Mrs. Whiffen, Oldest Actress on American
 Stage, Is 71 Today

Mrs. Thomsa Whiffen, who has been playing the American and English stage for half a century, begins her seventy-secondy year today. Mrs. Whif- fen is not like most women, who seek to hide their age. She is the oldest actress on the American stage, and very proud of that distinction. Re gently she made her first appearance in vaudeville in a New York theatre, and declared that she proposed to in vest her earnings from the engagement in a chicken farm, to which she in tends to retire when too old to act. Old as she is, Mrs. Whiffen is not the oldest of actresses, for Miss Genevieve Ward, who has been Sir George Alex ander's leading lady at the St. James theatre in London this season, will soon pass her seventy-eighth mile stone. Miss Ward, the oldest of Brit ish stage women, is a native of New York, while Mrs. Whiffen, most ven erabIe of American actresses, was born in London. Mrs. Whiffen was one of the four children of MT. and Mrs. Ga1ton. Her mother was a grand opera singer, as were her two aunts, Louisa and Susan Pyne, the former having been for \ several years the partner of William Harrison in the Covent Garden Grand Opera Com pany. Miss Galton made her stage debut in 1885, playing the role of a
 
 ROyalto Theatre. In 1868 she became the bride of Thomas Whiffen and soon afterward came to America as con- tralto of the Galton Opera Company, her sister Susan being the prima don ma, her husband the light tenor, and Alfred Ke1leher, afterWard her sisters husband, the tenor rObusto. Two years later she entered the dramatic field. For thirty-five years she has acted old woman roles. I've acted the old woman so much and so long that just naturally had to grow to be one,'' she said recently. She never thought of retiring, she declared, until last Summer, when she spent some weeks on a chicken farm near Boston. Since then she has entertained the ambition of spending her declining days on that farm, as the proprietor, However, she expects to remain on the stage for several years yet. Her hus- band, who was a. talented singer, died about twenty years ago. During her long career Mrs. Whiffen has sup ported many of the greatest stars of the American stage-''ancient and modern,' one might say-incIuding Miss Anglin, Henry Miller, John Drew, Mary Mannering and Ethel Barry more.

men seemed to be taking the neces- sary precautions to produce milk of low bacterial count. They reported their utensils as washed and scala ed. It has been proved that the utensils are an important source of bacteria unless they are thoroughly scalded or sterilized. There is some question as to the efficiency of the scaIding process Gs it is carried on in many places. The water must be so hot the hand can not be held in it, and kept hot until all the utensils and bottles are cleaned. They should then be inverted in some protected place where they will not become contaminated. The average bacteria. score of all who have exhibited to date and have reported the use Of a sterilizer, is SIS; for those report ing washing and scalding, 26.3 and for those reporting washing only POS. These relative scores are, of course, not due entirely to manner of cleaning utensils, but they indicate that unsterilized utensils are a source of bacterial contamination.
 The data tabulated from the re- plies on the question blanks show in general that there must be a co-or- dfnation of all the factors conducive to the production of high quality milk, coupled with good sound ''cow sense'' on the part of the herdsman, to pro- duct milk that will score 90 or above.
 The three samples of butter which scored off heavily, showed poor work manship, the tendency being to a mottled and gritty product. Sugges- tions were made to the makers, which are bound to tbring about improve ment if they are followed. One can accomplish wonderful improvement in the art of butter making, by following out established methods, and these butter scorings are even more valua- bIe to the butter maker than the milk scoring to the milk man.
 The next scoring will be held in May. In due season. entry and question blanks will be sent to all who have participated before, and to all mem bers of the Dairymen's assO- citation. Others should address Su- perintendent Milk and Butter Scoring, Sto-rs, Connecticut, for informa- tiOn.

Relief Funds.

When news finally comes-perhaps that his father is alive with his sister in the little village of Zamoste in southern Poland, but that she has consumption contracted from pesti- lence in the wake of war and he is without money to help her, or perhaps that his brother is a prisoner in an Austrian camp, or that his mother had died because she has no money for food-then the applicant is sent for and it is someone's task to tell him what word has been received.
 The news is almost always tragic That intense family feeling so Charac- teristic of the Jews becomes more than ever clear as the heart-broIen father or mother or son or daughter turns away from the desk and returns in a day or two asking how $50 or $75 can be safely sent abroad.
 These small amounts of money for relief are supplemented by money raised in energetic campaigns caFried on throughout this country to send to the six million Jews reported starving in the warning countries; SS,T5O,OOO has up to date been collected and sent to Jews in Russia. Galicia, Poland and Palestine, by the Jewish relief com mittee. Their first mass meeting in Carnegie Hall, New York city, brought in $8O0,0O0 in pledges and actual con tributions. Since then rallies all over the United States have raised the amount to where it now stands.
 Under the Joint Committee on Jew ish Relief, of which Felix Warbury is chairman. are two other comrait- tees: one the CeRtral Committee working for funds among the syna- gogues, and the other, the Peoples Relief Committee. The latter branch co-operates with the trade unions and solicits from business people. The woman's auxiliary of this committee. with Mrs. Philip LewisOhn as chair man, has planned a series of tag days to gather money.
 To keep alive the two and one-half million Jews in the 20 Russian prov inces under the care of the Jewish Colonization Society in PetrOgrad, it is estimated that 62O,oOO roubles per month is needed.
 While the money is being used .pri- marily to buy bread, it is being spent also, 1t is declared, to rebuild schools. In these schools children will be clothed and fed. and distracted as far as possible from the misery in which they are growing up. Where armies have fought and passed on as in Ga licia, some of the money is going for rehabilitation.
