However, the game failed to last the
four regulation 10-minute periods
when the Concordia eleven objected to
a ruling by the referee and walked or
the field. with seven minutes more to
play. The trouble came when Concor-

the Concordia players marched off the

$3.50 against National League pitching but just what

FOYERS IN FRANCE.

-Four departments of the French
Government have asked the American
Y. w. c. A. to open social and recrea-
ton centers for girls employed by
them-Finance, Commerce, War and
Labor.
Lieutenant Poncet of the Ministry
of Labor recently requested that this
Y. W. c. A. work be begun for girls in
his Offices after seeing the social and
recreation centers which had been
opened at the request of the Ministry
of War. Sixteen centers of this kind
are operated in six cities in France,
Three of them are in Paris.
The last of these Foyers des Alliees
is for girls who are working in the De
partment of Labor. 1t is far down the
Seine, under the shadow Of the Eiffel
Tower, and overlooks the Quai d'Orsay.
The rooms are bright and cheerful,
with chintz hangings and cushions,
comfortable chairs, reading and writ
ing tables and a fireplace. A kitchen
has equipment so that girls can pre-
pare meals for themselves. They go
to the foyer for their two hour lunch
con time, for social evenings and for
classes in English.

100000 YANKS ARE
Y. w. C. A. VISITORS

-Four hundred thousand persons and
more served in the cafeteria in one
year is the record of the Y. w. c. A.
Hostess House at Camp Lewis, Amer
lean Lake, Wash.
The majority of the 100000 diners
were mothers, wives, sweethearts and
friends who went to the camp to visit
their soldiers. The remainder were
soldiers themselves who broke the mo-
notony of "chow" with home cooked
meals. In addition to all these guests,
$4,000 little children were cared for in
the nursery and the rest DON served
10000 tired wives and mothers.
The workers at the information
desk received and answered $1,000
questions varying from how to get the
best connections to a destination clear
r the continent, the rates Of sol
.diers' insurance and the kind of Gre
tonne a girl bride should have in her
living room now that Private John is
coming home from France. Eleven
thousand of these queries required tel
ephone conversations with various
company commanders relative to hunt
ing up a soldier whose parents had ar
rived Unexpectedly.

NURSES PRODUCE WILD
WEST PICTURE SHOW
Entertain Roumanian Countess al
American Show in France.

Entertain Roumanian Countess at
American Show in France.
Picture shows are being put on in
France without cameras, scenery or
any of the necessary properties, ac-
cording to reports reaching the Ma
tional Y. w. @. A. from a Y. W. c. A.
nurses hut in a Base Hospital.
Having no film or camera, the
nurses at Base decided to put on a
living picture show and invited a
group Of nurses from a nearby hos
pital to be the audience. 1t was a
real thriller, one of the wild and wool
ly west variety, with bucking bron-
choes and wild rides on broom and
mop horses.
Imagination supplied the scenery,
with the exception of placards, which
announced "the sun" when it was sup
posed to be shining or "cacti" when
the cow punchers rode across the
desert.
Countess Vacaresca of Roumania,
who had been talking to the nurses on
conditions in the German courts at the
time she was lady-in-waiting to the
Queen of Roumania, was the most ap,
preciative of all the guests.

FROM Becoming CndrWoman.
When the war work of the Y. w. G.
A. in Russia has all been told one Of
the most interesting stories will lie in
the establishment of the first Women's
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
There day after day %princesses work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple,
unlettered women, and the money is
used for self support of these prin-
cesses and notable women as well as
/. for the peasant classes.
The need and suffering throughout
all Russia was so great at the time
the Association was established that
1t was a problem to find where the
money would help the greatest mum
Der Of people. It was thought best to
,expend 1t to help capitalize organlza-
lions for giving work and permanent
opportunities to families and individu
ais to earn their own living.
The women bring their handiwork
to the Association for sale or take or.
ders to do dressmaking, millinery, etc.

Porto Rico has a cafeteria. 1t is the
first one established on the island, and
when it was opened in the Y. w. e. =
Hostess House at Camp Las Casas the
natives crowded around, much amused
at the innovation. They insisted upon
having American dishes.
The house became very well known
in a short time, and a group of women
from San Juan volunteered to go out
every week to mend socks and sew on
buttons for the soldiers.

OLD RELIC OF REVOLUTION
Boston statehouse, Now Fully Re-
stored, Is One Of the Most Inter-
esting in the Country.

The old statehouse In Boston was
erected In 1918. In early days the first
floor was used as the Merchants ex-
change, and the second story as the
meeting place of the governors OF. the
province and the royal council. A few
feet from the eastern porch occurred
the Boston massacre on March 5, ITO.
In 1883 Washington reviewed from
this building a procession In his honor.
and In 1885 William Lloyd Garrison
took refuge there to escape from the
mob that had broken up the anti
slavery meeting, and threatened his
life. In later years the building was
turned into business offices and was 50
much altered, inside and outside, as
almost to destroy the original architec-
tural effect. In 1881 It was restored
by the city at the request of the pub
lic-spirited citizens. and is now In the
custody of the Bostonian society,
which occupies it. The rooms, includ-
ing the old council chamber and hall
of representatives contain a collection
of relics and paintings of revolution
airy times.

STOLE SAVINGS
OF LIFETIME
Thieves Make Complete Cleanup
in Office of Aged New
York Sexton.
GOT UP FIRE ESCAPE
Bold Robbery, Which Leaves Old
Gentleman Practically P%enniIess,
Committed With Police Officer
Less Than q Block Away.

New York.-When Thomas Brown,
the aged sexton at st. Agnes chapel of
Trinity parish, at No. 121 West Nine
ty-first street, entered his Office he dis
covered that $1,000 in cash and Liberty
bonds, representing his savings of
more than fifty years. had been stolen
from the safe.
Brown has been sexton of st. Agnes
chapel since 1t was built, 81 years ago.
For Is years previously he had been q
sexton at old Trinity.
Office Found In Chaos.
Papers were strewn about, books up
set, the safe door oper and the Office
In a state of confusion, Mr.. Brown
said, when he discovered his loss. A
fire-escape ladder hangs from the sex
toms office, which is on the second
floor, and it is Mr.. Browns theory that
the burglars used this to reach his
office. They forced the window and
ransacked the office at leisure.
Of the loot, $500 was in Liberty
ponds, which We're unregistered and
r therefore transferable. The re-
naming $1,000 was in bills. Besides,
there were stiekpins, cuff links and
other articles of jewelry, which were
taken. Many of these, Mr.. Brown
said, he treasured for their sentiment
tai value.
That's all there was for them to
take" said Mr.. Brown. "But they
made certain that they would not over
look anything. They went through
and overturned everything"
Mr.. Brown sleeps in the parish
house, but SO far away that, as he
says, "they could have burned the Of
fee and wouldn't have known it."
Patrolman Block Away.
Apparently the burglars made their
escape. the same way as they came in,
although a policeman was On post less
than a block away.
There is little chance of recovering
the money or the bonds" said MI.

when a cow began to scratch her back
on the bottom of the ladder and start

COW and she ran her horns through

started off in a gallop, carrying the

travelled. 1t was but a short ride for
the painter, who struck the ground
uninjured, but the COW carried the lad
