ated in the scheme, but the American
Committee for Devastated France
bore the brunt of the expense and
arranged the details.
"The French were not inclined to
be friendly at first" said Mrs. Da-
Wis last week in going over the sum
mer's work. "The first persons we
taught were middle-aged and old
men. They were the heads Of agri-
cultural schools, bacteriology and
chemistry teachers. Some of them
felt that they knew all that it was
necessary to know on canning. And
no one can be more dignified than a
French professor. One Of the men
had written two books on canning
and for the first two days he tried
to quiz us and catch us in all sorts
of ways.

ant looking shinbone from one of
The chains of grocery-meat market
stores found all over Washington.
Need we explain that the sfinbone
is used ordinarily for soups and
suchlike, and not for roast meat or
slicing? For those who have kept
house it is hardly necessary to add
that Mrs. Washington Housekeeper's
dinner was a failure on this afore-
said occasion. Indeed, it was such a
calamity that she was moved to
write q letter to the chain of stores,
telling them what disappointment
its products were, this partly to re-
lieve her own feelings in the mat
ter and partly to follow her hus-
bands advice about tracing the din
ner deficit to it's lair. There are dis
advantages sometimes in having an
expert auditor paying the bills.

Shopping
For Bones

I'm order to get better acquainted
with the situation here I visited
some of the stores in our system. l
found there piles of most tempting
bones, partially stripped of the
meat for hamburg steak and other
demands, placed to one side. In
reply to my question if these ever
were sold l was told that there was
no demand for them. I was sur
prised, for these bones make the
finest kind of soup stock and for 0
cents would furnish the fundamen-
tai for a pot of soup for large
family for, perhaps, more thar one
meal.
"Of course, such large accumula-
ton of bones is not daily occur
renee, but they are to be had in
large quantities on certain days
of the week. Housekeepers should
know these days and plan their
weekly menus accordingly. There
are many points Of this nature
which can give housekeepers, both
old and new, about purchasing. [

quests for assistance in budgeting

wherever she is requested to do so.
The personal service in reply to let
ters sent in to her office will be
large part of her work, both in
answering complaints and in max
ing the replies to requests for ad-
vice on household science.
The thirty-odd stores of the sys-
tenn will be other points of contact
for reaching the women with the
fact that Mrs. King will lecture on
correct buying Of food and it's
preparation. She also plans to
issue, about twice monthly, a bulle-
tin after her own heart, full of
timely recipes, with no editorial
eye but her own to wise the length
or character Of the culinary infor-
nation. This magazine will be
distributed to the housekeepers
through the branch stores and viii
advise them about seasonal pur-
chases and many other ways to cut
the high cost OF living.

just ahead of us-the disappearance
OF the servant class, the immense ad-
vances IN cooperative living, the
tremendous increase in servant
eliminating apparatus-probably no
one factor would be of more help in
the undeniably difficult adjustment
period than the cooperation of men.
Men are often better organizers.
more skilled in eliminating useless
movement, quicker to introduce
labor-saving machinery-when the
work is up to them.
1t is your son rather than your
daughter who invents the short cut
IN performing some household chore.
The fact that men have invented
most of the labor-saving machinery
which is of use in the household
is not without significance.
Women have urged in supporting
their demand for equal suffrage
that the woman's Viewpoint was
needed in our political life, the
woman's concern for child welfare.
for the more human, more merciful
Interpretation of laws - and men
have conceded this. Is it possible
that in our years of domestic
transition the application of mascu-
line intelligence and method will
have clarifying effect on some of
our household problems and will
make for a more successful adjust
ment?

An Artistic Pack

"This whole attitude changed on
the third day of our demonstration,
however You see this was the first
time the teachers of France had ever
been called together by the govern
menc. Five or six Of them refused
to leave their families and come to
the ten days Of lectures and demon
stration. The vacation period is
very short in France and they did
not wish to be disturbed.
"But the antagonistic attitude of
the teachers changed. We planned
to ensnare their interest. You know
the artistic temperament Of the
French. Well, we made several
fancy packs. These showed them

Containers at
SO Gents Fer

The fact that the French have
heretofore done so little home can
ming made the work Of the American
mission more difficult. Also. the
French did not have the materials
with which to do their own canning
on any except the smallest scale.
Jars holding less than one pint cost
fifty cents in France last summer,
and in many places it was simply
impossible for the Gamers TO get
containers for the vegetables after
they were ready to be canned. The
American Gamers gave away all of
their equipment and everything they
could procure. The arrangement has
been made that the same mission
shall go back again next year, and
before leaving France the Americans
made plans for the requisite equip
ment apparatus and cans for can
ming in large quantities which they

Enlisting the

Of these agricultural schools and

Una Trailing
Her Knight
So, formerly, was a woman's eco
nomic helplessness an asset III her
feminine charms; her lack of ability
to make her way, her limp depend
ence and appeal to any man who
happened to be around, were evidence
of true womanliness! Una, trailing
her Red Cross Knight, with an ass
and a dwarf by way Of equipment,
was beautifully typical. The modern
woman does no such thing. Brito-
mart, rather than Una, is in the
modern spirit - Britomart, who
donned her armor and did her bat
Ting for herself. The girl of to-
day may still wish to trail her
knight, but she cranks her own
motor, or starts her own aeroplane,
and needs no assistance from any
one.
Female helplessness no longer
wears a halo-observe the Salvation

longer even admired by men. Is it
