ORI KT PAGE EIGHT LIVE UNDER Y. W. C. A. RULE French and English Girls Working in Franoce Are Housed Like Their American Sisters. ' French and English girls working in the offices of the American army in Montoir, Tours, Brest and Paris during the next few months, will be billeted with the American Young Women’s Christian association. These girls are organized into the army service corps and will be re- sponsible largely for the clerical work necessary in completing the records of the American army, over- seas. The girls at Montoir, 100 in all, live in barracks. Those in the other cities live in houses which the Y. W. C. A. will secure for this use. As the work so closely resembles signal corps work, Miss Vera Shafer, who was director of that branch of overseas work, will be in charge. The plan for the management of the " houses is modeled after that of Ho- tel Moderne, where 30 French girls who worked in the American offices at Tours were housed under the di- rection of Miss Sarah Watson. The house was run on exactly the same plan as Y. W. C. ‘A. signal corps and hostess houses, and was a great success, despite protests of many French women that girls of their nationality could not be allowed the same freedom that American girls were allowed.

" THE STRAIGHT OF IT. e, &3 Y51 bride was heroically striving to mas- ter the intricacies of the English language. Slang especially mysti- fied her. “I cannot understand your tangue,” she said to her husband, a former member of a famous Indiana regiment. “Before de jeuner you have taken me to buy bonbons on ze Circle. You have ask-ed ze man where is ze store. He has told you. Then you have demanded, ‘Is that straight? He has said ‘Yes’s Ze bonbon shop was not straight, for ze Circle made it curved. I am not understanding.”—Indianapolis News. , z CLOSE ASSOCIATION. “The prima donna has decided to divorce her latest husband.” “On what grounds?” “She says he insists on sitting in the same box every night when she sings. As a result they have been thrown together so much that he has gotten on her nerves.”—Birmingham Age-Herald. IN HIS OPINION. “You board dogs, eh?” “Yes.” “How do they behave as board- ers?”’ “Well, they don’t growl as much as some other boarders I have met.” —Louisyille Courier-Journal. SUITABLE REMEDY. “Did you see where a federal com- mission complains of a dental trust?” “If they frame a law to meet that case it ought to be one with teeth in it” ‘THE CLUES. “The man who called to see you - yesterday wore a cutaway coat and a stovepipe hat.” “He must have been the plumber.” NO GIFT. “Does your cook give you any im- pertinence ?” “No. She charges me ten dollars 2 week for.it.” | ‘#X& The Tndianapolis French - wafriy b s s et Ao e st e b et " . SOUTH DAKOTA PAYS - HAIL LOSSES TODAY (By United Press.) Bismarck, N.'D., Dec. 1.—The first' hail losses suffered by farmers, who were protected under the state hail insurance law passed at the last ses- sion of the legislature, will be paid today. This action was determined upon by S. A. Olsness, state commis- sioner of insurance, to relieve farm- ~ ers whose losses were heavy and who cannot wait for their money until ghe hail assessment is collected. Payment will be made by register- ed warrants bearing six per cent in- terest. "It is expected by the insur- anc commission that these warrants will be accepted by all banks at par and the Bank of North Dakota has taken steps to prevent a discount. A census of the local banks was taken to ascertain if any will demand dis- counts. SENATOR WOULD DENY . ORIENT CITIZENSHIP (By United Press.) Washington, Dec. 1.—An amend- ment to - the constitution, which would gdeny America cnitizenship to children born in this country of par- ents who themselves are ineligible to citizenship, is to be proposed shortly by Senator Jones of Washington. He announced today that the measure is aimed at Japanese and Chinese , whose children, if born here, are American citizens under the constitution. e A b o 6 8 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER Designs That Meet Every 'R‘e’quirement In Common Sense MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1919 e ,l QR 057 ajz [el425) 7330 G528 [red Berlin, (By Mail.)—Business men are laying complaints against the German telegraph system saying that in many cases, mails go faster than messages.
