A BELGIAN VILLAGE in
THE HEART OF ENGLAND
Wounded Refugees Make Shells in
Town Named Elizabeth After Their
Queen

New townships have sprung up in
all parts of England owing to the de-
mand for housing for munition workers.
Mr. Raymond Unwin, who planned the
first garden city at Letchworth, has
been appointed by the Ministry Of Mu-
nitons to superintend the building Of
these model townships" The War Pic
torial says:
"a. Elizabethville. named after the
Queen of the Belgians, some 1000 Bel
giar soldiers are making shells for the
British army. OF these 80 per cent have
seen service In the field, and more
than three quarters have been wounded.
Like the other munition townships
Elizabethvlle Is a product of the war.
"Elizabethville is situated in one of
the beautiful valleys of northern Eng
land. Its population Is entirely Belgian,
and it reproduces as faithfully as possi-
BILE every feature Of Belgian town life
The cottages and all the furniture have
been provided by the Ministry of Num-
tions, and each cottage has a garden at

Girls Would Earn Money

twelve and thirteen years of age and would
IKE you TO suggest some way for US to
make money for babies milk fund Thank
ing you ana hoping you will answer us soon,
as we VIII watch for our answer.
TWELVE GIRLS.
! tried to be very prompt, girls. and
not keep you waiting One way to raise
money would be to have a little fair. at
which things for dolls might be sold
Most of you can sew, l suppose. and
some can knit. Lovely little sweaters
for dolls can be made from bits of left
over yarn and SO can dresses from scraps
OF cloth. Advertise your fair in the
neighborhood by hanging posters around
on the telegraph poles and trees and of
course, tell the little children about it.
You can make the posters out of pictures
Of babies cut from magazine covers and
pasted on white paper that can tell
about what you have to sell and how
much the babies need milk. Some of
your customers will be mothers who
want to buy doll things for their little
girls. but ] would cater lot to the
children themselves. Make everything
| as cheap as you can. Use tables covered
with old sheets for your booths and then
have some flags and pictures of babies
Another way to make money is to
mind babies for mothers while they go
shopping.

Making Potatoes Help

In Belgium potatoes are more than
a food. When soap became unobtainable
Belgium's housewives were in a quan,
dairy as to how to get their laundry
clean until some one discovered that by
letting clothes soak all day in water in
which peeled potatoes had been boiled
and then rubbing them as you would In
lather the clothes would come out
snow-white.
Why not let potatoes help us as they
have the European countries, il not to
launder our clothes at least to take the
place of wheat? The more potatoes we
eat the less wheat we need. A medium
one-half ounces. supplies about as much
starch as two small slices Of wheat bread
one-half inch thick. In other respects,
also the potato measures up we'll with
wheat bread and even has the advantage
over 1t in supplying certain salts which
the body needs to counteract the acidity
resulting from the use Of much cereals,
meat and eggs.
Last year the farmers planted in
creased acreage of potatoes at consid.
now over 10000. 900 bushels of pota toes
in the country waiting to be used II
they are not used and allowed to 60 to
waste there is no reason to believe that
the farmers will be willing to plant
such crop next year. Both to release
more wheat Immediately for those I'm
Europe. then. and also to encourage
the farmers to plant bumper potato
crop for future emergency, we should in
crease our consumption of potatoes now.
Here Is a tested potato recipe. Try II
tomorrow for your country's sake:
Two cupfuls mashed potato
Four tablespoonfuls minced onion.
Two tablespoonfuls green pepper or
pimento.
One-half cupful tomato.
One egg.
One teaspoonful salt
Pepper to taste.
One-third cupful ground peanuts.
Mix the ingredients we'll together.
Turn the mixture into buttered baking
dish. Brush II over with melted butter
or drippings. Bake In a moderate oven
| for twenty-five minutes.

too!
WHEN the letter from the boy in
w khaki comes, mother sometimes
cries over it. Just a little for sheer
joy or pride or excitement or some
thing else. What does dad do? He
takes it to the club and reads 1t
as part of his informal five-minute
talk. There are no tears. Only pride
in his boy But mans heart is very
tender. That's why I wonder If some
body awfully good at writing poems
ought not to steal march on father
some night-not at his club, but when
he's alone-and write us some verse
about him. Who will?
