MARY
SUCCEEDS
= ON
MAIN STREET
By LAURA MILLER
CHARM-PLUS CASH

The date of her husbands death de-
cided her career. 1t was in 1918 that
Katherine Walker Smith suddenly
faced the world with two young chill
dren and factory nobody wanted.
Mr.. Smith had developed small
but healthy trade demand for iceless
refrigerators. Then the war put such
crimp in nonessential industries that
the Smith familys inheritance might
almost as well have been no inheri-
lance at all. She could not find
manager who could live on hope until
conditions brought opportunity for re-
newed prosperity. She was afraid to
try such seemingly hopeless venture
as managing in person, without any
business training, a half-dead bust
ness.
So she sold the factory for what she
could get. Her situation had made her
think in business terms and consider
seriously what business ability she
had. That ability seemed to lie in
selling, although selling the idea that
universe to conservative Missouri
voters measured the extent of her con-
tact with the public.
She decided to sell things she'd en-
joyed buying, and to sell 'em If pos
sible to people she'd enjoy serving.
She moved to Evanston, ILL.,, and
opened the tiniest Of shops dealing IL
women's fine wear. Evanston offered
the advantages she felt she needed. 1t
was small enough so she could easily
become known without expensive adj
vertising. 1t has resident group of
well-to-do people who are discriminate
Ing buyers of high-class clothing. 1t
has a large group Of college girls who
are always needing an extra sports
blouse, another set Of lingerie, or a
scarf that nobody on the campus can
duplicate. 1t has, to be reached with
in an hour, big wholesale district
where special commissions can be
quickly executed. 1t has good schools
and young people of the sort she want
ed her boy and girl to grow up with.
And it has now dainty gray-painted
shop bearing In tiay gold letters on
the window, katherine Walker
Smith"
The shop adjoins the best hotel in
town. 1t is on the route generally fol-
lowed by university girls shopward
bound. 1t is hardly one hundred feet
from the main business thoroughfare.
1t has produced an attractive home,
generous life insurance policy, bank
account that will shortly send the two
young Smiths through college, and a
very charming, good-to-look-upon wom-
an, who seems younger than when she
started to work.

A DISTINGUISHED WOMAN

How many teachers sprang into
fame during the war! Here, there
and everywhere, steadily working to a
high standard Of excellence, studying
under the leaders of their profession,
keeping constantly before their eyes
the goal of effective service, those who
had ability needed only opportunity to
show qualities of leadership.
One such teacher is Caroline Ruutz-
Rees. Professionally she describes her
self as simply a headmistress. Her
direct work has been the founding and
reorganization of Rosemary Hall. To
one who knows Connecticut, however
specifically, the mere location of the
school, in cultured, wealthy, beautiful
old Greenwich on the Boston Post
road, spells achievement.
Naturally Miss Ruutz-Rees based
her achievement on the most thorough
preparation and study. She holds the
degrees of Eleve Titulaire, Ecole des
Hautz Etudes, University of Paris and
Master of Arts and Doctor of Philoso-
ply, Columbia university.
In other directions, French litera-
ture and the suffrage movement
claimed her loyalty. Charles ct la
Sainte Marthe," a study In French
renaissance, published in both English
and French, and many contributions
to Modern Language Notes and to the
Yale Review have made her name IA
miliar in scholarly field. A county
craftsmanship, then state responsibility
and finally membership on the national
board of the American Woman Suf.
frage association marked the recogni-
ton of her ability by that group Of
clever women.
With the war, average folk who
would never have met Miss RuutZ-
Rees in her special fields, commenced
to learn how to spell her name For
the Council of National Defense asked
her to organize the women Of her
state, and made her a member of the
state council; the Young Women's
Christian association made her chair
man of the Connecticut branch, cam
teen division. With the passage Of the
Nineteenth amendment, the national
Democratic committee named her as
the national committeewoman from
Connecticut.
Thus does the world make beaten
pathway to your door," as Mr.. Emer-
son once said, If only your mouse
traps or your school teaching Is bet
ter than the best Of some one else.

UNIQUE MEMORIAL
IN HONOR OF DEAD

A light leaped up on the top of
125-foot shaft in Madison square. saws
the New York World, to burn there
steadily as a reminder to the living of
the youth cut down on the battleflelds
OF France, and of mothers who
weighed the lives of their sons against
the call to defend the nations honor
and made the sacrifice.
The eternal light" shaft, gift of
Rodman Wanamaker, was hewn from
q century-old pine IN the virgin forests
OF Oregon. 1t Is surmounted by "a
star and by light that never will
dim. A similar eternal light to the
memory of war dead burns on the
grave of the unknown soldier, under
meath L'Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Gold star mothers and Congressional
Medal wearers stood beside the hol-
low square Of marines, soldiers and
sailors around the shaft as Mr.. Wanna
maker unveiled the inscribed pink
marble base of the shaft. A salute to
the dead reverberated from army can
non, and 1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner"
was played.
"We give this shaft to the city Of
New York in the name of those moth
ers we worship, who gave us those
heroes who paid the supreme sacrifice
on the field of valor," Mr. Wanamaker
said. "May it ever shine and be a
guide to posterity in the interests of
liberty and freedom"
Mayor Hylan, who made the speech
of acceptance, declared he dedicated
the shaft to the mothers who placed
their own flesh and blood on the altar
of sacrifice, and that he further dedl-
Gated it to the ideals of the American
nation.
Maj. Gen. Robert Lee Billiard spoke
in behalf of the army, and Rear Ad-
miral Charles P. Plunkett spoke for
the navy.

FIRST DRY OFFENSE

Judge Orders Man Convicted of
Carrying Liquor Restored
I to Pension Rolls.

There is no moral turpitude in
volved in the possession or trans
portation of Intoxicating liquor, at
least not i'll the first offense, ac-
cording to an opinion rendered today
by Justice Frederick L. Siddons of
the Ttstrict Supreme Court.
The court accordingly declared that
the District Commissioners had no
legal justification for cutting off the
pension of Policeman Wilbur H.
Rock, who has been convicted in
Maryland of violating the national
prohibition act. The restoration of
ROCKS name to the pension roll is
ordered by the court.
Rock had been disabled in line of
duty and placed on the pension rolls
with pension of S69.16 per month.
February 10 last he had an automo-
bile accident in Maryland and when
officers arrived they found whisky in
the car, which Rock declared had
been left by his guests, who had fled
from the scene of the accident. The
policeman was taken to court in
Baltimore and fined for transporting
intoXicantS.

When the District Commissioners
heard of the conviction they took his
name off the pension rolls. ATTORNEYS

damus against the Commissioners and
the latter defended their action on
the claim that Rock had been con-
Victed of "misdemeanor involving
moral turpitudC," which under the
law is a basis for loss of pension.
Counsel for Rock at the hearing de-
MED there was any moral turpitude
involved in violations of the Vol
stead act.

the national prohibition act which
