speaking population is very important There
are many homes where English is not spoken
from which the husband or son has gone into
service. The Y. w. c. A. sends visitor to
such home, and she explains to the family
in it's own language the various questions
which have been found puzzling.
This same service looks after the immigrant
girls who have come to this country by the
thousands since the beginning Of the war,
some to earn money to send to those at home,
some to prepare home to which to bring
their friends or family when the war is over,
and some merely for safety and protection
Another important feature is the recreation
and club work conducted by the association for
the purpose Of "guiding the patriotic i'm
pulses of girls near the camps" score Of
women physicians are lecturing to the mothers
and daughters throughout the country on $50
cial Standards in War Time" Recreation clubs
have been formed in factories where girls are
employed, led by women trained to teach all
sorts of games and sports.
The Girls Patriotic League, which is un-
der the auspices of the Y. w. C. A., has en-
rolled two hundred thousand MEMBERS each
one Of whom has signed the pledge card, which
reads as follows:
~ pledge to express my patriotism by
doing better than ever before whatever have
to do by rendering whatever special service
can to my community and country, by liv-
ing up to the highest standards Of character
and honor and helping others to do the same"
At the Y. w. c. A. headquarters they tell a
story of a girl who wore the button Of the
Patriotic League She was very pretty girl
and she was accosted by soldier on Staten
Island ferryboat.
"Whats the button, sister," he asked by
way of opening the conversation.
"That button" replied the girl, "is going
to make New York safe for men like you."
The soldier was silent for minute and
then he touched his hat "Goodby," said he,
'if you don't mind my saying so, you're
little bit Of all right"
With all these activities, the work Of the
Y. w. c. A. is not confined to this country

HELP SENT ACROSS THE SEA
Strange as it may seem, the first call for
help came from Russia, long before this coun-
try went into the war. A group of Russian
women, unable to cope with the new economic
religious and industrial conditions for women
throughout the Russian Empire, asked for the
help of experienced Y. W. c. A. secretaries.
Two women set sail Immediately, and since
then seven other workers have joined them,
these including a physical director and two
cafeteria experts. Tearooms presided over by
the latter are in fine running order in Moscow

Mr.. Cummings, "the purpose of the
selfish and reactionary interests OF
America becomes more end moro ab~

fear the President and have no sym
pathy with the progressive measures
which have been enacted under his
leadership. They seek to tie the
hands Of the President and control the
machinery OF the Government through
the agency of the Republican party.
'SThe stakes for which they are
playing are high and their resources
are enormous. The country will be
appalled, when II learns to what ex,

The Ehipbuilding adjustment board
has announced an increass TO men In
all parts OF the country. The basic
crafts are granted 80 cents an hour.
Previously on the Pacific coast these
crafts had received 65Z cents an
hour, and on the Atlantic 20 cents.
The board reached the new national
wage figure by computing the in
crease in the cost OF living since the
scale was last fixed and adding II to
the existing scale. The increased cost
of living on the Pacific from October.

Applying this to the basic crafts the
