Finish the job right" That was
the reply of the American fighting
men to the Americans back home and
to the whole world in response to Teu-
tonic peace efforts. They have taken
the Bulgarian call for peace as a sig
nal for the allies to continue to fight
harder than ever.
Lately we have heard much of what
the housewife did in the way of max
ing it possible to feed the allies last
year. Before the war the United
States had ALMOST ceased to be food
exporting nation. In the past year.
the diligent conservation of food by
the American housewife. however.
made it possible for America to send
more than 100000 tons of food to
Europe.
This is splendid victory for the
housewife. But it should in no way
serve to relax her efforts in conserv-
ing food in the coming year. 1t should
rather be, as the Bulgarian peace Of
fer is to our boys, spur to greater
determination to win the goal.
During the coming year we must
send seventeen and one-half million
tons of food across the Atlantic. To
do this calls for constant conservation
of the staples-wheat, meat, sugar and
fats-and unceasing vigilance to see
that no food whatever is wasted.

Ordinarily this isn't exactly the time
of the year when porch parties are
the most popular, but owing to Flu,
who seems to be king these days, they
are quite the rage at the sorority
houses at Washburn during rushing.
1t is hard to have any secrets con-
nected with the rushing this year
when all must be in the open and all
four sorority houses on College Hill
are withip sight of each other, but
as one optimistic young woman who
says she belongs to the best sorority
out there Owe have forgotten which
one she said now), expressed it, 1--WE
should be very glad that we are hav-
ing porch and garden party weather"

THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has a daughter who was the
fourth girl to STRIVE in the household,
where there were no boys, and she
feels that. since her father and mother
who are very patriotic have no son to
send overseas to serve their country,
1t IS her place to do her part in that
way. AS she expresses it, "Since you
have no son to send, I am glad you
have n daughter who is strong enough
to 60"
