Our former townsman, Charles W.
Mock, who is a member of Company
E, First regiment, engineers, at Wash
ington barracks, District of Columbia,
writes the Daily .Times as follows
from the national capital:
“This is a wonderful city, full of
wonders and soldiers. This has been
a great trip. It does one so much
good to see the wonderful cities of
the East. Observing the people as
I have, I can say that the best dressed
; people I have seen are those that one
finds clear out West in Seattle. The
1 people of the East have net got the
speed of the people of the West. I
have seen more negroes in Washing
t ton than I thought were in the entire
United States. When you come to
beautiful Washington, then you real
| ize that we are at war. Our govern,
ment is making great preparations
not only for the present, but for future
emergencies. Thousands of soldiers
are going East each week. For what
point I can not disclose. Some Alaska
(boys are to be found amongst these
Eastern boys. What a great help our
1 experience in the mountains and for
ests has been to us! These Eastern
boys will be obliged to go some to
keep up with the race of men from
the Land of the Midnight Sun. When
e all return to our respective cities
n Alaska you will not be ashamed of
vanr record. All Alaska men are well
'wed and populaf with the officers
' 4d men because they come from such
'remote section in order that they
light render their most valued serv
es to their country.
“Washington is a very historic city,
have been in the gallery while the
>use was in session, also when the
‘ - *\ate was debating. I enjoy listen
* [to the arguments on both sides
In some important subject is up
’discussion. I have met Senators
Bley K. Jones, James Hamilton
Miles Poindexter and Hiram
m, also Delegate Sulzer. They

to represent them than Delegate Sul
zer—ambitious, conscientious and
trustworthy.
“I have been to Mount Vernon, Get
tysburg and West Point. Washing
ton’s monument, which stands 55E
feet high, is a wonderful structure
and the old Potomac river must not
be forgotten.
“And above all I must say that a
soldier boy in Washington need not
worry. He is welcome to all social
gatherings of every nature. The
Eastern people seem to talk differ
ently from those of the West. I en
joy listening to them. These Eastern
girls—well, they don’t come up to the
Western girls by any means. There
are 30,000 girls from every state in
the Union working for Uncle Sam.”

Washington, D. C., under the entertain
ment committee of the war camp

of 50 people who have been contrib
uting to the entertainment of soldiers

committee, Robert W. Bell, chairman
and producing manager, has placed
vaudeville entertainments at eleven

ington during the year, sometimes
three in the same evening in different
camps. New members who have taken
part in programs for the soldiers

HOME DEMONSTRATION
The district of Columbia now has
twenty-five home demonstration cen
ters, including one for work among the
colored people. This work on food
demonstration is part of the urban
extension work with women in home
economics that the United States de
partment of agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges are doing in war
emergency service in many American
cities.
‘‘Anyono who is interested is wel
come to the instruction,” said M^ss
Aubn Chinn, one of the assistant di
rectors. The government furnishes
the demonstrators, the women attend
the demonstrations, practice the reci
pes in their homes and report on
them. If a group of women desires
to organize a center the women who
attend secure a suitable place
for demonstrations, such as a church,
school or^kitchen, and a trained home
economics specialist conducts the
demonstrations.”
Simila^work is being done In about
200 of the larger cities, according to
reports.
