Knitting And Sewing
Machines in Churches
In Many Eastern Cities

That the spirit of preparation for
war eventualities thoroughly per-
vades the east was brought out very
interestingly Friday afternoon by
Mrs. w. HI. H Best, recently return
ed from there, at q meeting OF the
Fargo w. C. i. u. held at the home
of Mrs. r. G. Gardner. on Ninth
street south. None of the churches
in the various states / visited are
closed, but are open every day, and
some have knitting machines and
sewing machines installed" said Mrs.
Best. THE children also are help
ing by rolling bandages and snip
ping for pillows, and even the host
and hostess of one home where /
visited were considering how many
convalescents they could accommo-
date II necessary. New York has a
complete registry of the women Of
the state as to what they are willing
to do for war relief.
Mrs. Best stated that the Webb
Kenyon law has been Of great as,
sistance in enforcing prohibition in
Maine, citing as an example the.
quartering OF large numbers of the
sailors in Portland, with not a single
arrest for drunkenness In Boston,
at the w. @. 7. u. headquarters, the
women are exercised because an APP
plication had been made for a license
to operate saloon within 600 feet
OF a school building, cited Mrs Best
Mrs. F. @. Gardner read a timely
article saying that no home chari-
ties should be neglected on account
OF Red Cross work. Home organiza-
tions are beginning to feel the pinch.
It is not so picturesque, but just as
necessary to care equally for both.
Mrs. George Clark read an edi-a
toriaI of interest from The Union
Signal, regarding the passing by the
senate Of the National Constitutional
amendment The book, Defeat and
Victory, by Arthur Nee, which has
created such a stir in England re-
garding the great waste caused. by
the liquor traffic, was also a topic
for comment yesterday. Mrs. A. A.
Knopp sang, Spirit Of God, (Neid-
linger), with Mrs. F. d. Henderson
as accompanies, which added much
to the devotional period OF the meet
ing. over which Mrs. O. M. Strate
presided. Mrs. John Monson was in
charge Of the program.
The union will hold its next meet !
ing with Mrs. Z. G. Beardsley, Ninth |
street north, on Sept. IA. The topics
will be Problems Of Finance:
Advantage of Tithing; and What
Part of the Truth Should w. G. T. u. {
Receive? Mrs. III. M. Talbot will be
leader. Delegates for the state con
vention will be elected at that meet

pared to meet results of war than
can be foreseen, we wish to bring to
the attention of college women who
desire to fit themselves for maximum
usefulness, a field Of service in which
the present supply of experienced
workers is totally inadequate to the
anticipated demand.
shell shock and the rigor and
horror of life in the trenches have
sent thousands of soldiers back to
England mentally disoTdered. Our
government is preparing psychiatric
units for medical care of such cases.
Complete medical care involves the
assistance of social workers to help
these men as thy recover to find
their places again in the commun-
ity. In the whole country there is
only a handful of workers at pres
ent specially prepared for this type
or work. which is a comparatively
recent development in social service
An eight months course of training
Tor limited number Of students is
offered by the social service depart
ment OF the Boston Psychopathic
hospital. There is no tuition and an
applicant who Is accepted may be-
gin at any time. This training is
fundamental to social case work in
all of its branches and therefore
meets not only the demands of war
but also the permanent needs of the
mental hygiene movement.
The obligation to acquire skill for
the service of our country is upon all
young men and women. This is not
a war for amateurs. Voluntary
workers and paid workers with spe-
cial training will be badly needed in
the aftercare of soldiers who have
suffered from nervous or mental dis
order.

training may be addressed to Miss
