STORE OPERATED ON
CAFETERIA PLAN

"Wait on yourself" is the prin-
ciple of a new store just opened in
Spokane and operated on the cafe
terra plan. Customers on entering
are provided with wire baskets. They
wander over the place selecting such
articles as are wanted. All goods
are put up in packages before being
placed on the tables and shelves and
the price of each package is plainly
marked. When the purchases has
filled his wants he goes to the cash
ier's desk and pays. There are no
clerks, no deliveries, no charge &C
counts, no discounts, no samples A
bundle wrapper, who keeps the
tables supplied from the warehouse,
together with the cashier, compose
the whole force.
The proprietor claims a saving for
the customer of from 10 to ~ per
cent. They also call attention to the
plan as war measure, the elimina-
ton of clerks releasing men for es-
sential occupations.
The place is doing a big business.

FRENCH SOLDIERS LEARNING
OUR ATHLETICS

Teaching French soldiers how to play
base ball is one of the tasks of
American Y. M C. A. war work
secretaries in France and it some
times leads to surprising incidents.
A Y. NJ. C. A. secretary was umpir-
ing and coaching two teams OF
French Polus playing playground
ball. The batter took healthy
swing with his small bat and smote
the soft ball in a screaming liner
straight for the pitcher. The latter
protected his face with his hands
and the sphere struck him soggily in
the chest. The pitchers expressive
features registered surprise and re-
proach over this so unexpected as
sault. As for the batter, did he
reach first? He did not. He ran
straight for the pitcher, embraced
him and apologized for hitting him.

WE SURE DO CODDLE OUR
SOLDIER BOYS.

Equipping American transports
with moving picture machines and
operators. the Y. NJ. c. A. has solved
the problem of the leisure time of
the soldiers crossing the Atlantic
ocean to France. The full Y. NJ. C.
A. program is carried out aboard the
transports with war wark secretaries
serving the men, furnishing them
with writing paper and envelopes,
staging entertainments and looking
after their physical, moral and edu
cational needs.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has 3,480,000 feet
of film on the high seas. Machines
aboard ship are going at the same
time on the upper deck, second deck
and perhaps inside for the officers.
What motion pictures mean to the
soldiers is shown by this incident
which happened on transport bound
for France: A serial motion picture
was being shown. Alarm was given
that U-boat had been sighted. I'M
mediately every man was on deck.
A torpedo was launched but missed.
The boys waited few minutes and
then one of them turned to an officer
and asked, "Can we go below now
and finish the picture ?"
Since March the Y. NJ. c. A. has
provided 10000 to 10000 feet of film
t each boat. The crew and soldiers
enjoy them going over and the
wounded coming back. Only the best
films are used with Mary Pickford,
Douglas Fairbanks, VIM. S. Hart
and others as the stars.

TRAINING NONCOMMISSIONED
OFFICERS

An extension course added to the
University of Washington for the
benefit of those young men who ex-
pect to be called into the service or
who intend to enlist, the two weeks
course, two of which have already
been held, and a third to begin next
Monday, July 10Th, have proved very
popular. Some Leavenworth young
men who have been taking the course
tell The Echo that they received in
estimable benefit. The cost is made
so low as to be within the reach of
any one. Mr.. F. E. Carlquist has
been in correspondence with Mr.. +.
]. Perry, captain commanding, and
can give all the information de-
sired. Sam Vanderwest, well known
Leavenworth railroad man, took the
course and said he considers it
most excellent and useful course OF
training.
If any Leavenworth boys are in
terested we advise them to see Mr..
Carlquist and get full information.

