Lady Scott, widow of Captain Scott, the British Brit-ish naval officer who lost his life while returning from the south pole, is now one of the1 thousands of British women who are working in the munitions factories of England to keep the armies at the front supplied with ammunition and other war necessities. neces-sities. A story issued by the official press bureau in London contains the following: fol-lowing: I confess the change to such unfamiliar un-familiar conditions made an adventure adven-ture of which, contrary to my expectations, ex-pectations, the zest did not wane. Partly, I suppose, because I made friends; they came and stayed with me. I stayed with them; they were new to me as I to them; but we liked each other. There was a jolli-ness jolli-ness about it all arriving with daylight day-light into a warm room among friendly faces and in the evening hurrying each other up to get ready so that friends could walk home in company. In short, there was real comradeship, comrade-ship, and the personal lives of my friends became of great importance to me. Beyond all this, there was absolute freedom from that unrest which is a characteristic disease of this time. The munitions worker, like the man in the ranks, is under orders, doing her pieco of assigned work. There is no time to be am- i ious, to fret for news, to feel the days drag heavily. One gets home, eats, sleeps like a tired animal, and awakens fresh, ready to go on again. Looking back on it, I would , not for anything ,be without the experience, ex-perience, and I honestly believe that no one who volunteers will regret the choice.
