Daily Talks By Mary Pick ford
THE HALL-ROONI GIRL


I have received among my letters.
one from a girl whom I will call
The Hall Room Girl" That letter
breathes a spirit Of the deepest lone
Illness and depression I have seen
expressed in any OF d number of
sorrowful letters that have come 70
me. And so ! want TO chat with
my Daily Talk" friends about the
Hall Room Girl She is a respon-
sibility Of ours, and / want 70 ask
everybody 10 try and help me make
her life more like our own and less
like that OF q prisoner. Indeed even
prisoners have more comfort than
does the Hall Room Girl that
am talking about. Every one Of US
can do so much for this girl, and
we can do it without cost to our
selves and with the expenditure Of
very little time and effort
The letter made me realize that a
girl who takes a hall room generally
does so because she cannot get any
other sort. OF course, there are girls
who are thrifty and who have
enough 10 spend TO make their hall
or quite sO-and who take the cheap
room because they want TO save
their money mad make their later
years more enjoyable, or because
they have 10 help support someone
else-perhaps some relative in the
country But most Of the time the
Hall Room Girl takes her room be-
cause il is cheap. Most hall rooms
are cold in winter and stuffy in sum-
mer. There is not space for a girl
to make herself comfortable, and
this sort of room is never furnished
50 that it can be made 10 look like
a den" in which the girl may re-
ceive her friends. She has no means
Of her own 10 make the room at
tractive and comfortable: no means
TO supply the small electric or al
cOhOl burner that will serve TO warm
the room, heat an iron with which
TO press dainty accessories of dress.
and she cannot make herself a cup
OF cocoa on a chilly afternoon when
she comes in tired from work and
side. The Hall Room Girl has no
society to speak Of She has no
where that she can invite her
friends: she has few friends, be-
cause if she had more her hall room
would not be bare and cold and
cherries. The Hall Room Girl is
surrounded with temptations that do

not come 10 other girls; il she is
i'll she has no one TO help her, be-
cause she cannot afford help. Her
very mode Of existence is likely to
occasion illness.
Doesn't it seem to YOU that We
all should get acquainted with the
Hall Room Girl? We can soon learn
whether she is able 10 take care Of
herself and is not in need OF any
friendly assistance. We will find
that. in most cases, she does not
need friends Think how easy for
us 10 get into some clubs and among
acquaintance where she can find
proper associations and recreation
amid pleasant surroundings, We
can help her better her condition
so that she need not remain a hall
room girl. We can visit her, If
she is not well, and provide her
with the things that neighbors, who
are better of, furnish each other
when one is not in good health. And
we can sit with her, if she needs
nursing, and take her 20 a hospital,
if she requires that assistance. 1t
delicacies thta will make things bet
ter for her in these hard times, and
we can see that she is protected, as
Hall Room Girls are not usually
protected Many a Hall Room Girl
has starved because she has not had
any friends who would take the
trouble to help her. 1t does not re-
quire much effort TO see that the
Hall Room Girl is at work. If she
is not, there is a reason for il. We
can always help her TO find work
and find friends, and, if she is not
able TO work, we can help her TO
rest in some one of the many rest
homes" that kind women have
founded for their less fortunate sis
ters.
Let's look after the Hall Room
Girl. II is so easy TO exercise a SUI
pervision without forcing an ac-
quaintance. 1t is easy to learn when
she is at work, and whether she has
enough to live on. The very fact
that one has somebody TO take an
interest in one lends new zest to
life Temptations have no power
over the girl who has true friends
and letters Of desperate loneliness
would not reach me from hopeless
Hall Room Girls if we all did the
little simple duty of looking after
our neighbor.

CANADA'S BONUS
TO FARM LABORERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de-
mand that is made upon it for food
stuffs, finds itself almost in the throes
of a labor famine. A novel means of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when 1t was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
100 acres free as homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been big pro-
Queer of grain and it Is estimated that
there is q shortage of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. This shortage has
been caused by so many young men
having left the farms to go to war, and
1t Is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer of this kind, to fill their places
on the land at once.
1t has been required in the past to
do three years duties on homesteads
to get title. but an additional induce
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. As
explained by an official of the Canadi-
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers Is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers at
once. A farmland will make his en-
try for one of the 16O-acre farms, sat
Isfy the Government that he Is work
ing for farmer and that time will ap.
ply as residence on the land filed for,
lust the same as If he was actually
living on it.-Advertisement.

HONESTY The RULE
so SAYS MANAGER OF NICKEL.
IN-SLOT RESTAURANT.
Most People Refuse to Cheat the
Place When They Get the Chance,
But One Obtained Extra
Coffee.

If there is any place where it would
be supposed the chances for cheating
had been reduced to a minimum it is
the restaurant where you drop
nickel in the slot and buy your dinner
in the same way that you get stick
of gum on a subway platform. But
according to the manager of one Of
these places customers can get more
than they are entitled to under GER
tain conditions.
"See that fellow over there?" he
said. Hes q beat. Watch him. He
puts his cup under the coffee spout
and then walks to the furthest corner
to get a knife, fork and spoon. Why?
because there's always a little trickle
running from the spout, and by the
time he comes back he's got two
spoonfuls of coffee III his cup before
he even puts in his nickel.
Result: he gets his cup filled up
right to the brim instead of up to
within half an inch. Sometimes he
even has a little overflow in his sau-
Ger. His theory is that every little
bit added to what you pay for makes
just little bit more.
But you'd be surprised at the num-
Der of honest people there are. The
other night man came up to me.
"I want to get a piece of custard
pie he says, and every one of the
doors is wide open. I can get all the
pie I want, but I can't drop my nickel
in
"Sure enough, the boy who fills the
pie shelves had failed to close the
doors tight enough to lock them. Ev-
cry compartment was wide open. And
every one was filed; no pie missing
at all. I had the locks sprung, and
then this man put in his coin, turned
the handle and took his piece of pie in
the regular way.
"But the best little Diogenes of
them all was a fellow I saw this very
night. He comes up to me with q
plate of macaroni in one hand and a
nickel in the other.
"'Here's a jitney belongs to you,
he tells me. 7 put it in the slot and
got my dish, but the jit fell out the
return slot again. What1l I do with
it?
"They don't come any honester than
that, I guess"

New Mark Twain Tale.

This Mark Twain story might have
happened. 1t dates back to the pc
riod when Mark was living in Hart
ford, in the next block from Harriet
Beecher Stowe and her husband, Pro-
fessor Stowe. One cold and blustery
winter morning, after an unusually
heavy snowstorm, a neighbor, meeting
Mark on the street slowly blowing his
way through the drifts with a corncob
pipe in his mouth, and a snow shovel
over his shoulder, asked him where
he was bound. ooh, just around the
block-on an errand aessssmercy,"
drawled Mark, removing the pipe from
between his teeth and pointing over
his shoulder with the stem Of it. "Mrs.
Stowe has just telephoned me that Pro-
fessor Stowe is under the weather this
morning and I'm on my way around
there to shovel him out"
