SHOPPING FACILITIES
FOR GIRL WORKERS
New Jersey Munitions Plant Estab-
fishes Department Store for
It's Women Employees

NUM- ions plants have recognized
that feminine help must be catered
to- The latest development in this
direction is the establishment of a
full-fiedged department store at New
Jersey factory, where the girls en-
ployed in shellmaking can spend
their spare time shopping.
The store has long since passed
the experimental stage, and is now
on an assured footing.
Every effort is made al this par
ticular munitions shop to make the
young women comfortable and happy
in their work. They are able to get
rooms for $3.50 a week in new and
pleasant dormitories, and a cafeteria
is provided at which meals are served
at reasonable prices.
There are frequent dances and band
concerts every night. There are
graphophones, pianos, and even a
manicure parlor. in the dormitories.
But the girls still lacked something
"a department s.ore-and the want was
quickly filled.
An enterprising Philadelphia es-
adjustment put in branch store in
the welfare building at the plant, and
line of goods designed to attract
the young women in the factory was
provided. 1t is now possible to buy
at this store anything from a paper
of pins to a complete travelling out
fit at the prices prevailing in the city.
There is a complete assortment of
candy, shoes. toilet articles and other
objects dear to the feminine heart.
The clerks at the store are re-
sourceful, and thereby they have sue
ceeded in solving another problem
that of getting wedding presents. Re-
Gently a girl in the factory married a
young man in the town. Her compan-
ions went to the store for suggestions
for wedding present, and were adj
yised to buy chest of silver, which
was promptly ordered and shipped
from the main store.
An interesting feature in the report
regarding the store which has reach
ed the Department of Labor is that
the girls are making heavy purchases
of yarn, so that they may knit for
their soldier relatives and friends, or
for the boys who have no relatives
and friends, at the front.

WAR MOTHERS ASK
NATIONAL SANCTION
Favorable Report In Congress
Upon Federal Charter For
New Organization
CHANGES IN MEMBERSHIP

The District Of Columbia Commit
tee having decided that the National
organization of War Mothers of Amer
lea. of all war organizations is the
most entitled to honor from the hands
of the National Congress, the Federal
charter for his organization has been
reported favorably.
During recent years Congress has
refused TO grant Federal charters, in
sisting that all organizations desiring
Federal recognition accept District of
Columbia incorporation papers.
The committees report pays high
tribute TO the mothers, wives and Sis
tiers of Americas fighters.
Chairman Ben Johnson, of Ken
lucky. chairman of the committee,
who at first could see no need for
such an organization of War Mothers,
has become one of the strongest boos-
tiers the War Mothers now have in
Congress.
II believe the House will pass the
bill without single dissenting vote"
Congressman Johnson said, as he
signed his committees report.
He hoped to call the bill up for a
vote on District day" Monday, if the
Army Appropriation bill is not ready.
IL cannot see how any American
Congressman can refuse this request
for national recognition for the War
Mothers" said Congressman Denton,
of Indiana, who introduced the origi-
nal bill last spring and who intro
duced an amended bill including as
charter members thousands of War
Mothers from 81 states.
Denton has worked day and night
on this amended bill. His Office has
been deluged with letters from hun
dreds of cities. all from mothers,
wives and sisters of American War
winners, who wanted to be charter
members.
The amended bill makes some
changes in membership and organi-
cation plans, as adopted at the ma
tional convention of War Mothers held
in Evansville. Ind, in September. 1t
includes in membership the mothers,
wives. sisters and daughters of wo-
men as well as men in active mill
tary service. and gives the sanction of
Congress to the constitution and by
laws adopted at the Evansville con-
Yenion.
If the bill passes the House it will
go to the Senate where similarly
amended bill be introduced by Sem
ator Watson. and win probably re-
ceive favorable report from the Mill
tary Affairs Commit ee-despite Sen
ator Pomerene's announced inten-
ton of sticking in clause ending the
organizations life at the end of the
war.
An effort may be made to have the
amended bill referred to the Senate
District of Columbia committee. which
is believed favorably inclined to the
War Mothers movement.

FEWER CASES AT MEADE

A marked decrease in the number
of new 'fiu" patients is reported at
Camp Meade The quarantine at the
Odenton cagtonment may be lifted
this week
A further decrease in the number OF
new cases of influenza a. this army
training camp has served to convince
the authorities that the epidemic is
on the wane 1t is probable that the
quarantine, the officials say, will be
lifted during the latter part of this
week or early next week, if the de-
crease continues and once again pass
es will be issued for the lads to visit
their homes over the weekend.
The most pleasing feature about the
report for the twenty-four hours end
ing at noon yesterday was the big fall
ing off in the number of new cases
of pneumonia. Only 35 more deyel-
oped this disease, which has taken so
many lives Of the young Americans
who were eager and anxious to fight
in France for the cause of justice
and righteousness. The number of
new cases of influenza also totaled
35. Thirty-nine deaths were reported.

He was again taken i'll and is suffer
ing the effects of relapse. The little
baby girl Dorothy is the only one in
the house not sick as even the maid
was taken i'll and had to go TO her
home.
In many families where there has
been sickness the maids have been
similarly afflicted and there is no one
to wal, upon the sick ones except
kind neighbors. not themselves af-
fiicted
In many instances servants are so
filled with fear of the disease, that
they refuse to go to families where
there is sickness.
