Such features as a ventilated oven that in
sures perfect baking. Heat indicator that en-
ables you to control the oven temperature. A

with only small government allow
ance for the support OF those left be-
hind.
Typical examples of the struggles
OF soldiers dependents have been
published in one of the London news
papers. In one case q soldiers wife
says that where she previously paid
$5.lo Tor living expenses for one
week, she now pays nearly $500.
Rent now costs her 85 cents a week.
food $1.75 and the remainder goes to
various benefit clubs and for other
| expenses. But between the govern
ment allowance, her husbands COM
muted nay and the work she gets
from the Queens Needlework guild
by making shirts for soldiers, she is
able not only to put shilling a week
into the bank but another one aside
for clothing fund.
Among this woman's weekly items
is shilling to feather club, which
she eXp'"ins as follows:
Il am in feather club to get q
lancer plume which will cost IS shil-
lings IL pence ($4). II you don't
wear good hat in Whitehorse Lane,
they say you are coming down in the
world, and / don't want them to think
that Also, nice hat makes you
feel young, and really I am only
very young. I always try to look
clean and decent"
Another story comes from a labor
err wife. who has one son in the army
and two sons, aged respectively 13
and two years at home. Her income
Is is shillings a week from her hus-
hand. two shilling sixpence from the
S!didrs' association and the same
from the 13 year old boy when work
ing and four shillings earned by her
self at shirt making, altogether "a
shillings or $500 dollars.
Bread, she says, is their heaviest
expense, since they use four loaves

comes to S1.25 altogether and mere
cost of living leaves only few pen
nies out OF the weekl'' income Meat
in the form of stew is luxury for
Sundays. Bread and margarine is the
main fdoo of the family. Her story
continues:
