JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Katherine Register Is Married in Boston to Geraldyn Redmond.
f v Nancy Wynne Reads an Interesting Letter About
the Last Drive of the War
WELL, after several dates had been set
and changed owlntr to the exigencies
of war, Katherine Resistor was married
yesterday up In Boston to Geraldyn Liv
ingston Redmond, U. S. N. R. Flying Corps.
The wedding was celebrated at Katherlne'a
grandmother's home on Commonwealth
avenue, and If you've ever been to Boston
you know what a perfect avenue that Is
orS which to live. Mr. and Mrs. Albert L.
Iteglster are Katherlne'a parents and they
all formerly lived In Ardmoro, you know,
and aro members of the Register family
here. So naturally we are all Interested
in this wedding, especially Katherlne'a own
frlendB, and they aro many!
Barbara was one of her bridesmaids and
Doris Taylor, of Springfield, Mass., was
the other. One of the reasons for the post
ponement of'tho wedding was the fact that
Captain Johnson Redmond, Gerald's
brother, was to come home from overseas
shortly and they wanted him for best man,
so they waited and changed from Novem
ber to December, and then they changed
from December 11 to December 18. But
he finally got there.
Katherlne'a paternal grandmother Is
Mrs. I. Layton Register, and she Is a nleco
of Mrs. Matthew Balrd, Jr., of Ardmore.
Her maternal grandmother Is Mrs. Eliza
beth Simmons.
I READ such an Interesting letter from
Jack Blynn, who was In tho ambulance
servlco In Prance during the war, that I
begged permission to give you a few ex
tracts. You know wo are so apt to think
of the risks "tho soldiers take as the only
risks in the war; but, my goodness, what
those ambulance men have gone through
and what they have done for the wounded
and dying is one of the ri.ost wonderful
things of tho great conflict. And they are
so modest about It. This letter was written
to a friend, and in It he asked that 'it
should not be shown to his mother, Mrs.
Harry Blynn,'1 until after tho war was over,
ns he knew she would bo so worried about
I him. But now the war Is over alio has
seen it, and I'm glad to bo ablo to give
you an extract or so. Indeed, If I were his
mother I'd be proud to think I kail such
a son.
"It was bad enough," ho says, "when
we used to carry the wounded French, but
when thoso poor things were our own
Americans!" (This letter was written
Juat about a month before the armistice,
.when the Americans were forging ahead
bo fast that they covered the ground as
signed for threo days In one.) "By this
time we were not using roads at all, but
(.were running over hills through what must
'have been, fields. 'Four other fellows and
myself five ambulances In all loa'ded up
with stretchers and stretcher-bearers and
tried to establish' a new advanced dressing
. station, but the Germans had the lead on
the road for fair and dropped shells all
around us. So the infantry lieutenants In
'charge ordered us to try a branch road,
eitffo got shelled out of that, too, and hovV
' the cars cams through 1 could never tell
you.
."The post was finally established right
. where a boche machine-gun squad had
been blown up, and there nil thoso Ger
- mans lay! Sundown brought us another
horror gas! 'Three of our men had to
. be'sent to a hospital and J. G. and I were
bleeding at the nose and mouth when it
finally let up. The most terrible sight of
" tho-whole attack was right hero. Many of
the wounded were hurt In the head and
,,th"e "bandages made it Impossible to put
on their gas masks. Oh, their pitiful
cries! "
He goes on to tell In detail how they
'worked on and on and tho second car of
the five was finally caught by a shell and
&e't aflro and the driver turned to death.
'.He tells also how two shells fell near his
'car with such concussion It rocked from
'side to side, and "The patient on the top
-stretcher fell off onto the man below. A
voice from the back of the car said: 'Hey
t'nore', can you help this fellow up? I've
got a leg off myself and I'm too weak.'
You can see from that the wonderful spirit
. that the wounded men had. So I stopped
J and helped him up, and Just as I was get
I ting back Into the driver's seat another
she'll lauded behind, us and blew tho tall
board of the ambulance to splinters. But
again no one was hurt"
In another part of tho letter, to give an
'idea of the utter exhaustion of those am-
ibulance boys, though ho just tells it in
75ta. pasflng, he says: "At the end of the third
S '"'day J. M. found me lying across the wheel
I" v '' of 'ray car In front of the dressing station.
f .Ho grabbed me and gave me coffee, the
f t.llrst thing we had had to eat since the
f" advance. Then came threo hours of sleep,
- t blessed sleep, In a little hole in the ground
.six feet long, two feet wide and three feet
W .deep." Now, does that give you some
ft I idea of what those men, not on tho fight-
& ''ins line, but helping those on that line,
have gone through in this war?
Trek Blynn is a very young fellow about
twenty-three or four, and think of what
f , his 'experience has beeri. My hat Is off
l )( to hlrt!

