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 De
financed wholly or partly by the wom-
ems organizations until arrangements
are made to meet the expenses through
public appropriations. It 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-
lions can be made annually for the
maintenance of such rooms from pub
lie funds. When financed by private
individuals the money is either 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 a more general
use of it.

ROOMS FOR

Rest rooms have been established in
more than 200 counties in the United
States to meet the needs of country
women in town on business. They pro-
vide q 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-
tons. 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
women's 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 wOElen's rural clubs. A committee
from the club interviewed the business
men of tie city, but met with little en-
couragement. They were told that rest
rooms had been tried and were a 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 a member Of the
committee learned Of vacant room in
the courthouse that could be used for
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
ask his advice as to how to proceed.
AS a 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.

How Colorado Women
Financed a Rest Room

Private solicitation and q county ap-
preparation enabled the establishment
of 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 like amount from town
funds to pay the cost of the rent and
heat of a convenient room, as no quar-
ters we're available in any of the pub
lie buildings. For furnishing the room
contributions were solicited from mem
bers of the organization and from the
merchants in town. To pay the ma
irons salary of $25 a month pledge
cards were issued. each calling for the
payment Of 5 cents a month. In two
years the demands for other activities
in connection with the rest room de-
velOped and the monthly expenditure
increeScd from $50 to $16O 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 $16O a month. which
amount is expended in carrying on the
various activities undertaken.

BIG GERMAN DRIVE
MAKES NO HEADWAY
TIDE OF BATTLE sURGES TO AND
FRO WITH DECISION STILL
IN THE BALANCE.
AMERICANS IN THICK OF IT
Report Says From Four to Six German
Divisions Have Been Hurled
at Ypres Salient.

The great double German drive, in
the Somme and Armentieres sectors,
has developed into terrific struggle.
The tide of battle has surged to and
fro during the last two days, with the
decision still in the balance. The Brit
ish, having been forced back out OF
VilIers-BretOnneuX, launched. coun-
ter-attack and swept the Germans
back almost to the lines which were
held before the present fighting began
The French have been driven back out
of Hangard- En-Santerre but are hoId-
ing their positions close by, while on
the line southwest of Ypres, the Brit
ish have been compelled to withdraw
slightly before furious attacks along
the Meteren-BailleulWy line.
Wounded Americans are arriving at
a hospital behind the French lines IN
the Somme sector, showing that Gen
eral Pershing's men are bearing their
share of the burden of the great bat
tie.
Notwithstanding the frantic prep
arations made by the Germans for
continuance of their drive toward
Amiens, and the extreme violence Of
the fighting, their guns thus far Tin
that region have been very small.
Along the line from Albert south to
Castel, except at Hangard-En-San-
terre, the German assaults have been
hurled back by the allied forces, which
are strongly posted on the higher
ground to which they retired during
the last days of the German drive in
Picardy.
Germans in Desperate Effort.
It is unofficially reported that four
to six German divisions, or from 49,
900 to $4,000 men, have been hurled
at the British in this sector must have
been small, for there are no great
gains reported by Berlin so far. 1t
was Eumored Thursday that Munt
KENNEL, a dominating height north
of Wulverghem, had been taken by
the enemy, but this has not been con-
f1rmed.
That only slight gains have been
made anywhere along the two fronts
have been subjected to attack is proof
that the allies are prepared to defend
their positions. In the last three
weeks, the Germans have hurried up
heavy cannon to the old Somme bat
tie ground and have marched many
fresh divisions to the points where
they have been held for the moment
OF attack.
