khaki.cIad Women Salute.

The number OF women in uniform
of various kinds has been attracting a
good. deal of attention recently, and
the action OF women in khaki who sa.
lutte army officers in the street has
been commented upon. II appears
that those who salute do so on their
own initiative and that the practice
is quite against the spirit of the
Women's Volunteer reserve and Of the
Women's Reserve ambulance, two of
the most prominent of womens corps.
The uniform of the Womens Hos.
pital corps is khaki color and was so
before the war Office gave them recog.
milton. The yeomanry nurses also
wear khaki and men who are back
from the front and know what both
these corps have done in Belgium and
France are said to pay the tribute OF
a salute to all women in khaki. French
and Belgian officers, in particular, are
quick to offer this courtesy.-Londor

CHICAGO GOING DRY.

Billy Sundays message to Chicago
to the effect that Batter Booze has
three balls and two strikes called on
him." prompted Chicago Tribune to
interview some of the downtown sa-
loonkeepers. This what one oldtimer
said:
Three balls and two strikes isn't
putting It strong enough. The bats
half swung on the third strike now,
way over the ball. You can go from
one end of the loop to the other and
crisscross, and you won't find single
saloonkeeper making money. In some
where between three and five years
this towns going to be dry as Evan
ston. The women are going to do 1t,
and I don't much blame them. It's
the women the things hit. Who suf-
fers when a good fellow making $1S
week, shows his sporting blood
by spending four or FIVE OF It over
the bar on pay day? Say. It's trag-
edy for that woman! So, what's she
going to do? Just stop it, put her foot
down and her vote down. Three balls
and two strikes, eh? You can Just
call that third strike now"
There's no doubt about It," said
another, Chicago is going dry. We
all know that, and so far as we are
concerned down here in the loop, II
might as well be dry now"

FINAL VOTE, 70 TO IS

After having side-tracked the question
for more than q year. the Columbia
Heights Citi1epe' Association last night
decided, by q vote Of 20 to Is not to
joid the Federation OF Citissns' Asso-
Citations. The vote ended . long and
stormy fight between two factions In the
Organization.
From month to month the matter had
been tabled. II had been announced.
however. that at last nights meeting the
question would be voted on In the form
of an amendment to the constitution.
Both factions appeared at the meeting
and debated for nearly tvo hours.
In urging the association to remain
out Of the federation. Charles Bupdy de-
clared that instead Of q litter 6br the
several associations In II, the federation
are working Tor their personal advance
ment and REIMBURSEMENT. what SIN
gle thing has this federation done that
can rightlyb . credited to it?''
In defense OF tho federation. Col.
Charles c. Lancaster declared the peo-
pie of the District have always injured
their own interests by failing to unite
their opinions. TIe declared that ''mem-
bers of Congress have said on the floor
what the people. of the District want.
We win gladly gtEe II to them"
Declares City Over-organiseA.
He scored the association for taking 20
narrow a view on the question a. to say
that they were organized merely to bet
ter Columbia Heights and should not be
concerned with the broad questions that
AFFECT the city.
William H. Saunders opposed Joining
the federation. declaring that there are
too many organizations In the District
already" William r. Harr. president of
the association. made q strong appeal to
the members to Join the federation, de-
claring that to remain out OF the Gen.
trail body would be tying our own
hands, impairing our own progress. I
have felt that the business of the as
sociation in future will deal with the
larger questions that affect the city.
and by remaining out OF the fedora
tion I have felt that We have been
losing an opportunity to participate
in the affairs Of the District"
