For Goldfish chowder have ready TWO
pounds Of fresh cod, three large spoonfuls
OF butter. a quart of milk, five medium
sized potatoes, one good-sized onion and
seasoning of pepper and salt Cut the Ash

a kettle on the stove. Then cover the bot
tom of the kettle with layer OF the FISH.
Add a layer OF the potatoes and onions,
which should be cut into thin slices. Con-
tinue In this way until all the ingredients
are used, adding a dash OF the pepper and
salt as each layer is put in. Cover the
whole with enough water to prevent burn
ing. When done add the milk and bring TO
the boiling point again. Serve upon bed
of buttered crackers.

FUND AID
TO WORKING GIRLS
Summer Vacations Are Assured
by Plan of National Civic
Federation.

The Vacation Savings Fund for Girls,
under the National Civic Federation
has for its object something In WHICH
all girls, and especially the working
girls, will be interested. The vacation
savings fund committee, of which MISS
Gertrude Robinson Smith is chairman,
and Miss Anna Morgan, daughter OF
J. Pierpont Morgan. visited the General
Electric factory, of Harrison. last week
in the interest of this work. II
committee one year g investigated
and personally tested about 100 mex
pensive but pleasant boarding houses
and farm houses located in the noun
tains within a short distance from
New York city. About 800 girls took
advantage of the suggested places last
summer
Often the question arises hoy a "a
girl who works and earns but "a mod
crate salary take advantage of this
pleasure? The answer comes by IN
vesting from ten to fifteen cents each
week with the vacation savings fund.
And it was for just this purpose that
the vacation savings fund was es-
tablished, whereby a girl could lay
aside a small sum weekly which would
ensure her a vacation and rest from
the yearly grind.
Every girl who wishes TO join the
vacation savings fund Upon making
the first deposit is given a stamped
folder. The Y. w. G.. A, of this city,
has been selected by the committee as
a sub-station, and they will make the
collections from the girls and give them
in receipt a stamp on their folder. This
ra0,1oH ic Than Gqnt IN the National
Civic Federation committee in New
York, where each girl holds an indi-
vidual account, and all money is de-
posted by the committee in the Harri-
man National Bank. Forty-fourth
The interest on the money, which is
for printing, etc.
Another liberal feature is that the
girls are not compelled to take advan-
tage of the houses recommended, and
are free to spend their money for any
vacation they may desire. Or If they
find at any time they must give UT the
savings fund and cannot TAKE he vaca-
ton, they can apply, and one weeks
notice will return heir money to them.
All girls interested in this new
Drancn or the WORK can meet WITH the
other girls who have Joined the vaca-
ton favings fund at a social meeting
held the first Tuesday Of every mont,
at 80 West Thirty-ninth street, New
York city. Tho girls who have already
enjoyed the fruits of the savings fund
nave taken as their vacation sons
Save IL UP, Save it up, for the Good
Old Summertime" Employers in New
York city and Jersey City nave also
taken a great deal of interest in the
movement and are glad TO laav the
work presented and posters placed in
the cloak rooms and lunch rooms. II
any OF the employers of Newark feel
interested the committee will be glad
to present the work TO them.

No information regarding the dividend
action on st. Paul was received before
the session ended, and, in consequence.
traders who considered this result as
all index to the course OF the market
were left with no clue to the purse

last few minutes to 1924, its best price.
