WOMEN AND THE WAR V In an Illinois pralrlo town lives u widow wh6 launders seventeen bas kets of wash a week and every night thanks God for having put r 1 ty Into tho hearts of women, To her came ono day a letter from' her only son. Ho was then at Camp Funston, Kansas, learning to be a soldier. Tho let tor begged her to come and see him before ho was sont to France. The moth or opened the tin bank in which Mrs. Davison tho had been hoarding her dimes ana quarters against this day. The money was scarcely enough. Nevertheless rho started. She walked the first elghtcon miles. Then her strength gave out, and she tcol; a train. SIio did. not know ttat visitors to Camp Funston 'stay in Junction City, eleven miles away. So sho got off tho train nt Fort Riley. An officer Bet her right and sho reached Junc tion City after dark. Somehow Bho found a rooming-house. Somo onw thsro stolo five dollars from her flvtf of tho precious dollars sho had earned ovor tho wash tub and saved by walking. Terror-stricken, she crept out ot tho house when no one was looking. Later in tho night a soldier found her tromhllng In tho street, and took her to tho rooms ot tho Young Wom en's Christian Association, rooms which tho War Work Council had opened as a clcarlng-houso for trou bles. Tho poor frightened woman was put to bed, but sho was. too mlsornblo to Bleep. Tho matron got up at daybreak, built a fire, and com forted her. Tho son's commanding officer was reached by tolophono early in tho morning, and tho boy camo to his mothor on tho first trolley-car ho could catch. Tho two spent long, low-voiced hours together, perhaps tho last hours thoy will huvo this side ot heaven, Every moment was ns pre cious as a mouth bad been last year. Tho old lady had still one present won y. .The boy's bad cold might turn Into 'pneumonia it sho left him. But sho had not money enough to stay another night and buy a ticket homo. When tho matron told' her that hor bed wa3 frpo, sho broke- down und crlod und cried. "I did not know thero was so much olty loft In tho world,", sho sobbed, fc:iostnyed till her boy'a cold was bettor. Then sho wont back to hor Bovnutceu waBhlugs and hor memo-rJi-fl, Because of tho cortalnty of Jusv such cases as this was Governmental sanction given to tho activities ot tho War Work Council of tho Y.

DAVISON Treasurer War Work Council National Board Y. W. C. A. Inspiration. Women of every rare and creed aro its wards. Tho sk of tho War Work Council Is troraeaa ous. When the United States enlc-.ol tho great war tho Young Women's Christian Association was, as always, working among women. With the call to new duties Its members did not abandon their old responsibilities. Tho War Work Council was formed as an emergency measure to take care of tho women who wero caught In somo ot tho mazes ot war. Just as tho parent organization has taken caro ot them through many years ot peace. The varied activities decided upon, by tho War Work Council fol. '.ow closely tho needs of thodlffer ent communities of tho country. Sec retaries trained in tho methods ot the organization wcro sont out broadcast. Thoy wero instructed to report to the National Board ot tho Young Women's Christian Associa tions in New York the lines of work which could bo best followed In the carious localities. These secretaries work in closo ccoporatlon with min isters, women's clubs, chambers ot .-ommerce, churches, military officials, and charltablo societies. The rec ord of a day's doings of a secretary reads liko a novel, an economic reatlse, and a psychological essay ill compressod into a llne-a-day entry. A secretary sont out by tho War .York Council must bo equal to any emergency. Miss Lillian Hull at Chil '.tcotho, closo by Camp Sherman, hut rying along tho street at nightfall ;amo upon a forlorn couple. A Fin nish soldier had found a Job for hi" wifo, so that sho might come on from Cleveland. When she arrived jhe was refused tho placo because jho spoke no English. Their money aad been all spent on the railroad faro, and tho .soldier was duo back at Camp. The situation was bad. Thanks to Miss Hull a Chlllicothlan lousewlfo now has an Industrious ind grateful domestic, a soldier Is happy, and a soldier's wlfo Is safe. Army folks often benefit oven mora Jlrcctly from tho secretaries' work. In Bremerton, Washington, a secro .ary was accosted on tho stroet by a jailor. Sho was a slender woman, and ho had mistaken hor for a girl. "May I walk along with you?" h asked. "Surely," sho replied with mature understanding and Intuition. "What Is tho matter? Are you homesick?" Tho lad's story camo out with a rush. Yes, ho was homesick, so hopelessly, despairingly heartsick that ao was on tho verge of deserting. But this woman- gnvo him gonulne sympathy and encouragement. Sho eaved him to his country. , From north, south, cast and wost thcoo pioneer secretaries sent fa their ropbrts. Tho appalling alzo ot tho undertaking was rcvoalod to tho War Work Council. Systomatlzation of llio work was tho first otop. Out of tho multitudinous phases certain Hues of work wore revealed. Deaf Susie:- Mary went riding with "What's-hls-name In a "Thlng-a-ma-bob" he'd bought, It wasn't a Ford, but It looked the same And It rambled along, like a thought, Until the "dingus" began to shirk And the "Com-a-see-ama" popped, The "Ding-busted" critter refused to work And the "Dod-gasted" gas buggy stopped.
