vOlved," Mr.. Woll stated. "We are met
on a battlefield and are faced with
crisis wherein labor has as much if not
more at stake than any other group,
or class. We must therefore, answer
the call of our Nation and of the Ma
tiOns allied with us not alone in the
field of production and transportation
but as well as in the field of con-
tributiOns and relief to those who are
carrying ON this heroic battle with u.s."
Recognizing that our entry into the
war has so greatly increased the num-
ber of worthy appeals to labor as to
render impossible labor's full attention
and response to each if handled sep
arately, Mr.. Woll proposed a plan
whereby the entire labor movement
make regular and periodic contribu-
tions to the United Nations Relief
Fund in whatever amount may be
deemed proper and appropriate within
each trade and calling under prevail
ing working conditions; the funds thus
! raised to be distributed through the
United Nations Relief Fund of the
League, and for local causes, through
the local branch of the League" This
Mr. Woll pointed out, would "avoid
confusion and unfair discrimination
coordinate and systematize our help
and, finally, obtain true accounting
of all that Labor is doing in the way
of relief :,
Agreements have been worked out
Mr.. Woll said, with responsible relie
agencies representing the nations
united with this country not to address
special appeals for aid to the. union:
with the understanding that their or
ganizatiOns are to receive allOcation
from the general UNR Fund.
The League is also working out ;
broad program to extend relief and ait
including personal comforts, entertain
ment, etc, for the members of our owl
armed services and is conducting negO
tiations to that end with responsible
| organizations.

TIME SAVERS in IIOISEWORK

Time as well as materials, counts
in war. Every shortcut you can use
to save time in housework gives You
just that much more YOU can give to
war work. Here are some time saving
suggestions from rural electriiicatiOn
experts of the L. s. Department of
Agriculture, reports the Consumers
Counsel Division of the Department.
TO save time with your ironing. keep
like pieces together when YOU hang
them on the line and when You dampcn
them before ironing. Then arrange the
clothes SO that YOU first iron all rayon
and silk fabrics that need only Il warm
| iron, then the cott"nS that take Il fairly
hot iron, and last the linens. That way
all fabrics requiring the same amount
of heat are ironed together And did
YOU know that to dampcn clothes fer
ironing, it is quicker to use warm
water than cold, because it spreads
through the fabric faster.
Don't iron things that can 90 with
out ironing, like bath towels dish
cloths, even sheets and pillowcaSeS.
You can clean faster, too, by follow
ing II systematic routine with your
vacuum cleaner. Frequent cleaning
saves time and saves your floors, rugs
and furniture too.
Your refrigerator can save your
time If YOU use ii right. When YOU
mix dough for cookies, rolls. pie even
some kinds of cake, make two or three
times your recipe. Keep the rest in
your refrigerator To use as YOU need
! 1t. BE sure to wrap ii in wax paper
or cover it tightly to keep it from
drying out.
Wash and prepare fresh vegetables
for cooking before you put them away
in the refrigerator. Fixed ready for
cooking, they will keep crisp and fresh
in Il Jar with Il tight lid or in wax
! paper.
