WOMAN'S INDUSTRIAL
 ARMY IS ORGANIZED

brand new army has been organ ized-the Women's Industrial Army of the United States. 1t is to be station ed in divisions Of from one to three thousand women at each of twenty two munitions cantonments being built by the government and a recreation program for these women workers is being planned by the Y. w. c. A. War Work Council at the request of the woman's branch of the industrial ser vice section of the ordnance depart ment of the War Department.
 Miss Erenstine Friedman, head of the industrial department of the War Work Council, is in charge of the work.
 Thousands of women will be em- ployed in these new industrial centers which are scattered throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia. West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee and Ohio. Some are ready fer work now, others will be completed in July and August and from the finished ones comes the cry for recreation and for all sorts of services, even to the establishment of shampoo parlcrs as the picric acid used in munitions affects the workers hair. And the Y. w. C. A. is to an swer the call.
 It was at Williamsburg, Va. where the DuPont Company is building a plant fer the government for S1 .OO that the call came for shampoo parlors. Miss Jeanette Campbell was sent there by the Y. w. c. A. to organize an In- dustrial War Service Club. One hun dred women were employed there, now there are 1000.
 The workers come from all walks of life. There are college girls. musi- cians, teachers, office girls. factory glris' old women and young women. They live in large dcrmitories.
 It is to meet these conditions. to keep women content, well and healthy that the Y. W. c. A. has been asked by 4 Miss Mary Van Kleck. head of the women's branch of the ordnance de- pertinent to take charge of recreation al work in these newly created war cities.
 The recreation program is to organ ize Industrial Service clubs in build- ings already up or when necessary to build clubhcuses which will have rest
  rooms with comfortable chairs. cots. books, gymnasiums for military drill under army officers when possible. for basketball. folk dancing and sema phore work. Community parties will be organized, picnics, hikes, athletic games, swimming. Red Cross work. Recreation will also be provided for rest periods in factories When the plant does not operate a cafeteria. the Y. W. C. A. will do so. Club members will adopt this pledge: Tt is my desire to serve to the best Of my capacity in the ranks of the wom- ems Industrial Army, a Second Line of Defense l pledge my loyalty to my country and I pledge to express : loyalty by promoting in every way -ossihle the spirit of service and good will in my work and community"

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
 DRAW PAY IN NEW
 FASHION HEREAFTER

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN FRANCE, June 20. (Correspon- dence of The Associated Press) )-Ev- cry American soldier in France will receive bank book" enabling him to draw S750 a month from any dis bursing officer, if the change in pay methods of the American Expedition ary Force now under consideration is put into effect. The purpose is to en- able every soldier to obtain promptly at least part Of his monthly pay re- gardless of where he may be, whether in a hospital or with some organiza- ton other than his own.
 The pay book" system is in use in the British army. Tine sum of S7.50 a month has been fixed as the minimum which a soldier should have for his personal wants every month and it would be given to him on his demand.
 Each three or four months there would be a general accounting, at which his total pay, his insurance and ether allotments, his liberty loan sub sGripticns and other items would be cast up, together with his monthly drafts. The balance then due him would be put at his disposal.
 The soldier would have the advan- tage of being able at all times and under all circumstances to draw some thing from any quartermaster in whose district he might find himself.
 The proposed system would elimi- nate the present necessity of having on hand each soldiers service record whenever he draws any money. The service record system. designed for times Of peace, does not take into ac- count the frequent shifts which all men must be prepared for. In many instances nowadays it works on individual men who are transferred faster than their service records can follow them and who cen seQuently cannot draw their money when it is due, merely because the for malities cannot be complied with.
 The proposed new system appeals as specially advantageous for camps where there are constantly large num- lers of "casuais strays belonging 10 iozens and scores Of organizations waiting to join their outfits yet unable c draw what money is due them until he service records have caught up Co hem.

Man of 91 Years
 Breaks Bad Ones
 Ropes WiLd COu

Matt Crosby of Ocate. N. M has the distinction of being the oldest cowboy in active service in the United States. He recently cele- brated the ninety-first anniversary of his birth by breaking a wild young horse just off the range On the same day he roped and tied a S-year-old steer in little more than four minutes. which was bret ty quick work considering his age. the ranch boys there say.
 Crosby attended the annual cow boys reunion which was held at East Las Vegas a few days ago. He spent most of the day in the saddle and had a high old time" as he expressed it.
 No living or dead cowboy in the Southwest ever went through the experiences that have fallen to the lot of Crosby. While he is reticent as to his early life, it is known that he has been riding the range in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona for more than sixty years. He is known to every old time ranchman from the Mexican border to the Colorado and Kansas lines. Many were the times that he went up the long trail" driving thousands of head of longhorns, in the days before the railroads had penetrat- ed the cattle country.
 Crosby ranched for himself for a good many years in the vicinity of Springer. While there he originat- ed a breed of horses called the Ace of Clubs" which is still noted throughout the Southwest. In the days of Apache raids and outrages Crosby lent valuable aid to the American soldiers who hunted down the renegade Indians. He knew every trail through the mountains and across the desert wastes. He was famous even in those times for his expert use Of pistol and rifle. He has lost none of his shooting prowess with age. He has hunted bear and other big wild game of the mountains of the Southwest, and occasionally dab bled in mining.
 Notwithstanding his 91 years, Crosby is still able to take a full hand in ranch work.
