Women at war (Mrs. Smuda). If you didn't know better, you might think Mrs. Smuda spent the day comfortably darning socks for the family. Less than an hour before these pictures were made, this fifty-five-year-old mother and grandmother was skillfully tapering shells for machine guns at the Frankford Arsenal

Women at war (Mrs. Smuda). There's no household task too arduous for this 1942-style American mother who spends eight hours a day working at the Frankford Arsenal to smash the Axis. When those banisters need cleaning and polishing, they get cleaned and polished by the lady of the house

Mrs. Smuda's son. He used to drive a bakery wagon, but now he drives a truck for Uncle Sam. Private Edwin Smuda at camp "somewhere in the South" is one of America's many fighting men with mothers who are working just as hard for Victory as they are. Mrs. Eva Smuda, fifty-five, works eight hours a day in Frankford, Pennsylvania's arsenal where she tapers cartridge cases for 50mm shells.

Women at war (Mrs. Smuda). "The sweetest lady I ever met.. Dear Mother, I won't forget." So reads this pillow, sent Mrs. Smuda by her youngest son now at camp. But unlike Whistler's immortalized parent, the mother of the Smuda family spends little time in an armchair. She's much too busy working for Uncle Sam at the Frankford Arsenal and taking active care of her home and family after hours

Final picking over of pecan shells. Non-union pecan shelling plant. San Antonio, Texas

Three-inch A.A. cartridge cases. Cartridge cases for three-inch antiaircraft shells are produced by a series of operations that transform a flat brass disc into a case ready for loading with propelling charge and shell. Between each operation there is careful washing to remove all scale and adhesion and to leave surfaces clean for later processing. The big Midwest plant doing the work is well equipped to handle it in stride
