Women Open Bureau
To Aid Mobilization
League for Service Will Help
to Care for Workers Who
Take Mems Places

The mobilization Of American women
in war industries is to be accomplished
through the establishment of Bureau
of Regulation and Information by the
National League for Women's Service
in Washington. The bureau was opened
Yesterday, with the approval and CO.
operation of the Federal government
All activities of the bureau are to be
subject to the approval of the Secretary
of Labor, who is to name representa-
tive on the bureaus board of directors
Ii is believed that many factories VIII
be obliged to engage women workers to
take the place of men who enlist. The
bureau is to keep records of women
trained in factory work, and will en-
deavor to notify the women when and
where their services are needed.
Another important work of the bu-
reau will be to provide day nurseries
and industrial canteens for the families
of women who are working in the fact
cries.
The bureau will also undertake to
care for the housing and health Of the
women workers who may go to the in
dustrial front" In many cases the
women will be obliged to live in factory
towns far from their homes, and it will
be the duty of the bureau to see that
adequate preparations are made for
them.
Secretary of Labor Wilson has an
nounced his intention of safeguarding
the health and efficiency Of munitions
workers, and it will be part OF the duty
Of the women's bureau TO put his rules
into effect
This will be accomplished through
the state and local organizations which
are affiliated with the National League
for Women's Service. This includes
many of the important women's clubs
throughout the country.

the little green throne.
Then a black cloud arose, for
every little girl wanted to be the
queen. All spoke up and had their
say, all but one little girl, Ena
greenleaf She was new one,
and little shy, and she stood by
without saying a word, and look
ing a good deal frightened at the
nine angry little girls.

it myself" declared Moy Blossom,
tho deep down in her heart she
knew she shouldn't say it, 1T is
my house and my pa.ty, and I'm
going to be the queen, and she
began to cry. Wasn't it an awful
state of affairs?
Just then came a soft little
"Ahem," and everybody looked up.
There stood mama in the door,
with beautiful wreath of geran-
ium leaves and tea doses and ivy
in her hand.

So mama picked who do you
think? Ena, who hadn't once said
she wanted to be queen.
She looked pleased enough
though, when mama led her up to
the wreath on her head; and all
the nine little girls bowed and said

Then the games began and when
