OF. the capitol a group Of hotels ' W.
ms women empolyes in Wash;s 10t
during the war, and now that tha ps wsa
IS over this important public sn ssl
prise is not only persisting hnt 'a y !,
actually thriving and exposing tha .4
rageous profiteering that is eoin, w. -
In the private housing and fooa,s s VI

erect a. group of hotel buildin.s ~
Washington for its women wo.s.
that now house 1000 pleased and ~.
isfied women. There are 1850 1j, ~.
rooms in this group of buildings .as
In some of them more than one wom aau
Is living. The popularity Of This nnA
lie domicile is Indicated by tha fao.
that every room is taken al ho t,ma
and there are now more than ON
women on the waiting list for room. |
as fast as they are vacated.
Several excellent features a. mi.
government hotel life account for ito
unusual popularity. Chief among them
Is the unusual prices charged by Uncla
Sam. This big hotel keeper aims IA
charge whatever the cost of the serv.
Ice amounts to and the result is that
these lucky women workers are being
housed and fed for less than Aalf what
1t would cost them anywhere else. An.
other drawing card is the infirmarv
nurse and the infirmary which provide
at cost for the guests when thew are
sick or injured. Another feature is
the laundry in the basement where the
women can save expenses if they de-
sire by doing their own washing at a
ridiculously small charge for the use
of the machinery and water and soap.
Another attraction is the privacy and
protection the women get.
How does Uncle Sam manage to
come out even on these OUTLAWS and
what does he charge? Uncle Sam
charges enough to cover all outlays
and expenses. The money is turned
into the treasury of the United States
Congress then makes appropriations
from this money to run the hotels
The total cost to each woman guest
per month is $40 for room, excellent
meals, infrmary accommodations and,
and many other items.
Here Is the list of the items that
are paid for by the $45:
Room, $S.42; meals, s31.S1; infirrh'
airy, q cents; shop, &c cents; fire pro
lection, A cents telephone, AZ cents !;
general office, $2.e3; insurance, ~
cents.
Think Of meals for month for
$31.S1, or \ trifle over dollar a oayl
When you learn what these meals CON
sist of you will wonder how Uncle Sam
does it, and why if Uncle Sam can 90
1t, he allows private interests TO PROF.
steer on rooms and meals In the CUT
rageous and shameful manner tney W.

lie for the actual cost to the church
In other words, all we shall ask of
the public is that they pay for the
cost of talent, pictures, etc, and moth
ing more. This will be less than half
the price paid by anyone at any time; ,
and such plan also enables us to give
to the general public a much better
type of program than is usually OBJ
tanned in commercial institutions of
whatever sort. 1t also enables us to
cater to the children in a way before
impossible, that is, all children under
twelve. years of age will be admitted
without any charge whatever to all
the numbers on the program. To their
fathers and mothers and to the young
adults will be offered the privilege to
pay the insignificant cost of the pro
gram, that is, the rental price of films
and pictures and the actual cost of
talent
