The HouseUife,s Apron Can Be Worthy Uniform, Statement Of Houston
Secretary of Agriculture Tells Women of Country They Can Serve by Making Economy Fashion able Before It Becomes Obligatory Save
 Everything in Home, Warning Given

Washington, May 5.-In an appeal to- day "to the women of the United States. '' Secretary Houston declares that they can do their bit" most effectually in the national emergency by practicing thrift in their households.
 The appeal was prompted by many re- quests for statement as to the service women can render the nation in the di- rection of producing and conserving az ricultural products.
 Every woman can render important service to the nation in it's present emergency" says the appeal She need not leave her. home or abandon her home duties to help the armed forces. She can help to feed and clothe our armies and help to supply food to those beyond the seas by practicing effective thrift in her own household
 Every ounce of food the housewife saves from being wasted in her home all food which she or her children pro- duce in the garden, and can or preserve. every garment which care and skilIful repair make it unnecessary to replace all lessen that households S draft on the world supply.
 MUST LEARN TO PLAN '
 To save food the housewife must learn to plan economical and properly meals which, while nourishing each member of the family properly, do not encourage overeating or offer excess slve and wasteful variety. She must ac- qulre the culinary ability to utilize every bit of edible food that comes into her home. She must learn to use such foods as vegetables, beans, peas and milk prod ucts as partial substitutes for meats. She must make it her business to see that nothing nutritious is thrown away or allowed to be wasted.
 Waste in any individual household may seem to be insignificant, but if only a single ounce of edible food, on the average, is allowed to spoil or be thrown away in each of our 20,000,0O homes, over l,3OO.0o0 pounds of material would be wasted each day. It takes the fruit of many acres and the work of many peo- pie to raise. prepare and distribute 464,-

 With the British Armies in France, May 5,-(via London )-Activity during the past 24 hours seems to have cen tered principally about Bullecourt, where lighting amid the ruins of what was once that village has been going on contin- uously since Thursday.
 Bullecourt straddles the Hindenburg line west of Queant. The fighting has been difficult at times, but the British are slowly but steadily blasting their way forward with bombs, aided, of course, by the constant play of massed artillery.
 The airpianes still are revelling like spring birds in days of golden sunshine and constantly are adding most pie turesque incidents to the fighting records. It is possible of course, to record only a few of their many exploits. For ex- ample, there is the story of British pilot who yesterday attacked an enemy machine 10 miles over the German lines and immediately was set upon by three hostile machines. The Britisher however, pursued his original prey until he saw him crash to the ground from height of 1000 feet. He then turned westward but saw that he could not force his way through the three German fighting ma- chimes who were awaiting him. There upon he decided to practice bit of de- ception and pretended to land. The three hostile machines proceeded to do the same, so as to make him prisoner. Just as soon, however, as the British flyer saw his adversaries touch the ground he started his engine and flew away to his home station.
 The startled Germans also got under way after some delay and began pur- suit. They could not overtake him, how ever and as he neared the British lines they were driven back by a heavy fire from the British trenches.
 The young British pilot who "sat over Cambraf'' several days ago and watched six German airplanes climbing toward him, then fought them and escaped, and who believes he will never be killed, had a Very narrow squeak few days later It came after day of excellent hunting.

 He had to wait sometime but finally another two-seater albatross came into view He started in pursuit, but the hos tile machine immediately put its nose down and fled. The British pilot also put nose down and fled after him.
 When about 300 feet from the ground. however. the British scouts machine was hit by an anti-aircraft high explosive shell. All the controls with the exception of one part of the elevators, were shot away and the body of the machine se- verely damaged
 The force of the explosion was such that the machine got into a spin. Spins are dangerous at any time, but when so close to the ground they are generally

OO0,oO0 pounds of food year. Every ounce of food thrown away, therefore, tends also to waste the labor of an army Of busy citizens.
 QUESTION OF CLOTHING
 Clothing is largely an agricultural product and represents the results of labor on the sheep ranges, in cotton fields and in mills and factories When ever useful garment is needlessy dis carded material needed to keep some one warm or dry may be consumed merely to gratify passing fancy Women would do well to look upon clothing at this time more particularly from the utilitarian point of view.
 Leather, too, is scarce and the proper shoeing of armies calls for great sup plies of this material. There are only so many pairs of shoes in each hide, and there is a shortage of animals for leather as well as for meat. Anything that can be done to encourage adults or children to take, care of their shoes and make them last longer means that so much more leather is made available for other purposes
 EMPLOYED WOMEN
 Employed women, especially those engaged in the manufacture of food or clothing, directly serve their coun- try and should put into their tasks the enthusiasm and energy the importance Of their product warrants.
 While all honor is due to the worn en who leave their homes to nurse and care for those wounded in battle, no women should feel that because sla does not wear a nurses uniform she is absolved from patriotic service. The nome women of the country, if they will give their minds fully to this vita. subject of food conservation and train themselves in household thrift cAn make of the housewifes apron a uri- form of national significance.

 Explains Reasons for Wanting saxons

Paul Crawford, one of the best known automobile dealer in the state has taken the agency for Alabama for Saxon cars, according to an announcement made last night by E. R. Parker, district sales manager of the Saxon Motor Car cor poration of Detroit, Mich, who came to Birmingham to close the deal with MT. Crawford
 T am very much gratified that we are able to secure MT. Crawford to take charge of the sales of Saxon cars in Ala bama. spent sometime in reaching the conclusion that he was the best man to push Saxon cars, but after careful in- vestigaton I am sure that We have made to our company, and most agreeable and pleasant to Saxon owners and future owners, and l am sure that the latter will increase rapidly under MT. Craw- ford's direction, said Mir Parker.
 T am going to send an expert mechanic here immediately from our factory to take charge of MT. Crawford's service department for Saxon cars and he will install full line of Saxon parts which he will keep on hand at all times for the benefit of the many Saxon owners here now and those who are to soon buy this 100 per cent car" concluded MT Parker.
 CONVINCED BY SAXON
 Mr. Crawford, being an exper. m auto- mobile values, has made a study of the Saxon car and formed the opinion that it Is the best car on the market selling under $1000 The fact that there are hundreds of Saxons in Birmingham and this immediate territory now, all giving perfect satisfaction. aided Mr Ora M ford
