Girls Want Rooms.


Many demands have been COM
ing to the Y. W. C. A. by girls of
the city who want rooms, some for
just rooms and others for light
housekeeping rooms which groups
of girls rent. The Y. w. c. A.
keeps a list of available places but
there is a demand by more than
they are able to accommodate. Miss
Sarah Schmidt, industrial work
secretary at the association has
charge of this department, and she
asks the cooperation of women
who have rooms which they rent to
girls by notifying her, so that she
may help working girls in Rock
Island.
1t is expected that with the open
ing OF school the demands will be
heavier than ever and Miss Schmidt
is trying to get a waiting list ready
in anticipation of that time. The
association has a dormitory where
girls can room, but all of the rooms
which are not kept for transcients
are in use most of the time.
