BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE FOR USE OF WOMEN, PANAMA Just iuside the main entrance of the 1 Panama Pacific Exposition is a build ing erected for the use and comfort of the thousands of women who will visit San Francisco during the exposition. Two years ago the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Associa tions were invited by the officials of the exposition to erect and equip a suitable structure. The result is a beautiful building iu the south gardens, facing the Towel of Jewels. It is directly to the left of the Scott street gateway where it w ill he convenient for \ isitors entering or leaving the grounds. An Information Bureau There is an information bureau in I the center of the main lobby where it can be seen the moment one enters the i building. A staff of trained women is |in attendance. The visitor who wants ; to know about train schedules or car j service, or the woman who is anxious to find a good place to board near the , exposition, will be given the desired in formation. Facts about the city and : bay region will be furnished here. Di i rectories of the exposition officials and ! employes, of churches and social service i agencies will be available for all who , apply. An emergency service and a j trained nurse are part of the equip ! liieut of this department. On this same tloor is a large quick service lunch room, where both men and women can obtain well cooked food at I moderate prices. Five hundred people j can be seated here at one time. A ; mezzanine balcony extends around the j room, and from the tables laid here j one can overlook the south gardens and the lagoon. The Towel of Jewels is only a short distance away and the I central features of the wonderful il | lamination scheme are within a stone's ; throw. The view from these windows will make the balcony tables most de- i • sirahle. Aside from the regular lunch J and supper there is an afternoon tea I service. This lunch room is [lartieularly I convenient for the people attending I programs in Festival Hall. Reading aud Writing Rooms There are comfortable reading and writing rooms .just off the main lobby where strangers in the city may read ; the news from their own home paper, or j write a letter to their friends. : On the second floor is an assembly room which seats two hundred and fifty ■ people. Motion picture apparatus has been installed. This hall is available I without charge for suitable organ iza- I tions desiring to use it for conferences and meetings. Many organizations , whose work is educational in character or along lines of social service will hold j sessions in this building. It has been | estimated that an average of three or | four conventions a day will meet in San Francisco during the exposition year. Many of these will be of especial j interest to women. CHECK AUSTRIAN ADVANCE. I RUSSIANS ME 2 TOWNS I*>ndon, Feb. 27, 3.18 P. M.—The Austrian advance in Eastern Galieia has lieen checked ani the Russians, driving back their opponents, have re captured Sianislau and Kolomea, ,-avs the '• Evening News" in a telegram from Hertza. Rumania. Heavy fighting preceded the recap- | ture of these two towns. The Russians occupied Stanislau yesterday. Ad vancing from that ;>oint they attacked j the Austrian position at Kolomea. Tae Austrians offered determined reli ance, but. the "Evening News" says, finally were forced to give way. Although it has been reported un officially that the Austrians had cap tured Stanislau, as is indicated by the : foregoing, no such admission had been 1 made by the Russian War Office. Siau islau. situated 75 miles southeast of Ijemberg, is a pivotal point iu the cam paign of the Austrians to recapture the 1 province of Galieia. Recent reports in- 1 dicated that they had made consider able progress. FRKNCH PAPERS SAY BRITAIN < AYf ACCEPT I. S. PROPOSALS Paris,-Feb. 27, 5.40 A. M.—The French press is unanimous in declaring that Great Britain cannot accept the informal proposals, said to have been made by the United States that the embargo on foodstuffs for Germany be raised provided Germany abandons her intention of destroying merchuntships. The papers, however, express apprecia tion of the spirit in which the proposals were made. The "Matin" declares such a step would be carrying altruism altogether too far because "every loaf which a civilian was able to spare was a loaf the more for a soldier: in other words, the allies are asked to continue the war and sacrifice the lives of their soldiers in order to save German civilians from want." Kaiser Honors Von Hindenburg Berlin, Feb. 27, By Wireless to ixm-, don, 9.35 A.

