HOW new YORK CITY
CARES FOR YOUR BOY
Jerry Hegarty, From Butte, Mont,
Says the War Camp COMMIT
nifty Service Greats the Uni
formed Men Just Right"

Jerry Hegarty, for whom a star has
been placed in the Butte (Mont)
Miners service flag--he was a former
employee of that newspaper-wrote
from New York city to friend as fol-
lows:
II am booster for New York. They
treat uniformed. men just right, do so
much for them In fact, we could not
take in one-tenth of what was free to
US.
''The War Camp Community Service
is the big thing in New York. We
slept in hotel in the heart of the
city, with a bath, for % cents Satur-
day night, breakfast for 10 cents, or
30 cents for the best, including ham
and eggs At 9 a. m. the street in
| front was lined up at both sides with
automobiles, some busses, and we took
seats, no crowding, and started out to
see the city. Each of us had guide
book with the important places shown.
Each car had plenty of cigarettes Of
the best kind, cigars, and one Of the
cars had a beautiful young girl, who
delighted in showing the boys the inn
portant places. The car was hers, and
her chauffeur was driving I cannot
start to enumerate the different sights,
but we saw all of Fifth Avenue, Riv-
erside Drive, Central Park, WoolWOrth
| Building, where we went to the top,
| So stories, and took a view of the city !;
saw the Tombs, Bridge of Signs, the
East Side, Bowery, Chinatown and lots
and lots of other important places.
"On Riverside Drive we got off and
had our pictures taken and visited
Grants Tomb. The visit to the tomb,
| which is a $650000 one was very i'm
pressive, as everyone walked in on
their toes, hats off, and if they SPOKE
! 1t was only in a whisper. No orders to
be quiet, but it reminded me of some
one just passed away. The tomb
seems to be built in the prettiest part
of New York, overlooking the Hudson,
with Palisade Park on the other side
of the river The park is on hillside
and at night is very nicely illuminated.
SAT u 80 p. N. we got back to head
! quarters again, with numerous invita-
| tons to dinner, and it kept US less

for the matinee We finally had a
good chicken dinner. with lots of ice
cream and cake and cigars, near the
theater district. given by Catholic Wo-

"At 2 p. m. we went to the Casino
theater, where the talent of New York

hours. There were several other the

War of the Roses.

The war of the roses that never ends
is a war to vanquish beauty with
greater beauty. For long ages, since
history began, this has been going on.
Japan and India, Serbia and Persia
cheered on contestants a dozen centu-
ries before Damascus gave to the Cru
saders the damask rose for occidental
culture. Decisions" have only tenn
porary significance. For example, as
Paris gave Venus the award of beauty,
his namesake city gives southern Cali
fornia the gold medal, the prize of
honor at the Bagatelle competition.
But California must meet world COM
petition in years to come and must
maintain her form or get out of the
running. Rose culture is a progressive
art.
AS for the Germans, we believe they
were not represented at Bagatelle.
That does not matter much. In this,
as in their science, the Teutons are
rather imitators than originators. True

W. C. C, SIS WORK
FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS
twenty-five Towns and Many
Churches Cooperating - Ten
Club Houses Already Built and
Seven More Are Now Under
Way.

For some reason a negro soldier
can look lonesomer when he is lone
some than any one else in the world
For the love of heaven let's think of
something we can do for him" The
speaker was a War Camp Community
organizer in one of the western train
ing camps months ago. Where his
eyes then saw a bare stretch of prairie,
with disconsolate looking negroes scat
tered here and there, now stands a Spe-
cial club for them under the auspices
of the War Camp Community Service.
Early in our present war history the
need for special recreation centers for
the negro troops in training camps be-
came apparent all over the country.
This need the War Camp Community
Service saw, and as a result there are
today ten clubs for these men in as
many camp communities. There are
seven more under way, while Newport
News is planning her second. The in
terest of both white and cOlOred ele-
ments in the communities near the
camps has been aroused, and twenty
five towns now have special commit
tees to carry on activities for the ne
gro in uniform. Cooperating with the
War Camp Community Service colored
churches in many camp cities have
opened rest rooms for the negro SOL
dierS when in town on leave.
When one considers the tremendous
number of negroes in service (the to-
! tai called in the draft for five days in
| June was 30000O) and that these men
{ are leaving homes and families all
over the United States to go to strange
| camps for their training special atten-
| ton to their needs in the margin of
time from camp duties seems decided
| ~ essential There is good reason for
| the negro soldier or sailor to 'look
| Ionesomer than any one in all the
world if there is no provision made
| for his comfort in hours off duty.
The largest of the negro War Camp
! Community Service clubs are located
at Des Moines, Ia. Battle Greek,
Mich. Louisville, Ky; Chillicothe, o..
Petersburg. Va, and Newport News,
Va In each one facilities similar to
men are available. Also there is every
encouragement for the negroes native
musical gifts, and community sings,
with banjo accompanies, are featured
in all the clubs
Nowhere is the finer community spir-
it which Will result from war work in
camp cities better illustrated than i'll
the work now being done all over the
country for the negroes. Much Of it is
done by the cooperation of white and
colored people Jointly interested in the
projects. And as for the results with
the negro soldiers themselves re-
mark of one guest at the Negro Army
Club at Des Moines is eloquent. He
had just had refreshing shower fol-
lowing game of pool and was then in
yited to the club dance.

Small Economies, Great Results

| Local Southern Pacific Off
cials said today that the railroad
is now manufacturing it's owr
ink, mucilage and paste as a wal
time measure.
Encouragement is also given
the $4,000 employees of the Pa
|cific system to apply thrift to
their office work. One result oi
this is the use of 10000 paper
tubes to put over pencil stubs.
On the tubes is printed "South-
ern Pacific. Avoid Waste. Use
Your Pencil Stubs. +"
The Southern Pacific uses
nearly 1000 quarts of ink annu-
ally, 2,4OO quarts of mucilage
and proportionate quantity of
paste. Difficulty experienced
in securing these articles, both
in the local and Eastern mar
kets, led the company to begin
manufacturing experiments at
it's Sacramento shops. The
products thus obtained are said
to measure up with the Govern
ment test of these articles and
a great saving in cost is ef-
fected.
H. G. Cook, general store
keeper, has charge of the task
of supplying the Southern Pa
cific's many needs and of ac-
counting for all the supplies on
hand.

An Expression of Thanks.

/
Mrs. A. M. Gillespie desires to
extend her thanks to the public
for the liberal patronage ex-
I ,,lded the song recital given un-
der her direction Saturday even
ing for the benefit of the Red
Cross, and at the same time /, !.
express her gratitude to thc Sc
who assisted her in, preparation
and rendition of the recital; al
though she experienced a few
disappointments from those who
promised their support. 4
If rushing the performance
the past week on account of low
funds, she feels repaid, however,
since the handsome sum of $15(
was realized.
There is not much for sur
prise that the association does
not thrive when members of the
Red Cross entertain the same
evening that a benefit perform
ance is given, although the large
price of the tickets was paid. 1t
lis not SO much the small cash
which counts as the influence.
What organization can sue
ceed without cooperation of
members? 81
This is no time for competi-
ton, jealousies and petty feel
ings. In this time of distress
"over there" is it a time to ques-
tion the value received?
No one is independent these
days when we belong to our
government absolutely, and
should respond to every call for
help; especially for the Red
Cross. How else are our soldiers
to be cared for?
If the call comes to give up
our husbands, our boys or our
property, we must submit un-
questioningly. Therefore, with
whom, when or where, the Red
Cross should come first; and
then pleasure.
