BLANCHE BATES TELLS WOMEN .
TO BE PATIENT AND WIN WAR
Noted Actress Comes Back to Stage After Six Years'
Retirement to Help Her Country in Fight
for World Freedom
TUG spirit of patience this Is the
message ot Blancho Bates to Phila
delphia women.
Patience that they may back up the
men already In the serUce or their
country; patience that they may urge
their loved ones, ecn at the rnst of
tremendous sacrifice, to oluntccr for
the fight to down tho German.
The noted actress Is starring In the
big recruiting spectacle, "Oetllng To
gether," at tho Lyrlo Tlieatro this week.
She has come back to the .stage after
un absence of six years to urgo men
to join the colors, and to urgo women
to send men to the recruiting officer.
There are still msny branches of the
senlco in which men may enlist the
Navy and special branches nt the Army
and tho Marine Corps. It Is here that
Miss Bates Is sending men. and urging
women to sacrifice their selfish desires
by pointing out to tho "stay-at-homes"
the neeit for Immediate enlistments.
Miss Bates In prhato life Is Mrs.
George Creel, wife of the head of the
Federal Committee on Publlo Informa
tion. "Women must be loyal and faithful,
not only to their country, but to their
men and themselves as well," tld Miss
Bates today. "By putting aside their
trifling pleasures and realizing that they
must, sacrifice tho presence of their
loed ones and must fight the fight
here as the men light It on tho other
side this Is the only way they can
do their full duty.
"The time has come when women
must give up mere forms of war work

real.

so that this could be slipped under

From 'Wings of the Night'
I saw a lady on the stair.
And she was, oh. so strangelv fair,
With a knot of butter-coloitd hair.
And a waiting, listening, wondering air,
She was tall as a ladv ought to be.
And down i-he looke and smiled at ms.
Her eyes were queerly brightly blue
As the bit of sky that last shines through
Tho gathering clouds oppressive gray
On a chilly, windy autumn day.
There she paused on the stairs and
smiled
Like a child who hees another child
With whom It would dearly llko to play
If it only could get Its mirso nwav.
And 1 know not what dlvlno sunnlso
Leapt up like fire in my exes.
But I know her smiling suddenly stopped,
And a curtain between us blankly
dropped,
And she pasied me bv as If I were

At birthday surprise party It Is well
to present the gifts to the one whose

basket or on a tray. She may then hate
the pleasure of opening the packages
and thanking each individual as his or
her gift appears and all may see tht

thank you, as it would not do to leave
any one conapicuousiy out. However, m
a surprise partv every ono but the per

guest would go to the party not armed
with a present of some kind. The
recipient should be careful to thank

Wlfo of Cartaln Oeekler, ll!th Enrtneere. Camp Sheridan
1HB wives of American men want to
go to France.
Unlike Tenelope, who remained pa
tlenlly at home while her husband-war
rior. Ulysses, achieved valiant feats on
the battlefields, America's womanhood Is
anxious to play the rolo ot soldler-wlfe
In France. Theso women are not con
tent lo remain at home and receive
tho little mites of news that filter across
tho Atlantic, a the War Department
would hao them do. They want to be
near tho scenes of their husbands' tri
umphs and defeats. They want to share
their Joys, to help them stand up under
their sorrows.
They want to be In France, close lo
the roar and anguish ot tho western
front.
But tho War Department, deeming
thla unwise, has said no. And Ameri
can women, as good soldiers as are their
husbands, nro bearing tho order grace
fully and without a word, as a good
soldier always does.
Nevertheless, tho wives of our fight
ing men wnnt lo go across. They be
lieve they could do better service as
wives It they wero In Franco rather
than on this side of the Atlantic. They
believe their husbands would be better
soldiers with their wlven with them.
Tho services ot stenographers, Inter
preters, operators and trained nurses are
needed. Tho majority of tho wives of
our ofilcera arn competent cither to do
this work or In a short time to make
themselves competent. American women
are no longer of the helpless type. Amer
ican women are not weaklings nor cow
ards. They aro able to meet reverses
ond accomplish tho work they set out
to do.
I had anticipated accompanying my
husband In tho capacity of Red Cross
nurse, having had six years of experi
ence as a nurse In a military hospital.
I believe the majority of soldiers In the
hospitals In Franco today are there not
oftener ns n result of wounds than
of nervous diseases and mental col
lapse. Nothing could Insure these men
a speedier recovery than the pres
ence of loved ones. The wounded man
recovers moro quickly with his wife
close by.
True, the soldiers have few oppor
tunities of seeing their wives, but It is
tho thought that helps. Here at Camp
Sheridan It Is not more than once or
twice a week that the men can be with
their wives, but their nearness is a
constant Inspiration. Thought ot a

Tlin Increasingly Important part
women aro playing In the business
and commercial life ot tills country and
the ever-growing numbers of women who
are throwing oft the fetters of conven
tion and stepping Into a life of Indepen
dent! effort are made graphically clear
by the income-tax returns now being
filed.
The business nnd professional status
of women Is almost equal to that of
men. and unequal only because there Is
such a preponderantly larger number of
men engaged In business and industry.
The truth of this fact began to filter
through the natural prejudice of the
various male agents In the Internal
Revenue office when It became more and
moro apparent that an unexpectedly
large number of women were filing In-J
come-tax returns, wnai seems to nave
caused the greatest surprise on the part
ot the agents Is that a larger percentage
than , the authorities anticipated were
paying Income taxes on salaries earned
In commercial pursuits, and not on be
quests, unearned increment incomes and
Inheritances.'
And listen to this: In filling out
blanks, an arduous and complex task at
best, women make fewer mistakes tnan
do men, agents say. Men rush In and
write without rehearsing on "scratch
Daner." but women carefully figure their
financial status out on a separate sheet
and then simply post it on the aovenv
nient blank. The consensu of opinion is
that women give les trouble than men.
and the expected 'foolish questions" are
pot nearly as prevalent "among vromen as
among men.
According to one of the agents, who I
busy from morning until night opening
the thousands of returns that are made
dally by mall, salaried women are In the
but they aro also getting men's wages
for their labor. It la surprising to learn
how many women nro making returns qn
their salaries alone."
It Is roughly estimated that one-tenth
of tho visitors at tho Internal revenue
olllcea ure memhers of the "weaker"
sex, This looms up an a considerable
figure when It is remembered how many
hundreds of persons make their income
tax returns.
Collector of Internal Revenuo Ephralm
Lederer expressed himself as highly
pleased at tho way that women have
made returns. They are not without
their human sidelights, however, and the
Collector smilingly pointed lo an exam
ple. A woman, he said, wrote the de
partment that she figured her Income tax
bv three different svatems and aot dif
ferent results each time. Mie tnererore
enclosed a check for the largest amount,
saying: "The Government Is entitled to
the benefit of the doubt."
April 1 Is the last day on which an
income-tax return may be filed. Unless
It Is tn by that day and the authorities
discover that a return should have been
made the nenalty is a fine. Besides. It
Is regarded as an especial patrlotlo duty
this year.
