Cops Fear Worst
When Scream and
Cunning Is Heard

Thoughts of brutal killing. a kid
mapping, or what not, filled the mind
OF Patrolmen Victor and Branson
last night as they sped with all the
haste they could muster to a point
near 1851 Market street.
At 11:45 a report came to police
headquarters that woman had been
heard to scream, and that mingled
with this eerie cry was the resonant
bang of a pistol shot.
A thorough investigation in the
neighborhood failed to disclose any
of the gruesome things that the po-
lice had feared. They do not believe,
however, that the cry and pistol shot
were inspired by any pranks of young
sters.

Occupational Therapy Is
Taught to Volunteers
By the National League
For Woman's Service
N OPPORTUNITY for service

4 N OPPORTUNITY for service
N is offered to women as in
structors in occupational ther-
apy under the direction Of the Ma
tional League for Woman's Service.
The league maintains a school for
volunteer occupational workers at it's
national headquarters, II East
Forty-frst Street, where fall and
winter classes have been formed.
Departments Of occupational ther-
apy introduced at the Vanderbilt
clinic and the Home for 1ncurables
have proved so successful that many
other institutions have requested the
establishment of classes by volunteer
women workers.
At the Home for Incurables a
former sailor whose lower limbs
are paralyzed has made and sold
more than one hundred netted shop
ping bags during the summer
months.
For the man or woman with the
use of only one hand, rake knitting
offers a means of amusement and
material gain. For those artisti-
cally inclined, there is clay modelling,
beadwork and painting. Attractive
bead necklaces and pendants are
made of self-hardening clay, dec
Grated with water colors and shell
lacked. These articles bring prices
consistent with handwork and origi-
nal design.
Women interested in taking up
this field of service are urged to
communicate with the league at the
earliest possible date. The demand
for trained volunteers is practically
unlimited, the course necessary for
complete training is short one, and
any woman who has been actively
engaged in war work is no doubt
qualified to become an instructor.

Part of Exhibit
In Church

In the church on Second Avenue
are charts, pictures, manikins and
statistical tables on alcoholic facts.
Much of the information con-
tanned in these charts is absolutely
rev to the cosmopolitan East Slider.
But, according to Miss Wills, the
East Side is following the trend Of
the times and is not nearly so far
behind as are some other parts Of
New York City.
One exhibit in particular appeals
to children. 1t shows a neat little
two-story house which was bought
supposedly with the savings of a
man who lived in prohibition terri
tory and who put aside 81 a week
for stated number Of years in
order to pay for this house.

Adapted to
Environments

Without question, the Social
Unit plan would have to be adapted
to meet different circumstances of
population and environment, but it
is plan within which there is room
for modification. 1t has made its
chief demonstration in public
health and produced notable re-
suits. Whether results of similar
significance could be achieved in,
say, Americanization or education
or recreation is still to be proven.
cat any rate, the Social Unit has
suggested a clear-cut type of or
ganization. Many of US hope that
a demonstration will be undertaken
in New York under Community
Councils-that this will be one of
the tangible results Of this alliance.
Community organization is one
movement which it seems to me
ought to challenge the attention of
every thoughtful person. | feel that
it has been demonstrated in the last
six months that old-fashioned social
service methods are not capable of
meeting the desire of people for eff
ficient and genuine democracy.
"We need vitality in New York City
right now to develop a mechanism
through which natural human re-
sources can be used for the common
good. The Community Councils and
the Social Unit Organization offer a
program. They provide a medium
through which the common man can
come to basic understanding of the
way in which public services are ad-
ministered in this city, So that any
changes which he might want to sug-
gest in the administration of such
services are made on the basis Of
understanding.

vice Work Fails to An
swer Need, She Says

(IH AM more pleased than i can
say that the Community
Councils of Greater New
York and the National Social Unit
Organization have come together to
promote jointly community organi-
zation in New York City," said Mrs.
Charles L. Tiffany last week. "I
have been a member of the execu-
tive committee of Community Coun-
ellis for some time and l have also
been the chairman of the promoting
body for the National Social Unit
Organization: From the beginning I
have felt that the two organizations
had much to contribute to each
other.
"The Community Councils opened
up the territory in New York, es-
tablished the need for community
organization and interested many
groups Of people.
"On the other hand, the Social
Unit, by confining its efforts to one
district (the Mohawk Brighton Dis
trict of Cincinnati), has worked
out sustained, carefully measured
plan, getting the best available ad-
vice and basing it's efforts on all
, available experience for working
out what is, in my opinion, the most
sensible, complete, reproducible type
of community organization in the
country

Woman Voters
Interest

II am interested in this as a
woman voter. We are aware that
much of our legislation is based upon
superficial knowledge of the needs
which it is supposed to fill, and until
we get unit organization embracing
the whole population we are never
going to know what those needs ar,
and we are going to have useless
legislation and ineffective use of
public funds and an unappreciativo
mind on the part of the public.
IL see the real purpose OF the So
cial Unit and Community Councils as
that Of making government real and
making it possible for the citizens to
bring about changes in an orderly
fashion. When we reach this state
we will not need to fear revolution.
Community organization seems
to offer an immediate constructive
answer to these problems.