Pentagonal Trunks to Stay By inocialrdii'reii, | Washington, Feb. 27. —Proposals by railroads to exclude from regular bag gage service pentagonal trunks were ' pronounced unreasonable to-day by the l j Interetate Commerce Commission. Y. W. C. A. Planning Program The Young Women's Christian As sociation is planning a strong program 1 of speakers drawn from its own ranks i and also from prominent men ami worn-1 en whose work is related to the broader 1 lines of association activities. Problems in home economics, hygiene, physical training and recreation, questions of thrift and efficiency and kindred sub- \ jeets are to be listed for discussion. Films picturing actual association work are to be thrown on the screen !daily. In ad>litiou to the motion picture and stereoptieon exhibit, the halls of j the building both upstairs and down! will display the winning models—the j results of a nation wide contest. All over the eouutrv the girls of the city 1 associations have been working to com- | pete for national prizes. Awards will jbe made for the best business girl's costume. The decision will be based , upon suitability, economy and work manship In the department of thrift and efficient'/, budgets will be shown giving a distribution of salary calcu lated to conserve health of body and miiul, to provide tor moderate recrea tion and to save up for the future, i There will be awards for atories, songs, i short articles, photographs and original drawings. Big Help to Girl Employes The building on the exposition ; grounds is more than a center of in formation and exhibit of work done elsewhere. It is a real Young Women's IChristian Association at work. A trained worker will give full time to the girls and women employed at the big fair. There will be between two and three thousand of these girls. They juiust be aided iu securing trustworthy living accommodations. The exposition officials have asked ithe association to look after any girls jwho arc discharged from the various concessions. They have said that if some probation scheme is arranged whereby the difficulty with the girl can be remedied, there will be the possibil itv of reinstating her. If she should be permitted to drift out into 'lie city alone and discouraged, she would be open to every sort of temptation. It is the intention of the Young Women's christian Association to offer friend ship and practical help through its sec retaries and members. Wholesome rec reation and relaxation is to be provided. There are to be evening classes in salesineuship, bookkeeping, typing, and stenography conducted in the associa tion building. They will be open to employes of the exposition at a nom inal cost. A club room offers au oppor tunity for social gatherings, and a series of taiks on hygiene, dress and comfort will be open to the girls who wish to attend. As the only strictly woman's build ing on the grounds, it is expected that it will be in constant use and dn. a igenuiue and much-needed service. GREEK SETBACK TO OHIO j Man Who Prayed for Bread on Third Street Is Returned to His Home From the Jail After wandering for five months in the mountains of Pennsylvania, sleep ing in the smnv on nights when he I eoald tiuit no convenient barn, John i Sissis, a Creek from Canton, 0., .iis heveled and hat less, fell down before a j woman 011 Thiird street near Walnut last Saturday morning and prayed in his 1 language for a crust of bread. His a - 5 tions were those of a crazed person and i the woman called a policeman and the! man was locked up. He was thought to be a Turk as the j word "Allah" was frequently use! in his ambling talk. It was discovered in jail that he was almost starved to death. After several days a Greek in terpreter spoke to him and his story came out. He was sent to his brot'.ier in-law in Canton, 0., yesterday by local! Greeks who interested themseives in his I case. Missis had left home bound for his j native Greece, having SISO and a ilia- 1 mond ring to pav his expenses. He became confused in Pittsburgh owing to j the transfer of the trains and believ-1 iug that he was on the wrong train he I jumped oft' afid began his five months'] wandering orer the wilts of the State \ finally ending in the Dauphin county j jail. He slept in barns and ate s an ely | anything but apples when he could find j them and crusts of bread. He begge I j from the farmers when winter set in. | He can understand no KnglisJi and his j lot was a hard one. His hands and 1 feet froze during his wanderings. When he got to Harrisburg he was crazed from hunger and prayed for a j crust of bread. Nobody could under stan 1 him and he was committed t) jail. After,a day he ate ravenously and when Warden Caldwell saw his ra tional mind returning he made efforts' to locate the man's home and finally the Greek interpreter secured the informs-1 tion.

COAL MINERS' CLOCKS. Teliing the Time of Day by a Lamp or an Oil Flask. Do you know that every miner wb-n descending into she pit to work takes with him a couple of clocks?
