BIG "Y" HUT INJJ3 HOURS jHundred and First Engineers, of Twenty-Sixth Division, Do Quick Job Paris, May 9.—To have erected in 33 hours a building of 15,000 square feet floor space, including a theater, special rooms, two can teens, class rooms, kitchen, offices and five sleeping rooms, the whole heing what in army parlance is known as a "hut," Is an achievement of which the 101 st Engineers, of the 26th (Yankee) Division, Ameri can Expeditionary Force, may well be proud. The "York Harbor Y. D." hut of the Yankee Division, opened by the I Young Men's Christian Association I at Le Mans, owes its inception to | Miss Grace Thompson, of New York,, who raised a fund for the purpose in York Harbor, Maine. Owing to J the early return of the 26th New England Division to the states, the original plan was modified to the ex tent of allowing the New England boys to erect a hut by their own labor. Time was pressing, but that was a detail which only put the eager beneficiaries of the scheme on their mettle. Foundations had to he leveled, French municipal author ities had to be dealt with for the site and for the location of sower, water and electrical connections; one car of material carrying the floor joists went astray and other tim bers had to be cut at a local mill. Notwithstanding ail these difficulties, the hut, which is the largest one used by the A. E. F., was erected, New England stone fireplace and lat ticed doorways all complete, in a space of time that made the good people of Le Mans rub their eyes in amazement. Suitably decorated for the dedica tion ceremony, the big hut was turn ed over by the 26th division to the American Embarkation Center for use of the American Army on its way home. George W. Perkins, of the National War Work Council, made the formal presentation to the 2 6th, whose com manding officer, Major General Harry C. Hale, acknowledged its ac ceptance on behalf of the division. After the war, the hut will he handed over to the people of the city i of Le Mans, "as a token of cordial j friendship," as said Major General I George W. Read who, in his capacity ! as commander of the American Em barkation Center, committed the operation of the "New England j Home" to the care of the Y. M. C. A. Postal Telegrah Adopts Eight-Hour Day New York, May 9.—Charles P. i Bruch, general manager of the Pos tal Telegraph system, announced; here that effective June 1 the eight hour day and time and a half for overtime had been adopted for ail its employes in fifty-one large and small cities in the United States.

I "The Live Store" I Something About Clothing Conditions There's one thing to remember this year—in one sense there is no such thing as cheap clothing; poor stuff costs nearly as much as the good.

Be sure of your store, and clothes that are guaranteed to satisfy you; as long as you pay the price of good clothes you had better go where you are sure of what you'll get there.
