MATTER OF SALUTES
PERpLRXING PROBLEM
IN THE BRITISH NAVY
nv Associated Press.)

London, July 24.-The eyer-occur'
ring saluting problem has oeeh
brought to the British navy IN ratner
perplexing form by the growing ac
Itivities of the Woman's Royal Naval
sarvice Senior officers in the SER
vice desired to be saluted by those o.
lower rank, male or female; the ma
ioritv of the girl "privates' want 10
salute someone but who, when ana
how have not been definitely fixed IN
official orders.
In fact most of the confusion is at
tributed to recent official orders 1t
reads that "Officers and women OF the
w. r. N. s. commonly called
Wrens) will not salute their superior
officers (male or female). When adj
dressed by their superior officers tney
are. however, to stand at attention
and suitable respect Is always 10 De
maid such superior officers on all oc-
casions."
"A very great deal depends on that
word suitable" said a Wren private
when she first read the order. Before
the war she had been accustomed to
every luxury but she takes her work
very seriously and considers her com
mand a unit rather than several in
dividuals. "The question naturally
arises as to what might be ccnsid-
cred Suitable respect toward an Of
Ger who might have been unanimously
voted catty by the girls" she contin-
ued. "There is too much opportur-
!ty for display of individualism.
But the paragraph affecting the mer
is causing more confusion, 1t reads.
"Ohicers and men of other ROYAL
Naval services will salute officers Of
the W. r. N. s. who, by their badges
of rank, are their seniors, when they
meet or pass them, in similar man
ner to officers of the Royal Navy. Of
flcers of the W. r. N. S. will ac
knowledge such salutes by bowling"
Sailors have been heard to ask WHY
should they salute Wren officer wher
the Wren privates are not required
to do the same. Then long standinf
order in the British navy requires ;
sailor to salute anyone Having thu
general appearance Of an officer" pro
mulgated that an officer might com
mand respect even though he hap
pened to be in civilian dress.

marks that taking into consideration

: ing generous allowances for homes

the margarine is of a very inferior
watery quality. The butter price is
fixed at 2 marks, 65 krone a pound
but little is available at the fixed
price. Rather than sell for this deal
'ers allow their butter to become ran

lowances of meat, the meat is part

that the amount of bone sold with the

Don't Buy Too Bia a Bond.

Here is a word of advice for the farmer bond purchaser Don't bite off more than you can chew. Your gov ernment doesn't want you to strap yourself or run into financial difficult ties trying to pay for bond. Buy one small enough so you will be able to nav for it in the allotted time without having to borrow money to meet the obligation. Its value will represent your savings for that period of time. If your circumstances won't permit of YOU purchasing $1,000 bond. buy on ly q $500 one. Don't complicate our already complicated financial problem bv assuming a debt you can't pay.

 | The day seems to have passed when woman's education consisted of piano lessons and a little polite French. Now she studies biology, phycholdgy, and all the other ologies In his great and radical change in the psi I tion~of worfan it will not do teToxkk look the change in her relation to money matters. It Is no longer un- womanly to know something about money. Feminine charm is net di- unfinished by knowing the difference between a bond and share of stock.
 Millions of women earn ther living today. Hundreds of thousands have independent means and must decide for themselves in affairs financial. More and more of the wives, mothers, and sisters not only spend the house. hold money, but are consulted by the men when an investment is to be made. It matters not whether the investment consists of a victrola, an automobile, or a bond. It is said men do not take their wives into their con- fidence when they gamble or take a flyer, but it is also said that deception in these matters does not pay.
 So there is every material reason why women should do their part and more in floating the Liberty bonds.

But there is more than a purely busi- ness and selfish side to the women of this country. They have surprised even themselves with their executive ability and powers of business organ ization. The Red Cross and every other variety of relief work has been in it's detail largely the result of womans effort.
 Behind the lines women are prose- cutting the war on tremendous scale There are millions of men as well as women who cannot fight in the trenches, who cannot even drive mo- t0rtrucks or work in intuition fac tories. There are some people who can not even successfully raise a vegetable garden. but there is not an adult man or woman outside the poorhouse and the hospital who cannot either buy or help to sell a Liberty bond. It is the least they can do.

 Partnership With Government.
 Evidently the factory considered 1t "good argument" And then the wops, with their despised salaries, had subscribed; everyone was thinking about that. The hands began to go up, and a line of applicants was quickly formed

 It was the same everyday hum of the machines, but the factory was diff ferent. It was no longer a critical skeptical spectator of the struggle of civilization, bitterly suspicious of its own government. It and the govern ment were now partners.

Buildingup for the Spring Attack at the Front is good deal like putting the body in condition for an invasion Of the germs of grip, pneumonia or "Spring fever" here at home.
 At this time of the year most people suffer from a condition often called Spring Fever. They feel tired worn out, before the day is half thru. They may have frequent headaches and sometimes "pimply" or pale skin and white lips. The reason for this is that during the wintertime, shut up with in doors, eating too much meat and too little green vegetables, one heaps fuel into the system which is not burned up and the clinkers remain to poison the system-a clogging up of the circu- lation-with inactive liver and kidneys.
