CPEAklNG of the Red Cross work, have
~ you seen the beautiful work the stock
ing machines do? They make up almost
whole stocking in about fifteen minutes,
and then you catch up the stitches on four
steel needles and finish tho toes and heels
by hand. 1t saves immeasurable time, and
is just as well done as when all is by hand;
in fact, those have seen show no mark
where the handwork is taken up after the
machine has finished its part. 1t is GER
tainly worth while having one. The Women
Writer'S Auxiliary, which has rooms in the
Record Building, YOU know, has gotten one,
and it's awfully interesting.

REGULAR SESSION
 OF PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION HELD

The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bridgeport Protective Association was held last evening at the headquarters located at 754 Myrtle avenue. President Nor man Leeds in the chair.
 The scope of the work during the last four weeks was well illustrated by the report submitted by Mrs. Mi chael Ford, chairman of the Case committee. Our previous minimum age limit has been reduced to 10 days this month. The management won dered if it would be compelled to add an incubator to its equipment when one night a little woman presented herself to our door asking shelter for herself, this tiny Alb baby, and sev- eral other small children. Al other beneficiaries were under 21 years of age.
 Although distincHvely an American institution in It's aims and methods, it's work is not confined to people who claim America as the land of their birth. Russians, Hungarians, Porto Ricans, Italians, Irish, Polish, Lithu- anians, Swedes,, Jews, Slovacs and Germans have shared with Americans the benefits of this organization.
 The weather in addition to the sick ness in the city has made many de- mands upon the home for food and clothing. especially among the chill dren. The society wishes to espe- cially thank the various churches and other societies that have so gener- ously given of the new clothing for the children which has enabled us to give the warm underclothing and lit tie dresses to the children who other wise would have suffered for the lack of it.
 The economic conditions of the city at this time have been reflected ill i the branch of the work that looks af- ter finding employment for those who | need it. One busy little woman who has looked in vain for some one to give her much needed, trained service in her work of home making, said, ] Ever since you started you have | been a Protective Association to
 women who are looking for work,
 don't you think it about time you became a Protective Association to
 us poor housewives who are in such
 dire need at this time?''
 Few this month have been able to
 make even a partial monetary remun- i eration for the benefits conferred This fact makes even more urgent the request of the Finance Committee 1 that all unpaid subscriptions be re- newed as soon as possible.

APPIIQUED CRETONNE
 IN FLOWER DESIGNS

Many of the evening dresses for younger women are trimmed with appltqued cretonne, in flower designs yelled with chiffon giving the effect of painting, as the chiffon is usually the color of the dress and gives a softening effect. Wool evening wraps, with sable collar and huff are worn by the majority, in place of velvet or fur. Tulle Is worn with almost all dresses, day and evening, and fas- tened at any place tte wearer fan cies. A cuff of tulle at tiee throat line, with the neck showing below, and the jet-weighted ends hanging at various lengths, is worn with the evening frock.

ICCREZIA EORI op4 1LSo'
 The beauty of the skin is depend ent on it's purity. Attention to the daily bath is the surest way of ob- taining this purity. Nothing conduces more to keep your skin soft, the flesh firm and round, the limbs pliant and the whole body vigorous than frequent baths. Everything which depresses the action of your skin lowers the tone of all your vital organs. This condition is immediately indicated in your complexion. The volatile mat ter or vapor exhaled daily by your skin in normal health is twice that which the lungs eliminate. You can readily appreciate how dependent both your appearance and your health are on the right kind of bath ing in order to remove this waste from the pores of the skin.
 Determining Your Bath
 Only by perseverance can you de- eide whether the cold or the hot baths are more beneficial to you. Al ternating between the two is some times best. If you take a cold plunge in the morning to stimulate you for the day, a warm bath should be in dulged in at night at least three times week. The cold bath alone isn't cleansing, and will not produce smoothness of the skin.
 | You should decide by experiment which bath is adapted to your physi- cal need and deficiencies.
 After a fatiguing day nothing will more quickly restore the tone of your nerves and freshen your skin and 1 your whole appearance than a hot bath followed by spraying the body with a delicately scented toilet water.

World Short of Sugar
 and Pork, Hoover Says

Washington, Nov. 13.---On the eve of his departure for Europe, Herbert c. Hoover, food administrator de- clared greater saving of food nEst be asked of the American people. Con servation must be directed along new lines, he said, that Europe may be led. MT. Hoovers remarks were made before gathering of state food ad- ministrators yesterday afternoon. "A new world situation in food requires change in domestic food policies" he said
 A balance sheet of the worlds food supply is approximately as follows un> til the next harvest:
 Sufficient supplies, provided there is economy in consumption, of wheat and rye; a shortage of about 3,OOO, 900 tons in feeds for dairy animals; sufff- cient supplies with economy in con- sumption of other feeds, beans, peas and rice; shortage of about 5000, 600 pounds of pork products, dairy prod ucts and vegetable oils sufficient beef to load all refrigerating ships avail able; sufficient sugar for our own normal consumption if other nations continue on short rations, but a short age if they increase their rations; a surplus of coffee.
 We are estimating," he said, that North America will furnish rather
 more than 60 per cent, and that the United States, including the West In- dies, will be in a position to furnish a total of about 100000 900 tons of food Of all kinds for export, against our pre-war European exports of 5000, 900 tons.
 MT. Hoover declared there are con- dltions of famine in Europe that will be beyond our power to remedy. There are 4O,OOO,OOO people in north Russia to whom fear little access with food can be obtained this win ter. I expect the most dreadful re. suits of starvation beyond all human power to allay"

Washington, Nov. 13 - "Victory" bread will soon disappear from the American table. Its place will be taken by bread made from whole wheat flour. Victory for American and Allied arms, however is responsi- ble only in part for the change. It is chiefly due, according to the food ad- ministration, to the tremendous wheat crop raised by the American farmer this year and the vast stores in Aus tralian and other wheat growing countries now made available New regulations will be announced soon,
