Louis Anderson once roomed at
Beulah Burkes house. When he left
he forgot TO take along all OF his
belongings.
The other day he came back. All
doors were locked. He broke through
two OF them. They were smashed
completely.
So was Beulah's jaw. Also her
feelings. She had Louis arrested. He
was still defiant.
He intended. he said, to create a
rush at the morgue. But the cops
prevented that.
Louis didn't know that he could
have gotten all his things without
a rough-house, but the way he left

smmodious Building Has
5een Erected for Com :
fort Of Troops.

All the comforts of home are In
store for the enlisted men of the army
and navy WHO reach this city as
strangers or otherwise, and who are
looking around for some attention.
Under the auspices Of the National
War Work Council Of the Y. n. C. A..
a commodious building has been erect
ed on the vacant square at Ninth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest. for the special comfort
Of the soldiers and sailors affected.
This structure is 20xel feet in d.
mensions, and was transported in
sections from Long Island. N. Y.
where It had been used for demonstra-
ton purposes there and elsewhere, in
Guiding one Of the training camps.
This building will be under the di-
rect supervision Of William Knowles
Cooper. Of the Central Y. NJ. C. A
OF this city. and is one of a chain
or thirteen similar buildings built
for the comfort Of enlisted men In the
two branches of military service.
IL viii be installed with many recre-
oNNS ecNANSSs plduOt
and other musical Instruments. be-
sides desks for Ietter-writing, library
with popular books distributed by the
Carnegie Library.
Current magazines and newspapers
will be kept on file, and free station
cry will be provided. In short, the
establishment will operate as an in
formation bureau and general recrea-
tion room for the men coming here
as strangers and requiring care of
this character.
Churches Are Interested.
Several local churches already have
become interested in the idea, and in
keeping Herewith are cooperating
with the Y. NJ. c. A. in looking after
the comforts Of the enlisted men. 1t
Is expected that other church organ
izations and philanthropic associations
will take the matter up with a view
OF rendering all the assistance they
can to help the movement.
A list of rooms in private homes is
being arranged. and when the men
get here on Saturday nights especially
when the city is crowded and they
have no means OF obtaining suita Bile
accommodations, they will learn to
seek this place as their headquarters
upon which to rely for the best OF
treatment.
c. B. Kefersteip, a retired local
business man, has taken deep inter-
est in the movement to help the en-
listed men in this manner. and will
devote his personal attention thereto.
Irving Cleveland. engaged formerly
in Y. NJ. c. A work at Fort Myer,
Bellvoir and University. has been
transferred here for the special SER
vice indicated. and altogether the
enlisted men have some bright pros
poets in view.

GOOD MORNING
JUDGE
Wasted Money and Munitions.
BY RUDOLPH PERKINS.

Wasted Money and Munitions.
Some fellows are always in a
hurry.
Private John Allen, of the First
Separate Battalion, "shot up Dix
on's court the other day. Policeman
Cox thought the war was over here
instead of "Over There"
Fortunately, he didn't bring along
the rife furnished him by Uncle Sam
The town is lucky.
The court says a soldier has no
business to buy firearms, as the gov
eminent is making frantic efforts to
supply all that are to be had.
And. besides, if any shooting up
Is to be done, the court says it must
be done in France or somewhere else.
Impatience was the main fault of
Allen. He knew better. But having
a uniform on spoiled him completely.
And just for being so smart he is
out a $50 bill, which could have been
better used to buy a liberty bond.
Poor Fellow!
He was poor old man.
From his humble little home in
Rockville he had trudged all the way
to Washington to buy some winter
underwear
He was nigh onto 70 years of age,
this man, Charles Hutchinson, was.
Gray-haired, feeble and rather weak
willed.
He fell in with bad companions. He
bought pint of liquor to take back
home with him. 1t burned a hole in
his pocket.
Soon it was burning a hole in his
stomach. He was warm enough
without the underwear.
A cop picked him up lest he get
run over by some frantically driven
auto.
He didn't need to say a word to the
court. All he knew anything about
was his. underwear.
The court took pity on the old man
and he will get three square meals d
day and a nice warm bed to sleep in
for five days.
Twas no use to fine him $40.
He didn't have 10 cents.

room and demanded the key of the
house. Nothing doing, she was told.
Andy came to the door and knock
ed over the lady. She had a baby
in her arms. The lady's sister came
to the rescue.
She also got hurt. Andy got her
head under his arm and punched it
something fierce. Then he went after
the lady with the baby and knocked
her down again.
Back and forth he went from one
woman to the other until he actually
got tired of beating them.
He was arrested. He couldn't re-
