CIGARETTES
of IMPORTED and DOMESTIC iobaccos-Blmded
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Keb. 4.—Never be
fore was the scope of vocational op
portunity for women so wide, nor the
chances for even untrained women to
earn money so many and varied ways. I
The advice of authorities on women
in industry, however, is to the effect I
that adequate training is ot ential for]
efficiency today and the war has I
brought into existence many sources'
of instruction for women desirous of*
training for industry.
The type of woman, her mental and
physical ability, will determine large-1
ly her wage-earning power. For the*
woman of fair education the various
lines of clerical work offer a fruitful
: field. The United States civil, service
possibly presents the most favorable
opportunity for this class as the serv
ice of female clerks for the govern
ment is in demand. There is need in
most of the large cities for intelligent
women to fill clerical positions, tak-l
ing the place of men who have gone to
_ l
W •
Ranks are opening their door to wo
men clerks, and offices and commer
cial houses require women in their
filing divisions, for statistical work,
the operation of tabulating machines,
secretarial work, etc. The railroad
offices throughout the country em
ploy women as ticket agents, freight
clerks and in other clerical positions
formerly filled by men. In many cities
the demand for telephone operators is
larger than the supply.
For the woman in the country the
farm offers an opportunity for service.
Women in New York and New Jersey
last summer demonstrated their abil
ity to perform mutually profitable
work in the market gardens, orchards
and even in the grain fields. At the
beginning of the season the farmers
treated with scepticism feminine of
fers of service, but before its close the
women had become a valuable agri
culutral asset in the farming sections
of those states.
For the city woman whose physical
ability is her chief resource in bread
winning, the factories offer many posi- -
tions, although again it is the trained
woman who is in demand in textile
and munitions factories and other cen
ters of labor. Many of the railroads
throughout the country are employing
women in the freight yards for
lighter forms of labor, and they are in'
demand as car cleaners, in which lat-|
ter service they have proven them
selves highly satisfactory. The police
woman is also appearing while oc-j
casionally a woman is to be seen driv
ing a delivery wagon.
Statistics from the city of Detroit
show that within recent months tha
increase in woman service employed i
in factories and workshops is almost |
three times greater than that of men.
In reply to the question: “What can:
women do other than knitting, con-1
serving food and giving voluntary,
service to the Red Cross?”
There is a large field of usefulness (
for the woman who w-ishes to serve,
her country, in Americanizing men,1
women and children of foreign birth
in this country, and every large city]
yields women’s relief committees:
which are in ned of workers. Good
volunteer war work can also be ac
complished by arousing interest in
uie uauuu » war loans—us LUDertyi
Bonds and its War Savings Certifi
cates and Thrift Stamps. Any wo
man with a gift for public speaking
may become a “Four Minute Speaker.” '
Civilian relief for families whose*
men have gone to war offers a large
field for patriotic volunteer service.
Financial aid may be provided, posi
tions may be found for women depend.
1 ents and practical service may be
■ rendered mothers who are compelled
to work in the absence of their hus-l
bands. Child welfare work is a prim-1
ary insurance of the country's wel
fare.
The soldiers returning from battle
will shortly offer an extensive field
for relief work of patriotic American
women. Thousands of crippled men'
must be reconstructed and re-educated. I
Volunteer lay workers can do much|
for the physical comfort of convales-l
cents by giving massage, hy helping
the lame to walk, the deaf to hear and
the blind to see, by reading, by enter
taining and by performing other du
ties to help men who have givgn
themselves to the nation’s cause.
For the patriotic American woman
who wishes to do other work than
knitting, conserving food and working
through the Red Cross, the following
organizations and others of kindred
nature will yield ample information
for relief work:
National Americanization commit
tee, 29 West 39th street; National
[,eague for Woman Service, 105 West I
4fth street; National Security league,
31 Pine street, and National Civic,
iedeiation, 105 West 40th street, all of |
STew York City; National Society T).
\ R., Washington, D. C., and Special j
Aid Society for American Prepared- ^
acts, 601 Boylston street, Boston.
In every state in the Union may be
found units of the Woman s Commit
tee of the Council of National Defense.
These organizations have information i
concerning every phase of the war
w’ork being done by woman. Red Cross
associations are in thirteen districts.

MAIL ROUTE
C. S. Crider, traveling representative
of the Wells-Fargo Express Company,
returned on yesterday's train from the
Interior, and reports that the worst
storm of tho winter has been raging
on the government trail, which has
succeeded in blockading the mail be
tween Fairbanks and Chitina, and an
accumulated supply was due to reach
the latter place today.
Mr. Crider also brings news of the
narrow escape from being lost on the
trail experienced by Robert G. Menzie
of Fairbanks, superintendent of trans
portation of the Northern Commercial
Company, which is directly in charge
of the overland winter mail. As a
number of the stages were tied up on
account of the storm, Mr. Menzie ar
rived on the scene to personally look
after the dispatch of Uncle Sam’s busi
ness. Having traveled over the trail
scores of times, he felt that he was
familiar with every foot of the ground,
and secure in this belief, he started
alone from one roadhouse to go to;
another, where he expected to meet j’
one of his teams blizzard-bound It |
was bitter cold, and in blinding snow j
he got off the trail and wandered in
the woods, having lost his way. As he j
failed to show up at the roadhouse, a i
searching party started out to find
him, which they did just in the nick
of time, as Mr. Menzie was without!
food or blankets and could not have
withstood the wintry blatss much j
longer. The wanderer was taken to a!
place of safety and fortunately he soon
recovered from the effects of his ex
perience in the wilderness.

HEAVY SENTENCE GIVEN
IN BOOTLEGGING CASE
One year in the Anchorage jail and
a fine of $1,000 was the sentence im
posed by United States Commissioner
Leopold David on H. C. Reed at An
chorage on January 24. Reed is one
of the proprietors of the Bank pool
hall, and was found guilty by a jury
of having whisky in his possession.
Immediately after the Imposition of
the sentence, which constitutes jhe
heaviest penalty for the specific of
fense, Attorney William H. Rager,
counsel for Reed, gave notice of ap
peal to the United States district
court. Pending appeal to the higher
court defendant’s bail was fixed at
$4,000.
It required two trials to determine
the guilt of the accused. The first
trial resulted in a disagreement of the
jury, which remained out for nineteen
hours before it was discharged by
Judge David. There were eleven for
conviction and one for acquittal.
Another jury was summoned and a
new trial was held, with the result that '
after deliberating for an hour and a
a half a verdict of guilty was ren
dered.
The evidence in the second trial was
practically the same as in the first.
The chief witnesses were Deputy Mar
shal Harry Kavanugh, who testified to
having seen Reed drink whisky from
a flask, and Reed, who contradicted
the evidence of the officer.
Previous to rendering the verdict of
guilty the jurors asked permission to
view the place where Deputy Kava
naugh said he saw Reed take the
drink. They were escorted to the
Bank pool hall in the custody of Dep
uty Marshal Ralph Reed. Judge Da
vid accompanied the jury along with
Attorney Rager and Assistant District
Attorney J. C. Murphy.

TECKLENBERG FINED
Charles Tecklenberg, a well-known
liquor dealer of Seward, was the first
in that burg to draw the maximum fine
for violation of the Alaska “dry” law.
A telegram from Deputy Marshal Isaac
Evans states that a search was made
of the cellar of the old Seattle bar,
owned by Tecklenburg, and that 600
pint flasks of w'hisky were found there.
Tecklenberg was arrested and taken
before Commissioner William H. Whit
tlesey, who, after hearing the evidence,
fined Tecklenberg the limit of $1,000.
