A synopsis Of an article published in
the Association Monthly, on Progress
IN the Economic Department of the Y.
w, G.. A." is given herewith from the

AIRY OF the national board.
The article In part IS ms follows;
a The first great step OF progress has

It's activities In q more permanent
way, than ever has been possible.
Volunteer workers, men and women
have become marvellously able to in
form others of facts and to express
with clearness their conviction that
the purpose Of association work is
true ana of practical far reaching
value through It's varied interests. The
growing membership is composed
largely of those h are attracted be-
cause they can be co-workers, not
lbeneficiarios and in the great struggle
for money those who have fretted and
been a~ntaecnized by being thought to
be wanting the loaves and fishes mere
Nv, have been included among those
who are realizing that It is indeed
More blessed to give than To re-
lceive.'
The progress In business manage

the fiscal year for all money needed

that no debt Is their continuing am

plause and "a God-speed.
The progress In opening noon-rests
has been pronounced because every
new association with a few exceptions.
has arranged to minister to business
igirls through this means at the EARL
est stage OF their work. Older assoc
citations are rapidly acting on the con-
viction that many centers instead OF
one are to be theirs and have begun
"a chain Of cafcterias or dininErooms
Iwhere young women can have privacy
and restfulness during e~attneialso
where they can have the little siesta
afterwards, as we'll rs some good read
lings. music. friendly chatting etc, in
the recess from pounding q Typewriter,
taking dictation, or finding everything
which most particular customers must
have. II any association seems temp
ted TO admit men rs regular patrons,
let them take "a word of kindy adj
vice and decide finally better not.
Not for commercial REASONS does the
association run lunch-rooms All the
reasons are altrustic and the wrong
thing done may cause question and
regret in the minds of those whom
we wish to hold as uncritcai friends.
Take Care.
Remember that when your kidneys
nre affected. your life Is i'm danger.
