CHIEF OF CHILDREN'S BUREAU

THE time has come when the

reau. In cooperation with state off,

The Red Cross work in north Rus
sia has included the establishment Of
an American hospital of 100 beds and
the daily feeding of 5000 school chill
dren. Activities have been extended
from Archangel TO many small vii
lagos. An auxiliary ambulance service
is operated for the medical officers of
the army, and everything possible is
being done for the care of our SOL
diers in that frozen corner of the
world.
Here at home the effect of peace
has been noticeable in diminutiOn OF
personnel at national headquarters
in Washington, as well as In the d.
visions and chapters. The Christ
mas roll call for 1919 memberships,
however, brought opportunities for a
large majority of the workers TO
keep busy until the end of the year,
and the permanent future of the soci-
ETY. is so well settled In the public
mind that it is safe to predict a con-
tlnuance of effective chapter organi-
cation throughout the country. At ma

Good Construction Required.
To be satisfactory cold-storage

made floor of cement.
The walls and ceiling are made the
same as the floor with the exception
of the concrete floor underlayer.

1t seems a far cry from the great
world war to styles in corsets. Yet
even In corsets, which seem so incon-
sequential and so small an item In
the worlds business, the war has
changed manufacturing methods, aud
1t looks as If 1t would have lasting
effect on the garment. Prices Of cor
sets went up with scarcity of mate
rails and increase In cost of labor.
There is no immediate prospect Of
their coming down again. For year
Mt least the French corset fabrics will
not be imported in sufficient quanti-
ties to influence price and the labor
item is difficult to handle. Manufac-
turers who are willing to shave ex-
penses In every other direction VIII
hesitate to cut down wages. So we
must reconcile ourselves to the pres
ent required expenditure and hope
that 1t win not advance.
The low bust proves itself the most
comfortable and the most graceful Of
corset models. In fact there Is no
particular reason for mentioning the
bust at all In connection with new
models that extend only an inch or so
above the walstline. The bust Is really
corseted by the brasslere and the
lungs and diaphragm are not subject
"a 70 the slightest pressure. Curves
are long n figures corseted in this
way-a consummation devoutiy to be
wished.
Fewer bones-or steels-are used
IN the new models than ever before.
This came about through the short
age Of bonlng materials and proved
bltssIng in disguise. Even the stout
woman finds her figure well support
ed BY corsets IN which few bones are
used instead Of many and the gain In

AS Henry p. Dawson, chairman OF
the war council, said In announcing
the organizations after-the-war policy
Always, as heretofore, any plans
adopted win assure complete co-opera-
ton with the respective governments
and with any agencies with whom re.
lations may be established.
What the future is to be. no one
can say. But that there will be an ap-
pealing cry of humanity from all over
the world, no one can doubt. The
needs of France, Belgium. Italy, Rus
sla and the Balkans will not terminate
with the formal declaration of peace.
A hard winter is ahead. Exposure and
the hardships OF war and the dislo-
Gated industrial conditions of the
world have produced hunger, want and
disease.
Politically the outlook for a new
and better world is bright. but the
economic conditions are ominous.
There will be such distress in the
world that 1t cannot be met by volun-
tary organizations. Governments them
selves must bear the chief burden, and
l am confident that cooperation be-
tween the governments may be relied
upon in an endeavor to meet this
wholesale work of relief which will be
needed.

ever, be the necessity and opportunity
for supplementary work which Red

AMERICAN PRINCESS OF Wales?

The matrimonial future of the
prince of Wales is much discussed In
London these days. The Daily Express,
for instance, recently devoted two coll
umns to the subject, pointing out that
the war has narrowed the choice for
the royal marriage. There is no pos
slbility now of German princess be-
coming queen of England, and vast
tragedy has obliterated the Russian
royal family.
As regards marriageable prin-
cesses in other European countries,
the Express says that Princess Yo-
landa of Italy is ineligible on religious
grounds. Princess Helena of Greece
is no longer talked of as the future
queen, and although one of the Rou-
mahian princesses might be chosen.
the prospect would arouse little en-
thS1iasm.
"The fact is" says the Express.
'that there is keen desire that the
prince shall be allowed to choose for

ice while a refrigerator is intended to
make use of 1t, economically, of

PLEA FOR DISCHARGED WOMEN

Thousands of women will auto
matically step out Of positions and
part with pay envelopes as each home
coming troopship discharges its human
freight on our shores. 1t is the busi-
ness of this country to see that those
women are protected in their retire
ment and that an exchange to another
industrial front be effected without APP
preciable loss to the pay envelope"
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, nation
al suffrage president, thus summed up
recently the threefold problem of the
reimbursement of the labor situation
from the war to the peace basis.

alright, but it must be porous enough
to allow water to percolate through.
For this reason base formed of rough
stones covered with clnders and the
cinders covered with foot Of saw
dust makes a good bottom. A very
satisfactory substitute is made by
laying small round poles In the bottom
Of the ice house covered with straw
and the straw covered with sawdust
about a foot deep,
There is good deal in packing the
ice in the house to make 1t keep well.
II should be put In during cold wealth
er and all the chinks carefully filed
with broken ice and the whole mass
well frozen together by pouring on
water. By doing this very carefully
the ice can be frozen together almost
solid so the air win all be forced out.
There should be a space Of foot
between the ice and the sides of the
house all around and this foot filled
In with sawdust tamped down. The
sawdust should be at least a foot
deep on top Of the ice; IS inches is
better.
Must Have Attention.
A great deal Of ice Is lost durins
the spring months when the weather
is getting warm, but not warm enough
to require the use Of ice In the re-
frigerator. During these weeks the
ice house is-forgotten. and 1t melts
little and settles. The settling proc.
ess opens cracks In the wet sawdust
and some of these cracks will extend
through to the Ice. After the house
Is filed and covered with sawdust II
should have attention at least once
a week. II the sawdust Is kept packed
down well all around and on top the
ice cannot melt very much.
There are other details to thlnk
about. such as ventilation and shade
1t is a great help to have the house
shaded By large tree or another
building. When the sun beats down
hot on top Of the roof the temperature
inside the building Is a great deal
higher than II would be with the roof
shaded.
In choosing the location convent
ence In using the ice should be con-
sldered In preference to convenience
In filing the Ice house. because the
filing Is done IN 3 day or two where
as the unloading process occupies sew
eral months aud requires innumerablf
trips between the kitchen and the i-e
house.