XIII ROHIBITION is here for
the foreign born as we'll

them to obey the law if they know
something about the effects of
alcohol"
So says Miss Edith M. Wills
Field Secretary and Director of
Exhibits of the Scientific Tenn
perance Federation. Under the
auspices of the World League
Against Alcoholism, she has opened
a temperance exhibit at the Second
Avenue Baptist Church, Second
Avenue and Ninth Street.
Miss Wills's exhibit is in a neigh.
borhood where live Russians, Ital-
ians, Poles, aLithuanians and Jugo-
Slavs.
For the most part, they are un-
familiar with facts on prohibition
their newspapers having simply told
them that the 18th Amendment had
become the law of the land.
Miss Wills, with her exhibit, at
tempts to tell them few of the
fundamental, scientific facts which
she has cleaned from medical au-
thorities, statisticians, actuary de-
partments of big life insurance
companies and other sources.
Moving Picture
Exhibits
The first thing she did when she
opened her exhibit was to set up q
stereomotograph machine, a minia-
ture moving picture apparatus, in a
large window in such a way as te
throw a series of pictures on a
screen.
The stereomotograph first flashes
en- the screen a picture of rail
road accident, with this statement
beneath: ''T'wo fingers of red
liquor can turn $10,OOO,OOO safety
block signal into a $10,00O,O0O loss
of money" The machine clicks and
chart is flashed on the screen
stating that as a result of investi-
cation it has been ascertained that
insured drunkards have three and
one-half times as many small acci.
dents as the average insured
worker.

Kitchen Work
On a Large Scale

1T was the organization of the
women of Belgium, together with
the philosophy Of Belgium, that
made the work possible. 1t was done
through the organization of school
staffs. Those children who were in
school were cared for by their
teachers, assisted by volunteer
women, and it was a wonderful
thing for them to do, for it was
nothing but kitchenwork. The re-
suit was that on the day of the ar
mistice the undernourishment was
below that of the pre-war period.
eve felt that the conservation
of child life in the war area was
the most important service we could
perform. There is still need to care
for about 100000 children, and
there will be need to care for a
larger percentage over the winter.
eve have in this country in our
schools a large amount of under
nourishment. The undernourish-
ment here is, however, more than
half due to the ignorance of par
ents. 1t is not financial ques-
ton, but is simply sheer ignorance
as to the character Of the food re-
quired by child life.

&y OOICAo
II do not believe that among the
children in small town life and in
the agricultural centers, so per cent
of our children, there is much under
feeding. In our large cities the un-
derfeeding is due largely to the
shortage of necessary food supplies
in the homes, and that is why l be-
lieve in the feeding of children in
the schools. That is the only rem
edy, because it is impossible to go
into the home and undertake to in
struct every mother.

dizing unless we prepare to show that
we have a social philosophy Of our
own which is real substitute.

Jean Norris Addresses the
League of Advertising
Women on Her Work
as a City Magistrate
Shoplifting Is Common
Finger Prints, Physical Ex-
animation and Probation
Inquiries Aid Decision

TEAN NORRIS, New York's first
ID woman magistrate, addressed
last weeks meeting of the
League of Advertising Women on
Wednesday noon at the RENDEZVOUS.
The subject of her speech was her
work as judge in the women's day
, court.
A petition has been circulated
recently among the women's clubs
of New York City indorsing Judge
Norris's work, and asking that her
position be made permanent by the
Mayor.
The ''Experinent"
In Larceny
"ShQplifting is the charge against
many Of the women brought into
court at this time of year," said
Judge Norris. "Petty larceny is the
technical term for it. The women
are brought to the women's court
and given a preliminary hearing.
Then later they are sent to the Court
of General Sessions. In the pre-
liminary hearing of one of the cases
recently the defendant was all old
lady. She insisted upon this hear
ing. She said that she had Shop
lifted simply as an experiment. She
had read about how easy it was
and wanted to see whether she could
carry anything away. She would
have come back the next day and
paid for the articles, she said-that
is, if she had not been caught"
The other cases Judge Norris ham
dies are those of incorrigible girls
and women. The charges against
the women are usually for lettering
or soliciting.
Three Checks
On Defendants
"The number Of young women
brought into court on these charges
is awful" said Judge Norris. "In
handling case of this kind there is
time given for finger print record
to be taken, a physical examination
to be made and a report secured
on the woman's family. There comes
through these Investigations suffi-
cient information to enable me to
know enough about the case to rem
der a fair Judgment.
"Many Of the cases that have come
before me are those of drug addicts,"
continued Judge Norris. "These
cases have to be specially handled
and hospital attention often has to
precede the actual hearing of the
case"
Judge Norris is president of the
National Association of Women
Lawyers. She has recently accepted
the presidency of the New York
State Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs.
