A Past Custom,

You, no doubt, have heard the term "baker's dozen." You have never re- ceived more than the usual twelve loaves for your money, though in oiden time you would surely have been given thirteen. In those days the law was very strict about shortages in weights and measures. The bakers were afraid that somehow they would not give full weight, so to be sure they got into the habit of giving thirteen loaves for the price of twelve. Thus 1t was that thir- teen came to be called the bakers dozen.

Rusty Ovens.

After using the gas oven leave the door of your oven open until the oven has become cold before closing the door This allows the steam that condenses and forms moisture on the inside of your oven to evaporate quickly, and this prevents your oven from rusting.

UNCLE SAM MAY TEACH
YOUNG WOMAN TYPISTS
Planning Business School to Meet
Shortage in Stenographers and
Typewriter Operators.

So great is the demand for stenog-
raphers and typists. both in federal
and private employment. that the gov
eminent contemplates opening a busi-
ness school of its own to give young
women intensive training in handling
the pencil and keys.
Scores of such employees are needed,
it was stated at the United States en-
ployment service at the Labor Depart
ment today. Many of them. however,
are lacking just a bit in the ability
which would qualify them for the best
positions.
Officials in charge of the District of
Columbia employment service, with Of
fees on the first floor of the Depart
ment of Labor building. are hoping to
be able to set into operation soon such
training school.
1t does not take long, with expert
guidance, to whip recruit" into good

letters on a typewriter keyboard, it is
declared. just this little difference in
training will in the great majority of
cases. 1t is believed. enable applicants
adequately to fill any of the wartime
positions now open.

Sending federal troops to Washington,

threatened l. W. w. strike attain serious
proportion and the civil authorities,
state and federal, in the affected area be
unable to meet the situation adequately.
The departments of Justice and Labor,
the board of mediation and Cancellation,

eminent agencies were studying with some
apprehension today the situation in the

to take Immediate steps to meet any de-
velopment.

absence of several days received reports
on the situation and began TO determine

Germans Led to Think

COPENHAGEN, August II. - The
Pope's peace proposal. according to a
Berlin dispatch. seems to have had a
friendly reception in the leading cir
cles in Germany, having fallen on care

Several of the newspapers report that
the pontiff had sounded out both belIig-

to their readers that the entente there

Vatican first getting in touch with

The newspaper pretends to know that
the note contains one material point
missing from the published summary,
namely, q pre-war economic rapproche-
ment.

with the Pope's peace offer to current
rumors of conference of hnanciers of

Germans Must Defeat
Allies in the West,
Claims Berlin Critic


COPENHAGEN. August 17.-Gen. Won
Ardenne. military critic of the Berlin
Tageblatt, warns the German military
leaders that they must bestir them
selves to find some strategic or tactical
means of winning a decisive victory on
the western front and of defeating
England, the soul of the hostile coali-
ton on land. Otherwise, he says, there
Is no hope of bringing the war to an
honorable end for Germany.
German leadership, Gen. Ardenne
maintains, always has been able TO
direct the campaign into new courses
when stagnation threatened, and he
adds that the Germans are entitled to
believe methods will be found to force
mighty England, through battles on
land. to seek peace.
The military critic intimates this
might be done by an attempt to over
wheim the French army, which he as
surnes liz weakened and discouraged, be-
fore the arrival of American assist
ance. which, he says. would leave Eng
land isolated.

An Important Feature.

The Giornale d'Italia says the CEN
trail empires will now be obliged 70 an
nounce their conditions of peace, which
the Pope will communicate 20 the al
lies An important feature Of the papal
note is that il is the FIRST document Of
the holy see addressed TO the Italian
government since the fall of temporal
power 1t is the FIRST document asking
Austria TO evacuate Italian territories
after the note of Plus TX addressed 60
the Emperor of Austria in lsfs. advising
him to return Italian provinces.
The Giornale DItalia expressed the
hope that the voice of the Pope urging
peace will be accompanied by the sound
of the cannon of the allies from Elan
ders to the Gulf of Triest, attacking
the enemy with renewed ardor.
Nobody can say that the Pope's
peace proposals aim at a German
peace" says the Tribuna, but one
must ask whether the Pope acted real
iy on his own initiative or through
suggestions and pressure from the cen
trail powers. Still. the conditions con-
tanned in the papal note certainly DO
not particularly favor the central en-
pires."
