WOMEN AND THE WAR By MRS. HENRY P. DAVISON Treasurer War Work Council National Board Y. W. C. A. Hostess Houses in the military camps all over the country are one phase of the Y. W. C. A. War Mrs. Davison work Council s activities. These reception houses are placed at the entrance to the cantonments for the use of women visiting their sol dier relatives. So necessary have these proved that tents and bor rowed rooms were pressed into use until houses could be built. Often the Association rooms in the near est town were turned temporar uy Into hostess houses. “We put up an extra cot," re ported one western secretary, who re turned to tell the War Work Coun cil the special needs of her commun ity, “for an old Lithuanian mother who came a hundred miles to see her boy in camp. She cannot speak a word of English and she has to have her old black pipe every hour. But her boy loves her. “Another charge bestowed upon us Is the girl-wife of a ‘bootlegger’ ar rested for selling whisky to soldiers. He was wild with anxiety about her till we said we would look after het. “A thirteen-year-old imp has just been turned over to our care. She ran away from a convent, and, be ing adventurous, made straight for camp.” Any hostess can tell you heart breaking stories of times when the hostess house has been the refuge of stricken women. She can tell you also of incidents when the hostess house has brought about a happy end ing. Prayers of gratitude for the Host ess House are murmured every night in many towns by women who are of no particular importance to any one except to some man in the army— and to God. The commandants of the camps are as appreciative of the hostess houses as is the most forlorn woman. No house is erected except at the direct request of the commanding officer. Fifty-four houses are now in use, others are being built as fast as lum ber and carpenters cdfc be secured. Each house has its individuality. The plans for the building at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Georgia, were re drawn by Miss Fay Kellogg in order to save three magnificent oak trees. A fine old Southern mansion secured for the Young Women’s Christian As sociation headquarters at Petersburg, Virginia, is as popular with the sol diers from Camp Lee as is the official hostess house. The hostess houses serve the entire nation. The work with girls is one of the most important functions of the War Work Council. It deals with all kinds of work with girls. Girls in small towns, in cities, in country villages, and in the great manufacturing cen ters are all touched by the unusual conditions of a country in a state of war preparation. Their patriotism may urge them toward unexpected pit falls. Their very enthusiasm leads them into danger. (Continued Political Announcements W. R.

The convention that formed the con stitution of the United States met at Philadelphia on the 25th of May, 1787. The articles of confederation under which the revolutionary war was fought were not satisfactory, and it was proposed to amend them. Most of the delegates to the convention were so instructed. The states of Vir ginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey appointed their delegates “for the pur pose of revising the federal constitu tion”; North Carolina, New Hamp shire, Delaware and Georgia, "to de cide upon the most effectual means to remove the defects of the federal Union”; New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, “for the sole and ex press purpose of revising the articles of confederation”; South Carolina and Maryland, “to render the federal con stitution entirely adequate to the uctual situation.” But when the convention met discussion of the situation led the delegates to decide upon framing an entirely new constitution instead of patching up the old articles of con federation. The convention sat nearly four months, and on the 17th of September, 1787, the completed constitution was signed by the president of the conven tion, George Washington, and by all the members except three. It pro vided that “the ratifications of the conventions of nine states shall be sufficient for the establishment of this constitution between the states so rati fying the same." The first state to ratify it was Delaware, on December 7, 1787, and the ninth was New Hamp shire, on June 21, 1788. This made it the constitution of the states that had ratified it, they constituting the union, but New York did not ratify until July 26, 1788, North Carolina until Novem ber, 1789, and Rhode Island until June, 1790.

NEW AX OLD LADY’S CHOICE Tired of Chopping With Dull Tools, She Is Easily Satisfied, Despite Newly Acquired Wealth. On a clear cool evening In the early spring a man on a horse crossed the ridge of a mountain, and, seeing a cabin in the valley, turned his horse In that direction. The cabin was white washed and clean. The mountaineer and his family sat on the porch. Sev eral children played in the yard". The stranger arrived at the gate and was Invited Ip and sat down on the porch with the' family. "Stranger,” asked the mountaineer, “are you interested in our oil up Ijere?” “Well, no,” said the stranger. “I haven’t much faith In oil. I hear of these people who suddenly strike it rich, hut I never find them.” The old man chuckled and said: “I am one. Yesterday I was poor; today I am rich. I was Just asking my fam ily, now that we could have things, what they would rather have. Now, .Tohn here, he wants a horse, and Mol ly wants a new dress, and Susie says she’ll take books.
