! A typical woman of today" is
! Miss Helen ,Christene Hoerle. She
has done many things which young
girls of today dream of doing and
wish they could do sometime" Her
most recent achievement has been
successfully managing theatre
company on Broadway. Now to be
a successful manager of theatrical
company is by no means an an
heard of thing, but it is very un-
usual for a woman to hold that po-
sition. At present Miss Hoerle is
the only woman along Broadway
who is managing a company. She Is
not satisfied with merely managing
either. for she is also acting as
publicity director for the show.
When I asked Miss Hoerle to tell
me something of her work she said
that she was intensely interested in
Jobs for women. She has during the
past few years even written a book
on the subject which has taken up
her odd moments (although where
so busy a woman found odd mo-
ments was beyond me.) Her book is
for use in schools and she express
ed the hope that it would assist
girls in choosing a career.
Miss Hoerle also told me how she
started writing short stories SIX
years ago and then drifted INTO
scenario work. She has been work
ing in the scenario departments of
many of the we'll known film con-
Germs for the past three years and
from that work she drifted into ad-
vance publicity work It'was while
doing advance work for a company
that she was given the opportunity
to manage il.
l think her last statement to me
would be a fitting inscription Tor
many of the diplomas which are be-
ing handed out this month:
ANY woman or girl can do what
I've done. I'm not a protege or
genius. but 1t simply taxes courage
to do-and not to quit at anything"
All women between the ages of
Is and IS years living in the city
Of Pskov. Russia. have been order
ed by the so-called Bolshevist gov
eminent in Esthonia to register
with a view of having to do mill
tary duty.
One of the youngest Victory
loan speakers was Loretta Daum,
aged 10 years, of Milwaukee. Wis.
She received a four-minute speak
er's certificate for efforts which it
is claimed brought in several thou

bonds.

Prominent women throughout
the country are uniting in an effort
to raise funds for the erection of a
national victory memorial building
in Washington. The George Wash
ington Memorial association seems
to be the originator of the plan.
Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, who is
president of the association, has
already received a letter from Pres
ident Wilson giving his sanction.
Mrs. Philip n. Moore of St. Louis,
| Mo, president of the national coun-
Gil of women, is also prominent in
| the campaign. The women have
undertaken a huge project, but
have already received subscriptions
! for almost 100000. They are
| trying to raise S9,O0O,0 900 by popu-
| lar subscription. Congress has al
ready approved the plan by setting
aside a site in the Mall for the
| proposed building and al hough it
is intended primarily for a memoir
| ial, the building will have a decid-
eddy practical value. 1t is planned
to furnish an auditorium for ma
! tional gatherings such as the CAPT
tai so seriously needs. The drive
will be officially opened June %.
This idea of erecting public
buildings, especially libeI al arts
buildings, for the benefit of the
great masses is a most fitting one
to immortaliZe the deeds of our
brave heroes. and it is noted with
D
but many states. cities and even
private organizat.o are favoring
this kind of memorial.
