all the organizations and institu-

their influence and active support,
can further this work. 1t is desir-
able that the attention of the entire
people conferred on their obligation

that June 28th, 1915, be observed

With adequate preparation for a
National War Savings Day on June

people will be glad to participate

flexible urpos to fight until a tn

COAL SAVING THAT COUNTS.

With the passing of the winter
months the coal shortage loses much
Of its terror, but the vigil over the
coal pile should not be relaxed, and
every economy should be continued
through the. summer to prevent a
recurrence of this seasons famine.
1t is estimated that. the shortage
Of coal for every day Of the ensuing
year amounts to two and aone-half
pounds for every man, woman and
child in the United States. POSSIBLE
tiles of economies by factories and
railroads are receiving the most ex-
acting studies, but more attention is
needed for the small savings which
can be made in each home. These
savings can be made to set free
thousands of tons of coal for essen
tial industries and for the navy and
the many ships needed to carry men
and supplies to France.
Heating is not the only home use
for coal. Most gas and electricity
come from coal, and decreased con-
sumption of either means a proper
tionate saving in coal. Only the
mos economical light bulbs should
be used, and these should be of as
low candle power Oh wattage as is
permissible. All gas fixtures should
be in the best condition, and Wells
bach mantles substituted for the
open flame burners. The fiat fame
burner uses more than twice as
much gas as a mantle burner, and
gives much less light. Every mantle
burner substituted for a fiat flame
burner saves coal every day.
These substitutes in light may in
many cases provide better illumina-
tion with a smallar consumption of
gas or electricity. All lights should
be turned off when not absolutely
needed.
Savings in gas. and coal can be
made in the kitchen by arranging
the cooking so that the stoves are
heated for the shortest possible
time each day and byla more gener-
al use of f~ireless cookers.
Coal is a military essential, and
every ounce saved will help.-Du-

GEN PfRSnlNG GIVES
 HONOR TO SOLDIERS
Acknowledges Grand Cross of Honor From France as Tribute to Am.

Paris, Aug. 6.-Gen. Jno. J. Per- shing has acknowledged in letter to Premier C]emenceau the honor accord ed the general in the recent award to him of the grand cross of legion of honor by the French government. Referring to the letter in which the premier informed General Pershing of the award, in which it was set forth that the French government de- sired to recognize the eminent quail ties the general has displayed and the remarkable services rendered by him Gin organizing so promptly and effi- ciently the American forces in France" General Pershing> says:
 "Dear nister-Pres1dent:
 Permit me in reply to your mes sage to say that l am profoundly touched by the high distinction the French government has conferred in according me the grand cross of the legion of honor. l accept this honor with feeling of deep gratitude and as tribute paid by the French gov ernment to the qualities of the Am- erican soldier. They are qualities possessed to an eminent degree by their French comrades.

 The minimum wage paid to women in shell factories where the piece work system is in effect is about S7.50 a week, but unless a girl proves her self of making at least $9 a. week she is not regarded as good worker. It is not uncommon for particularly intelligent and energetic woman to draw each week from $l7 to S20

ENGLISH WOMEN MAKE
 SHELLS Tl BEAT HUNS
Work Three Shifts in Some Factories and Their Products Is fy-
 ce1lent.

Manchester, England, June IT, (Correspondence of the Associated Press. 1.-The women of England are making the shells with which the British army is beating back the enemy, and they are doing the work at an average pay equivalent to Sl0 a week.
 The managing director of big na- val construction works here is unable to employ domestic servants because all the women formerly employed as servants have gone to work in shell factories.
 When the factory men were called to the colors women quietly stepped into their places. The vast majority of the women had neither skill nor training in munitions work, but the factory engineers by installing what is known as single process machines, made it possible for the women to do the complicated work that previously only skilled men had been able to ac- complish.
 In a week or ten days woman learns how to operate a single pro CeSS IIldCIIlItc. bollC NOeS IIcI WOI IA efficiently and faithfully. Recently in one factory the women made 31 ,000 4.5 inche shells in eighteen weeks and not flaw could be found in any shell.
 Many of the women workers before the war were operatives in plants for textile manufacture, the chief indus try in this region. In peace times their wages averaged about the equiv alent of five dollars a week. Now the average is well over ten dollars and, in exception cases, fifteen dollars and more.
 In some factories women work three shifts of eight hours each, TO- tating each week. Their employers say they are not affected by the strain of night work. A large number of the women are doing the hardest kind of manual work,
 Piece work is the system used in most of the shell factories, and the managers say that the introduction

BELGIUM NEEDS HELP

HAVRE, Oct 23.-The fifth win ter of the war will bring greater demands that ever for civilian re- lief in Belgium, according to a state ment of Lieutenant Colonel Ernest P. Michell, American Red Cross Com missioner for Belgium, in which he announces that the commission has supplied more than $1O0,000 worth of clothing to Belgian refugees in the last nine months.
 There are more Belgian refugees in France now than at any time dur ing the war" Colonel Bicknell said Prices are higher, rent is higher and large numbers of people who for the first year or two, retained their vigor are tired, prematurely old, discouraged, sometimes almost helpless.
 There is probably no piece ot service that the American Red Gross can render to Belgium people which will help more efficiently than tt assist them in properly clothing them | selves.
