letter has been received from the
west central field committee OF the
national board of the Young Woman's
/ Christian Association for Colorado
| Kansas, Utah and Wyoming, IN which
a large per cent of the public may be
| interested.
An urgent demand has come from
France for trained workers to render
10 the young women employed in the
! munltlon factories in France the same
service that the Young Mems Christian
association is rendering the men in the
trenches. The French government has
appealed to our national board for
fifty trained workers to go to France
at once for this work, and already
these women are on the way.
| 1t has been the experience of both
the French and British governments
| that women workers cannot be kept
at their highest point of efficiency
with but three factors in their lives
work, food and sleep, but that they
| must nave proper recreation. There
tore, the Young Women's Christian
association is sending the finest train
ed recreational leaders in this coun-
try to France to help in this most i'm
portant phase of war work In ans
wer to request to the international
secretary of the Young Women's
Christian association in France for the
establishment of foyers provided with
| comfOrta BILE rest rooms reading rooms
! and cafeterias where tired women and
| girls would find sympathetic friend
| ready to advise, comfort and lend
| helping hand when needed, seven of
| these foyerS have already been estab-
/ lloAlSOI anu more must Hollow. In our
| own country one million two hundred
and sixty-six thousand women are al
ready engaged in war industries and
more are being added to this num-
| Der every day. These must not be left
| without proper recreation and leader
ship in their idle hours So you see
! how our work is expanding and our
| interest growing.
! Mr.. Lloyd George has said that If
the women in the munition factories
should stop work for twenty minutes
! the cause of the allies would be lost
SO you will realize the Importance
| of the work which the Young Women's
Christian association is now doing"

Who has always contended that he

He seemed to have gained the idea
