wife Of the Superintendent of Schools

created by her speech for woman
suffrage at the last. Democratic state
convention. It was referred to in
the Minneapolis papers as a "Cross
of Gold" speech, and brought the
Democrats to their feet in a. rising

charged with "hampering the war;

Now the operators are unkind

the danger of every one in these the

1t held its position for long time
and at night poured Its stream of fire

THE same idea Is carried out by
the American camoufieurs, who model
dummy men and guns for decoys. The

! American women camoufleurs are
being trained according to the same
method as the men, under the Wom-

under Lieutenant Towle. Discussing
their work, he said:

women shouldn't do as well as the
men as camoufieurs-that Is, in MAX

Towle to try out their camouflage suits
and be photographed, wearing them, in
different positions, to see that they
blend with different colors of the land
scape and would be invisible to the

on the plates of the enemy photog-

This is the most serious work that
has been undertaken under the au-

are about 40, confidently expect to

French women are already busy.
They will not be accepted by the
government as regular workers and

completed their training and shown
that they have made good, but the fact
that Lieutenant Towle is on leave in
