Equip Sewanee for Larger Ser.
vice.

A campaign which is receiving the
Endorsement of prominent men of all
churches and professions is being un-
dertaken at this time in behalf of the
University of the South. This insti-
tuition of higher learning, better
known as Sewanee, is owned and con-
trolled by the Episcopal church, and
is located at Sewanee, Tennessee.
This university is the pride of the
South, and its claim for support rests
upon the basis that the South needs
ito. preserve, maintain and adequately
equip an institution of education
which shall stand for the ideals, prin-
ciples and convictions of the whole
South.
Throughout 13 Southern States,
which comprise % dioceses of the
Episcopal Church, the undertaking is
being conducted simultaneously. In
all this territory an organization has
been built up composed of prominent
laymen, alumni and clergymen, whose
determination is to raise for Sewanee
a general endowment of at least ST.
100000, and their slogan, is, Equip
Sewanee for Larger Service"
The personnel of the organization
includes representatives from each of
the dioceses on a general committee,
with Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood as
chairman. This committee is in charge
of the Southwide movement. Each
diocese is governed by diocesan
campaign committee in charge of the
work in that district. Each of the do
ceses is again divided with a local
chairman in charge of the details in
each parish and mission.
The local organization is in charge
Of Mr.. S. Meg. Simkins, chairman;
David Strother, C. A. Griffin, B. T.
Rainsford, Mrs. R. A. Marsh, Miss
Sarah Collett and Miss Katherine
Butler. In accordance with the plans
of the campaign throughout the
South, this local committee has plan
ned a community meeting which will
be held in the Opera House, Tuesday
evening, June 10th, beginning at
S:45 o'clock, when an inspiring pro-
gram will be presented, presided over
by Hon. S. MEG. Simkins.

business, much of which extended into
fields less profitable, but which gave a
service necessary to maintain the re-
quirements of the public. During the
same period the Postal carried only
about one-twelfth of the government
business, carried at approximately 40 per
cent of the commercial rate and claimed
by both companies to be a loss of so
per cent of the operating costs In this
connection, the statement says, instruc-
tions were issued by officials of the Post
al directing their subordinates to avoid
government business whenever it could
be done. After citing figures to show
the enormous cost in wages and material
occasioned by the increased scope of OPP
erations of the Western Union and de-
claring that the purpose of the wire
board is to make the lowest rate that
will maintain the service required by
the country, the statement continues
''ln making a rate sufficient to main
tain the telegraph service of the country
discrimination could not be made be-
tween two companies performing this
service. The fact that the Postal COM
pany could continue to carry on business
at the old rates and still earn its COM
pensation is of practically no significance
in constructing fair schedule of rates
for the country as a whole. Such rates
must cover the cost of rendering service
to all points, including just compensa-
tion for the property used. The Postal
system reaches only fraction of the
points at which telegraph service is rem
dered, and at the points which it does
reach it could not carry on half the bust
ness offered. Sound public policy die
tates schedule of rates which shall give
all the people telegraph service"

Home demonstration workers are urg
ing housewives to add to the worlds
scanty supply by making use of every
particle Of fat in the kitchen. Some of
the uses of fats which they are demon
strating are given by Miss Gladys Still
man of the home economics department
of the Wisconsin agricultural extension
service
Pork and beef fats may be used in
hot breads, colored and spiced cakes,
sauces, soups, stews and meat loaves
and to saute potatoes, meat and fish.
Sausage fat is especially good for poul-
try stuffing. Bacon fat may be used
for spreading sandwiches.
Mutton fat, clarified and softened,
may be used in colored and spiced cakes,
meat loavcs stews and in sayory fat
Chicken fat may be used in hot breads,
biscuits, and mullins and cakes, cookies
and sauces.
Savory fat is made by heating the fat
gently for about 20 minutes with such
seasoning as onion, summer savory, gar
lie, thyme, marjoram and bay leaf, the
amount and kind depending on individ-
ua taste.
The amount OF salt in a recipe using
the clarified fats should be increased

WHY RATES ARE
INCREASED
The Telegraph Service Has
Been Rendered at the
Pre-War Rates
THE INCREASE OF
TWENTY PER CENT
Should Be Considered in
Comparison With the In
creases in Other Lines

Washington, April I'm making
public to-day statement in which it
gives figures upon which is based the in
crease of telegraph rates, the wire con-
troll board directs attention to the fact
that while the prices Of products and
service of various industrial and mercan-
tile corporations have increased 100 per
cent, telegraph service has been rendered
at pre-war prices throughout a period
when industrial and business profits
were unprecedented. "The increase of
90 per cent in telegraph rates" says the
statement, SHOULD be considered in com
parison with the 100 per cent increase in
other prices, and it is less than that
found necessary to add to the railroad
freight rates and is no greater than has

been made generally in other public util-
ity rates in order to obviate financial
collapse"
Discussing a comparison of the self
sustaining operations of the Postal COM
pany with the smaller proportionate
earnings of the Western Union, the
statement declares that during the six
months from August, 1918, to January,
1919, the Postal carried only about one
sixth of the business of the country,
limited to profitable fields, while the
Western Union carried -sixths of the

