War Department viii Guard Health
of Girls Employed in Washington
The following statement has been
authorized by Miss Cocroft, regard
ing this work:
"These girls left their homes and
came to Washington as patriots, do
| ing their share of war work, and it
seems logical to me that we should
| look after their health and recrea-
| ton, as we look after the comfort
and health of our men in the canton
ments. I'm sure the girls will be hap
pier, more contented, more efficient.
| 1t least, | am going to do my best to
make them and their mothers at home
feel that the administration here is
their friend and the guardian of their
welfare"
