OF course there has never before been
q war in which the S. o. S. was as inn
portant as the fighting force, the mel
behind the ines nine times more numer-
Gus and quite as necessary as the men
at the front 1t is for this reason that
women have been an integral part of
the armies. 1t is for this reason that
the American army has included Wom-
IN as we'll as men.
The American army brought over
seas several hundred women for teie-
phone service. More than one general
has exclaimed, ''Thank God for an
American telephone girl when he
wanted a message to go through swift
~. These girls are reported to have
saved Paris last June when they stayed
at their switchboards as men stayed at
their listening posts. I speak OF these
women land of this service, SO that IT
may be well understood that American
women did do and could do their part
in the army, as part of the army.
There have been a few Quarter Master
girls, regiments Of Red Cross, x. NJ. g,
Al, X. w. @. A, Salvation Army,
Smith College and other college girls.
And, very much OF course there have
been millions Of American girls Y

That is The reason why, when the
American Expealtionary Force borrow:

summer, there was no report Of the
fact in America. It had TO be lone a

get them. Britain was generous, Il

Coal and metal miners all over the

In the national Transportation. In 16
6iTerent mining states, local or state
meets have already been held or will
"a held in the near future.
II is estimated that out of the mil
Hon miners In the United States more
han a hundred thousand are well
haiped In emergency flrst-aid work
and have been instrumental In saving
manv lives in and around mines. It
Il said to be frequent occurrence for
hospital surgeons upon receiving an
Injured miner to declare that the first
aid treatment received In the mine
hom the miners had undoubtedly
sayed the mans life.
These first-aid teams are scattered
throughout the United States where
mines are found, and are the results
d the pioneer work Of the bureau of
zines in maintaining a mine-rescue
car or station in each of the mining
fields for the purpose of training these
men.
In addition to this work, the bu-
reau's experts teach the miners how
b save life in mines, and especially
the use of the oxygen mine-rescue ap-
paratus that permits the wearer, after
q mine explosion or disaster to en-
tsr the deadly atmosphere there with
comparative safety, and succor posi-
bic living miners. These mine-rescue
teams, located at the various mines,
lie also to participate in the national
demonstration.

petition with local merchants at, both dlrect and indirect saving to con sumers. The experiment is to be en- iarged to include food products other than fruits and vegetables and Is said to be already serving as a stabilizing influence on prices in that city mar ket. Competing merchants have be- come interested in the methods of do- ing business of the city-operated stalls ana appear anxious to try out prac- tlces that would enable them to lower their prices.
 Allentown, Pa, has gone Into farm ing on a farm acquired for other pur- poses which, through changes in mn nicipal plans, was lying idle. Under the direction of one of the city alder men this farm is producing vegetables and selling them at retail in competi- ton with shipped-in produce. The farm also feeds 1000 head of hogs on city garbage. Local advocates of the plan now propose to include the use of an old brewery as a storage ware house for potatoes and other products grown by local farmers, so as to lessen the city's dependence on shipped-in products.
 Although the bureau of markets, through It's city market division, is keeping in touch with developments in many cities and is compiling in- formation for use in answering in- quiries, it states that it would be glad to hear from any cities, not as yet reached by formal inquiry, which are working on local food problems through municipally owned shops and by other methods differing from those that have been followed in the past.
