League of Girls Clubs to
Open Its Home Sunday

A rev step in the DEVELOPMENT Of the
New York League OF Girl.' Clubs viii
be observed next Sunday when the
handsome residence at 10 East Sixtieth
Street, acquired by the organization as
central meadouartcrs, is formally
opened with house warming. An
interesting program has been arranged
by the members Of the various league
clubs in New York City and vicinity,
who ere experienced in carrying On tie
activities OF their own individual clubs.
Heretofore the clubs have had no
central meeting place, it having been
necessary TO hire quarters for special
gatherings Of the clubs as whole. Tne
new headquarters will serve not ONLY
a. center FOR the business sessions OF
the League, but as a rendezvous for
the girls OF evenings and suitable
place for weekly entertainments.
The headquarters has been tastefully
equipped with furnishings supplied by
persons interested in the notable work
that is being accomplished by the or
esnization.. The residence provides
space FOR dancing, lounge roonls and 6
members. By renting some OF the
rooms, when not in use by the mem
bers, for alumni gatherings and teas.
II is expected the headquarters will be
made nearly srlf-supporting.
The New York League OF Girls'
Cluba. which is made up Of th;rty-two
clubs in New York and New Jersey,
conducts activities in which al the
clubs may take part. These include
hikes, Sunday teas, parties and Classes
in dancing, music, dramatics, Ian.
gnages. handicrafts, swimming and
basketball. 1t helps individual clubs
TO plan their own activities and helps
other girls to help themselves by
organizing new clubs.
The clubs, having total member
ship OF 5000 girls, are non-sectarisn,
governing. seli-supporting, or
striving toward self-support. The big
aim Of those who originated the league
many years ago and those who now
sponsor II is to aid in the self-develop-
nent OF girls engaged in business
through education and recreation. To
this end. the girls are not interfcred
with in carrying on their own activi-
ties and delegates OF the clubs form the
board Of governors which governs tho
activities OF the league.
Cooperating with the board OF d.
rectors on questions Of policy and sd
vice Is the board of trustees, which 10

to make inquiries. They discovered
that motor truck had burst into
flames near East Sayville and that its
yesourceful driver, after sending in a
fire alarm, had started off on keen
run Sor this town, two miles away.
In q marvelously short time he was
back again, driving fire engine. He
had coupled up the engine to a hydrant
IN workmanlike fashion, connected a
few lengths Of hose and put out the
fire IN his truck. Then he had folded
up the hose and driven away with the
fire engine in the direction Of Sayville.
After while he had returned afoot.

Sayville firemen were satisfied with this
as an explanation Of the disappearing
fire engine, but they are far from salts
ned with the conduct Of the truck driver
which they regard as unconventional in
the extreme. Putting out iires is their
business they point out; the business
Of the plain citizen is to wait, sitter he
has turned in an alarm, until the firemen
come out and put his fire out; the Fire
Department can't have every Tom. Dick

LONDON, Oct. flames Henry
Thomas, Labor member OF Parliament,
was howled down this evening at Shelf
field by Communists when he spoke
at a conference Of the national eXecu
tives Of the Labor party. Thomas, who
is suspected by the extreme laboritee
OF having sympathies with the gov
crnment. did not attempt to continue
his address, but left the building.
Arthur Henderson, another leader OF
the party, had mixed reception, but
made his speech, taking strong anti
government lines. He insisted that the
worst feature OF the present situation
vas the fact that nearly 100000 OF the
countrys idle men had exhausted their
unemployment insurance benefits. He
charged that the governments inter
national policies we're responsible for
the unemployment.
Thousands Of London's 5 East End job
less men marched this afternoon to
the Offices Of the Metropolitan Asylum
Board, where the members Of the board
were discussing the imprisonment OF
the Poplar councillors for refusing to
levy the tax rates fixed by the board
to aid the unemployed. Hundreds of
mounted police we're present, but the
dem iorstrators dispersed when it had
been announced that the board would
not oppose the release of the council
lors.
Several more night attacks on Lon
aon's police-believed to be the result
of the dissatisfaction of the unem-
ployed- were reported this morning.
In Leicester last night eight men were
arrested after rio,, when a gang Of
unemployed men 1aided the police sta
ton IL an effort TO obtain the release
Of their leader. The police disp persed
the mob With baton charges.
Six business men arrived in Gair-
loch, Scotland. this evening to confer
with Premier Lloyd George on the un-
employment question. As a result Of
the conference it is expected that tho
government will agree to assume d
larger share Of the exporters iabilitv
under the Cabinets export credit
scheme, which was designed to increase
trade.
Lloyd George will return to London
mex. Wednesday. A meeting of the
Cabinet has been called for THURSDAY
to decide on the personnel Of the Brit
ish delegation to the Washington ar
nlament limitation conference and to
discuss unemployment and Irish cues

engine house carly this morning in re-

engine house empty. The doors were
open and the engine was gone.
In the face Of this tragic mystery
the fire was forgotten temporarily while

was unsuccessful. They could find no

Grief-stricken, they returned to the

Purely Local. Saws O,Conno,

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-The walk
out Of several Thousand longshoremen
and checkers at New York to-day was
described as purely local in character
BY Thomas V. O'Connor, president Of
the Longshoremen's Union and a mem
ber of the Shipping Board. He added
that there was little likelihood of the
strike spreading.
Twenty Of the twenty-nine locals Of
tne longshoremen's union in New York
have accepted the new working terms
agreed on by the transatlantic steam
snip operators and the union, AIr.
O'Connor said, thereby insuring re-
atriction OF the strike TO the Chelsea
district OF the New York Waterfront,
which includes the Cunard and French
lines and the international Mercantile
Marine.
No Shipping Board vessels as get
have been affected by the walkout, Mr..
O'Connor said, adding that the board
would stand by the agreement, which
became effective to-day.
