perhaps, than in some Trailer girls.
And she was now, as the psychol-

The problem Of household help is
Just as vital today rs it was a year
ago.
During early colonial DAYS the good
housewife nus needs turn her hand
to guide the home craft through her
journey. These good women pun
baked. managed the dairy and poul-
try; made all clothing of the entire
household and yet found time to en-
joy q quilting party, n campmeeting
or picnic. You of those among us
who can remember our grandmother.
of the early sixties. can recall with
pleasure how you loved to visit her
well-managed home, And yet we
who pride ourselves that we are mure
physically fit than those sturdy
danes of yesteryear-are satisfied 10
purchase our entire daily substance
from the bakery. delicatessen shop
and from the tin can. Surely this
spells SLOTH for our women of to-
day.
Quite recently I heard a young
housewife with a three-year-old child
complaining bitterly Of being tagged
to death" For you know we went
to the late movie and 1t was nearly
~ O'Clock before we reached home
and Jack was so hungry and l told
him TO stop at the delicatessen shop
and bring in some lunch-and just
think of IL. they have the nerve, mind
YOU. to charge him S1.25 a pound for
baked ham, and Jack always eats
nearly half a pound in four or five
big sandwiches. So, l just could not
get up and get Jacks breakfast and
he'll be so peeved tonight he Will
hardly speak"
Now, Mrs. Housewife, shame on
you. First, for permitting your lard
err to be found wanting n o not
able to supply the master of the
house with a snack. This habit OF
taking n basket or sending a child
daily to the store for provisions
spells waste and ruin, as does the
purchase of these so-called ready-to-
eat foods.
Now, mind you I am not condemn
ing the delicatessen shop. II is truly
a godsend for those unfortunate per
sons who must live day by day in
bachelor or housekeeping rooms and
have no rea means of providing their
food beyond heating coffee or a can
Of beans or soup. But, YOU. .ah,
madam, the lock stock n barrel OF
our American women, should leave
to history a RECORD of your capable
management and good cooking. Dis
card wasteful, frivolous housekeeping
methods and Join the great army of
true homemakers.
This means that you ought to make
palatable homemade bread, cake
and pastry. good soups. Discard
steaks. chops and expensive roasts
and replace them with substantial
stews, ~goulashes and potroasts and
feel that you, too, are turning out
healthy. sturdy man and womanhood
for our foundation of substantial
American citizenship. You know
hat no country is better than the
mothers of the nation.
Bread. the staff Of life, is of great
importance in the home; so. for those
who have failed to see former re-
cipes, / am now willing 20 repeat.
To make good bread a few simple
rules are necessary:

skirt and simple smock finds much
favor with the business girl, and pro-
vides ono of those adaptable dresses
becoming to the tall and the slender,
and particularly graceful for the short,
plump figure.
The tailored blouse is dignifed and
business-like, permitting individuality
in collars and cuffs with a dashing

GENERAL STRIKE IN
DENMARK HAS BEEN
CALLED OFF INDEFINITELY
The King Has Decided To Grant The
Electoral Reforms Demanded
BY The People

Copenhagen. Notwithstanding the
removal of political obstacles and the
announcement that the general strike
had been called off, it still continued
to be effective. The employers or
CARNATIONS and the trades unions have
not yet reached definite agreement.
Both yielded on many points, but are
faced by serious, perhaps insurmount-
able, difficulties through the uncom-
promising attitude of certain workers
outside the trades unions organization.
These workers include the dock men.
The general strike was called off
following Il general meeting Of the
chairmen of all political parties in
the rigsdag called by King Christian,
The announcement stated that all
the parties had agreed it would be
necessary to hold elections after new
electoral law has been passed.
Premier Liebe declared, upon the
kings suggestion, that he desired to
retire. The king will now ask former
Director of the Ministry of Justice
Friis to form a cabinet, with the un-
erstanding that the rigsdag resume its
sessions as soon as possible and begin
negotiations for an electoral bill. All
the chairmen promised to cooperate
with a cabinet formed upon that ba-
sis The resignation of the Liebe min
istry, after five days tenure of Of
flee means that the Socialists will
consent to call Off the general strike
providing the new electoral bill is
carried through all the parliamentary
stages before the dissolution of the
rigsdag and the pew elections.

