THE PROTEST MOTHERS

The crowd thickened until Annie
showed and proded by matrons twice
and thrice her size, shrank into a
doorway to wait and see if the thing
should not end suddenly as it began,
and her path to the Gubin shop be
opened.
The excitement, however, was not
quite of the casual sort she had seen
before. Like her quarrel with Ber-
ME, it was the bursting forth of many
pent-up grievances. The more they
talked the more their anger grew. A
tornado of rage was soon sweeping
the women out of all self-control. Ear
splitting clamorings in Yiddish and
English dinned through the air. Boys
began to catcall, babies to cry. The
hoarse shouts of hucksters rumbled
through the feminine chorus.
The mob swayed back and forth
FrenZied pushcart merchants strained
to save their property. There was nc

4 Chance TO LiDe---By Zoe Beckley

The maddened housewives raised
shout Of triumph. and several other
carts were willfully pushed over, their
wares trodden viciously in the filth of
the gutter, while the sellers tore their
boards and raised a wall to heaven.
Three policemen, with shouts and
club wavings, sovehd the crowd before
them. Annie saw woman detach
herself from the thick of the press,
spring upon a pile of boxes in front OF
a provision store. Waving her hands
for silence, she began speaking rapid

where var workers were gathered to-
gether and II she could serve good
wholesome meals to the many girls in
government employ who were doing
their bit away from home and If she
could serve them for a moderate price
and not profiteer she might not only
help herself and her family but many
other self-supporting girls just like
herself.
/ She told her plan to the dean of her
college one day and to her surprise
the dean thought 1t a very practical
plan and not an idler's dream at all
In fact she became so enthusiastic
that she started planning with Myra
| just how it could be worked out. Myra
7 said that she thought the capital was
| the best place to start for it was so
overcrowded with war workers that
surely another restaurant would be
paying proposition. The dean then de-
cided that il Myra would bring her a
plan we'll worked out on paper that
she would present it to some trustee
of the college who might be interested
and that some way the money might
not be raised.
Myra was very excited. Her dream
was so uncertain. She spent many
days getting all of her plans on paper
and finally presented them to the
dean. The outcome Of Myra's dream
was small but airy cafeteria in the
heart Of Washington. The man who
backed the proposition bought the
equipment, rented the building space
and forwarded enough money for the
first stock of food He then hired
Myra as general director and manager
on a profit sharing plan. Myra who
did not want to be too indebted to
him insisted that he take out mort
gage on their little farm as sort of
security. Her father was willing and
so it was finally arranged 1t turned
out that the little farm was able to
supply the cafeteria with most of its
Vegetables and all Of its eggs and
chickens before the end of the first
year.
The end Of the first month found
profits in the cash drawer over
which Myra presided for the first year
of her business venture. The cafeteria
continued after the war ended and 1t
is now on its third year. Myra is com
bining her farm and restaurant and
she manages both of them. She has a
> corps Of workers who help raise the
vegetables and fruit for her table and
she has another corps who cook it and
serve it in her sunny little eating
place. She earns an average Of two
hundred and fly dollars month or

twenty-five years old and has just beer
out Of school three years.
She now wants to establish chair
of restaurants in all of the large cities
| in the country and she says the only
) thing which mars her work is the fac
that she can not do all the cookins
herself. She does. however, direct the
making of al of the fancy dishes her
self and she likes that bit of her worl

Myra Presided Over the Cash Drawer
for the First Year.

for the First Year.
When Myra Hill was a small girl she
lived on farm in the country. Her
father was not a great success as
farmer, and so Myra, like most other
little country girls, had many chores
to do, and perhaps the main one was
that of helping her mother in the
kitchen.
All of Myra's little girl friends hat
ed to cook and wash dishes. and
thought Mrya queer because she ad-
mitted she liked to cook. Even My
ras mother thought it rather strange
that her little daughter should pre-
fer to stay in and help with the eve
ming meal instead of running out to
play or reading fairy stories or sew
ing doll clothes.
Her mother found Myras liking for
cooking a great help, however, and
especially in tn harvest time, when
there were many hungry men to iced.
it would have been almost an impos-
sible task if it had not been for her
small daughters help.
Before Myra was sixteen, she had
taken over the kitchen as her own
private domain and she cooked al
most all of the meals in the Hill
household. Her mother helped with
the farm work because the Hills could
not afford a hired man, and SO Myra S
culinary talents were a great asset.
When Myra was eighteen she was
graduated from the country high
school and she was planning TO go to
college to study domestic science and
household administration. Her father
had been more successful when his
wife helped him more, but he still
was in no position to send Myra
through school.
Earned Her Education.
He finally decided that he would
sell part of his farm to get money for
Myra's first year at school and that
he and his wife would turn the re-
mainder into a truck garden and a
chicken farm.
With that he thought he could earn
as much as he had before and per
haps, with concentrated efforts, he
might earn more. Myra was to earn
her own board and clothes and other
necessaries. 1t was rather hard for
her to find work which would enable
her to attend school in the day time
and still give her time to get her
studying done.
She had not been at school q week
before she found the right thing. She
took position as a telephone operator
in a private exchange, where she had
to work from three in the afternoon
until nine-thirty at night The eX-
change was not very busy during
these hours and she usually had time
to do most of her studying while she
worked. For four years she worked
at the same place, and she paid all
her own tuition, her room and her
board and other incidentals.
During her four years at school she
never received more than five dollars
at time from her parents and then
the money usually came as a Christ.

been as successful as he expected
and her mother had not been in good
health.
When the four years of struggle
were over, however, Myra felt that
it was worth while because she was
graduated with a good knowledge of
the theory and practices Of modern
domestic science and household man
agement as we'll as scientific manage
ment of lunchrooms and institutional
dining rooms. Now her one ambition
; was to open restaurant of her own.
She was graduated the year Of the
war and she longed to do something
to help, but it seemed to her that
there was no way that poor girl
who had to support herself and help
support her family could even help in
the war work. Then she hit upon a
plan that seemed to her more like
true, but which would be her first
wish if she could have a wish granted.
Hopes Soon Realized.

Milk 7 vice as Rich
Ever at Your Call-Economical

We take rich milk from high
bred COWS and remove over half
of the water. This is done in a
vacuum, at low heat.
So Van Camps is as thick as
thick cream. You can even dilute it
for coffee or ice cream. For cook
ing, dilute it still further.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-09-08
A Super-Grade

The Van Camp experts have
worked 20 years to produce the
finest milk in America Every
condition has been perfected.
It is condensed in the most scien.
tiic way,
If you use bottled milk, see how
Van Camps excels it. If you use
other evaporated milk, try the
Van Camp grade.
Millions of people have been won
to Van Camps. One trial can will
win you.

Pasteurized Milk

Van Camps is sterilized milk.
1t is sterilized in the can after sealing.
So it means safe milk, a gerrnless
milk for drinking.
1t comes from sanitary diaries,
from inspected COWS. All that
science can do is here done to pro-
tect you.
1t comes from healthy, high-bred
COWS, so the milk is a vitalized
milk.

Reduces Milk Bills

The greatest saving comes in
ending waste.
Open a small can or a large can,
as you need. You never have too
little milk, you never have too
much. And you never have SKIM
med milk. Even for cooking you
can have the full butter fat.
You will have better milk and
lower milk bills safer, cleaner,
richer nilk-when you adopt
Van Camps.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-09-08

There is no better milk produced
in the world than the milk which
you get in Van Camps.
