MILLION PLEDGED
 BY WAR COUNCIL

Washington, Dec, 31.---More than a million dollars was today pledged by the National Catholic War Council at it's headquarters here toward new year plans to provide for the future of the three million men already be- ginning to lay aside army and navy uniforms. Half a million dollars is to be devoted to the after-care of dis abled and wounded soldiers, sailors and marines, while almost a quarter of a million apiece will start wide spread employment and vocational training campaigns. Thousands of trained men and women workers are now being sent throughout the coun- try by this Catholic organization to cooperate with government bureaus in these first undertakings, in it's re- construction program.
 For Scrippled and invalidel fighters, | many of whom must need special care for the rest of their lives, the ser vices of committees of Catholic wo- men are being enlisted in every cen tral community in this country. Hun dreds of trained nurses and special owrkers have been put at the disposal of the leaders in this after-care cam paign, together with the facilities of every Catholic hospital in the aand. Improved public interests are expect ed to be brought about by this work, which will be done in close cooper ation with local chapters of the Amer ican Red Cross.
 | A hundred vocational advisory ex- perts and hundred thousand dollars have today been placed at the disposal of the United States Board of Voca- tionaR Education by the National Catholic War Council. In every Cath oic college and school, special efforts are being made to interest and train
 men to cooperate in this vital work of refitting the wounded soldier and sailor for industrial life.
 | To help every home-bound soldier, sailor or marine to find a good job, almost two hundred thousand dollars is now being spent in organizing Catholics in community groups to CO., operate with the United States Em- ployment Service and other agencies. In Boston, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, such organizations are already completed and placed at the disposal of the government, while J0 field directors, to co-ordinate Cath olic cooperation in every community, sistants to the federal directors, by the Reconstruction Committee of the National Catholic War Council.

 There is no doubt that the action of the general list in the movement toward lower levels, has been dis counting the change from artificial markets and fixed prices to the con- trol, after Dec. 31, of the law of supply and demand in view of the
 
 pl cbability that natural prices will be below those which the imperative need of war and governments de- creed.

q the same time Kir ne ear satiu
is a new production OF the American
manufacturers. IL is soft of sheen and
texture and makes a delightful setting
for bands OF bead. steel or silk en-
broidery. A model with a straight
plain skirt has the blouse fitted slight
ly into the figure, without the usual
structure Of a belt. The round neck is
outlined with steel embroidery, the
trimming extending down the front Of
the blouse almost TO the waistline In
narrow bands separated by rows Of
outline embroidery in black and white
silk.
The sleeves hang straight from the
narrow band-cuffs, the released sec
tions showing facings Of white satin.
Sleeves offer a fine opportunity for de-
signers to display their originality, for
there are many styles and one may ex-
ploit almost any idea on a design.
Cording and fine tucks such as are
used on the lower edges OF skirts and
tunics are employed in the decoration
OF sleeves, especially when they fare
below the elbows. This Is an inexpen-
sive trimming and. at the same time,
an effective one.
A frock that is simple in line, though
possessing decided chic. is developed
in mouse color broadcloth. The sur
plice blouse has a collar OF self-mater-
ial trimmed with corded tucks and the
skirt has front and back panels trim
med 10 correspond with the collar and
fare sleeves. Buttons OF mouse color
velvet are used for the adjustment and
to trim the belt.
Unusually pretty frocks are shown
in check wooden voiles for house wear
One attractive model has a close-ftting
bodice with a gathered peplum. A
deep tuck trims the peplum. being the
same width as the hem. The skirt is
gathered at the top and the lower edge
may be hemmed or finished in the new
scalloped effect.
Many of the smartest dresses are
shown in Marne and overseas blue,
while Algerian and mahogany red de-
serve prominent mention. In the soft
wool velours and duvetyns the reds are
especially effective.

WAY Of Preserving Fish.

Herring are the best fish for pick.
ling and when in season can be bought
quite cheaply.
First clean the fish and put in a
strong brine for "a hours. Take from
the brine and cut into convenient
pieces for packing into fruit jars
each fish should be divide into about
four pieces. Pack these closely In the
Jars and to each quart Jar add I table.

fill with cold vinegar. Place the Jars
in a warm oven on a wooden rack for
4 TO 8 hours, having the rubbers on
and the tops partly adjusted. At no
time must the liquid boil but should
only heat thoroughly; this cooks the
fish. Seal while hot.
