WHAT on earth do you think Is the

it brushed back tight off their foreheads.

I "can't get It. Why, because one does

What Women Arc
Doing in Washington
''"DAY the girls who do war work In Wash
t Ington at least as much as they get
from the packers In the Chicago stockyards,"
Is the substance of a telegram sent to Secre
tary McAdoo latt week on the subject of
higher wages for women employed In tho
Government Bureau of Printing and En
graving. The message was sent from the National
Wornen's Trade Union League by Miss Agnes
Nestor. Its legislative chairman. It was Miss
Nestor's first official act' since her return to
this country with the American labor dele
gation from a six weeks' "conversation" with
the representatives of labor and trades unions
In England, Ireland and France.
MISS NESTOR is vice president of the In
ternational Glovemakers' Union and
member of the committee of women In In
dustry of the Council of National Defense.
She was choien by Mr. Gompers, along with
Mist Melinda Scott, of the New York
Women's Trades Union League, to represent
organized women In America on this delega
tion sent by the American Federation of
Labor.
They were treated In England with all the
honors due an officially accredited mission
from the United States. Receptions were
arranged for them by David Lloyd George
and Arthur Balfour. Lord Bryce entertained
them. Arthur Henderson, leader of the Brit
ish Labor party, traveled with them; George
Bernard Shaw, Mrs. Humphry Ward and
the Sidney Webbs were among the British
notables who were "pleased to make their
acquaintance."
"We were only a week In France," said
Miss Nestor on her return to Washington,
where she- and her fellow oyagers were re
ceived by the President and reported to htm
of their trip. "During that time I personally
did not visit any French factory, for we spent
three days In the war zone traveling through
towns and villages now under fire. The men
of the party went to a munitions plant one
afternoon, but I attended a small "femlniste"
reception arranged for Miss Scott and my
self by Mme. Duchesne, a French femlniste
and labor leader.
64TNTERNATIONALISM, a sense of Its
X strength and validity, is the outstand
ing Impression which remains from my trip,"
said Miss Nestor, her mild gray eyes kindling
with momentary enthusiasm. "I never be
lieved I would sense the solidarity- of what
we 'are all fighting for so deeply.
"Miss Gertrude Bonham and Miss Mary
MacArthur are two trades union women In
England whose names carry across the
Atlantic. Miss MacArthur Is head of the
National Federation of Women Workers, a
woman of the leisure class who has, never,
theless, been able to Identify herself thor
oughly with the working-class movement.
Miss 'Bonham is expected to come to the
United States for the annual conference of
the American Federation of Labor Jn Min
neapolis this month, where we of the Ameri
can labor mission will make our final report
on our visit."
OTHER women In Washington made their
arrangements to be present at the A. F.
of L. convention In Minneapolis. It was
natural enough that Miss Van Leek and Miss
Mary Anderson, of the ordnance department,
'should attend, but if was a bit surprising
to learn that Inez "Hayes (Gllmore) Irwin,
wife of Will Irwin, now or the Creel com
mittee, looked forward to being there. i
"I am a great labor fan, you know," said
Mrs. Irwin, as though It were necessary to
explain why a novelist should be Interested
-In such matters. "I Intend to fit In the con
vention along with a speaking tour which
will Include Cincinnati, Indianapolis and St.
Paul, which Maud Younger and I are going
to take, for the National Woman's party."
MARY HEATQN VORSE (Mrs, Joseph
O'Brien) Is another novelist who has
been workinr for the committee on public
Information In Washington. Mrs. O'Brien
has been here more or less all winter at
work on pamphlets for publlo speakers, and
for the past month has been In Chicago to
t.iAin material for the part played In this
country by different nationals, such-as the
Poles, the Lithuanians and Slavs.

Through tho activity of the home-service
section of thfi Red Cross, families or sol
diers who would otherwise bo rorced to re
main at home this summer will be given a
vacation or outing at a country place.
Mrs. Henry Boyer, chairman or the home
service committee or tho Red Cross, an
nounced at the regular meeting or the or
ganization this week that In response to let
ters written to country week associations,
the fullest co-operation had been promised
in every Instance. "
At certain cotintryi plaices families will be
taken Tor a week's ou,thig, at others for two
weeks. An all-day picnic outing has been
arranged at several pleasant spots, and some
places have agreed to take twenty-five per
sons every other month.
The terms under which 'tamllles will be
taken are dependent on the work done by
the several Institutions that have promised
to co-operate with the home-service depart
ment, some to give the service outright,
others for a minimum amount of expense
money furnished by tho Red Crots
This plan on the part of the Red Cross
will bring its measure of comfort to many
soldiers across the water who realize the
need for a little delicate son or daughter to
enjoy tho country air ahd a period pf rest
and play. It Is only a small part or the
splendid work Indicated In reports offered
at the meeting of the committee
It was announced that a medical advisory'
crmmlttce is being formed by the Red Cross
so that the best medical attention and advice
may be furnished to families of soldiers. A
group of leading physicians and specialists
will be pressed Into service. The welfare of
the soldiers' dependents also is having the
consideration of local lawyers, a committee
or whom are on duty every day at 1607
Walnut street to interview tho largo num
ber .-or persons who are having more or less
trouble about receiving their allotments ttom
the Government.
In many Instances an error due to some
slight misunderstanding or carelessness has
caused the trouble, but the lawyers are there
to remedy It and to give advice about rectlty
lng matters. While affairs are In process of
being straightened out, the Red Cross has
ministered to many a soldier's family in the
most vital things.
Vocational guidance for children of sol.
dlers is another. of the many-sided duties ot
the division. In several Instances where
children ot fourteen were taken from school
and pcrpiltted to become wage earners, the
salary was replaced by the Red Cross and
the child sent back to school.
In many other Instances a review ot
work at the meeting showed the scope of
work done by this department of the Red
CroBs. That three new rooms have been
obtained In the building they now occupy
la a fortunate circumstance, as the work has
so greatly developed as to' require more space.
