appointed at the luncheon ut the ar
mory last Wednesday, reported at a
luncheon held at noon Friday at the
Armory In favor OF social welfare
committee assuming responsibility for
the maintenance Of the hostess house
and woman's dormitory ON w. Pine St.
in the interests OF social welfare work
among the women Of Deming. The
committee drew up resolutions at n
meeting last Wednesday at the hostess
house and the Rev. Houlder, chairman
was instructed TO write to the war
council Of the Y. w. G. A. submitting
the resolutions as adopted Friday. The
Rev. Houlder was directed TO add n
resolution, In addition to those read,
permitting the Y. w. G. A. TO take over
the building In case OF emergency. Such
en- emergency might, for instance, be
the mobilization Of the National Guard
again upon the border In view OF the
unsettled conditions in Mexico.
With the reopening of tile base hos
pital by the U. s. Health Commission
and the possibility of early construc-
ton OF the Southern Pacific shops here,
IL was the concensus Of opinion among
those present that Deming cannot af-
ford to allow such institutions to be
taken from the city, just because the
late emergency has ceased TO exist.
Following are the resolutions adopt
ed last Friday at the luncheon at the
Deming Armory, with the exception OF
the resolution to be added Ia regard to

Of emergency:
