variable result is that the favored
guests enter a realm of perfect bliss.
Never yet was there man who failed
TO enjoy this kind of attention or WHO
failed to do justice to the meal served
him And Oh. the boys are so crate
full for the hospitality and for the OPP
portunity to catch glimpse of home
life!
Perhaps the best OF all the features
about the war camp community SER
vice work is that 1t aims to reach the
humble. the lowly, the friendless and
the homesck. II makes no distinc-
lions as to rank unless, indeed, its
sympathy iuclines the most towards
tho unostentatious private who has
gone forth from home into world OF
utter strangers. One pat on the back
sometimes brightens whole week
for such poor mortals, while the smile
OF a kindly matron is like the beneh-
cent sunshine from heaven. And
Richmond supplies these pats and
smiles.

A constantly increasing share or the

Richmond Boat Club Signifies It's Intention Allow Use of It's
Place to Week End Visitors in Uniform-Dances
Also Play BigPart in Entertainment.

Tarh week sees additional features
linked to the work OF the local war
camp community service, which is
a constantly ramifying sort of phil
anthropy, nor does the soporiferous
weather Of midsummer in the least
abate the enthusiasm of those who
would add TO the comfort and well
fare OF visiting soldiers and sailors.
Perhaps the psychology of It all
lies in the fact that Richmond her
self has hundreds OF sons in the sery-

are in distant lands she would min

would have her own boys ninistered

Variance of View Develops.

The communication goes on to say
that during these studies 1t develop
ed that there was a difference of
opinion among engineers and ex-
perts as to the relative merits of
manual and automatic equipment in
solving the problem in Washington
under present conditions; for exam
Pile, some advocated making the
start at the central Offices. while
others advocated making tho start
at the substations, particularly at the
private branch exchange stations
Taking into consideration the ne
cessity for maintaining the integrity
of the service during the present
stress of war conditions" concludes the
report. and considering the divided
counsel of engineers and experts with
the wide variation in the estimates OF
tho probable resulting cost of making
radical changes in the character OF
equipment, and, moreover, having In
mind the injunction of the federal
government against the unnecessary
expenditure of money, the company Is
of the opinion that the present Is not
the time to take chances In making
radical changes in the character Of its
equipment, and that the wise, safe
and economical course is to adhere to
tHo pISSetit system OF So-Cditeu man

rience in actual operation had demon-
strated that 1t can render adequate,

Many Questions Unanswered.
Many questions asked by the com
mission related to automatics, all of
which, the company says. 1t cannot
answer for the reason that II does not
propose to install automatics
