A corps Of translators and inter

foreign-bOrn women whose husbands
have been called into the service In
such Intimate questions as the laws
relating to rentals and labor, In the
care of children and In how to use
American foods in dishes adapted to
foreign tastes and present high prices.
This last work is done in cooperation
with the Government Food COnserva-
ton Commission and the Home Dem

Leaflets are sent out and articles
circulated through the foreign newspa-

Gus.
When the United States entered
the great war the Young Women s
Christian Association was, as always
working among women. With the
call to new duties its members did
not abandon their old responsibilities.
The War Work Council was formed
as an emergency measure to take
care OF the women who were caught
in some OF the mazes of war, just as
the parent organization has taken
care of them through many years Of
peace. The varied activities decided
upon by the War Work Council fol-
low closely the needs of the differ
ent communities of the country Sec
retaries trained in the methods Of
the organization were sent out
broadcast. They were instructed to
report to the National Board of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tons in New York the lines of work
which could be best followed in the
various localities. These secretaries
work in close cooperation with min
listers, womens clubs, chambers of
commerce, churches, military officials.
and charitable societies. The rec
ord of days doings of a secretary
reads like novel, an economic
treatise, and a psychological essay
all compressed into a line-a-day entry

Thanks to Miss Hull a Chillicothian
