The interpreter prom ptlyreversed the

people and the satisfaction on
the face of the interpreter showed
that he had gotten more than even

CONSIDERATION

London. Aug. 1s.-As the result of
two informal conferences of leading
trades union women. held by the Ma
tional Alliance of Employers and EN-
ployed, it has been decided to place
before a large conference of all wo-
mems societies in the near future pro-
posals embodying the following
points.
That women, while prepared to give
up their present work to returning
soldiers. shall not go back to their
old jobs on the sweated wages that
existed before the war.
That the government should CO.
relate the questions of women's labor.
ixhe conversion of factories to peace
industries, and the distribution Of raw
material in such a way as to make
them interdependent.
That the hours of labor of the wo-
men and the returning men should
be reduced to six. five and four hours
per day, so that all the women and
all the men work half time, and that
as the social system resumed its nor
mai course, and as the women went
back to the prewar industries, the
hours of the men be increased to a
! maximum of eight
That any scheme introduced by the

East Radford, Va, Aug. 19.--Many
high school principals have been
called into the army and many places
in the western part of the state have
been almost stripped of men in high
school work. In consequence of this
large number of women have been
called to the principalship of a num-
Der of the best high schools. Here
tofore, the school boards have hesi-
tated to employ women for these re-
sponsible positions. The women will
prove so successful as high school

ANOTHER STAGE

Another stage OF the White-Largue
election case was announced yester-
day when Judge A. G. Campbell, of
the circuit court, refused to grant the
motion to quash made by respondent
in the madamus proceedings. This
opinion was announced yesterday
morning at the opening OF court. and
Robert II. Anderson was present and
received the order. This effectually
stops proceedings In that direction,
but the court has required an answer
from Mr.. Largue by June 81, which
is Friday, and 1t will be interesting TO
know just what new move will be
made. Judge Kirke Monroe is attorney
for Mr.. Largue, who was given the
certificate of nomination.

When your organization first offered
TO cooperate with us, I had no idea
Of the many fields of usefulness In
which the ladies could be of service
and in every field they have been in
valuable. and the progress we have
made in the organization of the in
tensive campaign that will will safely

the aid of the ladies.

cursions into the country districts, and
I want to say that It is a distinct
patriotic service for any woman to
make a round trip of ninety to one
hundred miles out in the country after
dark.
The younger members of your or
ganization have occupied our Offices
almost continually and diligently
busted themselves in addressing enve-

that was absolutely vital to the sue
cess OF our campaign.
On behalf of our committee. and
speaking as a representative OF the
Treasury Department, l want to ex-
press through you to the Woman's

You have by your intensive canvass
in the resident districts ofthe city

and injected such a degree of new
life and energy into our organization
that we are supremely confident o.

Louise Glaum in San Alien Enemy
Isis Today.

| Louise Glaum, whose reputation as
an emotional actress Of rare talents Is
worldwide, makes her debut as Par
alta star in the seven-reel feature. AN
| Alien Enemy" which will be the at
traction at the Isis theatre for two
days, commencing today. This picture
marks a new epoch in the career of
Miss Glaum, inasmuch as it is the
first to be produced by her own COM
pany of which she herself is the head
, under the executive management of
Paralta Plays, Inc.
The story of IAN Alien Enemy" is
timely and interesting from every view
point, especially since it deals with a
phase of this country's foreign rela-
tons which has been little touched up
on in the past The story deals with
the soul-stirring situation of Neysa
Won Igel," played by Miss Glaum, who
is an American orphan but believes
that she is of German birth. After her
parents death in Germany, "Neysa's"
future is in the hands of the Empire
and she is educated by the Wilhelm
strasse with a view to making her
German in spirit by cultivating her
mind to the strict discipline Of the
Fatherland.
When she is of mature age, she is
sent to America in company with the
very man who is responsible for her
parents death, to wreck her native
country, as a member of the German
Intelligence System.
It is at this point in the story that
Miss Glaum displays her remarkable
emotional talents. In IAN Alien En-
emy:' Miss Glaum is supported by an
excellent cast and the picture is a great
credit to the work of Wallace Wors-
ley. its director, and Monte NJ. Katter-
john, its author.
