cash AND CARRY" IS
UNDER CONSIDERATION
LOCAL BUSINESS MEN TAKE HOLD
OF THE PROBLEM IN PRAC-
TICAL WAY

Cash and Carry" met with favor in
a mass meeting of business men at the
city hall last evening. The meeting
was well attended and the proposed
change in business methods was dis
cussed in all it's phases. The prevail
ing sentiment was in favor of mod
flied form of the "Cash and Carry" sys-
TEN.
Among the men who participated in
the lively discussion it was agreed that
as the request for this method of doing
business came from the federal gov
ernment as war measure it was the
patriotic duty of all to adopt it as far
as possible. It is intended to apply
almost wholly to grocery stores and
meat markets.
To reach a definite conclusion
committee composed of G. A. Hagan,
H. N. Wilson, F. A. David, George
5ievers and N. Williamson was ap-
pointed to work out plan for Moscow.
This committee will report at an open
Meeting at the city hall Monday after
loon at 2 o'clock.

Monday Evening

Monday evening at 7:9O the Gus
tomary three taps of the fire bell
at the central station will be given

crept into the paper last evening say
ing that the ball was to be this eve
ming. 1t is to be Monday evening at

CONGESTION

WASHINGTON-The advantage OF
federalizing the railroads was shown
in the face of the storm today when
Secretary McAdoo was able to tele-

move traffic by the most convenient

were ordered to send locomotives to
help the east. Eighty have already
been sent to the congested districts
1t is expected that Secretary McAdoo
will Immediately recommend a strict
curtailment of passenger and non-war
traffic. The giving of coal and sup
plies precedence is expected and VIII
be accepted by the public as war
measures. The secretary is letting the
other problems rest until the conges-
ton is broken. Two hundred 1ocomo-

NO AGE LIMIT FOR
WOMEN IN WAR WORK

There is no age limit for the
service of women in war work.
This fact has been demonstrate
ed to the woman's committee of
the council of national defense.
OF the thousands of letters that
have come in recently from all
parts of the country, begging
for some work which will be of
zeal worth to the government,
one was from an elderly lady
ninety-six years of age, and one
from little girl nine years
old. The old lady writes that
she would like to have some
definite war work to do, since
her son is too old to be SOL
der. The little girl wants to
go to France as a messenger in
the Red Cross service. In
France, at the beginning of the
war, the age limit for govern
mental service was placed at
forty years. All the women In
France are now working for
their country.

DIR. SHAW SEES
PLENTY OF WORK
URGES AMERICAN WOMEN TO EN-

EVERYWHERE
By GEORGE MARTIN

WASHINGTON-Too many Ameri-
can women are racing off to Europe
or tearing up and down the land look
ing for something patriotic to do
While children at home are becoming
delinquents and young girls are in
adequately safeguarded. There s
plenty of war work at home they
might be doing too.
That in brief was the opinion ex-
pressed to the United Press today by
Mrs Anna Howard Shaw, chairman
OF the woman's committee of the coun-
Gil of national defense.
And borrowing a phrase from her
ancient suffrage rivals, the ants, this
former president of the National
American Suffrage association added:
'Woman's place, unless she can
give expert assistance abroad as nurse
or doctor, is at home.
Children are not so we'll cared for
as they should be. The increase of
juvenile delinquency proves that. Girls
need more protection Factories and
stores want workers. Some women
can save food. Others, who cannot go
to work outside the home may be able
to offer place to live, rooms or food,
to those who can work
The womans committee has put
out card for the women of the ma
ton, listing 154 occupations, most of
which can be followed right in a
woman's home town, that will help
America with the war;" DR.. Shaw said |
Her own country needs the pa
triotic American woman right now,"
said DR.. Shaw, "and she has only to !,
ook around from her front door to see |
necessary work which is going un-
lone.
To-day we know that we have a

Use at all. Registration is helping
many women in the So states where

or, to see their own possibilities for

"a study of the registration cards
7ill show many ways in which each j
ne may give service, whether she
trained or unframed. Many trades 2
nd professions enumerated are es- i
ential in the industries connected with /
ne war. Others are necessary to main S
