MAKES PLANS DETROIT CONFERENCE TO DIS " CCSS WORLD EXPANSION'. i TJse of Women Secretaries, War Huts in Industrial Centers, Are Among Subjects. DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 8. Many urgent issues are to be discussed in the 40th convention of the Interna tional Young Men's Christian associa tion, which is to be held here Novem ber 19 to 21, according to the general officers of the organization. The gathering is expected to bring to De troit upwards of 5000 delegates, rep resenting a membership of more than 1.000,000 men and boys and the 30,000 war welfare workers of the associa tion who served during the war in 42 countries. There will be delegates from Canada, all of the United States and the insular possessions. Co-operation of the Young Men's Christian association in assimilating back into civil life the 4,800,000 men who served in the American armed forces during the war and the 500,000 who served in the Canadian armies will be one of the big subjects for con sideration. Stabilization of labor, curbing discontent and unrest, exten sion of the Y. M. C. A., work, through the war organization including the use of the "V war hut, and plans for world-wide expansion of the American Y. M. C- A., will also be discussed. Official requests for extension of the association to many lands, include ing France, Italy, Siberia, Greece, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Armenia and elsewhere have been received, it is stated. The use of women in associa tion work, particularly as secretaries, and renewed and wider co-operation with various church bodies are other questions to be placed before the con vention by the three large commis sions which have made surveys and are prepared to present definite rec ommendations. The meeting, a triennial gathering, irt declared by association officials to be the most important ever arranged by the Y. M. C.

In addition to soft drinks with which 5 it is hoped to retain at least a part of the former patronage of the place. Mr. Kilby is providing club features to make it, in fact, the "poor man's J club," with writing tables and free stationery, a billiard table, books, magazines and reading tables. A hotel with 300 beds to be let at from 10 cents to 25 cents each a night is being operated in connection with the club. In the basement show er baths, wash bowls and facilities for the patrons to do their own laun dry work are installed. A restaurant in connection, completes the hotel's equipment. Cold weather is expected to augment greatly the institution's patronage. Another former saioon has been converted into a clubhouse for chil dren. The children call it the "Red, White and Blue club" and at times more than 100 children are reading and playing where the former patrons of the saloon played cards and dis cussed their steins. The "Red, "White and Blues" were first organized as a part of the work of the women's committee, council of national defense, and since then the club has been financed through the efforts of several women who have given a series of charity entertain ments for the benefit of the organ'za tion. Some of the functions or the day nursery are exercised by the club which keeps the cliildren of employed mothers during the day. Others of the little "members" are orphans. Although the place lacks furnish ings it has proven very popular with the children of the neighborhood and the women managing it plan to raise $3500 for heat and maintenance through the winter months. Other Chicago saloons have been converted into restaurants, cafeterias, ice cream and soft drink parlors, cof fee and chocolate houses, but the ma jority still are running as "saloons" with the same fixtures and employes, having substituted a great variety of non-alcoholic drinks for the liquors formerly dispensed. DENVER TO HAVE BONFIRE Big Conflagration Opening. Feature of Armistice Day Celebration. DENVER, Colo., Nov. 8. With a huge bonfire on Inspiration point as the opening feature, Denver will stage a celebration lasting 24 hours on No vember 11 as the first annlversay of the signing of the armistice. The torch is to be applied to the monster pyre at 1 o'clock in the morning of the 11th, after the Motor club of this city has impressed every available automobile into service for carrying crowds to the scene on the heights overlooking the city. Governor O. H. Shoup, Mayor Dewey C. Bailey and many persons promi nent in the commercial and political life of the state are co-operating in an effort to make the Armistice day celebration 'one of the biggest and most spectacular Denver has ever witnessed. Following the bonfire there will be a military parade through the business section of the city. The 157th infantry, the crack military organization Colorado sent to the war, will head the procession and will be followed by regulars from Fort Logan, by units of the old na tional guard and by other service men who took part in the overseas fighting. The downtown streets will be fes tooned with the national colors and the flags of the allies. At night the streets will blaze with hundreds of thousands of incandescent bulbs. The celebration is to end with a grand ball in the municipal auditorium, with Governor and Mrs. Shoup leading the grand march.

PORTLAND OREGON- This Furnace Burns Wood or Soft Coal mm mm Here is a Richardson & Boynton "Progressive" Warm Air Heater that will burn whichever fuel is cheapest wood or soft coal. Ad vance in cost of either need not worry you. It burns both fuels efficiently. "While you do not require heat many days of the year, it is a mighty fine thing to have a central heating plant that is out of the way, instead of using a stove in each room with all the un avoidable dirt it brings into the house. You will use loss fuel in the "Progressive" heater, and have more heat, besides the con venience of only one heater to care for. In writing to the dealer, ask for illustrated literature on Richardson & Boynton heaters for wood or soft coal. Made by Richardson & Boynton Co. sow by J. C. Bayer Furnace Co.
