Miss Goddard Tells
About war Library
Work Done In France

Miss Alice Goddard. former libra
RAN of the local Public Library, has
returned from canteen and library
work in France and visited Mrs.
Henry Dillon. of State street yester-
day.. Miss Goddard will be entertain
ed by the young women at the library
at a luncheon today and will then
leavef for New York city.
Last evening Mrs. Dillon held an in
formal reception at home for Miss
Goddard n many of her friends saw
her and listened to her accounts Of
interesting experiences.
Mss Goddard did library work and
canteen work in Dion until July first.
The library at Dion was kept open
long after most of the other had
closed as one of the Universities
which the American soldier was al
lowed to attend, was situated in the
city and the library was open for ref
erence.
The library was situated IL a Y.
M. G. A. building. The "Y" had taken
over a building formerly a boys
school and one wing was devoted ex-
clusively to the circulation of books
and a reading room.
Miss Goddard attended to the dis
tribution of books to the camps and
regiments encamped within a certain
radius. In the town of Dion books
were sent to the Y M. C. A, the K.
of c.. the ]. w. b. and the Red Cross.
The library was open from 10 o'clock
until all hours of the night.
In connection with her library work
Miss Goddard did canteen duty
throughout the day. In the first
place Miss Goddard enlisted for can
teen work, but owing to the short
age of Librarians overseas she took
up that branch of work again.
July first, after leaving Dion she
was assigned to a short duty as hos
tess at the Y. M. C. A. women's club
in Paris. She had the rare privilege
of being in Paris over July 4 and
July IA, during which time General
Pershing vas in Paris to review the
troops which had just returned from
the banks of the Rhine. Miss God
dard was sorry to say that she had
met comparatively few lads from this
city or in fact that she knew at all.
AS far as future plans are con
cerned Miss Goddard intends to take
a rest and hen settle down for the
winter. She will not return to Perth
Amboy.

Silversand Lake, My Birthday.
I'll celebrate the day (if a girl can
call it celebrating when she is twen-

Something melodramatic. if not

SUPPLY TOWN SPRINGS UP.

Correspondence Associated Press1
London, Jan. 27.--On the banks OF
the Thames. less than twenty miles
from London, there is an American
town Of the mushroom kind such as
You might find in a new California
oil field. Its population consists Of
more than 200 white men and about
$50 negroes. 1t covers So acres which
nine months ago were fallow grass
land. The business of the town is to
receive, sort and store war material
1t is the great American supply depot
in England
There Is street Of wooden nuts

iron store sheds a quarter OF mile
long, office buildings. water supply
and electric lights. the whole sur

sentr!es and much mud. All day long
the khaki-clad negroes push and haul
railway trucks full of war material
Englishmen peer over the hedge and
ask satirically If the United States
doesn't know that the war Is ever
If they ask an officer for enAghten-
ment about this strange camp. his
explanation is something like this:
america came into the war with
both feet, banking on at least three
years Of it, which was the safe thing
to do. Our government made con-
tracts with British manufacturers to
supply our army with tons of war
material. from a tin tack to steam
roller. The British factories built new
plants and took on new hands to meet

smoothly when the armistice was
signed.
III we had scrapped our contracts.
some British firms might have been
driven into bankruptcy. putting thou
sands OF men out Of work and leaving
the factories with tons Of useless ma
teral on their hands. So the United
States government merely cancelled
orders for material that had not been
actually started on, and told the fac
tories to go ahead with what they
had in hand.
This place Is the collecting station
for that material. We are receiving
tractors for guns, entrenching tools.

netting, stacks Of asbestos roofing for
hospitals, timber frames for huts,
wheelbarrows. shovels, pickaxes. bolts,
screws and "a lot Of other stun. We
are going to store 1t all here and sell
it later on. It will all be useful, and
we can wait for the market. The
manufacturer couldn't have waited"

Moderate setbaoks Characterize Pit
Quotations Due TO Uncertainty in
Hsrbor Weakening Infuenee-Oats
and Provisions Sag.

Chicago, FAB. 2T.-Failure to set a
minimum price on hogs for March
gave downward swing today to the
corn market. Talk of strike OF har-
Dor workers at New York acted also
a. a bearish influence. Selling, how
ever, was not of an aggressive char
acter. Opening prices, which ranged
from - cent to 1as cents lower with
May at SIPS to sl.25% and July at
sl.2oTs to s1.2lS, were followed by
moderate additional setbacks.
Efforts to rally the market brought
increased offerings The close was
steady, unchanged to 2Ts cents lower,
with May at sl.oS to sl.2SS and July
at sl.l9&.
Oats were governed by corn. After
opening unchanged to p cent lower,
with May at SAN cents to 59& cents,
the market continued to descend.
Provisions.
Provisions like grain awakened as
result OF the absence of any certain
y that hog prices next month would
be upheld by agreement.
General selling took place and maxi
mum declines resulted all around.

LAMSON'S MARKET REPORT.

Masonic Temple; Phone 1893.
Chicago, Feb. 27-Corn - Opinion
was unanimous that unless definite
action was taken by the food admin
stration the $3.50 minimum on hogs
would expire tomorrow by limitation.
Selling Of corn on this theory and on
the increased receipts and poor de-
mand resulted in a substantial set
back. The trade is very much divided
as to the probable trend Of the market
and irreg ularity is about the only
thing indicated in the immediate OUT
look
Oats-Oats were weak but steadier
than corn. The support appeared to
originate in the fact that the large
stocks owned by the wheat export
company are being ordered out of store
and that a material reduction may Do
soon expected in the visible. On the
other hand the visible is very liberal
and will stand considerable reduction
without reducing domestic stocks to a
dangerously low point
Observation-Disclosures were steady
but broke to the minimum later uh
selling. Buying on decline was
scattered and on resting orders. The
market acts very weak but its definite
trend depends on the outsome Of the
March hog price.
