Miss Irene Head ley Armea, who
has just returned from Paris
where she spent six months as
Hostess of the Hotel Petrograd
operated by the Young Women's
Christian Association, declares
that not a single person under
thirty years of age should be sent
to France.
I would suggest that not a
woman under thirty go abroad
unless she can accept responsibili
ty" Miss Armes said. "Life on
the other side is entirely differ
ent. The first thing an American
discovers when she arrives, keen
to do her 'bit', is that France is
full of hard working people ard
she does not seem to be needed
much.
."After her first three months
abroad, whatever is weak inside
of you begins to realize that this
is a situation stripped of every
bit of artifice, camouflage or red
tape, and that only the tinners
that count are left."
Miss Armes declares that "over
in France these days, nobodv
preaches religion." "Every
thing is stripped bare" she said,
and 6ince the war began, Eng
lish and French women have
grown silent. Any one who can
not understand this thing should
not go to France!
American Eo'diera are consum
ed with curiosity about French
girls when they first arrive, Miss
Armes said. "The soldiers are
much more interested in them.

The Fulton County Chapter A.
R. C. made for the month of
September 108 drawers and 100
undershirts. This allottmentof

the Pennsylvania Division Head
quarters Philadelphia September
28. Forty-fiye ladies sewed in
the Red CroBs room, and to their
credit, some were present almost
every afternoon.
Our Chapter has both the
workers and the enthusiasm for
doing good work, as September
is a fruit month there was sacri

No matter how many sacrifices
we made, no matter how great
the cost, this war must be won;
and the winning of it will call
forth all our energies as a na
tion. Men and women, boys and
girls, will be required to do their
part to the uttermost, if our pur
pose is to be accomplished.
Cl' AIRMAN,
Working Committee,
Ulay be Misunderstanding.
There appears to be a misunder
standing in regard to building op
erations under the new order o
the United States Government
twill be necessary, hereafter,
to receive the approval of the
Pennsylvania Council of Nationa
Defense for every new operation,
and it will be necessary to re
ceive the approval of the Build
ing Director for all repairs cost
ing more than $2500.
Heretofore it appeared to be
understood that new operation
costing less than $2500, might be
undertaken without the approva
of the Building Director. Thi
is not the case, since there must
be approval for every new op
eration.
"I believe", said State Build
ing Director B. Dawson Coleman,
that when proppective builders
understand exactly what the
Government desires, they will as
cheerfully and unanimously re
apect us wisnes as auto owners
have observed "gasle3s Sun
days."
Burn Wood.
After many years urging the
conservation of timber, the Unit
ed States Government now feels
obliged to face about and ask the
public to burn wood instead o
coal.
The Council of National De
fense has issued instructions
throughout the country, advising
people everywhere to burn as
much as possible in order to save
coal.
The State of Pennsylvania
owns more than a million acres
of land, and nearly all of it
timbered. It is possible that the
next Legislature will be asked to
take Bteps which will enable the
public to use a judicious amount
of the timber for firewood.
