The visit of the German bowlers to
America will present a complete nov
city, in that team has never trav-
eled across the ocean to take part in
an American bowling event. On the
night the German team rolls, the
Garden will be specially decorated
for the occasion and formal recep.

Besides the reception to be given
the German visitors by the bowlers
of Greater New York, receptions will

societies in the city, such as the

ties and a host of other similarly in
f1uential organizations.
Home for Girls.
Active work was commenced this
week on the big eight-story building
which will be erected by the Sisters
of the Convent of Jesus Mary in West
Fourteenth street to serve as a home
for working girls of education and re-
finement. There are thousands of such
young women in the city who are now
forced by poverty to exist in squalid
and sinister quarters, deprived of all
the Inquiries and comforts which their
hearts crave.
When the new structure is COM
pleted in November accommodations
will be ready for 200 girls and possibly
more. The girls residing there will be
surrounded by every comfort, taken
care of by Sisters whose devotion to
their present charges is self-sacrificing
and affectionate.
The rooms VIII be on the sides of a
wide hall extending from end to
end of the buildingq. At each end
will be a suite and double rooms. The
others will be single. Nothing will
be discernable in the rooms but a
chair, bed, part of a writing desk
and a bureau. All the wardrobes and
other receptacles will be built in the
wall
The girls will be treated to lectures
at least once a week. 1t vial not be
compulsory for them to attend.
The rooms will not be exclusively
for Catholics, the Sisters considering
such exclusion narrow and unjust
They are anxious to help all in need
of assistance. Non Catholics will
not have to attend any of the reli-
gious services, but will have to con-
form to the rules of the house. The
Catholic girls will be expected to at
tend to their religious duties. A large,
well furnished chapel is to be in
stalled in the new building: 1t will
have a large seating capacity and a
roomy sanctuary. Mass is celebrated
by Jesuit Fathers in the present
headquarters in chapel on the first
floor.
On the same floor with the chapel
will be dining room with it's access
SORES. A fine table is to be provided
at which the girls can call for break
fast, luncheon and dinner.
Germs in Bread
That fostering swarms of tuhsrcu-
losis bugs" infest many of the bake
shops of the metropolis is the asser-
ton of experts who have investigated
the subject, and their disclosures
have produced great CONSERVATION in
certaoin quarters. A meeting of wo-
men to discuss the subject and devise
ways and means for scotch;ng the evil
will be held tonight. City health Of
fcials have already taken action against
the proprietors of several unsanitary
bakeries. 1t is alleged that the con-
dition complained of exists only in the
small non union shops, principally in
the lower east side. Most of these little
bakeries are located in dark and damp
cellars, and from the conditions %f
their employment, many of the work
men are afflicted with tuberculosis.
