At the present time women have formed the greatest national rcseivo force in labour. In England tho girls who' havo undertaken munition work do not earn much money: the tfork was necessary for tho nation, and thev are doing it. Tn this work is seen the need for tho Young AVomen's Christian Association. Without this organisation the young munition workers would indeed fare badly. The sleeping cubicles, as well as tho necessary rest and recreation rooms'are provided by the association^for the young women workers.
