New York in Small
Town Terms
For the past few weeks, since early in
July, New York housewives have aver
aged a weekly output of about thirty
five hundred quarts of community canned
fruits and vegetables, to provide against
lean pantry shelves the coming winter.
The common kitchen stove, over which
some eight hundred to thousand house
wives gather daily, is in the big red
schoolhouses of the city, forty of them,
all the way from lower Manhattan to
The Bronx, from the East River to the
Hudson, and extending into the borough
of Brooklyn.
The municipal housekeeper who has
loaned the cook stove and teachers to act
as supervisors is the Board of Educa-
ton; the up-to-date substitute for the
wise grandmother standing back Of the
canning kettle is the Bureau of Conser-
walton of the New York State Food Com
mission; the neghborly helpers who have
been at the elbows of the housewives
helping stir the kettle in more ways than
one have been members Of the Federal
Food Council from all over the city. The
Department of Public Markets has
served as neighbor who has sent over
patches Of peas and beans to edo up"
1t has been an interesting experiment
in community housekeeping and in war
conservation. Of all the cities in the
world New York, with its shifting boun-
diaries and it's nomadic living tendencies,
it's unrelated foreign groups each with
it's own Old World habits of homemak-
ing, is the hardest in which to win CO.
operation on any community domestic
endeavor. But the war, with it's COM
mon necessities and common problems, is
drawing New York housewives together.
This year the need to save food has
been even greater than last. Foods to
can are more difficult to get and prices
are higher, all of which tends to make
home canning more costly and uncer-
tain undertaking. The Bureau of Con-
servation, the Food Council and City
Department Of Markets working to-
gether secured the cooperation of the
City Board Of Education to use a certain
number Of the school kitchens as can
ming centres, and $4,000 was voted for
salaries Of domestic science teachers to
supervise the work, plus 81 900 for sup
plies. The Food Commission then agreed
to supply the jars for canning slightly
below cost, and to stand for the break
age, to give the services of six demon
strators to supervise the canning, and
generally to organize and launch the

more she pays the difference. 1t was the
plan of the kitchen to can only one food
a day, and usually this plan is adhered
to, though often a vegetable and fruit
are canned on one day.

BIG FLEET TAKES
TO WATER TODAY

WASHINGTON, July Eighty
nine ships, laundering down the ways
added a new note to the nations
Fourth of July celebration today
It was a note calculated to make
tyrants tremble far more than they
cFer trembled at all the Fourth of
July oratory since 1875 For it is
Americas answer to the threat of
the Prussia migrants to drive civiliza-
ton from the seas.
Although launchings have been go
ing on steadily in scores of shipyards
on every coast Of, the United States
a special effort was made to rush
many SHIPS to completion for today's
big dive, with theunprecedented re-
suit that 81 steel ships and 50 wooden
ones were ready to take the ways this
morning.
1t is possible that from one to five
other ships may be far enough ad-
vanced in construction to be sent into
the water during the day, and if they
are they will be launched, regardless
of the formalprogram
The tonnage scheduled for launch
ing totals 1886.
This IS enough tonnage, the war de-
partment estimates, to maintain 1885,
600 American soldiers at the front,
carrying them food, guns, equipment,
and ammunition from America.
Impressive ceremonies were held at
most 70 the shipyards, as the hulIs
went to the water.
