for the food others went into the long
batteries of baths, throwing out their
yern1in ridden clothes to be sterilized
while they scrubbed their bodies back
to a healthy glow.
What luxury it all was-food, tables,
chairs, things to read, games to play,

The long train Of freight cars whined
and grumbled as it strove to stop. In
the doorway of a great low building a
white capped and gowned woman re-
leased a sunny smile and, turning so
her voice carried into the building,
called out, "They are ours; get ready
for a rush."
Just how she could tell they were
"ours" would be hard to explain, for
at the moment she spoke hundreds of
the dirtiest, grizzliest men a woman
ever saw came fairly tumbling out of
the freight cars. A moment more she
was welcoming this muddy rabble with
a laugh and cheering words.
