WOMEN EMPLOYES ON NEW HAVEN
Fair Sex Found Capable in Many Positions Occupied by Men

New York, Nov. 14.-War was de- clared by the United States on April 6, 1917. During the past seven months women all over the country have taken some of the places of the men who have gone into various branches of the country's service.
 The labor supply. especially on rail- roads, is a matter to which managers have boen giving serious consideration Tor over a year. The situation is
 lowing quite acute with the result TT women have been employed in S,as departments of railroad work
 sn heretofore men were exclusive ak1aployed.
 I krht hundred and ninety-three mn have left the employ of the New Haven to voluntarily enter the serv- ice of the country. This number does not include the men enrolled in the National Army.
 The New Haven recently distributed a bulletin announcing that its age limit for the employment of men had been raised The age limit for It's op- erAtinR department had been 21 to 35 years; but now, under the new plan. for hremen, it IS IS to 46 years; for trainmen, IS to 50 years; and for other employees, IS to 60 years.
 The railroads have lost many men through the operation of the draft law. but more through voluntary en- listment, particularly in the En- gineers' Railway Regiments. From the New Haven alone, two companies were formed-E and F, of the 14th Regtment-about $50 men, who are now in France.
 Women have for many years been employed ih clerical work in railroad ofices, but their sphere has now widened from that of stenography typewriting and filing of letters to in clude many of the lighter forms of actual railrord work, both inside and out
 Labor must be conserved. and tc this end the railroads, through re- adjustments and re-assignments, arc placing so far as they can, each labor unit where its energies will be d. racted to greatest advantage.
 On the New Haven road were some of the nrst--~if, indeed. not the first 1Q,nAlo crossing tenders. Mrs Harrie Hartley and Mrs. Alice A. Hardy

 Dudley Field Malone of New York, personal counsel for Miss Alice Paul, who is serving a seVen-month sen- tence and being forcibly fed in the District of Columbia jail had a con ference with his client today. Miss Rose Winslow, another suffragist, is also on a hunger strike and is being fed by force. Speaking of his visit, MT. Malone said:
 Miss Paul and Miss Winslow both are very weak and are being fOrcibly fed. They are resisting food as protest against the failure of the gov ernment to treat as political offenders women who are arrested for demand ing the passage of the Federal suf- frage amendment
 1T was shocked to find that Miss Paul, because she was the leader of the National Woman's Party, had been l singled out from among the other suffragists and transferred to the psy- ! chopathic ward, in spite of her de- l mand first to see her personal phy- /; sician and her attorney
 I Miss Paul is imprisoned in a room Tn the midst of insane patients, whose shrleks she can hear day and night. For fear she may not hear them the door of her room has been taken off. One of the windows has been board ed up with heavy wooden shutters. l and the other one cannot be opened to let in air. so that most of the air must come from the inside halls of the building. Against her protests, alienists have repeatedly been sent to interview Miss Paul and have even l brought with them a stenographer to take down what she says.
 "I talked With Miss Paul for an hour and a half, and she is more sane than any of the administration of- ficials who have been responsible for this outrage. I demanded of the warden that this malicious attempt to discredit Miss PauPs leadership and to reflect on her sanity in placing her in the psychopathic ward, surround ed by maniacs, cease at once, and that she be removed forthwith If this is not done. I shall appeal to the court for relief from this unspeakable sit l uation.

Little alks on Thrift
By =. w. STRAUS.
President American Society for
Thrift.


