SUITABLE BUILDING IS OFFERED

The movement to establish we'll
equipped and virile Young Women's Chris
tan association In Council Bluffs has
passed the point where doubt and anxiety
are permitted to enter into the calcula-
lions of the promoters. With a member
ship of $50, as indicated by that number
of signed cards turned in by the district
workers, who have reported, and several
who are known to have large lists yet
to be turned in, the founders Of the enter
prise feel assured that the membership OF
1000 will have been secured when the time
for permanent organization arrives.
The question of q building has been prac-
tically settled by a generous offer made
by Robert Wallace of the N. p. Dodge
company, representatives OF the whitney
estate to erect a suitable building on the
site of the old wooden structure next to
the Globe building on Broadway, which
was destroyed by fire in June. The Whit
ney heirs, who all reside in Boston, own
several OF the business lots and buildings,
and were contemplating the construction OF
a mercantile structure on the denuded lot,
when the proposition was made TO build 1t
with special reference for use as tn, Young
Women's Christian association headqutr-
ters. 1t was favorably regarded ana Mr.
Wallace authorized TO have the plans 10
fit the requirements of the association and
I'm conformity to the desires of the women.
The building will be two stories and base
ment. The baths showers and plunEes,
and the lockers will be located In the base
ment The front end of the ground floor
will contain the lunch room and business
offices, and the remainder will be devoted
TO the gymnasium This will be equipped
with complete regulation paraphernalta, and
large enough to accommodate eighteen ath-
letic young women at one time. There Will
be rings suspended from the ceiling, hori-
zontal bars, trapezes and other anti-molly-
coddle devices.
The second floor will have reading rooms,
rest rooms, toilets and conveniences that
all women love and which only women
can plan and can provide.
The thorough businesslike methods OF the
women are indicated by the fact that they
have taken steps to get into touch with
the people who have the latest and best
IDEAS in association work, using a part
Of the money raised by selling member
shin buttons and have sent Mrs. Howlette
and Miss McAneny to attend the meeting
OF the National Young Womans Christan
association convention at Lake Geneva
Wis. They will return on the afternoon
of August 26 and at special meeting
TO be held in the Young Mems Christian
association building, will tell what they
have learned.
The association has decided to ask all
of the churches in the city to designate the
first Sunday in September as Young
Women's ChriLtian Association day. and
have services with special reference 10

plated automobile trip to Oakland yester-
day. Twenty-six autos were ready TO go,
but when word came that several OF the
many streams between Council Bluffs and
Oakland were OVERLOOKING and that some
of the bridges were submerged or washed
out the trip was abandoned. The boosters
then set to work to. devise other means Of
carrying out their plans.
During the day Rock Island officials
were communicated with and arrangements
made for a special train to run from Coun-
Gil Bluffs to Oakland Friday morning. A
guaranty Of enough passengers to fill three
coaches was required and these were soon
obtained.
The train will leave the Rock Island city
depot at $3.50 and will stop at every station
on the way with sufficient coaches to
carry all the passengers picked up en- route.
The train will return late in the evening.

Alderman Ellsworth was engaged yester-

constituted the front end of his automobile,
which was clipped off and smashed by

Tuesday night, when he and a party of
friends narrowly escaped being killed or
badly injured.
Ellsworth and his party were returning
from MRnawa and were crossing the rail-
road tracks on Seventh street. where the
streets are not very brightly lighted. Just
as they approached the tracks a switching
crew sent a car over the crossing and Ellis
worth stopped to investigate. Not seeing
any approaching lights and hearing only
the rumble OF what he thought was the dis
appearing car he started over the crossing.
Just as the front end of his auto hit the
rails 1t was struck by a string of swiftly
moving cars that were being switched. The
front end of the auto was smashed, but
none Of the occupants were injured. If the
machine had been moving only trifle faster
a serious accident would have happened.
