Whitehead, she said recently. Mrs. Whitehead, probably the first woman to take the title and respon- sibility of a major railroad executive, was appointed by M. H, Cahill, presi- dent of the road, to direct its ser- vice and organization from a wo- man's viewpoint, "After a number of years spent in travelling about the Katy system with my husband," Mrs. Whitehead said, "I found my interest in his work and the railroad had become a major in- fluence in my life. "My appointment as assistant to the president thrilled me, of course, and 1 look forward with eagerness to taking a place in the management of the railroad. Women are taking in- creasingly large part in the manage- ment of other kinds of business and 1 sec no reason why one shouldn't be. come a railroad executive if the op- portunity is offered. I also look for- ward to the remuneration of the posi- tion." Mrs, Whitehead, a comely woman in her early forties, said she had ga- thered a number of ideas about rail- roading in traveling over the Katy lines with her late husband, "I be- lieve my work will deal largely with the problems of women patrons of the railroad," she said. "To be more specific, part of the responsibility for the comfort of women travelers, the dining car service, station comforts, courteous treatment, the appointments of Pullman cars will rest on me." "And about these women that want to smoke in trains?" Mrs. Whitehead was asked. "Oh, 1 imagine they will ask me me about that," she replied with a smile, "We have had complaints from women smokers who said they wanted a place on the train where | they could smoke if they desired." "We also have many women in our What New York Is Wearing By Annebelle Worthngton ILLUSTRATED DRESSMAKING LESSON FURNISHED WITH EVERY PATTERN If you were a gir] in your teens, you'd adore this snappy model with such a grown-up air, It's so straight and slim with gracefuly swinging hem.

George Aston, K.C.B., formerly of the British Na- val Intelligence Department and the Secretariat of the War Cabinet, also refutes the old theory. Sir George, who was entrusted with many of the greatest secrets of the last war, writes favorably of wo- men spies in 'Secret Service." "I agree with those who maintain that women keep gecrets of national importance better than men do," he observes. Sir George gives his reasons for believing that women spies hold their tongues better than men as follows: "There is a stamp of man who wants to earn a reputation fot heing 'in the know' about naval and military affairs, especially in time of war, while taking very little in- terest in the family lives of his col- leagues, With the other sex ft #eema to be the other way round." The employment of women as "pies or as secret agents is not fave ored in Britain, however, according to the writer, The British Goveru. ment disapproves of the woman spy on the ground that there is '"'uncer- tainty in the relationship between the spy and the victim of espionage. Also there is with us a strong ob- jective to subjecting women to the death penalties which would be meted out to them if discovered." When Eva De Bournonville, a Swede in German pay, was tried and sentenced in England she did not lose her life, but was merely put in prison. Once behind the bars, Eva "wrote a letter to ask if she might have in prison her mani. cure set and part of her large ward- robe, adding rather t 'please kindly hang up my dresses and cover them well. Cruel and Ruthless That a woman spy can be cruel and ruthless as any man to gain her |. ends is shown in Sir George's ac- count of the German woman called "Mademoiselle Le Docteur' in France, "The story goes that the Allies gained their principal success against her by introducing a young Delgian, posing as pro-German, in- bition of Scottish Art and rTeas-|to her central office in Aptwerp as her trusted subordinate, and that when she detected the ruse, shot him with her own hand." Mademoiselle Le Docteur much to do with the training of spies in the German spy schools. She Impressed upon her pupils the importance of heiug temperate and sober, If a apy's work compelled him to go to haunts of "pleasure' he must be careful not to get in- volved in any love affair, Mademoi- selle Le Docteur ("Heinrichsen" is believed to have been her original surname) appreciated the danger of introducing the "love" motif into so serious business as wartime es- pionage. She knew, too, that her she | had | enemies employed female counter spies, ' Bir George relates an incident about & Dutchman sent by her to Paris who disregarded her advice, drank too much and revealed se- crets to a French cabaret girl, an agent pf the French Intelligence Department. The strength of Ma- demoiselle Le Docteur lay in her "frenzied devotion" to her mission, according to Bir George, "She faced all risks in its advapcement." Sho did not have to face them mlone, however, as she was always guard- ed by an escort of two men whether she was driving or on foot. Concerning the notorious "Mata Hari" (already described by several biographers), Bir George first tells the various legends which have been circulated about her and then briefly states the known facts gath- ered from the written evidence of her identification papers. She was born ot Dutch parents named Zelle, in Holland. At the age of eighteen she married an officer in the Dutch Colonial Army named MacLeod, He took her to Java, In this tropical spot Marguerite Macleod to dance and fathomed the secrets | of the dancing lore of the East, Mr. and Mrs. MacLeod returned to Holland, lived there for a while | as any ordinary Dutch couple wonld | live. Then Marguerita was aban- doned by her husband, She was left penniless. A few years later | Marguerita, bored with life in a! Dutch village and tired of heing | supported by relations, decided to| go to Paris and danced. She he-! came famous all over Furope as the! mysterious Mata Hari (eyes of the | morning), who knew how to dance | like a temple girl in Java, | The date when she first became a | secret agent for Germany is not! known, B8ir George thinks she act- | od in this new role before the out- | break of the war. When accusea | directly of being a German spy by Beotland Yard ofMcials, Mata Har! declared: "I am indeed an agent: but for! the Boche? No! a thousand times! | It is for France that J act!" | The net result of her cross-exam- { {nation in England was that she | was sent to Spain with some good advice as to her future procedure. | In Spain she was observed to be! much in the company of the Ger- | msn military attache, Mata Hari | herself always succeeded in cover-! ing her tracks, says Sir George. It | was only when a German officer sent her a message to call at a neu- tral legation for a large sum of mo- ney that Mata Hari was caught. She was arrested, tried by court martial and sentenced to be shot. | On the day before her execution she | is said to have bathed and danced. Eight other German spies were | condemned to death in France, and probably were executed, | | Expelled From Socialist Party | The Barnsley Socialist Party has expelled Alderman Herbert Smith, the Yorkeshire miners' president, and his son, Councillor Harold Smith, from its activities because they voted against the party council on the question of a covered market, | "Contiavention of Orders' The report of F.
