"GUARD OF DISHONOUR"
. - ■ — ♦ x 1000 WOAIEN IX BLACK TO SHAME B-AOEGOEES. Brisbane, .Tune 13. A striking idea is to be put into effect by the Queensland Women's Recruiting Committee. At Albion Park racecourse on Saturday, .June 23, 1000 women dressed in black, all of whom have relatives at the front, are to line the, approaches to the racecourse and form a perfectly silent guard of dishonour for Tacegoers to pass alo'ng between, while twenty drums will beat a steady "lattoo." i. This is intended as an emphatic pro'test aganst the continuance of horse racing while the war is .on. .During, the/past eleven, days there have been seven days', racing in Brisbane, and on every' one of the four courses the attendances and tofalisator investment records have been broken this month. . .
