for women, except as housewives. Think of
the outrage committed by Germany on
womanhood in this war. Never before in
the history Of the world. under the pro-

sanction of the government, have such
things been allowed. 30 this Is truly a war
against womanhood, against the home.
and against the higher ideals Of life, There
Ia only one place for the women of the
world and that is heart and soul with
the allies.
How can women help? We can do all
we are asked to do IN conserving, in Red
Cross work, etc, etc. We must remem-

Mrs. Mary Kenney, 90 years of age. was
alone In her home when the warning came
that the dam was breaking. She had
started to make her way from the house
and two men had gone to assist her when
the rushing waters carried her and the
wreckage Of her home down the gorge
The two men were caught In the current
but managed to make their way to safe
ground.
The dam was built about a year ago
for Frank r. Woodward, owner of the
plant Of the New England Novelty COM
pany. It was about As fest high and 100
feet wide. and held back a pond a mile
long. Shortly after eight o'clock tonight
the Waterman at the Novelty companys
plant discovered water coming through a
hole In the big concrete structure. He ran
down the side of the mill stream giving
the warning Of danger and ten minutes
later the dam broke.

A swarm of bees In July
