T. Other Services By JOAN LITTLEFIELD (Released by North American Newsaper Alliance, Inc.) LONDON, Feb. 10. It is such a common thing now to see women in uniform walking quietly and efficiently about our towns and villages that no one turns his head to look after them. Many hundreds of girls, who, six months ago, were working in shops and offices or living a carefree life at home, have joined the women's auxiliary services.

They are either in W. A. T. W. R.

N. S. or W. A. A.

F. The first group Women's Auxiliary Territorials wear khaki and work in conjunction with the army: the second group Women's Royal Naval Service wear dark blue suits with tricorne hats; the third group Women's Auxiliary Air, Force wear air force blue with a peaked cap. These groups work for the navv and air force, respectively. The girls live a camp life, getting up at 6:30 a. with lights out at 10.

They work as stenographers. car drivers, cooks and in many other capacities. After making their beds and tidying their rooms in the best boarding-school manner, thev begin their day proper with drill. Saluting, they don't find so easy, and they must all A "private" gets abo'it S2 a week, in addition to bed and board. i When their d.iv's v.

rk is done they get up a dance sometimes if they are not too tired and invile i some of their men colleagues to it. i But they must never appear nut of uniform, even when on leave, and most of them have put away 'heir pretty clothes till the end -f the war. They are invited to t'n c.irr.p concerts and r.f-en tin-f hoy are asked by the men to snnri rme of their nrecinus hour of leisure in mending or conking them. It is a hard life but a healthy one. and not many of the girl find (h strain ton much.

Thev set only 48 hours' leave a month. Many of the girls are anxiou-- to and a number of them are likely 'n do so The W. R. N. S.

work mostly at British por' and. though they do not live in camp, their routine is much the same. Girl Reserves To Have Conference In Tucson March2 Assembling from various Y. C. A.

Misses Mary Rielly, Cecelia SwarthoutTo Sing Feb. 19 Metropolitan Star Will Appear at U. A. Next Week Grand opera's exhibit A in good looks, pep and personality, Gladys Swarthout, who will give a concert at the University of Arizona auditorium Monday evening, February 19, on the university concert-lecture series, brings with her a message for young songbirds. "If you have an urge to sing," says Miss Swarthout.

"sing. Don't be self-conscious about your voice. Don't wait until a more convenient time to cultivate it. Make your sacrifices now if they are necessary. Get started on your singing career.

It's a long, long trail. The sooner you start the sooner you will arrive." Miss Swarthout started her career in a Methodist church choir in Kansas City at the ripe age of 13. "The choir master thought I was 19," she says with a reminiscent chuckle. "I just let him go on thinking while I went on singing. As a matter of fact, I can't remember when I started in song it must have been cradle time." Metropolitan Star The Metropolitan opera that impressive buff brick building in New York's forties which is the castle of dreams come true for ambitious singers has heard some of Miss Swarthout's most brilliant musical triumphs.

Time and time again she has defrosted the fabulous "Golden Horseshoe" in the Met, the charmed half-circle where the socially sacrosanct come to see, to be seen and take their opera in such doses as pleases their fancy. Like the ''Gerry 'Farrar) Fans," the "Gladys (Swarthout) Fans" acclaim their heroine from the "Golden Horseshoe" as well as from away up there under the roof. They come early and stay late. They swarm the wings backstage after the final curtain, clamoring for a smile, a wave of the hand, a glimpse, even, of their favorite. Miss Swarthout never lets them down.

Her friendliness, her warm-heartedness is traditional in the temple of Orpheus where temperament is thicker than a pea-soup fog in a London byway. Mignon' Favorite As far as her favorite roles are concerned, Miss Swarthout claims that right now it is "Mignon," and adds, "but the choice is transitory. 'Carmen' is coming up strong and may nose 'Mignon' out at any moment. I've done 'Carmen' once, in November, with the Chicago Opera company, and hope to have the thrill of singing it opposite my husband, Frank Chapman, my favorite baritone." Miss Swarthout confesses that mutual interest, mutual endeavor make for even greater home harmony between husband and wife. "My husband and I speak the language.

Our very life is in music and we live it together. Imagine trying to talk Wagner to a tired business man just home from a long day's grind at the office! Married couples headed for a mutual goal are fortunate." No New War Songs A timely comment on world conditions today is Miss Swarthout's comment that the present war has as yet produced no new war songs. "I've been listening for a new war song, but so far we've had only the old ones. I suppose that is because the World war is still so close to us. War always brings out stirring music.

Frightened, confused people with the threat of war hanging over them or with the blot of war on them turn to music for escape. I hear they are singing 'Tipperarv' and 'Over There' on the western front. The one who writes a nations war songs does his country as great a service as the general in command of all the armies." Swarthout is a nut-brown maid, deep, lively brown eyes, a light brown, long bob, suntan. When she is not singing or working at songs, she is out in the open, engaged in some form of athletics! to keep in form. "A hike a dav keeps the doctor away," is her health formula.

Porters' Fashion Show Is Planned Porters' "Pre-rodeo parade" will be a feature of the week for manv Tucson women and visitors here. The event is being planned for 3 oclock Thursday afternoon at El Conquistador hotel, and it will include a parade of western riding togs and sportswear, as well as tea.
