Perfect Plans For
WV. C. A. Work
Maryland Organization For
War Relief Work Is Per-
fected; Chairman
Named

The organization of the War
Council of the Young Women's Chris
tian Association has been rapidly
perfected in Maryland, and the Ex-
ecufive Committee of which Mrs. DON
aid Eymington is chairman now has
representatives in every county in
the state. This Executive Committee
has divided Maryland into five sec
tons or district with a chairman for
each district, who has in turn ap-
pointed individual county chairmen.
Mrs. Symington, who is the execu-
tive chairman Of the War Council in
Maryland and who recently returned
from New York where she was pres
ent at the meeting with representa-
tives of the seven big war associa-
tons that are combined at the request
of the government for the great war
drive in November, has made strong
appeal to the people of Maryland to
support these Associations, and in an
interview given recently at the War
Council headquarters in Baltimore,
41S Equitable Building told in most
interesting manner of the work of the
particular Organization of which she
is the state head.
"Of course most people to-day real
ize the need of the Y. w. C. A., in
peace times" she said to a represen-
tative of this paper can organiza-
ton to take the girls side in a COM
munity's peace life-but do people
through the Counties know the part
the Y. w. C. A. is playing toward
the girls in a community at war?
Can we look through our city and see
girls running our elevators, driving
our trucks, taking the conductors
place, running lathes in munition fac
tories, waiting in clubs and hotels
and not realize how much more pro-
lection and guidance she needs now
than ever before?
Can we know that in Washington
where more girls pro rata are employ
ed in emergency jobs than anywhere
else that there are at the rate of
fifteen girls for every ten sleeping
places? An excited girl in strange,
overcrowded city, no place but park
bench to sleep upon, and these girls
come from our villages, country towns
and farms. an we know these facts
and see the ample, clean, safe and
homelike house the Y. w. C. A. pro-
vides for these unanchored girls and
not rejoice that there is such an or
ganixation? -
"Can we see the confusion in the
family of the foreign-bon soldier,
none of them, himself included, speak
ing much English, reading none at all,
and yet being told that their boy must
leave them, probably forever? Why
does he have to go? Why does he
have to fight? They came to America
because they thought that here they
would find freedom. Out of their
confusion will the Y. w. C. AS in
terpretsr bring peace and comfort
because she can speak their language
as wen IS Americas, and she tells
them that this freedom they came for
has been challenged even in America,
and that it must be brought into safe
ty again oh, so 1t is that way; Oh,
for those reasons they are glad to
give their sons

Y. w. C. A. FIRST TO WEAR UNI
FORMS

When the order went out from the
War Department that all civilians
working in camps must wear uni
forms, the Y. w. C. A. wor' had
already ordered theirs.
Y. w. C. A. workers in France, of
which there are about hundred, have
worn the French officers blue uniform
with the silver buttons and the Blue
Triangle on the sleeve and hat for
several months. The Blue Triangle,
indeed, Is already familiar in France
over the doorways or at the side of
door castings at sixteen different CEN
ters besides all the nurses clubs at
American base hospitals.
The Blue Triangle is in use in this
country to mark the ninety-three hos
tess houses already opened or build
ing IN the army, navy and aviation
camps, the one hundred and twenty
seven club centers and all the War
Service club houses being opened in
the Government munition eenters.
All these places have been opened by
the War Work Council since the war
was declared.

alike thrilled with the new and mar
velous freedom of a distant and for

proper housing for the girls, acting as
their chaperones and guardians.

