same as the men. It used to be we only had to wear them on duty, but there is new commander who has completely turned things upside down, and also ordered that we must salute the officers. so l TRAVEL THE BACK STREETS. They take good care of us, as regards our health, and we wear masks while working, as a preventative against Spanish Influ- enza. Think we start tomorrow. If a girl has the slightest sign of cold, she is hustled right to the doctor.
 The work is easy and I don't feel much as if I'm working. We work on six hour shifts For the next two weeks I work from 12 noon until six in the evening. Then after that from 6 a. m. to IF noon, then p. m. to 12 midnight, so you see have plenty of time for myself. There are eight girls working in our office on each shift. There are about 50 all together in the different departments of the Cable Censors Office.
 We have to take the oath, etc., just the same as the men. l didn't get 8 bit sick when took the typhoid fever innoculations and the doctor told me he wished they were all as lucky as l was. The last one made me sleepy but not bit sick. Some of the girls were very sick, tainted, etc.
 Am glad Kingman went as high on their subscription, San Francisco is way behind. This new peace move seems to be hindering it some.
 Last Sunday the San Francisco Chronicle took moving pictures of Col den Gate Park ,and we had to march in the parade. The pictures are to be sent to France so that the soldiers can pick out their relatives and friends. 1 was right in the front row of our girls. It is to be shown in one of the theatres next week. Think I'll go and see myself" in the movies. "you never saw such a crowd in your life. Think every one in San Fran cisco was there. Some had big signs with, Hello Harry-love mother," etc., and some woman had baby about six months old and was holding it up in the air. The baby had big sign on it, "For- q forget the name) This is your new son waiting to greet you." It was great affair and every one was very much enthused over it.
 We have to drill twice week and am getting to be quite a soldier. When the Home Guard is taken over by the women let me know and I'll come down and give you few point CTS.
 I miss all my friends in Kingman very much and often wish I could drop in for a little visit with you. Believe that l was wise in leaving though as the change has benefited me wonderfully. There are so many chances for hearing good music and seeing things of interest too which 1 enjoy very much. Tuesday night 1 went down to the St. Francis to hear a very fine concert. Three Russians gave it. It was very fine, in fact too much so for me to be able to appre- ciate it as much as one should
 D. m. Just got back from work, and as I told you we were to wear influenza masks, perhaps tomorrow we'll they had them ready for us to- day. You ought to see us in them, They are made of white gauge and our whole face is covered except the eyes. We have to wear them all the time while on duty, for 35 days. They are awfully hot and don't know but what the preventative is worse than the dis ease. However they are not taking any chances. All the girls who have cold were sent over to the doctor for treatment.