BTCKWHEAT CAKES FOR
THOUSANDS

King George missed the best part
of his recent pancake treat at the
Y. NJ. c. A. Eagle Hut in London
he didn't turn 'em personally. Every
one else over there is doing it now.
The six Y. NJ. c. A. cake-bakers
after serving 6124 American sol
diers and sailors with pancakes in
the first fifteen days rush. Then the
EAGLE Hut secretary had happy
thought. He induced the pancakes
friends not only to bake their own
but also to demonstrate with the
batter and turner for their hungry
huddies. The idea went big, especi-
ally as the "Y" retails two mans
size cakes with appropriate maple
syrup both for siXpence.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

To successfully finance the war 1t
is necessary that the owners OF LIB
erty bonds hold their bonds if pos
sible. Where for any good reason II
is necessary for them to turn their
bonds into cash they should seek the
advice of their bankers.
Liberty. loan bonds are very deslr-
able investments, and crafty individ-
uals are using various means to Sc
cure them from owners not familiar
with stock values and like matters
One method is to offer to exchange
for Liberty bonds stocks or bonds
If doubtful organizations represent
ID as returning a much higher IN
come than the bonds.
There are various other methods
used and likely to be used, some OF
the gold-brick variety and others less
crude and probably within the limits
of the law. All offers for Liberty
bonds except for money and at mar
ket value should be scrutinized care
fully. The bonds are the safest OF IN
vestments and have nontaxable and
other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty loan bonds II
possible, is patriotic. To consult
your bankers before selling them is
wise

WOUNDED SOLDIERS
SUPPORTING
SELF.

Wounded soldiers on the streets OF
Washington are not an uncommon
sight. and this fact hasdoubtless
speeded up the legislation which is
intended to provide vocational train
ing for diabled soldiers and sailors.
The government is prepared to put
couple of million dollars into the
work to start off with, since it is cal
culated that for each million men
sent abroad that ten thousand will
be returned each year to receive the
benefits of the legislation. This has
been carefully worked out by the
Allies, and the results in Canada
are accepted as the basis for the
plans of the United States. In effect
each wounded soldier is provided
hospital treatment and cared for dur
ing his convalescence. Then they
are taken in charge, and in many
cases taught trades, or provided en-
ployment. In Canada the wounded
soldiers have been returned to their
old employers in a great many cases
and this policy will be pursued here.
Farmers, as a rule, get back to their
avocations easily enough, and in
other lines the men readjust them
selves so that they become wage
earners and self-supporting indepen-
dent members Of society in a few
months.

Since New York passed its string

employment offices begging for
steady jobs. The authorities are
placing men as fast as possible as
there is plenty of work for every

LIBERTY MOTORS

1t is stated that the production of
Liberty motors is now in excess of
100 a day. Of this number, 60 are
being made in Detroit, 40 of which
are turned out by Packard. There
has been much argument about Lib
erty motors as to their worth, but
it seems that they are proving them
selves according to advices from
overseas.

The Sap Of Spring.

When the sap Of spring is bursting
the letters Of winter the general hui
man heart beats high. A few Of us
philosophers receive amid the rich but
sober tints Of autumn a happiness that
we would not exchange for any other
season, but we are a minority, and
small. The head Of one of the most
important departments at Washington,
who thinks about the processes of man.
kind, has a. theory that makes a regu-
lar curve Of the relation of the seasons
to the appetite for war. As the buds
open. every nation thinks It Is on the
edge of victory. This curve rises for a
while, begins to decline in the summer
and gets well down In the autumn.
The period therefore, when statesmen,
II they had decided to make peace,
could do It most easily, is from the
days Of goldenrod and autumn browns
to just before the greening Of the
buds. The story Of coal. a tragic
story to the poor. helps this curve, but
there Is in 1t much Of sheer poetry, In
dependent of more solid things-Nor-

Once upon a time-that Is before
the war-nothing ever presumed to
dispute the supremacy Of the tailored
suit for street wear, and nothing will
ever outclass 1t. But tailored suits
require men to make them and In
France the men were gone to war.
So "the dressmaker's dressv came In.
the one-piece, daytime frock made its
appearance on the street. We have
gone further now, as war has COM
PEELED economy, and we have two-in-
one frocks and daytime frocks that
are evidently made for street wear In
place Of a suit
Both q tailored suit and q daytime
fock for street wear are shown In

styles for young women. In the suit
the coat is made interesting by point
ed panels at the back and front, over
tapping pointed side pieces and fin
ished with rows OF large bone buttons
In its skirt. The sleeves are long and

attention to the fact that the coat IL
cut high In the neck at the back,
which is characteristic Of this seasons
