Zone Is Fixed for
Garment Makers
Factory Sites Planned Be-
tween 31st and 18th SITS.
and 9th and 9Th Avs.

The Save New York Committee has
decided upon a section of the city as
suitable for garment manufacturers
who will be compelled to find new quar-
ire of the industry as fixed upon by
and their choice has been approved by
several important firms. The new CEN
ters of the industry as fixed upon by
the Save New York Committee will
extend south from the Pennsylvania
Station to Seventeenth Street, and will
be bounded on one side by Sixth Ave
nue., and on the other by Eighth Ave
nue..
This district, it is pointed out, is
conveniently situated for manufact-
urers. Property values are relatively
low, the front foot valuation of side
street lots being as modest as 81 900
in some instances Most Of the build
ings now occupying sites in the future
garment trade centre are old and can
be torn down without great expense to
make room for modern industrial
structures.
J. H. Burton, chairman of the Save
New York Committee, conferred with
Goodwin Starrett, of 'Starrett & Van
Week, architects, with the result that
a style Of building has been evolved
to meet all requirements of the trades
without injuring neig hborng property
values.
The proposed district has been ap-
proved by Harry Cohp, Of J. c. STRAIT

Smith Girls Unit
Is I'm Direct Line
Of Germans Fire
Fears Are Expressed for
Safety of Reconstruction
Workers

Fear for the safety of the Smith Col
lege reconstruction unit in France,
which is located at the Chateau Robe
court, few miles west of st. Quentin,
was expressed by Miss Ruth Gaines. a
member of the unit recently returned
70 this country. at meeting held yes
terday at the home Of Mrs. William
Mitchell, 80 Riverside Drive.
The Smith College women have been
doing reconstruction work in the dew
astated villages of the Aisne. Recently
the nelghborhood in which they were
located passed from the control of the
French and British armies, and this
may operate for the safety of the wom-
en- to-day.
"The British are much more strict
about the work of women than the
FRENCH said Miss Gaines. "and We
were the only women who were allowed
IN the army zone. 1t is extremely prob
able that just before the battle began
the British ordered all of our women
back to Paris. If they did not urdoubt-
eddy they are under fire to-day. for our
chateau is only a few miles west of
St. Quentin.
I'VE were ordered. when we first
went there, to have gasolenc always on
hand IN case it was necessary to get
away quickly. Some of our workers
happen 10 be in Paris just now. ! know,
pending new arrangements which have
TO be made with the British commander
OF the villages, and some of the new
arrivals from this country have been
held up in Paris for the same reason.
Therefore it is impossible to say just
how many are still at Robecourt. SO
far as know, however, the following
are still there: Mrs. Barrett Andrews.
director; Miss Lucy Mather, Miss Mar
garet Wood, Miss Alice Leavens, Miss
Millicent Lewis, Miss Marion Bennett.
Miss Marie VOLTS, Miss Katherine
Hooper and Miss Ruth Jesselyn."
Miss Gaines described the various
activities of the Smith graduates, who
have turned their hands to everything
from milking cows to peddling tinware
by motor truck through the devastated
villages.
Yesterdays meeting, which was un-
der the auspices of the intercollegiate
Alumna Association, was for the pur-
pose of listening to Mrs. Mary C. Beres-
ford, executive secretary of the commit
tee on women's war work abroad, for
the association A plan is being dis
cussed whereby intercollegiate units,
similar to the Smith unit, will be sent
abroad by the association Vassar Col
lege has organized unit under the
Red Cross and Wellesley has one al

seven applicants already for the first
Intercollegiate unit. Each member
must have 81 900 for her first year.

Spanish Influenza
Rapidly Spreading
Persons Weak and Rundown Easy
Victims---Fortify Yourself by
Taking Tanlac


authorities the Spanish Infiuenz;
epidemic is rapidly spreading Il
all parts of the country, and i
now seems that practically every
State in the Union will be seri
ously affected before it runs it:
course.
1t has not only become a great
and terrifying menace to the
public health, but unless checked
it is apt to seriously affect the
progress of war work in all its
various departments. Already
the Shipping Board has announc-
ed that ten per cent of it's work
ers had been affected.
The disease has made its great
est progress in the east where it
has claimed its victims by the
thousands. Reports from other
sections, however, are equally
alarming; and both civil and
military authorities have warned
the public to take every precau-
ton to prevent its further spread.
In many cities schools, churches
and theatres have been closed
and public gatherings of all kinds
forbidden.
Medical authorities agree that
people who are weak and run
down are the earliest victims of
the influenza epidemic. If you
find yourself tired, weak and los
ing flesh, or if you are in a gen.
orally rundown condition, or if
you catch cold easily this warning
should be Needed promptly. You
are really in great danger, be-
cause the germ of this disease is
very catching and you are apt to
fall an easy victim if you come
in contact with the germs. Peo-
pie who are we'll and strong are
not likely to contract the disease
because they are able to throw it'll
off. The common sense way7to
keep from taking it is to fortify |
the system against attack by |
building up the constitution.
In other words TO use the old |
adage, AN ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure" And
If you are in a subnormal condi-
ton the proper thing to do is to
begin Immediately. to build up
your powers of resistance. To
accomplish this, nothing on earth
will strengthen you and build
you up like Tanlac, the powerful
reconstructive tonic, which con-
tains the very elements needed
by the system to give you fight
ing strength and ward off the in
fiuenza germ.
First of all Tanlac begins its
action by creating a good healthy
appetite for wholesome, nourish-
ing food, and assists every organ
Of the body to perform it's natur-
al functions, thus helping to
build up health and strength in
the natural way.
Tanlac is also the ideal streng-
thening tonic for persons who
are suffering from the after eff
fects of influenza, grippe or
bronchial troubles and hundreds II
If thousands are using it daily
With the most gratifying results.
In connection with the Tanlac

no reform has been put into execution
