dings were struggling to make a pay
ing newspaper plant out Of the few
hundred pounds Of type that they
called The Marion Star about the
same time that Henderson was de-
veloping a plumbing business. In
those days the plum birg business
wasn't precisely the gold mine that
II IS to-day. There were fewer bath
tubs and steam-heating plants. Even
so. Henderson was a well-to-do in
dividual in Marion twenty-five years
ago. Then through illness and a
succession of misfortunes he lost
his business and moved to Cleve-
land and got out of touch with his
old friends at Marion.
A little more than a year ago
there was an important political
rally in Columbus, Ohio. All the
candidates for Governor were there
exhibiting their oratorical and polit-

was there from Washington, but,

not with him.

THERE are three moving picture
L theaters in Marion, Ohio. Pic
lures only are shown at one ;
the other two conclude their shows
with couple of acts of incredibly
bad vaudeville The song and dance
artists usually have adenoids and
lame feet, excellent ahbis but fear
ful handicaps. The living picture
models are usually within a few
pounds of being fat enough-or thin
enough-to hold a freaks situation

are sufficiently agile; it must be
their sad efforts at clowning that
keep them on the microscopic
rlme.' The pictures, however, are
the same as those shown on Broad
way or in Nome, Alaska,
The programs are changed Thurs
day and Monday each week. In the
lobbies of the show houses there is
reserved 4 parking section for baby
carriages, and this space is always
occupied from 7:30 p. m. to 9 p. M.

Eager TO Do Their Share

In emergency work other than

ish women were eager TO do their

Unconscious Heroism

~In offering themselves for serv
Ice to their country" she continued,
"none Of the women seems con-
scious of any heroics in the mat
ter. I suppose this is because there
have been so many heroes and hero
ines meeting the conditions without
complaining and with simple dignity
that the most is the least that is to
be expected Of all where the country
is concerned.
"Can you imagine the fuss that
would have been made if q battalion
Of American girls had marched down
Fifth Avenue when we were at war?
In Poland, when the women volun-
teered and actually marched out for
military service. no great acclaim
sent them on their way. AS indi-
yiduals the young women seemed
utterly unconscious that they were
doing anything except what was to
have been expected
When the trouble with the Boil
sheviki started there was the Wilma

thousand in all. These had been re-
fruited from the universities first.

duty" said Miss
Martha Chickering last week, in
discussing her experiences in relief
work in Poland. Miss Chickering
was sent to Poland by the Y. W. c.
A. in 1919 to conduct relief and re-
construction work there. When the
trouble started between Poland and
the Bolsheviki, the Gray Samaritans
turned in, as did every one else in
the country, and helped in the emer-
gency.
Miss Chickering knew many of the
women soldiers and their officers
personally. There is nothing too
splendid for her to say in praise of
them, and of all Polish women for
that matter.

Treated With Respect


There was never word of dis
respect directed at any Of the WON
en- soldiers. The reputation of the
legion and that Of the girls as in
dividuals was without spot.
''ln some of the emergency work
done by the Y. ". c. A. we went
out to help 200 Of the women SOL
diers. We found them sleeping in
tents, but with no cots, no boarding
of any kind. Even in the hospital
tent the sick were all in together,
lying on blankets spread upon the
ground. From some place, or rather
from a dozen different places, we
found cots for the sick girls. None
of the girls complained under these
hardships. They we're thankful for
the things that were done for them.
but were getting along cheerfully
without them.
II have seen Polish women SOL
diers drilling in the hot sun dressed
in uniform tunics and skirts of as
many different materials as there
were girls; mems heavy army shoes
on their feet and almost staggering
under the army rifles they carried.
They were unconscious of their dis
comforts. Their heads thrown back,
they seemed the very spirit Of
Poland And as soldiers they drilled
beautifully.

American Woman Tells Of Her.
: Association With the Famous
Battalion of Death

The opinion Of most persons WAS
that women were more conscientious
IN this kind of work than men.
Guard duty, as many of our men
know, is most firing and unheroic
work. 1t gives little chance for the
great display of sacrifice, which
ouoys up every soldier in the face
OF danger. 1t is dangerous and
lonely. In many instances it is dull
and at the same time just as hard
on the nerves and physical strength
as the seemingly more dangerous
duty under fire. The Polish women
soldiers never complained about
their lot. They did their duty and
seemed to find satisfaction in the
simple fact that it was for their
country
After the peasant girls began to
come into the army it was found
that they stood the service so well
that the ranks were filled with more
and more of them. At the time of
the retreat from Kief the women
soldiers were nearly all peasant
girls. The students had many of
them gone back to teaching. At the
call from Warsaw the women were
housed in new barracks, and the
army helped take care Of the unem-
ployment problem which might have
developed.
When the Poles began to retreat
and Warsaw was threatened the
Polish spirit famed. The students
went back into the army. The
daughters of the best families en-
listed along with peasant girls.

PRICES OF FURS WILL BE

to buyers attending the winter auction

GOO pelts. valued at approximately s25.-
100000 will be disposed of during the sale.
which will continue through February

The prospective increase in prices Is
assigned to the embargo placed on high
err grades OF furs by Australia and to the
Bolsheviki uprsngs in Russia, which it
was said virtually has paralyzed the fur
trade in that country.
