has always been a successful enter
tainer. Last season he chanced to
get hold of a new setting for his
dancing act, and the setting included
several pretty girls. The audience
applauded him more than ever be-
fore in all his years of stage ex-
perience.
This applause was not due to any
change ca Improvement in his dane
ing or anything that he himself did,
but because of the originality of the
act as a whole. Nevertheless, the
applause had such an effect on him
that he is dancing as he never did
before. His friends remark about

might need their services, and they
wanted to prepare for the call. .Ac-
cordingly class was formed under
the instruction Of Professor Hill, Of
Hunter College, and there for three
months, from January, 1918, to
April, 1913, these earnest young
women---many of them society de-
butantes--spent from four to six
hours a day in the classroom.
The course prescribed two hours
code practice and two hours theory
in the morning, and some of the
more enthusiastic returned for two
hours additional code work in the
afternoon.
The class included Miss Alice
Dawson, daughter Of Henry P.
Dawson; Miss Abby P. Morrison,
20 East Forty-ninth Street; Miss
Brown and other we'll known New
York girls. When the course was
completed and the examinations
passed these young women were
ready to fulfill any Of the duties Of
the licensed radio operator.
Then began the exciting task Of
finding use for their training. They
thought the government was going
to need them, and they were anxious
oh, so anXious!-to offer their
services and help the cause for
which brothers and sweethearts
were risking their lives. But for
some reason no one seemed to need
them.

The accident occurred at the

impression, fielded the ball that
