STOP PROFITEERING
 AMONG SOLDIERS
Business Men and Military Officers .&t San Antonio Form Square
 Deal Association.

San Antonio Tex, Oct. 23.-Profit- eering among the thousands of sol- diers at this concentration point has been halted by organization of the Square Deal Association composed of business men and military officers, which fixes prices for soldiers on necessities.
 When San Antonio began filling with soldiers two years ago. the cry went up that eXorbitant prices were being asked by restaurants, hotels, rooming houses and clothiers.
 To offset these conditions, leading merchants called meetings and final ly organized the association. The price-fiNinC board is composed of rep resentatiVc merchants and army of licers and ;N almost every instance 70 far the prices have been estab- HShed in accordance with the wishes Of the military members of the com mittee.
 Fixing of prices that could be charged by hotels and roOming hous- es, which were carefully classified, was the first work of the committee. Then restaurant prices were regulat- ed and later the prices charged by lesser industries were investigated.
 Now it is annOuncd moving picture theaters will reduce their prices, the p cent tickets to be sold to soldiers for 15 cents, and the 30 cent tickets , for 20 cents.

WOMEN IN WAR WORK
Federal Employment Service to Fill Vacancies Caused By Calling Men Into Army Service.

Hartford Oct. 23.-The active and important part to be taken by wo- mon in the United States Employ ment Service in Connecticut has been emphasized by the local superintend- cnts and Federal Director Leo X. Norper Mrs. Joseph ". Alsop of Avon, assistant to the Federal Direc- tor, has met the field forces and ex- plained the aims and activities of the Woman's division, which, in co-oper- ation with the various community la Dor boards, will place a great num- Der of women in both war and non- war work.
 Mrs. Alsop has announced that the executive department of the new em- plOyment division will consist of her. self and Miss Margaret Corwin, sec retary of the womans division of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, and that Miss Dorothy Weir will be the head of the field force. To or ganize the womans division effective 1y throughout the state, Mrs. Alsop has urged the superintendents to rec ommond some woman member of their office force to represent the Woman's division in each United States Employment Service office.
 Mrs. Alsop said that the task be- fore the woman'S division and the community labor boards would con- sist in many cases of replacing male workers with female workers in in dustries, in mercantile establishments and other occupations. Care must be taken she said, that women are not placed in work for which they are unsuited or where shop conditions make the employment of women un- desirable Equal care and good judgment must be shown in deciding individual cases where it might seem inadvisable for a woman to enter in dustry because of family responst- hlities.

Mormon Maid
Gives Expose
of MYSTERIES

MOrmonism, as practiced by the
disciples of Joseph Smith, who
settled in Utah in the late forties,
is the background of the produc-
ton of "A Mormon Maid" in
which Mae Murray is starred,
which is now playing at the
Apollo.
For the first time in the his
tory of photodrama, a vivid por-
trayal of Mormon life, as lived in
those days, is pictured, from the
westward flights of the caravans
of Smiths followers to accurate
picturizations of their strange be-
liefs and customs that caused
them to be prosecuted" as they
called it, in practically every state
in which they settled.
An insight into the practices of
Mormonism is given in the picture
by means of scenes depicting the
covetous pursuit by one of the
elders of the daughter of a pioneer
who has come under the Mormon
influence, after having been saved
from massacre by the Indians.

of the council, and the system

OF BATTLE
Lieut.. w. C. CarswelI Speaks at
Chamber of Commerce.
Mentions Two Topeka Heroes
in the Argonne.

Coming back to the "old home
town" and standing before cheering
business men at the Chamber Of Com
merce was the dream come true" ex
perience of Lieut.. William G. Carswell
today. Bringing with him several
helmets, pistols and trophies taken
from captured German prisoners in
the battle Iof the Argonne i'll France,
Lieutenant Carswell was the attraction
at noon at the Commercial rooms.
After lunch he was forced to speak
to the crowd and answer endless ques-
tons. His tale of experiences with
Topeka's Own" radio company with
the Thirty f1fth-division in their fight
ing against the crack Prussian guards
in the Argonne only a few weeks ago
was one of the most interesting ever
heard at the Chamber of Commerce.
After relating many of the incidents
mentioned in an interview in the State
Journal last evening. Lieutenant Car
wen spoke of two Topeka boys with
the radio company who have been rec
commended for the distinguished serv-
ice medal of honor.
Meade Ward. lad of Is years, so
skinny, Lieutenant Carswen said, that
he had to get a special permit from
Washington to join the army, acted as
runner with a message from the
lieutenant to battery behind the lines
and in five minutes a barrage was let
down in front of the oncoming Ger
mans--a barrage that undoubtedly
saved the lives of hundreds of Yanks
in that battle. Ward went right thru
a rain of shrapne1 to deliver this i'm
portant message to the artillery
Bert Schwi1k, formerly a fireman
mere, loaded up a Ford truck with
wounded and carried them to a hospi-
tai, running thru the midst of fire and
doing a duty that in no way was ex-
pected of him.
Yanks After Souvenirs.
Lieutenant Carswell told of seeing
German prisoners. lads of II and Is.
crying like children coming down the
roads after the ST. Mihiel drive.
Against the Thirty-fifth division in the
Argonne. however, the Kansas boys
had to face the Prussiar guards-all
mature men. They found photo
graphs of the kaiser, of Won linden
burg and of their families in their
pockets.
Lieutenant Carswell tells an anus
ing story of an interview he had with
4 German prisoner.
What is this war about" he asked
the prisoner.
We'll" answered the prisoner, "I
have it figured out this way. Germany
is fighting for her existence, Trance
is trying to run the Germans off her
soil, Belgium Is fighting for revenge,
and England is striving to retain con-
troll of the seas"
What about American" Carswell
The prisoner laughed.
America" he said, lis fighting for
souvenirs"
Lieutenant Carswell leaves in a few
days for Camp Meade, where he will
be an instructor and where he has
been recommended for a captaincy.
