RICHMOND TO BE HEADQUARTERS FOR WAR DRIVE

Campaign Activities for United Y.W.C. A..Y.M.C. A. War Camp and Library Fund to be Pushed Here. Richmond will be headquarters for Wayne, , Union, Fayette and Henry counties' In the coming united war drive of the. Young Men's Christian Association, the Youns Women's Christian Association, the War Camp Community Service and the American Library Association. Local people representing these different associations will push campaign activities in this district from the local headquarters. , Miss Catherine Bailey of Indianapolis, state organizer for the Indiana campaign committee of the Young Women's Christian Association will be In Richmond this coming week to appoint a Y. W. C. A. district representative who will carry on previous to the big drive an educational campaign about the war work of the Y. W. C. A. . ' The government has recognized the Young Women's Christian Association as an invaluable resource In helping to win the war. Now that there are about 15.000,000 women holding industrial positions In the United States today, the government has turned to the Y. W. C. A. for help in the problem of housing these girls. The association with its vast experience in building homes especially suited to women, is erecting model houses which the government will use as patterns In establishing homes for its war workers. In communities where there are large numbers of women workers, the Y. W. C. A., Is planning to build and maintain social and recreation centers. These are really clubs and provide girls with home-like surroundings and healthful recreation. The general plan of these club houses is much the same. There Is a large rest room with easy chairs, writing tables and a victrola and pianola. There Is another large room suitable for drills and games; then there is a shower room and a cafeteria when one Isn't operated by the owners of the plant. Twenty-two such homes as this are now being established in government cantonments where tens of thousands of girls are working on war orders.

These club houses are called Industrial War Service Centers. A girl

does not have to belong to the Y. W

C. A. to enjoy the privileges of these

clubs. The Y. W. C. A. hostess houses in army camps are familiar to all who visit soldier boys. They are erscted by the Y. W. C. A. at the request of the government and meet one of the biggest needs of the camps. These ar,e only a few of the activities with which the Young Women's Christian Association want to acquaint the public before asking them to support their war work.

Americans in London Get Real Reception, Writes Soldier

"Speaking of girls In London,". 6ays Austin Brunson, serving with ; the American forces overseas, in a letter to his brother Orvllle Brunson at the Richmond Y. M. C. A., "well, they sweep down on our unsuspecting selves In droves and flocks. They flood us with Invitations and sweet smiles and glad eyes; they feed us tea; they smoke our cigarettes, hold out little hands and kiss us in public places. It is enough to corrupt even the most ardent woman hater. But !t is just friendliness in them and a desire to see what kind of people we are." In explaining his work in London, Brunson said, "But you are no doubt wondering what I am doing here. Twelve of us came over to the Island to learn some special machinery we are getting and taking back to France to make excelsior. ."We are billeted In private houses here in town, sleeping in real beds and eating real home cooked meals. I'll tell you It is a treat. We do not kklck In the least if our meals are mostly fish, for it la hard to get meat. Another fellow and I camp here with an old lady and n daughter, and they make lots over us and treat us very nice. They are doing their war work. I cannot realize that it has been six weeks since I came here and will probably be a month more before we go. Pretty tough. "We are In an excelsior mill during the day and at night we go and come as we please. Did you see much of the town when you were over? We are getting to know our way about pretty well; but It is the hardest

town to get around in I ever saw. And these two-story, sea-going busses running wild on the wrong side of the street is enough to strike terror to the heart of an innocent and unsophisticated country boy like myself. The town is full of good shows, and we have seen several: "The Bing Boys on Broadway, Fair and Warmer," "Twin Beds," "Going Up," "You Never Know You Know," "The Naughty Wife" and several others. Imagine how we enjoy them after eight months in an out of the way place in France. "When I get time I shall write you an 'article' on the Y. M. C. A.'s in London. Every country has an establishment here, and they do big work."

Decrease in Number of

School Children Anticipated A twenty-percent decrease in school attendance is anticipated by one of the largest book dealers of the city, and the supply of school material was

Va.. writes: "For 15 years I was afflicted with a troublesome bronchial cough and Irritation of the throat.

"We Always Have Exactly What We Advertise."

Buy Liberty Bonds "Till your heart says stop." Then when again in surplus funds, consider diamonds. In 16 years they have trebled in value. . . . Since 1914 they have increased 60 an enviable record which few securities can equal. Diamonds form an investment which never depreciates. They constantly yield a dividend in pleasure and ever-increasing value. We have settings for women bolder mountings for men.

May we not show them to you?
