ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN WAR WORKERS
OF WAYNE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

1t has been impossible for the gov
eminent to secure enough stenog'
raphers to bring this branch Of the
service up to the requirements, and
the Civil Service Board at Indianapolis
has asked to be permitted to use our
registration cards to procure the
names of stenographers. Why? To
enlist them for free service? No, in
deed. The government wants stenog-
raphers. 1t wants them so badly that
it is paying from 500 to $3.50 more
per year for beginners than ever be-
fore. So here is a practical use Of
this registration already. Uncle Sam
will pay these women well. He needs
them and there must be many who can
serve if they will.
However, women and girls in the
rural districts must not feel that they
have to go into the towns and cities,
into factories and offices in order to
do their share. They are trained for
the things that must be done on the
farms, and there is where they can do
their most effective work.
Provision has been made for getting
help for the men in the fields, but what

be sure to register in order that the
government may know they are alive
to the importance of their bit.

National Prayer Days.

The first time the people of the Unit ed States were called upon to observe day of national prayer was May 9, 179s, by proclamation of President John Adams. A controversy had aris' en between this country and France and all Americans were called upon to pray for q continuation of peace. In 1915, when the United States was about to make war on Algiers, Pres ident Madison proclaimed day of
 prayer. During the Civil war three presidential proclamations were issued appointing days of prayer for peace. In 1865 the authorities called upon the people to pray for Lincoln, and in 1881
 President Arthur proclaimed a day of prayer to mark the burial of President Garfield. In the autumn of 1914 Pres ident Wilson issued his proclamati tion for prayers on "Peace Sundays" ~'

DELICATE SAYS
 CONVENTION IS
 FULL 0F HOT AIR
Would Seek to Amend Lords Prayer, Declares
 RiSOn Man.

Little Rock, Aug. S.-After two hours of earnest discussion Thursday morning the Constitutional Conven- rion, ihy emphatic votes, refused to al- ter Section l9 of the legislative pro- posals, in favor of combining the office of the county treasurer with that of assessor and of collector, and even by q more emphatic vote refused to adopt an amendment offered by Delegate Belote of Hot Spring county abolishing the office altogether The discussion provoked many speeches and led Delegate Foster of Cleveland county in support or an amendment to pay the assessors two- tenths of one per cent on assessments, to declare:
 This body evinces more original ity, more versatility and more pure hot air than any other body that have seen in Arkansas. The minute we get together substitutes and amendments begin to pour in. Why, if the clerk were to read the Lords Prayer there would be five amend ments on his desk before he had read five lines of it. And l am dead sure the Mosaic law couldn't get by with out flood Of amendments and sub stitutes. l know that this is "a digres sion, but as everyone else has stray ed many miles from the subjects un- der consideration, l must do so in or der Tot to feel lonely"
 The Foster amendment was defeat ed by a vote Of 73 to 3.
 Other Measures Offered.
 Delegate Daggett of Lee county then offered substitute for Section 49, which placed the county treasurer on salary of not more than $1 ,0O0 and made him ex-officio assessor with such fees as might be provided by law. MT. Daggett said that his sub- stitute was introduced with an eye to economy and to give, the treasurer some work.
 Delegate Boyce of Jackson county introduced an amendment to the sec tion to combine the county treasurer's office with that of collector. After liberal debate the Daggett substi- tute was defeated by vote of 47 to 30 and the Boyce amendment by vote of 60 to 21.
 Delegate IBelote, who had intrO- duced an amendment to abolish the county treaSurer's office, which amendment had been overlooked when Delegate Moore of Lafayette took the chair, under call was permitted to re- introduce the amendment, which was defeated Joy a vote of 64 to 15.
 Changes in the old constitution were opposed by Judge Evans of Logan county and Delegate Bates of Scott county. Delegate McRae of Me- vada county stated that the old con- stitution was good enough, but also believed it could be changed here and there with advantage.

ShoveIina Out Gas.

Weighing considerably more than the atmosphere, the poisonous gases employed in modern warfare always seek lower levels. Thus the gas clouds penetrate trenches and deep dugouts, and in most eases 1t is a: matter of many hours before they become suffi- ciently diluted with the atmosphere to permit of safe breathing. So the mat ter resolves itself into problem of driving the poisonous fumes out of the trenches and underground shelters, or at least thinning them out until the air is again made safe,
 : For this reason American soldiers now in France literally 'shovel" poi sonous fumes out Of their trenches. Attached to a shovel is. sort of can vas scoop or. "napper" which permits the men to heave the heavy gases over the parapets and beat the fumes and dissipate them in the surrounding air.-Scientif1c American.

as the sweater and terminates in fringe.
 These lovely new sweaters for "la belle savage are made in several col OTIS and their decoration is varied in as many ways as original Indian de- signs allow them to be. They ought to appeal to Young America, and it Is easy to believe that Pocahontas made q creditable appearance at court if she wore a beadtrimmed doeskin garment fashioned on the same lines.
 A quiet sweater coat of silk jersey at the right of the picture lacks the audacity of its rival, but makes up for that in elegance. It is entirely plain and made shapely by shlrrings across the back and wide belt across the front, and will appeal to older women as we'll as to young wearers.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-08-09

An all-American idea has been taken up and is being exploited by the ruanu- facturers of high-class sweaters. It is the introduction of decorations that look like and are inspired by the bead Work and other ornamental work done by American Indians on their gar ments. 1t is odd that this source of inspiration has not been more freely used, because 1t belongs to our cwn country and Is distinctive aud pie turesque.
 Anyone having ( poor opinion of the ornamental beedwork and feather work done by the Indians will gain re- spect for them by looking into the mat ter. In museums there are collections of their headdresses and garments that are surprising. They have lav- lshed patient work on them and their designing and color work are worth studying.
 One of those new sweaters that carry the imagination back to the days of the pioneers Is shown at the left of the picture. Instead of being made of fine doeskin, slashed into fringe at the bottom, 1t is of oyster-white silk, with a deep fringe of silk about the bottom. It Is square-necked, long Shouldered slipoYer, with the arms eye artfully shaped and finished, and there are no sleeves.
 About the neck and down the front what appears at first glance to be a pattern wrought in colored beads is q machine embroidery of small loops or knots. The girdle is of the same silk
