France to Supply Fruit and
Vegetables for Pershing's
Forces to Save Shippine

PARIS, Feb. 6.-An agreement has
been concluded between the French and
American governments by which the
canned fruit and vegetables required
ny the American eXpeditionary forces
VIII be supplied by France This action
was taken after joint Investigation
by experts of the United States Army
purchasing Board and French author
ltles showed that the normal fruit and
vegetable crop in France was sufficient
10 supply both armies as we'll as all
domestic needs.
The Americans will be required only
to import sugar for preserving the
fruit and tinplate for the manufacture
OIL cans. These materials will be sold
to the French government. which will
apportion them among private manu-
facturers.
The American Army Purchasing
Board expects that by purchasing
canned goods in France there will be
saving of 70 per cent on the tonnage
required for canned goods. The
monthly canned food requirements for
$4,000 men is estimated at $50 tons.
Fifty tons of this represents sugar and
tinplate, which will pe imported, thus
saving 800 tons of shipping space.
For an army of 100000 men the
saving would amount to 5000 tons
monthly. Products Cor canning will be
purchased at reasonable prices, to be
fixed by the French government.
The quantity of canned tomatoes
consumed by the American soldiers
greatly exceeds the proportionatc
amount used by the other allied armies
and the French civilian population. 1t
may be necessary, therefore, to import
some tomatoes from Italy. The fruits
and vegetables for the American army
Will be picked and canned by female
labor

N. Y. Central Sets
S2oo,00o,o0O as the
Hudson Tube Cost
Estimate on improvements
Nearly Double That of
West Side Commission

The engineers of the legislative com
of which William H. Van Benschoten
is chairman, and the engineers of the
New York Central Railroad are about
500 900 apart in their estimates as
to the cost of the Hudson River freight
tunnel suggested in the report Of the
commission, published on Saturday last.
Amos Schaeffer, consulting engineer
Of the commission, gave an itemzed
estimate OF the cost of making a con-
nection with a proposed classification
yard on the Jersey meadows back of
Weehawken by tunnels under the Hud-
son to Sixty eighth Street, Manhattan,
with four-track subway structure
from SiXty-eighth Street to Cortlandt
Street, a belt line railroad connecting
the railroad yards on the Jersey side,
and an equipment, making the total
cost of the undertaking $124 ZOO, 900.
Total of $2oo,ooo,ooo
The Schaeffer estimate provided for
two single track tunnels under the
Hudson Leaving out the question of
the adequacy of two tunnels to handle
the traffic from the Jersey side, the
/ Central's engineers figure that instead
of costing $16,O00.000, the tunnels Will
cost Just about double that sum. II
! is understood that the Centrafs en-
gineers arrived at their estimate by al
analysis Of the cost of the Pennsyl-
vania tunnels and the lnterborough
tunnels. In addition to these figures
they have the figures of the cost OF
the construction of the company's own
tunnel under the Detroit River. With
these data for comparison and the pres
ent high cost of labor and materials
as maximum figure for computation
the Centrals engineers say that, in.
stead of the proposed improvement
costing 1924, 1000, the grand total
would be 0,00O,000, and perhaps
$225, 900.
Another thing about the Van Ben.
schotcn report that the Central people
do not welcome is the suggestion that
if anything is done it should include
a general scheme of handling all the
freight brought to this port from the

borhood Cookery for
Piping Hot Dishes

Three geraniums famed suddenly in
inc little window of store at 1910
Eighth Avenue, The Bronx, yesterday,
announcing that the Patriotic Neigh.
borhood Kitchen was open for business,
and white-capped cook came to the
window to beckon inside the curious
children whose noses were fiat against
the window pane. Half an hour later a
red-faced Irish woman made her way
into the shop, shifting suspiciously.
"Ah, SOUP" she decided. "My childer
said you had it for sale. Fill up this
pail, will yah? The saints know l
can't keep their stomachs filled"
She was followed by another, de-
manding spaghetti enough for seven,
and her neighbor, asking for rice muf-
fins for her delicate little boy, and in
they streamed, dozens of mothers and
women workers, at this, the opening
OF the Patriotic Neighborhood Kitchen,
a new experiment of the National
League for Woman's Service
Everything Sold Out
Experiment it is no longer, however,
for when the committee faced empty
pans and dishes last night and remem-
bered the long lines of women and chill
dren who had come to buy the cooked
food all day long, they went out to buy
carrots and beef for to-day's stew and
set to work baking and boiling again,
twice the quantity they provided yes
terday.
The Patriotic Neighborhood Kitchen
was started as a fuel-saving PROPOSE
tlon, the league figuring that one stove
cooking large quantities of food would
save coal and gas for the many stoves
in the homes of that Bronx neighbor-
hood. But to the busy housekeepers
themselves the home cooked food
comes as mamma from heaven, quite
apart from the advantage of coal say
ing.
Prices UnsualIy Low

washes for living and has three small
children. USUALLY, you know, miss,
Just Try some potatoes and boil some
tea, and let it go at that. The doctor
said the littlest one ought to have soup
and things, but who's the woman who
can make soup these days?'
The kitchen will serve three nutri-
tlous dishes every day at slightly
above actual cost. Soup, for example. is
10 cents pint; baked apples, 3 cents
each. No fried foods or pastry will be
served. and all Hoover orders will be
strictly obeyed.
