The senate in concurrence, 19 to 12, rejected the bill to alter the civil service law, unfavorably reported. The senate adhered to passage of the bill to repeal ‘the law requiring marking of cold storage eggs, which bill the house rejected and thus the matter is killed. Bills for armories in Stonington and Saybrook were rejected in con- currence.

M. <. A. management total 75, according to a report of the past six months’ | activities just issued at headquarters of the organization. This chain of American hostelries is the largest in the world outside of the United States and represents a monthly outlay of many million francs for overhead ex- pense. These f) caravanseries stretch from the base port of St. Nazaire, Le Havre, Brest and Bordeadx to Paris and thence across to the towns at “the front” and on to the Rhine, the farthest point being Coblenz, where a large building has been taken over for the accommodation of the enlisted men on furlough. There are seven large hotels in Paris where doughboys and officers who are transient guests in the cit may find lodgings. In addition, there are two real American lunch counter: two cafeterias and 35 canteens in operation in the French metropolis. Tours, the husy center of the O. S, and Brest, now the chief point of embarkation for the A. E. F., come next to Paris in the number of accommodations provided for the soldier men not in billets. At the for- mer place, the Cafe de Palais is fam- ous for the American cooked food served there, while the Hotels de Bor- deaux, Central and Terminus each have a reputation for genuine com- fort and warm hospitality dispensed by American women who are in charge. Five thousand five hundred meals were served one day at one “Y" cafeteria at Brest, and the average number served there is 5,000. Both the officers’ and enlisted men’s hotels are so popular that always they are crowded to the limlt. Hotel rates generally are very high in France, as high as 40 francs a day often being charged where a room is shared by two. Meals also are very high. Therefore, it readily can be seen what a blessing these “Y"" hotels are to both officers and men. Under direction of Frederick L. Wood, 1222 E. 16th Ave., Denver, former manager of the famous Antlers hotel in Colorado Springs, this schedule of prices has been estab- Yished: For officers, 3 francs 50 centimes; single room for one man, 5 francs; if occupied by two, each 3 franes 50. For enlisted men, single room for one man, 4 franes:; if occupied by two, 2 francs 50 centimes. At some places—Bar-le-Duc, for ex- ample—it is impossible to make suit- able laundry arrangements and often it is necessary to give beds without finen, but supplied with blankets. In such places enlisted men are charged one franc only and officers two franc: Here is the breakfast served to en- listed men for two francs—incidental- lv, it would cost about eight francs in a French restaurant: Oatmeal, bread and butter (all one wants), jam, bacon, ham or fish cakes, coffee or chocolate. For three francs he can get a three- course luncheon and at the lunch counters a small steak costs 85 cen- times or less than 15 cents, with other prices in proportion. The ten leave areas provided for the A. B. F. are under the manage- ment of the Y. M. C. A. Hospitality is provided at some of the most mag- nificent hotels in Europe. This divi- sion of the “Y” work is under the direct management of a department set aside for that purpose and con- stitutes an important feature of Red Triangle activities in France.

At these hospitals he has been treating the wounded sol- diers, and has been doing reconstruc- tion work. In his speech before the Parents’ and Teachers' association, he told of the life of the soldier, from the time he sailed for overseas, until the time of his return home. He described the medical treatment the soldier re- ceived when wounded, and of how he was taken from the front lines to the field hospital, and from there to the base hospital, in the rear.
