Why not take an inventory of YOUR homefur- nishings and lay your plans this year for the replacing of those things which have outlived their usefulness.

GROUNDS NEW BRITAIN DAILY HFRAL EXTENDED SERVICE Doors of Many Instl utions Now Open for Female Workers Washington, Jan. 18.—Never be- fore was the scope of vocational op- | portunity for women so wide, nor the chances for even untrained women to | earn money varied. The advice of authorities to women in | industry, is to the effect | that adequate training is essential for efficiency, and the war has brought | into existence many sources of struction for so many and however, in- | women desirous of training for industry. The type of woman, her mental and physical ability, will determine large- | ly her wage-earning power. For the woman of fair education the various lines of clerical work offer a fruitful field. The United States civil service possibly presents the most favorable opportunity for this class as the serv- ice of female clerks for the govern- ment is in demand. There is need in most of the large cities for intelli- gent women to fill clerical positions, taking the place of men who have gone to war. Banks are opening their doors to women clerks, and offices and com- mercial houses require women in their filing divisions, for statistical work, the operation of tabulating machines, secretarial work, etc. The railroad offices throughout the country employ women as ticket agents, freight clerks and in other clerical positions former- ly filled by men. In many cities the demand for telephone operators is larger than the supply. For the woman in the country the farm offers an opportunity for serv- ice. Women in New York and New Jersey last summer demonstrated their ability to perform mutually profitable work in the market gar- dens, orchards and even in the grain fields. At the beginning of the sea- son the farmers treated with scepti- ecism feminine offers of service; but before its close the women had be- come a valuable agricultural asset in the farming sections of these states. For the city woman whose physi- cal ability is her chief resource in bread-winning, the factories offer many positions, although again it is | the trained woman who is in de- mand in textile and munitions fac- tories and other centers of labor. Many of the railroads throughout the country are employing women in the | freight yards for the lighter forms of labor, and they are in demand as car cleaners, in which latter service they have proven themselves highly satis- factory. The policewoman is also ap- pearing, while occasionally a woman is to be seen driving a delivery wagon. Statistics from the city of Detroit show that within recent months the increase in woman service employed in factories and workshops is almost three times greater than that of men. In reply to the question: “What ecan women do other -than knitting, con- | serving food and giving voluntary ser- vice to the Red Cross?” There is a large fleld of usefulness for the woman who wishes to serve her country, in Americanizing men, women and children of foreign birth in this country, and every large city yvields women’s relief committees which are in need of workers. Good | volunteer war work can also be ac- complished by arousing interest in the nation’s war loans—its Liberty Bonds and its War Saving Certificates and Thrift Stamps. Any woman with a gift for public speaking may become a “Four Minute Speaker”. | Civillan relief for familles whose men have gone to war offers a large field for patriotic volunteer service. | Financial aid may be provided, posi- tions may be found for women de- pendents and practical service may be rendered mothers who are compelled to work in the absence of their hus- bands. Child welfare work is a primary insurance of the country’'s welfare. The soldiers returning from battle | will shortly offer an extensive field for relief work of patriotic Ameri- can women. Thousands of crippled men must be reconstructed and re- educated. Volunteer lay workers can do much for the physical comfort of convalescents by giving massage, by helping the lame to walk, the deaf to hear and the blind to see, by reading, by entertaining and by performing other duties to help men who have given themselves to the nation’s cause. For the patriotic American woman who wishes to do other work than knitting, conserving food and working | through the Red Cross, the following organizations and others of kindred nature will yleld ample information for rellef work. | National Americanization Commit- tee, 29 West 39th St.; National League | for Woman Service, 105 West 40th St.; National Security League, 31 Pine street, and National Civic Federation, 105 West 40th street, all of New York City; National Society D. A. R., Wash- ington, D. C, and Special Aid Society f3r American Preparedness, 601 Boyl- | ston street, Boston. | In every state in the Union may be found units of the Woman’s Commit- | tee of the Council of National De- fense. These organizations have in- formation concerning every phase of the war work being done by women. Red Cross associations are in thirteen districts. e OAPTAIN MAC DERMOT DIES, London, Jan. 18.—Captdin French MacDermot, whose ancient Irish title was ‘“The MacDermot Roe, Lord of | Maylurg,” has died at Monte Carlo.

San Paulo, Brazil, Jan. 18. Pinto, one of the last desperate of the bandits have been terrorizing the people of the adjoining state- of Parana for many months has at last been killed hy the police, after a chase that was as exciting ag most of Pinto’s esca- pades. Hardly a week passed that travelers did not bring stories of en- countering hifa. He always worlked | alone, but his absolute disregard of danger made him a terror to everyone who went into that part of the state.l Recently his robberies had become so frequent and the killing of his vie- tims so numerous that the Brazilians Angelo and most who | many called him ‘“Agnelo the Man Killer,” and the police were ordered by the state government to take him dead or alive. A searching party of five started in search of him. After a march of 21 miles, searching party overtook the ba in a lonely section known as Cani- vete which had been the scene of of his most desperate achieve- ments. Agnelo was hiding in the house of a friend and the police un- dertook to wait until he should leave his refuge, but their presence was soon reported to the desperado, who mounted his horse and set out at a gallop to meet the police. When told to dismount and con- sider himself a prisoner, Agnelo dashed forward, shooting at the men who had attempted to arrest him. Dismounting and using his horse as a shield, he continued shooting until the dit ! the police began to close in on him, Every machine is guarantee.
