RESIGNS POSITION.
Miss Edith McCully, Protective Matron
Going to Virginia.

Going 10 virginia.
Miss Edith McCully, protective matron
in Burlington for the last two months, has
given her resignation to Mayor ]. Holmes
jackson. to take effect October %, and
will assume a similar position in Peters,
burg, Va. Miss McCully came to Burling-
ton after resolution had been passed
by the board of aldermen to engage pro-
tective matron, In response to an aappeal
made by group Of women who appeared
before the board in the interest Of the
movement which she represented. The
experiment was to be tried for three
months and Miss McCully was engaged
for that time. She had one month more to
stay but as the position offered her in
Petersburg, Va, is permanent and 1t was
not certain whether 1t would be more than
temporary in Burlington, Miss McCuly
, thought 1t wiser to accept the offer made
her.
When seen by Free Press reporter last
evening. Miss McCully said: II have re-
ceived ford from Miss Miner. chairman Of
the national committee on protective work
with girls in training camp cities. to finish
work here as soon as possible and go to
Petersburg. Virginia. The work there will
be that of director Of the protective bu-
reau, which will include some Of the
| scouting" directing the two police
women. and supervising the detention
home which is being prepared to care for
| girls who may be picked up on the streets.
This protective bureau Is being financed
| by the city council, and is backed by the
women Of the town. which has about 15.O OC
inhabitants. l regret leaving Burlington
very much and would not be doing so II
this had been a permanent position.
II think that the work should not cease
here in Burlington. 1t takes several weeks
to get acquainted with a strange city and
its people. and no worker can do herself
or the work justice in three months. She
is Just beginning to find out conditions al
the end of that time. The next person
should come here in the early winter so AZ
to get in touch with conditions before
warm weather. September Is the wrong
time of the year to begin"

TOY WORKS IN new LOCATION
Manager Hoag Buys Block at st.
Paul and King Streets.
Building Erected Some Twenty Years
Ago BY Late william Smith ~ Car
riage Mandatory and
Repair Shop.

The w. c. Hoag company. manu-
facturers of toys and novelties, will rise
Phoenix-like from the ashes to which
their factory was leveled at the fire at
the old skating rink week ago last
night.
Yesterday morning w. C. Hoag. the
manager of the company, purchased the
block at the corner of st. Paul and King
streets, known as the William Smith &
Co. carriage building, from George e.
Ferrin, the administrator of the Smith
estate, and Immediately began the work
of fitting UP the place for the new &C.
cupants.
The new home Of the novelty and toy
works was built at the end of the last
century. and in 1900 the late William
Smith moved his carriage business there,
where It has been conducted ever since
for the last six years under the man.
agement Of George E. Ferrin, a son-in-
law Of the deceased. That there is much
more room than in the old rink building
is evidenced by the fact that while there
was formerly about 10000 square feet OF
floor space at the company's disposal. In
the new plant there will be 1887. The
building is heated by steam, and Is OF
solid construction.
Mr.. Ferrin, when seen by a Free Press
man yesterday, said that he had no plan:
for the future, other than that he was
going on a hunting trip in a few days. He
was Of the opinion that as soon as possible
he would dispose Of the few remaining
carriages In stock.
The question of the purchase of thu
place has been hanging fire for severa
days: as a matter Of fact, ever since thu
night of the fire. On the night that Mr.
! Ferrin offered Mr.. Hoag the use of hi!
building there was no thought Of a sal
! in the air, but a couple of days later Mr.
Hoag called at the office of the carriag
company. and wished to make a deposi
with Mr.. Ferrin that would bind sale
This offer was declined by Mr.. Ferril
at the time. Yesterday things were ar
ranged, however. and all that remains i
the signing of a few papers to-day.
Mr.. Hoag's idea In purchasing this larg
| floor space was to allow for future bust
ness expansion. For a long time tn
novelty works have been showing evi
dences Of healthy growth and as severa
large orders are already on hand 1t
the intention of the company to utilize a
three floors to keep pace with the de
mands. All of the old help will be EN-
ployed as soon as the installation of tn
machinery makes 1t possible to begi
operations.
Mr. Ferrin has given Manager Hoa
free rein to use all the costly lumber 1
the basement of the building for buildin
purposes, and this amounts to a larg
sum at the present time when one cor
siders the present state of the lumbe
market.

PIE JUMPS UP.
Hard Blow Dealt Lovers of Great
American Dessert.

Pie. the great American dessert. has
been placed on the plane with aristocratic
salt pork and other wartime dainties that
we're once plebian articles Of diet. This
week three Church street restaurants
jumped the price from five to ten cents
per cut and they make Ave cuts from each
pie at that. This advance In price would
seem to some unwarranted in view of the
fact that the citys principal pie-baker
asserts he has not recently raised his price
IN the restaurant proprietors and is stifi
selling them 1000 pies a day at IA cents
each. Wartime conditions make some
high prices necessary. but In some

reason for high prices.
