O. M'INTYRE (Special Correspondent of The Dispatch) . New York, June 21. Women are i -responding nobly in New York to the places made vacant by men called to ,the service. In the garages they are 'working at night cleaning automobiles for the next day's use. It is hard :work and unpleasant, but the women .do not seem to mind. Fifteen women are running the ele . vators in the Waldorf. They are driving taxicabs, running street cars, acting as bellgirls in hotels,-and do ing many other services heretofore done by men. There is only one iplace where' ap parently women have failed, and that ;is in the pawnshops as clerks. In no pother line of human endeavor, unless it be in the maintenance of cathe . ..drals along a fighting front, has the . ' big noise over the water wrought such Tiavoc as it has with the kindly uncles ;who throw life preservers to the .broke. The women who are clerking in the , ;'pawnshops it is claimed, have too ', Tnuch sympathy. "See nothing, hear nothing, say nothing," are the three Imystic maxims of the guild of three- ?ball, clerks. Being a sphinx is the v-flrst requisite of a good clerk for a generous uncle. The women clerks had no intensive V " draining in silence. It followed that pne whole neighborhood on Tenth ave nue became possessed of the lnforma- - jtlcra that one woman had pawned her 'shoes, another her false hair and an other her- "band of sorrow," the same V- ! being the pawnbroker's designation for , "ffa wedding ring. r" The women want to bring charity into the pawnbroking business, which, as everybody knows, is like trying to make-: matches In a smokeless powder rlL ? The; sociable feature of the v voman t pawnbroker; who probably is - ' entitled traditional relationship to be called an aunt, is an added diffi ' ; culty. - f - t . - The uncles are satisfied that women ..'will never do for the delicate and con ; fidential work of catering to a busted ; : community. They are now trying to make5 some plan by. which boys under 18 can be hired. v ' I Ott the Bowery "' where at night - bells'? ring1 in f ron of pawnshops to .. guide those of v f .steady feet the clerksiT a fc,rvlbt.

There is not an arrival of mail at The Dispatch office that does not bring a communication from some new candidate, and all signs are point ing to the fact that the campaign will have many competitors for the vari ous awards. This should be for the reason of quality of the gifts such as the Studebaker Six, the Chevrolet, the two Victor VIctrolas, the two Sewing Machines, the four chests of silver, the two Eastman Kodaks, jtne two solid gold ladies' wrist watches, and not to mention a check to each partic ipant for five per cent, of collections on subscriptions, that does not" re ceive a gift. Never in the history of the Old North State and even the neighboring Palmetto State has ever enjoyed such a wide distribution of gifts of such costly k value as The Dis patch is now offering, so great activ ity should be displayed by all the candidates, because gifts as above mentioned are not to be secured every day with such a comparatively small display of effort as can be manifested in The Dispatch campaign.

Opposite was a distin guished looking lady with a lorgnette and everything, and she was industri ously knitting a rose-colored sweater. The corpulent passenger watched her through half-closed eyes and now and then he snorted in disgust. At length he could not contain himself further and he called out: "Excuse me, madam, but don't you know there am t no soldier going to wear that damn thing? A soldier in a rose-col- ofed sweater would be drummed out of camp. This is a he war" and then apparently remembering himself, he bowed apologetically and lumbered off the car -unsteaily. The passengers laughed and the woman, white-faced, continued hei knitting. Over on Fulton street, in Brooklyn, there is a sign in front of a sign-paint ers establishment which reads: "We made signs long before we could talk Again they are talking about the tipping evil and a cure for the hat pirates. The cure is simple. Let the public refuse to tip. That is all there is to it. There is no other way. The public started it by a spaghetti-legged policy and now it is up to the public to stop it. It is no more than right that hotels and restaurants should take care of hats and wraps without exacting a gouge. Peace Demonstration. London, June 20. Heavily censored private messages received in Stock holm indicate that peace . demonstra tions were held recently in Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne and that sev eral workmen were killed and many persons arrested, says a dispatch to Tne Morning Post from Stockholm.

