Mrs. Henry T. Rainey Urges Regis
tration of All in District So That
Each May Do Her Bit.

Registration of women of all stations
in life in the District of Columbia is
urged by Mrs. Henry T. Rainey. wife
of Representative Rainey of Illinois. In

Mrs. Rainey told of the interest and
active participation in war emergency
work of the women of Illinois. where
she assisted in registration for war
work of the women of that state under
the auspices of the Illinois State Coun-
Gil of Defense.
Twenty-six states of the Union have
already held registration days in which
the women have offered themselves for
war work, said Mrs. Rainey. I'm the
District of Columbia the situation is
perhaps more intricate than in any
other community. Thousands of wom-
en- have come here to work for the
government. l am told that of some
10000 clerks recently arrived in Wash
lnstop two-thirds of them are women.
Naturally they wish to do something.
