HAPPENINGS IN AND ABOUT TOWN

BOOTHS TO KEEP Although Tuesday Brought the Registration of Women to Close, Work Continues. Tuesday brought an oükiul -Ioe to the 1 cl:t' of ronj'Mti ;iteI effort cm the part of the womt-ii of -'t. Jo-t-eph county in reif.-rinK for war fervlce. The registration was :,P;oseJ to end Tued.ty but the women liave responded in such Kreat numl.er.n that it has been almost tmposMble to handle them at the 40 registration booths that v. er placed throughout the city. Ho it was decided to continue the registration until the end of the week at various8 booths. Most of th" school registration booths will be kept open. The teachers in the various school will announce- in their claims rooms at 'what hours the registration booths vill be open ami women living in the vicinity of a school can renter at tho time if they have r.ot y t rsitered. The hchool . that will be i. pen are the Oliver. i:!der, Lincoln. Studebaker. Washington. Franklin. I-tfayette, Corjulllard, Perlcy, Kaley nnd Unden buildings. All dov.ntown störe Tvili keep their booth open for the remainder of the week. These downtown booths will be at Wyman's. liobertson's. KINworth'x, Sax's. Urandon-Durrell fvn'1 th" lied Cross workshop. The J,exinpton tea room will have a place for reiteration for an indefinite period and any woman who has not registered can avail herself of this opportunity. Wanl Ilootli OiK'ii. In the lirst ward the people's Irutf store will be open evenings only during the rest of the week. In the seconl ward, the Chapin Ktate bank. White's drutf store, and Ilernlcz store at the corner of Huey ft. and Washington av, will he open afternoons ai.d evenings for the rest of the week. In the third ward. Saeloff and IVffley's grocery will be open in the afternoon only. Chury's grocery will be open from o'clock on throughout the evening-. In the fourth ward all of the downtown booths will be open during the hours of the stores and ;daces of business in which they are located. In the sixth ward the house to house registration will be continued. A woman who registered Monday offered a 100-acre homestead in Virginia to be used for a hospital or rest farm for returned soldiers. "The place has not heen occupied for quite awhile." she said, "but if it can be used I will see that it is put in shape so that it can be made comfortable for the men who come back." Mrs. T. A. Olney, county chairman, wishes to announce to anybody in the city who may have misunderstood the meaning of the cards vhlch were placed at registration booths throughout the city and Mlshawaka that they were not placed there "as a silent request for contributions. It seems that a great many women have felt that because we have said that contributions to defray expenses of the registration r.-ould be accepted, that it meant that woman could not register without giving a. fee of some kind and fctiil feel that she hail done w hat was expected of her. At the outset we tried very hard to make it clear to everybody that ther was nohing compulsory about the registration nor was any fee expected. Other states have charged a fee but it was decided that this plan would not be followed in the registration of Indiana women but ne placed the cards lit reßlstration booths because many women offered bits of money merely aa u matter of personal feeling. During the 10 days' registration there ias been $10 collected from the 40 registration booths." "The women of South Bend and the entire county." sai l Mrs. Olney. "have certainly shown where their hearts are. More than 3 percent of tbe women have definitely placed themselves in the second line of liefen by registering for war service."

SOCIETY ED. 'SCOOPS' HER OWN PAPER BUT SPILLS STORY HERE

It was a rather nervous bride-to-be that timidly walked into the county clerk's office with her i Fpo'-'se-to-be Monday evening just j before the office was closed for the day. That she "eyed" in a sus- ; picious manner The News-Times ! reporter, who happened to be present while th marriage license was bing Issued to the couple, only denoted to the newspaper man that the furtive glance from the apparently coy maiden were because she was "just shy." as is the case oftimes with young girls not accustomed previously to double harness. The scribe little dreamed that the lady was herself a member of the "tribe" and that he was elopin? with her companion, who apparently was not in the leat perturbed. However, when she returned to the county clerk's office Tuesday morning to further caution Stanley Tobolsk!, deputy clerk, who issued the license the previous evening, not to "tell" The News-Times reporter, because she didn't want her mother to tind out about her marriage, the young bride "spilled the beans." She evidently had not seen the published account of her license in the morning issue of The NewsTime A gum-shoe investigation revealed the identity of the couple, who stated to the marriage license clerk that their homes were in Iakeville. but was later contradicted by the real facts being confirmed in a telegram to The News-Times late yesterday from the paper's special correspondent at Rochester, Ind. The bridge was formerly Miss Huth Urinkman. society editor of the Rochester Sentinel, and her hu.-band is Thomas IJ. Hoover, son of a Rochester furniture dealer. After Miss Brink man's day's work was completed Monday afternoon she met Hoover and the two stepped into his automobile and sped for South Bend, arriving here about 4:o() p. in. They went directly to County Clerk Haab's office, and after securing the license to wed went to the office of Justice Wypiszynskl, who aid the mystic words that made them man and wife. WILL MEND STREETS OF CITY AS DECIDED John P. I)e Haven of the board of public works talked to the South Bend Ileal Estate board at its weekly luncheon and meeting Tuesday on the recent order of the state council of defense for all municipalities to defer public Improvements until after the war.

Mayor Carson went to Indianapolis last night to attend a meeting of mayors of the state and the Indiana council of defense to get more specific Information on the council's order regarding the deferment, of public improvement?. All members of the Real Estate board who were present at Tuesday's luncheon stated that the general aspect of their business has improved somewhat the past week and look forward with optimism to the balance of the spring and summer business. The appraisal board was increased from five to nine members at yesterday's meeting, and Pres't Hastings announced that the board Is now ready for engagements. Yesterday's luncheon was held at the V. M. C.

