An unusual case of disguise was frustrated recently, after a Mrs. Ogle had been working for some days as a man in the naval construction works at Barrow, in Lancashire. Dressed in labourer's clother and overalls, with a wig and false moustache, she passed muster for a time among - several thousand employees in the yard, and earned commendation as an excellent worker. At the end of a normal day of nine and a-half hours at carrying timber she volunteered for overtime. After three days, however, one of the workmen, noticing her slight build, became suspicious, and asked her how frequently she shaved. The new hand then confessed to an official that she was_ a woman, giving her reason for choosing this strange method of earning her living. She has been proved to be a splendid worker, and has been given work as a shell maker. Mrs. Anne Potter, an old lady of 97, died in Palmerston on Saturday morning.
