MANY AIDED IN BUREAU
OF WAR INFORMATION
Women Take Load Off Shoulders
of the Hard-Worked
Policemen
Gloomy and uneventful Is tho llfo of the
downtown policeman theso days. Tho
charming young damsels who us.ed to tako
their troubles and queries to tho gallant
crossing "cop" now go to tho War Informa
tion Uureau In City Hall. This transference
of attention is greeted with chagrin by tho
most gallant of tho bluq-coated gentlemen,,
but one was heard to mutter 'Tralso be 1"
Tho noticeable lncreaso In tho Inde
pendence of young girls and the Increased
number of Inquiries from foreign lahor
seekers In tho city was responsible for that
ungallant remark.
Nevertheless, tho girls at the War In
formation nureau In the pailllon in City
Hall court And that placo a busy center fiom
8 o'clock In the morning until 8 o'clock at
night. Hero miormatlon of all imaginable
sorts and descriptions Is glen out to scores
of pereona each day. Some Inquiries might
lead ono to believe It an employment agency
or a housewife's trouble bureau. Designated
desires to do war work havo brought vol
unteers and paid workers Into this great
field of endeavor.
Tho human-Interest aspect of tho work Is
Infused Into the answers. Not one of the
-(-I. ar,it wnmen wnrklnir there under direc
tion of Miss EllrabeUi MeShano fall to take
an Interest In tho persons sho Is there to meet
and help. There Is none of the parrotllko
sort of Information given that tends to In
still distrust In an Information bureau and
Immediately start tho inquirer on a search
for himself.
Some of the questions are so ridiculous
that they are disgusting. . Many of them
are everyday questions,- while tome of them
aro extremely pathetic. Each and every
, ia nnawered ns accurately as nos-
UUC3UU1I -' ..-..-- . ... .
slble. and no one Is turned away without
somo Information or. refeTenco to bomo one
who can five full details.
Employment is tho greatest subject that
people are seeking Information about Hun
dreds of men havo been referred to tho
various free agencies that aro looking for
shipyard help. Tno largo numuer oi micno
who apply for this Bort of Information maken
It Impossible to placo theso men with Gov
ernment corporations, but there aro numer
ous private shipyards that are continually
wanting this help.
One pathetic story of a young alien who
came here from Detralt Inspired the Interest'
of tho workers. Hearng of tho great demand
for' workers In and about Philadelphia, he
came hero without a penny In his pocket,
feeling that it was necessary only for him
to get here and be received with open arms.
After sleeping outdoors all night and going
without food for two days, he applied for
help at the War Information Bureau, and
they put him In the, way of getting It.
"I want to get a warrant for tho arrest
Vfoni, Rmllh." a valine neero crlrl said
one morning. It seemed that her husband
would not support her, and she wanted this
Information bureau to help her, ,
War recipes, garden Information, the
woman's land army and the boys' working
reserve aro Borne of tho (subjects frequently
asked about. Then there, are questions of
local interest, of streets, car service and
public buildings, all In the day's work. A
great many persons Just go into the pavilion,
look at the maps and exhibitions and then
go out, In that way answering their own
questions.
This War Information Bureau is under
the direction of the Bureau of Municipal
Research, and was made possible by the In
terest of Dr. George Woodward, who is
financing it.
It Is the ultimate hope .to make this In
formation bureau a permanent thing, for
already the great need of such a central In
formation place is proved.

Miss Catherine Newbojdr Miss Emma Adams
and Francis McShane assisting her,

BAZAAR TO ASSIST
PENSIONED FIREMEN
Entertainment With Unusual
Features to Aid City's Crippled
Heroes and Dependents
When the citizen calls for firemen ho needs
their assistance sorely. When tho fireman
reciprocates ho stands In equal need of the
cltlien's help. But he d6esn't ask it often.
During the last year, according to records
at the Bureau of Fire, more than 3000
alarms were turned In,, calling out firemen
and apparatus at all hours, In all weathers,
to rush at break-neck speed In response, that
tho menaced lives and property of Philadel
phia's 2,000,000 estimated population might
bo f-aved. Bits 'of heroism, collective and
Individual, marked this dovotlon to duty,
some of them claiming as toll tho lives of
their Intrepid performers.
Hosemen nnd laddermen havo been car
ried to hospitals from fire grounds, to emerge
later hopelessly crippled, with no means for
supporting themselves or dependents except
the meager sum obtained through the self
denial of their comrades.
Widows and orphaned children, maimed
and aged members of tho bureau aro being
sustained through the Firemen's Tension
Fund, which heretofore haB borne Its burden
with true "firemanly" patience, until the
treasury of Its organization not only Is
empty, but faces a deficit exceeding I4S.000
and nearly approaching 3 0.0 00,
Compelled by stress of this alarming con
dition and foreseeing additional demands
upon Its exhausted finances, tho hoard of
control of the pension fund appeals to the
citizens of Philadelphia to respond to this.
Its first, call for aid In Its vital necessity.
The public Imitation Is couched In terms
of announcement that a firemen's bazaar will
bo held, beginning next Wednesday and clos
ing Saturday, April 12, In Moose Hall, Broad
and Thompson streets.
