Variety Of Soups

varieties, at this writing, include pea, bean
and vegetable mixtures In faxed form there
are cream of tomato, cream of corn, pea and
bean soups.
Vegetables also are being prepared in
dehydrated form. Add water and they puff
up into substantial slices. Mushrooms and
onions are taking this FORM and so are vege
table combinations. All these are especially
convenient to use in soup or nodded salads.
Fruits are coming in several forms. There

"IiERE is more to feeding our own army
and navy or sending loodstufs to Britain
- than Just growing plenty of vegetables,
grains, fruit and meat. In a great country
like ours. we can produce all the food we want
and then some. The problem of transport
ing and storing it for the use OF sailors at sea,
soldiers in the field, or civilians in country
like England is something else again. Food
stuhS are bulky and often perishabe. Mer
chant ships that used to have plenty of cargo
space for food must now load up with imple
ments of war Supply trucks have their limi
tatlons as they follow an army shifting rap
idly for maneuvers even in peaCetime. And
in the event of war, for which any army must
always plan. the problem becomes just so
much the more acute.
50 it is war or the possibility of war that
gives added importance to what. even In nor
NAL times, would be a revolutionary develop
ment - the advent for general use of food
stuffs in new, highly condensed forms. Many
- kinds of fruits, vegetables and soups are grad
ualy being marketed in the shape of powders,
fakes. compressed cakes and concentrates.
Except for the liquid concentrates they are
dehydrated foods - inexpensive, compact,
convenient, palatable and needing only the
addition of water to be ready for use They
are not bulky - indeed, the manufacturers

equals sixteen pounds in fresh form. number

ing illustrated here. .Cranberries come in flakes
and are excellent when used in a cranberry
sherbet or a cranberry chiffon pie, for both of
which we give recipes. Lemon is available either
in powder form or in a liquid concentrate.
Dried eggs are not entirely new - certainly
not to our American bakers, nor to the
manufacturers of various prepared cake f1ours.
But there are new advances in the production
of dried eggs. You can get whole eggs dried,
yolks dried separately, or whites dried sepa-
rately The angel-food cake illustrating this
article is witness to the use of dried egg
whites. That is what we made the cake of.
The dried whites can also be used very sue
cessfully for merlngues, while the dried yolks
make a splendid base for mayonnaise or
Hollandaise sauce. In CustardS or other
sauces you can use satisfactorily either dried
whole eggs or dried yolks.
All the recipes that follow make use of
one or more of these streamlined foods. Some
varieties that we have mentioned are on the
market now; others will be forthcoming. In
fact, new ones are being produced so rapidly
that it is impossible to forecast what will be
on the market from week to week. But they
are worth watching for.

Washington, D. C. 0LNS).-Re-
lance upon voluntary enlistment to
meet the apparent desire Of the Amer
lean people to expand greatly the
armed forces with all possible speed,
was criticized as too slow, and recent
proposals to narrow the age-range
that would be affected by selective
service draft were condemned as un-
fair to the nations youth, in state
ment issued by Paul T. David, acting
director of the American Youth Com
mission.
Question of Time Vital
Speaking in the light of the dis
cussion at recent three-day meet
ing under the Craftsmanship of Owen
D. Young, DR.. David said the COM
mission members not only were skep-
tical that large forces could be raised
through volunteering but also were
distinctly doubtful whether they
should be sought by this method.
With reference to the feasibility of
volunteering, the commission spokes-
man conceded that "no one can be
certain without trial." but said that
"past experience has been none too
encouraging and the question may
we'll be raised as to how much time
we have in which to experiment. Pos
sibly the United States is not in any

danger, but if it is in danger, then
our time for preparation is certainly
none too long"
Selective Service Favored
Concerning the wisdom of depend
ence upon volunteering, DR.. David de-
clared that the Youth Commission
was definitely of the opinion that the
selective service draft would be pre-
ferable as means of obtaining large
numbers Of men. In their opinion
"the kind of campaign that would be
necessary to secure large numbers of
volunteers would undoubtedly have the
effect of sweeping into the army a
Idisproportionate percentage of the
youngest and most impressionable
YOUTH
The commission did not believe that
military service ought to be concen-
trated among the unemployed boys

ing to volunteer in the heat Of a cam
paign Of mass pressure and hysteria. y
On the contrary, there was general
agreement among the members pres
ent at the meeting that all men who

