DORA CREATES REGULAR
FURORE IN PITTSBURGH.
AMID the fanfare of the trumpeC and the bugler's call, Dora Rodrigues, the Universal Girl, the only girl recruiter to whom Uncle Sam can lay claim, marched from the downtown section of Pittsburgh, last Tuesday, to Memorial Hall. Dora has met with cordial and enthusiastic receptions in other places which she has visited on her trans-continental hike from New' York to Universal City, for the purpose of stimulating recruiting for the army and navy, but the excitement which she aroused on that day surpassed anything which she has encountered on her eventful tour.
Great throngs lined the streets, all anxious to catch a glimpse of the girl who possessed the courage and determination to walk all the way from New York to California. Dora looked the picture of health and "fitness" as she marched, supported by stalwart fighting men of all branches of the service.
Five hundred school children gave her a great send-off, each waving a flag, while students of the high schools were out en masse to greet her. On the steps of the new City-County Building she was received by Mayor Joseph G. Armstrong, to whom she handed a letter from a well-known veteran of the Civil War.

Later she entered the Cameraphone Theatre, where she appeared daily for the rest of the week, giving spirited talks on recruiting.
All the officers of the military units in the city, including the army, navy, marine corps and Eighteenth regiment, were on hand to greet and congratulate Dora on the success of her mission. She recruited eleven men at the Cameraphone Theatre the first day. She was the guest at a dinner given by the F. I. L. M. Club, and attended wearing the uniform which she has adopted for her tour. She was welcomed by the president and officers of the club, and several members made speeches to which she very prettily replied.
On Friday, June eighth, the Naval Reserves, two hundred strong, which have been in training for two years, were scheduled to leave the city, and Dora was invited to be present at their departure, to shake each man by the hand, and make a little speech to each one. The officers in charge suggested this, as they thought that the sight of the interpid girl would cheer those whom the boys left behind.
