Club Stands for Hot: ron , Clean Towels, Comfortable Cote, Parties, ‘Games and Recreation to ) + Girl Workers, _ Katherine Holland Brown. 6 Y name is May, Isabel Carna- M han, T am eighteen years old, and I work in a big fac- 4 tory in Michigan. . More than. four hundred other girls work there too. I don’t aim to tell you about our Nabe You can read about our work in the labor department reports. But I .do aim to tell you about our Big Sister and of the things she has done for us. “To begin with, our’ factory town isn’t a town at all, It’s a huge barn of buildings stuck down In the country nineteen miles from nowhere. ‘There ; 1s a railroad siding, a station the size \ of a dry goods box, seven farmhouses 4, , . and one general store and postoffice combined—it’s pretty near as big as a hot tamale stand, And that's all. No Main street, no banks nor stores, no ice-cream parlors, not one solitary movie show, in all those nineteen miles. Lonesome? It’s the ragged edge_of desolation, that’s what. itpis. “Twas one of the first carload- of forty girls. that was. shipped. up from Chicago. The factory was swarming with workmen putting In the machin- | ery, and we girls couldn't begin work ; for a day or 0, so we began hunting | places’ to ent and sleep. That was a trifle that the employment folks hadn't thought of. The workmen were sleep- | ing and eating in the cars that had brought them there, backed on the a siding. Our only chance for beds and food was with those seven farmhouses, | &O We marched straight to the faymers’ | wives and asked for beard and. room. i Farmers’ Wives Hospitable. “J will say that thoSe women were kind 3 and hospitable. ‘They fixed it up be- tween them to feed us forty girls, and they gave us good food too, But for rooms, that was the ‘question, They could each spare one room, That meant sleep five or six ina room. But | right then along came the boss of the factory and told us the miacltinery was ready and he'd expect us girls to work double shifts, night and day. “He wanted to make use of every Winute, you see. But that gave us our chance as to sleeping. We fixed it up with the farm folks that we'd, work double shifts and sleep double shifts | too. “So we planned it. Three. girls ‘would use a room from eight at night till six the next morning. Then they'd hustle over ‘to the factory, and the three. girls* who'd been ‘working. all night would take the room. and. sleep till afternoon; It wasn’t any luxurl- ous slumber, bélieve me, “The farm women. had so few sheets.and pillow eases that most of us went without. Ani vels Were scarce! ns diamonds en blackberry bushes, As to soap— Well, the general store kept yellow bar soap, that kind that is so full of rosin you could use it to calk a ship, But ‘we made out till the next three car- Toads of girls came rolling in, Then we went ’most distracted, Those poor girls had to sleep in tents and in the cars that the workmen had abandoned by this time, and they were lucky. !f| they got a straw tick and a blanket. * By this time it had turned raw cold, . and maybe you know what late au- tumn nights in Michigan ftel like. To cap the climax the farm folks cut down on food, and for a week it was Potatees and beans and mighty few beans a that. Along Came a Miracle. «But, right when we were about veady to quit our jobs and beat it for liome, along came a miracle. Two quiet, businesslike women climbed down from the eastbound train one morning. With them came eight wark- men, a earload of scantling and tar paper, another carload of cots and blankets and pillows and sheets and towels—brand new blankets and beds —think of the glory 6f* that !—and bushels of dishe@ and rolls of oilcloth and enough burlap to carpet the coun- try. You won't believe me when I tell you that in ten days their workmen had a scantling-and-tar-paper shack put up.and burlap tacked over the walls, and the Y. W. C. A. secretary and her helper had set up board tables and coffee kettles and were serving us the grandest hot lunches every day. And back behind the burlap screens -were set those rows of clean: cots, with enough cover to keep you warm the coldest night that ever blew, and a towel apiece for every single girl. Do you wonder that we all fe¥, as one girl put it, ‘I'l wager the Fittz-Carle- ton has nothing on this!” “Who were those women? Why, Y. W.C. A. secretartes, of gourse. I'd think you'd know that without being told. All over the country wherever “ we girls have pitched:in to make aero- plane cloth or overalts or munitions or ; canned goods you'll fitd a Y. W.C. A. secretary working harder than any- body else to make the girls comfort- able and to keep them happy and well. Sometimes they haven’t money enough t6 get all that we really need. But al- ways they stretck every ‘cent to make it do Its level best for us.. Do you won- -der that we girl workerg havé learned to.call the Y. W>C. A. our Big Sister othe very best Big ee if all? Coffee Supply Assured. Abyssinia is the original home “of av the coffee tree; and in the sonthern and western highlands of that country. * there are still fmmense forests of it that -heve neyer, been touche. ~ | YAW. 6.

WC, A. nurses’ hut in a Base Hospital. | Having, no film or camera, the nurses at Base decided to put on a living picture show and invited a group of nurses from a nearby hos- pital to be the audierfce. It was a! real thriller, one of the wild and wool- ly ‘west variety, with bucking bron- choes and wild rides on broom and | mop horse§.
