ca 10 advlSe American women con corning their part in war work.
 The first service which this bureau set out to render was concerned with the mobilization of wage-earning wom- woman labor in the Government estab- lishments and in privately owned fac tories and mills engaged upon emer- gency orders for army and navy sup plies.
 Through this bureau many thou sands of workers have been supplied to the industries which means that the National League for Woman's Service has had great part in keeping in motion the wheels of the industries which furnish battleships, airplanes, munitions and other supplies. of war. On october 1 this bureau was made a part of the Department of Labor. and with this Federal office the League is working in full cooperation.

 In speaking of the plan and purposs of the National League for Woman: Service, Mrs. Coffin Van Rensselaer, one of the most prominent and activ' members of the organization commit tee said: 'The National League for Womans Service was the outcome and out growth of the preparedness sentiment we women felt that out of England experience we should build up an or ganization in this country whicl

 There arec lasses to teach English to foreigners who enlisted in the Canadian forces. Men of all nationalities are there. One young French Canadian is typical. Two months before, just back from the war, Jean could neither read nor write. but he had made such rapid progress that he was now addressing daily notes to his instructor and multi plying in four figures. He showed his copybook with its proud label For Cam ada and empire. Inside, beginning on the first page. were the exercises which stood for nothing less, step by step, than the opening up of civilization to a starved intelligence There, in the half former handwriting of this soldier of the expeditionary force, who was wound- ed in the side in the first battle of Ypres. were such painfully written sheets as "Diekey bird, diclSey bird, whither away?" When Jean can read, he is to take up motor mechanics. When the doc tors discharge him he will face the world with some compensation for his lifelong physical handicap.
 Shoe repairing is adapted to the older men-for some who went with the first recruits had turned 50. Do you want my regimental age or my real one? they ask when back in a hospital.

They will be preferred in appointments to such places Woodworking, both carpentry gardening, flower cutltu.e poultry rais- ing are some of the other things taught.

 w Woman's Service, an organ million of American women organized in 3S States and in TOO cities, has to it's credit wide and worthy accomplish ment of war work.
 The National League for Woman's Service was organized on January 27, 1917. to promote and standardize the work of women in America, along lines of constructive patriotism; to de- velop the resources and increase the efficiency of women in meeting their everyday responsibilities to home, State and nation; to provide organ ized, trained groups in every commu- nifty to cooperate with the Red Cross and other agencies in meeting any calamity, fire, flood, famine, economic disorder or other like contingency, and, in time of war. to supplement the work of the Red Cross and to render such service 10 the Army and Navy as may be required of women.
 Plan Ot The League.
 The plan of work of the League, in general outline, Is to develop a clear ing house Of information regarding women's organizations, to coordinate the work of women's organizations and to develop the resources of wom- en through a standardized, national ized program of activities. Its pur- pose is also to recommend to the prop CT Governmental agency a registry of the woman power of America and to organize a woman,s bureau under the Federal Government to deal with woman's work and woman's welfare.
 The National League for Woman $ Service has arranged it's program of activities for coordinating the work and developing the resources of the women of America by dividing the work into a dozen national divisions as follows: Social and Welfare: Home Economies; Agricultural; Industrial; Mes.ical and Nursing; Motor Driving; Gen srai Service: Health: Civics: Sig nalin v Map Reading: Wireless and

 Including the courses begun in con- valescence there is great variety from which to choose. Machine shop practice, care and operation of automobile, rail- road and commercial telegraphy, survey ing, general courses in electricity, as- saying and milling, sanitary inspection, chemistry, motion picture projecting, clay modelling, steam and gas engines, ox-actylene gas welding, plumbing and steam fitting, barbering, watch repairing, scientific farming, stationary engineer ing are some of the trades for which Canadian soldiers are fitted by re- edu- cation. To get this training they are sent to schools. factories and fields.
 Beginning afresh! That is what it means to the men. In the case of many disabled soldiers re-education will give them the training they have always wanted but never been able to get-the great chance to do at last the thing they can do best and have always longed to do. These men, fragments from France" picked up on No Mans Land, have long ways to go-back to England, back to Canada-through the hospitals through the study and the training-be- fore they can be nome again" in the fullest sense of the word.

YAVAPAI GOAT MAKESA SWELL |. LITTLE MASCOT
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 In writing to Recorder E. A. Me Swiggin, member of the local exemp- ton board. Leon Duprey, now sta- toned at Camp Pike, Arkansas, tells something of the trip which the Ari- zona boys had last week to that camp. The boys had been given a pet goat for mascot, the present com ing from Doc Pardee just before the train left Prescott. The goat evil dently made a hit all along the line. Leon says:
 We all arrived here in good shape. Our goat mascot has been named the Arizona Kid" and he was the ob- feet of much enjoyment as we car ried him right in the Pullman with us all the way here At McAllister, Oklahoma, the goat was the means of our drawing the attention of all of the girls at the depot, and the rest of the passengers on the train looked on with much interest.
 "We have all decided that after the war it will be the high and dry eli mate of the west for us, and none of this humid eastern country in ours. We are all enjoying camp life, al- though some things come rather hard. We will long remember that fine turkey dinner which we had at Prescott on the day we left.
 With best wishes for yourself and all of the people back in Yavapai, l am, sincerely. etc"
