WOMEN WILL RF
 ASKED T0 REGISTER
Pine Bluff Women to Re Requested t0 Demonstrate Willingness, to
 Perform War Work.

All women in this city, over 16 years of age, will be asked to register for war work in the near future, according to a statement made last night by Mrs. Jack Bernhardt, who attended a meet ing of the State Council of Defense in Little Rock yesterday.
 Mrs. Bernhardt stated that Cover nor Brough is very anxious to secure as many volunteers among the women of the state as possible for war work and that the week of January IT to 25 has been designated as registra- ton week for the women of this state. No plans have as yet been outlined for the carrying on of the registration of local women, but it is very proba- ble that the work will be in charge of A. H. Powell, chairman Of tha Jeffer- son County Council Of Defense. Mr. Rowell stated last night that he had not been appointed and could give no information as to the conducting of the registration.
 However, it is generally understood in Little Rock that MT. Rowell will be designated as the official in charge of the registration. and that he will ap- point the committees to be in charge and name the places for the registra- tion at an early date.
 The registration is to be held for ] the purpose of ascertaining how many of the women of this state will voun- teer for war work, each woman regis tering stating what class of work she ;, is capable of doing and how many hours each day or week she will be willing to devote to this work. It is thought that great many patriotic women who have not taken an active interest in war work in the past will be reached in this manner and the ne- cessity for work of this nature made known to them.
