hospitality which was manifest

COMMERCIAL CLUB
DENIES OPPOSING
WAGE INCREASES

A rumor in circulation since Satur-
day that "a remonstrance had been
made by members of the Commercial
club to the construction engineer in
charge at the Pennsylvania railroad 8
roundhouse against raising the wages
Of the laboring men, was denounced as
groundless by Secretary Ullman Tues
day.
He said the Commercial club is
working solely for the betterment Of
all Richmond, and since labor. forms
such large part Of the city's interest,
anything which is for the good of one
element is for the good of the city as
a whole.
He went on to say that the Com
mercial club recognizes that the i'm
provement which is one Of the most
important benefits to the city that has
been carried out for some time; that
nine-tenths of the money which Is CIV
en- to the labor in wages is spent in
Richmond and that to complete the
work In 80 days, any wage scale
which the construction engineer may
deem necessary to carry out the work
is entirely matter within the hands
of the railroad officials
Mr.. Ullman, emphatically denies
that members of the Commercial club
had anything to do with such a petit
ton. or even knew of any such a pro-
ceeding.

But Sally refused to be a guest at
the observation camp hospital more
than day. Seeing that to stay would
fret her into more dangerous state
than to go, the head surgeon gave re-
luctant permission and Sally, making
sure that Roger was not on the verge
of death as she had feared, returned
to Shack 3.
DR.. Rolf was no more shocked at
her white and wabbly appearance than
Sally was at his. Her escape was
reflected in anguish upon his face.
The grip of his hands as he met her
was more eloquent of his anxiety at
her danger and his relief at seeing her
back than any words could be.
"Sally-Sally!" 1t was all he said.

were all in chaos. could not have told

Air Raids Send French to Cellar
---Americans Take to Housetops

1When there is an air raid on Paris,
the French take to the cellar, but the
Americans get out on the housetops to
watch it." said Will Jenkins, recently
returned from service in the Friends
Reconstruction unit, in a talk before
the Rotary club at the Arlington hotel
Tuesday noon
Mr.. Jenkins described the work of
the American Red Cross among the
French refugees. The Friends unit
now works under the supervision of
the Red Cross.
The speaker was in the territory
covered by the German offensive of
March 81. He and his companions
were awakened that morning with
the continuous rear Of the huge guns
and they knew the attack was on.
Six men were killed during the first
day, but the Red Cross men stayed
on, until evening. when the assaults
grew SO very hot, as Mr. Jenkins
described it, that they decided they
would have to leave. The Germans
swept through the villa &c only six
hours later.
Herding the terror striker little old
women, and frightened children into
any sort of railway car they could
find, they took the entire civilian
population down to Paris, where Mr.
Jenkins was on night duty in the sta
ton, helping to find cots or even
boards where the destitute refugees
could sleep over night.
Fourteen thousand refugees were
cared for by these Red Cross workers,
Mr.. Jenkins said.

jenkins was able to compare London
with Paris, and says that the condi-

SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY.

Explaining the United States Food
Administration new $3.50 wheat reg
ulations is Il war time task the Ameri'
can grocer has gladly shouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Eood Administration wheat saw
ing pledge cards, that they have sign
ed, agreeing TO carry out the new
wheat program.
Each flour customer Is now requir-
ed to buy one pound of cereal substi-
tute for every pound of wheat flour.
The substitute may be of one kind or
assorted This $3.50 sale is made by
weight and not by value Of the COM
modities. There is. of course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat -four at all.
/ A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal. corn -four,
edible cornstarch. hominy, corn grits,
barley flour, potato -four, sweet potato
-four sOya bean flour, Feterita -four
and meals, rice, rice -four, oatmeal,
rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat flour con
! stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either Of these commodl-
( ties may be sold at the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat hour-
that is, five pounds of graham or
wheat -four counts the same as three
/ pounds of the usual wheat -four.
Mixed flours form another excep-
ton. Where any flour contains so
per cent. or less of wheat it may be
] sold without any substitutes. Where
the -four Is mixed at the rate of GO
, per cent. wheat and 20 per cent of
other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent. of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer
Where necessity is shown specially
prepared infants and invalid's food
containing flour may be sold
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted is fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for a time.
For instance, If customer wishes to
buy "a pound sack of -four the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeal, pounds corn
grits, 4 pounds; rice, pounds; buck
wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, pound;
hominy, pounds; rolled oats, 8
pounds.
None of the substitutes should be
considered as waste purchase.
There are many household uses for
each, The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made into cornbread, corn muf,
fins or used in the baking of wheat
bread
Cornstarch Is useful in making Gus,
tard, thickening gravy or may be used
In cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms delicious dish, or 1t may
be used in baking corn bread Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast por.
! ridge or in oatmeal cookies or in
making mullins.
Buckwheat flour may be used in
| bread making, forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
| wheat flour, but is especially choice in
the form Of buckwheat cakes for
| breakfast.
With IL wheatless meals needed
each week in America to provide
enough wheat for the allies, the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.
