"Why Don't They Eat Cake ?"

It has so long been the custom to jeer
at poor Marie Antoinette for her famous
contribution toward the solution OF the
food problem that it is shock, as well as
pleasure, to find the austere and coldly
intellectual economists Of the Women's
City Club coming round to her way Of
thinking. There isn't any cake in New
York City that is worthy of the name, or
we should look for an exact quotation
from the French food dictatress in the
pamphlet which has just been issued for
the guidance Of New York housewives. In
spite of this lack it is the most cheerful
bit Of war literature we have yet seen.
Beef and mutton are scarce; therefore
eat broiled chicken and roast duck. Onions
are scarce; therefore eat asparagus.
"Rich people who make their dinner of
lobster are good patriots. The rich man
who eats neck of mutton and bread is not" +"
This is a quotation from the Food Econ
omy Department of the Food Ministry OF
Great Britain, and therefore must have
the authority of great wisdom behind it.
Such unexpected bits of good cheer do
much to enliven the gloom in which we
have lived since the first man discovered
the high cost Of living. So long ms the
food experts continue to ram down our
throats such rations as lobster and straw
berry shortcake and caramel ice cream,
who will mourn for bread and onions?
There are signs, too, that the war, be-
sides removing the stigma of extrava-
gance from such really humble servitors
as the lobster and the Little Neck,
may remove the similar reproach Of in
tellectualism from the bean. Most New
Workers act on the theory that if they in
6ulge in baked beans they are in danger
of an acute attack Of Emersonianism.
There are few places in town where the
komesick Bostonian can drop in of Sat
urday night, confident OF a Steaming dark
brown plate which will in any way re-

Mrs. Pankhurst and the War
Her Vep Of Hon Can Best Be Organized Aid heu oouny
in a Reserve Army for Industrial Wort

RCD "a build as they went along with the ma
terisl AZ hand. There was little forethought
for the future. Had our original suggestions
been adopted the results might have been
far greater than now and many Of our pres
ent troubles would have been avoided
an fact. until the Ministry Of National
Service was set I'D, Just over three months
$50, there was no attempt at national or
ganization of women. Even that department
fell into the error, at the start OF calling Tor
..olunteers before the work and the jobs were
ready.
The whole aim Of women's organization
must be, as far as possible, 70 md for
particular job the right type OF women FOR
instance, my idea is that country women
should be employed on the land But, owing
TO our haphazard methods. find many wom-
en- with first class university degrees dong
farm work when they would be far better
employed in using their talents in the gov
eminent Offices. That kind of mistake should
and ought TO be avoided.
THE whole question. in nutshell, is hrst
10 enroll your women. Then CLASSIFY ac-
cording TO the work for which they are pest
fitted. Until you want them give them all
the training you can in schools. When you
are ready with a job-and not until you are
ready-call tnem up LOT setFIec' AA"'N ~"
many training schools. all over the country
as YOU like But never dampen enthusiasm
either by telling a woman she is not needed
or by keeping her waiting around.
"These are the simple facts which our ex-
perience has taught US. II the women OF
America wish to undertake war work they
can avoid our mistakes; moreover, they can
90 far better than we, because their position
is so much better than that of us BRITISH
women at the beginning of the war. while so
many more have been trained TO various occu-
pations.
There is not the slightest need to worry
about the social results of women going into
war work on a wholesale scale. To illustrate
this in a sentence-in the poorer parts OF the
country infantile mortality has decreased
largely since the outbreak Of war. Smulta-
neously the standard of comfort in homes OF
this class has greatly increased.
81 come from Lancashire. where more wom-
en- than men are employed in the cotton
mills. Those women used to say to ne: "A
shilling we earn is worth more than two
earned by the man. We are certain of 1t
and know where it is"
New-York tribune., 1917-06-13

London. June MAKE a register OF all
women ready TO work. Then set up training
classes all over the country. And finally,
most important of all, don't call up woman
until the job is ready and waiting for her.
These are the golden rules, according to
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the great suffrage
leader, for making the best use of women IN
war time. They are based on her experience
of the last three years.
"The United States" continued Mrs Pank-
hurst. ais in a position TO profit by our mis-
takes. Immediately after the war began my
organization. the Women's Social and Pollti-
cal Union. insisted that Britain must create
a reserve army OF women for industrial WORK
Later on We pressed the necessity OF diluting
the skilled labor of men by the unskilled
labor of women. II took some time for either
the government, the employers or the labor
unions to realize the truth of our contention.
81 do not wish TO speak Of any OF these
matters in spirit of criticism. | want
merely TO show how we have found out our
mistakes.
There came the time when the Ministry OF
Munitions was called into being and the
urgency OF women DelnS empIoyeu III mum
tions factories became apparent We organ
lied huge munitions parade to impress on
sll the extent 10 which women were needed.
Il brought home 70 the people the question OF
she'll shortage and it was an enormous sue
cess.
"Then my organization started register,
enrolling the names of women ready TO do
war work Women simply fell over one an
ether in their eagerness to enroll. Their
keenness and anxiety to be of service were
almost amazing. All the same. that register
was G failure. We scrapped it soon after.
The reason was that when we had found the
women there we're no jobs waiting for them
Consequently a great number were absolutely
disheartened Others went away and found
work for themselves.
"By degrees women Joined munitlon rae

began to be established. But because of in
adequate organization the round peg fire.
