ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS

The Choo-Choo Express stopped
suddenly.
Bow Wow Town." called Mister
Punch, the conductor, in loud
voice.
"There's no use getting off here to
look for Ruby Joan, my lost rag
DOLL" said Nancy, because she hates
dogs"
Mister Punch heard her.
"Why, l should think it would be
the very place." said he, because
any dog may have picked her up and
run off with her"
That's So" remarked Nick. Come
on, Nancy, we'd better look"
SO they got off the funny little
train.
1t was true, for every kind of dog
gle in the world appeared to be
there and they were all barking a
welcome to the strangers.
But bye and bye it became quiet
and Nick asked the nearest one il
anyone had seen a rag doll.
"Is this it?" asked the dog, run
ming to corner and pulling some
thing out.
"No, that's an overshoe," sale
Nancy.
"Is this it ~ asked another doggie
running to another corner.
No" said Nancy. "That's an OLE
glove"
perhaps this is it, said thir'
doggie. ~ found it in a back yard
1t tastes awfully good
Goodness alive! That's a bone.
said Nancy. Don't you know bon
when you see it?"
81 never knew their names but Nv
eaten a lot" answered the dog
"Thank you for telling me-"
Every dog in Bow-Wow Town ha
run off with something it seemed
and had it hidden away, but none o
them had the lost rag doll.
So the Twins went back to tn
Choo- Choo Express as it started TO
the next station.

Women Enter All
Professions But
One, Is Report

- When the First Annual Women's
Activities Exhibit, given under the
auspices of the New York League OF
Business and Professional Women
Inc, was presented in New York in
1922, it was said that almost every
occupation open to men had been sue
cessfully entered by women.
Not a single p ize fighter, accord
ing to the president of the club, Mrs.
Elizabeth Sears, was to be found
among the gentler sex. Recently a
comely young woman who said she
was Jean LIE Mar and boxer of note
walked into the office of the Women
Activities Exhibit at 2b East 18th
street and announced hiatt she had
come to refute the charge that wo-
men did not readily take to boxing
Moreover, she insisted that women
should learn to box in order to main
tain the perfect health necessary to
complete success in any career.
"Now all We want to find is lady
plumber" says Mrs. Sears, who is
also General Manager of the Elk
hibit. Last year we had about al
the vocatiOns represented except box
ing and plumbing. The lady boxer
has appeared. If the lady plumber
will onl step forward and make her
self known, We will donate her
space in our Exhibit, free of charge
We understand that there are lad!
plumbers but We cannot seem to la,
our finger on them"
The Second Annual Women's Act
ivities Exhibit, which will be put Of
alta the Hotel Commodore, Septembe

women in unusual lines of business

cording to its lists. women in tn

7own Authorities Make
Improvements On I'd St.

Our town authorities have made a.
most decided improvement at the cor
ner of Second and Market streets, by
removing part of the pavement ON
the garage side.
This makes much better turn by
reducing the sharp curve and con-
tributes a large percentage of safety
to traffic.
There are other corners that could
be similarly doctored to advantage;
notably the one on the next corner
Third street. These pavements pro-
ject too far out into the street, and
make the turns difficult to negotiate
