AY, OCTOBER 21, to 12, at B4 [ 1 ( \e U hi 41 $ Pal Visit "Slum Post" Next we went to 31st and Normal. This station is called the South Side Settlement House or Slum Post, and From here we went to th» Industrial Home for Men at 1325 W. Congress street. Here about 150, mostly old and middle aged men who are "down but not out," are cared for. All that are able must work, as here is brought all old papers, furniture, old stoves, and everything you can imagine which is discarded or donated to the army. These men work at their various trades, some repair the furniture, clean and varnish it ,others repair the old stoves and make them like new. While others repair clothing, or sort rand bale the newspapers and magaâ€" zines into huge bales, and numerous other work. This repaired furniture and stuff is then taken to a certain sales room and sold to help defray the expense of this institution. These men are all given food and clean beds to‘ sleep in. They also have their large room for games and amusements. Major J. N. Sturm ‘has charge here and their motto is "Soup, Soap and Salvation." at 5040 N. Crawford avenue, near Argyle street. This 4 story brick building has room for about 65 occuâ€" pants and as many babies. Here is where the wayward young people find refugee and shelter in time of trouble, by conforming to certain regulations these young folk are taken in, given medical aid, food and proper housing until such time as they are again able to care for themselves and their baâ€" bies. The average age of the inmates is 17 years and the larger per cent of them come from "higherâ€"up" famâ€" ilies, which may be a surprise to some. It costs about $250 to provide and take care of one patient. This institution is financed by public subscription, bilt some reévenue is derived from some well to do parents who are identified and can pay. * We met at their headquarters, 719 N. State street and together with some other visitors, we were escorted via automobiles to their Young Womâ€" en‘s Boarding home, at 51 W. Delaâ€" ware place and we were treated to a splendid dinner. This building used to be the Union League club (a fine old work of art) and after building a more elaborate building down town, donated it to the Salvation Army. Here out of town girls find a fine home with all the comforts of a home life, two good meals a day, use of sewing rooms, laundry and ironing equipment, etc., for the nominal sum of $7.00 per week, where there are two or more single beds in one room, and $10.00 for private rooms. Capacity is 150 roomers. The girls are allowed comâ€" pany, but of course are under superâ€" vision, they are also permitted to go to shows or be out until 12 or 1â€"6‘clock in the evening, but their company and their reputation and Habits must be of a good nature. This institution is selfâ€"supporting. All cooking and bakâ€" ing is done here.

Last winter 185 families were on their books. These cases are thoroughly investigated beâ€" fore any relief is given and a record kept so that none but such as are worthy are helped. Other cases are turned over to their respective chanâ€" nels and proper authorities for correcâ€" tion. The conditions here are sanitary â€"shower baths, lockers, good sleepâ€" ing quarters, and good food. Thus we have visited only four of 62 instituâ€" tions in Chicago, and consider the Salâ€" vation Army as being one of the greatest hymanitarian‘enterprises in existence and entitled to all the aid and contributions that you are able to extend to them. | Signed, Chas, J, Herschberger, (As one of the members of the Lake County Advistory Comâ€" mittee.)

German royalists had a meeting the other day and did a lot of goose stepâ€" ping, but in spite of that the repubâ€" lican goose over there still seems to hang high. ° The spirits of those statesmen of England who carried that country through the past 150 years of every sort of crisis; who builtâ€"over ny obstacles on both sidés of the Atlantic â€"a hundred years of peace and inâ€" creasing good feeling, must feel a sense of futility when a small group can and does undo a great part of their work by arousing national prejâ€" udice for their own personal political gain.â€"Merle Thorpe, in Nation‘s Busiâ€" ness : Magazine. It is interesting to speculate just what difference to French finances the signing of any agreement with France would make. Many students believe that the funding of the French debt would do much towards establishing French credit, ‘ Americans do not seem to be popuâ€" lar in certain of the countries of Euâ€" rope. And this‘ unpopularity centers princ¢ipally in the two great countries whose soldiers less than ten years ago fought side by side with our solâ€" diers in the greatest war in history. The popular reason in France seems to be that the United States demands a settlement of our international debt. Thk.theyuy.htheumofthedrop‘ of the franc and the terrible condition of French finances, . It is seven years since the treaty of Versailles and dur-l ing those seven years France has not paid us either one cent of interest or principal. _ Nor during that seven years has France balanced her budget, and during that seven years the franc has declined.
