SMILEAGE GOOD IN
PORTO RICAN CAMP

Smileage is now good in one theater
outside the United States, proper. This
is the Liberty Theater, apened a few
days ago at Camp Las Casas. Porto
Rico, by the War Department commits
sion on training camp activities for
the native. soldiers OF the national
army there-the first one to be erected
by the training camp commission out
side of the boundaries proper Of this
country.
Unlike the Liberty theaters in the
United states, the one at Las casas Is
an open-air structure, with the audi
torium lying under more than a score
of great palms, making it pleasant
even in that climate for matinee as
well as evening performances. The
stage is seyenty-two feet long and
thirty feet deep, being adequate for
any demands likely to be made upon
it. The orchestra, or band. is hidden
in "a very modern pit with dropNlights
in place. The theater accommodates
1000 persons.
In his formal opening address, Brig.
Gen. z. R. Chisman, commanding at
Las Casas, said:
This theater represents part Of the
progress through which 1 hope to be
able to crafty the greatest ambition
a man can have, that is. to take the
Porto Rican brigade to France"

SPECIAL COURSES
FORLABOR EXPERTS

The value of training courses fo-

Melville La Marche, a special repre-
sentative of the United Employment
Service, who was sent to take the
first course offered at Rochester
University. As one of the earliest
graduates he gives the following
summary of the Government train
ing courses and their benefits. M

MUST PROTECT WOMEN

One firm, which employs POS wom-
en-, presented an interesting comment
when asked by the national industrial
conference board regarding the ad-
visibility of the further employment
OF women in industry.
THE future OF the race depends alb
solutely upon the moral strength of
the women, and il the employer OF
labor is not OF the caliber that builds
this moral strength. there is great
danger in the employment OF women"
wrote an executive of this firm.
Most employers, the board felt, di-
rected altogether too much considera-
ton to the economic aspect of wom-
ems employment, which they found
profitable. than to anything else.