and in the camps abroad, place in

with all our minds and hearts, they
need our support, but as men and
mothers we need theirs for our sons
and daughters.
"And how about our boys-that boy
who is leaving the protection of his
home and influence for service over
seas?
He is going to a country whose
language he does not speak. Who
looks out for him there? His govern
ment is making him the best kind of
soldier possible, the most efficient
fighting machine to defeat the Huns,
but here his government must leave
him. Here it turns him over to the
Welfare Society.
"Men cannot fight if they are uncom-
Portable, lonely or discouraged. We
are to cheer them, rest them and
keep them in touch with their loved
ones, to do for them the things their
faraway homes would do if they could
reach them. And much more than
all this, we are to increase their stat
ure as men, by heightening and crys-
talizing their vision of why they are
fighting. Some men are in the army
unwillingly, because of the draft law,
some because they are ashamed to
stay out, some for adventure, some
to shirk disagreeable responsibility.
All of these must go into the fight,
and we must see to it, not for these
reasons, but because of the ideals for
which America stands, regardless of
race, they are shown American ideals
in all their Christian dignity. If they
are shown these things during their
training they will go into the fight
with the right vision, and those who
come back will be better fitted to
take America on to the great things
that are ahead for her. This job Of
morale, of patriotic education and of
general happiness of the men who
are giving their lives to keep Ameri-
ca free has been intrusted to the
united efforts of these seven societies,

A Wartime Recipe
For Gray Hair

Gray, streaked or faded hair can be
Immediately made black, brown or
light brown, whichever shade you de-
sire by the use Of the following rene
dy that you can make at home:
Merely get a small box OF orlex
powder at any drug store. It costs
very little and no extras to buy. Dis
solve It in water and comb It through
the hair. Full directions for mixing
and use come in each box.
You need not hesitate to use orlex,
as a $4,000 gold bond comes in each
box guaranteeing the user that Orle1
powder does not contain silver, lead
zinc. sulphur, mercury, aniline, coal
tar products or their derivatives.
It does not rub of. is not sticky or
gummy and leaves the hair fluffy. It
will make a gray haired person look
twenty years younger.

FIFTY-SEVENTH
CHAPTER


Late in the afternoon. / went into
the next coach to talk with Mary
Thomas. She had been in New York
to offer her services as an entertainer
for conVaIescent soldiers in foreign
hospitals. OF course she was reject
ed-she had not the necessary Gre
dentials. She was disappointed-and
bitter-I could see.
AS we talked. noticed that a man
who was riding backward was flirting
over his wife's shoulder with pretty
girl In font Of me. He was not
young man. The sock his wife was
knitting might easily fit soldier son
of his own. The fact seemed to make
his filtration doubly vulgar. Scenes
like this had watched before in res
taurants-and once at a symphony
concert.
clever to put It over the little wife,
said Mary Thomas IN a sarcastic tone
which astonished me. 'You see I've
been thinking good deal. lately.
The man passed down the aisle Just
then and swerved awfzwardly with the
weaving Of the train in order that ne
might drop a note into the pretty g1rfs
land tomorrow, no matter what ap-
pointment they keep" commented
Mary, che will have forgotten the girl
who Hatters herself that she can
make him forget his wife,
'"While the wife will continue to
move serenely and securely in her
own dignified orbit" suggested.
''They think they exploit her-when
they are only exploiting each other!
THAT'S It precisely Mary agreed:

value to a man." remarked sagely

"Sex determines every great step in
a woman's life" went on working
out thought new to me. I'VE pre-
tend it isn't true. A mans career is
shaped by entirely different Influences,

'AThis war ought to teach US bet

"At least it has taught me, as war

Hartley's store carries a large sign
In the window which urgently asks for
helpers in battling with the Fairmont
'sFIu'' situation. Women are needed
whether trained nurses or not TO go
into the various homes and into the
influenza wards In the Cook Hospital
Nurses Home, to help nurse those az
dfcted with the disease. Volunteers
are asked to report In the Jacobs
building: MS the situation Is very cr1-

This morning I appeared at head
quarters and Immediately was asked
aaye you come to nurse? a general
worried appearance OF those IN charge
convinced me that here at any rate,
no personal considerations were up

time and the utmost interest to the
work which came to them. Out on
the streets things were different.
There seemed no strain-no parGcu-

Many women have made this re-

There are plenty of ways but so many
responsibilities that are not sutE-
