be in Richmond this coming week to
appoint Y. w. c. A. district repre-
sentative who will carry on previous
to the big drive an educational cam
paign about the war work Of the
Y. w. c. A.
The government has recognized the
Young Women's Christian Association
as an invaluable resource in helping
to win the war Now that there are
about 100000 women holding in.
dustrial positions in the United States
today, the government has turned to
the Y. w. C. A. for help In the prob
lem of housing these girls. The asso-
citation with it's vast experience in
building homes especially suited to
women. is erecting model houses which
the government will use as patterns
in establishing homes for its war
workers.
In communities where there are
large numbers Of women workers, the
Y. w. c. A., is planning to build and
maintain social and recreation centers.
These are really clubs and provide
girls with home-like surroundings and
healthful recreation. The general
plan of these club houses Is much the
same, There Is a large rest room
with easy chairs, writing tables and a
victrola and pianola. There is an
other large room suitable for drills
and games; then there Is shower
room and q cafeteria when one isn't
operated by the owners Of the plant.
twenty-five such homes as this are
now being established in government
cantonments where tens of thousands
of girls are working on war orders.
These club houses are called Indus
trial War Service Centers. A girl
does not have to belong to the Y. w.
C. A. to enjoy the privileges of these
clubs.
The Y w. C. A. hostess houses in
army camps are familiar to all who
visit soldier boys. They are erected
by the Y. w. c. A. at the request of
the government and meet one of the
biggest needs of the camps
These are only few of the activi
ties with which the Young Womens
Christian Association want to acquaint
the public before asking them to sup
port their war work.

to his brother Orville Brunson at the

with invitations and sweet smiles and
glad eyes; they feed us tea; they
smoke our cigarettes. hold out little
hands and kiss US in public places.
1t is enough to corrupt even the most
ardent woman hater. But It IS just
friendliness In them and desire to
see what kind Of people we are"
In explaining his work in London,

Decrease in Number of
School Children Anticipated

twentypercent decrease in school
attendance is anticipated by one of
the largest book dealers of the city,
and the supply of school material was
ordered accordingly by him. The
sale of books so far has been greater
than in former years but this is ac-
counted for by the dealer from the
fact that many of the smaller towns
do not handle the books this year and
children of the township schools are
forced to come into the city for their
supplies.
j. H. Bentley, principal of the Rich
mond high school, is not expecting
any such decrease, however.
