The National Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs has started ia fund to es-
tablish furlough houses for: our Amer
lean soldiers in France, and ~At.yester-
days meeting the league voted to
contribute what is asked OF every
clubwoman-one dollar. Much en-
thusiasm was. evidenced among 1.-The
members in this project, and they
decided to give the fund in personal
contributions rather than to take the
amount from the treasury Of the Or
~ganization. These furlough houses
are being established upon the ad-
vice Of Raymond Fosdick, director of
social activities for the soldiers, and
other experts in welfare work among
the men at the front. They will be
planned Int conducted much along
the lines Of the Y. NJ. C. A. and
knights Of Columbus huts, and will
fill q big need for the men on fur
Tough. French and English soldiers,
ii given furloughs, can in most cases
get to theh homes of their families or
friends, but the American soldiers
have no place more cheerful or home
like than the hotels and other public
places in which to spend their FUR
loughs. The American clubwomen
have undertaken to provide a restful.
homelike house for them when they
are granted leave from their strenu-
Gus work in the trenches, and the.
Civic league is probably the first
woman's organization In this state to
join in the movement. So
