Of a good architect and the work of
remodeling the old hotel for the hos

ly.
1t is interesting to see the letters
that come from the workers who are
over there" Some expressions as
lit is such fun" and "it is a Won
derful experience" are Characters
tic They are found in one way or
another in every letter from every

Miss Blanche Geary. who superin-
tended the construction of the hos

City, Kan, Fort Worth, Tex, Law
ton. Okla, Plattsburg, y. Y, and
Allentown, Pa, and who is now at
the helm in Paris, writes that there
is nothing that the association, as
an organization. nor the United
states. as a nation. can do that will
be too much for France in the pres
ent struggle. 1T must be war to
the finish in order that il may end

age and patience and persistence of
the women of France who lead in
good works and their enterprise
after these dreadful years is mar
velous beyond words 20 describe"
Miss Henrietta Roelofs, another
worker, who is in service "over
there" and who was one of the first

Americans only knew how the whole
world is struggling. and is hanging
on its hope and trust i'm America,
they would wake up and do even
more than they are doing now. II

today. Surely America will not fail

And 10 the girls and the women
who are longing for service over

Every worker who is "Over there"
says substantially this; that a per

for Goldman Wanamaker and Lieut..

1914 Navarro will make some inn

probably install a French motto; in

The French pilot intends TO fly
across the Atlantic from South
America 20 Africa from a point near
Pernambuco i'm Brazil 10 I.akar in
French West Africa. The distance is
roughly 200 miles. and there are
several groups Of islands lying be

Because OF the nearness OF the
projected route TO the equator il is
believed that suitable weather can
be chosen when there will be little
danger OF violent storm interfer-
ring with the voyage. Besides Ma
varre as pilot, navigator and wire

Navarro is classed by many avia-
ton experts as the most proficient
French pilot who ever left the

with Il German machines destroy

meaning 10 the hundreds of weary
women engaged in the war service
of some sort or other, more than il
has ever meant 10 the thousands of
working women on this side in times
Of peace And that is saying a lot
for the work of the Y. W. q. A.
cannot be measured in dollars or
cents. nor in statistical figures; only
in gratefulness and thankfulness
from the bottom Of the hearts of
many homeless girls and girls who
are away from homes.
To the millions who gave their bit
to the fund for the establishment
OF the hostess houses in the train
ing camps and environments. it Will
be gratifying to learn something of
what has been done toward that end.
From Paris comes the word that
an American hostess house has been
established there for the comfort Of
American women who are there at
this time. The house is located at
Rue 33 Caumartin, Paris, France. 1t
offers hot water. steam heated
rooms, baths, social rooms and cafe
terra service. This latter is an en-
tireIy new thing for Paris. an exper-
iment SO 10 speak. But it had 10 be
done for the pressure that was put
upon the Y. w. G. A. for the open
ing of hotel was tremendous. The
American women cannot afford 10
pay the prices Of the big hotels and
the war workers certainly cannot.
The building that has been leased
for the hostess house is the old Pc
trograd hotel, about FIVE minutes
from every important spot in town.
The building is an old-fashioned
one, both in its architecture and the
furnishings. There are heavy wood
en- beds and velvet furniture. But
it is kept very clean and it makes a
splendid home-like place for the
women TO live. There are accom-
modations for about 200. but they
plan TO make it accommodate $50
very soon.
The parlors are beautifully ar
ranged and there is a billiard room
and also a large "barroOm" which
has caused a great deal of fun and
worry for the women who have been
trying 10 arrange the building. They
cannot discontinue the sale of drinks
for if they do. their license is auto
matically stopped and the govern

KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving in Y. N. c. A. "Hut"
in Training Camp Finds His
Duties Many and Varisd.

If there is a notion that Y. n. G. A.
work in the camps consists in selling
stamps and handing out pocket testa-
ments, let ii be dissipated at once.
One preacher, serving in a hut in
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
He has built fires, swept floors.
looked after hundreds of packages of
laundry, umpires basketball games, or
ganized a glee club, stage-managed a
circus, sold ice cream at the canteen,
and driven a flivver ten miles and
back three times a week TO provide
said cream. He has written letters
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
their first lessons in the English lam
guage. He has been a repository for
hundreds of heart secrets. and he has
served as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at a
time.
Perhaps oldest of his many tasks
was one that came his way on wild
anu StoTiny HiSHL III ApEll, when lle
master of arms at the military station
entered the ''Y' hut after taps, carry
ing a red box under his arm.
"Say," said the master of arms,
''we've got a lot of T. n. T. mines
stored at the station. Here's the det-
orators, in this box. There's consid-
cradle lightning around, and it isn't
safe to leave these things close TO the
mines. Would you just as soon take
care of the box over night?"
The Red Triangle man slept that
night Tor tried to SLEEPY with enough
high explosive under his cot to blow
him half way to heaven.

Sugar ~ to IS Cents a Pound.

In these days of tribulation, when
everything rises but fathers wages, we
all very consistently bemoan the high
cost of livinO. But this, observes Pop
ular Science Monthly, is not the first
and only time that prices have been
high. During the Civil war wages ran
from SLIP day for laborers TO 81 a
day for skilled workmen. This, how
ever, did not prevent shave from cost
ing 10 cents or a haircut 20 cents.
Hotel rates were $3.50 to 81 day,
and ice, which was considered great
luxury, was supplied at so cents a
week for 10 pounds daily. Strangely
enough sugar was the chief bone of
contention in those days, too, and 1t
cost u to 10 cents a pound.
