The writer had the pleasure OF
seeing the Deputy or Assistant
Mayor of the CITY of Livingston
last Monday. A gentleman from
Mt. Vernon ask him what has
been the matter with with you

! Well we locked and if we are not
fooled IL was the same nose he
had when we first saw him, and
TO save Us we could not tell
that it had improved in looks
one bit. But our good friend
! continued by saying that he was
ready for us thus week with a
reply that carried with it fire,
lightning and u number of other
that we failed to remember on
account Of the excitement created
by his assertions, but dollars to
doughnuts We San guess what
his self defense will be. In the
first place we imagine ne will
say thai the good town OF Liv-
ingston contributed more than
seventy three dollars toward the
Y. NJ. c. A. fund, and we under.
stand that a second meeting was
| held in "self defense" and an ad-
ditional amount was raised. A
drummer that once lived in this
good town was present at this
second meeting, and we imagine
helped to raise the fund too.
Then he will say that his town
helped TO swell the Red Cross
fund, and that they contribu TED
literally toward other public en-
terprises and in that way en-
deayor to Justify the Y. M. CA.

Last Night Saw U3 Aecomo-
dated With Beds in Cen
trail Building.

The Richmond Young Mems Chris
tian Association hall Is growing rapid
ly in popularity with the soldiers To-
Gated at Camp Lee. Quantico and
Camp Stuart. There are ninety-two
rooms in the building. and last night
there were 21o beds occupied. OF
these. 113 were slept in by the boys
from the various camps who wear the
uniforms OF military service. At least
fifty men, civilians and soldiers, were
turned away or else conducted to some
clearinghouse.
There were FIVE beds in Secretary
S. X. McKee's private Office, twenty
four beds in the large club room on
the second floor, and from five to ten
beds in each of six or eight other club
rooms on the several floors. The beds
are we'll equipped with good mattresses
and pillows and satisfactory covering,
and even in the big club room the air
space is larger per bed than is allotted
to the cots in the environments. So, by
next Saturday night. when the soldiers
off for the weekend flock to Rich
mond in increased numbers. the Young
Mems Christian Association expects to
care for at least 200 Of the men, whose
uniform Is their introduction here. The
first Saturday night after the camps
opened. the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION here accommodated thirty
eight of the boys. Due to muster roll
at the camps the next week, there
were few. if any. of them in the city.
but on the following Saturday night
there were siXty-seven asking for and
receiving beds.
Since the soldiers began 'hominE"
to the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton in this city, over $4,000 has been
expended on special equipment to take
care of them. BY next Saturday $1,000
more will be spent in additional spe-
cial equipment. which will accommo-
date sixty more Of the men in khaki.
It will take thirty-two weeks to pay
for this equipment, In view Of the fact
that the boys are here only on Satur-
day nights on leave. and are provided
with ohome-like room in which to
sleep, shower bath and other comforts.