Trenton, N. J.-Local Union No,
as ultimately convened in its regular
session last night, but not until a
very grave problem had been solved
The members were all, or nearly all
in their respective places and anxious
to get down to business but sad to
say our very esteemed president was
missing
One brother having a clue as to
the whereabouts of the missing one
decided that If the president would
not come to the gavel, he would re-
verse the order. This had splendid
results and we were soon in the midst
of a most interesting and important
meeting Quite number of items
came up for discussion and decisions
were made to the best of our ability
and judgment.
There was very good turnout and
we don't believe it was due in any
measure to the social time which was
held after the regular meeting.

night and get the inside dope.

an view Of the necessity in main
tanning the continuation Of produc-
ton Of all goods and services re-
quired for national defense, and, in
asmuch as the welfare Of labor may
best be forwarded by amicable ad-
justment Of such internal problems,
which if not adjusted may affect ma
tional defense. therefore:
"Be it resolved: That a committee
of four, consisting Of two represen-
tatives Of the A. F. Of L. and two Of
the CIO be appointed TO endeavor to
adjust any difficulties which may
arise between organizations affiliated
with the A. F. Of L. and the CIO
which may in any way affect the con-
tinuation Of operations on any prof
ect or in any plant engaged in work
affecting the national defense pro-

Drive To Wipe Out Anti-Ldbor Groups
Planned By Pacific Coast A. F. L. Units

Portland, Ore.-Groundwork was
laid for AFL coordinated effort on
the Pacific Coast by joint conference
of the three State labor federatiens
held here.
The conference, arranged by Meyer
L. Lewis, western director for the
American Federation of Labor, brought
together representatives of the Wash
ington, Oregon and California State
Federations, under official sanction of
the three groups. The program and
campaign effected by the conference
Will be put into action on the coast
by the three organizations acting in
unison and operating within their own
areas.
The definite objective of the cam
paign will be the stabilization of la
bor and working conditions in sub
normal areas where stiff opposition
to labor exists; where organizational
effort for the purpose of elevating
sub-standard wage and working con-
ditions to an American level is being
fought: and to coordinate all AFL
activities so that the strength Of the
entire AFL movement can be brought
to the aid of the weak spots.
Particular attention will be given
to the so-called "black spots" of labor
relations on the Coast.

Washington, D. C.-The vast task
of registering and ingerprinting the
100000 aliens in the United States
will begin Aug. 27 and is to be COM
pleted Dec. 26, Earl G. Harrison. di-
rector of registration, announced.
Voluntary appearance is expected
from the great majority Of the aliens,
yet, since registration is compulsory,
those failing to comply will be sought,
and on further refusal subjected to
the penalties of the Alien Registra-
tion Act, six months in jail and a
$1,000 fine.
Many complications are expected in
administering the registration and fin
gerprinting and the penalties will be
invoked only where the failure is
"willful." Likewise only 'willfully"
false statements will be punished.
Mr.. Harrison reiterated that the
registration and fngerprinting car
ries no stigma, and that no ''witch
hunt" will result.

