MAKE FRONT LIKE HOME

Stars and StripeS-A coy, inviting,
home-like house where lonesome
doughboys will find friendly and
charming American girls to talk with
them and make sandwiches for them
and sing to them and dance with them
around the phonograph-a series of
such houses to be opened in all those
crowd thickest-that is the proposal
10 being perfected by various Or
CARNATIONS in and outside the army.
They will not be Y. M. C. A. huts
nor Y. w. c. A. huts nor hostess
houses" in the sense of that term as
it has been used in the environments
back in the States. The hope is to
create something that will deserve
the name of Substitute Home. The
present plan is to open the first Of
these homes as an experiment in a
town close to the front. 1t will be
manned (%laughter) by II American
girls.
This house and all that may follow
it is based on the realization that. in
an army Of young men from three to
six thousand miles from home, there
are times when there is nothing in
the world a soldier needs and wants
quite so much as just the chance to
sit and talk with the kind of girl he
used to call on in his own home town,
that there Is nothing that would do
his pep and his immortal soul more
good than just the chance, once in a
while, to drop into a pleasant house
made friendly and pleasing to the
eye by the artful hands Of some gen
tie American women.
There would be rooms to read in,
would be teas and ice cream parties.
Certainly there would be card games
and dances. Above all, there would
be just such h~eart-to-heart talks as
the wall of every veranda in Ameri-
ca could tell II walls had ears.
There Is no present intention of
barring anybody from these hospitable
houses. There is no reason why a
man, just because he has been com
missioned. should therefore be coldly
received. But these hostesses will be
blind to bars, and officers wishing 10
come to the party must spiritually
hang their Sam Browne belts on the
fence outside.
II the first house is a success and
the plan unfolds throughout the A.
e. F.. there Is no reason why the
staff Of each house. should not be
supplemented n any given afternoon
by American girls who happen to be
working in that vicinity.
In many a center there are charm
ing nurses. telephone girls, Y. M. C.
A. aids, Y. w. c. A. workers. Red
Cross girls-such as the veterans of
the Smith College Unit-a small army
of devoted American women in France
many OF whom have the gifts and the
goodwin to play occasional hostess in
such q house. In addition to those
who might be summoned from Ameri-
ca for the purpose. the houses would
therefore do q big work II they did
nothing else than provide places

IL you buy a 500 bond Of the

enough money to give him complete
outfit Of winter and summer clothing,
including shoes and stockings. and
slicker and overcoat and blankets,
with enough left over to arm him with
good revolver. You have done that
much to beat back the Hun.
1t takes S35 more to arm him with

you buy a second Sl00 bond you fur
nish him this rifle and 1000 cartrid-

Besides the productive work of

sailors, and other additional features
which will be constantly moved into
the regular program, the Junior Red
Cross will focus each on some special
activity. The detailed program for
each month viii be made public in

exact date and place will be announ-
ced later. In the following weeks,
previous to this event, teachers and
pupils should be planning and making

giving articles or by furnishing ma.
terials to the children for sthem tC
work up. The money made, will be
turned into the regular Red Cross
funds, as the Juniors no longer keep
their funds separate from those Of
the Seniors.
The work of the Junior Red Cross is
in many cases the only opportunity
the children have for definite pa
triotic service both individually and
as school. The teacher grudgingly
permits the work TO be done or if the
school authorities insist that this work
must be done after school hours, in
evitably the idea must be formed in
he child's mind that patriotic service
lls not necessary and desirable part
of daily life, but an extra duty to be
grudgingly performed after the real
Ndiuts Ol NE are stcuTtu.
Let us tie up the idea Of patriotism
which we wish to plant in the hearts
of the children with the most attract
i've things in their experience, and lie:
us give to their patriotic endeavor,
the same prominence that we hope
patriotic service will always maintain
in their lives.

fruit pits and nut shells, from which
carbon can be made to protect our
soldiers against poison gas Peach
