and take out seeds and part of the
pulp. Put this seedy part through
a course cieve to remove the seeds.
Sprinkle the insides OF the tomatoes
lightly with salt and let stand up

tomatoes and keeps them from
breaking during baking. Melt butter

corn. bread crumbs. seasoning and
enough tomato pulp to make moist.
Fill tomatoes with this mixture and
bake twenty minutes IN a moderate

Voters.
NEW YORK, oct. THE unity
and friendship that developed among
women in war work show'every sign
OF enduring.
The fundamental lessons in de-
mocracy, learned in sorrow and DUR
ing the stress of getting their fight
ing men across the sea, they are con-
tinuing to apply in this RECONSTRUCT
ton period.
More than that, the women who
were leaders then, are now set upon
keeping before them and before
their children, in positive and con
structive form, the ideals and ideas
tor which the war was fought.
An illustration Of this unity and
friendship lies in the quick response
American women are making to the
call of the newly organized Wood
row Wilson Foundation. The aim of
the foundation is to %perpetuate the
ideals of democracy and human
rights for which the war was fought,
and to honor the nan who interpre-
ted and expressed them for all mel
and women-Woodrow Wilson, for
mer President of the United States.
1t Is interesting and significant to
reflect that the conception of the
foundation that the conception OF
the foundation was a woman's idea.
One day last winter a group of wom-
en- who had worked together
throughout the war, met in a New
York homo and then and there took
shape the thought of honoring the
man who, they believed, set forth
the ideals that bound them and all
the men and m of the world to-
gether for two years Of supreme eff
fort.
Foundation Evolved.
The first thought had been simply
of some sort of tribute. Then came
the problem of what form it should
take. The usual material form of
recognition did not seem to embody
the living idea that the men and
women felt should be expressed.
a foundation" was suggested, and
that was the form finally decided
upon.
This foundation is a fund-it is
hoped it will reach $1,000,000 and
over-the income from which will
be bestowed from time to time as
an award to some person or group
that has rendered within a speciti-
fed period m~eritorious service to de-
mocracy, public welfare, liberal
thought or peace through justice"
Like Nobel Prizes.
= More nearly than anything else,
though the reasons for which 1t Is
given are quite different, 1t resem-
bles the Nobel Prizes.
There has been no such award in
this country before. But it may be
given, and very likely often will be,
to some person or group inconspicu-
Gus or obscure. 1t will be simply the
value of their contribution to public
welfare or democracy that will
count.
