, cure.”
Mrs. K. M. Anderson, president
of the Athenaeum chib, opened
£ her president’s message at lie ini-
tial luncheon of the club Thurs-
day with Mrs. Joe Bowen.
She stressed the fact that mere
hatred of war cannot prevent
strife but only something defin-
0 ,ite and active can serve as a pre-
ventive.
“The best way to act on this is
by exercising our vote. Women
now have economic inpendence;
they are going to college in

Chapter Meets
Civilians Watch
Army, Navy Nurses
Buy 12C0 Nylons
NEW YORK (UP) — Nylons
were on sale in New York City
today.
But just tt minute, ladies. Don’t
get excited. They were being
sold only to army and navy
nurses in uniform.
Civilians could only stand by
and cast envious glances as the
uniformed nurses crowded the
counters.
The New York department
store that put 1200 pairs of Ny-
lon stockings on sale explains
why civilians were left out In the
cold in the debut sale of postwar
Nylons. The store says this is the j
fairest way to distribute the pre-
cious loot.
Uvea the nurses were lim-
ited to only one pair of Ny-
lons each. But that didn't
dampen lliele enthusiasm. A
navy nurse said — "Oh, hoy,
am I going to wear them! I'm
even going to wear them in
bed "
An army nurse who arrived
J breathless at the stocking count-
er said a civilian lipped her oft
on the street. And she ran six
blocks for her one pair of Ny-
lons.
Meanwhile, civilians jamming
the store to watch the lucky girls
in uniform pick out their Nylons
took It with good humor.
One called out, "let's join th--
army." Another asked wistfully,
“Are they real?”
