Appetite and War Work.

American women have found occa-
sion before this to poke a little fun
at their English cousins because of
their rather persistent appetites. and
the comment used to be made that no
truly British Englishwomen if walked
in the night and asked to join in eat
ing a tart. would ever think of declin-
ing. Still, those very Englishwomen
were sylphlike when we American
women often carried redundant flesh
we had not Eliminated hips for fash
ions sake then. Perhaps it was be-
cause the Englishwoman was more
athletic. took long walks and gener-
ally enjoyed more wholesome and
healthful childhood than the Ameri-
can girl.
And the well bred. we'll born Eng
lishwoman just at the present time.
who is doing the lighter sorts OF war
work is still hungry-ravenoualy
hungry. in fact. And in England there
is some little good-natured muttering
on the part of some Of these whole
some-appetited young women because
in the food ration classifications they
are put down as brain workers." and
are therefore given no larger allow
ances than women who idle their
time away at NOME. OF II mas DeeT
decided by the wise ones in authority
that brain workers do not need such
large rations of certain commodities
as those engaged in physical work;
and of course young women doing
what is dubbed brain work. either for
so many pounds month or volunta-
rily, are willing enough to let the
women engaged in making ammuni-
tions and those doing farm work
have their extra food allowance. Still,
when they get together sometimes
they tell one another that work all
day in an office. with a walk to and
from work. does stir up quite a lusty
craving for food. and they probably
do what children in olden days used
to be enioined to do-leave the table
with their hunger still unappeased.
One ingenious English brain work.
er" dug out the fact that Handel used
to order three dinners always. SO that
he might get enough food to satisfy
his hunger. and he was surely brain
worker; and the additional fact that
Balzac, who just as truly worked with
his brain, used to devour astounding
amounts of food. Still we are told
repeatedly that headaches are far less
frequent among Englishwomen than
they were before the war, and no one
is suggesting at present that Eng
land is in any danger of starvation.

is a compromise between the one-piece
street frock and the Jacket suit which
demands separate blouseA 1t has proved
very acceptable as far as the season has
gone, especially as the coats are long,
or as long as redingotes, and give
warmth over a thin skirt, for these

that they could not be worn on a chilly

which is as follows:

surveyor shall be kept open at least
eight hours every working day; Pro

fight in the senate for $3.50 wheat,
which finally resulted in compro-
mise between the two houses on a
rate of $240, only to be defeated thru
a veto by the president
The house of representatives fail
ed to pass the bill over the executive
veto, hence the proposition is dead
for the time being. But Senator
Gronna continues to receive letters
and kilograms from the farmers of his
state, who are not aware Of the loss
Of their fight, urging him to continue
the contest.
As an illustration of the tremend-
ously increased cost of producing
wheat the senator cites the present
charge made by thrashing gangs. In
peace times large machine and a
crew of men could be hired for SIS to
SIT per hour. Now it costs $50 to $40
per hour. More convinced than ever
of the rightness of his position the
senator intends to seize every oppor-
tunity that may present itself in the
future to better the welfare of the
wheat growers of the West.