Increases Up To IL Cents an
Hour Given By Camden
Pottery Company

Camden, n. J.-After a series of
conferences that have been held at the
Camden Pottery between the Local
Union so Committee, headed by Vice
President E. L. Wheatley, and officials
of the Camden Pottery Company, ap-
proximately 81 day wage employees
were granted increases in wages rang
ing from 212c to 12c per hour. The
increases will be retroactive to July
16 and the employees will draw the
back pay and new increases pay day,
August 9. At least 500 of the en-
ployes benefited will receive 10 per
cent increase. The kiln shed, kiln op-
orators, dippers and mould shop rates
have been increased from l2l2 to Is
per cent.
The conferences which have extend
ed back to early July were conducted
in a harmonious and cordial manner.
Keith McAfee, president of the COM
pany; Rex Luton, plant manager and
George Crawford, assistant manager,
recently superintendent at the Eljer
Company at Ford City, represented the
Camden Pottery at different times
during the deliberations. Understand
ings were reached on working condi
tions in various departments.
1t was also provided that upon COM
pletion of an addition to the plant, a
conference will be arranged to provide
increases for the casters.
Since the Camden Pottery has been
under the direction of MeSsers. Nc
Afee and Luton there has been prac-
tically an entire renovation in the
plant. The old upright kilns have
been eliminated for two modern tun-
mel kilns.
The number of casters at this plant
has been increased from % to 60 and
when the addition to the department
is ready for production, it is expected
20 new men will be hired. The new
shop will facilitate the handling of the
ware to such an extent that it is
thought noted improvement in grade
A ware will be achieved.
All employees hired were members
of the National Brotherhood of Oper
ative Potters, many coming from ko-
komo, Warrington and Trenton. This
is in keeping with the company's policy
of employing Brotherhood members.

Movement For Paid
Vacations Gdining
Union Labor Tukes Credit
For Start OF Vacations
With Pay

Detroit GLNS). - The important
part taken by organized labor in Win
ming vacations with pay for wage
earners is discussed editorially in the
August issue of the Motorman, Con-
ductor and Motor Coach Operator
official organ of the Amalgamated
Association of Street, Electric Rail-
way and Motor Coach Employees of
America. The magazine, of which
John J. Woods is editor, says:
"The U. S. Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics has issued a report on vaca-
tions with pay, covering some 81 1,19O
companies in the non-manufacturing
field, which indicates that the pro-
portion of workers included in vaca-
tion plans varied widely from min
imum of 40 per cent, in the different
industries, in 1889. In this category
are the transit employees, and accord
ing to the latest data gathered at in
ternational headquarters, the number
of members Of the Amalgamated AS
sociation who receive vacations with
pay is far above the minimum, even
the average, for the classification. Out
Of 366 local divisions, members Of 254
divisions obtain paid vacations of
from one to three weeks.
'The Amalgamated Association of
Street, Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees was one of the first
organizations to recognize the impor-
tance Of annual paid vacations for
wage earners in establishing better
relations between employer and en-
ploye. Not only do vacations serve
to improve the general health of
workers, but they affect safety Of
operation by calming taut nerves and
bolstering morale.
"Organized labor takes full credit
for starting the good habit of vaca-
tions with pay, by demanding vaca-
tion clauses in working agreements.
The extent Of the practice of allowing
paid vacations is nowhere near as
great as the labor movement hopes
to achieve, but it is reported that ap-
proximately 100000 workers in both
the A. F.. of l.. and CIO were the
beneficiaries of paid vacations in 1889.

ence Board, employer research agency,

winning concrete benefits for work

Building Trade Unions Break
Fake Strike And Save

Toledo, O.-Complete victory was
scored by the embattled members of
the American Federation of Labor in
this city in CIO attempt to raid
their jurisdiction and take away their
jobs.
Rallying to the cause unanimously
and militantly, the A. F. Of l.. forces
routed fake CIO picket lines and
checkmated efforts to take over fac

AS the CIO is still threatening to
import fifteen to twenty thousand
men from Detroit to help put over
their scab campaign, the A. F. of l..
defense lines are still being held in
tact and each building trades work
er in the city is donating twenty five
cents a week from his pay to the
defense fund.
The attempted raid started with
the picketing by the CIO Of the City
Auto Stamping Company plant, de-
spite the fact that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor had won a Labor
Board election in the plant and had
negotiated contract with the COM
pany last December. The purpose Of
the fake "strike" was to gain con-
troll Of the operating plant and then
force the company to use CIO United

gaining a foothold, the CIO planned
