The birth anniversaries of Mr.. F
NJ. Frey and Mr.. d. NJ. Cavaness both

ebrated at a. dinner given Thursday

with green tulle held similar flow
ers. The soft light OF yellow can
dies added to the charm Of the ap.

The guests found their dinner part
ners by matching ST Patrick caps,
and each guest was given a rhyme
which when later read aloud over
the coffee cups, told incidents in the
lives Of Mr. Frey and Mr.. Cavaness.
Irish flags decorated the dessert, and
with this course two large birthday
cakes were brought in. one bearing
thirty three, the other forty-one light
ed candles, and were set before Mr.
Cayaness and Mr. Frey, who cut
them.
At the close of the dinner. Mr. Hut

WORK-ROOMS OF WOMEN
At BAGN| d LUCIA

Bagni di Lucca. Aug. 24-In the
great spacious living room OF one of
the handsomest villas of this Italian
summer resort, numbers of women.
refugees from the invaded districts,
have found congenial labor and the
means of earning small livelihood
during the time of their tragic sepa-
ration from their homes. These are
only a few of the many helpless and
needy people who have been aided
by the generosity of two American
women, who, as American Red Cross
workers. are giving their lives to the
alienation of Italy's suffering.
They are Miss Rose Cleveland. the
sister OF the late President Cleveland,
and Mrs. Evangeline Whipple. the
widow of the celebrated Bishop Whip
pie. Among their other activities they
nave established a school for girls.
where more than sixty children, out
casts from their own dwellings inside
he battle lines, can go on with their
education. These two Americans have
also turned the halls of their own
villa into work rooms for hospital
supplies, for clothing for the families
of soldiers. and for refugee women
and children.
Above all. they have given their
own time and funds freely to the task.
The neat sewing aprons which the
refugee women wear In these sunlit
parlors where they work, as well as
almost all their clothing, have been
made In the work rooms-and gar
naents have also been supplied at a
nominal cost to most OF the other
profughi who are engaged In other
occupations, and with whom the en-
tire village In filed.

Canning--By All Means.

1t is the policy of the food admins
tration to encourage home canning
without the use of sugar whenever
possible--but canning. by all means!
The largely increased foreign demands
just made upon our sugar supply do
not give us the amount for this pur-
pose that we had anticipated; but
under any circumstances sugar used
in preserving goes further than in any
other form for bodily requirements.
Skillful housewives will find little
difficulty in taking care of their fruit
now without sugar and then adding II
later when it will be more plentiful.

Good Egg Campaign.

The good-egg campaign of the
United States food administration Is
bearing fruit. and bad eggs are as
scarce as hens teeth in many sections
of the country In former years the
hot summer months have witnessed
Losses OF about rs per cent of all eggs
marketed.
The rigid rules laid down for the
Gambling of eggs on June have pro
vtded a safeguard which has reduced
Losses to an astonishing amount. One
company IN Tennessee reports that
the quality OF eggs which It handled
In the first ten days OF June showed
q marked Improvement and that 1t
looks forward to a virtual elimination
of loss from spoiiage.
Prior to June they had been losing
about twenty-one eggs in every case.
AT the time OF their report this loss
had been reduced to an average OF
four. TO each case.--Bakers' Review.

LIFE OF GENERAL PERSHING

great artillery preparation before
such an attack made the action one
of complete surprise to the Germans,
and their artillery reaction was weak.
In the short space of six hours as
much territory was retaken as the
Germans had spent six days in cap
turing. Twelve towns were taken by
the Americans. and 5000 prisoners
Great quantities Of military supplies
and important plans fell into their
hands. for their advance had been so
rapid that the Germans had not
time to remove these before the AM
orleans were upon them.
General Pershing had begun to
make his presence felt upon the
western front. A signal victory had
marked the entrance of the Stars and
Stripes in the first battle of import
ance in which it had appeared.
Up to this time the German kaiser
and his commander had belittled
the effect the entrance of the United
States would have on the ultimate
outcome of the war. Now they had
tangible proof that America was not
only in tho war, but in the war to
win.
Not longer could the kaiser keep
from his subjects the fact that Am
erican forces were in the battle and
that they were there in mum bers
large enough to turn the tide Of bat
tie against that perfect military ma
chine which the German people had
been taught to believe could not be
beaten. The Germans had been told
that their redoubtable warriors could
force the issue and a, favorable peace
before Pershing could put enough
trained men in the field to turn the
tide. Here was a. time when this con-
fdence would be shattered.
Germany was on the verge of a
collapse. The only thing that pre-
vented this was a. carefully fostered
confidence in ultimate victory. With
this confidence gone, it was believed
that shortly the great Teutonic en-
pire would crumhle internally from
the pressure applied by America and
her allies.
General John J. Pershing was Civ
en- the Grand Cross of the Order of
the Bath by King George of Eng
land on July II, ! 1918. This most
signal distinction was concrete evil
dence of the recognition Of his serv-
ices by the British government. 1t
is doubtful, however, if General
New Britain herald., 1918-11-01

Pershing appreciates this distinction
as much as he did the winning Of the
life of George Washington at the
school contest of his boyhood days
nearly fifty years before.
Ever since that time he has been
working for something definite. He IS
working for something definite now.
His task is of broader scope than
was that of our first president, Wash
ington. Washington was the builder
the founder of his country; he was
working for the freedom %of that
country. Pershing. today is working
for the freedom of the world.