A wonderful week has jut passed, a week rich in experiences, perhaps the richest in all my four months' stay in camp. First came the Liberty loan parade with its thousands of troops and all equipment, representing one complete army division, and the "Y" men, who marched ßO strong from Camp Grant to Rockford, and then turned ri'ht around and marched straight back again, a distance of 14 miles. It was said that our platoon formation swung around the corners with lines equally as straight as did the soldiers and for the numbers engaged the wounded were not more numerous. Three only of the "Y" men failed to march back to camp in time to assist in putting away the ice cream cones promised these who made a perfect score. Then came a visit to the trenches with their dugouts and z!g-zag and bomb proofs, their barbed wire entanglements and phone lines and gas devices. Trenches, six or more feet deep and three wide, m'les of them just like they are on the fighting front. Trenches where a thousand men can live underground Just as they do In France. Down deep into the earth we groped (the lighting system Is not yet completed) through the "officers' headquarters." Ihe "mess hall." the "rest room" with its underground lireplace, down a narrow aisle between the four-deck sleeping quarters which reminded me of nothing so much as the rows of pens at a poultry show. Here and there machine gun emplacements showed how difficult the task of an approaching enemy to capture the dugout or the trench system. Down "Michigan av." Anil then down "Michigan äv." to the "Y" dugout, with the groat red triangle which means so much to soldiers, placed conspicuously above the entrance. This is built to accommodate 200 men at one time. About four months ago I had the pleasure of spending several hours laboring with pick and shovel, assisting in the construction of this dugout. It is a big hole underground, roofed over with plank, floored, ceiled and well braced. It h:s the, canteen counter, tables, chairs, writing desks and free stationery, victrola- cotfee making outfit, moving picture machine and all the comforts of home possible to give The will and men actually in the trenches operating crew eight men be drawn from our "Y" each man will spend a forces week there under actual warfare ''onditlon. subject to trench raid?, gas attacks, etc. We will serve lunches at midnight to oir men. wherever thev.mav be.

where each day the incessant rattle of rifle and machine guns is heard. We inspected the target pits and dug out of the bank a half hundred bullets which have been tired by Camp Grant soldiers at imaginary Germans. And all this preparation and practice just to teach men to kill. We have a high salaried man on our "Y" force whose sole business is to teach soldiers how to disarm the other man in hand to hand conflict, how to break the back of the enemy if he has caught you in any vise-like grip and is seeking to take your life. "Foreign to the Y. M. C. A." you say? Ordinarily, yes, but this is an extraordinary time. We try first to make the men more effi-. cient soldiers, then better men spir-ituallj-; we try to keep up their spirits when they are far from home and friends and try to give them food for soul hunger at the same time. Do we succeed? Come into ourV'Y" and see. Watch that stout, cheery individual at the desk. See how many of the men stop to say "Hello," or to shake, hands. Always a cheery word, always a happy response to any greeting. That one characteristic is going to take him to France. And I know that "atmosphere" is our stock in trade; I know that visitors are sent to our "Y" and instructed to just sit around and absorb "atmosphere." AVIi.it Do Parents Say? And what do mothers and fathers say to us about our "Y ?" What do the boys themselves say? "You men are doing a great work for our boys" and -"We couldn't get along without the 'Y'." And ours is only one of eight. So much for patting ourselves on th? back. This has been a great week because I saw hundreds of men listen with rapt attention to one gospel speaker saw hundreds raise hands for prayer saw hundreds rise in response to the appeal to live a straight and clean life. And I saw on a movie night (a night on which we had only a movie booked) 500 men start singing a full half hour before time for the movie to begin saw heard them start "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder" without instrument or leader, just a spontaneous outburst of religious song. Finally a soldier went to the piano, and I turned out lights and threw words of songs on the screen. It was a wonderful sing fest because it was spontaneous. Then I saw a stand of colors presented to a regiment by citizens of St. Louis. Two thousand men marched to the "Y" auditorium through a downpour of rain trudced along ankle deep in mud, with ong and cheer, and then stood for an hour while their colonel received the colors stood for an hour or more through all the ceremonies band and speeches then raised the roof when they were called on "to batter hell out of Uerlin and march clear through to Potsdam " And they were reverently quiet and 1 believe sincerely thinking as God's blessing was invoked upon the colors, the cause and the regiment. Men Sin;? and Pray. And last night in our good-night service, gathered around the organ, men sa.ig and prayed and talked about their own spiritual lives. One prayer will always stay in my memory just as I want it to stay in yours one prayers from a soldier boy, a halting, brief prayer, but from the heart. Listen: "Lord, help the line to hold till we get there." This represents the thought that is in the hearts of our boys the boys who come to our Y. M. C. A. daily. "Lord, help the line to hold till we set there" nothing about home or loved ones, nothing about life, nothing but the supreme sacrifice if necessary, and the quiet assurance that when "we" get there, all j will be well for democracy. Lortl Help the line. Iord. help the line to hold until they get there. Hilly Sunday was in camp here last night. He talked in the new Libert theater. Sim "P.illy."

I?end campaign. And "Ma" was there, too, and told tho mass of soldiers assembled about her fighting relation. And "Rhody" made a lot of new friends. A thousand colored men, new arrivals from southern camps, occupied one section. Under "Rhody's" leadership they sang old plantation melodies and camp meeting songs, and how they did sing! "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" was the hit of the evening. The very latest is that an officers' "Y" is to he started as soon as permission is granted in Washington, and a hostess house will soon be I erected in Camp Gran.
