MEASURES TO BE TAKEN
Washington, Oct. 27.-Meas-
ures to meet the situation which
would result from the threatened
strike of bituminous coal miners
Saturday were considered today
by administration okicials.
No reply from officers of the
United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea to the demand of President
Wilson that the strike be called
off is expected until after the
miners executive committee
meets at Indianapolis Wednes-
day, but meantime officials took
cognizance of the statement Of
union leaders that it would be
physically impossible to with
draw the strike order by Novem-
ber l.
The administration program
for dealing with the strike nat
urally will not be disclosed until
the strike has been developed.
While it is the purpose to
keep "a strong hand" on the rad
icals, officials made it plain that
caution would be exercised not
to antagonize the more conser-
vative elements. In this connec-
tion they said that many Of the
miners demands might be just.
1T is the means they use to
obtain their demands to which
we object" said one high official.
NORTHWEST SUPPLIED
St. Paul, Oct. 27.-Railroads
of the northwest have a coal sup
ply on hand sufficient to keep
the roads running until spring,
regardless of the impending coal
strike, officials in St. Paul said
today.
Only the diversion of the sup
ply to other domestic uses will
interfere with the operations of
the roads in moving food and
other supplies throughout the
region, it was asserted. Pro-
longation of the strike beyond
the winter months, however,
may bring a critical situation, it
was said.

An Unexpected Danger.

Danny Meadow Mouse. swimming
across the Smiling Pool to escape
from Reddy Fox, was worried enough
as he thought how helpless he would
be should Billy Mink or Snapper the
big Swapping Turtle discover him be-
fore he reached the other bank. But
Danny would have been still more
worried had he known of certain
Big Pickerel, which you know is a
kind of fish, who was making his
home in the Smiling Pool.
Now the Big Pickerel lived very
largely on the minnows and other
little fish of the Smiling Pool. but he
was always ready for anything else
been some distance away from where
Danny dived into the water, but he
had heard the splash Danny made. 1t
was different from the splashes made
by the young frogs, and the Big Pick
ere1 knew the difference. He would
have been very glad to get one of the
young frogs. In fact, he could have
told what had become of a good many
young frogs which had disappeared
very mysteriously. But he had paid
no attention to the splashes of the
young frogs when they had divsd into
the water at the warning of Redwing
the Blackbird. You see. he knew all
about frogs, and he knew that they
had dived right down to the bottom
and hidden in the mud.
But this other splash interested
him, and he began to move along in
the direction of it. Now IL he had
hurried in the first place. this. story
might have had very different end
ing. But the Big Pickerel had had a
good breakfast and he was only
mildly interested. So he swan rather
slowly. Danny Meadow Mouse was
almost across the Smiling Pool be-
fore the Big Pickerel saw him. When
the Big Pickerel did see him he quite
forgot that he had had a good break
fast. 1t was seldom that he had the
chance to dine on a fat meadow
mouse, and he could think of nothing
in the world that would taste better.
II he had moved slowly before. now
he shot forward like an arrow.
Grandfather Frog saw him and tried
to warn Danny, but Danny was al
ready swimming as fast as he, could
and all the warnings in the world
couldn't have made him swim any
faster. The Big Pickerers great
jaws, each of which had ever and
ever 50 many sharp teeth. were actu-
ally opening to seize Danny. just as
Danny's feet touched bottom. Just as
Danny scrambled out on the bank.

TESTED METHOD OF
COOPERATIVE COOKING
BY JEAN PRESCOTT ADAMS.


Among the various forms of revo-
lutions we hear Of now is a general
revolt against any unnecessary work
in housekeeping; the abolishing of the
private kitchen is advocated in favor
of some form of cooperative cooking.
There are indisputable facts behind
some of the arguments in favor Of
community kitchens. One is that
there are many women in the wage
and salary earning classes today who
have not the time to cook. The chill
riously badly fed. We must all agree
that the woman who spends several
hours in charity or professional work
outside her home should not be ex-
pected to do family cooking when she
gets home. Very often she does not
know how to do it. for there is no
greater fallacy than the generally ac-
cepted one that all women are born
cooks. We are just beginning to real
fze that cooking is an. exact science,
to be taught and to be learned like
any other branch of knowledge Some
women do not have time to cook. and
a considerable portion does not know
how to cook properly; two excellent
reasons why cooking should be done
by those whose business it is.
There IS also an economic reason
why cooking should be done by ex-
perts. Proportionately, there are few
women today who are taught cooking
in a professional way: as a, rule, these
become teachers. writer's. lecturers or
demonstrators of domestic science. In
the state of Iowa domestic science is
compulsory in all the public schools:
it is taught in other states. but not
in such a way as to reach the great
number of girls who are to be the
homemakers of the country. Most
women today learn their cooking, as
did their mothers before them, by ex-
perimenting with foods. the only diff
ference being that. while once food
was plentiful and cheap in this coun-
try, today we are facing high prices
and a world shortage. Food waste
today is not only a crime toward the
family budget, but it affects the food
supply of the world.
There are two obvious reasons why
the Individual kitchen is wasteful:
D The inexperienced cook will
spoil food. or cook it in such a way as
to curtail it's full nutfitive value.
(2) Food cannot be prepared and
cooked in small quantities as inexpen-
siyely as 1t can be done in large guam
titles.
Admitting these facts, is it neces-
sary to turn to the community kitchen
as an alternative? The community
