fore the sale opened at Padau long
lines of women awaited their chance.
Each person was allowed to buy only
a given mount. There was also
clothing for men and children.
Concerning the first public sale at
Taormina, a Red Cross worker in
charge of the sewing-room wrote:
THE women, most of them barefoot
and pitifully ragged, filed past me to
receive for their two and one-half lire
the fresh. not to say pretty, garments
made by my workers. One woman
wore a dress OF sacking. Each was
allowed to choose her own dress and
each received besides the dress a
change of underwear and. as long as
the stockings we had on hand held
out. a pair Of stockings. The children
received two dresses and a change OF
underwear. and the old men shirts
and underwear"
So successful were these first sales
that others on a larger scale have been
planned. The material for the cloth
ing is furnished free, and the sales are
conducted : by volunteers. All the
money that is realized goes t. make
wages for those who otherwise would
be destitute.

A COMMUNICATION
To the Society Editor:

To the Society Editor:
Referring to a statement by Mrs R.
W. Cooley, president of the Civic
League, in (Thursday) mornings
Herald:
I believe as Mrs. Cooley does, tina
"the women of North Dakota should
consolidate their own vote and also go
out n gain as many others as they
cam" that the Office of state superin-
tendent of public instruction is an i'm
portant one and hat the women
should cas- heir solid vote at the No
vember election for Miss Nelson for
that office.
Mrs. Cooley says: II was brought
up a strict Democrat, and was taught
that it was a crime for a woman to
vote. At the primaries a short time
ago I threw away those legends and
traditions and asst my first vote on a
Republican ticket for Miss Nelson
and was proud of it,"
In voting for the Office of state SUI
perintendent of schools, and county
superintendent of schools at the re-
cent primary. the ticket I voted was
designated "Non-partisan." This does
not mean the Townley brand Of nom
| pa%rtisanism.
The two Offices referred to above, as
we'll a. those of judges are not con-
sidered political offices, and. by a law
passed several years before the non
partisan faction came into existence,
the candidates for these Offices are
placed on a separate ballot, and called
"Non-partisan."

The advance by the Allies along the
western side OF the salient is described
as extremely important-possibly the
most important thing the Allies have
accomplished since the Germans re-
tired from the Marne.
The importance OF the victory, 1t is
explained. lies in the fact that the

In flank and rear the entire western
gate through which the Germans have
been retiring. This area is q nest Of
German reserves and field artillery.
The capture of the important
ground on the heights to the wester-

Germans will not be able to retire in
an ordinarily leisurely way. and tina
they probably will have to go beyond
