WOMEN SOLVE PROBLEM.
Of Labor in Exclusive Clubs in Phila-
delphia.

Philadelphia, July SIN the invasion
of women walters in exclusive clubs here,
another male help problem directly trace
able to the war seems to have been
solved. As was the case in the drafting
of women to operate elevators the hir-
ing of mattresses in clubs patronized al
most-entirely by men, was first in the
nature of an experiment, but so well did
they do their work that the step has
been followed by similar organizations.
The Art Club was the pioneer in the
innovation. Then the University club,
the Union league, and the Engineers
club filled the shortage of men walters
with women. Others contemplate like
move,
That the mattresses are a success is
vouched for by by the steward of one
of the organizations, who declared that
no complaints have been received regard
ing the service, but, to the contrary the
members seem highly pleased with the
change.
Although the advent of mattresses in
clubs is purely war emergency, they
seem destined to remain not only for the
duration of the conflict, but afterward.

Feat unequaIed in military History.

factory and significant the report of Sec
Baker that the American forces which
sailed to participate in the war In France
from May s, 1917, to June 3d. 1918, were
l,0l9ll5.
Especially striking are the figures by
months. During the winter we had
struck a gait Of between $4,000 and 49,
600 month, not quite two complete di-
visions Then March brought the Ger
man offensive and an appeal for our man
power as fast as we could send 1t. As
q result the saihngs of April, May and
June totaled nearly $4,000, as against
$4,000 in the II months previous. May
was twice as large as April, and June
was larger even than May, 40 it is pos
sible that our limit is not yet reached
As feat of transportation, the move
ment of more than 100000 troops
across 5000 miles of ocean has never
been approached in allhistory. Our enc
mics had proclaimed it impossible, and
by their U-boats had done their best to
make it so. Even we and our allies
would not have believed last year that
so great an American army could now
be in France or on the way. And it has
been done with the loss at sea of just
29l men, or not quite three in 10000.
The publication of Sec. Bakers figures,
the president believes, will give add
tional zest to our national celebration of
the Fourth" As the celebration of the
Fourth is now become interra tional, the
zest will be no less in London and Paris
and Rome at the news of what the Amer
leans have done. There ought to be some
emotion aroused even on the far side

fresh stalks of rhubarb in small pieces.
Add an equal measure of rhubarb to the
berries and proceed to can as though you
used berries alone. The rhubarb takes
the taste of the strawberry, and imparts
no flavor of its own Many people who
have tried this method prefer the result

also be used successfully with pineapple.

Mormon Cult Is Meeting Opposition
from the Clergy.

Amsterdam, July s,Representatives
in Saxony Of the Mormon church have
petitioned the Saxon chamber for per-
mission to conduct freely their religious
obseryances under the same privileges as
those granted to other religious com
munities. The minister for public wor-
ship has consented to examine the ques-
nion.
The Neues Saechsisches Kirchenblatt
the organ of the Saxon church, asks in
dignantly how people can be found to
countenance such a proposition at this
time. 1t declares that no competent Ger
man authority has ever recommended
Mormonism.
1--WE take this" says the clerical or
gan, "as challenge. Let us be on our
guard. America is sending over forces
to carry the war into our country and
to cheat us out of peace"

Learning to Eat Perishable Foods.


We are often told that Americans are
not salad eating people. Perhaps that
will be changed by our efforts to conserve
exportable food and to eat, the perishable,
in which class lettuce. radishes, endive,
etc, certainly belong. To prepare a salad
properly requires care and, thought. For
one thing all metal should be kept away.
Even the salad forks and spoons of the
French and Italians are made of wood.
Our enameled ware spoons answer as
well. Wash the lettuce thoroughly in
very cold water. Put in an enameled
ware colander and shake Until dry. With
this lettuce as foundation any other
vegetables may be added such as sliced
radishes and small spring onions. Olive
oil is now very expensive but we have
excellent substitutes in vegetable oils
made in this country A salad dressed
with plenty of oil either in mayonuaise
or French dressing becomes a nutritious
article of diet as we'll as a, saver Of food
that can be shipped to those whose need
is greater than our own.

Plain Facts About the Meat Business

These conclusions if fair and just matters of serious

but to every other citizen of our country.

This compared with $19OOOOO as the average annual
profit for the three years before the making appear that
the profit $2 100000 greater than the prewar profit
This compares threeyear profit with one-year profit
manesty unfair method of comparison not only misead

mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate threeear profit of S4000000 earned
sales of four and half billion dollars about three

The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to prove
any famnded person that they in keen competition

FINANCE CORPORATION
VIEWS MANY PROJECTS

Annarently under the belief that the
War Finance Corporation is source
of easy money for all kinds of develop
ment projects. scores of applications
have been filed asking for advances to
aid in promoting new enterprises which
II is claimed will contribute to the wars
success.
Apnlications numbering several hun
dred were classified today. The directors
Of the corporation set about the work
of getting full information on cases
which appeared meritorious. Applicants
who did not present sufficient claims to
iustify immediate consideration will be
told to examine their cases in the light
of the War Finance Corporation act and
tn refile them il further evidence of need
can be presented.
A few cases seem urgent. Loans
NAV be made on them within the next
two weeks. Some of these are from
concerns which have been unable to
obtain from banks loans with which
to expand plants making war mate
rials.
Applications have been made by a
number of public utilities which are
hit hard by rising cost of materials
and supplies and the difficulty Of in
creasing service rates proportionately.
Some applications on file reflect an
apparent unwillingness of banks to
extend credit to institutions which
they have financed in the past with
out advance assurance from the War
Finance Corporation that the loans
will be covered from the government
fund.
