WXA. BUILDING 10
BE AT CAMP PIKE
fLittle Rock, Nov. 24—A military
.mp mav be no place for a woman
ut there is going to be one camp
hat has the benefit of a woman’s
ouch no matter what the allied
lowers mav say about woman’s pres
nce in such places. This is Camp
>ike and the decision of Major Gen
nd Sturgis to permit the erection
a hostess house there is the
irowning feat of the war service
ward It Is also the first of the
atensive program of the War Serv
ce Board to become an actuality.
When V. M. <1 A. buildings,
Knight of Columbus Club houses, and
various other buildings were being
located, it was suggested that the
[women should have a chance to
make Camp Pike a good place for
young men to be turned loose in.
The big, blustering men of war
scoffed at the idea and would have
none of it. This old style war horse
did not get away with it, however,
for Major General Samuel D. Sturgis
has the last say, and in some way
the propisltlon was laid before him.
Here is a man who has not forgotten
there is 99 per cent boy in every lad 1
that comes to Camp Pike, nor hats |
he forgotten that he was once him-|
self a boy, and in his memory
lingers the picture of a soft voice to
encourage when the world seems all
up hill. Major General Sturgis did
not hesitate. He said right off the
reel that there would be a Hostess >
House, provided the Young Women's
Christian Association would agree to
operate it.
The Y. W. C. A. consented and
today The finishing touches are being
put to a neat cottage that seems all
windows, which stands on a knoll,
surrounded by headquarters of vari
ous regiments, and right in the very
center of the camp. The Hostess
House is the closest building of any
sire to the railroad station.
The Hostess House was given this
location because it is intended fiorr j
a rest place for mothers who come
to visit their sons. It is to be made
pleasant in every detail, with its rest
rooms, recreation parlors, and big
sun parlors w'here light lunches will
be served to those who care to par
take of them.
.Major General Sturgis has gone a
step further. He has ordered a stone
walk constructed from the depot 10 1
the Hostess House, and he will main-1
tain a detail at the station to escort
all women who come to the camp
to the Hostess House, where the
matron will attend to their wants.
If it is a mother who comes to see
her son, the matron will get in com
munication with the barracks of his
company, and see that he is imme
diately notified. If It is a wife to
see a husband, or sweetheart to see
her fiance, they will be called over
the telephone, and if it is not pos
sible for them to come, an orderly
will accompany the visitor to the
hospital or barracks where the loved
one may be found.
The Little Rock Y. W. C. A., which
is governed by prominent society
women, will supply the hostesses for
the building, one for each day. In
this manner the "building will always
be in charge of a capable woman,
and the visitors are assured of
every attention.
General Sturgis contends that wo
men visiting the camp will soon see
that military life has dulled none of
the finer instincts of the men, and
if anything has increased their spirit
of chivalry. He wants the women
to come to the camp, believing that
a visit from mother, sister or sweet
heart occasionally makes a soldier
strut a bit, and when he struts he
is satisfied with himself and the
life he is leading.

IT’S TOO BAD
He was young and handsome.
She was younger and beautiful.
She seemed to hang over every
word he spoke.
Suddenly his handsome face dark
ened with repugnance.
“It’s too bad!" he exclaimed.
The beautiful girl paled.
Nevertheless, her sensitive nostrils
quivered. She knew he was right.
So she took the egg away and
brought him another. And 8he didn’t
charge it on the check.

WHAT HE CAME FOR
A little boy with a long fish pole
walked up the creek where the
banks were steep and slippery and
fell in the water. As he was wading
ashore an elderly man came aldng
and stopped and cleared his throat
before asking severely: ‘My boy,
how did you come to fall in?”
The boy looked at him contemptu
ously. “1 didn’t come to fall in. 1
came to fish," he replied.

METHOD IN HIS MADNESS
Young Arthur was rather a digni
fied lad and whea a neighbor, who
was turning a corner, observed him
tearing down the street at a rapid
gait, his head down, he knew that
something unusual had happened.
"What—what’s the matter wore?”
demanded the neighbor.
“I’m tryin’ to keep two boys from
getting into a fight,” panted the boy.
"Fighting, eh? Who are the boys?’’
“I’m one of ’em.”

HE SHOULD WORRY ;
The Nelson family have felt the
financial strain caused by the ex

was evinced by the husband’s reply
to his wife.
Awakening suddenly one night Mrs.
Nelson listened for a moment, then
nudged her husband, saying:
“Frank, there are burglars in the
house!”
“Well, what of it?” roared back
her husband, ‘l^et them find out
their mistake for themselves.”
