The subscriptions come from the general public,
business especially who appealed to each year
for degree Of support the broad ground of public
service.
So that those who are appealed to may know just
what the association is doing, The Herald here briefly
summarizes its activities and its annual budget.
Last year the association received from all sources
$685. of which about $500 from the general
public and the balance from members in fees dues rent
board etc Last year the total disbursements were
S1sO61 leaving net gain on the years business OF
S1675. This however only little more than Offset the
deficit of the previous year. 1915 began about
The activities of the Y. VIC. A. last year included
general social service and personal help educational
classes, gymnasium aid to travellers, maintaining
and lunch for workers, boarding home for
working girls and students, vacation home at Cloud
croft, and religious work.
This year is desired to extend the social service
and personal help the educational classes, and the
boarding home department, and to lay something BY
toward the sinking fund indebtedness.
The budget for this year is estimated at S2O86O, Of
which It IS expected that all but about $500 will be
received from members the various activities Of the
association The public is asked to make up, through
subscriptions sustaining memberships and Tag day
tributions a part of the purely administrative cost
In other words, the association will ask this year
from the public about $500 than it received last
year. but the other hand is expected that between
$500 and $1,000 will be saved out of the years operations
for the sinking fund.
Remarking that all the semi-cOmmercal
activities of the Y ". C. A wholly self supporting,
is interesting to Just what done last year
with the money spent.

hands; there were many nvalids and old people, TO
whom the helping hand at the station most vel

the word that helped them to avoid annoyance There
a whole story in this branch Of the work alone.
The rest room and gymnasium have saved many girls
from illness exhaustion they have actually saved to
the working girls and Of the city great many
dollars time worked which might have been time lost
Those who have had the benefits Of this work testify
that they lose less time at their work than they for
mery did. The employers notice the difference, and
of the large merchants regard the Y " C. A. as
efficient aid in their own business.
In the boarding home, a great many girls have had
the benefit of home care and influence who Otherwise
would have been thrown their resources; they
have had home good board, and social life which they
would have missed elsewhere and they have been safe
The educational classes have enabled girls to increase
their earnings and improve their skill The lunch room
has furnished suitable food nominal cost to those who
need and appreciate the service; but 1t has done much
more than that-it has actually been an important
social feature WELL and many friendships have been
formed there.

advantages and economy become known By economy,
mean not merely saving money, but saving health

IF YOU know any reasons Why the girls and young
women Of FL Paso should not have the same fadl-
tiles for recreation and education as the boys and
young men have in the Y N. c. A, prepare to use
them, for several committees of Y ". C. A workers
are after you right now Like so many other me1tOr
Gus institutions the Y W. C. A doesn't need very much
but it needs that little very much
The Y ". c. A. has been established here long
enough to have become an important factor in the life
the city It's affairs are directed by about 80 repre-
sentative women who cooperate through interlockng
boards with all the other local institutions of service
Besides the so women there is an occasional husband
who looks wise and tells the wife how to run it. "Lfe"
remarked that it womans habit to conceal her
profits and talk about her deficits. Well, it is some
thing to have profit to conceal That what makes

does not affect the net financial result of years Oper

and for which fees charged are all the time in

grows, and as the need and opportunity grow.
So this week the committees are at work with
double object: First to increase the membership:
second to increase the amount of subscriptions to the

Nearly 5000 meals were served in the lunchroOm-
Weekly attendance at gymnasium classes was g.
The travellers aid bureau assisted 1900 persons.
At the Coudcroft summer home $50 girls were given
outings at nominal expense.
Nearly 40 young girls the average attended the
"story hours"
A large number Of juniors pursued their Campfire
activities under the leadership of guardians.
An employment bureau served the public every day
and placed many girls and in employment.
There was a series of health talks by physicians;
1900 persons attended the social gatherings
more on the average attended the religious meetings
The rest rooms were used by many girls every day,
for refreshment quiet, sleep, and reading.
This year. while it is intended to widen the activities
in number of ways It is expected to institute econ
omies and increase the revenue certain particulars
that the budget only $500 above last years while
the public is asked to contribute only 500 Of this IN
crease, or $500 in all.
In the educational department, the activities include
classes in dressmakng millinery Spanish, first aid"
and health and a Choral club In the gymnasium work,
fencing and eshetic dancing taught, well the
usual floor and apparatus work, games, etc There
classes for children juniors working girls and business
women The fees nominal and the attendance con-
santly increasing Saturdays during the winter, hkes
are taken.
All this gives but a slight indication Of what the
work of the Y W C. A really IS. When 1t is said that
1900 persons were assisted by the travellers aid bureau,
few stop to think that that 1900 life stories
affected in some way, and sometimes IN a very vital
way. Among the 1900 were very many unattended
