New York, June 21-That the mob.
1l1zation of a great army of men and
women in the industries to serve the
nation in war requires efficient ma

declaration made in the second Spe-
cial Bulletin on Labor Laws in War
Time" just issued by the American
Association for Labor Legislation.
AS men go to the front from in
dustrial pursuits, those remaining

bers, the need becomes even more
pressing for protective measures"
Equal pay for -quaI work without
discrimination as to sex is urged.

men should receive the pay OF men,"
according to the bulletin. Accept

years Of struggle, should not be I'M

Do CLOTHES GIVE
YOUNG WOMEN JOY

]. K. writes: Do you think it is
right for a girl to he enticed by dainty
frocks, Just little different, and nicer
than others, that the fair sex may
have on If hers are simply made at
home? Bloomer dresses for indoor
working do AWAY with petticoats. Also
they eliminate nagging words from
elder sisters, or aunts. "Sit up
straight. Pull down your skirts even
with hem of dress Do clothes simply
fashioned, give young women joy?"
They are important, valuable aids
to young women smart enough to ply
the needle in odd times in putting
lclothes becomingly together at cost
of attractive, inexpensive material.
Girls are pleased with becoming frocks
they learn to fashion. Young men ad-
mire their taste and it is the means of
more match making, than their elders

GIRLS WHO ARE IN MEN JOBS
Let us then be UP and doing,
With a heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to laibor-and to wait.

The girls who must be Sef-Support-
ing, are wondering whether or not II
would be worth while in the end to
undertake the jobs which the young
men have thrown up at the call OF the
colors. The announcement that young
women are needed, and the high wages
that are to he paid is very alluring. 1t
isn't every girl who can jump into a
vacant place and make good. Every
one knows that unskfl1ed labor will

thinks ahead and is anxious to make
time tell, knows that lie a man has to
begin at the foot of the ladder, to learn
the routine of a particular trade, girl
must follow in the same steps She
reclons that it will take years to be-
come proficient in any branch. Now
then, if she works during the day, and
studies in school, or shop at might,
thoroughly mastering the mans job
which she has taken, the query is
forced upon her mind, how long will
she be able to hold on to her new line
of work when the man who threw it
over comes back and is ready to buckle
down to it again.
There has always been a disposition
to pay men more than women, for the
same work, and to consider a mans
ability superior to that of "a woman.
For that reason when the men come
a.bck the girls will be ousted. The
world will applaud the reinstatement
of the man. After giving up the best
years OF her life, to learn a business
which no longer has an open door for
her, which way will a girl turn, to gain
support? Her heart will not be in her
work if she has to accept eight dollars
a week at any of the women's posi-
tions when her pay envelope for a
mans job netted her eighteen per
week.
It isn't every girl who will be willing
to marry, and let George do the sup
porting, even with the knowledge that
nSarriageaible men will be scarcer than
they are now. One wonders, too,
neither men will consider girls quite as

Red Cross Has Business AS
Well AS Humanitarian Side

The big drive for Red Cross funds
has been promoted largely on the
basis of humanitarian motives. It
has been entitled on these consider
ations to every dollar it can raise
and far more. But that does not
cover the whole story. The proper
care of our wounded and sick is a
business investment for the coun-
try.
The, human losses of war are dou-
bled by the lack of adequate medical
facilities. The fatalities of the Civil
War and the Spanish War were enor-
mously increased by disease and lack
of modern treatment Of wounds. It
was in the Russo-Japanese War that
the armies first began to gain a new
reinforcement by correct treatment
of their wounded.
The fighting powers of Europe look
at their wounded not merely from
the viewpoint of humanitarianism
They recognize in these disabled meI
potential fighting force of great
strength. The vast majority of then
are saved through good medicine and
surgery.
A big proportion find their wa.

gaps to be filed. More nurses, NOR

The families who are sending thei
own boys to the trenches keenly re
alize this. There will be no stin

circles. The business world shout

SUN DANCE OF THE
SHOSHONI INDIANS

When the sun has gained its highest
point that is on June %, which ushers
in the summer, the Shoshoni Indians
hold theirs I'm dance. This dance has
been the subject of many protests,
fbut still the Indians hold lit their only
concession being to change the name
to "san dance OF t'lhalf dance,' in
that manner hoping to deceive its OPP
ponents. At the appointed time the
tribe gathers at some selected spot.
A circular space is cleared and in the
cented is placed a long, forked post.
This post is the object of the most
elaborate ceremonies. being bathed in
holy water and being dedicated or
|consecrated to the sun. 1t is sup
posed to embody the Great Spirit and
to contain the essence of that deity
sufficiently to cure all human ills or
confer any favor. The arena encircling
the sacred post is enclosed with
branches of trees and only those par
ticipating in the dance are allowed in.
side. The dance begins with due cere-
mony. It is a. wild, wierd and fascf-
mating performance, and orgie in
which nearly naked Indians for three
days and nights without cessation,
without food or water, dance in mute
Isupplication to the long forked post.
Through 1t all rises the doleful chant
of singers, the dull humping Of a re-
lay of drums and the shrill whistle Of
the dancers. "A traveller several years
ago witnessed this dance, which white
men have rarely been fortunate
enough to attend. This traveller saw
one of the dancers, already in a
weakened condition from long illness
die from exposure and exhaustion on
the second day OF the ceremony, and
he died in the firm belief. that the per-
forTnance in which he was engaged
would restore hdm to health. Several
strong men collapsed the third Nday
and were carried from the enclosed
circle in a dying condition. The dane
ers whose physical strength enables
them to endure the terrible strain of
72 hours of continuous dancing, be-
kcorne heroes in tho tribe and are sup
posed to have ptlrged themselves of
all ills and misfortunes. They are
greatly envied by the Indians whose
powers of endurance are limited. The
dance never lacks participants and
this, 1T is said, is due to the fact that
the Shoshoni Indians, like all other
human beings, are fond of hero wor-
ship.

ToDAY's ANNIVERSARIES.

Johann Huss, the Bohemian clergy

Potatoes

The skin of the potato contains the
most valuable mineral elements, and
if possible it should be cooked so that
these are saved
IF the potatoes are washed and then
without pairing or soaking are put on
to cook in boiling water there is very
little loss of food material. The same
is true when potatoes are baked or
steamed.
Potatoes baked in a slow oven are
soggy and are not as wholesome as
those baked in hot oven. The fol-

Apples

In both Brazil and Argentina the
American apple is supreme in the
high-c1ass trade, as it is in all parts
of the world, and it's sale is limited
only by the number of people who are
able to pay the rather high prices
asked for it. The American pear is
well liked in Brazil and
sells well; also, in Argentina. In
Brazil apples and pears appeal to
consumers in much the same manner
that tropical fruits appeal to Ameri-
cans, but in Argentina, where the eli
ate in the main closely resembles that
Of the United States, American fruits
of this description sell for two entire
ly different reasons, first because they
come during the off season for the
native and New Zealand fruit, and
second because Of their unquestion-

Vegetable Stew

1 cup each of carrots and celery, 2-3

cept potatoes in IL cup fat until a
delicate brown. Add salt and pepper
and two quarts of boiling water. Add
the potatoes 20 minutes before the

usually thicken the stew sufficiently,
burt flour may be added ten minutes

Strawberry Sauce.

A sauce of crushed Strawberries al
ways adds immensely to any short
cake or tart in which raw strawber-
ries are used. When preparing such
a dish look over the Strawberries
carefully and save the smaller ones
for this sauce. They are quite as good
as the larger ones for this purpose as
their flavor is unimpaired, but the
big berries lookNf far better in the tart
or shortcake than the small ones.
