'. ". CAFETERIAS
 AID INCOME

During the activities of the Y. W. C. A in the raising of it's annual budget this week, special streess has been laid upon the fact that almost TO per cent. of the total expenditures for the year was raised from the operat- ing income. This embraces, Of course, a great many features, but. none of them give opportunity for so much business administration as the cafe teria.
 The association now maintains two large cafeterias, accommodating about 600 people. One of these is located in the central building on Golden Hill street, the other is in the big new recreation building just opened on Barnum avenue. Both of these cafe terias are under the management of a committee of volunteer women, who take active charge of the business.
 A woman skilled in producing wholesome, delicious food, at a price far below the average. yet sufficient to give the association an income, is in charge of each of the cafeterias

 FINE PROGRAM

In securing the services of the students of Miss Benita S1ocum's dancing school and Mrs. Elizabeth P. Wallach for the entertainment under the auspices of the Bridgeport Art League for the benefit of the Fatherless Children of France on to- morrow evening at the Bridgeport High school, the public will have a rare treat. Miss Slocum's pupils wIii interpret the Greek arts, masterpieces in sculpture and paintings in the dances which will awaken memories of the old Greek arts where artists and philosophers secure their inspir- ations.
 Every dance number is a complete surprise. Plans were carried out to the fullest extent in making the pres- entation one of the best ever seen in the city. Without doubt, the per formance will be a great success.
 Mrs. Wa11ach who has spent great many years in the South has a first hand knowledge of the negro dialect, his way of talking of old traditions, the pathos of his hunor and songs.
 and will be welcomed here in songs
 and negro stories. She is a profes-
 sionaI and operatic singer having achieved success wherever she has appeared. A great Bart of her train ing she received In Philadelphia, al- though later she continued her studies in Paris and other places abroad. She sang with Ralph Kinder at the Holy Trinity church in Phil adelphia a short time ago, and re- cefved much praise for her beautiful 1 voice.
 l In the negro stories, however. she 1 is at her best and so real, so genuine 1 is her characteristic interpretations l that one almost feels himself back | in the old Southern days with the olo negro mammy at the cradle relating 1 her gir1hood experiences and singing | her melodious lullaby.

''It is harder to live in a democracy
 without a leader than in an autoc-
 racy," said Miss Henrietta Roelofs,
 recently returned from France and
 England, where she has been in the
 service of the W. c. A, serving in
 the canteens on the battlehelds. She
 was addressing the generals, captains
 and team workers of the association
 last, night at the Industrial Recrea-
 tion center, Barnum avenue, who
 started the budget campaign of S22,-
 900 this week, and she related her ex-
 periences abroad and gave her views
 why the woman today has greater problems to face than before the war.
 In this new democracy of ours,Nshe
 told her enthusiastic audience, we
 must choose a leader. a leader that will solve both social and political problems that have arisen during the war. The Y. W. c. A. means more today to the women and young girls than ever before. Miss RoeIofs had seen what the association had done in France and England. and she told about the women of all classes, all ages. all races and creeds, working l side by side to win a military victory. During the war; she continued, "our thinking was stopped. except the idea that we must win Q, military vic | tory. In the ' huts it was under stood that social questions should not l ne raised for fear the girls might get 1 restless. And now you see what hap pened. The whole world is upset with 1 the political and social questions.
 And in this turmoil one principle rings out that the people shall have
 d government for the people, by the people---that is the unrest of the peo- pie today. The laboring classes have learned their power during the war They felt their possibilities and equal iues, because in the army there was equal value to our country
 The women, too, have learned their Ipower. They want political and social ] equality also. The women are to as Sume greater responsibilities now and the Y organization which assisted the women to take the places among the men during the turmoil. will now as- sIst them in winning the other vic torleS We are to be new citizens in
 new world and our pledge is to realize this fdeal to make world a de-
 mocracy today.
 The women in France are praised by Miss Roe1ofs for their great self control In their great amisfortunes they never complained, but held on
 to their ideals and remained calm
 and patient. resuming the work the men had left, smoothing as best they
 could the troubles surrounding them
 and the most marvellous thing of all
 was their absolute surrender to their

ideal. Before the "Y" secretaries came to France, the women had aI- most forgotten wdat it was to dance, sing aid laugh. Those women in the intuition factories are now facing the greatest of readjustment trials and again they are appealing to the Y. W. c. A. for leadership, and for guidance in this democracy, she said.
 Mrs. A. M. Cooper, field marshal in the campaign, spoke briefly of the aims of the association, how the work started 25 years ago, was very limited and mas now grown so tre- mendously that enlargements are needed every day The association strives to help the girls physically, mentally and spiritually. The sev- eral centers and branches of the or ganizatfon established everywhere has been ideal for the girl in this coun- try.
 The annual campaign money will be used for the continuance of the good work.
 Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Albert E. I1avcry outlined the work for the gen erals and captains and team workers last night at the banquet. There were about 300 women present who will canvass the city throughout the week for the campaign. Every ptain and her workers occupied a table. Miss Chary Smith and Mrs. George w.

Bridgeport formerly was the states center of roller skaters and it is expected that many will carry their minds and activities back a few years and try it again.

 The special committee in charge of the Easter ball.

 Finger Severely Injured.
 While playing with her brother yes- terday, Cora Thompson, daughter of Frank O. Thompson, met with painful and possibly serious accident. The boy picked up a large knife from table and it is thought that the children were playing in a rough and tumble manner when the boy wielded the knife with considerable deXterity, nearly severing his sisters finger. Medical attendance was secured and the rapid loss of blood was checked. It was at first thought possible that the finger would have to be ann putated.