S. Troops On Rhine II Forward
Movement Is Ordered

Paris.--Despite strong French inti-
nations Of coerciye military action un-
less the Germans should Withdraw
from the neutral zone, foreign office
dispatches reported that the German
troops everywhere in the Ruhr region
are making progress.
Intervention by the French regu.
lar forces may lead to the worst con
sequences in the words of Premier
Millerand in a state regarding the in
vasion.
After sharp combats near Vessel,
Ham and Walsum, the foreign office
adyices state, the German soldiers con
tinued to advance.
Nothing has yet been announced re-
garding Frances next step with re-
gard TO the sending Of German troops
into the Ruhr coal basin, with the ex-
ception Of a vague official statement
which says that any military measures
the French government has under con
sideration are merely for the purpose
Of forcing Germany to adhere strictly
10. the terms Of the peace treaty.
THE military measures under the
governments consideration have as
their sole object the recall of Ger
many to respect for Articles XIII and
Xiv of the peace treaty, which for
bid the presence of German troops in
the zone so kilometers east of the
Rhine" the statement says. "They
are, therefore, purely restrictive meas
ures."
The terms used in the official state
ment are measures of "astreinte," a
legal expression conveying the idea
of both penalty and constraint. Such
measures are taken by the newspapers
to mean the occupation of Frankfort
Hanau, Homburg and Darmstadt. The
newspapers express the belief that of
fetal announcement Of the occupation
is only awaiting Premier Millerands
notification Of and consultation with
the allies.

APPROVE SOLDIER RELIEF BILL
Vocational Education May Supplant
Cash Bonus In Many
Instances

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. relief legisla'
ton, with probable provision for
cash bonus, funds for which would
be raised by a sale or luxuries taxes,
has been approved by the ways and
means committee by vote OF is to
6. Details OF the bill to be recon-
mended will be worked out by sub
committees to be appointed later.
Members of the committee hope to
obtain final action by the house be-
fore the contemplated recess for the
national political conventions, but they
express doubt whether action by the
senate could be had at this session.
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, after a confer
ence with other senate Republicans
as to future legislation in the senate,
said he thought this would include a
bill to give a money bonus TO former
service men, with provisions for a spe-
cial tax to raise the necessary funds.
The program approved by the house
committee declares against any bond
issue. 1t is understood to have been
submitted by Representative Long
worth, Republican, of Ohio, and was
discussed at great length in executive
session.
While the exact form Of legislation
was not decided upon, committee dis
cussion was said to have indicated APP
prevail of plan of extending voca-
tlonal education as an alternative to
the cash bonus.
These two plans are a part of the
American Legion's program. It's 9th
er selected plan of government aid to
soldiers and sailors for building homes
or obtaining ownership Of farms were
said by some members of the COM
mittee to involve too many difficult
ties to be worked out by legislation be-
fore the recess.

GERMAN RED ARMY
MUST GIVE UP ITS
ARMS BY APRIL 10
Commander In Ruhr District Handi'
capped by Lack Of Military
Supplies

sseldorf-Soldiers Of the work
mems army in the Ruhr district must
make a delivery of their arms to To-
cal authorities before April 10 under
the agreement reached between the
government and the central commit
tee of the worllmen's general confer
ence held recently at Essen. They
will not be considered rebels if fight
ing ceases Immediately.
The commander of the Communist
troops before Vessel gave pledge to
the conference for the strict obsery-
ance of the agreement. He declared
he had a really good army, but could
not continue fighting because he lack
ed ammunition and asserted all loot
ing had been suppressed and that all
looters had been shot.
81 will shoot with my own pistol"
he said, ANY Communist soldier who
disobeys the order to withdraw and
disarm."
Assurance was given the delegates,
however, that there would be no trou-
BILE. There is some apprehension felt
as to a few extremist groups particu-
larly as they have learned Of a report
that government troops have entered
at several points and that two work
mems delegates were arrested while
going to Essen for the conference.

ASK OCCUPATION BY ALLIES
Ruhr Valley Isolated From Rest OF
World, With No Trains, Tele.

London.---The Essen correspondent
Of the London Times, telegraphing
from Cologne, says he was forced TO
go to Cologne as the Ruhr valley is
isolated from the rest Of the world,
there being no trains, telegraph com
munication or telephones. Several fac
tories are still in operation, although
all arc picketed by red guards.
The workers of Dusseldorf refused
to strike, and II was reported at Essen
that the Bochum workers had taken
similar action. The reds ordered the
Kupps to cease work and the huge
factory is lying idle, TO the disgust
OF the workers.
The supreme workers council sent
a delegation 10 Cologne to inform the
allies that the reichstag troops were
advancing into the Ruhr basin with
out the entente powers' permission
and to request them either to order
that this invasion cease OF occupy the
Ruhr territory themselves. As the
delegates threaten TO blow up the
factories and mines unless the entente
takes action il viii possibly be nee
essary for the allies to occupy the
Ruhr district.
Reporting a visit to the red front
the correspondent says the discipline
of the red guards seem to have inn
proved and they are determined not
to surrender their arms unless posi-.
bly, to the allies; but their lines thin
" held and often disconnected. There
IS lack of artillery and machine
guns and, above ali, food and am
Imuntion. He is convinced that the
reds could not Withstand a strong at

and is expected to fall at any moment.
