Of inquiry this morning, County Attor
ney Venable stated that he had
learned that the condition of Engineer
Powell, who has been in the Chickasha
hospital ever since the accident, was
slightly improved and that the house
physicians had informed him that
Powell had a fighting chance for his
life. Such being the case. Mr.. Venable
asked that the inquest be adjourned
until 9 o'clock, November 4, at which
time, Mr. Venable stated there was
a possibility that Powell might be SO
far recovered as to be able to appear
before the jury and testify.
Also, Mr. Venable stated that he
thought the evidence Of the engineer
on the freight, Mr. Stapleton. should
be brought out ana that Stapleton he
understood could not appear before
the jury at this time on account, it
was alleged, of beins nmed up from
the effects of his lea- ng from his fly
ing engine at the time of the accident
Mr.. Venable stated this afternoon
that he had been given to understand
by railway officials that they would
see to it that Conductor Cowan would
be produced in court whenever again
needed as a witness. Mr.. Venable said
he understood that Mr.. Cowan vas in
a rooming house on Chickasha avenue
and that his condition was not good.

five hundred kilometers of new

road thirteen kilometers long, laid so
that troops and conveys could pass,
day and night, without being seen,

When all was ready the artillery cut

not been materially changed.
The cannon seem to touch wheels.
There are batteries everywhere, their
crews active in correcting ranges on
new enemy positions, in response to
telephone calls from hidden observers

commands from specks lowering in

The combined scream OF the shells Is

but considering conditions, even had
the Gallo Losses been enormous, the
Champagne victory would have been
cheap. The county was not only elec-
trified. but the French troops are surer
than ever that they are fully equal to
the mightiest blow Germany has to

My personal impression is that the

feet that much preparation is neces-
sary to an advance under present con
ditions.

WOMEN ON
TRAM JOB
FOR KEEPS
By WILBUR s. FORREST,
CBy U. p. staff correspondent.)

(By U, P. staff correspondent.)
LONDON, Sept. 29.-OBy NALL
Women tram conductors have come tc
stay-at least in England
In her fight for emancipation, the
English woman has established heI
right and ability to hold the rear plat
form. Serious consideration is even
being given to ceding her the front
platform. Motorwomen seems Ques-
tion of but few months.
Since the beginning OF war, women
have been employed as conductors in
Germany, France, Italy and England.
Nearly two thousand now have perma-
nent positions. Another $4,000 have
applications on file. From these every
vacancy is being filled in preference
to men.
The crowning elimination cams
when the seal of official approval was
placed upon her employment by the
municipal tramways association o. the
United Kingdom. in annual conference
There was not a single protest against
her employment and when the pro-
posal OF "motorwomen" was made.
cries of "Why not?" rang from all
parts Of the room.
The assembly found that woman
trolley car conductors brought certain
problems and these we're discussed.
The delegates from Glasgow, where
nearly one thousand women are EN-
ployed. stated it was feared the skirts
OF the conductors would prove ma inn
pedient in winter in running up and
downstairs on the doubIe-deckers.
The Glasgow corporation proposes
to remedy this by furnishing the |
women conductors with CATERS
Glasgow has been so won to the
woman conductor idea that perma-
nent school of instruction has been
opened A ticketinspector is the
teacher
Each pupil is put through the proc.
ess Of inquiring the destination. issu-
ing and punching tickets. and calling
stations until she is letter perfect in
her route.
One Of the few complaints regts.
tered against the women was their
lack Of appreciation OF the value Of
time. They find II difficult to realize
that the matter OF being few mo-
ments late in signing on or In taking
up relief is serious. The companies
are trying to overcome this difficulty
through inspectors.
One of the most frequent causes for
this delay. it was reported, was that
"a woman conductor had something
to say to another woman, and would
rot 20 on duty till she finished it,
At the Glasgow school. while one
woman is being put through her reci-
tation the others listen. This ac-
quaints them with an routes in the
city.
II was agreed that women between
"a and 35 make the best conductors.
Their influence has been all for the
best Even on the ''roughest and
toughest" routes they can control OBJ
streperous passengers better than the
men conductors.
So successful has been their work
that the congress decided to ask the
county council of London to remove
its can against their employment.
London is the one city in the British
isles that SO far has held out against
them.

Deer Park Aid Holds Meeting.

The Ladies' Aid Society OF Deer
Park Church held its regular monthly
meeting at the home of Mr.. Thomas
Paynter January 20, it being the first
month Of the new year. The officers
were elected al follows: President,
Mrs Elizabeth Wardenfelt; Vice Pres
ident, Mary Beard; Secretary, Alice
Spencer; Collector, Fannie Bucking-
ham; Treasurer, Maggie Conaway;
Organist, Peal Lockard; Assistant
Organist, Maggie Sayers. We have at
present a membership of 112 on roll.
The collection for this month amount
ed to $3.50. SiXty-seven members
and four friends were present. The
aid had a new pump put at the par
sonage door, two rooms papered and
several other little things done for
the comfort Of the pastor and his wife,
and have contributed $144-T5 towards
the painting OF the interior Of the
church. They always contribute to-
wards the pastors salary and improve
ments. The treasurer was sick and
could not bring her report and under
the conditions ! cannot say how much
money still remains in the treasure,
but have an idea it is a snug little
sum, considering country aid. After
the business was over the hostess
served refreshments in abundance.
The next meeting will be held at the
home Of Mrs. James Klohr, Eastview,
February 26.
