New York. Nov. 2l.--Following
the Made in L. S. A. movement In
stituted by manufacturers to extend
the use OF goods turned out by Amer
lean factories In preference to those
of foreign origin has come the
Grown In the u. S. A." campaign.
Its purpose ts to encourage the
growth from American soil OF as
large u proportion as possible Of the
foodstnffs consumed by the Ameri-
can people and to show the consum-
ers of the country that II will be to
their advantage as well US to that Of
the growers to demand products
grown In this country in preference
to those brought from abroad. The
cliief impetus for this new movement
has come from the sugar producers OF
the United States. who have started
an energetic campaign to replace
can flag the 3lO0.O0O,OO0 worth OF
sugar now purchased every year by
Americans. In this instance. 1t
would be a case of both Crow and
Made In the L. S. A., for both the
farm and factory processes would
take place In this country and. as the
sugar men point out. would go long
way toward removing the balance OF
trade against US which amounts to
$i5O, 900 900 . year on the exchange
OF foodstuffs with other countries. In
addition to the domestic sugar pro-
ducers. tho apple growers have en-
L. t<~n q
the wider use of apples and their
substitution for foreign fruits. and
the California fruit growers are
pushing their lemons and other semi
tropical fruits against the imported
varieties On the whole the present
movement promises to lead to a great
awakening OF national spirit OF
self reliance and to make the United
States far more Independent of other
countries for her food supplies than
she has been in the past.
New York Has Woman Fireman.
New York has lust discovered that
for some time 1t has nup'Hcred among
fireman in the city. and so far as is
known in the Whole country With
this discovery has also come another
to the effect that having found a wo-
man fireman the city may shortly be
forced to revoke her license. At any
rate tire Board of Education has TAX
en- stems to withdraw the license and
tue matter will have TO he ;assei

C.Onrt IN a rase whirh wilt prpbabi,
be unique in its records, The woman
fireman in question comes from an
engineering family and four years
ago while aiding in the support OF
her family was waitress In one OF
the city high schools. After hours II
was her custom to help the regular
fireman and when he left .he got III"
job. Her work was not interrupted
until the Board of Educution learned
that she had obtained license from
the Police department authorizing
her to run any boiler I'D to 90 lbs.
pressure The only reason that has
heen advanced for her removal is
that OF her sex and in view of the
efficienr work which she has done in
her chosen avocation her case bids
fair to achieve considerable promin-
ence. Indeed In some quarters it is
believed that the question as to
whether woman may be a fireman
is likely t. receive almost as much
discussion as another which is now
facing the city as to whether school
teacher should be a mother.
