Ne,o Home for Capital Red Cross
Is Sought by Maj. Gen. Barnett
Ne,U Chairman, Says Chap.

IL, Scope.
Building Would Adjoi'
National Headquarters
On l7th Street.

Construction of an appropriate
home for the District Chapter of the
American Red Cross will be one .oS
the first achievements sought by its
new chairman, Maj. Gen. George Bar
nett, who assumed Office about ten
days ago.
} Although plans for the building
have not yet passed out Of tenta-
tive state. it will be erected on prop
erty directly adjacent to the ground
now occupied by the associations ma
tional headquarters. Its architecture
will be harmonious with that of the
present national building and the 9TH
er handsome structures along 18th
street.
I'VE propose to make this home
national enterprise, too," Gen. Barnett
said. while the District Chapter is
our local organization, it's presence
for other chapters gives it truly ma
tiOnal character. We hope to have
the members of every chapter in the
country subscribe to the building
fund.
Ex-SOldiers Seek Aid.
There come to Washington regu-
larly former soldiers from almost
every state in the Union seeking aid
from the Veterans Bureau. Not in
frequently they find that aid Is not so
easy to obtain and soon they find
themselves 'on their uppers.' Imme-
diately they turn to the Red Cross
and are referred to our chapter. We
never have and never will fail them,
but our present quarters Will no
longer accommodate our activities"
The new home of the District Chap
ter will cost in the neighborhood Of
100000. OF that sum $4,000 will be
sought from Congress and the re-
mainder from the various Red Cross
chapters throughout the country. AL
ready the District Chapter has over
subscribed its quota by pledging more
than $4,000. Reports received from
other cities indicate the response
elsewhere will be equally as sponta
neous.
Gen. Barnett goes to his office at
16 Jackson place every day to attend
to the business of the chapter. His
services are wholly voluntary and
he declared he intends to solicit more
active voluntary cooperation from
the business men Of Washington
than has been accorded the Red
Cross in the past.
THE women of Washington have
responded to the needs of the local
organization with an enthusiasm and
spontaneity that makes one feel
proud" Gen. Barnett said. Some
men. too, have offered their services
There is need for more men, how
ever and one Of the first things
would like to do is get the busine-s

Bureau Accounts Audited.

Beyond all this, the audits which
have been made OF the paper accounts
ing over the whole period since the
beginning of the war show that there
are no discrepancies in these ac-
counts beyond the petty discrepancies
that would naturally be expected In
transactions involving several hum
dred million pieces of distinctive
paper. The balances of distinctive
paper for which the bureau of en-
craving and printing is accountable
appear on the books of the Treasury,
and from time to ttnfe 1t Is the prac-

either by deliveries OF perfect securi-

CONFUSION MAKES
IRONING DAY HARD
Methodicol Woman Puts
Kitchen in Order.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
Without realizing it one may be
tired by disordered and confused sur
roundings, whether at work or not.
For the same reason one may get
through relatively long hard task
without undue fatigue If it is per-
formed under pleasant, orderly con-
ditions This is particularly true of
ironing, which is one of the longest
tasks in the weeks routine. One
woman may attempt to iron in an at
mOsphere &C confusion, with unwashed
dishes nearby, coats or other cutoff
doors clothing thrown over chair,
food standing about and children's
playthings under her feet; time is
lost making room among collections
Of untidy articles on the table or tubs.
Another woman waits to put her
kitchen in order before starting to
Iron She sits on a high stool for
most Of the work. She is also particu-
lar to have her ironing board steady
and placed at the right height, in
+
often sees; she has hamper for
the pile of dampened clothes and
clothes horse on which to air the
freshly ironed garments. 1t is safe
to predict, says the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, that the sec
ond woman will be less tired than the
first one when she has finished the
same amount Of ironing.
Other little ways of making ironing
easier are having the board well pad
ded and smoothly covered, never
standing with ones back to the light;
using clean smooth irons, occasionally
rubbed with wax or paraffin; wearing
comfortable shoes with moderate heels
In good condition. Rubber heels are
liked by many people.
An ideal ironing board is one which
is hinged permanently to the wall at
the best height for the worker so that
it can be folded back into a small
flat closet out Of the way when not
in use. This type of ironing board
has an extendable leg to rest on when
pulled down. 1t should be set as near
as possible to the stove where the
irons are heating or to the plug or
outlet where the electric iron is at
taGhed. For best results and great
est comfort in work light from win
dnw should fall across the ironing
board Put the clothes horse and
hamper within easy reach.

(forepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Potatoes boiled, baked or fried, oc-
casionally varied by mashed or
creamed potatoes alternate on good
many family tables the year round.
The United States Department of
Agriculture suggests several ways of
making plain mashed potatoes quite
delicious by adding eggs to them. In
the spring of the year when eggs are
plentiful this is not an extravaganza,
as it adds real food value to the dish.
Mashed Potatoes different"
Mashed potatoes are usually made
by beating them until light with hot
milk and butter, and salt and pepper,
using four tablespoonful of hot milk
and one teaspoonful OF the fat for ev-
ery medium-sized potato. To make
the mashed potatoes little different
they can be turned into a potato
soufle by adding the beaten white
of eggs 1.-TWO eggs to six medium-sized
potatoes,) piling lightly in a baking
dish or individual ramekins and bak-
ing in the oven until brown. Grated
cheese added to this souff1e is good.
Potato puffs call for a slightly diff
ferent combination and DO not require
q baking dish

toes. When partly cooled add egg.
This may be leftover whites or yolks

more than one egg to six medium-sized
potatoes. Refill the skins, brush with

Stuffed baked potatoes introduce the
same old friend in a new guise. This
way of preparing potatoes has two
especial advantages when company Is
expected: the potatoes are easy to

may be prepared early in the day,

Street Shoes in Black
Kid or Patent Leather

Americans do not respond readily
to the Partisan taste In shoes. The
short vamp and round, wide toe so
typically French have limited patron
age here, for the American women
prefer the slim last, long vamp and
high, arch which define the aristocratic
foot.
Shoes in the metropolitan shops are
lovely. Many of the outre styles and
vulgarities have disappeared and in
their place may be had correct shoes
in shades of sand or gray, conserva-
tive in cut, and ornamented often
with beautiful buckles.
Evening shoes are dainty and fancy,
and their jeweled trimmings grow
more and more brilliant.

Spiced Prune Preserve

After soaking dried prunes from 4
to 6 hours, or overnight, using 2 pints
of water to each pound of prunes, the
water should be drained off. In it
shbuld be put, for each 2 pounds of
prunes, / pound of sugar, " cup of
vinegar, II teaspoonful of cinnamon
II teaspoonful each Of alspice and
cloves. Put the spices in a bag or
cloth. Boil all together without the
prunes for 10 or 20 minutes, until
girupy, then add prunes, and cook
slowly about thirty minutes. This
recipe is recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture as
variation for ordinary stewed
prunes.
