Y. w. c. A. RECEIVES PRAISE
FROM FRENcHEEN.

The war work being performed by
the Y. w. C. A. in France has been
carried on without banners and drums
but it is steadily making its impact.
A Y. w. c. A. secretary was waiting
in the reception room of the Inter
Allies Club in Paris when q young
French officer addressed her.
1.-THE Y. w. C. A. is doing a wonder
full piece Of work with the French
women in the munition factories" he
said. II have. seen 1t myself. I was

Suttee,

The English government, after long
discouraging suttees, by the agency of
Lord William Bentinck formally abol-
lshed them in December, 1922 but
they have since occasionally taken
place. The wife Of the son Of. the
Rajah Of Beygoon thus persisted in
June. 1864. and several wives Of Sir
Tung Bahadoor, minister Of Nepaul,
on March 1. 1877. One voluntary SUIT
tee occurred at Poona, in November,
1890. and 1t has continued to the pres
ent time in isolated parts Of India,
for even as late as 1905 several per-
sons who took part in n suffice in Be-
har were condemned to penal servi-

Y. W. c. A. HOUSES WoMEN's
SIGNAL CORPS.

Pacific coast girls, as we'll as men,
are answering the War Departments
call to service. With a detachment of
the American army, more than thirty
women from California and Washing.
ton sailed for France on a government
transport the middle OF June.
These girls are members Of the
fourth unit Of the Women's Signal
Corps. Eighty per cent of the sixty
are college graduates. Several Of
them are from Leland Stanford and
the University Of California. They
are part of the $50 accepted from the
1000 women who offered themselves
for this service. Some of the number
are still training in this country.
Almost every state in the country
and many colleges are represented in
the unit.
American women will entertain the
girls while they are in Paris. The
unit will be billeted there to the
Young Women's Christian Association
as II was on this side while awaiting
sailing orders. Like the unit which
proceeded It, It will be housed at the
Hotel Petrograd, the Y. w. G. A.

MANY SUGGESTIONS.
RESULT IN REFORM.
Rail Bureau Receives Nearly
800 Letters Daily of Com

Director General McAdoo and his
railroad administration are finding
out, through the new bureau of COM
plants and suggestions. what the
people think of the railroads under
government control.
The people think many good things
and many bad. They write praise and
condemnation of policies and indi-
vidual employees.
Some of their suggestions are de-
clared practical and many not. 1t is
the accepted complaints and sugges-
tons into action which will effect
reforms and explain to all other writ
ers reasons for practices against
which they protest.
Nearly 300 letters pour into the
bureau every day, and hundreds OF
suggestions already have borne fruit
in reforms. AS results, train schedules
have been changed to permit better
connections for commuters. obsolete
baggage practices involving extor-
tionate charges have been eliminated,
strayed shipments of household goods
have been traced, public facilities in
stations and coaches have been i'm
proved, inefficient and discourteous
employees have been discovered and
even more capable and accommodating
railroad men have been commended
and recognized.
More than fourth of the letters
complain against inadequate passen-

answer to each complaint, explaining
that in war times perfect train serv-
