 The Young Women's Christian As sociation not only looks after the spiritual, mental, and physical needs of it's girls, 1t does more, it houses many of it's members and boards still more. This past year about thirty five different girls have lived With us. and our average is a family of twenty Our aim Is not to make money, but to set a clean, wholesome table. and live within our income, for we believe that If our department is to continue it must be self-support- ing. and not drain on the assoCia- ton.
 A little over a year ago we raised the price of our board from $3.25 to S3.5O a week on account of the in crease in prices, and we still feel that this is the least we can charge and meet our expenses. During the school year our average is fifty but curing the summer and vacation sea- sen we drop to a few in excess of our regular family of twenty odd. This year 24255 meals were served. For all not boarding with us we charge 25c at noon and 20c each for break fast and supper.
 This winter it was decided to open T tea room (there being no such Dlace in town). The experiment was tried but there did not seem to be enough business to warrant it's con-

Boarding House Committee.

On the walls of a charming hotel one may read this line-"Ye canna expect to be baith grand and com fortable."
 It would hardly be fitting to write that sentiment on the walls of our boarding home for we are grand over our comforts, and our homo is fully appreciated by our little family. The past year our rooms have been con- tinuously filled with girls following various occupations, such as office, factory and teaching positions, besides one student, city missionary and the secretaries. The variety of interests in the world of labor, is the best help for the individual development.
 Now what does it all cost to main tain this home? Much in labor. de- votion and generosity of spirit which cannot be estimated. In dollars the cost for the year 1915-1916 was for rent, help, coal, gas and electricity, laundry and supplies s1,294.S5, to pay these expenses we received from rent ing rooms s1,231.ss, leaving a balance

organized in the various churches this past year we have not had any need for large Bible class here at the as sociation, but the Campfire clubs have had short informal courses on High school Girls Ideals,' and "OutdOOrs in the Bible'' which were very interest," ing and were given by capable lead- CTS.
 I cannot close this report without in some way expressing on the part Of the religious work committee our ap- preciation to those who have so kindly given of their time and ser- vices in this department, those who have so kindly come Sunday after Sunday to play for us, and also those who have given us pleasure with vo cal selections.
 To the girls of the Aokiya, Kolah, and Rambler Campfire clubs, also Miss Mary Halls Sunday school class, who by their faithfulness, patience, and sweet willingness have made pos sible our nice teas and social hours each Sunday, we are specially thank ful, for many times 1t has meant sacrifice on their part but their sac rifice has been our gain
 !. To the members of the religious work committee for their faithfulness and help, and to the secretaries of the association who have always been ready to assist, we would acknowl- edge our appreciation and gratitude. Respectfully submitted,

ana later the girl herself wrote thanking us for saving her from un- pleasant experiences.
 One cannot put into words or on paper the things that count for most. We must let the work speak for itself, and you must believe that New Brit ain is richly blessed in having a Young Womens Christian associa- tion.
 To our board members, committee members, our ten volunteer club leaders, our volunteer swimming pool supervisors, to all who contributed so generously in our most recent cur- rent expenses campaign, the news papers, and all those interested in what we are doing, we the girls, give our hearty thanks. and are glad that we have each other.

Physical Education Committee.

At last the long dreamt of Gym rasium and Swimming pool are real- ties, and we can look back over the first season in our new building. As the building was not completed until the last of September this report necessarily covers but six months, and not a full year.
 Classes began on October fourth for the first term of fifteen weeks. The first month was an especially busy time for the physical director and the secretaries with the registra- tion of new members who joined the association because of the new privi- leges offered by the recreation hall. the enrolment of classes, and the actual beginning of classes, and the getting adjusted to the new surround ings and equipment so that every- thing was in systematic working order.
 The gymnasium classes have been as follows:-a beginners class, an advanced class, and a club girls class all in the evening"; an advanced class, and a class in aesthetic danc- ing both in the morning. For swim ming instruction a number of classes were formed, as well as private les sons given.
 The enrolment in classes has been as follows:-totaI number enrolled in gymnasium classes 227, number in swimming classes 192, number of pri- vate lessons AS.
 The swimming pool has been popu- lar with experts as well as with be- ginners. The smallest number going in for plunges any one month was 72 in January, and the largest number 226 in March. The number of plunges for the six months was 10s3, and the total number going into the pool for lessons and plunges was 3O73.
 In February the Physical Educa tion committee assisted the Social committee in giving a Clrcus Tn the gymnasium to detray the eX- pense of a second nickel-plated ladder that was very much needed in the swimming pool.
 At the end of the first term swimming exhibition was given and the progress made by those taking swimming lessons was well demon strated. A gymnasium exh1bltlOn IS teing planned for the last of May at the completion of the second term of classes.
 If any still question, after the fig ures given above, whether the swim ming pool and gymnasium are being used and appreciated, and whether the large expenditure of money put into the building was worth while, let them come down some evening and see the girls gaining health and pleasure on the gymnasium floor, and hear the happy shouts and splashes coming from the swimming pool, and they will not remain long uncOn- vinced.

