GIRLS SEEK HOMES.

Ruth and Helen Davault, left Tuesday, accompanied by Frank Davault, for Holly, Colorado, near which place they will take up homesteads. Frank Davault will build two houses for the girls. It is their plans to remain on the claims seven months of the year. The two Pratt pioneers will not be alone as there are several persons near them, former residents of Pratt. The Misses Davault have been employes of the New Method Laundry, for some time. Miss Ruth had been book-keeper and Miss Helen bundle-wrapper. Their father is an employe of the Express company. They will endeavor to obtain employment at Holly, during their absence from the homesteads.

A WOMAN GAME WARDEN

Topeka, Aug. 22 -- Miss Helen DeVault, an expert with a rifle, is the first woman to be named as an active game warden in Kansas. Miss DeVault, for several sessions of the legislature, served as clerk of important committees and in recent months has been in the governor's office. Besides her usual duties as a fish and game warden Miss DeVault also is director of visual education on game life and will lecture before women's clubs, sportsmen's clubs and other organizations which may want to hear about the wild life of Kansas. The department has a set of motion pictures which may be used in connection with her lectures.

Woman Warden Likes Outdoors

Helen DeVault Qualifies For Her Position

Miss Helen DeVault, of Pratt, who has the distinction of being the first woman in the United States to be appointed deputy state game warden, was here this week attending the state 4-H conservation conference.

"I love outdoor life and wild game," she said. "I guess that is the reason I was appointed. One should be a lover of the great outdoors to be a good game warden."

So far as Miss DaVault knows there are only two women in the United States wearing the badge of deputy state game warden. The other is in Connecticut. Miss DeVault was appointed two years ago, and for at least a year she was the only feminine warden in the country.

Can she make arrests? She not only can, but does. Don't let her catch you violating the fish or game laws. She'll lash that badge on you without mercy. And she carries a gun as a peace officer when necessary, too.

But the shooting she does, in an official capacity, is mostly with a camera. She brought a moving picture machine to the 4-H club camp here to show the boys and girls pictures of some of the state's parks and preserves. Most of the views are of the Scott county state park, incidentally. She hopes to have more, from the other parks before long.

"We are proud of the work that is being done in Kansas for preservation of wild life and for stocking our streams and lakes." she remarked. "But we are just beginning."

Photo Caption:

The honor of being the first woman deputy game warden and fish commissioner of the United States, it is said, goes to Helen DeVault, pretty Kansas girl, who was appointed to the post by Gov. Alfred M. Landon as a move to encourage women to indulge in the art of hunting and fishing. Although she is now stationed at the state's fish hatchery at Pratt, part of Miss DeVault's duties will be lecture work before various women's clubs.
