WOMEN STUDYING TO BE ELECTRICAL,
 ENGINEERS

Enrolment of women in engineer ing departments of American Univer- sities and colleges, reflects the chang ing demand for women in industry. At the Kansas State Agricultural College, there are 150 women studying to be- come electrical engineers. Clarence Reid, professor of Electrical Engin- eering at the Kansas Agricultural Col lege says:
 Women are being employed as power plant operators in the large central stations of Europe, and have been found entirely satisfactory. None of the machinery in these stations is operated by hand, but is all controlled by various forms of electric motors, set in operation by the touch of but ton or by electric magnets or air pres sure, or controlled in some manner so that physical strength is not at all necessary. Work of this kind is far less exhausting than many forms of work in which women are now engag- ed, for central station operators may use seats and have more variety Of movement in their work.
 Desirable qualifications for entering upon engineering study comprises abil- ity in mathematics and interest in sci entiic study"

FIRE CHIEF SAVES
 COAL FOR CITY

Fire Chief, II. NJ. Stackpole believ- ing in conserving the coal supply, has turned to the use of electricity. for heating.
 He recently had an electric sy stem installed in his offices, and the exper.- ment proved so successful, he determ- ined to have a system installed in the city Fire Hall Two radiators have been put in, one under each truck. for the purpose of keeping the engines and waterjackets warm, there by facilitating the starting of the en- zines when a hurry call is turned in.
 "Of course, We hear plenty of kicks from parts of the city, from the grouches and know-it-alls, but then. some people kick on general princi- pals. This system not only elimin- ates work of keeping fires going, but saves coal which is scarce and very high prices, worry of fire, and many other little inconveniences," the chief said this morning. The new system is going to prove quite a success it is believed.

 cOL.D DIT S400 Worth of Stamps SoId This Morning at
 Bank Sold Out

Bring in the flag, we've sold the last war stamp in the bank and we're cleaned out. We sold $400 worth of the stamps this morning, all we had, so tell 'em something about thrift stamps now Miss Repoter," said F. M. Lawson this noon, phoning from the Miners & Merchans Bank
 Yesterday only $47995 had been sold in two months war stamps and thrift stamps together. Today as a result of little stirring up on the part of the paper, nearly as much again was sold in two hours.
 With all the war stamps sold. the thrift stamps come next. Did you ev- CT stop to realize the billions of dol lars that must be raised to feed clothe and house the men who are giving up their lives, if need be, for their coun- try? Did you ever stop to think of where the money must come from to do all this if the people do not do their share? Just think of what a thrift stamp will buy. Statistics have been gathered by the Public Bureau Of Information, which tell us that a single thrift tsamp-25 cents will buy a tent pole or five tent pins, waist belt hat cord, shoe laces and identifica- tion tags. Two will buy double the quantity and one trench tool; one pair of woolen gloves, and so on ad infinitum. Tomorrow we will pub fish a list of what it costs to equip a soldier. The Government says it costs $147.60 to supply one soldier with a fighting outfit. Do you want to help outfit a soldier? Buy a thrift stamp, that's the Governments ans wer to those who would help.

Appeals to the school children of the United States to make garments for needy children, women and old men, who fled from the invaded dis for by the Red Cross. Some of these people are in France, others daily cross the Swiss border. A recent cable gram from Paris states that an aver age of 250 children arrive daily from behind the German lines at Evianle- Bain and that in the first week of the American Dispensary over 2,400 chill dren were examined, more than 1900 being between the ages of three and thirteen years" The refuges are des- titute and ill They must be given both food and clothing before being sent C. to their "billets" in various towns and villages. The French gov ernment which is putting all it's force into the fighting line cannot care for these wrecks of war. They depend for all the hrSt the needs Of lie, Tor f0od, shelter and clothing, upon the Ameri- can Red Cross.
 The Red Cross will continue to meet these heavy responsibilities as long as the people in America stand behind ii with money and supplies and supplies.

 The Red Cross Association says:
 Keep in constant touch with the nearest Red Cross Chapter to find out what articles are most needed Use only the warmest and most durable materials you can obtain, following directions in the American Red Cross pamphlets, Nos. COP, 497, 4OS, 4O9." The appeal from these destitute French children, whose fathers, are fighting side by side in the trenches with the fathers of American children should set going the little fingers on this side of the water.
 English schools took up this work early in the war, sending in few months 10000 kits" to Belgian and Serbian children.
 Normal school girls in France came to the aid of the pupils driven from schools in the invaded districts, mak- ing clothes for them and receiving them into their homes.
