There's no péason they should starve any more than a foundrymasn. ' The war energy of scores of citi- mens is greatly needed these times to "put Kingston on the map. A dozen organizations are calling for men. The United States senators seem to be putting on a war to keep away from a League of Nations created to prevent war. These old guys are al- ways obstinate. Tax exemptions have grown into an evil of startling proportions when one scans the lists of the community of institutions that escape their right- ful obligations. . ar The man at Atlanta had a wonder: ful amount of self-esteem when. he remarked, as he discussed reforms, that "I'th 'certainly a success when I'm worth throwing eggs at!"

This is something which is as a rule kept very much in thé background, but those who are engaged in work amongst girls, and who are interest- ed in the welfare of the girlhood of our city, find that conditions exist in Kingston which are, to say the least, very harmful to the girls who, after their day's work is done, find themselves thrown on their own re- sources for their pastimes. And where do they find their amuse- ment? Some of 'them walk. the streets the whole evening, looking for friends, others spend the time in dance halls, some of which ara very questionable resorts, and oth- ers spend their time in even worse ways. For the sake of these girls, who only need something good and wholesome to fill in their evenings, it is time thit some organizatiou took upon itself the responsibility of trying to reclaim them from the streets. The only organization which is Y.W.C.A., but its hands are tied by lack of equipment and facilities for providing a sufficient amount of healthy recreation for the girls to keep them from other amusements. What a great work could be dona for the girlhood of our eity if this organization had at its disposal a well-fitted club-room or gymnasium, where the girls could meet night after night and devote their time to the making stronger and healthier their bodies and minds, instead cf wasting their energy in dancing un- or in some other equally useless way. In larger cities the &clud rooms. of the girls' organizations are features of great interest and good, and it would be well for Kingston if there were some such place in our eity. but the room and the equipment al the disposal of the officials are at of establishing some kind of gym- and physical improvement of the | houses cannot | skilled and unskilled workers | their f { more of | ing, I ty works to be unde during} What is needed is . akan lic taken {f labor, and it natur- 5 {the manufac fina coming year. and the "pep" this bodies initiative, nece ' ¢ 1 : % ards of 1 to back uj is In interested initiative quality the Kingston publi rated are sadly lach needs ¢ } g ahead] for har- making active preparation population; {yor improvement; Oswego is making living conditions; tity te contented attrac a strong bid to capture the trade of is claiming most of the trade is coming are going their own steam, and the authorities to take Kingston are Ontario, and Buffalo and {ipat the Ke more workers; greater regular- establishes th in the community by giv- and produces fficient her way.
