YOUNG EAGlIsH WOMEN
TRAINING IS FARMERS
SOCIETY WOMEN TAKING THE
PLACE OF MEN ON FARMS
DURING THE WAR.
BY WILBUR S. FORREST


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
LONDON. August 9.--London So
ciety has MIXED it's COW.
Ii has MIXED its first goat; pitch
ed its first hay; harnessed its first
horse and churned its first butter.
It's one of the many revolutions
of war.
War is hcll--on the farmer.
London society has come to the far
mers rescue. He needs help All
hands have gone to war. Why not
women? somebody said. That some
body gave London's society chance

In the very heart of Fashionable
West End. within earshot of Buck
ingham Castle. there was laid
model farm. No. l6, Castle House
Terrace, the home of Lord Cowdray
and the adjoining residential grounds
of the Earl of Lonsdale were requi-
sitioned by society working under
the auspices of the Land Council of
the National Political League. The
object was to teach women how to
farm-to take the place of men who
have left the pillow to shoulder the
rifle.
The opening day of the farm
school, found buxom Jersey COW
complacently grazing on the short
cropped and we'll tended grass under
the aristocratic windows of Carlton
House Terrace. A respondent roost-
er, perched on balustrade, watched
over bevy of fussy hens scratching
in the gravel of the driveway. Near
by, not far down the drive. stood
team of heavy footed draft horses
hitched to . vehicle that looked sus-
piciously like an American hayrack.
A ton OF hay lay nearby waiting for
someone TO come along and pitch it.
Likewise half dozen shiny milk
pals and huge milk can were wait
ing for the milkmaids to begin on
the Jersey COW.

goats next appeared. They arrived
through the big front gate where All

give their milk. A flock OF muddy

the goats.

hard work for some but they rolled |
their sleeves above fascinating fore |

submitted without a moor a |

In addition to the foregoing, scores

wide range OF subjects died with the
end of the congress, among them,
measures for federal road improve
ment, general waterway development,
reorganization of the civil service, to
prohibit importation of convict made

The last session of the congress
was notable. too. for the failure of

restrain unusual demonstrations

several great foreign powers were re-

peace commission treaties providing
for investigation of international dis
putes before resort to arms were
negotiated and ratified. A treaty to
enforce the regulations adopted by the
London Safety at Sea conference was

TWO INDUSTRIAL DISCOVERIES

Announcement is made on the Of
firiai authority of Secretary Lane OF
the Department of the interior OF two
remarkable discoveries by a govern
ment chemist The result of years
OF research, both discoveries come at
the most opportune moment. One
promises to increase vastly our pro-
duction OF gasoline; the ether to give
America that advantage in natural
resources which VII enable this
country to manufacture its own dyes.
ALI can reeall that only few years
ago there was general alarm lest the
increasing need for gasoline by mos
or vehicles and motor engines should
soon outstrip production and an Of
fer OF 100000 was made for the dis
covery of satisfactory substitute.
The pracarious position Of many
American textile and other industries
when. following the opening of the
European war, 1t seemed likely that
for tine We should be unable to
obtain our dyes from Germany and
England. will also be remembered |
The revelation Of the dependence OF I
American industry upon foreign ma
teriais came as a shock to most An
ericans and there was immediate in
sistence that we should at once take
steps to make ourselves independent
and self-sustsining in these partic-
ulars. But fear that on the conclus-
ion of the war and the resumption
OF foreign competition Americans
might be forced to abandon the new
plants checked investment in the
proposed new industries, of which

THE COST OF EYEGLASSES

Many families felt as if they were
being hit in new place few days
ago. when ii was announced that ow-
ing to the war the cost Of lenses
for eyeglasses had increased from 95
TO 80 per cent. But this may not
affect the price Of the completed
glasses much as the cost is largely
in labor. Il is to be hoped that this
is the case, as the providing of suitu-
able eyeglasses and spectacles is a
very considerable burden on many
families.
