Editor The Argus: Communica tion relating to a wailing station on Market Square have recently been printed in your paper. We would like to state that the program of the civic department of the Woman's c'ub of Rock Island, issued In June, called for three papers on comfort stations on the 14 th of November, from one of which, written by Mrs. W. M. Walker, it wilt be seen that the agitation of this important question antedated by several months the letters recently published by others. Extract from Mrs. Walker's paper: "The program committee has asked that. In addition to the puhllo comfort station question, that of a rest room be handled. I shall Just touch on that at present. We have no place where employed women and girls can go for a few minutes' rest and relaxation at noon, ao place where the tired shop per, from some of our surrounding ter ritory, can go to relax and wait for her car and perhaps let her child rest or eieep. "Speaking from, a humane stand point, we seed such a place. Tbe Y. W. C. A's meet this need In most cities. You are all familiar with the methods Moline and Davenport em ploy. "From a commercial standpoint It would be of benefit. The out of town shoppers In for a day do not go to a hotel, but were some place provided where they could 'brash up' and rest, wouldn't they come more often and stay longer, thus spending more mon ey In our city? "In order to get at what seems to us who have spoken on the topic to day, the way to -ultimately adjust this question. I must speak of mother need, and that is a waiting room. With fifteen and twenty minute car service, with stores closing very early, it leaves us with the choice, in cold storm v weather, of standing on cor ners with the river wind cutting throurh us. or walking. Near here may be mentioned Decatur, Galesburg, Danville. Muscatine, and other cities nro ided with, a waiting p'ace. It may Off I The Industrial Evangelistic founda tion with headquarters at 1106 La Salle street station, Chicago, has uu dei-taken a remarkable piece of con structive work, in attempting a sur vey of 200 cities in the United States to assemble information relating to commercial. Industrial, educational, re ligious, recreational, municipal and welfare activitiy to aid in the promo tion of its work, which is that of co ordinating industry and the church In the extension of the gospel to the in dustrial class. The cities are being grouped in four classes as follows A 6.000 to 25,000, B 25,000 to 50,000, O 60,000 to 100,000. D 100,000 up ward. Given to Expert. The Information, when assembled will be placed In the hands of a so ciological expert who will review the findings. Interpret the material, sum marize the statistics and prepare charts therefrom; the results will be placed In permanent form with sug gestions for practical use. The study will be made by the foun dation's specialist, A. M. Bruner, of this city, who is one of the few indus trial religious specialists in America, a recognized authority on shop ' and factory, meetings. Mr. Bruner was one of the experts on team one during the men and religion movement 1911-1912. Campaigns demonstrating the founda tions system of community extension will be conducted during the survey. be argued that neither Moline nor Davenport has one, but why, for once, ran we not take the initiative and start an agitation? "Why can we not combine our three great needs a public comfort station, a public rest room for women and a public waiting station? But where, you sk. Rock Island Is peculiarly fortunate In having an ideal location' one that at present 1s going to waste and mars the civic beauty of our main thoroughfare I refer to Market square. Every car line in the city passes this point, the real estate belongs to the city, so there slTould be no trouble about the site. "As to the building, would the Trt city Hallway company be willing to cooperate In such a movement? Tub- j lie utility companies seldom spend I money for the comfort of patrons un-j til public sentiment demands It. When tbe Tri-city Hallway company was granted Its long term franchise, prac tically no conditions were imposed. But does tbe fact that we have no club to hold over it lessen Its obliga tion? It does not. This company owes us a great deal, but only by arousing public sentiment, and by our city doing Its utmost, can we obtain from the street railway company what is our due. "After having studied conditions. It seems to us that such a building could be erected, a building having the first floor a public waiting room, with pub Ho comfort stations In the rear for men; the second floor, a rest room for women, with publio comfort stations for them. I should like to ask that every member of the department give this ' her earnest thought, and to have tbe subject kept before us and agitated for It will take that." PUBLICITY COMMITTEE.