Futile lo Seek Jobs in Washington, Says
Civil Service Chief
Stewart Wilson, secretary of the Third
Civil Service District, warns workers against
going to Washington, D. C, In the hope of
getting n Civil Service Job.
Mr. Wilson's district comprises Pennsyl
vania and parts of New Jersc and Dela
ware. "Owing to the great demand during the
war for persons to perform clerical work In
the .departments In Washington," said Mr.
Wilson today, "a great many people so quali
fied left their homes and Journeyed to Wash.
Inaton with tho expectation of securing em
ployment. While the demand for such persons
was brisk, it was possible to give them em
plov ment, subject to their passing the requi
site clvit service examinations.
"However, since the signing of the armis
tice, the demand has fallen oft. and the de
partments are to an extet.t demobilising
their forces'. Therefore, no persons should
visit Washington with the expectation of se
curing a Government position whether or not
they have passed the civil service examina
tions, unless they have been gl-cn a written
notice of an appointment."

The "dippy dajjee," Mr. Barker explained,

sent to the sale of beer and light wines at
well conducted cabarets if "the attendant

"Hotel men should agree to reasonable

IN WAR WORK
CRIPPLES ARE PROVING
NEW BUSINESS ASSET
Training Enables Them to Com
pete Willi Fellows, Says
Social Expert
The practlca1 value of an empIuMiicnt
bureau for the phMeally handicapped was
tho subject of an address delivered this
afternoon at the Xew Century Club, under
tho auspices of the Pennsylvania School for
Social Service, by Miss Gertrude It Stein,
employment seciet.iry of the Bed Cros ln
stltuto for Cilppled and Disabled Men in
New Yolk till
"L"i to a few j ears ago neither the public
nor the cripple recognized the fact that tho
handicapped man cm work efficiently and In
conipe'tition with flio able-bodied," said Miss
Stein today. "The cripple was treated with
varying degrees of pity and charity, as an
unfortunate dependent, forced to adapt hlm
telf to a society which could have no eco
nomic use for lilui. Now his training has
placed him where lie can prove himself a
business asset.
"Securing for the handicapped worker the
position for which he is best adapted is a sci
entific problem. Afl emplovment work, which
faces its responsibilities and does not rely on
a hlt-or-nilss quality, requires. careful thought
and proccduie. But the head of an emploj
nicnt agency wh'ch supplies only crippled
labor finds the technique of her work more
Intricate
Convinced Tliey Can Wurk
"The first principle in this special tvpe of
placement might be termed the education of
the piospective worker. And that Is as psychologic-it
as it Is actual. The crippled man
must bo firmly convinced that he can work.
In spite of the protests and incredulousness
of his relatives and friends, he must be
taught to accept the only modern and hopeful
point of view, that he can again become a
self -huppot ting member of his community.
Then, whenever tho nge and the general char
acter of tho applicant permit, he must be
taught in claries such a3 aie provided by the
Bed Ciobs Institute a trade which will enable
him to use most effectively his remaining
faculties.
"For the sake of both of these," sajs Miss
Stein, "a conscientious effort is made not to
send any man to fill a position unless careful
investigation has demonstrated that he can
do tho woik as well as n noimal man. Tho
cmploer is not asked to take the man out
of charity.
Itreognitlon .Secured
"Trained assistants, efficient sv stems of
card Indexing, the requirements and the qual
ifications of positions nnd applicants, tho bu
pervlslon of an experienced, interested and
progressive manager these assets have con
tributed to tho success of this placement
laboratory.
"Tho returned wounded soldier undoubtedly
acted as n stimulant in securing recognition
and co-operation from the employers. Tho in
telligent employer who haa tested the ability
of the disabled man to perform a task will
realize that the Industrial cripple, too, de
mands his attention. Tho Bed Cross Inttltuto
employment bureau has had experience with
both tho disabled soldier and tho Industrial
cripple. '

the medium of Btreet-corner meetings, that
the ltev. Oaiey M Bird, pastor of tho Mount
Nebo Baptist Church, a negro congregation,
Invited both the ministers to speak nt the
church. Later a. hall on South Broad street
was tented as headquarters.
The work In this city was so interesting
and the results) so gratifying that tho ltev.
Mr. Pitcairn decided to stay here to help
advanco the faith. This week, while 111 in
bed, ho lecelvrd a letter from the chief of
South African missions, telling of tho work
aheady nccompllthed there nnd tho pos
sibilities of tho new field. He decided to
accept tho call and Immediately began mak
ing arrangements for an early departure.
The ltcv Mr. Pitcairn is still confined to
his home, at Bryn Ath)n. but friends secured
his passport. The mlssionaiy's permit is no
longer a necessity, ns it wns a wartime
measure of Great Britain to keep German
spies ft oni her colonies.
The joung minister Is tnthusinstlc about
his proposed work and intends to leave foi
tho missionary field Immediately after tho
Chiistmas holidays. His work In South
Africa will ronsin largely of Instiucting
native mlnlbteis In tho leaching and beliefs
nf Swcdenborg, but he will also have an
opporlunit) to tiy ills powers in a virgin
field
'J lie Philadelphia work will not lag hi his
absence, Doctor Allen having decided to con
tinue It. In addition to caring for his West
Philadelphia congregation.
In tho meantime, the ltev. Mr. Pitcairn,
millionaire. In his own right and reared In
luxury, will expound his beliefs to untu
tored and heathen negiocs In South Africa,
leturnlng to tako up his woik In Philadel
phia in about ouo ear.
