Y. W. G. A. Helps French
Munition Workers
Twelve social centers, or foyers, as
they are called by the French, are run
by the American Y. W. C. A. for girls
and women who are working in the
great munition factories of 1* ranee.
Two of these are in St. Etienne and
three in Lyon. All have cafeterias
connected with them.
Girls and women who work in these
factories are of all classes and ages,
but all are French. The men em¬
ployees are of every nation Chinese,
Cingalese, Algerian, Moroccan and
Portuguese. Many of the women are
refugees. Multitudes have lost every
relative and friend. There are daugh¬
ters, mothers and grandmothers among
them.
These foyers are the only place ex¬
cept the street that the majority have
In which to spend their out of work
hours. Barracks for sleeping, eating
and bathing are the only provision
made for the comfort of the workers
by the management of the factories.
The women and girls meet their
men and women friends in the foyers,
sew, write letters, press out their
waists, stitch on the sewing machines,
read and rest. The rooms are their
homes. Games and entertainment are
provided and educational classes. Of
the classes the English ones are by far
the most popular.
All these foyers are sanctioned by
the French Ministry of War.
BOMB PARLOR FOR
AMERICANS IN PARIS
“A series of unearthly wails from
the siren that announces an air raid
and we are out of our beds and down
In the bomb parlor in double quick
time," writes a woman who lives at
the Hotel Petrograd in Paris. “Many
times I have mode the flight twice in
a night. But you get used to it and
drop off to sleep again as soon as you
get the chance.
"The ‘bomb parlor’ is one of the
unique features of the Petrograd. It
is not Its official title—a few of us
have, named it that. It is a good sized
room at the bottom of the house and
has no outside walls. Once there, we
feel as safe from harm as we ever did
In our beds. We spend the time be¬
tween the ‘alerte’ that turns us out of
bed and the ‘all clear’ signal that tells
us to go back, with games, reading and
visiting. I have seen Red Cross nurses
on the floor fast asleep in spite of the
awful din of the bombs and guns.
“More kinds of uniforms in all
stages of freshness and fading come
Into the Petrograd, which is the Amer¬
ican Y. W. C. A. hostess house of
Paris, than any other place in France.
Soldiers and suilors meet their women
friends there; there are the Red Cross
nurses, the women of the Signal Corps,
American women stenographers, vari¬
ous medical orders, the Y. W. C. A.
naturally, and all the rest. It is a nev¬
er ending, strangely shifting throng.
"Besides being unique for its ‘bomb
parlor,’ the hotel serves butter for
breakfast and has bathing facilities
for its resident guests at all hours.
Th,ese are enough to give lasting fame
to any house in France at this time.
Last winter It was known as the
•house with warm rooms.’
The Hotel Petrograd of Paris is one
of the three Y. W. C. A. hostess houses
in France. The others are at Bourges
and Tours. The social rooms of all
are open to any woman or girl at any
time of day or evening to meet her
men or women friends, rest, enjoy so¬
cial intercourse, read or write.
Colored Restaurant for Alcovy

CHANGE NOTION
ABOUT CALOMEL
New Variety Called Calotabs j
Is Perfectly Safe and
Delightful.
With all of the liver cleasing
and system purifying qualities of
the old-style calomel, but robbed
of its sickening, griping and dan¬
gerous effects, Calotabs is des¬
tined to become the most popu¬
lar of all home remedies, as it
has already become the favorite
of all physicians.
The new style calomel, called
Calotabs, is perfectly delightful
in effeejt. One tablet at bed¬
time with a swallow of water—
that’s all. No nausea, no grip¬
ing. Next morning you awake
feeling fine, your liver active,
your system purified and with a
hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you please, there is no
restriction of habit or diet.
Genuine Calotabs are never
sold in bulk. Ask for the origi¬
nal sealed package, price thirty
five cents. Your druggist m
ommends and guarantees Calo
tabs.—Advtr