Peddling farm produce from "side-
door Pullmans' is market outlet
which some producers have followed,
as, by accompanying a car of their
produce on the road and selling direct
ly from the car door to dealers and
consumers in number of small towns,
they realize remunerative return from
their marketing operations. In most
of the places where this method Of
"car peddling" is practiced the pro-
ducers take out a license from the
authorities which gives them tempo
rary selling privileges, such licenses
costing from $40 to $25 apiece. This
system Of self-service craftsmanship IS
applicable only in regions where the
growers have no cooperative associa-
ton. 1t would be extremely unwise
for the individual producer to go on
the road in active competition with
an extensive selling organization.
Cut In Profits.
The growers also must bear in mind
the fact, although the returns from
this method Of selling at first may ap-
pear large, they will be cut down to a
great extent by his expenses, the time
consumed, and the consequent neglect
of his regular business. This practice
may result also In lowering wholesale
prices, inasmuch as the grower may
be anxious to get away and may sell
at figures which the regular dealers
would not accept. Car peddling is

CLIMB ON HIGH WITH
AN ARMY CHAUFFEUR
Rockiest Road to Dublin Is To-
Gated in France.
Private Employers Who Are Operat-
ing Large Fleet Of Trucks for De-
livery Purpose Are Told to
Remember Army Men.

The chauffeur who used to consider
Broadway and Forty-second street a
hard place to cross went to war to dis
cover that the rockiest road to Dublin
lay In France, after all. For automo-
bile driving became supreme art over
there, where there were no lights to
illuminate the roads, and often no
roads to illuminate.
With shells bursting on all sides, anu
bombs dropping from the Jerrys above,
the truck, ambulance and lorry driv-
ers soon learned a thousand new tricks
in the trade: how to keep a straight
course without benefit of compass or
light, how to climb out of mud hub
deep, how to run on three wheels If
something happened to the fourth, in
short, how to do the impossible, all
to the glory of the allies and Novem-
Der 18th.
These men are now coming back to
the United States, master mechanics
and drivers, trained in the hardest
school to every emergency that an au-
tomobile could confront. Some of them
are still jobless, and Col. Arthur
Woods, assistant to the secretary Of
war, and in charge of the governments
unemployment campaign for ex-service
men, offers them as the best possible
material in the world for expert auto
mobile driving.
Private employers who are operating
large fleets of trucks for delivery and
transportation purposes, are especial
ly recommended to these expert driv-
ers. The various governmental and well
fare agencies will be the means for
bringing the men and the jobs to-
gether.

Reaching Markets by Trucks.
Direct delivery by wagon or motor
truck is practicable only whore the
farmer lives within 25-mile radius Of
the consuming center. Hence this
method of marketing affords an outlet
only for the commodities produced il
the area Immediately surrounding the
market. Such deliveries are limited
in the main, to country towns and
smaller cities. The automobile truck
undoubtedly is enlarging this service.
but it probably will be limited to a
very small portion of the total produc"
ing area Of the country and can not
be expected to form an outlet for the
great bulk Of farm crops. Again, the
development Of cities, with their con-
slant encroachments upon outlying
country districts, forces production
areas farther from the market centers
and in the larger cities makes 1t
practically impossible for growers to
deliver their produce direct to con-
sumers. The best examples of sue
cessful direct deliveries by growers to
consumers are found in the sale of
fresh fruits and vegetables in small
country towns and deliveries from
neighboring farms through residential

juice and rind. Let stand until well
chilled, serve garnished with a sprig
of mint.
Crown Roast of Lamb.-Have the
crown roast prepared at the market,
having it large enough to hold, when
serving, plenty Of buttered peas for
the number to be served. Wrap the
bones carefully while roasting so that
they will not be burned, with bits of
salt pork remove when ready to serve.
When chestnuts are in season fill with
PURGE Of chestnuts.
New potatoes, small, even sized
ones, cooked until tender, rolled in
melted butter and sprinkled with
parsley are nice to serve with the
roast, or potatoes shredded with n
vegetable slicer into shoe strings and
fried in deep fat may be put around
the roast as a garnish.
Head Lettuce with sherry's Dress
ing.-Wash the lettuce, drain on q
cloth and see that it is perfectly free
from water before serving. The dress
ing should never be placed on lettuce
until just ready to serve, as it willis
the crisp salad vegetables. To pre-
pare the dressing chop one small
Spanish onion, add two tablespoon
fuls each of green and red pepper
chopped; one tablespoonful of salt
one tablespoonful each of powdered
sugar and chopped parsley, few
dashes of cayenne, one quarter cup of
vinegar and three-fourths of a cup Of
olive Oil. Put into a Mason jar and
shake for five minutes until well
blended. Let stand one hour before
using, then shake again just as 1t is
ready to serve.
Ginger Ice Cream.-To prepare this
ice cream use the usual vanilla cream
recipe, taking one tablespoonful of
vanilla, one-half cup of Canton ginger
cut in small pieces, three tablespoon
fuls Of the strip and freeze as usual.
Use a sauce Of the ginger strip with
chopped ginger If desired or the cream
may be plain with the ginger sauce.

By twos and threes, with arms en-

their slender, supple bodies were

dress materials of wool are suited to

sixteen Cor somewhere near that age)
which Is so adequately shown in the

and gabardine rank together In point
of serviceability.
The frock pictured Is Of serge, in
dark blue, and is frightened up with
a vest of tricolette in American Beau
ty shade that has three groups Of
three tucks each to embellish It..
There is a great vogue for this color
combination in schoolgirls dresses
this fall, the red usually showing In
pipings and In small insets. In this
frock the bodice turns back at each
side Of the vest in straight revers
bound with silk braid, like the frock
in color, and there are three snappy
little brass buttons set on each rever,
The use Of braid and buttons in ad-
dition to the Introduction of colored
