DALLAS MAYOR
ADMITS ERROR
L __ .. -
Reinstates Woman Welfare
Adviser After Storm
* Of Club Protests
to ALLAS. Aug. 7.—Miss Mil
dred Dougless, free legal aid wel
fare worker for Dallas, is regarded
by the city’s organized club women
as a more valuable aid to domes
tic bliss than all Dallas ministers
together.
The significance of her work pro
bably was not realized by Miss
Douglass herself until her SlOO-a
month job was abolished a short
time ago. Now shes back at her
po6t, however, reinstated. Mayor J.
Waddy Tate has admitted public
ly. that he made a mistake.
A tide of indignation arose when
Miss Douglass’ job was deleted from
the city payroll. Club women
from organizations representing 25.
000 voters confronted Mayor Tate
with petitions demanding that she
be retained. The voters held sway
and Miss Douglass came back.
“Ail the ministers do is marry
them,” t£* public petition said. In
effect, referring to her work as a
mediator. “Miss Douglass keeps
them together.”
During her three years' service
as a humanizing influence at the
city hall. Miss Douglass has averted
divorces in approximately 50 per
cent of domestic cases brought to
her attention. Hundreds of desert
ed wives have sobbed their stories
to her.
She also has found time to wage
a determined war against Dallas
loan sharks. Hundreds of the city’s
poor. In financial straits and har
assed by unscrupulous money lend
ers. have found a friend in Miss
Douglass.
L While her work primarily lies
outside the court room. Miss Doug
lass has proved herself an astute
attorney when her efforts to effect
reconciliations have failed.

Finds White Sheep
With Black Tails
SA ND1EGO. Cal., Aug. 6.—C^P>—
Wild white sheep with black tails
were the lure which took Robert
Prothingham Into the Yukon and
through almost Inaccessible parts
ol the Campbell mountain range.
The former New York magazine
executive succeeded in bringing
down with a rifle an old ram of the
species for which he searched.
The Campbell mountains lie be
tween the head waters of the Pelly
river and Prances lake, which is an
unfailing reservoir for Prances riv
er. This district is right on the di
vide between the Yukon river and
the Liard river.
