METH0DISTS WILL
HELP WOMEN
OF FRAN CE
COMMITTEE HAS SANCTION OF
POINCARE AND
JOFFRE

PARIS, Feb. %. = Actual work
in the establishment of three gen
eral workshops for the employment
of women and girls whose bread
winners we're killed during the
world war, has been begun by a
committee of religious leaders of
the Methodist Episcopal church in
America. The committee, which
has the sanction of President Poin-
are and Marshal Joffre, will de-
vote $2,5OO,0OO to reconstruction
and reclamation work during this
year.
Among other projects for the re-
lief of the devastated region al
ready started is the purchase of a
site for French orphans at Gren-
oble, which includes a 25O-acre
farm to be used in demonstration
work among French peasants to
teach them the value of modern
methods in farming. The commit
tee also gave to the French Pro-
testant commission $4,000 to be
expended in rehabilitation work
without regard to religious de-
nomination.
France needs so many. many
things that whatever you do will
be of value, particularly in the de-
vastated regions" replied Marshal
Joffre to a question by the relig-
ious leaders as to how the Metho-
dist church in America could best
serve France. when people re-
turn to their former homes in the
devastated areas and see the
frightful destruction that has been
accomplished there" he said,
''they will need not only material,
but also moral assistance. A
great tendency to immortality will
follow the shock of their loss"

PEASANT GIRLS
TO QUIT NATIVE CAPS
PRICE OF HAIR MAY GO
DOWN AS RE-
SUIT

PARIS, March Peasant girls
of France are more than ever
the close-fitting head
gea to which they had to have
their tresses cut. In rural France
there is a widespread movement
for the adoption of the "towny"
style, which. if less picturesque,
makes for the preservation of wo-
mans chief glory.
This fact, coupled with the to-
tai disappearance from the market
of Chinese hair, from which the
cheaper grades of switches" and
tails" used to be made, renders
false hair extremely expensive in
France. There are no more So
called hair fairs in France now

cialist, land natural blond plaits

A clash between Governor Edge of

MEXICO CITY, Feb. %. -
Candidates for election to the
presidency of Mexico are organic
ing and preparing for their cam
paigns, ~usspite a proclamation by
President CarranZa urging that
such action be postponed until the
part of this year.
Only a few political papers
strongly opposed to the govern
ment question the sincerity OF
President Carranza's declaration
that he has no intention of at
tempting to evade the constitu-
tional provision prohibiting one
man from twice serving as presi-
dent by seeking his W re-elec-
tion.
Those most prominently men
toned as candidates for the presi-
dency in 1920 are General Pablo
Gonzales, General Salvador Alva-
RADIO, General Alvaro Obregon and
Attorney Aguirre Berlanga, now
secretary of the interior.
General Alvarado was founder
of the henequen regulation com
mission of Yukatan. He is report
ed to have begun negotiations for
the purchase of a newspaper in
the capital to support his candi-
dacy. 1t is expected that General
Obregon will receive the support

"WAACS" May SOLVE
SERVANT QUESTION
ORGANIZED MOVEMENT START
ED TO EMPLOY WOMEN
IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Feb. %. = The need
of domestic servants is so serious
ly felt in England since the girl
servants became munitions work
ers that Lady Londonderry, who is
president Of the woman's legion,
is heading a well-organized move
ment for the employment as serv-
ants of large numbers of the
women's auxiliary army corps, now
being demobilized. About 5000 Of
the "Waacs'' will be available for
domestic work, it is estimated. 1t
is hoped they will help to relieve
the servant shortage.
1.-THE chief points of the
scheme" Lady Londonderry ex-
planned, "are a minimum wage,
definite leave, interchange of work,
badge and uniform, and a system
of probation.
1--WE thought it best not to at
tempt to establish a stated work
ing day, but two hours leave must
be given every day, four hours on
Sunday, and one-half day a week.
Fourteen days holiday, with wag-
es, must be given each ear.
"All servants sent out by the
legion will consist at first of our
own members, most of whom have
seen three or four years war serv-
ice. At present we are combining
the scheme to servants that live in
homes where they are employed,
but if it proves a success we shall
undertake a similar scheme for
servants living out and for wait
resses and hotel staffs."

measures being hastily rushed

GERMANY SCHAEfER
May COACH IN ST.
SAN FRANCISCO CLUB MAY
EMPLOY NOTED
WIT

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. IS. -
Acting on the conviction that base
ball is in need of more life and
ginger, President Charles Strub of
the San Francisco club of the Pacific
Coast league will attempt to inject
it through the medium of lively
coaching featured with humor. AS
his chief entertainer" Strub is
now trying to secure the services
of Herman Germany Schaefer,
who has a reputation for native
wit exhibited on the coaching
lines. In the event that the serv-
ices of Schaefer are secured he
would not count among the player
limit, as he would be carried as a
coach.
Word received here is to the eff
feet that the Portland club is
angling for a right-handed pitcher
by the name Of Pennington, who is
the property of the St. Louis club.
Pennington pitched in the Inter-
national league for Newark in
1917, and was surpassed in effect
iveness only by Vean Gregg, former
Coast Lacquer, and Bunny Herne.
Manager McCreGie is credited with
doing a lot of quiet scouting about
in an effort to land good men for
his 1919 baseball machine.

~. WASHINGTON, d. c., March A.
The sixty-fifth or great war con-
gre passed into history today
with final taps Of the gavel by
vice-President Marshall and by
Speaker Clark at noon. Failure
of scores of important bills gave
promise of early converting for re-
construction legislation of the new
congress in extraordinary session,
in which control passes from the
democratic party to the republi-
cans.
Unusual scenes of confusion in
the final rush to complete its work
accompanied the closing hours of
congress, in which President Will
son, just back from France, in
his room off the senate chamber,
hastily signed many last-moment
measures.
Stupendous was the record of
the congress, which carried the
nation into and through the war
and which had been in almost con-
tinuous session since it was called
by President Wilson into extraor-
binary session April 2, 1917, to de-
clare war against Germany. 1t APP

authorized about $25, 900, 600, 900 in
bonds and enacted countless meas
ures for prosecuting the war and
of domestic import. The new con-
gress will take up the limitless task
of reconstruction problems, ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty and 9TH
er vital questions, probably imme-
diately after the return of Presi-
dent Wilson from his second visit
to France.
Special features of the sixty-fifth
congress were many addresses by
President Wilson, including those
recommending war with Germany
and Austria, that of Jan. g., 1917,
enunciating his famous IA princi-
pies of peace, and those endorsing
woman suffrage, announcing the
armistice terms imposed upon Ger
many last November and his recent
address detailing accomplishments
of his work at Paris.
There were three sessions of the
congress. The first extra session
met April 2, 1917, following short
