anything like this said Assistant
United States Attorney Ralph Given, in
announcing to two young women,
''pinched" during the Halloween cele-
bration last night for being so CARRIED,
that no charges had been preferred
against them and directing that their
collateral be returned.
Two other young women, taken into
custody early last evening for the same
offense, spent the night at the house of
detention. The others, arrested on a
street car because they were similarly
clothed in Army uniforms, were re-
leased at o'clock this morning.
Miss Mary Andrews, war worker re-
siding at 1417 Park road. and Miss Helen

night at the house of detention. The
two released in the early morning hours
were Miss Mary Eva Nichols, seventeen
years old. 464 X street northwest, and
Miss Drusilla Carrie Nichols, nineteen,
