Helen.

Metucnen, N. D.
Dear Helen:
II want to say q word or two IN
favor the Y. w. C. A. or similar in
stitution. After working all day in
the city Ct am a commuter) l would
like nothing better after finishing my
dinner to take a spin to Amboy and
get right in a pool. The question that
oft arises in my mind when l con-
slider just how hard we have had to
work toward the possible attain
ment of this institution is after all has
the world and the people especially
in the vicinity of Perth Amboy really
those ages where all the fruits of the
earth are heaped at the foot of man"
and the girl must take what crumbs
are thrown to herr
1T certainly seems to me that in
this last great conflict the ONE and
girls have proven Just what they can
do. The w. C. c.. s.. houses here In
Perth Amboy where for eight and
! sometimes more hours the girls and
women worked serving and amusing
the men in service were the center OF
recreation of both of these places and
yet the very people who were the
means of keeping these going are not
allowed to have a place of rest and re-
creation for themselves.
1T have heard a great cry go up that
such a building is needed for the poor
factory girls and the like. Girls of
my status as well want 1t and need
it. We may have finer homes and
| more recreation than the poorer girl
but after all we are not. wealthy
enough to have our private swimming
pools and the like.
Hoping to see the views of other
girls on this matter in this column and
wishing you lots of luck in your col
umn I remain,
yours for a Y. w. c. A. or Girls
Community House,
'Virginia."

Among "Us Girls"

Dear Girls:
Just a word in passing about the
attitude OF the girls when walking
along Smith street. Whatever the
men may say about the matter a great
deal of this promiscuous flirting that
is going on along this main street is
due to the loafers hanging around the
rne Now for q word to the wise
If a lad addresses you whom you don't
know by all means do not reply to
him even if only in a derisive strain.
Simply ignore the matter and no
scene can possibly originate. If we,
girls get together and deal in the right
manne with these lads the sooner the
annoyances in this petty will
be stopped. 1t is a case of the old
story of I'm unity there is strength"
Just remember that any acquaintance
made in this n is not worth as
much as a W pence with a hole in
it.

Dear Helen:
I'm very glad that we have some
thing in the paper for us girls And
I read them every night. My name is
Olive and I am thirteen years old.
Helen, you said In the paper thai
you would like us to write about q
trip. / went to Lakewood n Sum
day and I went to my grandfather's
farm. Helen, It's beautiful on a farm.
There are so many chickens. cows and
other animals. There are huckleber-
ries and fruit trees. OF course the ap-
Piles are too green to eat. So We ate
cherries, large red cherries and black
ones. They were delicious.
IT guess I'm writing too much but
I'm CAD that the girls OF Woodbridge
are writing continuously. Hoping
hat others write.
Yours truly.

TECHS LADS LAND
THIRTEEN BATTLES

That thirteen is no hoodoo for the
Tech High athletes is evidenced by
the fact that the Manual Trainers
have scheduled thirteen contests in
baseball for the year. Every season
the Tech men have lost captain in
practically every sport. Away back
in the days of Country" Morris the
Manual Trainers had a hoodoo.
Injuries have cost Tech dearly every
season. In basketball this year in the
two most important games the Tech
hopes were blasted when men were
injured. Even Capt Clarence Goshell
got under the usual Tech hoodoo ban
in the final basketball battle with
Business, when he fell and sprained
his ankle at the start of the game
Business won by IL to IL and the
hoodoo that pursues Techs captains
was on the job.
Just the same, the Tech lads sched-
ule thirteen battles this spring. Au-
berry Wardwell is captain Of the
team and for fear of losing him
Coach Apple will probably carry him
around wrapped in pink cotton.
Wardwell, Deck, DeVault, and Hut
Crimson are about the only veteran
players from last season. There are
