Home Economics Course at
Washburn to Be a Feature.
Cooperate With the Govern
ment in Food Conservation.
ELSIE JONES HEADS WORK
Appointment of New Faculty
Members Announced Today.
Miss Jones Took Columbia
Training Under Daisy Monroe.

The new department of home econ
omics which has been added to Wash
burn college in the last year, will be
in charge of Miss Elsie Jones this
year. The department was created at
years work is expected to start out
with a large enrolment and with stu
dents who will major in that course.
Miss Jones took her training at
Columbia university. New York. She
has her NJ. A. degree from that insti-
tuition. having graduated last spring.
She received her B. A. degree from
the Emporia college, Emporia, Kan,
and afterward took some work in
Home Economics. before entering
Columbia.
Washburn, she will conduct the cafe
terra which is maintained at Rice hall
The home economics laboratory of
the college is in Rice hall, and is well
equipped. having had some recent re-
modelling work done for this years
work. The cafeteria serves about fifty
students every day during the school
year.
r. The government has asked that all
school carrying domestic science de-
partments to put into the courses a
good deal of war emergency work,
such vegetable and fruit canning,
substitutes for certain kinds of foods,
etc. At Columbia last year, a large
portion of the class work in household
economics was devoted to the war
emergency work.
Course in Cooking.
Miss Jones has arranged for
course in fundamental principles in
cookery with lectures and laboratory
work: application of cookery princi-
pies: preparation and serving OF
meals; cookery for home makers, and
food problems. with lectures required
for students majorins in the nome
economies department.
This course will include studies In
chemistry and other sciences. and viii!
give credits toward the degree OF
bachelor of science which Washburn
confcrs. The study i'icludes nutrition,
diatetics, relative foo6 values. etc.
Home economics courses, Miss
Jones said today. ARE new in the
smaller colleges, especially in this part
of the country. Where such courses
have been introduced they have been
used by the students chiefly in prep
aration for home making, rather than
in preparation for professional life as
a teacher or other career outside of
home making. I hope to have in my
classes, girls who will take the ad-
v1nccd work and ma jor in this de-
Tartment. The special need for public
workers in branchs OF food conserva-
tion on account of the war, has
brought the study of domestic science
and the study of foods before the
minds of the women of the country.
and it has opened many positions to
them in which such special training Is
essential"
Miss Jones, formerly of Emporia, Is
making her home in Topeka, with the
Jones family of 223 Woodlawn avenue,
Potwin. In Columbia she took part OF
her work under Miss Daisy Monroe of
Topeka who taught experimental
cookery in the university before she
went into government work in food
conservation in New York.

washington Aug. 1S.-Bitterness

by bands of peasants who endeavor to

will not be successful in getting food

Ukraine or in securing forces for fight

troops for a Ukraine army and is said
to have approximately 100000 men.

Lenine and Trotzky would b. the first
step toward a solution of the problem,

However, His Punch Is Not Iet

With the British Armies in France,
Aug. II (night).-Von Hindenburg
today is face to face with a poser.
Can he maintain himself on his pres
ent lines or will he be forced to beat
an undignified retreat along the lines
over which the French and British
pushed him in 1917? And can he hope
ever to assume the offensive again, or
must he from now on act purely on
the defensive?
Whole Army Upset
Foch and Haig, by the battle of
Amfens, plainly have given him a hard
nut to crack. Prisoners Just taken
readily admit the Germans will be nm
able to resist further in their present
positions. They declare the battle of
the Marine had a demoralizing effect
on the whole army, while the entrance
OF the Americans lis regarded with
dismay."

to this depression. The feeling is
gradually spreading that Germany has

May Choose to Shorten Line,
The fifth month of the present
ghtfng season was near its end when
ha1g struck Thursday. German divi-
sions in reserve on the whole west
front were very low. I should CAL
culate there were not over forty (prob-
ably 100000 men, Since Thursday
some ten of these have been Identified.
Yet as a result of Won Hindenburg's
half successful blows, two large sa-
lients remain to be held. The cost of
holding them is huge, as the allied
guns pound ceaselessly day and night
just as they pounded the old Somme
lines, which became untenable. Ow-
ing to heavy losses which are dwin-
ding their army, the Germans may
find 1t necessary not only to remain
on the defensive but to shorten their
line in order to maintain a sufficient
number of reserves to hold even this.

AMERICANS QUIET
Yanks Hold Their Lines on
Picardy Battle Front.
Germans Are Bringing Up Re.
Inducements From East.
tBy the Associated Press,

With the American Army in France,
Aug 10 G1:S0 a. m.)-Allied forces
holding their new Inns gained in the
second battle of the Somme, improved
their positions, beat off a few feeble
counter attacks and increased the
number of their prisoners last night
and this morning. In the meantime
the enemy appears to be moving in a
considerable number of troops. Quite
heavy movements westward are re-
ported by aerial observers, but no
really great force remains available
for Crown Prince Rupprecht to throw
into the battle without calling on the
German crown prince for assistance.
Provart remains firmly in the
hands of the British this morning,
having been finally taken by them
yesterday. North of the Somme the
Americans spent quiet night, the
principal action in this locality being
at the southern end of their position
on the spur between Etinehem and
Bray. There the British improved
their positions along the whole length
of the spur by storming-and capturing
enemy defenses. inflicting casualties
and taking prisoners.
