lessons From Our Foreign Women in Cooperative Buvine

Abroad the men (wcrc they less chiv-
alrous or were they more understand
ing?) took the women in on their CO.
operative plans In Finland the women
as we'll as the men sit on the board Of
directors and the store is stocked by a
group of people who have the benefit Of
women's judgment. In England every
cooperative store has its women's guild
and the men will all tell you it is one of
the greatest assets in the success of
their cooperatives, which now do nearly
a billion dollars worth Of business a
year
1t was the same way in Canada.
George Keen, one of the leaders in the
Canadian cooperative movement, held
up a warning finger at the National Co.
operative Convention and told the men
with smile that they would never get
the best results out Of the cooperative
movement until they had every woman
of their families in the business "The
women's guilds connected with the Eng
lish and Canadian cooperative move
ment are as much Cor more) of force

Pie Crusts and Sugar
in War Times

Pastry made wholly or partly of wheat
substitutes will help solve the flour qucs-
ton, and brown sugar, maple sugar and
moasses can be almost entirely subst-
tuted for white sugar.
Some of the new war recipes for pastry
will serve cXcellently for top crusts of
these apple dishes. Rice flour pastry
after this recipe is especially successful:
Two thirds cup rice flour, one-third cup
wheat flour, two teaspoons baking powder,
onc-quarter to one-thrd cupful shorten
ing, ice water to make soft dough-
Silt together the dry ingredients three
times, cut the fat into them. and add the
water slowly in order to avoid getting
the dough too moist
Corn and wheat fours or wheat, bar
ley and corn fours in equal parts are
both successful combinations. One to two
teaspoons Of baking powder, half tea
spoon of salt, one-fourth to onc-third cup
of fat are about the proportions of the
ingredients used for each cup of flour
mixture.

room over the store, she saw the women
putting up peaches for the cooperative.
Each afternoon a group of women were
coming, one group one day, another the
next, to aid the store project by cooper
atlve canning. That is the spirit that
wins.
What are you doing to help along the
big cooperative movement which means
not only saving Of millions of dollars
to everyday people, but a happier and
more democratic community life? If
you belong to buying club you can
make 1t wonderful success if you will.
Remember this. The best results always
come from building up group spirit. Get
the women in your apartment house to
join your club. Get them TO ask their
friends. Take turns in keeping open
house one afternoon a month for all the
cooperators in your house or in your
block. Have some one to tell Of the
progress of cooperation in different
countries and communities. Some OF
the stories run like happy fairy tales.
The Tribune will tell you where to gel
the material for these talks. Keep
things going. You will enjoy it and
you will not only profit, but you will be
learning the real facts back of high food
prices, exchanging fruitless, irritable re-
sentiment for fruitful understanding and
helping your community to solve one OF
its most difficult problems.

" yOMEN are just waking up to
w the power Of cooperation.
Women got into the movement
long time ago in England and in Can
ada. Was it part of the American mans
idea of chivalry, his desire to do every
thing for US, that when he and his
friends got together to organize a CO.
operative store the women were usually
left at home? Wasn't it naive of them
to leave US out of something that is dis
tinctly our job? Fancy a lot of men
twithout grocer's training, even COM
ing together to decide what foods they
would carry in stock and what brands.
Then their wives whom they urged to
patroniZe the cooperative store which
they had stocked for them, would
patronize the place-for while But
when it came to not finding the particu-
lar brand of gelatine they had always
used and knew to a nicely how it woulo
"set," and not getting the kind Of syrup
they liked, and the baking powder that
acted like magic, they developed very
definite opinions about the absurdity of
cooperative stores And as they passed
cups of second-rate coffee to their hus-
bands C''they simply couldn't make it
taste like the coffee they were used to-
they would refer to the whole project a>

SPEAKING OF APPLE PIE

TOW many people never cat the

many who do wish they hadn't?
Too often this crust is soggy or tough
and either remains on the plates to he

gcston. poor use this for wheat and
fat, both vitality needed to save life.
The natural remedy for this wide
waste would be to bake pies with only top
crusts or rims and latticed strips of
crust and to do away with the bottom
crust unless it is first baked until crisp
before the pie filing is added. In that
case top crust is not needed. One
crust to a pie, and that on top, would
save much flour, for pie is one of our

The Scope
Of the School

The school does not claim to be a
school of domestic science; it does not
give Il girl a profession by means of
which she can earn her living; in fact,
as | have said, it is not intended for those
who are obliged to earn their own living,
but it gives its students a thorough
knowledge Of the various branches of
housework and of the principles that gov
ern the management of a home While
this is primarily the object for which the
school was founded, it's director has a
wider vision of the enterprise, She sees
the relationship of the home to tho
community and the part which it must
play in our civic life, and therefore she
includes a comprehensive course in what
she is pleased to call Social civcs."
The regular course of the Hons
Efficiency School is covered IN one school
year, that is, from October to May.
During this period the student is trained
in many branches of housekeeping and
home making, and at its close she goes
forth with some insight into almost any
domestic probleA that is apt to arise
