women will talo them in hand and
, solve the problem.
Interested crowds Of eager women
and school girls met the train al every
stop. Two 10 six or seven hundred
strong, they were composed OF the rep
resentative women of each community,
none of whom came away from the
train disappointed The tour was the
fulfilment of an excellent idea in a
good cause
As Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt. ir., when
asked what she thought of the work
accomplished, tersely remarked:
There is really nothing 10 be said on
the subject. Results will speak for
themselves"
Idea Originated by l.. I. II. II. Head
By far the most satisfied of all is
President Ralph Peters Of the Long
Island Railroad. He originated the
idea-frst as train of thought which
later evolved into the canning special.
When asked by The Tribune's Long
Island correspondent what he thought
of the result of the trip, he said:
81 am very busy and have only a
minute in which 20 express my views.
! know what the results are, for this
budget tells me-" With that remark
he picked up several letters he had re-
ceived from different women on Long
Island expressing their Endorsement OF
the tour. One was from Mrs. John
Paris. chairman Of the Garden Club of
Flushing.
"On all sides hear praise and in
terest expressed" President Peters
continued. 81 feel that ! am fully re
paid for the effort involved. without
mentioning the name of the railroad, |
will state that have received letter
from the director of one of them re-
questing me to send a detailed account
of the plan of our tour so that they
can send a similar train through the
territory they traverse. That speaks
best for results. You know what is
said about imitation" President Peters
questioned laughingly. Seriously
speaking" he concluded, such requests
show that the work is really in its in
fancy, and that there is no reason why
it should not result in countrywide
canning campaign"
Mrs. Laimbeer was equally enthusi-
astc. When asked il the trip had not
tired her, she said:
"No-I love TO talk and have had the
opportunity for five days. Talking and
being amused by the questions asked
kept ones interest alive. Our canning
special has been a pioneer train, and
it will be interesting to watch results
which as yet cannot really be gagged"
Mrs. John b. Wolff, of Hampstead,
expressed similar views and every one
feels that the canning special has
ploughed the way for the greatest
preservation Of food supplies this coun-
try has ever known.
Canning Kitchens Started
An interesting result of the work is
shown in the movement TO start can
ming kitchens in the various towns OF
Long Island. her letter to Presi-
dent Peters. Mrs. Paris, of Flushing,
said that a Kitchen would be started in
connection with the Garden Club.
On the day the train visited Great
Neck the announcement Of the organi-
zation of kitchen there was made by
Mrs. Fullerton, of the canning special.
The organization meeting was held
Tuesday last. The kitchen is under the
direction of Mrs. A. +. Keays, Mrs. A.
S. Dwight and Mrs. j. c. Baker.
For some sine past we have been
working on the plans for the organlza-
ton of kitchen" Mrs. Keays said.

basis. Our object is TO organize IN
teams consisting of ten members each,

Of efficiency
Originality is the keynote OF the ser
vice work which is being done. and the
many and interesting methods when

of the various societies in the different
towns are worthy OF note.
