.WOMAN'S MOTOR SERVICE
. FILLS A WAR TIME NEED
Army Officers Enthusiastic Over
Way Members Of Society Are
Learning Real War Work.

Scores of society women of Washing
ton. who. under the leadership of Mrs.
J. Borden Hartman. organized them
selves into woman's motor service
Tor the period of the war" are found
by the War Department to fill a real
need and are being kept busy on work
directly for the War Department.
Not only are these women, driving
their own cars and often having an
army ambulance as trailer. sent to
the training camp of the Marine Corps
at Quantico and of the Engineer Corps
at Belvoir to bring to Washington for
hospital treatment sick or injured
men, but they are also getting in
tensive training themselves under Of
f1cers of the War Department
These women are getting the same
drills and being put through the same
maneuve-s as the regular army units.
This corps was drilled for three hours
yesterday, from, $40 to 1870 pm, IN
Potomac Park, and the regular army
officers directing their training are en-
thusiastic over the way in which these
society women are adapting themselves
to real war work.
The motor service in Washington has
been taken as a model for similar Or
ganizations throughout the country and
frequently applications are made to
War Department officials for officers to
be detailed to train women.
The course of instruction being given
to the Washington women includes lit
ter drills. how to handle wounded
man and a general training in efficient
ambulance work, such as is being given
to the Ambulance Corps now in train
ing for service in France at the camp
in Allentown, Pa.

GHOST HOLDS FORTH
AT FRANKLIN SCHOOL
Unlike Most Members Of Spectral
Family, It Stands Abroad
in Daylight.

There is a ghost at the Franklin
School.
Unlike most members of the spectral
family. this one stalks abroad-or
rather stands-in full daylight. The
ghost stands just within the door of
the Office Of the superintendent of
schools and stares uncannily at the
visitor. The staring specter seems to
be a part of the frosted glass pana1 of
the door: from the depths OF the glass
can be seen the head and shoulders of
a man. the eyes ever staring out Of the
CLASSY. frosted depths.
What is the specter? No one knows
1t can be seen from only certain angles
and in certain lights. When one APP
proaches toward the door the specter
disappears
Possibly the composition Of the glass
is responsible for the specter. At any
rate Supt- Ernest l. Thurston doesn't
worry about his constant "starer." and
indeed even forgets the presence"

Tells Of Bertha's Confession.

Relating to reporter for The Star
the story of Bertha's confession, the
colored mission worker said the woman
sent for him several days ago and told
him something was troubling her. He
had previously heard 1t said that Saun-
ders had expressed confidence in the
outcome of his trial and had limited at
a surprise. but he did not connect such
statements with any possible claim that
the woman would make an admission
that she killed her own niece.
Asking her what troubled her. said
the Christian worker. she told him that
she. and not Saunders. had killed
Eleanor Taylor She said she knew of
the relations which existed between
Saunders and her niece. and when she
learned of their prospective meeting
near Camp Pleasant. in the northeast
section of the District, she concluded
