WOMEN ARE GOOD MECHANICS.

According to a report of the national Industrial
conference board, women in wartime employment
are showing a remarkable adaptability for ma
chine shop work, The report summarizes infor-
nation obtained from 131 establishments employ
ing 335,O15 men and 1928 women end including
1867 women engaged in work formerly per-
formed exclusively by men.
Their labor, says the Christian Herald, has
ranged from the operation of drill presses and
lathes to coremaking, inspecting and assembling
mechanical products and performing many pre-
else machine operations. In the main 1t has been
confined to the lighter processes requiring rapid
ity and dexterity, and in such work their output
has proved equal to and frequently greater than
that of male employees. This was notably true

in a munition plant manufacturing fuses, where
women operatives on drill presses and milling
machines were from % to 20 per cent more rapid
than men.

Housewives Are Urged to PraG-

Meals for Family.
entire MEAL IN OVEN
Compartment Vessel Which Enables
One to Cook Two or Three Vege-
tables over One Burner Is
Worthy of Attention.

It is just as much a patriotic serv-
ice for you to save fuel as to save
food. War activities call for great
usual demand. To make this supply
available every American must save.
A little thought in the planning of
your meals, with the saving of fuel in
view, will make it possible to save an
appreciable amount each day.
Utilizing the Flame.
For the woman who cooks with gas
or liquid fuel, many economies are
practicable. The purchase of a COM
partment vessel which enables one to
cook two or three vegetables Over n
burner is a worthwhile economy,
since the gas from one burner cooks
the food ordinarily requiring three
burners. Or if you have a colander
or a wire basket that fits over an or
binary kettle you car steam such vege-
tables as squash, peas or carrots over
the kettle in which the potatoes are
boiling.
Remember that when the flame
spreads up around the side of the
vessel you waste gas. Turn down the
flame after the boiling point is reached,
for the potatoes will not cook any
more quickly in water that is boiling
fast than IN water that is boiling
slowly.
The greatest amount of gas wasted,
however, is by the indiscriminate use
of the oven. Too often the oven is
lighted to bake a single dish when by
a little careful planning the whole
dinner can be baked by the heat ex-
pended upon one dish.
Three Fuei-Saving Dinners.
Here are three dinners planned to
utilize the heat of the over to the
best advantage, all the hot dishes of
which may be baked at the same time.

Peppers stuffed with Rice and Cheese.
Bake Potatoes. Baked Onions.
Corn Dodgers. Butter.

III.

Peaches.

It may not always be convenient to
have such a baked dinner, but If you
do light the oven to bake cake or even
quick bread, think ahead far enough
to have some sort of fruit or pudding
ready to put in the oven for use at a
later meal. If such care is used 1t
may prove better economy to make
frequent use of the oven.
Save Time as Well as Fuel.
Another way to save fuel Is the use
of the ireless cooker for meat, cereals,
and some vegetables. The main point
in the conservation of fuel In cooking
is planning ahead how to make the
best use Of the smallest amount of
fuel. A meal cooked with the aid of a
f~ireless cooker must be planned ahead,
for time is required for this type of

SINGLE SHOES NOW SOLD IN LONDON.

One of the many pathetic side lights on our
war is reflected in advertisements published by
British shoe merchants, which WILDLY impress
upon one's mind the sacrifices that many of our

OF the western front, London dealers In mems
footwear now sell single shoes for one-half the

sauerkraut Is in Season.

Attempts have been made to keep
popular the tasteful and popular dish
of sauerkraut by changing the name
to Liberty cabbage. But if the rose
will smell as sweet by any other name,
so will sauerkraut taste as good to
many people whether its name be
changed or not.
The essential points to make
good kraut are the use of mature,
sound cabbage, scrupulous cleanliness
throughout the process, n proper
care of the surface of the brine after
fermentation is completed.
In making sauerkraut for home pur-
poses the outer green leaves of the
cabbage should be removed, just as
in preparing the head for boiling. In
addition, all decayed or bruised leaves
should be discarded and the core re
moved. If an instrument for this purS
pose is not available, it is advisable
to quarter the heads and Shoe off the
part of the core remaining on each
quarter. The cabbage should be
shredded by one of the Misunderstanding
machines sold upon the market for
such purposes, or, If one is not avail
able, the heads may be cut into thin
slices with a slaw cutter or a large
knife,
The shredded cabbage should be
packed Immediately into a perfectly
clean, ~water-tight receptacle, such aei
a cider or wine barrel, keg, or tub. A
1t is packed into the receptacle add
salt in the proportion of one pound of
salt to forty pounds of cabbage, dis
tributing it evenly throughout the cab
bage. Experiments have shown that
approximately two and one-half
pounds of salt to each one hundred
pounds of shredded cabbage give the,
best flavor TO the resulting kraut.
When the barrel or crock Is nearly
full, the cabbage should be pressed
down as firmly as possible and COW
cred with a clean board cover. 1t is
advisable, but not essential, that clean
cloth be placed over the cabbage be-
fore the cover is put into place The
salt soon extracts q considerable
amount of the cabbage juice from the
cabbage, and a sufficient weight Of
clean brick or stone should be added
to cause the brine to rise up to the
wooden cover. Set the container aside
until fermentation is complete and

AMERICANS BUYING DIAMONDS.

