American Women May
Now Do Great Service
For French Women
and Girls

Now is the time for American
women to help French women and
girls" says Miss Henrietta Roelofs,
head of the Y. w. c. A. work in
France, now in this country on leave
of absence. Miss Roelofs was form
cr1y of Grand Rapids, Mich, where
she was graduated from Erie college
ard later became a teacher.
Everybody who knows the
present industrial and home condi-
tons in France, is asking what
French girls are going to do now
that the war is over" says Miss
Roelofs.
Five years ago French girls were
being sheltered in their work hours
and supervised by their mothers and
guardians in their free time.
"All this is changed. Today,
French girls are working in factor
les by thousands, not only on day
but also on night shifts. Nearly, a
million girls worked in French
munition factories during the war.
Fourteen thousand girls are en-
ployed in the Offices Of the ministry
Of war in Paris and thousands more
of them are working in offices of
other cities, side by side with men,
as French girls never worked before.
"All these things are new in
France. Even home life is altered
Refugees and the various armies
which include vast numbers of
r,echanics, clerical workers and
professional men who have followed
the soldiers in numbers second only
to the fighters themselves, have had
to be housed, and France has done
no building since the war began.
Living rooms and even dining rooms
have been Communicated for lodg-
ers.
"All these changes have come so
suddenly that France has had no
opportunity to evolve a welfare
system such as American and Great

Officer B. J. Brophy, the selectmen nave decided to postpone for a week the annual town meeting. which would have been held tonight (Monday) in the town, hall. It was considered not advisable to bring a. crowd together for this meeting and so run thea dam ger of spreading the contagion.
 A charch1esS day in Norwich on Sunday made the streets unusually quiet looking in the morning hours and there also seemed to be fewer people than usual on the streets in the afternoon and at night.
 Quotes Remedy.
 Rev. L. W. Frinks of 15 Alice street quoted the following home remedy on Sunday evening, which he said had been used with great effectiveness for the grip when it swept through New England 25 or 30 years ago; at that time it was published in a Boston newspaper with the statement that it had never failed to be effective:
 Take 10 or 12 raw onions and chop fine and put in a, large spider over d hot. fire. Then add about the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to form a thick paste Let it simmer five or ten minutes. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, then put it. in cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs, and apply to the chest as hot as the patient can bear it. When this gets cool apply another and thus continue by re-heatings the poul- ticess and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger.
