Mrs. S. J. Ellis,

Candidates of the Citizens league
made a fine impression at CASTOR park
Monday night. when the first rally OF
the campaign was held They spoke to
an audience of about $50, gathered
around the band stand, and their
frankness and evident sincerity won
them applause for every telling point
they made.
There was no oratory, ,Ist plain
matter. Of fact presentation OF the is
sues OF the campaign, which each can
did0te from Rowlett Paine to Charley
shannon, said were whether the peo-
pie OF Memphis shall be served for
four years from next January by men
who propose to make their watchwords
efficiency and economy or by poliu-
clans who win promise anything, ex-
cept that they'll never run for office
again.

Mr.. Chandler spoke briefly, outlining
the method by which the Citizens
league was organized and by which the

WITH THE WOMEN=

Mrs. Eugene T. Senseney IL one of
the many women who has won an in
teresting place for herself during these
war years. And although her work is
very progressive and a branch of gov
eminent work it is essentially a wom-
ans job. She has been director of
educational and community service for
the food administration and Is now d.
rector of community kitchens. All of
which means that she has the pob Of
establishing and directing public
kitchens which are built for the pur-
pose of helping the women who must
work during the daytime.
Some women find it hard to direct
their own small kitchen and those
will appreciate the scope Of Mrs. SEN
seney's work, who directs not one but
many, and not small home kitchens,
but large ones which supply whole
communities. She has studied thor
oughly the demands of each locality
and when she establishes her kitchens
she takes into consideration the ma
tionality which prevails in that dis
trict and serves their particular kinds
of food. For instance, kitchens in
Italian districts serve Italian dishes
and those in Hungarian or Polish To-
calities serve Hungarian and Polish
foods. Just as the day nursery cares
for the working woman's children for
a small sum, so the community kitchen
does her cooking for a nominal fee.
At present Mrs. Senseney is In
France establishing and directing
community kitchens for refugees and
| factory workers.
