AMERICANS SAVED. BY A B0LSHEvIK
 HUSKY" MASCOT

With American Forces in Northern Russia Dec. 16-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) A white husky dog, apparently the mascot of a Bolshevist regiment, recently saved an American company from an ambush in the bushwhacking war, near Kadish. The Americans had large rear guard outpost a mile be- hind the town, and the Bolshevists. heavily reinforced and with consid- erable artillery, began shelling the American positions. The Americans repulsed all attacks and were keenly watching the swamps bordering the road in their rear.
 One afternoon sentinel of the rear guard, who had participated in previous engagements, during which a white husky" dog appeared with the Boshevist forces, saw thel dog in the woods. His warning, followed by a bit of scouting, led to the discov- cry that the Bolshevists were moving through the swamps to cut off the Americans in the rear at the Petro- grad road. The troops were able to 
 withd in the darkness to the posi- tions behind a bridge over the Emtsa river
 The battles around Kadish have been the most stubborn and difficult that the Americans have had in Russia up to this time. In their ad- vance beyond the town they were constantly harassed by bushwhacking parties appearing simultaneously in their rear and on both Hanks in the swamps.
 The original crossing of the Emtsa | river, in the direction of the town, was attempted three times by the Americans, with considerable losses, | before 1t was finally accomplished. Difficulties of moving transport trains of little Russian peasant carts over the swampy roads have led to many hardships, including shorta ge of rations. At one time. miles from his medical equipment, the American surgeon was forced to amputate the leg of wounded man with pen l knife.

NEW HATS.

The tendency in the new hats seems to be toward grace and pictur- sequences. Shapes are larger, brims drop in supple fashion, trim mings are set low and usually toward the side or back of the hat If one wants dash and daring there is plenty of both in the new oriental turbans which slant one way or another on the head and which are made of silky-soft straws wound and draped in combination with rich hued silks.
 Four-cornered turbans of straw are taking little affairs. One of these from a French house is of dull blue straw, the brim turned up against the crown in four places, making four points in the outline of the bar. The edge of the brim is finished with black jet beads and where the four corners meet on the crown there is a big jet tassel. White hats for south land wear are of fine milan with white ribbon-bound edge turned up in the quai'r-corne effect and a cocade or cabuchon of pleated white ribbon at one side. There are tricornes in the same style and these dashing lit tie hats will certainly be great favor ites, for tricones and quat'r-cornes In smart tailored style are always be- coming and look especially we'll with a tailored summer costume.
 Some of the French couttirieres are bringing out a number of quaint di- rectoire shapes with big crowns and brims much wider at the front than at the back, and the trimming usually posed low at one side.

EQUALITY OF EMPL LOYMENT GRANTED
 TO BRITISH WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
Reconstruction Will Not Be Used As Excuse to Use
 Women As Means of Lowering Wages; Their Claims Will Be Held Next to Those of Soldiers and Sailors.

invited with urgency they should now resume the condition of helots. Such restrictions on their employment, she declared were artificial. unjust and disgraceful to civilized community.
 The present conditions of women's employment, Lady Rhondda asserted, prevent them from being utilized in the national interest. Women were not consulted in the arrangements for the reconstruction of industry She pointed out that while the gov ernment was bound by it's agreement with trade unions, there are many shops which had sprung up during the war in which the governments bar gain with trade unions would not operate to exclude women from em- ployment. Women, she declared are not seeking in industry a renewal of strife but a clear grant to them of their rights as human beings and free dom of employment. They recognize, she added, that their claim comes af- ter the claims of the sailors and sol diers in the war.
 "Women know that in some of the occupations in which they have serv- ed during the war they have been only a makeshift by reason of inferior strength" Lady Rhondda admitted, "and in the long run women must be excluded from such by the ordinary rules of economy. With these reser- vations, women claim unrestricted liberty to be engaged in any indus trial employment, provided only that they receive the same pay as men dc for equal output They claim the opportunity of being trained in the most efficient way and particularly the provision of women instructors or work in which women have proved more successful than men. They claim the same opportunities as mer for promotion, representation on gov ernment committees and all public bodies and facilities of education il schools and universities that will en able them to qualify equally with men in all suitable trades end profes sions"

SCARLET POLICE
 WILL RIDE AGAIN
To Reorganize Canada's Famous Northwest Mount
 ed Force At Once.

