FIRE DAMAGES STORE AT HENDERSONVILLE Celebrated Mr. and Mm. Shinnian Golden Wedding Anniversary, The secretary of the T. W. C. A. has received notice from headquar ters of the association to help wo men who held positions during the war and have since lost them on ac count of not being needed. The as sociation throughout the country are investigating the opportunities for women who held positions of respons ibility during the war and wish to utilise the experience In post-war work. The Y. W. C. A. in other cities have received many applications from trained women for employment, con sisting of personal work, for publicity or advertising, and for work requiring linguistic ability. The association has been unable to place all applicants and will eon duct a suvey, financed by the war work council, to determine what stores, factories, export firms, and so forth that are in need of women experts along the above lines. The first branch which the assoc iation completed, for New York and vicinity was that in department stores, where opportunities for edu cational directors and employment managers were Investigated. The number of trained women in such positions, was extremely small, as compared with some of the manufact uring districts In other parts of the country, For women who cannot leave their homes to go into business, or who, be cause of age or personality, are unfit for positions outside the home, the association has collected information about all exchanges and shops where articles made at home may be sold. A survey of non-commercial employ ment agencies, as well as some which charge fees, will also be made so that the Central Branch Employment bu reau may avoid duplication, and may know to, what agencies to refer appli cants who desire positions not avail able through its own service.

There are many other routes south than the one via Huntavllle, deolared Secre tary Buckner last night, which means that not only $06,000 was lost the past month because these' automo bile tourists did not come this way, but infinitely many times more, and as soon as the line In Cocke county. xenn., ana Between Lexington and Knoxville is completed, Ashevllle may look for such an influx of automobile tourists as will fill the city.
