UNITED ACTION
BRINGS RESULTS
DeS MOineS WODlen'S Bureau
SOLUes Big Problems.

The Service Star, the official organ of
the Service Star Legion, published in Des
Moines has the following editorial which
shows what women can do in concerted
action:
women are exerting a greater direct
influence than ever before. They get re-
suits. Des Moines is a city of 10000 in
habitants covering a comparative large
territory. For months the street cars
were idle. People who did not have
automobiles were compelled to walk or
ride in uncomfortable buses. The courts
were trying to settle the street car ques-
ton and mems clubs were holding Gaily
conferences while the people walked.
Finally the women's bureau Of the Des
Moines Chamber Of Commerce took the
matter in hand, pointed the way to n
solution Of the street car problem and
demanded that service be resumed.
I'm three days the cars were running
and Des Moines now has better street
car service than for years"
Again. like many other cities Des
Moines was experiencinb wave Of
crime Several crimes against women
were committed homes, business houses
and banks robbed, Men adopted reso-
lutions. A change was made in rnr
public safety department but crime in
creased.
THE women again came to the front
They raised $500 in three days and
caused many extra policemen to be
placed on the force.
'The crime wave was broken and the
criminals are on the rnn."

by the fremen of Indianapolis. in recog-
milton Of services to them during the
session Of the Legislature, recalls an IN
written story as to how the ingenuity
and alertness of one woman put over
the two-platoon system for the hremen
Of Indiana in that session.
A delegation Of ministers of Indian
apolis had called upon Governor Good.
rich asking his signature to the bin, in
order that the nremen might have an
opportunity to go to church, but the
Governor refused them. Then it was that
the firemen Of No. 3 engine house made
an appeal to Mrs. Kuhns for her help,
which was readily given.
Mrs. Kuhns summoned a group Of
women to her assistance and went before
the Governor asking his signature, that
the fremen might have an opportunity
to become better acquainted with their
families. He refused TO sign the bin as
presented, but stated that he would
sign an amended bin that would cover

1900 and more than 1900 having q
regularly organized fire department.

Capes for sports wear have never been
any too sane, with their trick OF catching
every breeze that blows and with their
hampering Of the arms, but here is a
sports cape that seems really sensible,
and bids fair to be the forerunner of a
very liberal crop.
II is short, reaching only a little below
the elbow, circularly cut. making It full

Additional probability is given in the
deep Sits for the arms. These Sits and
the exaggerated Buster Brown collar are
serviceably piped with black kid.
This cape takes the place Of Jacket or
sports coat, with a plain skirt and belt

The material, by the way is a startling
feature Of the suit startling enough to
make its severe plainness satisfactory. A
checker board pattern OF grass and blue

stripe.
If these cape suits have the vogue
which they seem to be beginning, II win
be reasonably safe to predict a renewed
interest in the tailored silk blouse.
In their wake will come the sports OK

who the Earl of Hardcaster is, to make
Il sensational. I have not stolen the

Larry, beginning to see light.
