equal amount of substitutes when order

with the problem Of how To use these new

problem is evident from the attention that
is always given to any discussion OF the
use Of these wheat substitutes, and the
ever increasing number OF recipes for
breads made with the various corn, rye,
barley and other meals and hours
These hot breads use no wheat and viii

The first of a series of monthly meetings

The first of series of monthly meetings
under the auspices of the Bureau OF De-
velopment of the Delaware division OF
the Delaware Red Cross was held at the
New Century Club, yesterday. Dele
gates from nearly all the branches and
auxiliaries In the State were present, and
many other women interested IN the work
of the Red Cross attended both the morn
ing and afternoon sessions.
The meeting presided over by Miss
Emily 2. Blssell, chairman of the Bureau
of Development, opened with statement
of the duties of this bureau, which is re-
sponsiblc for keeping the branches and
auxiliaries IN the State IN close touch with
headquarters; the keeping OF records,
distribution of bulletins. financial and
membership campaigns, promotion OF
classes in instruction, and the securing OF
the fullest possible development of the
activities of the many workrooms.

MANY Women Find War
Work in Hog Island Shipyard
Several Thousand Women Help in the Work of Building
Great Merchant Ships-As Stenographers Clerks Iee-
phone Operators and on the ShPways They Release
Men For the Heavier Work of Shipbuildng.

From the river, Hog Island. the great
shipyard that has risen as if by magic
on the shores of the Delaware lust below
League Island and Fort Miff1in. gives
little evidence that here many women are
working with the thousands Of men IN the
ship-building that Is one of this country 8
most important contributions TO the
winning of the war The shipwavs with
their great derricks and cranes, and the
rapidly growing hulis of the ships seem to
offer no work that is suited 70 women,
and this appears TO be one place where
women must be excluded from taking
part In the war industries that have
sprung up In such numbers IN this section
of the country.
A trip to the yard will quickly show
that there are many places that women
fill acceptably and well, and the ever
increasing number that are employed here
proves that their value is recognized
There are of course great army Of
stenographers and typists, for in plant
30 huge as this many of these specially
trained women are needed TO do the enOr-
nous amount Of clerical work. These
women when they are first employed at
the yard, enter training school, where
they are taught the standard method OF
paragraphing and spacing that Is used
In all departments and from this school
they are sent TO the place where they may
be of the greatest service.
In the accounting department there
are great numbers of women; III one very
large room filled with desks and typists
the work goes on smoothly and quietly.
Here, as elsewhere In the yard the number
OF women employed is increasing rapidly
There is a busy telephone exchange
employing over thirty women, who work
III shifts, and make connections for as
many calls in a day as will supply a moder-
ateiy large city. Telephones are every
where, connecting all departments and
offices, and the service is excellent. The
chief operator III charge of the exchange
was one Of the first three telephone girls
TO go down to the yard last year and she
has watched the wonderful changes that
have transformed the reed filled marsh
into busy shipyard.
EXCELLENT REST ROOMS
AS in all modern plants there are ex-
ceIlent rest rooms for the women en-
ployes. and the Welfare Department
makes every effort to care for the girls
at the plant and to arrange for their wei
fare outside as well if they 50 desire.
Many Of the women have come to Phlla-
delphia from a distance, and as strangers
are most grateful for the assistance that
the well-organized staff of women are
able to give.

with all the best appliances for the care

The shortage of sugar has made It
necessary for the Food Administration
to put the people Of this country on a
sugar ration that Is much below the
amount Of tins food ordinarily consumed.
Our per capita consumption OF sugar
has been one of the highest in the world,
and in the effort to bring tins down IN
order to make supplies available for ship
ment overseas we have been limited
to three pounds month for each person,
and there are rumors that this allowance
may be still further reduced
Fortunately this sugar ratin must be
made to suffice for only the ordinary uses,
and there is an additional supply which
may be obtained in the canning season
for use when fruit is plentiful. This
will assure the conservation for winter
use of the many fruits which form 50
important a part Of the crops OF this SEC
ton of the country.
Even without sugar 1t Is possible To
can fruits, and these may be sWeetened
Just before using, at a time when the
sugar supply will be more abundant.
For use in pies and other desserts these
unsweetened fruits are most desirable,
for it will not be necessary to guess the
amount of sugar that will be needed.
The ordinary recip that call for fresh
fruit will In most cases prove To be correct
since the sugar will all be added at the
one time.

Of the sick or injured there are severa |
nurses; in act women have invaded nearly
all departments in the yard but the kit
chens and restaurants. 1t seems very
strange that this supposedly feminine
occupation should be the one that Is
exclusively in the hands Of men, but this
appears to be the case. IL the great
central kitchens, where all sorts Of good
foods are made and where the dictates
Of the Food Administration are rlgldly
followed all the cooks and helpers are
men And in the numerous caieterIas
where this food is served to the workers,
all the necessary WATERS are men.
NO WOMB COOKS.
IF men have deprived women Of what
would seem TO be their natural occupation
in the shipyard, there Is one place III winch
the women are displaclng men IN work
that has alwa rs belong to men. This
is on the shipWa avs themselves, and IN the
Offices that control the actual work OF the
WAYS. There are but few women here
as vet. but the success Of the first has been
so marked that more will follow these
pioneers
Several years ago when King George
of England was visiting some Of the great
shipyards on the 1yenc, he was surprised
to see a woman in blue oYeralls high up
on the side Of one of the ships busl ~
working a rivet-g.n and riveting IN place
one Of the steel plates that form the hull
This proved to be only a dress rehearsal
for this is not o work that women have
undertaken as yet If il becomes nee
essarv, however, there will be many who
are found willing and able to do even this
heavy work.
WOMEN OK THE WAYS.
AT Hog Island the women on the ways
are to keep track Of the materials as they
come in to the yard, and to order this
material from storage as it Is required on
the ships To do this intelhgently and well
il is necess ry that they know what the
parts are, and that they should be able
10 recognize these parts on the drawings
and on the cars as we'll as on the ships.
TO get this information they are taken
out on the ways and quickly get 10 know
their way about over the ships The
work is most interesting, and the women
who are engaged in its surely have the right
to feel that they are helping win the war
for they release men for the heavier and
equally necessary work IN the building
Of the ships.
From the river side Hog Island seems
to be one great mass Of achlnery;
from the shore side one sees that here
there are thousands of women as well as
men doing their share in building the great
fleets of cargo shi that are necessary
for the successful winning Of the war.
