MATERNITY HOSPITAL 0 ERECTED BY FRIENDS IS BOON TO FRANCE
Care for. the illegitimate children of France Is one of the problems facias the country, according to a letter received by Walter Woodward, editor of
the American Friend, from Dr. Edward A. Steiner, Friends' relief worker in Ohakms, France. Dr. Steiner was formerly engaged In lecturing on sociological subjects. He writes: "French women in the deportment of
the Marne are eagerly wa&chine the! pro press of the new maternity hospital j which is being built at Chalons under the auspices of American and English
Friends. They have seen the great work being done in the old and inadequate quarters and they are rejoicing in the Prospect of a new building wnich will be modern in every respect. The walls are up and there are many visitors even now. The women are , casting wistful glances at the private rooms with baths a rare luxury in France and the birth rate may increase in consequence. "France is apprehensive on one point population. 'Give me children or I die. is the voice of Rachel inat is heard in Paris and repeated by all thinking men and women whom 1 meet. The war has increased illegitimacy to frightful proportions: but the children are abandoned or killed soon after
birth. The state adopts every child pivcm over to it and is even grateful. The Friends Maternity hospital has received 972 abandoned children since it was opened in September, 1914. Explains Abandonment. "Mile. Merle, the charming and efficient directress of the hospital was asked why the children are abandon
ed. 'What affection can a woman have for a baby forced upon her by men of other races?" was her reiply. 'We have mother of 16 years who gave birth to a baby of unmistakable Mongolian parentage. She had been attacked by two Annamese soldiers, and she does not even know which of the two is its father. How can a mother care for m baby born under such circumstances?' "We have bad African, Chinese, Jap
anese, German, Spanish and Italian babies who were born without love, not to mention the fact that they were born out of wedlock. The mothers who come to us before the babies are torn are required by our rules to nurse them for at least two weeks and during that period they learn to love their babies and often continue to provide for them. Has Hopeful Side. "The more hopeful side of the maternity hospital is that suggested by its name. There have been 1,250 babies born here since 1914. Not the least important, and indeed some think the most important function of the
maternitv hospital, however, is the
mising of the standard of nursing in
France. The profession of nurses has
not enjoyed an enviable reputation in the past. Under MUe. Merle, with the aid of English and American Friends, nurses are being trained for France who will do much in the course of years to raise the moral standard of their calling. Juliana Ta.tum, of Llanerch, Pa., and Phebe Perry, of Westerly. R. I., are the American members of the international staff. "Tt 1 expected that the new building will be completed In July. It is costing a million and p quarter francs, this sum representing the balance that was contributed for the French work and has remained hitherto unexpended."

The Richmond Dry Goods Go. Is Here to Grow With Richmond
In union there is strength, remarked a wise old sage. It stands to reason that a store operating single-handed cannot fairly compete with a chain store; one man cannot overpower ten men; one battleship cannot win over ten battleships; one soldier cannot whip a corps of ten soldiers A few advantages that a chain store has over a store under single management are herewith enumerated for your study.
r-- - aw aua
A Chain Store Docs Noi Pay jobbers' commissions Pay high prices because of small quantities Pay the drummers' traveling costs
A Store Under Single Management Does Pay the jobber a commission Pay higher prices for goods Pay for destructive overhead expense Charge higher prices for merchandise because of these conditions

The Liberal Policy of the New Store Will Please You Many stores advertise "Money back if you want it." Then when you demand it, you are offered other goods or given a "die bill." Only when you bring great pressure to bear that the actual cash is returned to you. At THE RICHMOND DRY GOODS COMPANY this will be unnecessary-, aa you can get your money back at any time you want it without any quibbling or fuss. We issue no due bills of any kind, but return you your original sum at a mere wish. AND ONE PRICE TO ALL. We believe that we will be the only establishment in Richmond to carry out this policy of ONE PRICE. You will likj the business policies and clean merchant dising methods of this new store. -'
