DO YOUR Bit, GIRLS, The U. S. NEEDS
SIEMOGRAPHERS.

The work of the war is being SER
iously hampered by the lack OF stem
ographers. Both men and women
are needed badly. Commissioner Nc

vice in Washington has just sent out
word urging his district men to do all
they could to remedy the situa-
ton.
Girls, show your patriotism spend

Commercial College, Tyler, Texas
and qualify to pass the civil service
examination, thereby, helping to win
the war. The Tyler Commercial Col
lege has special class in civil service
work and by the aid of the famous
Byrne Shorthand which they control
they can qualify you to do this patri-
otto work, for which the Government
pays handsomely, in three months
less time than anyone else. Girls,
what excuse can you offer not spend

parting to 60 to our National Capitol

The cost of tuition, books, and
board for the three and one hall
months would not exceed one hun
dred and twenty dollars. If you
haven't this amount, borrow such par
of it as is necessary from some bust
ness man who would be only too gla6
to make you a loan since it would
serve to help win the war. The Col

The ARMY Y. N. c. A.

What would we do without the
Y, M. C.. A.?" is a question often
heard today on the many contone-
ments throughout the length and
breadth of the land. !
On the day war was declared
against Germany, the full resources
Of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION OF America were offered to
President Wilson. The offer was
accepted and the $4,000 then
asked for by the National War
Work Council was promptly over.
subscribed by a limited section OF
the country.
Today, wherever American troops
are, whether it be in camp, the out
post, in the hospital, on the sea or
in France, there you find the Army
Y. M. G. A. with the touch OF home
and those influences which the folks
back home would want their boys
surrounded with. At Camp Beau
regard, for instance, the Y. M. CA.
at the invitation of the War Dept,
has erected five huts with five
trained secretaries to each building.
There the soldier may spend the
four to six waking hours per day
when he is not under orders. In
each building one finds 800 IT. OF
writing tablets and free stationery,
three censored motion picture shows
and three religious services each
week, musical entertainments, pc
riodicals and a circulating library.
To one who has had a taste of army
life in the old days, with its absence
OF all those things which one is used
to at home, this introduction by the
Y. NJ. C. A. of influences, which
make army life morally safer and
more pleasant, is most appreciated.
Last April it was planned to put
200 buildings and 1900 secretaries
into the field. Since then history
has made fast. Our military pro-
gram has been expanded so that $50
buildings and over 1000 secretaries
are needed. American troops were
put into France ahead of the then
expectations. yet So trained Ameri-
can secretaries with buildings ready,
we're on French soil when our first
troops arrived.
Kerensky, seeing what this service
does for the morale of troops, is call
Ing for 500 American Y. M. G. A.
secretaries and some of our choicest
men are being drawn daily from our
announcements for service in Russia.
France and Italy are calling for it
and il this service is given, America
must give it.
These are calls which America
must heed and there has gone forth,
therefore, a call to the American
people for $35 600, 900 to be raised
between Nov. 18th and 10Th to carry
this service through our own army
and navy, both at home and abroad a.,
to put buildings and secretaries
along the Russian front and to send
500 secretaries into the armies of
France and Italy.
As a result of State conference
held on Oct. Oath in Alexandria the
apportionment for Tensas parish was
placed at 81 800.
This is cause close to the hearts
Of the people. Committees are FORM
ing to make the canvas in this parish
and il is hoped that our portion of
Louisiana's $780, 900 for this patri-
otto end will be made good.

RED CROSS TABLEAUX
CREATED A BIG STIR

The unique tableaux presented in the
show window of the Gamm Corner
Drug store on Saturday afternoon and
evening under the auspices and for
the benefit of the local Red Cross chap
ter kept an admiring crowd of people
in front of the window during all the
time the different relays of boys and
girls we're in the scenes. The window
itself was converted into a hospital
tent on a miniature scale in harmony
with the participants.
Henry Mulberger, Jr., and Lucille
Meyers were prominent in the tab
leaux work while others in the poses
were Doris Etscheid, Harriet Blakely,
Gertrude Link, Hazel Schoolcraft, Eli
zabeth Solliday, Mary Conley, Ruth
Mansfield, Ruth Dieter, Rachel Heis-
mann, Adele Siegler, Margaret LANCE,
Erna Kruger, Margaret Pingel, Fran
els Skinner, Marion Thauer.
The window was so arranged as to
give the best possible display to the
work advertising the Red Cross and
the work it was doing. A cot upon
which a miniature soldier lay wound
ed, being cared for by little Red
Cross nurse was most naturally por-
trayed.
