LEGION AUXILIARY
Hears Of W0MEN'S
work IN EUROPE

At the special meeting of American
Legion Auxiliary held Wednesday eve
ming Mrs. Jane G.. Weber, Mrs. Bar
bara Merrill and Mrs. Amy Elwell were
appointed delegates to attend the con-
ferences at Portland today. at which
National Commander McQuigg of the
American Legion is to be present.
The usual discussion and reports on
rehabilitation and welfare work were
included in the meeting, and following
the business meeting Frederic Mason
gave a most interesting talk on his
trip to Europe.
Mr.. Mason told what the women of
Europe were doing in this postwar pc
riod. Me said he had always been a
great believer in the fact that women
can do most all the things that men
can do. He said this circumstance
was brought home to him very forci-
" last summer when he beheld what
European women are doing in the COM
mercial world.
1.-THE toll of war threw many women
upon their own resources. This brought
out the initiative in many women and
! landed them in positions of trust and
power.
women in administrative positions
are frequently encountered in the rail-
other cooperative offices. They are at
the head of many stores and occupy
prominent positions in banks.
women are the mainstay of some
utility projects and in many of the
smaller hotels of France and Belgium
woman seems to be the ruling power.
In some of the hotels, husbands are
only used for doing chores. The wife
is on the throne.
con the street cars of Paris YOU will
see girls of high school age as con-
ductors, and they seem to do a good
job. quick, bright and courteous. Not
infreguently you see women who have
developed a mechanical training, and
you find them in jewelry stores, ma
chine shops and factories. AS the lace
makers of Belgium, they are known
the world over In America you see
few walkers in the great department
stores, but in Holland, England and
France today many women have this
position. On the farms women still
work, shoulder to shoulder. with the
men in the cultivation of the fields.
ITO my creates surprise l found in
Belgium women who were locomotive
engineers. This probably grew out of
the exigencies of the war, but / was
told that the women had made a great
success of this very responsible posi-
ton
'In other walks of life are seen
women 'newsboys,' flower Vendors.
truck and taxi drivers, and municipal
street sweeperS. SO you viii see that
women are playing their part in the
affairs of the old world"
Dainty Refreshments were served by
members of the January refreshment
committee during the social hour.

Hardness of Gov.
Smith Saves Him
From CraZed Veteran

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 27--(AP)--The
late arrival of Gov. Smith at the ex-
ecutive offices in the Capitol today is
believed by officials of the executive
department to have saved him from
attack by a she1I-shocked war veter-
an, seeking payment of his bonus,
who penetrated into the governors
private Office before being stopped by
attaches of the executive.
Entering the outer offices of the
executive chamber, the former SOL
der. whose name and address is not
known by the governors aides, leap
ed over q brass railing, ran through
a large reception room and succeeded
in passing through another office be-
fore reaching the governors private
office. The governor was not there
but his secretary. George b. Graves
intercepted the man and asked his
business.
He wanted to see the governor and
quickly. he said.
Certainly" Mr.. Graves replied, HE
is right down here" and led the man
down a secret stairway to the Offices
of the state prison department, on the
| flor below. In the meantime other
attaches of the executive offices had
| gotten in touch with the state hospi-
tai department and when Graves and
the intruder reached the prison de-
partment offices, they were met by a
doctor from the hospital commission
who took charge of the man.
! Passing through the large reception
room, the man badly frightened visit
ors who were viewing paintings OF
former governors there. Mr.. Graves
| explained that he had been frequent
visitor to the executive officers but
each time previous had been referred
| to military authorities FOR adjustment
of his complaint.
The veteran, Graves said had not
received federal check for compen-
sation payment and brought his com
plant direct to the executive as many
persons of all kinds do from time tc
| time.
Coming so closely after the recent
attempts of New York City man to
see the governor about removal OF
District Attorney Joab III. Banton
which resulted yesterday in the filing
of petition to impeach the governor
executive department officials were
somewhat apprehensive about the
safety of the governor from various
