PRAISE FOR WOMEN

"Our hats are off to the women
we recognize them as our superiors."
This confession was made by Colo
mel l.. ]. Magill, chief of the Depart
ment of Features of the Philadelphia
Victory Liberty Loan Organization, in
conversation with some women work
ers.
Colonel Magill, who in directing the
activities of a regiment of Marines
has never relaxed from a stern mill
tary bearing, was all modesty and
humility in facing these women who
have proven themselves real soldiers
in the Loan brigade.
81 must admit" he said, that l ig-
nored the women in my first calcula-
lions for this Victory Loan program.
I had been used to thinking that only
men could perform any accomplish
ments worth while. But in the brief
time that | have been on this work,
I have been confronted with such
striking evidence of female igenuity
and aggressiveness that 1 have expert
enced a right-about-face. From now
on, the women are our bosses. They
are closer to the people from whom
the smaller Loan subscriptions are to
be expected than are the men. They
are impelled by a more earnest deter
mination. They are full of ideas, and
are always willing to give the time to
bring their ideas to consummation.
They are the backbone of the entire
organization, and will receive credit
for the major part of the results Sc
cured"

AFTER BOND SHARKS

Bond scalpers and swindlers who
induce the public to give up govern
ment securities for worthless stocks
of the 'hy-by-night" variety are to
be put out of business by the United
States Federal Trade Commission, CO.
operating with the Department of
Justice, the Victory Liberty Loan
Committee of the War Loan Organi-
cation and other governmental agen-
cies.
Albert e. Turner, chairman of the
Brokers' Committee for the Victory
Liberty Loan and of the Business De
velopment Committee of the Philadel-
phia Stock Exchange, is making a
survey of fraudulent and questionable
bond operations in the Third Federal
Reserve District.
Since these committees started a
campaign a few weeks ago some of
the more cautious scalpers and swindl-
ers have stopped trying to reach the
bond owners by displaying adyertis-
ing. But according to Mr.. Turner
they are still attempting to do bust
ness by mail and by telephone solicit
tation of prospective victims.
"It is planned to protect buyers of
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Certif-
Gates and Thrift Stamps from unfair
practices and Misrepresentation of
scalpers," said Mr.. Turner. Most
scalpers are operating among the
poor. BY various Misrepresentation
they induce bond holders to sell $50
securities for $40 and even, in some
instances, as low as S25.
1.-The greater number of the scalpers,
however, are satisfied with a smaller
profit on each transaction and a large
volume of business. They do business
in many instances without being re-
ported because they offer the market
price of he bond, minus a fee, and
without interest. The bond seller is
entitled to the proportion of interest
due on his bond at the time of the
sale. Many of them do not know this
and thus the scalper adds to his
profits
The campaign against the scalpers
and swindlers will include advertising
posters warning against them. to be
posted in industrial establishments.
The Foreign Language Division of the
Victory Liberty Loan Committee is
now making arrangements to have
such posters printed in various Ian
guages so that the warning will reach
all bond buyers.
According to Mr.. Turner, the scalp
ers and swindlers could all be put out
Of business in short order if every
holder of a bond would ask the So
licitor to submit his proposition to
any bank, trust company or reputable
broker, or to the Victory Liberty Loan
Committee.

AN EXAMPLE

Devotion to the country of
her adoption. as shown by a
Philadelphia girl who ten
years ago immigrated from
Armenia, is held as an ex-
ample to those who will be
called upon to subscribe to the
Victory Liberty Loan. This is
what she wrote to the Victory
Loan Committee;
Reading the newspaper to-
night, / saw that you wanted
helpers to help you of the Vic
tory Liberty Loan. I am will

Tomatoes Should Be
Plentiful in Gardens

There is probably no single gar
den crop SO easily Grown and
ply of canned goods as the tomato.
Therefore, in the face of the high
prices of canned and uncanned food,
more attention should be given to
this valuable crop to porvide for an
abundant supply for the home and
local market. Successful tomato
gorwing is largely dependant upon
judicious soil selection and fertilizer
application, according to the extern
sion service horticulturists.
Soil requirements for this crop
are practically the same as for other
garden crops, the well-drained gar
den loan soil being best.
Tomatoes require a relatively low
per cent of nitrogen as compared
with that Of phosphoric acid and
potash, both of which are essential
in fruit development. Commercial
fertilizer should be applied in the
drill, at the rate of 600 to 1000
pounds per acre, and thoroughly mix
ed with the soil before the plants
are set Nitrate of soda is recon-
be applied at the rate of TO to 100
pounds per acre. Excessive applica-
ton of stable manure is not advis-
ed, as it may prove harmful to fruit
formation and development.
Under such conditions, training to
single stakes and pruning is advis-
ed; however, this is impractical on
an extensive scale and is only rec
commended to the intensive garden
err. The single stem method allows
more plants per acre, but a smaller
per cent of fruit per plant, though
this is of higher quality than that
allowed to ripen on the ground. In
this method, the plants are set in
rows three feet apart and 10 inches
in the drill, and pruned to a single
stem. The suckers are produced in
the axis of the leaf and should be
removed when small. The fruiting
branches are produced between the
leaves and may be easily distinguish
ed from the suckers.
