SNAIL A VALUABLE FOOD
Edible and Nutritious, 10 the Verdict
That Has Been Arrived Al by
Those Who Know.

"All snails are edible and nutri-
tious," says Canon Horsley in book
on British land and fresh water mol
luscs. Just published. He goes on to
say that even the common or garden
snail. though insipid. is as nourishing
as calfs-foot jelly.
There is q large white shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is commonly
eaten by connoisseurs in the south OF
England, while all over France. Italy
and Spain several species are used a.
food. In France there are many snail
farms. which yield good profit to
their owners. In the French and TIA
liam quarters of New York snails may
be bought. either alive or cooked, and
at most OF the French restaurants
they are served. "escargots farcis" be-
ing the most usual form OF the dish.
Snails are easy to raise in large
quantities They need lime for max
ing their shells, but they do not have
to be fed, as they can ind their own
food. which IL exclusively the leaves
of many plants. They are most deli
cious when properly prepared and
cooked and. as Canon Horsley says.

A WOMAN CIVIC WORKER.
Miss Blanche Geary Labors to Better
Living Conditions of Working Girls.

Living CONDITIONS OF working Girls.
The woman who is doing the most
for housing conditions of women and
girls in industry in America today is
not an American. She is an English
woman, Miss Blanche Geary, who gave
up q musical career in London because
she felt that teaching music to IL sort
OF after dinner society set of pupils
wasn't Il big enough field for ones
whole and best effort. The problem of
properly housing the members Of so
ciety i'll less fortunate circumstances
forced to live In undesirable tcncments
seemed to her Il better service. After
four years volunteer training and OK
p%cricncc in managing certain model
tenement buildings in London, she
heard from an American woman of a
homes company i'll New York and de-
cided to come to America and see what
opportunities lay i'll that field here. 1t
took her some time to convince the
company that Il nm could take
charge of that kind of work, but she
succeeded. When she began there
We're exactly 100 tenants, and in eight
years under her management. which
included the repairing, hiring of en-
ploycc&, choosing OF tenants and the
collection of rents, the number had in
creased TO 22,SG4.
1t was i'll this work that the national
board of the Young Women's Christian
association found her and came to her
for advice on new buildings which they
| were about to erect. When the ma
tional board was ready to add an eco
monte and buildings specialist TO its
staff Miss Geary was offered that posi-
ton, and because she saw in it an OPP
%rortlnity for doing Tor girls through
out the whole country what she had
wanted her firm to do i'll New York
city Miss GGlry accepted. She is now
the consulting specialist for the 9I6 as
s~ociationS Oh al matters pertaining to
her particular work.
She is called on to help select sites
for buildings, to go over all blue print
plans. making such changes as she
deems advisable for the work to be
done, to advise on building materials
cafeteria equipment and management
and everything pertaining to the eco
nomic status of the association. HeI
Office at headquarters looks like that OF
the busiest business man. She has tho
regulation architects cabinets for ma
terials and plans. and from the blue
prints always spread out Oh her large
work table one might call her office al
architects laboratory.
Miss Gcary says the association
wants to demonstrate the ideal family
life, as far Us it can be made possible
with large numbers under one roof; i
wants to develop Il spirit of independ
ence and self government and to gran
to the utmost possible extent the free
dom which stops short of license-tha
is, freedom plus standards.
