WASHINGTON, Jan. 29—Miss Mary
Van Kleeck of the Bussell Sage Foun
dation and member of the committee
on women in industry of the advisory
commission of the council of National
defense, has prepared a bulletin refer
ring to the employment of women in
the storage and warehousing depots of
the United States army.
Under the auspices of ib 3 storage
committee of the war indi .tries board
of the council of National defense
Miss Van Kleeck conducted an invest)
gation which covered the defects ol
I13 ordnance department, the quarter
master corps, and the medical depart
ment of the war department in Bos
ton, Springfield, Mass., New York
Philadelphia, Norfolk, Jeffersonville
and Atlanta.
Already women are being employed
in several of these depots as c1o(-ks,
stenographers and telephone opera
tors. More recently they have under
taken the work of “Inspection of a
limited number of articles, and in one
not they have been employed as
packers.
It is evident that much of the work
is too heavy for women, and this is
the chief objection to their employ
ment. Miss Van Kleeck suggests leav
ing the heavier tasks to men while
women assure some of the light work
now done by the men.
In England, according to informa
tion given by representatives of the
ministry of munitions in this country,
women are now employed in all the
processes of storage work.
The successful employment of w’o
men, Miss Van Kleeck declares, will
depend upon carefully supervised ex
periments and upon provision for over
sight of their work and its conditions
by a woman supervisor in each depot.
Miss Van Kleeck's bulletin has just
been issued by the storage committee
of the war industries board of the Na
tional council of defense.
FORMER SENATOR FULTON
IN EXCITING ADVENTURE
(By Associated Press)
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 29.—While
he was living in Astoria, Ore., about
twenty years ago, former Senator Ful
ton, who died yesterday, nearly lost
his life in a tragedy that illustrated
the physical courage that was always
a marked characteristic.
Fulton had a summer home at Sea
side, a resort near the mouth of the
Columbia river, when the cottages
there were reopened for the summer
season, it was found that many, Ful
ton among the others, had been looted.
A care-taker named Charles Willard,
was under suspicion. Willard, who
called himself a Texan, was an un
communicative man known as a dead
shot, and one of his tricks was to
shoot corks thrown into the surf.
When Fulton, at Astoria, learned of
the robberies, he w'ent to Seaside, with
Sheriff Jack Williams and Deputy
Sheriff Lambert and joined a Seaside
constable in a visit to Willard's cabin.
Willard threw' open a window, rifle in
hand, in reply to their knocking, but
allowed them to enter. Articles iden
tified by Fulton w'ere found. The
visitors told Willard to come with
them to Fulton’s cottage for further
investigation, which he did, carrying
his rifle. Fulton and the constable
entered the cottage, when shots called
them outside. Williams lay dead. Lam
bert. fatally wounded, held the man
he had been told to guard in his weak
ening graps. Willard, freeing a hand,
shot the constable in the hip. Fulton
then clubbed Willard into insensibil
ity, as he supposed, and had started
off for help when he saw Willard
propped on his elbows taking a bead
on his rifle. Fulton drew his revolver
and fired. By the quickness and ac
curacy of this shot, Fulton saved his
owm life at the expense of the rob
ber’s.

HOW ABOUT THE BABIES?
(By United Press)
KANKAKEE, 111., Jan. 29.—Milk
dealers here have been afflicted with
an epidemic of orphan cats
When the price of milk recently was
raised 2 cents a quart several citizens
declared they could not afford to feed
their cats. So they left their tabbies
on the dealers’ doorsteps. One dealer
inherited eight cats in one night.
ID1E FASHION
REVIVES STYLE
t —
(Written for the United Press)
He put his head beneath the quilt
Because his nose was nearly friz.
She put a quilt upon her head
Because the latest style it is.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—This is^just
the freezing season of the year when
folks all want to keep under cover and
draw the quilt well up over their heads.
Quilts have doubtless been worn over
the head in this fashion ever since
the first quilting bee.
