HAM, HAM, HAM! THE VAIL
OF ALONDON HOUSEWIFE
By Margaret walter.
By Reciprocal News Service.

LONDON, July 20 (by maiD.-Here's
how the diary of London housewife
might read these days:
MONDAY-Over here Monday is not
wash day, but the day you wish to
goodness it was. Of all the problems
that beset wartime housekeepers this
washing business Is really the most
serious.
It's three weeks now that our laun-
dry man has not come for the fat
work. We have done the rest in the
house.
Soap, the commonest kitchen brand,
costs 20 cents a pound, and is as green
as anything. You can't buy over a
certain amount, depending upon the
number in your family, so you don't
get a chance to let it dry out.
And every now and then they tell US
we may not be able to get toilet soaps
any longer.
TUESDAY-Every woman in Lon
don has spent about three hours this
week getting her family food coupon
books signed and numbered and regis
tered at her favourite shops. The new
ration books are very neat and the
best possible memOriam to poor Lord
who has died just when the
country was beginning to appreciate
his big work.
When you remember the awful
meat and bread and sugar queues of
last November, the real hunger and
want that was so near to US, condi-
tions today look like a miracle
For no matter how much food was
sent over here from America, no mat
ter how we deprived ourselves and
saved and scimped at home, if a few
food hogs and profiteers had got hold
Of it the English people would have
starved and no mistake.
Now that we share and share like
nobody minds, nobody complains.
The ration books contain leaves OF
different colors, red for meat, pink for
sugar, blue for butter and margarine
and brown for lard. Four meat cou-
pons today enabled me to buy pound
and half of round steak that has to
be well pounded before it can be eat
en-; if want a lump of suet to lard
It with l have to hand over another
coupon.
Each person has four meat coupons
l week but only three can be used foT
what they call butchers meat; that is,
fresh meat. The fourth coupon is for
nam, bacon, poultry and game, or you
IAN use the fresh meat coupons for
)ther meats if you like. Just now
here is an abundance of bacon and
nam, thanks to you at home, and peo-
pie are able to buy certain amount |
If it without any coupons at all
So wherever you go at meal time a
inc big ham is trotted out and the
of the house looks that pleased
With herselfi 1 bought a ham Friday |
md paid 81 for it.
We had it hot for dinner that night |

we had a little of it minced, Saturday
night we had cold ham and salad.
Everyone was tickled to death when
some American friends invited US to
spend Sunday with them. 1t rained
Sunday but we decided we had better
go for a change of diet-I hadn't pre-

So we went, of course, and for din

looked fine and we loved it because it
wasn't our own ham anyhow. We
stayed for supper and the ham was

we came home and for breakfast Mon

followers of the mat-game have a BAN
ner bout awaiting them tonight at
the New Folly theater when Frank
Zeraga the District and Southern
heavyweight champion clashes with
Andy Matatak, the Springfield. New

These surething guys are away up in
the air as Matatak claims that he is
looking for a reputation in the South
and will make as fast time OF Zerega
as possible. Matatak is laying out the
coin on his own ability and II appears
that a hot scrap is in store for those
who will be at the matside tonight.
Zerega is not saying a great deal
but since his recent victory over
Young Gotch. the grappler from the
Engineers. he has been putting in
some hard licks at training and be-
lieves he will be in the best of shape,
he has ever been in, when he steps on

Man Without a Country

There was a time when his country
didn't mean much to him.
There were other countries to which
he could 20 and where he could make
as much money as he could at home
countries where he would not be bur-
dened by legal and social conventions
which interfered with his ideas Of
pleasures.
But those days have passed.
Today he would rather be wearing
u. s. doughboy's uniform and draw
ing his $50 a month than to be the
idol of the cafes Of Barcelona. sur
rounded by a mob drinking his wine.

taking his place with the rest Of bis

Jack johnson, former heavyweight
champion OF the world, is truly a man
without a country.
He cooked his dinner in his liking
and now finds it il mostly wormwood.
'T would give anything I own to
walk down State street in Chicago"
he told an American in Barcelona a
few weeks ago.
The latest news is that he has writ
ten to Capt. La Guarda, former Rep
resentative, now in France.
'I am as good an American as any
one living" he wrote. II want to do
my bit. All want is a chance to
show my sincerity to America, my
country. There is no position would

LIFE OF PILOT
NIGHTMARENOW
Major League Manager Hav;
ing Tough Job During
War Time.

New York. Aug. 7.-Being a major
league manager in war times is a
regular nightmare.
Ask Jack Hendricks, Wilbert Rob-
inson, George Stallings or the pilot
Of any major-league club that has
been hit hard because of the war.
OF the sixteen major-league mana
gers in the pennant hunts this year
Robinson and Hendricks have had to
stand for more disappointments than
any of the rest. The Cardinals have
been wrecked and rewrecked by the
draft and enlistments. The Robins
have been torn to bits by the same
process.
Robinson's one consolation seems
to be centered in his pitching staff,
for old though they may be, the
workaday members of the Robin
hurting corps have managed to de-
liver the goods at highly opportune
times. The result is the Dodgers have
escaped the cellar.
The Cards, with recruits gathered
from far and wide to fill gaping
holes, cannot be expected to finish
better than eighth. unless Hendricks
works some unthought-of miracle.
But It isn't Hendricks fault that a
first-division club has been wrecked
for him, and It isn't Robby's fault
that the Dodgers have been bent and
broken by the war burdens they have
had to carry.
The best part Of It alf lies in the
fact that neither OF these managers
let out a single yelp about the turn
of luck.
