CHICAGO — Congenial creative
work and greater cultural educa
tion are brought within reach o£
every ambitious girl by the chap
eroned down-town girls' Club ol
recent years, according to Mias
Mary L Downes, High Chief
Ranger of the Women’s Catholic
Order of Foresters.
“The Women’s Catholic Forest
ers’ Club here in Chicago has been
the means of opening thousands of
doers for girls who work.” Miss
Downes said. “Miss Catherine
Kayes, manager of the club, and
AT the CLUO
Miss Mary Sheridan, cashier, both
comment on the large number ot
girls who come in from their omce
work, have dinner, and go on to
night classes. They are girls wh*
were obliged to go to ^ork
young as possible. They had to
learn the thing that promised th
best salary with the least rrepara
tion. Some girls put aside secret
ambitions to do this. Seme of them
develcped ambitions after they be
gan work. _ , ., .
“The Foresters’ Club which
serves excellent meals at reason
able prices, and provides an attrac
tive waiting place between gSc#
and class hours, makes -t possible
for these girls who live at a dis
tance from the down-town district
to attend night classes when other
wise staying down town irequeatiy
would be impossible.*

DIRIGIBLE SOARED OVER TELLER TWO O'CLOCK THIS A. M.
ALASKA RADIO STATIONS FAIL IN EFFORTS TO
COMMUNICATE WITH NORGE—SHIP EQUIP
PED WITH SPECIAL WIRELESS SET
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15. (AP).—The War de
partment announced the dirigible Norge has arrived at
Teller.
VANCOUVER, B. C., May 15. (AP).—The Norge ar
rived at Teller, about 50 miles north of Nome, at two o’
clock this morning, American eastern standard time. All
aboard are well and everything else was reported okeh.
No indication as to whether the Norge will be brought to
earth was obtainable.
MOSCOW, May 15. (AP).—All radio stations along
the Arctic coast of Eastern Siberia have been trying to
communicate with the Norge’s success. The government
has ordered military and civil authorities to give every
possible assistance in case the dirigible appeals for ale in
Soviet territory.
CHICAGO, May 14. (AP).—Radio engineers here
said tne iNorge carried radio equipment capable of keep
ing in touch with one point or other from any position be
tween Alaska and Spitzbergen if electrical conditions per
mit. The ship also carries a direction finder and is
equipped with a sending and receiving set especially con
structed for the flight by the Marconi Company. Its send
ing range is 1000 miles under favorable conditions and it
can exchange messages with any point up to 2000 miles.
CORDOVA, May 15. (JP)—'The Naval- _
radio station at Cordova established a
continuous watch over a 900-meter
wave length used by the Norge in pre
vious transmissions. Either the air
ship has had difficulty or the flight
has been so successful and conditions
so favorable that Amundsen is cruis
ing around the Arctic in search of land
which would be quite consistent with
the method used in his previous expe
dition.
FAIRBANKS, May 15. (JP)—Lieut.
H. G. Messer, radio officer in charge,
again directed all stations in Alas
ka to maintain an unceasing vigil to
signal the Norge. He also requested
citizens in all towns where the sig
nal corps has a station to keep close
watch for the dirigible in the event
she is disabled and her radio not func
tioning.
NOME, May 15. (>P)—Snow fell to
day.
The Signal Corps has been unre
mitting in its efforts to reach the
Norge due to the report she had been
seen passing Point Barrow headed
south. It is believed Amundsen 'may
have discovered land in the uncharted
area and came to Barrow to check his
bearings before mapping same. In all
likelihood he will spend considerable
time in the heretofore unknown re
gion to determine the drift of the ice
pack which was one of the missions
of the schooner Maude on its Arctic
voyage of two years ago. Xo anxie
ty whatever has been felt here for the
safety of the dirigible or crew.
Visibility has been poor for several
days which may account for the dela *
in arrival here. Should any mishap
occur in “the friendly Arctic,” Am
undsen is perfectly able to live off of
the country.
