KEEPING AN EYE
ON WOMEN L

Miss Hannah Patterson, recently
awarded the Distinguished Service
Medal for work as assistant director
of the Council for National Defense,
has just been appointed a member
of the advisory committee OF the
Wal Risk Insurance Bureau.
During the war the number oil
women workers in Germany in
creased enormously, between eight
and nine millions being employed.
The chief increase of women work
ers was in munition making, smelt-
ing and engineering.
Miss Emma o.. Lundberg and
Walter Treadway of h children's
bureau nave made a survey OF the
mental detectives in Sussex county
Delaware, which reveals a native
American population of twelve de-
fectives per thousand population pc
tween the ages of six and twenty. NO
provision whatever is made for their
care or teaching except the county
almshouse.
Mrs. Raymond Robins, social
worker, declares the new
wage for ome just established III
the District of Columbia is too low.
The new minimum is $3.50. MISS
Robbins. president of the National
Woman's Trade Union League, rec
ommends SIS weekly as the lowest
wage at which a woman may mann
tain health and working efficiency.
Its chief value she finds is that II
| will enable the women workers TO or
| ganize for adequate wage demands
| and will tend to s~tandardlze wage
conditions where now no
whatever exist.
The bureau of labor reports thai
during the war school attendance ieil

greatly increased child TABOR, ahu
partly because 10000 teachers lei
the schools to go into better pald war

Real FireleSS
Cooker Planned
BY RUTH EAIRD.
Home Economics Expert, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Home Economies Expert, U. $. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Is your kitchen so hot these sum-
mer days that you dread to work in
it? If it is, probably a share OF the
blame rests on the c0okStove fire or
the lighted oil or gas range. If you
could do without that heat three
rourths of tho day, might it not be
plausible to believe that your kitchen
would be a u mere comfortable
place in which to work A device
which will aid you greatly in doing
cooking in q much cooler kitchen and
with a minimum amount OF fuel is the
~firelesS cooker.
A properly made cooker works, for
it has been tried out many times, says
the States Relations Service, L. s. De-
partment of Agriculture. There are
several good ones on the market but
if you care to use a few hours some
cool morning and several easily Sc
cured materials. you can make one
at az very low cost.
A Box VIII DO.
Use a tightly built wooden box or
lard firkin large enough to allow at
least four inches around the pail or
can used as container for the pail of
food.
Put castors on the frkin. Scour, let
it dry thoroughly and line with sew
eral th~iclnesses of newspaper tackled
TO the sides then pack a layer of eX-
celsior solidly in the bottom at least
two inches deep. Fit a piece of as
bestos the size of the pail on the layer
of excelsior. Set the pail on top of it
and weight before starting to pack
around if in order to avoid having it
Put in the excelsior, packing
it evely, and stamping it down fire.
uuently, until ii is about one-half inch
the rim of the bucket.
,Cut cardboard collar to fit between
nside pail and outside firkin and set
in place. Cover that with a mixture
of plaster paris Cone part plaster
paris to two parts of water). In put
ting on mixture, avoid having layer
come up above rim of pail. If not
thin enough to put o. smoothly rub
down With fingers or with knife blade.
and after it is thoroughly dry, paint
the firkin.
Pillow Must BE Tight.
Make a pillow of cotton material,
with enough excelsior filing to make
it fit snugly between the top of the
inside pail and lid.
Soapstones are advisable, though
not essential, for they keep the food
lot much longer, Directions for using
the cooker and recipes for dishes
which can be successfully cooked can
be secured form your state agricul-
tural college or your home demon
agent. Make your cooker
away and make your kitchen a
cool place in which to work.

SHALLOW AND UNFAIR

"a MERICA'S most important
lA business just now is at the
peace conference in
France. President Wilson is
there to exert his wonderful in
lfluence to the end that this
country may obtain the goal
for which we waged war. He
is there to see that we do not
lose the prize for which brave
men died and millions suffered
at home and overseas. He is
busy with the greatest task an
American president ever un-
dertook and he is meeting
with success.
With these things true the
petty spirit shown by some op-
position politicians and the
anti Wilson press is ambomi-
nable. They talk trifles when
giant issues are upon us. They
manifest shallowness and in
sincerity when earnest charac-
ter is needed. They are unfair
to Wilson and unfair to their
readers, unfair to the country.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-02-11

at the same time they will ac-
qnire property that will be
come more valuable IL the town
continues to grow, as it will.
Every man who "owns his
home" will vacate house or
an apartment which will be-
come available for a newcomer
and newcomers are regularly
calling for such places. There
are now and always will be
many semi-transient families
in the city. These are families
of travelling men, local sales
men, mechanics and others. 1t
is logical for such people to
live in rented homes, particu-
larly on first arriving. The de-
mand for houses on the part of
such folk is now greater than
the supply. AS a result many
men who would like to have
headquarters here are unable
to do so. Quite often men who
are needed in local industries
or business houses cannot be
obtained because of poor living
accommodations open to them.
Nothing could do more tow
ards the upbuilding of the city
than the carrying out of a plan
such as has been formulated.
The scheme is feasible because
it will accomplish a double pur-
pose, it will provide self owned
homes for men who want them
and will automatically increase
the supply of places for rent.
The move is timely for the
reason Pendleton faces a bright
future. The town is growing
and there are conditions that
make future advancement, OF
/ a gradual nature, a moral Ger.
tainty.
The spirit of self help and
cooperation has done wonders
for Pendleton in the past
There is now an opportunity
for that spirit to be employed
along new lines.
Pull together.
