, WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY
Mrs. Eugene T. Senseney is one of the many women who. has won an interesting place for herself during these war years. And although her work la very progressive and a branch of government work It is essentially a woman's Job. She has been director of educational and community service for the food administration and is now director of community kitchens. All of which means that she has the Job of establishing and directing public kitchens which are built for the purpose of helping women who must work during the daytime. Some women find it hard to direct their own small kitchen and - those will appreciate the scope of Mrs. Senseney's work who directs not one but many, and not small home kitchens, but large ones which supply whole communities. She has studied thoroughly the demands of each facility and when she establishes her kitchens she takes into consideration the nationality which prevails in that district and serves their particular kinds of food. For Instance, kitchns in Italian districts serve Italian dishes and those in Hungarian, or Polish localities serve Hungarian and Polish foods. Just as the day nursery cares for the working woman's children for a small sum so the community kitchen does her cooking for a nominal fee. At present Mrs. Senseney is in France establishing and directing community kitchens for refugees and factory workers. OUR WOMEN IN FRANCE. All American women working with the army of occupation in the bridgehead district, Coblenz, must be billeted under the American Y. W. C.

IN NICOLt'S ROOM Nicoll himself opened the door suddenly. Without a word Walt stepped Inside and pointed upstairs in the direction of Nicoll's bedroom. His hand had almost the menace of a loaded revolver. V'You go ahead of me!" he said to Nicoll. Nicoll turned and preceded him up the stairs. The thickly carpeted steps gave no sound as the two men mounted. Walt had been Nicoll's guest with Janet at the house before and knew the way. Before the door to Nicoll's own rooms he stopped. ' From within, muffled by walls, came the sounds of a woman sobbing. Walt knew the voice for Janet's. "Go in!" he 6aid to Nicoll. who had turned to him. Nicoll seemed about to speak, tmt changed his mind, and without knocking, opened the door of his bedroom and entered. Walt also stepped in quickly, closed the door and put his back to it. He did not dare look in the direction from which Janet's sobs came. With a leap he was at Nicoll's throat. "Mr. Stedman!" NlcoH's powerful hold on Walt's wrists could not tear off hie strangling hold. But the sound of his name from some one he had not seen and a touch on his arm made Walt turn. A tall, dignified woman in the beautiful prime of life, but of snow white hair, wan at his' elbow. "I am Roy's mother," she quietly said. "You are, I surmise Mr. Stedman?" Walt released his grip on Nicoll. The woman was the image of Nicoll with only the difference in sex. The absolute dignity of her manner had abashed Walt and cleared the red mist in his brain. "I assume you are Mr. Stedman," she went on, as though he had calmly entered the room. "If you are, there Is a messenger looking for you at your rooms. He left here only a minute ago in my son's car. How fortunate that you came as you did! Janet wants you!" Walt stared. Then a cry from Janet, inarticulate, childlike, brought him to her side. Without a word they clasped in an embrace, childlike in the intensity of its sheer relief, in the Hadley will be present and give short talks.

I did not care so much for myself but did not want to leave my three little children who needed a mother's love and care.

Houses have been opened at other ports, Brest, St. Nazaire, Bordeaux, and Le Havre for some time. passionate clinging to each other lest something tear them apart again. "Janet, girl, come home!" Walt said, raising her to her feet. Nicoll stepped forward. "Do you want to . go, Janet?" he asked, with the unaccustomed tremor in his voice again. His mother gave him a quick, concerned look. It seemed as though she were one flesh with her son and felt his wound. "Oh, Roy, dear, dear friend that you are," Janet cried softly, catching his hand and putting it to her wet cheek. "I am going home with my man! But, my dear, I, shall never, never forget you!" Nicoll's hand dropped. Janet turned to his mother. "And you, Mrs. Nicoll, I thank you so much!" Janet said. Walt faced the stately woman. "Mrs. Nicoll, what can I say to you? I I ask your forgiveness!" he stammered. "I am too overwrought to say more." Mrs. Nicoll inclined her head slowly. Walter turned to Nicoll. His hands went out in a gesture of helplessness, of apology, too contrite for expression. Nicoll nodded shortly and stepped aside for Walt and Janet to pass. "I will see you down!" Mrs. Nicoll said, and accompanied the Stedmans to the front door.- But as soon as they were gone she flew upstairs and, sitting -down by the side of .him on the bed, she put her arms gently about him. "Son, dear!" she said softly. "Oh, my boy, my boy!" And the two remained clinging to each other in the room's half light. (To be continued.)

F.W.WOOLWORTH, 10-CENT STORE FOUNDER, DEAD Man Who Started With Cap
ital of $50 Leaves Business Valued at $65,000,000. (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, April 8. Frank W. Woolworth, who started a five and ten cent store at Utlca, N. Y., forty years ago on a capital of $50 and eventually became the millionaire proprietor of a great chain of these stores in the United States, Canada and England, died suddenly early today at his home at Glen Cove, Long Island. In addition to establishing a business with profits said to be nearly $8,000,000 yearly, Mr. Woolworth built the celebrated fifty-one story Woolworth building In Lower New York, said to be the tallest building in the world. He was born on a farm at Rodman, Jefferson county, N. Y., on April 13, 1852. Until he was 21 years old he worked on his father's farm, obtaining a meager education in the district school and later at a business college. His first position was errand boy in a dry goods store and gradually advanced until he became a clerk and salesman during which time he married on a salary of $8.50 . per week. He worked six years in the dry goods business in various stores before a successful bargain counter sale gave him the idea of the possibilities of making substantial profits from nicklo and dime purchases. Forms Business Romance His idea, when broached to his employers was termed visionary and he was advised to stick to the "old fashioned" plan of conducting a store. Nevertheless Woolworth was determined to test his plan and his first venture was at Utica in 1879. He had but $50 in cash and gave his personal note for the goods. In a year he had paid off his debt and saved some money. Closing out his store he located at Lancaster, Pa., and established not only a store but the foundation of his fortune. His rapid rise from a small "pigeon hole" store to the palatial Woolworth building in this city with more than eight hundred branch stores in tho United States, over sixty in Canada and England forms one of the most interesting business romances in the history of the world. The business was incorporated several years ago for $65,000,000. 1 In addition to being president of the firm of F. W. Woolworth & Company, he was the director of a number of banks and business enterprises here. He maintained a residence on Fifth avenue noted for its rare paintings and a country home at Glen Cove. INSPECT POOR FARM County Auditor Howard Brooks and the board of commissioners made the regular quarterly inspection and inventory of the county poor farm, west of Centerville, Tuesday. A vast portion of the working class of Chile's less than 4,000,000 population is engaged in the exploitation of nitre fields in that country. Alkali Makes Soap Bad For Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this i3 pure and entirely greaseless. It is very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in; about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance Vf rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out ?asily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle.
