Question Suggested by the Shortage of

suffering from the servant famine. French
households are as helpless as our own be-
fore la question DIES domestiques. Paris
ians flock to the hotels and restaurants,
while the kitchens are untenanted.
This situation has brought to the front
the community kitchens which were wide
ly tried in England during the war. These
were not soup kitchens or bread sta
tions,' but were self-supporting, democ-
ratio institutions owned by the communi-
ties and patronized by all classes. They
were not like restaurants or cafeterias,
for in most cases the food was taken home
by the patrons, who brought their own
containers Some of these kitchens de-
| livered the food to the homes or distrib-
uting stations.

ously tried in the United States in New

and Germany than in this country. The
community kitchen in Carthage was oper-

RAILROADS SHOWED
SURPLUS FOR JULY
A Net Gain of 100000 Compared
with S22,031 900 Deficit in June
May Lose It Later.

WASHINGTON. Sept 3.-For the
first time in many months, government
operation of the railroads in July
showed a surplus instead of a deficit
Director General Hines announced
yesterday that preliminary figures of
the month S business indicated net OPP
Grating income of $1,000 600. After
allowing one-twelfth Of the annual
rental due the railroad companies the
net gain is about $2000,O00, as com
pared with deficit of 500, OBI 900 the
preceding month, and 500 100000 in
February, the largest deficit of the
year The net loss to the government
for seven months is 1920, 526,307
In calculating the surplus, however
no account was taken of the wage in
crease offered the shopmen, which has
not been accepted by them. 1t has been
estimated that the four cents an hour
advance would amount to about 49,.
100000 year. AS it is retroactive
the surplus for July may become de-
felt of approximately the same
amount. f
Mr. Hines pointed out that the fall
ing off in freight business continued to
be big factor in the railroad admin,
istration s finances, although business
has grown steadily since February. As
compared with July, 1918, the decrease
] in operating income was about A pei
cent.
/ The freight traffic was about % pei
cent larger than the average July o.
the three-year test period, on which
the returns to the roads are computed
but expenses were greater, the increas,
amounting to 100000 or about 81
per cent, much of it in wages. Passen