Among facts disclosed In the Investigation con-
Quoted by the council Of national defense to learn
the buying trend in civilian trade during the war
are q decided increase In sales of small diamonds
and a falling Off in sales Of sizes from one-half
carat upward. This is attributed to the great
Increase in price and the tendency of people to
buy diamonds by price alone; that is, they have.
perhaps, $T5 or 500 TO put In a stone, and 1t

amount would procure a year or two ago.
Watches are In great demand, especially wrist

1t is the ambition of most sea cooks to get on a
big ship. In wartime, cooking on the smallest
vessel is an essential calling, but the big vessel
with Its modern equipment and efficiency organl-
zauon appeals strongly to the type of young man
now taking up sea cooking for Uncle Sam.
The large vessels carry several cooks. A 5000
ton freighter has a chief cook, a second cook, who
Is also baker, and a third cook, or cooks mate,
The chief cook is usually the meat cutter also,
and In these times scientific meat cutting, as well
as cooking, is required on the merchant fleet and

Winning this war is a matter of
money. When you buy Liberty
Bond it means money for the United

100000. About 6,O0o,00O,OoO of this
must be raised by loans and $S,O00,-
100000 by taxation. If we do not raise
this money, the United States treas

is lost. If the war is lost, democracy
is lost-the world is lost
Thus we get some idea Of what
each individual must do. He must
save, do without luxuries, he must get
along with what he has rather than
buy things that are not absolutely nee

which are of productive value. He
must simplify and cheaper his diet.
In short, he must in every possible
way use for his own comfort as little
of the nations labor, time, and eff

plan and the cooperation of every
member is earnestly sought to make
this possible Each President is asked
to enroll as many members OF her
division as she possibly can in this
Funeral Benefit Fund. The require
ments for membership are: Each
member will be required to make
contribution of $500 per year to the
Fund-the amount to be paid on the
death of a member to be $25O.O0 For
the period Of one year, or from Oc
tober 1, 1918, to October 1, 1919, all
benefit members now enrolled in the
ranks of the Ladies' Auxiliary, re
CARELESS of age, shall have the privi
lege of joining the Volunteer Funeral
Benefit Fund. In this way we hope
to take care of the good Sisters who
have been in the ranks of our work
ers since the beginning of our or
ganization and who are now over the
age. It will not be necessary for any
lady who is now member to pass
Medical examination before Joining
the Funeral Benefit Fund, but new
members joining after October 1, 1918
who wish to join this Fund must pass
doctors examination. No benefits
will be paid until each member is {
member of the Fund for six months
and Mrs. Adelia Christy, your Ma

acting Secretary of the Fund-she is
to serve without pay until the next

Overcoming bigotry, like cultivating
charity, begins at home, as will be
seen from the following letter writ

In his article in America for August

ITO Catholic his creed is of para
mount influence in his life. But news

Ryan and Stettinius, carefully omit
such mention, although I feel certain
that they would proclaim their Mason

When Mr.. Muttkowski says that he
feels certain" that the newspapers
would proclaim the Masonic affinities
Of Schwab, Ryan and Stettinius If
they possessed such, he shows how
little he knows of the rules of metro
politan Journalism. If the United
States calls man to post of honor
and responsibility there is absolutely
no news or Importance attached to
the fact that that man is a Catholic
or a Methodist, a Mason or a Knight
Of Columbus. Charles M. Schwab, for
instance, would be the last man in
the world to proclaim his Catholicism
from the housetops. Why, then, should
the newspapers do it for him?

it is matter of interest to a wide
number of readers.
In the published accounts of big
events involving the life and progress
Of the Church, the daily newspapers,
almost without exception, are lavish
in their praise and space. This is
done, not because the editor has an
extraordinary affection for the Church,
but rather because the trained mind
of the newspaper man puts real news
value on such events and handles them
accordingly.
The foregoing assertions are based
on knowledge gained during a pc
riod of twenty years of active service
in various Offices of metropolitan
newspapers. During those twenty
years I never saw a managing editor
