Miss Meeker and myself. try as We

Home Comforts For
Men In Service

The salvation Army has. fitted up
w large stores in the Salvation Army
Building at 317 Madison avenue neal
Smith street which are handsomely
furnished and conveniently for the
use as rest rooms for service men and
war workers and have set apart a
floor above where o twenty-five
cents the boys in uniform can have a
private sleeping room, steam heated,
use of the bath room and shower
baths ard modern conveniences.
Miss A. b.. Barnes. Salvation Army
worker is devoting her entire time to
this york and is now ready to welcome
the soldiers and sailors and their
friends. Miss Barnes will also be de-
lighted to see any of the people of this
city who are interested in the boys
and their welfare.
No special entertaining will be
done, just pleasant home-like after
Moons and evenings will offer a chance
for quiet writings and readings. Ger
tain evenings during the week will be
put into the hands of different organ
izations and these will furnish enter
tainment.
In speaking to an EVENING NEWS
reporter, Miss Barnes said Here in
Perth Amboy ] am finding such a fri
endly feeling for the Salvation Army,
not just appreciation of the work
over there which we hear everywhere
nowadays, but personal or local ap-
probation of its work in this COM
munity. This must be due 30 the I'M
selfish, untiring efforts of Adjutant
and Mrs. Stubs.
A little latter she remarked. " In
Brooklyn, the boys who flocked to
our place appreciated its near home
ness and 1t was seldom necessary to
even Su ggest such restrictions as 1t
seemed best + make-our aim always
being to give the boys just such libe-
erty and freedom of everything as
they would ave in their W homes.
Many of the boys so far away from
home folks appeared very happy in
spending their liberty days and nights
with us, finding here n "play-mother"
glad to be interested in all that in
terested them; and making themselves
so freely at home that it seemed home
like to the boys who dropped in for
Letter writing, readin, etc"
