STAFFORD, Eng, Sp. 10.-Speak-
Ing at meeting at Stafford recently
on the question of women workers
and the war, particularly in respect
of the needs for economy, Lord Dart
mouth said that since the notice OF
the meeting had appeared he had re-
ceived an anonymous postcard which
expressed a doubt whether they were
right in directing their attention to
the working classes when the great
public bodies were an example of
such waste in their financial arrange
ments. -. %*%,l.s,' T.. a.
It was pertinent question to raise,
and what he would wish: to be clear
ly understood was that though they
possibly directed their attention in
the first place to the humber work
ers it did not end there. r:
Points Out Difference. ..
They should most certainly look
for an example Of economy from the
great public spending bodies; but the
difference between an individual and
a public body was this, that, whereas,
an Individual could begin practicing
thrift on his own. lines and at once,
the public bodies had a great COM
pick machinery which could not be
scrapped in minute. - &
= This was a time when they did not
want to buy anything because 1t was
cheap. The best way to inculcAte
thrift was to set an example. There
was no greater scope for instruction
than in home cookery, and there waA
no direction in which thrift might be
more usefully inculcated. 4G. 3. 49, f RI

the employment OF women presented
a very difficult problem. There were
many prejudices to he gotten over.
The question was often asked what.
