Financing Rest Room.
In financing a rest room two items of
expense are to be considered-initial
cost of furnishing and the annual cost
of maintenance. A rest room may be
financed wholly or partly by the wom-
ems organizations until arrangements
are made to meet the expenses through
public appropriations. 1t may be
financed through town or county ap-
preparations or by private individuals,
or by any of these in combination.
Usually the permanently established
rest room is located at the town hall
or county courthouse since appropria-
tions can be made annually for the
maintenance of such rooms from pub
lie funds. When financed by private
individuals the money is either a be-
quest or gift, or the money spent for
the rest room Is considered by the mer-
chants as bringing returns in increased
trade. In such cases there is no ex-
pense to the women making use of the
room and the value of the cooperation
of women's organizations lies In their
making known the location of the
room and thus insuring more general
use of 1t.

How Colorado Women
Financed a Rest Room

Private solicitation and a county ap-
preparation enabled the establishment
of a rest room for country women at
Grand Junction, Colorado. The fur
nishings of the room and the matron's
salary were provided by an organiza-
ton composed of a number of rural
women's clubs. One hundred and fifty
dollars was appropriated from county
funds and a like amount from town
funds to pay the cost ofthe rent and
heat of a convenient room, as no quar-
ters were available in any of the pub
lie buildings. For furnishing the room
contributions were solicited from men,
bers of the organization and from the
merchants In town. To pay the ma
irons salary of S25 a month pledge
cards were issued, each calling for the
payment of 5 cents a month. In two
years the demands for other sctivities
in connection with the rest room de-
veloped and the monthly expenditure
increased from $50 to S160 a month.
This additional amount was provided
from profits from a restaurant estab-
lIshed In connection with the rest room
and by subletting space for a woman's
exchange. The total receipts from all
sources averaged S160 a. month, which
amount is expended in carrying on the
various activities undertaken.

REST ROOMS FOR
NEEDS OF WOMEN
Clubs Work With Local 0rganiza-
tions to Establish These
ConvenienceS.
FINANCING is NOT DIFFICULT
Furnishings Of WeII-Equipped Room
Should Be Simple, Comfortable
and Durable-Members Donate
Pieces of Furniture.

Rest rooms have been established in
more than 200 counties in the United
State to meet the needs of country
women In town on business. They pro-
vide a place where the farm woman
has a right, without asking any favors,
to the use of facilities for rest and re-
freshment. They have been established
by woman's rural organizations in CO.
operation with other local organiza-
tions, with individuals, and with vii
lage, town or county authorities, by
business corporations operating pri-
vate markets. and by individual mer-
chants. Where farm women's organi-
cations have been interested in estab-
fishing rest rooms, local farm women's
clubs have been able to arouse the nee
essary community interest in the need
for rest rooms to insure their financial
support. This has been done through
cooperating with other local farm
womens clubs, with organizations of
women In town, with civic leagues, and
with chambers of commerce, and with
county agents.
Room in Oklahoma.
In cooperating with other clubs in
establishing a rest room any local farm
women's club may take the initiative.
A rest room was established in an Okla
homa town through the cooperation of
four women's rural clubs. A committee
from the club interviewed the business
men of the city. but met with little en-
couragemeDt. They were told that rest
rooms had been tried and were fail
ure, that some of the stores had rest
rooms already, but that they were not
used by the country people. After
three weeks OF effort member of the
committee le0rned of a vacant room in
the courthouse that could be used for
n rest room If permission were obtained
from the county commissioners. Mem
bers of the committee and their friends
called upon each of the commissioners
to request the use of the room and to
psk his advice as to how to proceed.
AS result the matter was brought
formally before the commissioners at
their next meeting and the room placed
at the disposal of the members of
these organizations.
The furnishings of a well-equipped
rest room should be simple, comfort
able and durable. As an example of
rest rooms furnished by a group OF
country women's clubs whose members
personally donate pieces of furniture
or secure them as gifts from various
interested merchants, one may be cited
which is provided with rocking chairs
straight chairs, table with reading
material. oil-cloth covered lunch tables
q couch, crib, and screen. Free
Telephone service and electric lights
are furnished. Clean sheets and pill
low cases may be secured from the ma.

are glad to give assistance to or
ganizations of women desiring to
establish rest rooms. Specialists
of the bureau of markets are
particularly interested in pro-

in marketing centers. A recent
publication of the bureau of
markets, "Rest Rooms for Wom-

cusses the plan and gives spe-
cific advice on the various de-
tails. Frequently the county
home demonstration agent or
