AN INCREASED WAGE 81.
SCHEDULE SUBMITTED
TO yBRoTHERHooDs

Washington, Nov. 15.-Director
General Hines today submitted to
Representatives, Of the four railway
brotherhoods an increased wage scale,
amounting approximately to three
million dollars a month. 81 sy.s
The proposal, laid before repre-
sentatives of the brotherhoods at the;
closing session of the wage confer
ence, was taken under advisement.
It was not what the men had asked
for. but their answer will be present
ed TO the director general. within the
next ten days, and it was considered
likely they would accept. &
The increase would affect train
men, fremen, engineers and conduc-
tors, but more particularly those EN-
ployed in the slow freight train SER
vice.
There are many other questions af-
fecting working conditions of train
men which have not been decided and
to which no reference has been made
by Mr.. Hines in public statements.
These will be the basis for further
conference between the brotherhood
heads and members of the director
genral's staff. It was understood to-
night that the conferences might be
resumed early next week but no de-
finite date was set. t.
Statement By Hines.
In statement tonight Mr.. Hines
said that "in order to give an addi-
tional measure Of compensation to
the train service. employees in the slow
freight service, time and one half
will be paid for time required to
make runs in excess of what would
be required if an average speed Of
IL 1-2 miles per hour were maintain
ed, provided, however, that all ar
bitraries and special allowances now
paid in various forms of freight train
service are eliminated for the rail-
roads as whole. 'This proposal"
he said, clears on the most import
ant mater under consideration"

large number of people. The report
from these is that cheese is not hard
of digestion and is one of our most
nutritious foods. The Idea which has
caused cheese to be put on the black
list for digestibility is probably that
cheese Is often eaten at the end OF
heavy meal and the attack of indiges-
ton is attributed to the cheese when
the whole meal itself Is to blame.
The varieties OF cheese are many
and bewildering. To one Interested 1t
is a most pleasant study. The origin
md history of cheeses make very in
terestlng reading.
The right kind of cheese to serve
with certain courses is a puzzle to
rnany an entertainer. for it is quite 4
breach of culinary etiquette to serve
the wrong variety at any course of
the dinner
Some of the popular cheeses, begin
ming with our own American, which
includes the rich cheeses well ripened
made in Wisconsin, are called New
York. Brick, Limberger, Swiss, Sage.
Other cheeses foreign made. though

For macaroni dishes and au gratin
dishes there is no cheese more popu-
lai than the Parmesan. 1t Is very
Eard and is usually on the market
grated ready for use. If bought in
the Italian market you are sure to get
the real article.
For rarebits, souffies and all baked
dishes rich. well-ripened cheese
should be used the Wisconsin cheese,
so-called New York. is the best; in
fact is good anywhere at any time.
Cheese should be used freely AS
flavor and as food. 1t is twice as
nutritious pound for pound as steak,
with very little waste.

Save much waste of time, material
and strength by availing yourself of
others experience. One way Is the
reading of good household magazines
and conference with other house
wives. Experience Is often dearly

been proved by others.
