The committee recommends the estab-

women in or near the loop district. with
accommodations for loo women, along the
lines followed in the municipal lodging
house. The cost Of caring for these women
is estimated at $500 a month. The COM

this cost can be met by utilizing the indus
trial skill Of the women thus helped In the
care Of the house and in doing cleaning
laundry work. sewing. mending the prep

work particularly within the sphere and
province Of women which is needed by the