"Moody Commends the Work of Dan Crawford, African Missionary At the time of the visit recently of Dan Crawford, missionary to Africa, to this city, decision was made to build and endow one of the number of mission schools in the heart of Africa to be known as the Hock Island school. A committee of ladies consisting of Mrs. .William JHcLeaa Stewart, Miss Katherine Gest. Mrs. E. D. Sweeney. Mrs. T. E. New land. Mrs. J. L. Vance. Mrs. R. Bollman. Mrs. Alexander Qnist, Mrs. C. D. McLane, and Mrs. John Tit terington was appointed to undertake the raising of $500 necessary to build the school. This committee Is now en gaged In soliciting funds for that pur pose and the workers are meeting with much encouragement Two questions have been very properly asked by -persons Interested enough to consider the committee's request for contributions: first under what au spices does Mr. Crawford carry on his work, and in what manner is the par ticular fund for these proposed schools to be administered? W. R. Moody of the KorthCeld schools stands sponsor for Mr. Craw ford in this country and It was through him that arrangements were made for his visit to Hock Island. The append, ed letter his Just been received by Rev. J. I Vance from Mr. Moody which states the facts regarding the DAVENPORT, IOWA. contributions, and which the commit tee desires to spread before the pub lic: March 16, 1914. "Rev. J. L. Vance. Rock Island, III. "Djear Mr. Vance: T am wery glad indeed to reply as far 41s I can to your inquiries regard ing Dan Crawford. Mr. Crawford Is not under any denominational board, but on the other hand, he Is working with a society la England which is largely made up of Plymouth Breth ren. One of their principles Is to avoid the regular church organization. In this respect they resemble the So ciety of Friends, but their missionary work Is done by a society, and it is In connection with this society that Craw ford has worked. As you saw him, you 1U appreciate his independence. and as you have learned from him of the character of his work you will realize how much latitude be would have to have la his work. Even David Livingstone, in order to carry ea the exploration work which opened up the heart cf Africa, had to sever his con nections with, the Presbyterian board of Scotland, that he might have the latitude which he felt necessary In doing his work. "Mr. Crawford has a treasurer in England, but we have not forwarded tbe funds direct to the treasurer, for warding them, rather, to his publisher. the George IL Doran Co., In New York, who in turn forwarded the funds by draft to the treasurer In England. The funds which be has received will be largely administered under . his own supervision, although held by this treasurer. In all my relations with Crawford, however. I have found him Irreproachable In money dealings, and I should not. If I had a large sum to give, have any hesitancy tn placing It in his hands, reeling that he would use it wisely, and with his familiarity with the needs in that region in which be works, make the most careful usei j of it. In all his labors here I have i noticed his careful economy not to j indulge In any luxuries, and be has labored unsparingly. " "Before jMr. Crawford came to this country he was recommended to me by a leading editor of England, who wrote me that the two archbishops of the Church of England, and many of the leading churchmen, had presid ed at his meetings in England and endorsed him, while the British and Foreign Bible society had published his translation of the new testament, now having in hand a second edition. From the Congregational board in this country I learned through Dr. Cornelius Patton that missionaries in Africa had written the home board re garding him, and of his having disap peared into the very heart of Africa. Of those who have seen his work I Imagine, that there are necessarily few, for the very fact that he spent his life during the last twenty years in a country which has not been vis ited .by many whites, and where mis GRAY FADED HAIR, OR BEAUTIFUL, DARK, ATTRACTIVE CHOOSE, Says Sage Tea Mixed- With Sulphur Restores Natural Color and Lustre. Gray, faded hair turned beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night, is a reality. If you'll take the trouble to mix sage tea and sulphur, but what's the use, you get a large bottle of the ready-to-use tonic, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" at drug stores here for about 50 cents. Millions of bottles of "Wyeth's" are old annually, says a well-known drug gist, because It darkens' the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell It has been applied. You Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with .Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur sionary efforts have not penetrated. He has, I think, ten stations located on Lake Mweru. I made every inquiry I. could regarding Mr. Crawford when making his arrangements, and have satisfied myself, so far as I am con cerned, in regard, not only to his-integrity, but as to his Judgment, and to the confidence of others . in nlm and his work. .
