SAYS A NORMAL SUPPLY OF
COAL is MOVING TO CITY.

Capt. J. w. Hallock, head OF the
Harbor Police, told an Evening World
reporter that since the opening OF the
XIII van Kull channel ten days ago
normal supply OF coal has been NOV
ing from tldewater, but he declared
that more than half OF 1t Is soft coal
and being used to fill the bunkers OF
ships lying in tho harbor, lie said
that before tho United States entered
the war these ships were able to lay
In supplies in Europe for return trips,
but now have to take on coal enough
here for double journeys.
Capt Hallock said that every day
four tows OF fifteen barges, each con-
tanning 500 TO 500 tons OF coal, are
sent across. This averages about
"a. 900 tons a day and would iii New
York's needs IL 1t could 20 to the con-
sumers here. lie urged as a remedy
that more than 900 Hudson River
grain barges now tied up for the win
| ter at Hoboken be taken over to move
coal. lie said this action could be
easily taken by the Federal officials.
Capt, lIallock said that in his work
around the docks he has heard moth
ing about any shortage Of labor, Most
OF tho workers on the bargos, he de-
clarcd, are elderly men, not affected
/ by the draft, and many arc fore gncrs

DRESS YOUR PART,
SAY BUSINESS WOMEN

Furs in brOiling weather and gauZe
stockings and slippers in midwinter
will get a setback at the Business Wo-
mems exhibit of business clothes in
New York city, scheduled for the early
summer.
What to wear and how to wear it is
one Of the first questions which the
new National Business Women's Com
mittee is taking up. A standard in
dress for business is the object.
When a hundred delegates from
twenty-five states met at the National
Board building of the Young Women's
Christian Association, in New York
City, in May it was to represent the
100000 business women of this cOun-
try and mobilize them for patriotic
work.
Better working conditions, equal pay
for equal work, efficiency in the va
riOus activities into which women are
going and the promotion of business
opportunities were the object This
committee of twenty-five women,
known as the National Business Wom-
ems Committee is the connecting link
between the business wOmenS organi-
cations of this country and the Ma.
tional Young Women's Christian Assoc
citation, which has thrown all it's ma
chinery open to the movement Miss
Lena Madesin Phillips, a lawyer from
Kentucky, heads the movement.

ALL SORTS OF needs
MET BY HOSTESS HOUSE

Her brothers name among the list
of killed in the evening paper-if only
she could reach her other brother at
the neighboring camp before he saw it.
For two hours and a half she tried
vainly to reach him by telephone.
Then she thought of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association Hostess
House-why not try it?
"Teu him." she called over the wire
to the operator, that some one at
home is very sick In fifteen minutes
her brothers voice came over the
wire-he had run all the way from
the barracks to the Hostess House
upon receiving the message.
The Y. W. c. A Hostess Houses at
the training camps answer many needs
besides the service to women relatives
and friends of soldiers. Like all well
conducted houses they are friends to
everybody.
Forty-SiX of these housese are al
ready open and twenty-four are build
ing at army camps, aviation fields,
naval stations and marine barracks
Nine are for friends of colored troops

MANNED, BUT STILL GAY

1.-THE gay little air which crippled
men returned from the front all wear
is the most pathetic thing that l have
seen in France" writes a Young Wo-
mans Christian Association war
worker in Lyons.
"In spite of clutches and drawn
faces they all look at you as you pass
them on the street as though they
would say, It's nothing to me that /
have only one leg left to my name
Lyons has multitudes of wounded,
exchanged prisoners, refugees and the
most motley crew of munition workers
that any town can produce.
"In the great munition factories
there are Chinese, Algerians, Moroc-
cans and hosts of other races whose
faces and clothes age so yellowed bS
the acids among which they work that
their nationality is only guess"
Great numbers of the workers are
French refugee women. 1t is among
these that the Young Women's Chris
tian Association has opened social
rooms which are these women's only
chance of home life. Work of this
kind has been established by the
Young Women's Christian Association
during the past year in number Of
French cities.

WHEAT
HOOVER INSISTS WHEAT
SAVING MUST CONTINUE

Dismayed by the reports spreading
thru the country that there is no Ion
ger necessity for the conservation of
wheat, Herbert Hoover has sent the
following telegram to contradict them:
REPORTS have been circulated that
food administration officials state that
further wheat conservation is not nee
essary. No statement of such a charac-
ter has ever been issued. The actual
position is that our supplies until har-
vest allow home consumption of ap-
proximately one-third of normal if we
are to maintain allied supplies. The
actual position is that in farmers
hands and storage we had at the be-
ginning of May 100000 bushels of
wheat to carry us for approximately
three months or with an early harvest
perhaps two weeks shorter. Our nor
NAL consumption for three months
would be 12O,000,000 bushels, not al
lowing the allies anything"

ENOUGH YANKS TO BEAT FOE
Premier Lloyd George Warns Next
TWO Months Will Be Anxious
Ones-Lauds u. S. Work.

