w ITH death ever imminent,
w dreading that which may
w fall from the skies and
that which may come out
of the sea, yet with the knowledge
that the men are needed on the Con-
tinent. the women of the British
Isles, what are they doing and how
do they feel?
According to cablegrams, press
notices and photographs. they are
doing q work which qualities them
not only as highly efficient hu-
man beings in a polite sense. but
as beings able also to provide for
the common defense and promote the
general welfare" of the country in
which they are legally such unim-
portant factors.
According to one of them. Mrs.
Bigou MacKinnon. Of MacKinnon,
Scotland, they are working like bees
in a hive. forming companies of
rules of first aid and defense, and
willingly giving all they have to
protect the homeland.
The war office often refuses their
aid. But what do they care? Not
a jot. They. go ahead with their
viding and very quietly, without os-
tentation or notice, the war office
reaps the benefit of that which they
have done.
Mrs. MacKinnOn, who is staying in
Washington this spring, sat in her
home yesterday, and with strained
voice and wide-open eyes in which
the tears gathered continually. but
never overfiowed. told the story Of
what some of the women are doing,
reading from letters occasionally,
and then again stopping her task of
sewing upon a huge white cotton
flannel garment, which was unmis-
takably nightshirt, to lean for
ward and try to gain composure
enough to continue her story.
Tragedy In Her Eyes.
AS she sat there. placid enough Of

tragedy in her eyes was a strong
contrast. and when she turned quick

down by the war office. But It did
hot make any difference to her.
Profit BY Her Labor.
She knew that she was a good
shot and a good teacher, so when
she was refused. she lust laughed
and said: We'll, then. I'll just rent
a big back yard and teach recruits
to shoot there. I'll teach all OF my
men friends and have shooting
parties Of a private nature Still
the war office paid no attention to
her, but when she got out in Sails

calmly with her work. the govern
ment accepted II. She hasn't any
title. and she doesn't get any pay,
but she saves the government time
and money, and they are quietly
accepting her services and profiting
by her labor.
The very latest work Is the Penny
Fund for the sick and wounded with

themselves mourning. because
mourning costs money and they

The Central Senior team has cam
celed the remaining games of its
schedule. A number of the girls felt
that they wished to give more time
to their school work, since at COM
mencement time the seniors will
have a number OF other duties that
cannot be omitted 80 easily. The ILL
ness of Miss Weber has, in addition,
deprived the teams of personal coach
ing. The official closing of the sea-
son will take place on April 16, and
the other teams will practice up to
that time. The closing of the senior
schedule means the cancellation of
the game against Gallaudet on
March 81.
All the Central teams have had
the disadvantage of having short
practice periods and lack of indi-
Vidual coaching. With twenty teams
organized, with captains elected to
represent their teams whenever
necessary, there has been little
chance to give time to the case of
