DRESS NOTES

The tunic fashion. united to the
blouse. is specially useful for children.
One mother is making little mauve
and butcher blue, rose pink and pale
tan cotton crepe and easement cloth
slip-on blOuses which are practically
tunics as well as corsages. and are
very adaptable to skirts Of last year,
the first freshness Of which has been
Outworn.
The satchel coat and the satchel
frock are two Of the most useful pro-
auctions Of the year. because pockets
of this shape are really practical. They
are always slung upon the belt and
have safe fastenings. One girl has
made two or three to he worn with
one-coat frock. No valuable time was
wasted In making these belts. for they
were contnved out Of pieces of EN-
broidery on hand and in one case OF
fooled leather.

keep FOOD FROM GOING TO Waste

part Of the state and small surplus
of vegetables on the farms.
Canning and drying in the homes
show large increase in Ohio, where
vigorous campaign has been carried
on. Illinois reports extraordinary &C
tivities in canning and preserving, but
there the fruit Is well taken care of.
Indiana has a large surplus in both
vegetables and fruit, and more demon
stratiOn help is needed. The garden
SURPRISES in Michigan are large and
much greater effort must be made to
take care of them, a report says. Wis
consin and Minnesota declare that help
Is needed in demonstration work. One
or more food conservation meetings in
every township in Iowa will be held
to urge housewives to care for a large
surplus of vegetables and fruit.
Big Increase Reported.
A 100 per cent increase in garden
crops is reported from Nebraska and
large surplus is expected. Large
crops of vegetables also are reported
from South Dakot.. while in Kansas
the amount of fruits and vegetables
has been reduced somewhat by dry
weather.
In most of the Southern states the
height of the vegetable season has
passed, but North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky vegetables and fruits
are plentiful and unusual efforts are
being made by workers In each state
to save the SURPRISES.
Large crops of fruits and vegetables
are coming on in the Western states.
but with the exception of California.
inadequate facilities and equipment
are hndering canning and drying oper-
ations. In Utah big foOd-conserva-
ton campaign is on, backed by many
organizations. To meet the shortage
of equipment, go steam Gamers are
being distributed. as is also much dry
ing apparatus. Twelve field workers
are demonstrating, but Is more are
needed.
If canning and drying facilities
were available, Washington could save
| 10000 additional cars of fruit. The
prospective large surplus of fruits and
vegetables in Oregon Is being reduced
by dry weather, making ii increasingly
| important to save all that Is produced.
Much of the surplus Of perishables in
Arizona is in danger Of being wasted
on account of the inadequate canning
and drying facilities. Demonstrators
and equipment are needed. the report
from that state says. Many others
of the Western states declare they
lack sufficient funds and help, and ask
Tor federal aid.

TO DEFENCE OF NATION

generally concede. Military men VINO
have studied the problem state that as
many as can be expected are coming
forward. Too much emphasis cannot
be laid upon this activity at the pres
ent time. il is said, however. Repors
from some states are meager ana In
some instances discOuraging. Some or
the governors have been very active In
bringing home to young men the rea-
sons why they should respond to the
call of the country and showing them,
by proclamations. by speeches and pic
lures. the necessity for responding to
call to arms.
The full quota for the expanded reg
ular army has not been reached. and
many more recruits can be taken.
Therefore II is urged that all local
councils Of defense concentrate efforts
upon this work. The first-line men OF
the regular army. the navy and Ma
tional Guard should be volunteers, 1t
is said. Therefore the comparatively
few thousands still needed. as COM
pared with the immense population OF
the nation and the great armies OF
drafted men who will be called into
training soon. should be easily OBJ

properly explained to them why they
should enlist.
Merchant Seamen Sought.
Naval classes are being organized In
several states and encouragement CIV
en- young men to attend nautical
schools, so as to be the better prepared
to take their places on the fast grow
ing merch. mt fleet of the United States.
Illinois and Massachusetts report ex-
cellent progress In such branches or
the national service. So popular is the
study in Chicago that night school
has been opened. Glasses are organ
lied into crews and given training in
navigation. gunnery, signaling, radio
marine engines and first aid. The Chi
cago Yacht club will provide means for
practical work on Lake Michigan this
summer for hundreds of such crews.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island
have gone further than some of the
others and prepared for possible,
though very improbable. eventualities.
Those states-and it is reported others
are now falling in line-have listed
and enrolled automobiles and auto
trucks that can be called upon for i'm

one parts of the state TO ANOTHER IL
railroads should for any reason be put
out Of commission and 1t be found i'm
perative to transport troops and sup
plies in record time.
Rhode Island has undertaken also
to keep its state and municipal employ
ees on the pay roll while in the mill
tary service. New Hampshire and
Michigan have passed statutes to pro-
vide for the dependents Of soldiers and
sailors. and in New Hampshire plan
has been adopted for conserving the
practice of physicians and dentists who
enter military service.

WashingtOn.-In order to avoid
waste of surplus fruits and vegetables
and conserve the food supply, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston asks
mothers and daughters" of every
state to organize and expend all avail
able energy in. canning, preserving,
picking. drying and storing these prod
ucts for local consumption.
Secretary Houston Is of the firm be-
lief that this problem may best be
solved locally. No federal or state
government, he believes, can do any
thing unless women in every city and
town do what they can to help.
The woman who has no garden is
asked to purchase full supplies for
her own immediate and future use.
Telegraphic reports from "a states
which are in distress were made public
by Secretary Houston, showing that
large SURPRISES of food will go to
waste unless women act Immediately.
The states particularly affected are
Arizona, Colorado. Connecticut, Idaho,
Indiana, Iowa. Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, Nebraska. New Hampshire,
New Jersey. New York. North Caro-
lima. Pennsylvania. Rhode Island, South
Dakota. Tennessee. Utah, Vermont.

pluses of vegetables are reported. Ex-
ceptional yields of fruits and vege-
tables are promised in Rhode Island,
and the state demonstration leader
there reports hundreds of requests for
demonstrations In canning and drying
which II cannot meet with its present
corps of workers. Vermont, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut all declare
that help is needed to carry out their
programs of instruction.
New York has large surplus of
vegetables, and, according to the state
leader. extraordinary efforts to pro-
mote home and community food preser-
walton in the next few weeks will be
necessary TO handle the situation. The
situation in New Jersey is reported as
serious by reason Of an unusually high
acreage and consequent large surplus
