The Hostess Houses.
Mrs. ]. P. Hornish spoke Of the
hostess houses and said their object
is to keep alive the idea of home in
the hearts of the soldiers. Do you
realize that Camp Dodge is larger
than keokuk, that it has a popula-
ton OF $4,000, that before the winter
closes it viii have a population of
10000 soldiers? The camp is seven
miles across and twelve miles dis
al from Des Moines. Visitors to
the camp often have to wait for
hours to see the boy whom they
come to visit. These hostess houses
furnish a safe place for women and
girls to wait and a place to NEE the
soldiers. There are rest rooms, a
nursery, a cafeteria and an informa-
ton bureau in these houses. A train,
ed secretary has charge of the hos
tess house. Camp Dodge is to have
two, one for the use Of the white
women and M for the colored
women.
Mrs. T. r. Board spoke of the can

She had q map on the stage on
which she located the various camps.
She said hat in all there are lit
army and navy camps. She spoke
especially of the conditions at
Charleston, N. c., where there is a
large cantonment and very neal it
is a munition factory employing 800
girls. In the beginning the housing.
facilities were pitifully inadequate and

that in this country fourteen special

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Ia
"The hous eholder must realize that
when he throws a shovelful OF ar
thracite coal into his furnace Its
value is equivalent to half a pound
of sugar, or half a loaf of bread, or
half a pint OF milk"
That is the manner in which Van
H. Manning. director of the bureau
of mines, department of the interior,
endeavored to impress, the state as
sistants of the fuel administration
with the necessity for the econimical
use OF fuel. The state deputies had
been called together in Washington
by DR.. H. A. Garfield, the fuel ad-
minfstrator, for a family council
concerning the urgent work to be
taken up in each state.
"The householder must, therefore,
appreciate hat it is now worth while
to examine his house and to overhaul
his heating equipment" continued
Mr. Manning. Weather strips, dou-

Mr.. Manning said hat about 20

coal mined in the United States is
used for house heating and that it is
shoveled by more than 8 1000. 600
people.
Americans have been as wasteful
of coal as Of other resources" con-
tinued Mr.. Manning. largely because
coal has been abundant. To many
consumers it has seemed hardly
worth while to give time and thought
to the saving of coal. Conditions
have suddenly changed. Today 1t is
everybody's business to save coal.

The Y. W. c. A. auditorium was
crowded with woman yesterday after
noon at the mass meeting called at
four o'clock by Miss Martha Hornish,
chairman for the war work council OF
the southern half Of the first con-
gressional district There were
seated on the platform Miss Horntsh,
Mrs. Henry w. Huiskamp, president
of the local Y. w. c. A. association;
Mrs. G. NJ. Rich, chairman Of the

Mrs. H. c. Brown. Mrs. T. r. Board,
Mrs. John P. Hornish, Miss Eleanor
Brown, the Rev. Mary c. Collins and
Miss Milford, the general secretary
lof the Y. w. G. A.
Miss Hornish explained the object
iof the meeting, to hear the reports
from the war work conference re.
Gently held in Des Moines and to
learn what the women Of this citv
are expected to do.
Mrs. Huiskamp was then intro
duced and spoke Of Camp Dodge,
She said hat a visit to that Iowa
cantonment would convince anyone
that there is a woman's problem
there. Twenty-Five thousand soldiers,
the finest type or young men which
this country has produced. many Of
them college men. all splendid, man.
1y fellows. For every man who is
there, there is at least n woman
interested IN him. So every day
there are hundreds Of come
to this camp to visit these boys
last Sunday there were more thar
ten thousand women there. Some
provision must be made that these
women may see their boys. To pro
vide for this need is one small part
of our problem.

the camp. She made a good speech,
clear and direct. She said no one
questions the excellent work done by
the Y. NJ. c. A., and hat it is exactly
what Is needed inside the canton
ment. But the war office has seer a
work to be done outside the camp
and 1t has summoned the Y. w. G.
A. to do that work. This association
was chosen because It is both ma
tional and international in its organi-
cation. It is an organization fifty
years old with q machinery already
in operation. 1t Is the vehicle which
the government has chosen, but 1t
has Communicated every American
woman to give her aid that this or
ganization may be able to do the
work asked Of it. The work is seven
fold, the establishment Of hostess
houses; the work among young girls:
the work in Industrial oenters; the
work among foreign wornen in the
Q. s.; the colored problem; the
bureau Of social morality, and the
work in Russia and France.
The Girl Camp Follower.
In simplifying some Of these pur-
poses she said that one of the
hardest problems ts the foolish young
girl who follows the lure of the uni
form and who by her fooIishness and
innocence is an easy prey. In speak
ing Of the industrial problem she
said the new work which women are
undertaking Is not necessarily hard
er, but 1t Is different She dons v
ais sometimes and goes to take a
mans place. Many times she Is an
inexperienced girl used 3 o different
surroundings and she needs help to
keep her poise and her wornanly
qualities Then there is the ques-
ton Of lowered wages. Employers
are paying women less than they
paid the men for the same work.
Shall all men who are In the army
come back to e lower scale Of wages?
Isn't it just that women should re-
cefve equal wage for equal work?
She spoke Of the camp followers and
Of the menace they are to the physi-
cal and moral welfare of the soldiers.
Much has been said about the safety
zone about the cantonments. In real
fly It isn't q very wide zone. The
object OF the bureau Of social moral
ity which Is one OF the OF
this war work is to teach the girls
who are employed about the anton
ments the grim facts Of He and the
dangers which they should avoid.

harder for the women in European
countries. France has buried as

The girls of the Church Club, in adj
dition TO the lessons in first aid work,
have taken up musical drill under the
direction of Miss Elma Pratt. The
lesson this week was very satisfac-
tory. The girls wish to express their
appreciation to Miss Pratt and also to
Mrs. Campbell for presiding at the
piano at the first lesson.
The boys of the squad are planning
for an entertainment on the 9Th of
August to raise money for the pur-
chase of uniforms. 1t is to be hoped
that the persons, who discharged fire.
arms in the village last Monday night
were not members of the squad. If
they were, their action was entirely
without the sanction Of the officers and
is very much deplored by them. We
believe that the action will not occur
again.
The parade and lawn party for the
benefit of the Red Cross on the 4th of
July was great success from the
standpoint of both the Red Cross and
the community. About S135 was TAX

the amount close to $160. After pay

Fourth. i
In closing this account of the days
doings we would say that the aim OF
the Red Cross ladies was to show our
residents the serious side of the Red
Cross work, which was represented in
the first part of the parade, and also
to keep up the spirit of the day, indie
pendence Day, as shown in the last
half Of the procession; the band wagon
dividing the two.
Another impression was the serious
side of the present times caused by the
conflict abroad and the frivolous side
of life as lived before the war and to
