for 10 plates of soup it is quite likely that very little of it will be prepared this summer even in the most lavish and bountiful of southern kitchens. There are so many other ways of making use of chickens that give more nourishment that one would hesitate in dedicating one sim ply to the soup course The old idea was to fry the chicken, with small piece of ham and about four cups of cut-up okra in a large tablespoon of lard. Two quarts of water were then added and the chick en was boiled for about two hours. To- matoes were then sliced and with the cleaned crabs were added to the soup pot which was allowed to boil for 20 minutes longer. Oysters, shrimps or even veal might be substituted for the crabs. Now that the food stringency would make us feel that this rule for chicken gumbo was very extravagant we might make a very satisfactory substitute by beginning with a good chicken stock made by boiling the bones of chicken and adding to it gravy that might have been left from the fri, casseed chicken. The gumbo and ham could be fried and added to this chicken stock and then the tomatoes and possibly the shrimps, or veal as well. The soup should be allowed to cool so that all grease can be removed before being served.

Big Charlie Meyer Who Radates Cheer Tourists in Los Angeles From All His 327 Pounds, Found His
 Theology Too Strong for Texas
By ZOE BEcKLEY

Los Angeles, July 12.-(special)-The are S27 pounds of Charlie Meyer. Char. lies smile is one of Los Angeles scenic features, It is located part of the time at the corner of Fifth and Hill streets where it lures sightseers into an enor- nous rubberneck wagon over which Charlie presides as lecturer.
 When there are no tourists yearning for a sight of the heavenly Busch gar dens in Pasadena or trip to the beaches. Charlie just sort of stands around and thinks, He has solved ev- erything in the universe, including Billy Sunday and the war And they are the most unaccountable things know of.
 I got acquainted with Charlie by talk ing ride in his coach. Whenever the scenery got the least bit dull MT Meyer irrigated it with jokes, philosophy and jets of interesting information.
 Charlie is California climate trans lated into human being He is what the boosters here claim the climate to be-sunny 36O days in the year; breezy, with the the tang of the sea- and the crispness of the mountains; mild gener- ous, mellow and stimulating.
 In Charlie is blended the same inter- national mixture that makes California He has the imagination and poesy of the Latin, the solidity of the Anglo-Saxon, the wit of the Irish, the ineorrigible optimism of the American, and the gift of gab of them all put together.
 IMPORTED FROM EAST
 The map of Texas is stamped all over Charlie I. Meyer from the top of his blond head to the soles of his number tWelves. He halls from the cattle coun- try and looks it. Roping steers, busting bronchos and perfecting his talent for handling two guns at once were Charles chief pursuits up to the age of Is, when his higher education began.
 I'm right glad now that I did learn to read" MT. Meyer acknowledged one day when we were exchanging confi-

After Talk With Mrs. Neil R. Wallace President of Housewives League of Birmingham Dolly Says This
 Organization Is One of Wars Best By-Products

 cate women; to organize them
 into a work which will do away with
 the high cost of living, and to teach
 them that short weights and light meas
 ures are not so much the fault of the
 groceryman and the ice man and the
 market man as their own"
 In nutshell, this is what Mrs Neil R. ] Wallace, the efficient and capable pres 1 ident of the Housewives league of Bir- 1 mignham, which is branch of the Ma | tional Housewives league Cn other words a movement for federation of l housewives), said yesterday in answer to the question of just what this or ganization stands for,
 The purpose of the organization is ed ucational, defensive and constructive; is desirous of showing the wasteful housewives the error of their ways; to demonstrate that the chaotic condition of market values is largely their fault, and to prove that in the ma tier of home economies the American woman is waster, thriftless and careless.
 There is no use "white-washing," as
 
 keepers should be scolded and taught, and my impression after chatting with Mrs. Wallace on the subject is that the National Housewives league m Ameri- ca (and it has spread all over the United States rapidly, Alabama and few other southern states being the only ones which have not long ago joined flourish ing leagues to their crediD is one of the best by-products of the war.
 ba 1aopr ha well organized and sure of itself,' Mrs. Wallace said, this registration business that We are now in the midst of would have been entirely unnecessary; if the housewives of America had been on the job, so to speak, Mr. Hoover would not have had to start all over, as he Is doing now, enlisting the women in the work of food conservation"
 Just near the Christmas season last year." Mrs Wallace said, Mrs w. E. Fort and Mrs. J. B. Wood approached me on the subject of an organizat ton of the Housewives league of Birming- ham. Owing to the confusion and eX- citement incident to the holiday season, little was done, but just afterward we met and decided to follow up the work and organized a league. Mrs. John Sidney White was made president and I accepted the position of vice president but later Mrs. White, on account of i'll health, resigned and I found myself at the head of the work. I also found that 1t was small work. Today In | We have 400 or more mem | bers. We have an organized branch at l Ensley of over 200. Next week we are | branches at Woodlawn, East l Lake, West End-in fact. all over the | Greater Birmingham district. The work | covers a large area; it is comprehensive l and thorough and the leagues want to l be of real benefit to the women of the | Greater Birmingham district. I would | especially emphasize the spelndid work | which is being done by the Ensley | branch. This branch is only one month | old, but in that time besides other ac- | tivities, it has established community |

