According to the Blue Star Mother's web site, the organization did not exist in 1918.

It sure looks cold in the Liberty Hut.

That's actually a very cool photo site. They have some excellent vintage photos on a variety of topics.

Check out this one with the pool boys called "Our Gang" from 1909: One way to control the street boys. A common scene in the Bancroft-Foote Boys Club, New Haven, Connecticut.

Look at this beautiful table with inlays.

There's something just plain creepy about this dude:

New York, 1909. Balkline billiards champion Calvin Demarest, six years before he was committed to an insane asylum after attacking his wife with a knife. He died in 1925 at the age of 37.

You can tell he's hiding something the way he's holding his hands in this picture.

This Calvin has creepy eyes: Noted Billard Player Expires in Illinois Insane Asylum": CHICAGO, Feb. 22. Calvin S. Demarest, former amateur champion billiard player and later a professional, died at the Elgin Asylum for the Insane last night. Demarest suffered a nervous breakdown last June and attacked his wife with a knife. She was saved from serious injury by Demarest's mother. The billiardist was taken for treatment to a rest cure, but failed to improve and was removed to the asylum. As it turned out, Calvin was very much alive. In 1925, though, he died before his time.
