how Iltelo e had reQu1rc0 N exponoc
and edevf to brink Il about,
In the iIsst place one was struck
with sne~e of order. More care
full workmanship in The construction
Of he building itself than in many
others, Was manifest. The building
floor. tables, benekes, ETC., were
clean. Before the meeting at which
l was to speak the secretaries
quickly went over the tables and the
benches with busters. The secre-
taTies do their own sweeping because
those who had been engaged to do
it often could not get around until
noon or later. Now the whole build
ing is put in good order in the morn
ing. Tables and benches are set in
regular order with attention to lines
and spaces. Cuspidors are set at in
tervals. The sense Of order ut the
counter was a great relief from
much that had seen. All stock
was conveniently arranged under the
counter ont of sight. All samples ON
the counter were arranged in orderly
fashion. Sample picture post -cards
were nailed to board with tasty
arrangement and the stock of cards
was kept back Ut the counter where
the men could not handle them. The
arrangement Of the sample cards
was q striking example of what a
pleasing effect little taste and care
can accomplish.
The platform with lis piano had
been given the effect of an attract
i've stage by tho simple device of
draping little cheap starred red
whitc-and-blnc bunting across the
top. down the sides and across the
front. The white movie screen was
neatly placed on n background Of
black cloth leaving a black border.
On each side OF the stage was n
pedestal formed simply of a section
of oak log with the bark cn--one
long. the other short, one topped with
Il pail holding flowers, tho other
with with box of growing desert
plants. \ couple of little flags A.
dorned the sides OF the stage.
On each side of the building. per-
haps eight or ten feet from the wall
Is row Of supporting posts. On
each of these posts above end-room
brackets were nailed on which were
placed flower boxes neatly made
ont of scraps of lumber, IN which
grew varieties of cncti, vines and
ferns. This is very attractive fen.
tnre. On the posts under these are
nailed small bulletin boards of uni
form size. some of which are used
for announcements, Others have on
them poems or sentiments particu-
larly appealing and helpful TO the
soldier.
All signs are neatly made. Some
pictures from magazine covers neat
~ mounted ON black cardboard were
ON the walls.
No magazines were found scatter
ed around the tables. They were kept
ON shelves beside the counter where
men got them when they wanted
them.
In "pe corner n separate room
had been built which was used as Il
monograph room aud class room.
Records were conveniently arrang-
ed in racks. Al the other side o.
the counter was the secretary's

Dear Recder:
! have now visited nearly all Of
the military camps ON the border.
Among the many things thnt have
imressed me, two stand out strik-
inaly: What those buildings of ours
mean to the men, how they appre-
ciate them. and, ON the other hand.
how much more of a drawing, NOR
nllzing and refining influence they
might exert il they were made It.
little more attractive and home-like.
n thing which can b. accomplished
with very small expenditure of
money and effort.
Those buildings and what they
stand for are the big tie between the
men and home and home influences.
Every tie which strengthens that
bond is II saving influence beyond
all estimation. The building with it,
social aud moral atmosphere is the
necessary basis for the chrisiinnis
ing work which the Association seek :
To do. ! have been surprised and
disappointed to see how few secre-
taries seem 10 appreciate the value
of giving some attention TO makin,
aud keeping the buildings more
home like. In most Of the building
there seems to be an utter disregard
of this important matter. Attention,
j. fixed upon serving the. men over
the counter and through big meetings
bu, the fact that seems to be over
iooked Is that we may create n soft
cniii9, spiritnalizing atmosphere by
the very appearance of the building
itself. i-
The other day ] found in the
building at Deming the concrete H.
lustration of which have IN mind.
so that am impellcd to write you
about il with the hope that We may
get all the men in charge of buildings
to see its value. When stepped IN
to the Demine building was at once
struck with the contrast between il
and almost all other buildings | had
seen. There was striking display
of order and taste. and an ntmos-
phere of homelikeness. II was u
place where one wanted 10 stay. |
wandered about under the spell of
my agreeable impressions, ! was on
the point of askins the secretary
how they succeeded in getting funds
To fix the place up like this. Then I
'~gan 10 note in detail just what had
been done to secure this pleasing eff
feet. Then ] was sstonished TO find

| have seen. lie had bought fol
$3.50 an Ole porcelain lined wash
basin with stopper and had it placed
under water faucet in his room
and attached to drain pipe. ! could
not help feeling how much better
chance one had for leading q home
sick soldier to Christ In the orderly
homelike atmosphere of that room
than one could in many another in
which have had personal inter-
views. Il is true that one can lead
men to Christ on sandhill in the
blazing desert, but 1t Is also true
that the softening touches am
talking about count for much.
Across the building some six feet
from the counter ran a line Of cages
containing the most complete desert
200" ! have seen anywhere. These
animals were well cared for and
much interest was taken in them by
the soldiers.
A unique aud attractive feature
is found near the main entrance to
the building. Il is the Association
emblem outlined BY the various des-
ert cacti. II is very attractive AMI
of great interest. II has been plan
ned with care and taste and is still
being added to, the officers Of vati-
GUS companies being responsible for
securing additional plants.
After my survey | was surprised
to find that of the things which
helped to create the pleasing and
softening home-ilke atmosphere Of
this building. very little required any
expense above that which other
buildings which lack this atmosphere
required. The hunting and some
small flags were about all requiring
any outlay and the bunting cost
$3.50. The essential thing that had
made Of this building home instead
of barn was natural sense Of or
der, or artistic taste, and hate for
dirt, coupled with an appreciation Of
the spiriiualizine influence Of right
environment.
The effect Of this building on the
men is clearly seen. They are proud
of their building. there is much bet
ter corporation in making and keep
ing il what il should be, and its n
ining, softenine atmosphere is in it.
self saving influence, one which
cannot but make the christiamixing
work of the Association easier and
more effective. II is simply taking
advantage of the principle now well
recognized in our city Association
buildings. that of making the Asso-
citation lobby homelike place in
which men instinctively want TO sit
down and stay, instead Of u cold,
forbiddine, marble hall in which one
transacts necessary business and |
passes ont. This lack of our Army |
is one Of the striking i'm |
prcssions made upon me.
Some one may say that many Of /
our secretaries do not have the in
hereni taste necessary to bring a.
bout this easy and inexpensive tans-
formYtion. II is only necessary that |
The secretary should realize its value. |
Among all our troops we have many \
men Of fine artistic taste. II is only |
necessary TO find the man, let him /
pick committee and get busy. They l
will take pride in the task, and all \
he men viii appreciate 1t more a.
heir own creation. Another posi-
'ility is that of getting the coopera- 4
ion Of a few good women in the
community. The very touch Of this
lind with good women has wonder
ally wholesome influence upon the
nen.
Some men will object thai they are
