OF prohibition information.
Ever since the United States began
its ratification scramble, Miss Tubbs
has been busy answering all sorts of
questions regarding prohibition. Some
OF them are posers, but they don't seem
to bother Miss Tubbs, who is literally
saturated with "dry" information. If
she can't answer the question right off
the reel, she will take the phone num-
sary reply and cali up again.

How many square miles of dry ter
rltory are there in the world 2"
Who was the first prohibtionist? On
These are samples of what Miss
Tubbs has to answer.
Probably the most frequent inquiry
concerns ,the problem of who is to get
the money New York will save on its
drink bill. Nobody seems to believe
that the American people will save this
money themselves or put it into war
savings stamps or Liberty bonds. Man
believe 1t will lie spent, and are plan
ming to get their share of it, according
to Miss Tubbs. Business men, she says,
call up to find out the effect of local
option IN the dry territory of the West
and South. Real estate dealers want to
know its effect on real estate. Cloth
ing manufacturers want to find out the
percentage of increase in business in
dry states.
Trades People Interested
"The trade papers are digging into
the subject and we are helping them to
get up statistical reports showing that
prohibition has increased trade ansl
promoted general prosperity" said
Miss Tubbs yesterday. "Only recently
tea, coffee and cheese journal
called up and asked for information for
its readers. The printers want to know
II it is going to help their trade. The
clothing industries are showing special
interest and enterprise in preparing
Tor an influx of trade after June 80
Even the hotel men are taking the atti-
tude that they might as we'll make the
best OF 1t. We receive innumerable re-

States Department of Labor. has in
dicated that children are not getting

velopment In report on the inves-
LEGATIONS. the Children's Bureau en-

amily Tree Is Principal Requisite to Belong to the
''Hyper Exclusive Community Which Will
BE Built in Hills; Ban Prosaic Housekeeping

Mrs. Wilder very much for making
sturdy New England ancestry the
card Of admission to fler pet colony
friend has said about her that
"she knows how to mix up a batch
of mortar, can frame q building, and
is the most feminine looking woman
I know" And THAI describes her.
Aside from these things, however, she
is landscape gardener--wild gardens
are her hobby. And she is an interior
decorator.
Her rght-hand man is A. l. Wilder,
who also is her husband. He is an
expert tree surgeon and lecturer on
plant life. When Mrs. Wilder is
planning her scenic effects, friend
husband analyses the soil to find out
Just what plants and trees are best
adapted for that particular section.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilder have pur-
chased a great rambling house up in
Massachusetts,. which is to be remod-
elled for their own use.
In Profession Eighteen Years
During her eighteen years in the
profession Mrs. Wilder claims to have
reduced architecture to practical
basis for speculative building She
has ideas about window frames and
doors and things which give her
houses dlStlnctlon and hit them
from the passive state of being merely
house to the realm of individual
homes.
Labor difficulties she has overcome,
says Mrs. Wilder, by the simple device
of having always on hand a picked
group of thirty-four workmen, each
one an expert in his line. She person
ally supervises the building of all her
houses.
Mrs. Wilder has thus far been justi-
fed in her opinion regarding the i'm
portance of pleasing landscape. 1t
has been her practice to buy tract of
waste land, beautify it, draw up the
plan of a home that seems to belong
there, and then sell the land, taking
the contract for the erection of the
house.
Should her latest project prove sue
cessful, it will be enlarged and similar
colonies established elsewhere.

Margaret Christie Tells
What Army Morale Means

Miss Margaret Christie, of the New
York Girls Division of War Camp
Community Service staff, addressed
nearly 100 members of the Yorkville
Social Service Club in their club rooms
at 331 East Sixty-eighth Street recently
The members of the Yorkville Social
Service Club realize the Importance of
being told things, but they prefer to
dance, SO they awaited the ordeal of a
speech with a trife oee Impotence.
Miss Christie's opening sentence was
q startling one, and III spite of them
selves the audience laughed. Who
wouldn't? Why, Miss Christie admit
ted that she likes boys better than
anything else in the world, and what
was moro, she said that she was sure
that the girls she was addressing like
Boys and there was not a single pro
testing voice. A little fat girl who sat
IN the front row of camp stools chewed
her gum and locked skeptical, but no
amount of avoirdupois or gum could
entirely blunt her interest in real in
formation on good comradeship to the
returning soldiers. Miss Christie said 4:
AS you all know, War Camp Com
munlty Service has been working very
hard to hold up the morale OF our men.
You hear that word pronounced every
way, including more ale but the real
way to define 1T IS fighting pep. When
our men went into the service they
gave up many things including Jobs,
habits, and clothes. They went pre-
pared to die if necessary, and they have
seen very real suffering They have
seen, also, English, French, and Bel
glan women whose bravery beggars de-
scrlptlon. And now these men are
gong to expect to find their own wom-
enklnd just as true and as fine as those
wonderful women of the other coun-
tries. Our men think there is nothing
IN the world quite so fine as an Amer
lean girl, and we must be worthy of
the sacrifices they have made for u.s.
MISS Christie is an English woman
by birth, becomingly tall, and very
much in earnest from the crown of
her sailor hat to the toes of her tan
oXfords, and as she talked the girls
listened eagerly; the little fat one in
the front row even forgot her gum.
