RAIN CAUSES MUCH
DAMAGE TO MOLINE

Last nights rain will cost Mo-
line several hundred dollars in
cleaning and will cost property
owners an equal amount. The
rain storm ruined sidewalks and
terraces. Practically all the ave-
nues at the foot of the hill streets
are covered with mud. Many cross
ings are almost impossible and
scores Of terraces are washed out.
The sidewalk on the Sixteenth
street side OF the Moline CONNER
cial club was covered with mud
this morning. Firemen from Cen
trail station arrived with several
powerful streams of water and
cleared the sidewalk for traffic.
Considerable damage and annoy
ance was caused by the storm in
the extreme west end of Moline,
where much of the water from the
bluff ran into streets, sidewalks
and residence property instead of
into the new storm drain. Failure
Of property owners to permit the
city to construct a suitable south
entrance to the drain is alleged to
be responsible for this damage.

played very little interest in this

this morning when about twenty
five persons had visited the polls.
The election of one alderman and
one police magistrate is II that oc-

Interesting visitors
SIip In Unherulded.

Some of the most worthwhile of
our interesting visitors" slip into
Washington unheralded and are gone
almost before it becomes known that
they are here. For instance, there
was Mrs. Herbert Sduiers, who made
a little visit last week to her SON
in-law and daughter, Rear Admiral
and Mrs. Harry Harwood Rousseau.
Mrs. Squiers has pretty nearly every
decoration in the gift OF the French
government-the croiX de guerre with
star, the medaille de reconnais-
sance de France, and others-for her
four years of work in French army
hospitals. But not content with this
once with a unit which is going into
Syria to organize a hospital and can
teen there.
The head Of this unit is another
tremendously interesting woman. Mrs.
DAILY, of New York, and she was
among the guests at the delightful
dinner party which Admiral and Mrs.
Rousseau gave at the Chevy Chase
Club for Mrs. Squiers on the night be-
fore she left for New York, whence
she is to sail shortly on the first lap
of her journey to Syria. Mrs. Squiers
and Mrs. Daily expect to devote three

der General Gouraud and are to es-
tablish at Beirut canteen and hos

the work is we'll organized, Mrs.
Sauiers expects to return to Parts

leaving others to carry on for her
During pretty nearly the whole
four years of the war Mrs. Squiers
was in charge of the hospital at Mont
Mirail. near Chateau Thierry, run by
the Sisters of st. Vincent de Paul.
She was on duty during both of the
great offensivSs in which the Ameri-

The Junior Leagues
Numerous Activities.

The third OF the Junior Leagues
very successful series of small and
early dances will take place this
week-on Friday evening at Rausch-
er's to give the time and place-and
bids fair to be every bit as enjoyable
as the first party early in December
and the tremendously jolly Christmas
dance. The junior League, you know,
is cooperating with "Pete" Greig
and his troupe of talented amateurs,
who are to put on a revue for the
benefit of the Children's Hospital, and
the organization has recently started
new venture.
The league has opened an office with
the Associated Charities at 923 H.
street-'phone NJ. 992-with the idea
of getting in touch with the scores
of women in Washington who have
time and inclination - for ph Ian
thropic work, but are not affiliated
with any particular organization and
don't quite know how to set about
making themselves useful. The girls
of the league will keep office house
from 10 to 1890 o'clock and will be
glad to supply information on the va
rious opportunities for charity work
which are open to anyone desiring to
volunteer her services.
1t has been decided to revert to the
original title of "Hullo Washington"
instead of 1T Couldn't Be Worse"
perhaps, a wee bit too suggestive
for Mr.. Greig's revue, which will be
put on on Tuesday and Wednesday,
February 10 and IL, in the bathroom
of the Marine Barracks, with the
Children's Hospital as the bene-
ficiary. There will be "a matinee at
S:15 O'Clock on Tuesday. as well as
the evening performance. The price
