Laundry From American Flotilla
Sent to Convent Near British
Base ^
BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLAS,
BRITISH WATERS, July 15, (Mail
Correspondence).—Cloister nuns, in a
home for Sisters of the Good Shep
her near the base from which the
American flotiilas are operating
against German submarines, have
been doing a thriving laundry business
among the bluejackets. Through the
intercession of two of their devoted
women friends with the American
consul and Vice-Admiral Sims, the
nuns obtained permission to receive
any work the American naval men
ftere willing to turn over to them.
When the jack tars learned that this
was virtually the only means of sup
port the secluded women had, they at
once showed an eagerness to aid. As
a result, there has been a growing
laundry list each week.
Although the nuns have been devot
ing many hours daily to this work,
they never see the young Americans
who have been so generous in their
patronage. The laundry is sent to the
convent in motor launches from the
I American destroyers as they return
from patrol duty. The bluejackets de
clare the work is such as to make the
modern American laundryman envious
and prices are considerably lower
than on the other side of the Atlantic.
QUEEN MARY
FOOD CLERK
—■■■ - —
Sells Supplies to Poor of East London
Over Communal Kitchen
. Counter
LONDON, July 12, (Mail Corres
pondence).—Quuen Mary and Princess
Christian had a busy time a few days
ago serving out meat pies, soup, ham
and other eatables behind the counter
of a communal kitchen in one of the
poorest districts of London.
They kept up a running conversa
tion with the poorly dres*sed children
who came along in numbers to get the
cheap food which is provided in these
kitchens at cost.
“What do you want, my little fel
low?” asked the queen of one small
boy who planked down his plate on the
counter.
“Two penn’orth of ’am lady,” was
the reply.
Queen Mary handed out the ham and
stuck the ticket on a spike in quite a
business-like fashion.
| Owing to the recommendation of
! the queen, there was a “run” on pies.
The average price of the ten arti
cles on the menu was two pence and
the royal servers disposed of a large
quantity before handing the distribu
tion over to others.

WILD SHEEP SEEN
FROM U. S. R. R. TRAIN
_
Trainmen on the “Sourdough,” the
train which runs from Anchorage to
King River, have brought in reports
of seeing numerous mountain sheep
between Palmer canyon and King Riv
er. The sheep are on the oposite side
of the river from the railroad. The
animals cannot be shot at present as it
is closed season and they are appar
ently taking advantage of the protec
tion to feed close to the settlements.
