To meet the growing demands made
upon the cafeterias of the Y. W. C A..
Miss Marian E. Hopkins, expert die-
tetian of the National War Work
Council, has come to Washington to
standardize the three large cafeterias
now being conducted by the local V.
W. C A. to meet the requirements of
the United States Food Administration
and at the same time to give to tho
war workers of Washington the most
nourishing foods obtainable, tastily
prepared at the least possible expense.
Miss Hopkins opened the first cafe
teria In Washington for the Y. W. C
A. eleven years ago at G26 E street
northwest, and her work in establish
ing cafeterias in connection with
dozens of hostess houses In the can
tonments of the United States has
placed' her high In the. ranks of her
profession..
TBe E street cafeteria is to be en
larged to meet the growing needs of
that section of the city. The.Y. W. C.
A. have also let contracts for" the con.
struction of a large up-to-the-minute
swimming pool at this location. Miss
Schwendener, physical director, is at
present In New York city securing the
equipment for the swimming pool.
The gymnasium has enrolled three
times as many younar womn tnr th
fall and -winter classes as have ever
Deen enronea in the history of TocaJ

Tho Liberty Cafeteria, established
lr. connection with the Sunday cam

tions of the city. Here are. fed any
where from 1,100 to 1,800 people dally.
All the large groups of soldiers com
ing to Washington from foreign
lands, as well as many thousands
oi American soldiers have been fed
at mis cafeteria.
The third, and probably the most
important cafeteria is conducted on
the second floor of the Admlnlstra-
