Mrs. Henry P. Dawson, treasurer
of the Wa Work Council of the Y.
w. c. A., tells in Good Housekeep-

that organization is accomplishing.
She cites the following incident as an
illustration:
"In an Illinois prairie town lives a
widow who launders seventeen bas-
kets of wash a week and every night
the hearts of women. To her came
one day a letter from her only son.
He was then at Camp Funston, Kan
sas, learning to be a soldier. The
letter begged her to come and see him
before he was sent to France.
THE mother opened the tin bank
in which she had been boarding her
dimes and quarters against this day.
The money vas scarcely enough. New
ertheless she started. She walked the
first eighteen miles. Then her
strength gave out, and she took a
train.
"She did not know that visitors to
Camp Funston stay in Junction City
eleven miles away. So she got off the
train at Fort Riley. An officer set her
right and she reached Junction City
after dark. She found a roomihg-
