WOMEN AID POLICE IN HANSAS ciTY Join in Campaign fo Close Up Satoons Kansas City, Dec. 18 (#—Comely and daring women voluntecers have Jjoined the police here in closing saloons, taking up the wqrk where Mrs. Maud Wilson, modern-day Car- rie A. Uation, left off last week after wrecking a saloon with a hatchet. Adopting a course more nearly within' the law the women dry cru- saders, working with plain clothes officers, have purchased liquor at a half dozen saloons and aided in gathering evidence to substantiate injunction cases. Active In Campaign Sergeant Elmer E. Duncan, head of the police raiding squad, has re- vealed that five younw women, some of whom are said to be socially ‘prominent, already have become ac- tive in the dry crusade, and that 15 1a0re volunteers were in readiness to take up the wi the present wo bartenders. “Just give them the strength,’ sergeant said, “to keep on t their liGuor straight, and we'll clean up this town.” “Takir~ their liquor straight,” is indecd the hardest part of the self- imposed task, ¢ ~ of the assistant raiders today indicated.
