u. S. Needs Now
1000 Women for
Service i'm France
Workers for Canteen and
Hospital Hut Service
Urgently Required

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.--Two thou
sand women are needed at once for
canteen and hospital hut service in
France by the American Red Cross.
Cablegrams received from France with
in the last few weeks have emphasized
the Importance Of recruiting personnel
to meet these needs and of expediting
the sailing of those who have been ac-
cepted To promote plans to meet this
appeal the women directors division
of the divisional bureaus of personnel
met in Washington last week
Mrs. August Belmont, who is an as
sistant Of the War Council, declared at
the meeting it is necessary to send
only the fittest women. "The women
we send abroad" she said, mot only
represent American womanhood, but
they must represent the mothers and
sisters and those dearest to the men
with our own army. Make our women
feel this Is the greatest opportunity
ever offered them in the worlds his
tory"
Hospital huts for convalescent pa
tients are now established in connec-
ton with all base hospitals. For each
1000 beds there is to be a recreation
hut operated by four or five women.
Broadly speaking, two kinds of work
are carried on by the women enrolled
IN the hut service. They run a branch
of the government quartermaster' s
store, dispense hot drinks, run the
hospital library and arrange informal
entertainments for the convalescent
They also act as searchers for casualty
information, a work requiring tact,
sympathy and resourcefulness, write
letters for the soldiers and perform
many other tasks for which the nurses
have no time.
Women entering the canteen and
hopita and hut service must be be-
tween twenty-five and thirty-five years
old. They must serve for minimum
Of six months or for one year if their
expenses are betrayed by the Red
Cross.

ToHelp War Work
Homes in Washington Are
Canvassed TO Provide for
Women Employees

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-"You are
patriotic enough to send your son to
the trenches, but are you patriotic
enough to take q girl war worker into
your home?" This is the question
with which Washington residents were
confronted in recent survey of all
the unoccupled rooms in town.
The results of the survey were dis
appointing. The United States homes
registration service. realizing that the
increase Of work IN government de-
workers into town than there were
rooms for, sent soldiers to canvass
Washington and find out what families
would rent rooms until the emergency
was past. Under the inspiration Of the
persuasive engineers who canvassed
for the rooms, many householders said
that they would take one or two room
ers. But when the women representa-
tlves from the Home Registration Ser
vice investigated the promised places
they found that the offers had been
reconsidered.
The government departments expect
TO bring approximately 1000 more en-
pioyes here between now and the end
of the year, while the United States
homes registration service is under
stood to have not more than 1000
rooms still available for war workers.
The dormitories on the Union Sta
ton plaza are due to be completed on
December !, with accommodating for
about $500.
1t is estimated that 20 per cent of
the government employees leave their
positions because they cannot find suit
able rooms. Consequently the housing
question is one closely related to de-
partmental growth and to labor over
turn: Under the present laws it is i'm
possible for the government to COM
mandeer rooms in private homes.
There are many large homes in Wash
'ngton of from fourteen to thirte
rooms occupied, by only one or two
persons. But the unoccupied space in
them is absolutely unattainable for
war workers except through the pa-
trlotism of the owners, or by special
act of Congress or the President.

ing takes larger proportion of the
smaller income than the larger income,
it follows that the s100 granted the

The third popular concert of the
Society of American Singers was given
last night at the Park Theatre. The
assisting artist was Miss Emily Gres-

talent. In the Vivaldi G minor con-
certo and in group Of shorter num-

an incisive sense of rhythm and not q
little breadth of style, Miss Gresser is
young artist whose abilities are far

Tom Moore Is as good a chauffeur
as he is a motion picture actor! Need

The Goldwyn star is appearing at
the Rialto this week in picture called
Thirty a Week." though it seems to
our romantic mind that it might better
be called "Why Girls Leave Home"
Little Tallulah Bankhead is the girl
in the case, and if she keeps on doing
such excellent work every one will soon
learn how to spell her name-meaning
that they will read it quite often on
the programmes.
Tom Moore is Danny Murray, a
chauffeur, who wears a perfect fitting
uniform and drives car for Barbara
Wrlght's papa.
Now, Barbara had ideas Of her own,
and one of them was to attach Danny
and marry, him. So one day she made
him lose his way and then she stole
toe kinepin out of the engine, and
they had to stay there all night. When
the next morning arrived Barbara said
that she was compromised, and so
they were married and lived on $50 n
week.
Interfering relatives and near-rela-
tives try to separate them, but love
laughs at misch efmakers, and all ends
happily.
Tom Moore doesn't bother to try to
be good looking. He doesn't need TO-
He has that elusive thing colled charm
and his latest picture is one of the best
things he has done. Harry Beaumont
directed it.
There is young woman appearing
st the Strand this week named Jane
Holder, who is the owner of q remark
able tenor voice.
Mr.. Edel discovered her, so the story
goes, among his girl ushers, and per-
suaded her to sing on the stage. Miss
Holders voice is not n misplaced con-
trato, but pure tenor of considerable
range and sweetness. She sings "Ce-
leste Aida" and II Hear You Calling
Me"
The concluding chapters Of "Tarzan
Of the Apes" are shown as the feature
picture under the caption 1.-THE Ro-
nance of Tarzan." Some people may
enjoy this picture, but as for us-well,
we never cared much for cavemen with
chests which measure 48. and 54 in
nated.
Tarzan did we'll enough on his native
heath. playing with the monkeys, but
when he goes to America and puts on
his clothes he looks exactly like the
physical culture man who used to stand
in the drug store windows to advertise
a tonic or something.
Enid Markey is the millionaire's
daughter who falls in love with Tarzan.
Elmo Lincoln is Tar2an, who in spite
of the fact that he was the pride and
JOY Of the JUNGLE for twenty years
speaks perfect English and is always
crying for his "mate."
There are plenty or wonderful scenes
and there are tigers and lions and boa
constructors and elephants and mon
keys and natives, and Tarzan in his
dress-suit. The picture is we'll worth
seeing.
James Montgomery Flagg has done
a patriotic picture called "Tell That to
the Marines"