tinuance, so it was closed after a few months trial.
 It is the aim of the lunch room committee to please all. We feel that it is your right to be satisfied, but when you are not, we feel it is our right to ask that you make your criticisms known to us and give us a fair chance to correct the faults. The larger the lunch room, the better the meals. Let us try for real success next year

Educational Committee.


 The Educational committee has not tried to keep pace with the physi- cal training and gymnasium commit tee It has been the year for the latter department and no committee has rejoiced more than it's sister committee in the popularity of the swimming pool and the gymnasium
 Our sewing classes have been small and the clubs of younger girls have been the only ones to form cooking classes. But why should 1t be otherwise? Who would make aprons only to soil them by cooking and washing dishes, if she could frolic in the gymnasium or play basketball? Who would make 8 perishable thing of straw and mill linery when she could don a rubber cap and dive into the pool?
 Next year we hope the enthusiasm among the older girls will not limit itself to the new building, but we who remain in the old hope to see every class room filled, a, result of the energy created and in storage.
 The clubs of which there have been twelve have had most efficient leaders, and in most of these there have been short courses in cooking, sewing, basketry, first aid, also occa- sional business meeting and frolics.
 The entire association suffered a serious loss in the removal in June 1915, of Miss Randall from our corps of leaders, and in her death which occurred a few months later. Miss Loomis is a most successful teacher in English to the class of foreign born women who come each week. These lessons are free. Mrs. Hale has been the instructor in reed baSketry, and Miss Simpson of Southington, the instructor in dress making.
 The usual magazines have been supplied and there have been some books added to the list during the

wear. 1074 books have been taken from the shelves during the year.

Membership Committee.

The membership committee have met once a month during the year. The membership April 1, 1915, was 514. During the year seventy names have been dropped from mem bership, some having moved from town, others having married and did not wish to renew.
 We have added to our membership 341, making a total mem bership end ing March 31, 1916, 796.

 Social Committee.
 The social committee began the year 1915-16 with an Easter party and followed it by a picnic in June. Ac- tivities for the winter started with Halloween masquerade. In Decem- Der the social committee and the membership committee gave a very successful party at which old members welcomed new ones. Two other par ties, which consisted chiefly of danc ing, were held in January and on Washlngton's birthday. Expenses have amounted to S71.70.
 Our very successful circus was the means of raising money for the ladder for the swimming pool. With the help of the physical education committee we were able to give it twice, with the result that the ladder-s86, was paid for and about $125 was cleared to be used in the purchasing of dishes for the kitchenette and other much need ed articles.
 The committee met regularly every month on the third Wednesday. There al fau Its mem bership now numbers twelve. four new members being added in the fall, Miss Helen Corbin, Miss Ruth Corbin, Miss Florence Parker and Miss Helen Bradley.

They may expect that assured readi-
ness for defense will give power to
our diplomacy in the maintenance OF

They may expect that the power and
viii of a united people to defend their
country will prevent the application to
our peaceful and prosperous land OF
the hateful doctrine that among ma
lions might makes right regardless OF
the rules Of justice and humanity.
They may expect that the manifest,
potential strength and competency OF
the nation will maintain the effective
ness and reality of that great policy OF
national safety which In the declara-
ton of President Monroe forbade the
destruction of our security by the es-
adjustment Of hostile military powers
In our neighborhood.
They may expect that their govern

American and Mexican Labor Leaders
Bring Pressure to Bear on
Carranza

A new turn in the Mexican condi-
tons was indicated yesterday when it
became known that Carranza had
transmitted to the State department at
Washington a note very c~Onciliatory
in one and opening the way for an
amicable settlement of conditions be-
low the border.
The Latin-American countries and
labor leaders in this country have been
flooding Mexico City with messages to
C~arranza asking that all possible meas
ures be taken to prevent a clash with
the United States. The withdrawal
north Of about 100 miles of the United
States troops has had it's effect in con-
vincing the de facto Chief that the
Washington administration means
only to aid Mexico in righting condi-
tons in Mexico. The release of the
American troops captured in the Car
rial fight has influenced the action of
the United States government in draw
ing the troops nearer the border.