No doubt the comfort derived from
{such a procedure inspired our ances
! tresses of revolutionary days to evolve
the snug and close-fitting quilted hoods
and bonnets that they tied beneath
(heir dimpled chins on days of frosty
chill
Madame La Mode, ever on .he look
out for novel ideas, has pounced on
this old quilt head covering habit and
as a result all the feminine swell heads
at Palm Beach, Coronado and the
other winter resorts are to be worn
under quilts this season.
Behold, then, the quilted hat, the
evolution of our grand-dames’ quilted
bonnet. All the Fifth avenue windows
dressed in their Palm Beach clothes
have a quilted hat or two as their
crowning glofy.
The quilted hats come In all forms
and shapes and fancies. If you choose
a close-fitting cocky little chapeau it
is yours all hand-quilted over the top
of the crown and brim in taffeta o”
cotton material in any desirable hue.
If perforce you think a picturesque,
floppy hat suits better your type of
beauty, the wide-brimmed common or
garden variety is yours for the buying,
either quilted over the top or straw
on top with the brim faced underneath!
in shell pink silk, hand-quilted, hi-i
deed, there are great possibilities and!
unlimited fascination in the quilted
hats, and rare will be 'he woman
averse to sticking her head under a
quilt like one of these.
For sheer originality ami audacity a
little hat of turquoise taffeta has the
quilted novelties almost in a state of
collapse. Its trimming consists of a
half-finished knitted band of turquoise
wool part way around the crown.
J&iLe right in front the black
tbpped ivory knitting needles are
thrust across each other through the
rest of the ball of yarn at a rakish
poise and angle.
The only way I see for the quilted
hats to beat this novel trimming is to
try a festoon of quilting bees around
their crowns.
The showing of winter resort frocks
and suits in the windows offers noth
ing so startlingly ingenious or new
as the hats do. In fact, in one shop
whose window's are all adorned with
miniature orange trees to set off the
summery styles, you can't help but
notice quite a few lemons among the
oranges, although no doubt when
donned by some Palm Beach peach or
pippin these sorry and sour-looking
frocks will take on a much more
fruity flavor.
Just as velvet was the material of
the winter styles, so now silk, as pres
aged by these early resort fashions,
promises to be the material de luxe
of spring.
Straight lines and much hand em
broidery in contrasting colors or in
bright tints on white are leading notes
both on dresses and suits. Embroid
ered panels falling from the waist line
over the hips half way or all the way
of the skirts are popular skirt touches
and embroidered panels hanging the
entire front of a gown from the neck
line to the hem are a distinct new
feature of oyster and ivory white pon
gee, tussor and the rough weave Jap
anese and Chinese silks are the cool
looking suits with loose-fitting coats,
sash girdled with tasseled ends.
Gay plaid, striped and polk-dotted
parasols and vlvid-hued Oriental neck
laces and strings of barbaric beads
add the desired touches of color to
these white costumes, with which, of
course, smart white pumps and hose
and a perky white quilted hat are to
be worn.
High-collared, long-sleeved bathing
suits to be worn with face veils so
that no portion of the timid wearer’s
anatomy may suffer from over-ex
posure to a too ardent sun, are among
the many sensational innovations to
he offered up on the sands of the
summer seas; but a far more dashing
and daring confection is a white satin
suit striped vertically and widely in
black on the very short Skirt and
widely and horizontally on the very
low-necked and sleeveless bodice.
There it is in plain black and white—
but not too plain—In a Fifth avenue
window for some to see ere it goes to
a summer sea for some more to see.

FINDS MOLYBDENITE
A rich vein of molybdenite was re
cently discovered by a prospector
about sixty miles from Richardson, in
the Little Delta country, and it was
brought to the attention of the owners
of a tungsten mine. Should the dis
covery prove valuable enough the
whole property will be purchased and
worked by Jacob Meir of Meir, Pardee