Regina, sask., Jan. f..--Canada's
 Scarlet Riders, the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, who left the Domin- ion to distinguish themselves on the battle fields of France, are to be re- organized on a pre-war basis, gov ernment officials announce.
 Squadrons of the famous riders who for years have patrolIed the prairies, mountains, forests and arctic waters of Canada, will be returned from overseas and permitted to rejoin their old force, which will be recruited to a strength of 1 200 men.
 Regina will continue to be general headquarters and the territory po- poice will extend from Port Arthur to British Columbia and far into the vast stretches of the No Mans Land of the North. District headquarters will be re-established at Winnipeg, Regina, Prince Albert, Lethbridge, Edmonton, Vancouver and Dawson. Outposts will be established at Mac lead, Battleford, Maple Creek and Peace river.
 As the war went on members of the famous band who had faced death innumerable times by daring dashes into the wildernss after criminals, one by one dropped until the organization had all but disbanded Official re- ports have shown that they continued their intrepid exploits in the war zone.
 Government officials have said that the history of the Scarlet Riders is also the history of law and order in the Canadian Northwest. The proud claim Is made that these horsemen have never failed to account for a criminal after once taking the trail It has not always been possible to bring back the man alive, however, and in each of these cases a formal | notation is made telling where the body is buried
 Records at headquarters, which teem with thrilling adventures, show single officer rode into the northern wilderness, used dog teams to pene- trate still farther, and then "mushed" i (walkedD to his destination to arrest an Indian or Eskimo who had killed white man or tribesman Now and then a fugitive shot first and with true aim.
 But official records show that no criminal who murdered an officer ever escaped vengeance of that officers comrades.

London, Jan. 17-(Correspondence

London, Jan. 17-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-No dis crimination is to be made against women in British industry, Premier Lloyd George declares in a letter ad- dressed to Lady Rhondda, president of the Womens Industrial League, who had submitted to him a memor- ial setting forth the claims of wom- en to freedom of employment.
 After the pledges made by the gov ernment to the trade unions have been fulfilled, wrote MT. Lloyd George scope In peace pursuits. He sup ports the principle of "equal pay for equal output" and promises full op- portunity for women in training and education.
 "In those industrial occupations in which women were enegaged before the war" the Premier added, "op- portunities of every sort will be open ed up for every class of women work CT, and I believe that the real work ing representatives of organized la bor may be trusted when the time comes to see the necessity of utilizing in the interests of production and to the best advantage, every class of worker available"
 Regarding payment, he says: 'fTo permit women to be the catspaw for reducing the level of wages is un- thinkable. It Is not desired by en- frightened employers, to whom good production and uniform wages are desirable; cutting of wages, with its consequent instability, is not at any time either in their interest or ill that of the nation"
 Lady Rhondda urged in her memor- ial that artificial restrictions on the employment of women in industries should be removed, not only as mea- sure of justice to the sex, but In the interests Of national industrial eff ciency. She asserted that it was now threatened to withdraw even the 'im- perfect toleration" that was extended to women during the war and that in the industries into which they were

THE WISDOM OF FRANKLIN

This is the birthday of Benjamin Franklin, and, while it is not so gen orally observed as the natal days Of some of the other great men of the period in which he lived, it will not be permitted to pass unnotced' Printers and philosophers join in honoring the memory of the many sided Franklin, and he is now honor ed almost as much in England and France as in America.
 Franklin wrote not for a day, but for all time, and most of his Sayings of Poor Richard" are just as applica- ble today as when they were written Dipping into this treasure of homely wisdom, one finds such gems as these:
 You may be too cunning for One, but not for All.

KERENSKY NOW
 LIVES IN QUIET

London, Jan. 17-AIexander Keren- sky, former dictator of Russia, is liv- ing quietly in the home of & friend on Cambridge Stairs terrace, by Re- gent Park, in London.
 In his study, which he occupies a large part of the day. he is prepar- ing bis memoirs, re-reading and re- studying documents which once repre- scented the destiny of Russia, and dic- tating to his Russian stenographer. who can write shorthand in four lan- guages.
 Kerensky has just finished a book on the Korniloff mutiny. Once every day he walks alone through the wind ing, graveled paths of Regent Park, just across the road.
 He likes music, plays the piano fairly well and sings. He knows by heart an enormous volume of Rus sian vocal music. Often he sits at the piano in the little parlor on the second story and sings through one Russian master after another.
 Sometimes he stops singing to think of his wife and two little boys, host ages in Moscow, imprisoned by the Bolsheviki soon after the great de- bacle, and later released from prison when Mrs Kerensky signed a pledge they would not leave Russia.
 Kerensky was a lawyer before the revolution. His is still interested in law, and devotes part of his time to legal questions.
 He is a man of remarkable person. ality. He has smile that wins you at first meeting, a real, friendly-like smile that convlnces you right away he is interested in you. He is direct and unaffected. He talks immediately to the point, like an American busi- ness man, without flourish.
