MISS STAFFORD A THRILLER
~. w." Meeting Sunday Afternoon
one Of Best During War Period
Women Much Interested

Camp Cody is to have hospitality
center similar to the one that made
the Plattsburg training camp so popu-
lar IN New York, according to the
statement made by Miss Mabel X.
Stafford, the able representative of
the Southern Department OF the Nat
ional y. ". c. A., during her inspir-
ing address at the Crystal Sunday af-
ternOon.
1--WE women must help win this
war" said Miss Stafford, when she
was introduced by DR. Janet Reid,
who presided at the meeting
I'VE must take the places of men
and keep life sweet and safe
in Washington and other cities,
girls are learning to run elevators
and perform other tasks of young
men who must answer the call 10 the
colors.
I'VE have a greater cali than con-
serving the food supply OF entering
lines of trade. We have a call to sac
rifice. Think how the women Of
Europe have suffered and sacrificed.
Women in the Southwest are hav-
ing a real experience. Conditions
have been very bad in the past, but
are now going to be much better.
There are all kinds of boys and all
kinds of girls"
Miss Stafford made a powerful plea
fr girls to dress in manner that
will not invite familiarity OF insult.
She spoke of the lure of brass buttons
as one of the greatest problems and
the tendency of silly girls TO almost
"eat the buttons off soldiers coat
She referred to the strong attrac-
tion of uniforms as emotional insanity
that often leads to ill-advised mar
riages, not infrequently to men who
have wives at home.
"No country in the world has pro-
duced such mothers as America" said
Miss Stafford, land our great prob
lem is how to keep good girls good
and pure girls pure"
What kind of u country are we go-
ing to have after the war asked the
speaker. "That is a most vital ques-
ton"
1T is tragedy for any city to
double its population over night, and
now about Dining, whose sopnlat -
will be multiplied by seven or enight.
Demng ladies are very much inter
ested in the movement and are hold
ing frequent and very interesting
meetings, DR.. Janet Reid's Office being
