It is éxpected that the city will have charge of at least 750 plots. The land committee, Whose duty it is to secure the use of large tracts of land in the outskirts of the city was today assured that several tracts would be theirs. However, it is prob- able that it will be found that several ideal sites for gardens have been over- looked and the owners of tillable roperty who are willing to allow it fo be cultivated are urged to get in touch with the committes throush, the Chamber of Commerce, either by phone or mail. Any message sent to the chairmen of the committees by phone will be received and delivered by a Chamber of Commerce attend- ant. Mail may be addressed to New Britain Gardens committee, city.

A. has just sent his February report to ‘General Secretary C. H, Barnes of the local associatian. New work has been started at Kirkee and nearly all of Mr. Simonds’ time has been spent there in putting up the tents and ar- ranging the camps. Up to the present time the men have had only their knees to write their letters on and when the writing tables at the new camp were put in position they were nearly swamped. Moving picture shows and concerts will have to be hel& out of doars at the camp and already a piano and phonograph have been purchased. According to a let- ter Mr, Simonds has written, the na- tional council of Iidia is spending about $300,000 on the work this year in ad@ition to what is eaming from America and England. The February report follows: “The outstanding new feeature of thé month at the army branch has been the Thursday night socials con- 7| ducted by the ladies fram the various churches and organizations of Poona. The building has been crowded three out of the four social evenings. Re- freshments have added much. The ladies have furnished the cakes and wafers and the Y. M, C. A has served coffee. Various indoor games have been staged each night. These socials are the only time many of the sol- diers meet.any of the ladies and they appreciate this variation very much. The hall was also crowded to the limit for two concerts, “A lantern lecture on India was an- other feature and was given by Ser- geant J. M, O’'Brien, who used slides made from pictures taken by himself. A concert by the children of many of the leading India Rajahs drew a big crowd. These little Rajahs are in St. Helena's school and very clearly, set forth the possibilities in India’ next generation. Two ather lectures of practical value were those given by Professor Knight of the Agricultural college and Professor Brown of the Engineering callege. Professor Knight told of western India’s pro- gress in agriculture and demonstrated his lecture with the plows, drills and various implements used, also by an exhibit of many of the farm products, Professor Brown'’s lecture was also illustrated. His subject was the ‘Tata water scheme for irrigation and power.’ “The mission study, Bible and Hin- dustani classes have continued during the ‘month as usual. The Bunda; evening devotional meeting seems fill the need for a fair group each week.

M. C. A, was opened February 20. On March 1 all of the five rooms were filled. This will be a demonstra- tion center for better housing con- ditions It is planned that the hotel shall be self sustaining after the equipment is provided. “An offer of rupees 7,000 or $2,268 has come to the city branch this month conditioned on our securing Tupees 18,000 or $5,460 more. This would build the first modern associa- tion building in Poona. Let us pray that the rest of this money may soon come.
