and domestic experiment
which includes, among other

girls arrived in Washington they dis
| covered the highest war prices In the
country prevailing in the capital, and
found that it took every penny they
made merely to exist. Real comfort
and convenience was out of the ques-
| ton In the private rooming EOuses.
Four girls in one room paying SIS a
month each, or $50 for the lot, was not
unusual. OF course, under such cir
cumstances they had to wait their turn
for most everything: to get into the
bathroom, comb their hair, unlock their
clothes from the single clothes hook,
| and so on.
For their meals they just "ate
around" They waited on the corner
and saw car after car go by filed to
the last inch. When they finally sue
ceeded in getting aprecarious foothold
on car step, they rode for thirty min
utes jammed into a solid mass Of hui
mainly. Then they sought a breakfast
place downtown. If they went to an
order restaurant and succeeded in get
ting table, the walters or mattresses
were so rushed that often it was an
other thirty minutes before the girls
could be served. If they went to a
cafeteria they waited in a line for
chance to serve themselves. Exhausted
and disgruntled, they would arrive at
their desks as near O'Clock as fate
and the facilities Of the city of Wash
ington permitted. At lunch it was the
same old wait and at dinner, after a
day Of pounding typewriter keys, or
working over columns of statistics, or
filing letters, or filing out cards, they
stood in line again to wait their turn.
And when at last they reached their
rooms, crawled into their cot beds, and
found themselves sinking into forget
full slumber, they were almost sure to
be awakened by the return from the
movies or some other entertainment Of
one or more Of their partners in misery.
Something had to be done. So

was agreed that the experiment was
an epoch-making one.
President Wilson himself paused in
the midst Of his war-making to tour
Washington and personally select the
site upon which this "manless town"
was to rise. He looked all over the |
available open spaces in and about the |
park system Of the capital, and after |
due elaboration decided to place the
dormitories for the war workers on |
the plazas which connect the Capitol
and the Union station. And there they |
stand today, two groups Of buildings
containing twelve dormitories in each
group. In the center of each group is

GAVE NAME TO TOLL ROADS
To Weapon Carried by Collectors Can
Be Traced the Turnpike" Of
Modern Days.

Undoubtedly the name turnpike, an
applied to some roads. comes from the
fact that pixies or gates were set acRoSs
the roads by the keeper or toll
collector. In addition to collecting
tolls, it was part of the toII-keeper's
business to keep the road in repair.
His wages and other expenses for
doing this were received from the
tolls collected from the people who
used the road to ride on in carriages.
wagons, etc. The Book Of Wonders

Washington, D. c.. says that IN fine
early days the toIl-coIlector was armed
with a pike, Iong-handled weapon
with a sharp iron head. which he used
to prevent people who Travelled his,
road from going by without giving nm
their toll. Later on a swinging gate
was built across the road. which made
It unnecessary to use the pike. though
the name was retained. for no one
could pass while the gate barred the
way. When the passerby had paid his
tolls, the toll-collector opened the gata
and let him pass. II he did not Dav
the gate remained closed and tina
driver had TO turn back or decide IN
pay. Hence comes the name turn-
pike. In some parts Of the countrv
they call these highways toll roads.

which includes. among other
things the question whether
or not 500 women can live together In
perfect harmony. So far the answer is
in the affirmative, although in the be
ginning there was just little doubt as
to the complete success Of the expert
ment. However, as this rift in the
lutte was due to the fact that a mere
man was made general manager of the
plan, and as this same individual has
since been thrown out, bag and bag
gage, there now seems small danger
that things viii not work out just as
they were intended to.
The subject Of Uncle Sans unique
experiment is his war workers, and the
plan is the somewhat belated solution
OF housing them, problem which the
end Of hostilities has not eliminated
by any means. For warwork is not
yet done. and war workers in Wash
ington are still too numerous for ade-
quate handling by WaShington's pri-
vate housing facilities As a matter
OF fact, war workers come and go just
as in the days Of the war, and each
week the statistics show al increase.
For every 1000 war workers Shat leave,
LOO seem to come to take their places
and to further augment the govern
ment payroll.
This Is said to be the first time an
attempt has been made to house so
many women together In a dOrmitory
system. Men have lived In barracks
since time immemorial, but it has al
ways been admitted that men are SIM
pie things to handle and that the female
lof the species is more deadly than the
male. AT any rate, Uncle Sam, having
conquered insurmountable problems
curing the war, has had the courage TO
SET himself up as housekeeper for 800
young and unattached women.
lie Is even more than housekeeper,
.lior ne has assumed the additional eur
den Of chaperon, and the fact that he
allows the young women to have COM
lpany In the parlor until IL p. m. would
seem to indicate that he is a very
lienient one. As a matter of fact, he
even allows his wards to remain out
Iunui that more or less witching hour
without explanation or excuse. But
