Don't Create New Places-A Place
Exists for Every Woman,


Exists for Every Woman.
More than year has passed since
the congress of the United States was
forced to declare war against Ger
many. 1t is year since the Council
of National Defense appointed the
Women's Committee and the time is
fully ripe for every woman to decide
that her duty, in this time of trial,
calls her to the service of her coun-
try.
This applies not only to those who,
through existing associations, are unit
ed in the work of the state divisions
of the Women's Committe and their
local units, but to every woman,
whether a member of an existing or
ganization or not.
The present is not the time to form
new societies for work. Multiplicity
Of organizations, whose work is sim
liar and whose chief difference is in
name, tends to confuse rather than
to carry forward efficiently the work
which the government requires Of
women.
The Womens Committee cannot
urge too strongly the unwisdom of
encouraging new associations for
war work. The best way to coun-
teract the tendency for duplication is
for each woman to find a place i'm
some body which is already engaged
in the line Of service that appeals
tC her and for which she is fitted. If
for any reason such a course is i'm
possible, let her act directly in CO.
operation with the nearest unit of the
Women's Comittee, which is the
only authorized governmental agency
for the coordination of all women's
organizations doing war work.
1t was to prevent the multiplied
ton of societies and to make woman's
work more efficient through coopera-
ton that the Council of National De-
fense appointed the Women's Com
mittee, which became the only chan
mel through which all departments of
the federal government and the va
rious war commissions can reach all
women's organizations and the indi-
vidual, and the only means by which
all women throughout the nation may
be kept i'm touch with the activities
Of all government departments for
war work
The duty Of the hour is to make
this existing agency effective, not to
create new machinery.
No woman who is able to render
any form Of service is blameless il
she is neither preparing herself for
active work nor has placed herself at
her country's call
The war waits for no one There is
an increasing demand for real work

ANUS EM,ENTs.
At the Strand.

Empty Pockets" perturbation Of
the story by Rupert Hughes, is the
current attraction at the Strand. It is
mystery story Of New Yorix's slums
and palaces. and will be enjoyed espe-
Clally by those who have read the
story. The play has plenty of rapid
action, many tense situations and a
gripping interest that holds the atten-
ton Of the spectator to the final solu-
ton of the mystery.
The story deals with the finding on
the roof OF an east side tenement Of
the body OF Perry Merithew. q mil
lionaire man about town. There are
but two clues to the murderer In tho
murdered mans hand is grasped
strand OF woman's copper-colored
hair, while lying close to the body is
an amethyst hat pin. Subsequent
events quickly involve in the mystery
several red-haired women who move
In widely separated circles. They are
Muriel Schuyler, a bankers daughter:
Maryla Sokalska, Jewish sweat-shop
worker: Red Ida" Ganley, pickpocket
and wife Of an east side gunman; pet"
Bethany, who lives by her wits; and
Aphra Shaler. who cries money out Of
mems pockets. The development OF
the plot makes really an absorbing
story.
There is no star. but the cast which
is thoroughly good. is headed by Bert
Lytell, Barbara Castleton. Kitty Ga
lenta, sSusanne Villa, and Malcolm
Williams.

Eighteen months ago Ira Glenn.

Glen, alias Robert S. Glenn, gave
Thomas II. Thibodeau Of Missoula
a worthless $500 check in cN
change for a Dodge roadster.
The dodge succeeded, Glenn
lodged with the Dodge, and dis
appeared.
Yesterday at the request of Sher-
iff J. T. Green. the police in Ness
City. Kan, arrestedSa man who is
believed to be the missing Ira
Glenn. They will hold him until
his identity may be established
and Sheriff Green can take charge
Of him.
Glenn managed hissdsa ppearance
cleveriy. Though r. j.. Whitaker,
then sheriff. of Missoula county,
used every known means to trace
the thief. his tracks could not be
found
But eileen took a chance after
more than a year had passed. He
applied to a surety company for
bond and referred the company to
men who had since heard of the
Dodge affair. These men COM
municated with Sheriff Green and
Glenn was detected.
At the time of the worthless
check episode Glenn had been
working as a ranch hand for Paul
Greenough OF. the Blackfoot valley
for nearly two years. His reputa-
ton here had been good.

Recalls Rebellion.

Miss Sanford was Is years old when
the civil war broke out and bears a
keen recollection of those stirring
times. Answering a question as 10 the
effect of war on the people then as
compared with the present turmoil,
she said
The public tension was much great

Then 1t was a question as to whether
or not We had country. Many times
during those bloody four years we
didn't know whether the government

that General Grant be withdrawn from
