systematic effort to make the spacious

Hundreds Of them have come from

Mrs. Helen Gardener. a member Of the
congressional committee Of the associa-
ton, and Mrs. Ryan Devereaux are the
chief promoters of the plan. "The en-
tire city Is extending hospitality to SOL
diers and sailors" says Mrs. Gardener.
1--WE ought at the same time to be
equally hospitable and solicitous about
the women who are helping to carry
on the war.
'aThe War Department. the Navy De-
partment, the food administration, the
Treasury Department, the Department
of Agriculture and the Department OF
Commerce are depending nowadays
upon the work of the women as much
as Of men.

Should Aid Women.
Handicaps for Women.

THE women who have come to Wash
ington in thousands to do this work are
more hampered in the making of ac-
quaintances and in finding comfortable
quarters and recreation than are tho
men. They have not the same roman
tic interest in the mind of the public as
have the soldiers and sailors. for one
thing. This association feels that a
part of its war service should be to
offer hospitality and comfort to the
woman war workers, and we hope that
they will make tho fullest use Of our
quarters"

they raise their quota of the fund by