Another thing, the housekeepers of Birmingham suffer terribly under the strain of short weights and light meas ures," Mrs. Wallace said. There is no reason for this; it is simply carelessness on the part of the housekeeper; she should refuse to take short weights from the groceryman, the ice man, the mar ket man and the rest; if she doesn't care enough about expenses to look into these things, they will never be remedied; that's the whole thing in a nutshell"
 "I would like to say in Birmingham s favor" Mrs. Wallace observed, that the Housewives league here is the only one in the state, and it is a tremendous fac tor; 1t is doing a big work; it is cer- tainly interesting, a large number of women and the results accomplished are being shown daily. The pressing needs of the hour, this war time hour. are sufficient to make the women of this country meet the situation and in serv- ing their country they are serving them selves and if they stand shoulder to shoulder they will undoubtedly reduce the cost of living to an efficient basis successfully meeting the economic strug- ble which is predicted to follow the end of the war"

German Harvests Are
 to Be Below Average

Copenhagen, July 12.-At the Reich stag session yesterday Herr Won Ba- tocki, the food controller. declared that the fruit and vegetable harvest was far below the average, Berlin newspapers report. The outlook for grain production was characterized as being "as good as in 1915" which will be remembered as year of great drouth and miserable grain harvest and potato crop. The yield. the con- troller said would be Surely better than the serious crop failure of 191o.'
 Gustav Hoch. socialist member of the Reichstag. spoke of disorders in the Prussian town of Striegau, which have not been mentioned previously. He said they were due to the fact that Striegau had been almost an entire week without bread. Women who had thus been driven to desperation were punished most severely, some of them being condemned to serve many months in prison.

cooperative canning club and is turning
 out 800 cans day. Last week the can ming demonstration in Ensley was at
 tended by 700 women. Doesn't that
 speak well for their interest,""
 Tn the first place. the league wants to teach women how to keep house." Mrs. Wallace said. T mean by that how to buy judiciously for the table; to trade with the merchant who does business on cash basis for right there much is saved that otherwise would be wasted. Take the housekeeper, for instance, who telephones her orders in, and doesn't do it systematically; a groceryman must send his automobile delivery service out to her house or his messengers several times day if she isn't methodical and accurate about ordering; this means an immense expense to the groceryman and somebody must pay for it, and it is the housekeeper, of course. One groceryman told me of a woman in Birmingham who phoned in 23 different orders in one day, varying from 10 cents to maybe g cents, and his delivery wagon had to make 23 trips to her house; that isn't any way to keep house, as we all know and should be corrected by those who labor under the impression that it is.'

THE HOUSEHOLD EDITED By ANNE RITTENHOUSE
DO YOU USE OKRA?

Although okra is usually not difficult
 to procure at this time of year, there are
 good many women who forget to order
 it or who actually are not familiar with
 this vegetable. It has a flavor all it's
 own and is usually much appreciated by
 connoisseurs. Surely it is worth includ-
 ing on your list of vegetables, if for noth- ing else than for variety.
 Any kind of vegetable that combines well in a salad is welcome in warm weather and okra makes delicious salad
 The young pods should be boiled till ten
 der, but not till they have become broken. Much depends on their being very cold. They should be well drained and put near the ice till they are wanted- Just before serving dress with French dressing Ar range two pods on each plate of lettuce and, if desired, have French dressing passed with them.
 Okra with Rice: Okra combines very delciously with rice and if you are in search for dishes that will do as a sub stitute for meat in warm weather concucr dish containing rice and okra-the rice to give nourishment and the olxra to give flavor. A very good baked dish is made by using rice okra and tomatoes, ar
 ranged in layers in a baking dish and flavored with salt pepper and butter and baked
 For Winter Use: Now that there has been
 so much talk about drying every sort of vegetable that we can for winter use we
 might dry some okra to advantage. It IS very simple matter and requires no
 special skill. It is best to have the very
 young pods They should be dried in the
 sunshine on trays or frames and when perfectly free from surface moisture they should be strung together on stout thread and hung away in some dust free place for the winter? If 1t is impossible to keep them from dust in this Way, when they are perfectly dry put the dried pods in paper bags and seal them securely and place in cool, dry place.
 Chicken Gumbo: The famous old-fash-
 toned Creole chicken gumho was far from an inexpensive dish and as it requires a whole chicken and some 10 crabs and nu
 merous other delicacies to make enough
