in advocating that these be taken out

"These public utility corporations now

Titus suffered no financial embar-

spendthrift mode OF living. He made
speeches bubbling over with hatred of
England and worship of the Kaiser at
German bazaars and other entertain

also an associate with the fugitive,
Jeremiah J. OLeary, in the American
Truth Society. This association came

The "hoopskirt methods" of many
women's organizations which are try
ing to do war work were denounced
yesterday afternoon by the newly ap-
pointed state chairman of the womcn's s
section of the Council OF National De-
fence, Mrs. Alexander Trowbridge, at
meeting of the Cosmopolitan Club.
"Ten million women will petition
President Wilson next week for a
greater share in war work." said Mrs.
Trowbridge. "The petition is being
circulated all over the country by the
Association of Collegiate Alumn@, and
will be presented to the President
within a few days.
Waste Must Be Eliminated

up to the standards established by the
men who are going into this war they

don't keep their files properly, which
are eXtravagant in postage stamps and

of work, which means waste of money
for rent, coal and lighting. Our men,
who have had the wonderful discipline
OF this war, are coming back to US
with greater sense of civic respon-
sibility, and if we are to be worthy of
them we must give ourselves the same
rigid discipline in our work. We must
not undertake work we cannot accom-
plish. We must resign from commit
tees to which we cannot do justice.