London, June 25.-Premier Lloyd
George announced on Monday that the
next couple of months would be
anxious ones. There might be great
blow coming in the next few hours, he
said, and certainly in the next few
days, and on this blow the issue Of
the campaign might depend.
The entente allies, he added, never
felt better prepared to meet it.
The premier, who made his an
nouncement in the house of commons,
referred to the amazing organization
which was bringing American troops
to France
Enough Americans" he added,
shave arrived to satisfy the allies and
to disappoint and ultimately defeat our
foes.''
1t was possible that within a short
time, the premier said, the allies would
be stronger than Germany.
Premier Lloyd George said the Aus
tro-Hungarians were in full retreat.
The question now was, he added,
whether they would be able to effect a
retreat.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that 1t would
be to the interest of the British people
and also just and equitable, if Russia
wanted II, that Great Britain stand by
Russia.

The Quiet Life.

Often we rebel at what looks to us
like the narrowness and emptiness Of
our lives. There is so little variety,
so little Of the unexpected and the
dashing. We forget the loneliness Of
gray life-the delicacy, the subtle
tints and shades that are only possible
when experiences come sparsely or FL
tered through long periods of waiting.
Quiet lives are more exquisite than
crowded ones, just as quiet shadows
are more exquisite than crude sunlight.

CAPITOL SETS EXAMPLE
IN VICTORY GARDENS

In the Capitol Park at Madison
eleven large f1ower-beds display Dor
ders of vegetables. Seven are
edged with wax beans, two with
carrots, and two with beets. To the art
list, the vegetables vie with the gerani-
ums in the center for beauty; to the
patriot, they excel because they com
bine a needed amount of food with
beauty. 1t requires no more labor to
take care Of a vegetable garden than a
flower bed, and a properly cared-for
garden is pleasing to the eye and deco
rative. The proceeds from the sale of
the vegetables in the Capitol Park are
to be given to the Red Cross. But in
reality, the vegetables have a more
valuable mission in setting an example
for the citizens of Wisconsin to follow.
Last year, war garden was planted
on plot of ground Is by 80 feet in
dimension at the governors residence
which was new ground, broken for the
first time. For $1.20 seeds were pur-
chased, one package of radishes, let
tuce, red beets, carrots, one quart wax
beans, and one peck of potatoes. Dur
ing the summer, the Governor and six
persons had all the radishes, lettuce,
beets, carrots, and beans they wanted,
and in the fall the. harvest yield
amounted to about SIS. This year the
same plot will be used, and will, it is
hoped, make an even better showing.

USE POTATOES
AS A WAR FOOD
100000 Bushels in Wisconsin
Wasted If Consumption Is
Not Increased i'm Next
Three Months.

Millions Of bushels of potatoes in
Wisconsin will rot in bins and store
houses and be an utter loss if they are
not consumed as food. To use up the
surplus, there will have to be con-
sumption of about one bushel per CAPT
ia over normal during the next three
months. With the present shortage Of
food, any waste is criminal; especially
of potatoes which must act as a sub
stitute for wheat.
If the farmers do not sell this sur
plus, they will be discouraged from
planting more, and this would result
in an insufficient supply for next sea-
son. The difficulties of the food situa-
ton would then be multiplied.
"The potato grower" says Lloyd
George, lis in the front line of the fight
against the submarine"
The more potatoes they produce, the
more wheat can be shipped
Eat Potatoes and Be Healthy.
Enormous reduction of suffering
from disease and the saving of many
thousands of lives would be brought
about if the consumption of potatoes
could be quadrupled The potato has
in it a large quantity of alkaline salts
which are essential to the blood. They
counteract the acids that are poured
into the body. They fortify the tissues
against deadly diseases such as, the
hardening of the arteries, Bright's dis
ease, and apoplexy.
Add years to your own life and i'm
mortality to democracy by eating pota-
toes.
Potatoes Cannot Be Shipped.
Every potato eaten means that much
more wheat for the Allies and war-suf
ferers. For we can ship wheat, but it is
impossible to ship potatoes. They con-
tain nearly 80 per cent of water. The
handling and transport of a food so
bulky and SO quick to spoil is serious
problem even in normal times. Now,
withe every inch of shipping space
worth it's weight in gold, to send pota-
toes abroad in any quantity is out of
the question.
Hotels and Grocers to Aid.
"30,000,000 of potatoes may go to
waste. Eat potatoes something
else," heads dining car menu of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad which gives
II methods of preparing potatoes and
quotes the prices at which these dishes
will be served to patrons dining on the
road.
Hotels and restaurants should serve
potatoes free of charge and make a
corresponding charge for bread.
Grocers could do their bit by dis
tracing the attention of their GUS
toners from wheat to potatoes, en-
phasizing their low price.
Help to create a demand for pota-
toes.
Potatoes Three Times Day.
Start the day with potatoes for
breakfast as an ingredient in bread,
have one baked for lunch, and camou
flage them with the aid of other recipes
for dinner.

Intellidence.

An intelligent person is supposed to
be one of cultivated understanding;
person who has acquired large store
Of knowledge, but not necessarily in
the schools or colleges, for many high
ly intelligent persons have been self

A child's mind is plastic. The i'm

of making, it is soft and pliable; but
once it is dry, it becomes SO hard that

few minutes the cement hardened,
and the imprint made by the child's

Use Barren Spaces for Garden.

Besides yielding profit to individ-
uals, war gardens help to solve the
problems of providing food, saving
labor, and relieving the railroads 1t is
the aim of the Food Administration OF
Wisconsin to have the gardens utilize
plots of ground which would otherwise
be in disuse, such as vacant lots, back
yards, parks, or municipal property. 1t
suggests that factories clean up their
yards and divide them into small plots
among their employees for war gar.
