REPORT OF Y. W. C. A
A Splendid Statement Made at An
nual. Meeting Held Today.
At the anntial meeting of the Y. W.
C. A. at- the Carnegie Library this
morning, at 11 o'clock, the following
reports were submitted by the sec
retary and treasurer:
"Since the organization of the Y. W.
C Association of the Woman's Club,
in March, 1902, it has steadily grown
and gained strength; in fact we can
say that it is almost self-sustaining at
this time. JThe house has been full
most of the year, and on several oc
casions applicants were refused for
want of room. Over fifty persons
have made the Association their home.
This number includes students of bus
iness colleges, stenographers, sales
ladies, trained nurses and transients.
"Board is supplied at absolute cost,
and it has been the endeavor to make
it an ideal home for young women.
There is a neat sitting room, and the
individual rooms are well-furnished
and comfortable.
"Social and educational entertain
ments are provided for the guests of
the heme, which add much to their
pleasure and seem to be appreciated.
"We now find that our quarters are
too small, and we are endeavoring to
procure a larger building. We are
much encouraged with our work, and
feel that we can do much more the
coming year, as our membership has
increased, and people of the city have
been very kind in aiding us, and visits
from them to the home would, we
think, be satisfactory on both sides.

Letter of Prof. J. G. Baird,
Charlotte, N. C.
Dear Sir: You are a teacher:
here's one for your boys:
If the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint, and one
paint goes twice as far as another,
how much are those two paints worth?
If Devoe is worth $1.50 or $1.5 a
gallon, how much is the other one
worth?
How much is a gallon of paint worth,
anyhow?
The answer is: Depends on the
paint.
The reason is: paint isn't always
paint. There are true and false paints
and short-measure.
How much is a short-measure gal
lon worth? How much is false paint
worth? How much is Devoe worth?
There are millions a year in the an
swer to this last one. Yours truly,
F. W, DEVOE & CO.,
New York.

A SAVING O,
20 Per Cent, on the Oollar
January is not yet half gone. February and
March are yet to come, therefore there are
two and one-half months nearly a fourth of
a year--of cold, and bitter cold, weather.
20 Per Cent. Discount
At the beginning the goods were marked
very low, and now that one-fifth has been de
ducted it means a saving, a big saving. The
styles are foremost; the suits are made to fit
as though your measure had been taken by
the tailor.