The saving this nation will effect IL
just little economy is practiced by
each citizen will run into staggering
figures. For example, II just one slice
OF bread is saved In each American
home day II will mean the addition
OF 100000 acres OF cultivated wheat
land added TO our present productive
area.
Statisticians connected with the De-
partment OF Agriculture have figured
out that the average slice of bread
weighs an ounce. which means in the
a0.0oo.Oo0 homes in this country Il
daily average wastagc OF 1900. 900
ounces OF -four. or over 100000 one
pound loavcs OF bread. For d full
year at this rate there would he
waste OF over 3l9.000.000 pounds OF
flour--1.50o.o00 barrels of 1our-the
equivalent OF 365.000.0oO loavcs OF
bread. 1t takes 412 bushels OF wheat
to make a barrel OF ordinary -four.
Therefore. IL every home saves a slice
OF bread a day it will represent an
aggregate national saving OF 100000
bushels of wheat. or the crop OF APP
proximately 100000 acres.
1t also is pointed out that il one
half cup Of milk is wasted daily in
every American home. it means the
destruction Of 2.500.000a quarts day.
or sl5,500.000 quarts a year. This is
the product Of more than 400, 900 cows.
One might take other examples OF
waste with the same amazing results.
Bear in mind IL is the little things
that count. If the waste Of slice of
bread and half cup Of milk In every
American home a day means the sac
rifce Of 100000 COWS and 10000 acres
of land. the aggregate wastage in
meat cheese. fruit and vegetables must
be enormous.
Food is a big factor in this war.
and when much good can he ac
complished through the practice OF
these small instances Of economy in
every home. il is our patriotic duty
to see that they are not neglected.
Make up your mind to-day that you
will do your part in this respect. To
rifice. 1t simply means seeing that
and the half potato and the piece OF
meat are not deposited in the garbage
can.
The preservation Of meat in hot
weather is quite problem. When
meat for any reason must be kept a
long time, or when the conditions for
preserving II are unfavorable, the fol-
lowing plan may be followed to ad-
vantage: drop the meat into boiling
water for a few minutes. This will
not affect its flavor and will go long
way toward keeping 1t wholesome 1t
is important that il be dropped into
a large body of boiling water. II only
a small amount of water is used the
introduction of the meat will lower
the temperature to such an extent that
the whole process becomes worthless.

Pass the Food Bills.

IF it designed to put into immediate
l operation all tho drastic provisions of the
food control bill. the opposition that has dis
played itself still would be unreasonable, but
it would be comprehensive The ordinary
man in the street could understand il, though
he would not sympathize with it. 1t is true
that the powers this measure confers OH the
President are extraordinary, and that they
arc capable of unnecessary and oppressive
use. The actual danger Of such use, how
ever is negligible
1t is the law, expressing tho moral code
OF the people that brings obedience In
practice it is not found necessary to put
many persons TO death for murder or to
imprison large elements Of the popula ton for
arson and theft. The law itself, by its very
existence exercises lettering influence.
and the practical certainty of punishment for
violation helps further to keep men in the
straight and narrow path.
1t would be so with the food law The
government is not going to commander all
the food in the country or place in Jail every
citizen who buys or sells Il couple of bushels
OF wheat or potatoes. 1t will be known OF
all that heavy penalties are provided for
efforts to corner the market in any necessity
Of life and we venture the prediction that
such efforts will be few and far between
Herbert c. Hoover. who is to be intrustcd
by the President with the administration of
thiS and related measures, has announced
his program III advance. 1t is a program OF
cooperative effort He will endeavor he
has said, to obtain the ends sought by the
voluntary action Of the American people
with the power, always in the BACKGROUND
to enforce compliance with reasonable rcgu-
lations. His plan includes better system
of market reports. improved distributions
abandonment OF unnecessary transportation
OF food supplies. food census and stern
eye on the activities Of those gentry who
would make an unseemly profit from the suf-
lerings and the sacrifices of nation at war
Tho country is not impressed with the OBJ
jections certain Senators have offered to the
pending legislation. We have adopted con-
scription OF life war measure and con-
scription Of money also. The young man
is required TO offer his lifes blood and the
wealthy man to part with great proportion
OF his income. The handlers Of foods GER
tainly should not be exempt from the re-
Quirements Of patriotism
The people demand this legislation They
have confidence in the Prcsiden, and in Mr.
Hoover When bread is being sold cheaper
in Paris than it is in Richmond although
tho -four from which the bread is made is
being shipped from America TO France there
is something wrong. Mr. Hoover has
promised that he will reduce the high cost
OF living. There are reports that he expects
a reduction of 80 per cent. Ii he achieves
half OF this the country will be satisfied and
at the worst he can save consumers from
further and more oppressive extortions
Senators who oppose the pending bill will
have 10 answer to their constituents and de-
Tense of their course will be the hardest task
they have ever attempted

.Airplancs and Submarines

A MOTHER argument for the speedy estab-
\ lishment of great aerial force is sup
piled by the outcome of the fight between
the Moreni and the submarine that attacked
her. AS is made plain by accounts OF the
engagement, the submarine mounted long
range gun. probably a siX-inch rifle. With
such armament submarine can give battle
TO nearly every type OF armed ship. except
warship while its own small target sur
face gives it an advantage to counterweigh
its vulnerability. 1t is not likely that there
will he found a royal road to suppression OF
the submarines, but it is likely that airplanes
will prove highly efficient in combating their
activities.