Colored Meeting (Special to The Dispatch.) Raleigh; June 21. Food administra tors from nearly all of the counties sat Wednesday and heard a trial in -Henry Page's office wherein WinstonSalem citizens, the one, contributed $100 to the Red Cross and the other took as a classic a cussing, as Henry Page ever gave Josephusj Daniels, Judge Walter Clark or Lee S. . Overman, United States senator. ' The administrators had been here all the night. They spent the day, in fact, and listened to -a ruling of s Mr. Page that seems to imperil the dope parlors and the foaming drinks jerk ed from marble founts. Many drug gists have sent in their death war rants to be signed. The order of Mr. Page that such businesses as had not squared themselves to June 10 on their allotment of sugar to be used in these soft drinks, would cease oper ations until January 1, 1919. Such others as had over-used their allot ment but are trying to get right can continue after they catch up. All of them will now be held down to 50 per cent instead of 80 of their last year's supply. The trouble with those who go out of it is that they hve not furnished Mr. Page their 1917" use of sugar. And Marse Henry is counting them out at the end of the first round. Wenesday the administrators, still working on the food problem, saw how a court of Marse Henry is con ducted. First came the operator of the Polite candy kitchen, Winston- Salem. There wasn't much ceremony. He had violated the rules and agreed to pay $100 to the Red Cross. That . A. was easy, it was open ana snut. But M. Sallock, Italian, was harder. First of all he could not understand well. He appeared to be unconscious- y slow to comprehend. Mr. Page had inquired into his sugar supply. It seemed to be near the point of safety. But he had too much flour, too few cereals. He gave evidence of having lived a bit high. Mr. Page flew onto him. There was no law for his case, but Marse Henry Intimated that Wln- ston-Salem, even with its 51,000 peo ple, hasn't enough territory or resi dences to hold him and Mr. Sallock With the terrifiic application of the text, Marse Henry lifted his hands in benediction and dismssed the congre gation. Thft result of conferences was the sanctioning of the cash and carry sys tern, whereby much' of, the labor sup ply will be! released. The admlnistra-i tors attended n much the largest num bers yet gathered in Raleigh on such a conference. In Governor Bickett's office Wednes day a conference of colored men and women interested in advancing his ef forts to get every worker and the job cut out for such laborer together, re sulted in about the most earnest look ing lot of folks signing up that have yet come here to tackle any proposi tion. Dr. George E. Haynes, director of negro economics and sent out by the department of labor at Washington, ottended the meeting and stated the object of it so well that Governor Blckett declared it one of the most il luminating statements of the purposes of the department he has heard. ' Dr. Haynes was a member of a group in which were Bishop George W. Clinton, of Charlotte; Dr. James E. Dudley, of Greensboro; Dr. A. M. Moore, Charles C. Spaulding and John Merrick, of Greensboro; Bishop H. . DeLaney, of Raleigh; James H. Young, J. D. Hall, Berry O'Kelly, all colored, and M. C. Newbold and George J. Ramsey, representing the schools and the labor department for the state, ment. Dr. Haynes in representing the government declares that three things are placed before the colored man. The first is by way of relating labor to winning the war; the second is the co-operation of the whites and the col ored people, and the third is teaching the colored man what victory in this war means to him. This is the message that will be carried to the farthest corner of the state. The representation here was as fine as the peace affords. Dr. Haynes is. a southern man and his cap acity for clear and cogent statement very much impressed Governor Bick ett, who spoke of it often in the meet ing. Their problem is reaching the, ut termost man, of course, and it is even hardet rhari the'white man's. Governor Bickett declared that he has not seen a body that appeared to be more deeply patriotic. Colonel James Young, noted politician in an older day, declared to the colored people that nobody who knows the governor doubts his service to all the people. The call of Governor Bickett for this conference was the follow-up of that several weeks ago when the whites came and adjourned without so much resulting. Inasmuch as there is but little machinery for accom plishing what is desired, it all rests with public opnon wheh Governor Bickett is doing his utmost to arouse. The funeral of James C. Birdsong, who died yesterday, was held this af ternoon from the First Baptist church. Mr. Birdsong was the oldest of the lo cal printers but until a few weeks ago he was, the least an apparent victim of disease. He had not followed the trade In recent years and had retired with his family on Morgan street. He was a native of Virginia and was 75 years old. Tomorrow is the big day.

You May Find It In Stocking Cincinnati authority says your troublesome corns just loosen and fall off Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes just loosen in their sockets and fall off the next day if you will apply directly upon the corn a few drops of a drug called freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. You merely put a drop or two of this freezone oh the tender, touchy corn today and instantly the corn stops hurting, then tomorrow some time you may find the old torturous pest some where In your stocking, having fallen pff entirely without a particle of sore ness, pain or irritation. The skin sur rounding and beneath the former corn will be as healthy, pink and smooth as the palm of your hand. A quarter ounce of freezone is suffi cient to rid one's feet of every corn and callus, and any druggist will charge but a few cents for it. It is a compound made from ether. Adv.
