Elimination of TubercuIous
Animals Is Urged.
Special Correspondence 10 Tar sos

SpecfdI Correspoadence 10 THE SUS,
LONDON, June 30.--A Ministry of Food
memorandum on the milk supply Of the
United Kingdom points out certain de-
fects in the quality and distribution. and
makes suggestions by which these de.
fects may DO remcdiot.
1t appears to be necessary. says the
memorandum, that the Government
should concern itself more closely than
1t has hitherto done with:
The encouragement and improvement
Of milk production.
The ultimate elimination from the
milking herds Of animals suffering from
tuberculosis
The improvement of methods OF col
lection and distribution.
The railway companies should be APP
preached with view to the development
OF facilities for the collection OF milk
and milk products by motor services
feeding the railways. Special accommo-
dalton for milk waiting to be put on rail
should be provided at country stations
from which milk Is consigned In large
quantities. The companies should also
be asked to see that any new milk vans
are built on the best model that can be
devised.
The memorandum includes DR.. Orr's
report on the contamination of milk, and
gives his rough estimate as to how II
takes place. as follows:
A. on the fsrtn, about 40 per cent.
B. On the railway. about 30 per cent.
c. In dealers hands, about 20 per cent

Special Correspondence TO The SUS.
LONDON, June 3o.-Pretty uniforms
for maid servants in London are null
tiplying: there is as great a variety in
them as In women's fashions.
In Harley street one Doctors door Is
opened by q girl in a white linen overall.
Next door the parlor maid has a pale
violet dress and soft frilled apron. In
one house the cook wears pale green,
the housema4d primrose, and the parlor
maid. pink. The colors are their own
choice.
Stiff white collars are disappearing.
The parlormaid is now allowed to be as
comfortable as her mistress, in a soft
turned down collar. Even the mattresses
in one popular tea shop company have
discarded the stiff collar together with
their caps
Women who study dress think the
girls are making mistake about the
caps. They already have been the most
becoming part OF a maids drass.
Many employers are Offering to pro-

tetest In working conditions than the
union leaders did.
In Switzerland Mrs Blatch said, that
she was in conference with a number OF
the women leaders of the Central EN-
pires and that she was gratined to learn
that one women's organization having
some 5000 members through Germany
had protested against the deportation Of
women from the invaded districts and
that one OF the leaders of this move
ment, Frau Heymanns OF Munich. had
been imprisoned for her part in the af-
fair. Frau Heymanns. she said. was
appointed n member of the Central So
Wet OF Bavaria to replace DR.. Augs-
burg, who was stricken i'll from the ef-
fects Of malnutrition.
MaInutrition Apparent.
THE effects OF malnutritlon were very
apparent in all the Germans ] met, and
especially In the Austrian children
saw in Switzerland. where a number of
the children from Vienna and other
cities have been sent. AT finst sight the
children seemed in good health. II was
only when you examined them closely
that you saw that the flush on their
cheeks was q hectic flush and especially
when you examined the tags which each
child wore with his name and age writ
ten on 1t was their condition apparent
The ages on the tags were invariably
several years greater than was to be
expected from the size and development
Of the children"
Mrs. Batch said she found that the
Germans were turning to the women for
aid, even among the reactionary .ele-
ment. iShe instanced the case Of Frau
Heidsieck of Coblenz, who organised the
women OF Coblenz against the Socialists
with suoh success that they cast more
votes than the men and not a single
Socialist was returned from the district
Frau Heidsieck told Mrs. Blatch that
she was quietly organising the women
Of Germany against Bolshevism. ... ,
In England Mrs Blatch said she
found the royal family extremely popu-
lar, much more 80 than they were a
dozen years ago. The Lloyd George
Government. she said. is faced with a
difficult problem In deciding the attitude
to assume on the bill no wbefore Par
lament to restore to labor In the en-
sineerihE trades their pre-war preroga-
tives of limitation OF output and the
exclusion OF women: prerogatives which
they surrendered at the outbreak Of the
war. II the present Government is not
turned out on the housing question or
the land question, Mrs. Blatch expressed
the opinion that the labor problem
would result in change Of Ministry.
