had not seen him since he had left
home eight years before. Then news
came that he had been grievously
wounded, and was to be discharged
from military service, and sent home.
Meanwhile, father had died, mother
was very feeble, and there was no one
to meet Tom when he should arrive at
the port Of New York but myself. The
news that he had of Tom was that he
pined to get home and the surgeons had
decided to send him without waiting
for him to fully recover.

when Tom would arrive, SO went to
New York and waited. One morning
learned that ship was at quaran-
tin and would be at the dock In few
hours. I Immediately went to the
landing place, and in due time the ship
was docked. I went aboard, and on
deck, on stretcher, lay soldier,

Don't trouble yourself about any

not far from me, I ran to him and
begged him to send some men to carry
my brother ashore. The officer at
once ordered four men to take up the
stretcher and carry 1t to the dock.

the shore, asked him If I should get
an ambulance for him.
"Not on your life" he replied. I've
seen all Of the ambulances I care to

of them. I'm strong enough to sit up
In an auto"
There were taxicabs about, and

COMMITTEE PLANNING TO
 PROTECT WOMEN WORKERS
Department of Connecticut Division, Woman's Committee, Suggests Lines of Activity.

The following statement of the work of the Department for the Protection of Women Workers of the Connecticut Division, Woman's Committee. Coun- ciI of National Defense. of which Dr.
 Mary C.. Wells is chairman. Is author ized by the Connecticut Division: This department has suggested an initial plan of work as follows: The establishment of bureau ment in factories can be seen sa that factories receiving surplus applica- tons may refer them to this bureau for the use of those who may need such employees.
 Another suggestion is the enlistment of cooperation of employers in em- ploying unmarried young women and childless married women in wage earning occupations and refraining from using the mothers of young children, and so far as possible pre- vent their entering the industrial field; partly for the reason that too often the father makes the wage earn ing of his wife a pretext for idleness for himself.
 Another suggestion, that the com tisements appearing in papers for women to do mems work, in order to find out the hours and conditions of labor of women engaging in such po- sitions who would not come under the protection of our laws. Such as, for instance women asking to qualify for railroad positions in all depart ments and occupations, and women to qaulify as meat cutters.

The first Is On Trial. the sensational dra- matfc success, starring Sydney Aims worth and little Mary McA1lister, in seven acts. On Trial will be remem- bered by those who saw the show when it played at this theatre at $2 prices and also remember what a sen sadon the play created. The play opened with a court room scene. Rob- ert Strickland was on trial for the murder of his ertswhile friend, Ger aid TraSk- Ten thousand dollars in bank notes missing from Trask's home safe, was claimed as the motive for the murder. Strickland acted like a maniac, proclaiming himself guilty. He did not want a trial, even. It seemed almost certain that the death penalty would be the jury's verdict and Strickland awaited it eagerly.
 The other feature Is Wilfred Lucas and Elda Millar in the five part Fri angle production, Her ExceIlency The Governor. To complete the show there will be a funny Triangle KoIn- edy. Usual time and prices.
