with workmen putting in the machin

for a day or so. so we began hunting
places to eat and sleep. That was a
trifle t liât the employment folks hadn't
thought of. The workmen were sleep
ing and eating in the cars that had
brought them there, hacked on the
siding. Our only chance for beds and
food was with those seven farmhouses,
so we marched straight to the farmers'
wives and asked for hoard and room.

hustle over to the factory, and the
three girls vvho'd been working all

we went 'most distracted. Those poor
girls had to sleep in tents and in the
cars that the workmen had abandoned
by this time, and they were lucky if
they got a straw tick and a blanket.
By this time Ic had turned raw cold,
and maybe you know what late an

Tiie majority of the 400.000 diners
were mothers, wives, sweethearts and
friends who went to the camp to visit
their soldiers. The remainder were ;
soldiers themselves who broke the mo- ;
notony of "cliovv" with home cooked 1

Porto Rico has a cafeteria. It is the
first one established on tiie island, and
when it was opened in the Y. W. C. A.
Hostess House at Camp Las Casas the
natives crowded around much amused
at the Innovation. They insisted upon
having American dishes.
The house became very well known
in a short time, and a group of women i
from San Han volunteered to go out j
every week to mend soi ks and sew on j
