Y. w. c. A. VISITORS

Four hundred thousand persons and
more served in the cafeteria In one
year is the record of the wv. C. A.
Hostess House at Camp Lewis. Amer
lean Lake, Wash.
The majority of the 100000 diners
We're mothers, wives, sweethearts and
friends who went to the camp to visit
their soldiers. The remainder were
soldiers themselves who broke the mo-
notony of "chow" with home cooked
meals. In addition q all these guests,
%, 900 little children We're cared for in
the nursery and the rest room served
10000 tired wives and mothers.
The workers at the information
desk received and answered $1,000
questions varying from how to get the
best connections to a destination clear
across the continent, the rates of sol
diers' insurance and the kind of Gre
tonne a girl bride should have in her
living room now that Private John is
coming home from France Eleven
thousand of these queries required tel
ephone conversations with various
company commanders relative to hunt
ing up a soldier whose parents had ar
rived unexpectedly.

The Morale Of the Meal Ticket.

Putting efficiency into business, via,
the meal ticket, proper housing and
wholesome recreation. is now being
practiced by many large industries
The successful business man has
learned the lesson that the girl who
lunches on an anaemic ham sandwich
and muddy cup of coffee three hun
dred and sixty-five days of the year
does not make a competent worker.
This fact was known to the Young
Women's Christian Association long
before the efficiency expert introduced
it into business circles BY serving
the girl workers the Association also
serves the business which employs
her.
Through. its local and national or,
ganization the Young Women's Chris
-tian Association is daily touching hun,
dreds of thousands of girls. During
one year alone 12,15O,303 meals werd
served in Association cafeterias. AZ
the present time there are 200 homes
in the United States belonging to and
managed by the Association. The girl
without n job also finds staunch
friend in the Employment Bureau Of
the Association. In her play hours tho
big gymnasium and swimming pools
provide wholesome recreation for the
business girls.

culosis patients of the country to en-
list every fellow "cure chaser" as

which there are nearly GOO scattered
throughout the United States. Efforts

TO go after all patients and enroll
them fs well. E"cry patient In she
sanaterium viii he responsible to get
one more patient. The movement win
be contribution of the tuberculosis
patients OF the country to the Red
Cross.
Since the National Tuberculosis AS

being supported by the Red Cross
through direct appropriation during
the year 1919, this effort of the tuber-
culosis patients is considered to be an
unusually appropriate one.

APPRECIATION FROM THE ARMY.

That the work which the Young
Women's Christian Association IL do
ing in France is appreciated by its
beneficiaries and by the French gov
ernment has been amply evidenced by
The enthusiastic praise accorded 1t
again and again. But the message that
came to the Blue Triangle Headquar-
ters written on the inside of an old en-
velope was more significant than the
comments of foreigners because it was
the spontaneous expression of officers
of the United States Army, well quail
fled TO judge of efficiency and rs free
TO criticize MS to commend. The let
ter is from ajor L. Il. Kelly, s. o. T.
c., and was approved by Brig. Gen. w.
X. Sampson. 1t says: MY observa-
tion in France after six months, Is
that the best investment of charitable
funds is made by the y. w. c. A. and,
that they are doing the most credita-
BILE work with lowest expenditure"

FoYERs IN FRANCE.

Four departments of the French
Government have asked the American
Y. w. G. A. TO open social and recrea-
ton centers for girls employed by
them-Finance, Commerce, War and
Labor
Lieutenant Poncet of the Ministry
of Labor recently requested that this
Y. w. C. A. work be begun for girls Ia
his offices after seeing the social and
recreation centers which had been
opened at the request of the Ministry
of War. Sixteen centers of this kind
are operated in six cities In France.
Three of them are in Paris.
The last of these Foyers des Alliees
is for girls who are working in the De-
partment of Labor. 1t is far down the
Seine, under the shadow of the Eiffel
Tower, and overlooks the Quai dOrsay.
The rooms are bright and cheerful,
with chintz hangings and cushions,
comfortable chairs, reading and writ

RUSSIAN PRINCESSES
LEARN TO TRIM HATS
Y. w. C. A. Saves Wife of General
From Becoming charwoman.


When the war work of the Y. w. G.
A. in Russia hGs all been told one of
the most interesting stories will lie In
The establishment of the first Women's
Cooperative Association "a Moscow.
There day after day princesses work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple,
unlettered women, and the money is
used for self support of these prin-
cesses and notable women as well as
for the peasant classes.
The need and suffering throughout
all Oussla was so great at the time
the Association was established that
1t was a problem to find where the
money would help the greatest num-
ber of people. 1t was thought best to
expend 1t to help capitalize organiza-
lions for giving work and permanent
opportunities to families and indlvidu-
ais TO earn their own living.
The women bring their handiwork
TO the Association for sale or take or
ders TO do dressmaking, millinery. etc,
in the rooms of the society or at home.
Suitable work was found just in time
not long ago TO keep the wife of one of
Russla's greatest generals from going
out ns n charwoman to earn bread for
her husband, who was Ill.

THOSE WHO ANSWER NOT
BY ]. w. CHADWICK

1t singeth low in every heart,
We hear it, each and all
A song of those who answer not,
However we may call.
They throng the silence of the breast;
We see. them as of yore-
The kind, the true, the brave, the
sweet,
Who walk with US no more.
'Tis hard to take the burden up,
When these have laid it down;
They frightened all the joy of life,
They softened every frown.
But, oh! tits good to think of them
When we are troubled sore;
Thanks be to God that such have been.
Although they are no more!
More homelike seems the vast un-
known,
Since they have entered there;
To follow them were not SO hard,
Wherever they may fare.
They cannot be where God is not,
On any sea or shore,
Whate'er betides, Thy love abides,
Our God for evermore.
