WOMEN REGISTER
FOR WAR SERVICE


Everyone knows about the regis
tratlon of men for military service
on June s, but less Is known about
the registration Of women for war
service. II lsa fact, however. that
a great many women throughout
tho United States and some In Sour
nv county, hayealready registered
This registration is not compul-
sorry but Is approved by the govern
ment and Is being handled through
the National League for womensI
service Those registering are not
even obligated. except morally to do
what they promise The promise II
voluntary and living up to II al'er
IL is made is also voluntary The
league takes registration OF women
who actually want to so to the front
and do nursing, ambulance driving
wireless, etc and turns these over to
the government to draw In case oil
need. But also they take much
larger number Of registrations OF
women who do not expect to 80 TO
the front atall, and so state In their
registrations. Some Of the things
that may be registered for are max
ing home hospital supplies home
gardening and canning, assisting In
caring for needy families OF those
who have gone to the front serving
lunches and furnishing entertain
ment to soldiers in camps and on
route through the country. and all
such services that have a direct
bearing on the war through food
conservation or service direct to sol
dlers.
And besides all these, reglstra-
tons may be made to do all Kinds OF
clerical and office work This last In
for the purpose Of getting the won'

able to take the places OF the men
when a sufficient number OF them
have been calld to cripple the home
Industries.
The diplomatic representatives
from England and France who came
over to counsel us about the war IN
sisted on this registration OF women
for clerical work. Their experience
was that when almost all the able
bodied men had to leave home In

OPEN WIRING Is
ALLOWED UNDER
OLD ORDINANCE

The city Of Fargo cannot prohibit
open, .or knot and tube electrical
wiring in buildings within the FIRE
limits on which building permits
were secured before the present
building ordinance was passed.
The old building ordinance, under
which the permits were taken out,
and which would govern the erection
Of the buildings, did not specify that
open wiring was prohibited on build
ings within the hre limits.
These are facts which were called
to the attention Of the city commits
sion at special meeting this morn
ing, called to determine whether or
NOT open wiring in the North Dakota
Realty company's fve-story building
at Roberts street and Second avenue
north would constitute a fire risk
banned under the new ordinance.
After the facts had been ascertain
ed, the commissioners announced
that no further attention would be
paid to the matter. Further infor-
nation laid before the commission
evidenced the fact that the North
Dakota Realty company's building
was not only being well constructed,
but that every provision of the ord
nance which governed its erection
had been observed.
Inspector Admits Error.

Dakota Realty company's building,

mitted that his error in interpreting
the ordinance was responsible for
the matter being brought before the
commission. ~.
Good Building, Says Baker.
A. M. Baker. secretary OF the realty
company, was present at the meet
ing, and in statement to the com
declared that he decried the
publicity given the matter.
"Our company" he said, has been
on the square in the erection of this
building, and it is a good building,
one OF the best in Fargo"

While Castelnau and the crown
