Red Cross. They went daily until
they were skilled in tho art OF hrBt

for the privilege Of learning. They
spent outside time learning 10

well as for refugees of allied coun-

energy they had putting loans and
charity drives over the top. They
went to domestic science lectures
and classes and learned how 10

how to teach others to do the same

for the women who would do
something" either in politics or
business.
Woman fairly shines in the poll
tics OF our west One of the lat
est bits of news of which the suf-
fragets may we'll be proud comes
from Westport, Oregon. Clackamas
county, where Westport is located
claims the youngest woman county
treasurer in the United States and
local political sharps say she is
the only woman to hold such a po-
sition.
Twenty-three-year-old Alberta L.
Dunn is the young woman who has
this distinction. She was first ap-
pointed to fill out her fathers I'M
expired term as county treasurer.
Then she won the Republican nom
ination last May for the same job
and was elected to the post last
November. Her achievements have
been wonderful proof that woman
can make good even in politics de-
spite the theories of many men.
Part of Miss Dunn's campaign
consisted in distributing thousands
of cards bearing her name and
photograph, and reading: Pres
ent incumbent. Experience, Capa-
bility. The only woman candidate
for Clackamas county office"
Miss Dunn's father and prede-
cessor in her present place is NJ.
E. Dunn of Westport She must
file $4,000 bond with the county.
Champion DOughnut Maker.
Since the signing of the armis-
dce a new conflict threatens 10
break out over the question Of what
woman fried the greatest number
of doughnuts a day for distribution
among the American troops who
swept across France into Ger
many.
A strong bid for championship
honors is made on behalf of Miss
Elizabeth Bass, a member of the
National Arts club, New York, now
e canteen worker for the Red Tri-
angle. Single handed she can mix
and fry 5000 dOughnuts a day, and
with assistants can produce TO-
900, according to reports.
Miss Bass ran a cafeteria before
coming to France, consequently her
art of making doughnuts is no hit
or miss affair, but the result of ex-
perience in practicing domestic
science and of careful planning.
In the French village in which
she was stationed she was able to
find and commander an iron vat
Of mammoth proportions. Then she
estimated how great a quantity of
dough she needed to keep the vat
at its full capacity and
proceeded to make it. For the
first few days she turned out only
two or three thousand doughnuts.
Later she produced single handed
!, 900.

Not all Of the women's war jobs
| viii vanish into oblivion with the
days of peace. And many of these
| jobs which will continue will have
no men to return and fill the places
because men never left them. In
other words there are many kinds
of work which women are doing
today which was not done at all
before the war. In such work
there will be no question of tax
ing back the man" and it will be
to such work that women may turn
a soldiers place.
According to Mrs. Herbert Sum-
ner Owen, chairman of the women's
radio corps, radio work will be one
of the most attractive occupations
for women during peace times.
Among those who made good IN
this work during the war were
more than a dozen girls who had
never taken up a serious RESPONSE
bility before.
The women's radio corps Is one
of the unique products of the war.
1t is an organization with but 81
members and with branches in
New York, Boston and Washing
ton. An instruction class was be-
gun at the time the United States
entered the war. The first work
assigned the women was that of
teaching the drafted men the radio
buzzer. They next entered upon
their present duties, which is the
inspection of radio equipment in the
three cities where there is branch.
There are six women stationed in
each city. Their uniforms are
among the smartest and are fash
Toned after the uniforms of the
British flying corps.
Many girls prominent in diplo-
matte circles entered the class and
qualified as instructors. Miss Belle
Baruch, daughter of Bernard Bar
UGH, was one of them.
Mrs. Owen, who Is very enthus-
iastic about her work, believes that
the scientific characters of it will
appeal to many women who like
that sort of thing and who hereto
fore have had no chance to work
along those lines.
A Few Statistics.
Women employees of the Cal
ifornia state printing office have
made 200 pairs of shoes for Belgian
babies from scraps of leather and
corduroy used in book binding.
More than one-half the national
forests in the Oregon Washington
district have made use of the ser
vices of women as lookouts, pa
trolls and in nursery work.
The army of trained women so
urgently needed for the govern
ment's war work will be augmented
by the courses that are being given

tion, called a conference Of leading
business men today to formulate plans
for ending the strike.
The night began. with a ringing of
false alarms and the breaking of store
windows by gangs Of small boys. 1t
rapidly developed into organized
hoodlUmism, which resulted in a
score, of near riots, numerous as
saults and criminal attacks on women.
Flee From Clubs.
The most serious ric. IN the city
proper took place in the west end,
where the mob. constantly swelling,
until it numbered over 5000 Rowling
boys and men, refused to bulge when
charged by the inspectors. Finally, a
big squad of metropolitan park po-
lice, clubs in hand, appeared suddenly
and waded into the front ranks. Then
the mob, which meantime had looted
a dozen small stores, turned and fed,
many of them shouting for mercy.
The loot they had grabbed through
the broken plate glass windows was
dropped in their flight and Uttered
ScoIlay square. In two minutes the
metropolitan park police had cleared
the square, but a few minutes later
the park policemen vanished as sud
denly as they had appeared, and the
hoodlums again formed into a gang.
