most important single movement that
was ever started in America for the
protection of the American and the

Dawson, chairman Of the Red Cross

- WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-What the
Fen and Brush Club. 1872 East Nine
teenth Street, New York, is doing in
war work is the subject of comment in
statement issued tonight by the Di
vision of Woman's War Work of the
Federal government. The statcmcnt
says:
THE compilation of bool, of de-
signs for use in the teaching of handi
craft to returned disabled soldiers and
sailors is ono of the activities of the
Pen and Brush Club, of. 1872 East Nine
tccnth Street, New York, of which Miss
Ida NJ. Tarbell, vice chairman of tho
Woman's Committee of the Council of
National Defence, is president. That
this will be a most valuable work, en-
couraglng native handicraft and rein
forcing the national rc-education pro-
grammc at the same time, is tho opinion
of Pen and Brush Club members.
Some of the war activities under the
direction of this club include publicity
work i'll connection with the woman's
committee of the Council of National
Defence, the raising of a fund for the
Of two French babies for
two years, the entertainment of sol
diers and sailors in the clubrooms. in
cooperation with the War Community
Service, and collection of money to es-
tabllsh two rooms for weaving"

Biscuit Firm Laboratories
Busy Mixing Victory Flour

The "Victory" -four order means a lot
of work from the biscuit and cracker
makers.
Merely using 70 per cent wheat -four
and 30 per cent substitute would satisfy
Mr.. Hoover but it would not necessar-
eat. The present task of the bakers Is
tc make "Victory" crackers palatabc.
A representative Of the Sunshine
Biscuit Company told The Tribune yes
tcrday that the Sunshine laboratories
have been busy at this task for weeks,
and that some of tht results would
soon be put on the market. The Ma
tional Biscuit Company has tackled the
same job, representative said.
"'0nly you can't always tell what the
public is going to like until you've
tried it out" added the latter.
A "non-sweet wheatless cracker" is
one of the suggestions on which tic
laboratories are working. One firm
rye" cracker, and it il to be IN the
stores very shortly.
A cracker is delicate thing 10 add
80 per cent Of substitute cereal with

gradients is to throw it off it's balance,
experts say. A "Victory" cracker that
the public couldn't get it's teeth into
might easily be result. And to cut
out even the sugar, much as it would
help Mr.. Hoover, would complica.e mat
tcrs still more.
So the biscuit companies arc not cx-
actly sure about the on-sweet wheat

control Of food, fuel and railroads, the
conservation of clothes and spending
money and other forms of thrift and
economy suggested by the National
War Savings Committee; the protec-
ton of the individual and the com
munity in conditions of health and
work which have been already won--all
these are identical with the aims of
the Junior Red Cross. with the volun-
teer making of sweaters and garments,
of packing boxes and surgical tables.
The purpose of all this is one-to re-
lease to the government for its vital
needs men. money and supplies.
"Since these activities are essential
ly one, we believe that the economy Of
the school programme demands the
avoidance of conflicting appeals and
duplicating organization. The Junior
Red Cross offers It's organization and
will cooperate with other organizations
to the fullest extent, obtaining a wise
economy of the child's time and
strength"
Cardinal Farley Approves
Cardinal Farley, member of the
honorary adxisory committee of the
Red Cross, and Archbishop Hanna, of
California, have agreed to support the
campaign. The cooperation of the ma
tion's teachers has been invoked by
Miss Mary c. c. Bradford, president Of
the National Education Association.
Dr. Henry MacCracken, national di-
rector of the campaign. explained yes
terday that organization of the Junior
Red Cross membership in the schools
does not exclude other forms of wor-
thy patriotic service.

Nurses a-Plenty Now,
Says General Gorgas
Discomforts in Camp Hospitals
Traced to Lack Of Trained
Attendants

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Surgeon
General Gorgas reported to Secretary
Baker to-day that, as a result of the
special campaign for the enlistment of
army nurses, the deficiency in that
branch has been made up.
Instances in which soldiers in camp
hospitals have had to endure unneces-
sary discomforts have been traced in
nearly every case to the fact that the
War Department had failed in its ef-
forts to secure enough trained nurses
and hospital attendants to permit the
assignment Of an adequate number to
each camp.
General Gorgas has recommended ad-
dltional buildings at the camps for
housing the nurses. In the mean time
the general has been authorized to Sc
cure for this purpose "hostess houses"

accommodations as may be available.

Several Arrests Made
Mrs. Rosner feels certain that Lillian
was carried away, since the child never
even crossed the street alone, and
never got out of sight of the house.
Several arrests on technical charges
have been made, but so far no one has
been held after investigation. A man
taken to the police station yesterday
was thought at first to be one of those
described by persons who furnished
c!ews to the police, but he was net

SUGARLESS
- ANDY@

OUR customers and the public in general have wondered
how we manage to keep our candy trays so well stocked in
view of the present sugar shortage and stringent government
regulations regarding its distribution.
q At first blush it would seem that we have been dereict in
our duty in conserving the sugar supply. But such is not the
case. For some time past we have been conducting costly ex-
periments in substituting syrups and corn products inthe making
of Homemade Candies, and have succeeded in producing a product that is
both pahtable and wholesome. Therefore there is no occasion for children
or grownups to deny their sweet. tooths for any patriotic reason.
