While ehe seemed pleased and happy at the proepect of my giving Mr. Tower a divorce she did not commit herself. I had about decided to let them have each other if they both cared. Then Mr. Tower struck me. and I decided that If he struck me he would strike another woman, and so I was convinced that ehe would be as unhappy with Mm aa

WOMEN CAN MAKE THE APRON A UNIFORM OF NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE Economy In tho Home, Says Secretary Houston, le An Aid to Armed Forcee—Every Ounce of Food or Bit of Clothing Destroyed Tends to Waste Labor of an Army of Busy Citizens.

WASHINGTON, May T.-In an appeal "to the women of the United States," Secretary Houston declares that they can "do their bit" most effectually in the national emergency by practicing effective thrift In their

households.

The appeal was prompted br many requests for a statement as to the service women can render the nation in the direction of producing and conserving agricultural products. "Every woman can render important

•r be postponed until the defense council completes plans for uniform regis-

tration.

An outline of the elms of the committee gave the following as the chief subjects it will take up as soon aa organization Is complete: Registration, food, women in industry, training for special

service and moral questions.

A committee on women In industry named by Samuel Gompers, chairman of the defense council's labor committee, Issued a statement today calling at-

aervlce to the nation in its present gency," says the appeal. ,r 8he need not leave her home or abandon her home duties to help the armed forces. She can help to feed and clothe our armies

and help to supply food to

yoad the seas by practicing effective

thrift in her own household.

"Every ounce of food the house wire saves from being wasted in her homealt food which she or her children produce in the garden anjj can or P r **^Y*i every garment which care and skillful repair make It unnecessary to replace —all lessen that household's draft on the already insufficient world supplies

Properly Balanced Meals

"To aave food, the housewife must learn to plan economical and properly balanced meals which, while nourtshing each member of the tamily properly, do not encourage overeating or offer excessive -and wasteful variety. It la her duty to use all effective methods to protect food from spoilage by heat, dirt, mice or insects. She must *°duire the culinary ability to utilize bit of edible food that comes into her home She must learn to use such food* vegetables, beans, peas and milk prod□cl» a* partial 8ubstltuta» for meat. She must make it her business to see that nothing nutritious is thrown away

or allowed to be wasted.

"Waste in any individual household

may seem to be insignificant but If only a single ounce oF edlMa food, on the average, is allowed to epoil or be thrown away in each of our 20.000.000 homes, over 1.300.000 pounds of material would be wasted each day. It takes the fruit of many acres and the work of many people to raise, prepare and distribute 464.000.000 Founds of food a vear Every ounce of food thrown away, therefore, tends also to waste the labor

of an army of buey citizens. "Clothing Is largely an agricultural

product and represents the results of

labor on the sheep ranges, in cotton fields, and in mills and factories. When-

ever e useful garment le needlessly discarded material needed to keep some

one warm or dry may be consumed

merely to gratify a passing fancy. Women would do well to look upon clothing it this time more particularly from the

utilitarian point of view.

Leather Scarce Aleo.

"Leather, tod, is scarce and the proper shoeing of armies calls for great supplies of thie material. There are only so many pairs of shoes in each hide, and there Is a shortage of animals for leather as well as for meat. Anything that can be done to encourage adults or children to t^ke care of their shoes and make them last longer, means that so much more leather la made available

for other purposes.

"Employed women, especially those engaged in the manufacture of food or clothing, alao directly serve their country and should put Into their tasks the enthusiasm and energy the importance of

their product warrants.

"While all honor is due to the women who leave their homes to nurse and care for those wounded in battle, no woman ehould feel, that because she does not wear a nurse’e uniform, ehe is absolved from patriotic service. The home women of the country, if they will give their minds fully to this vital subject of food conservation and train themselves in household thrift, can make of the housewife's aproa a uni-

form of national significance.

young men and women to take up telegraphy was Issued by the war department which announced that the Western Union Telegraph Company has agreed to undertake the training of 2,500 telegraphers to recruit the algnal corps and take the places of commercial oper-

ators called to the colore.

Amateur radio operators were urged

to take up ordinary telegrais estimated that there are M,000 of these In the country

who could quickly fit themselves for

work at wire desks.

The department’s statement calls attention to the fact that modern telegraphy offers a good opportunity to young women. With the introduction of automatic sending and receiving machlnee, a keyboard similar to a typewriter replaces the ordinary telegraph key and the skill to operate this is easily ac-

quired.

IBy th* United Preze] COPENHAGEN, May 7.—"Any German peace proposal at thi» time simply Indicates the determination of a tremendously organized and still powerful nation to gain Us own ends," declared Maurice Francis Egan, American minister, totfay fn a warning to the people of America. He appealed to his fellow’-countrymen not to be deceived by German peace duplicity and not to slacken their war preparations under the mistaken Impression that the Germans are really ready to quit. No American official Is more conversant with German conditions than Mr. Egan. A veteran diplomat, long and brilliantly serving the United States at Copenhagen, he has made a special study of Germany and ramifications of Teutonic chicanery and propaganda. Recognizes inclncerlty. How strongly he feels the Insincerity of Germany's peace "feelers" which have been flooding Europe recently Is indicated in the fact that he decided to violate diplomatic precedent which forbids an envoy expressing personal views or granting Interviews. But Mr. Egaji decided the exigencies of the situation Justified It. "Relaxation of American preparedness would Increase the contempt of powerful Germans toward the United States," Mr. Egan declared. Advices from Hamburg, Stettin and elsewhere In Germany prove that although food conditions are had everywhere, still the people are sanguine of victory and are willing to make further sacrifices. 9 "Any peace suggestions by Germany at this time,” Mr. Egan said, "merely aim to eliminate Russia as a military force and to obtain the Russian larder. The Germans—especially those in Berlin —regard American military pretensions as a bluff. Hohenzollerns Still Safe. "There Is no danger of dethronement of the Hohenzollerns In Germany. Let me emphasize—peace talk In America will only prolong the war. "Germany will have constitutional reforms—perhaps in the near future. But there isn’t the slightest reason for believing that such reforms will Impose the czar’s fate on the kaiser and his line. "Part of the German press has Imbued the German populace with the belief that victory Is simply a question of time. The German populace is willing to fight and wa^t.” Every American here who knows German conditions is eager that the people of the United States be warned In advance of the hollowness of German professions of peace. Simply to Gain Time. They hold peace proposals as part of the whole German plot to gain time— and In the meanwhile Germany still hopes to win by her submarine warfare. They predict that careful dissection of any formal peace plans or war alms will show them to be utterly insincere, although on their face they may hint at great concessions. The best brains of Germany are now believed to be working on the list of war aims which Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl-weg is about to present to the relchstag.

OTHER IMPORTANT BILLS ALSO AWAITING ACTION.

DRASTIC FOOD PROGRAM

The Indl&napolU New* Bureau. 88 Wyatt Building. WASHINGTON, May 7.-The nation waits on the congress. While it moves along slowly In its usual self-satisfied and complacent way, the entire military activity of the country is tied up. Further, by Its tactics, the congress is holding up Important measures which are yet to be discussed and passed before the nation con attain its greatest war efficiency. The army conscription bill, passed by the serate last Tuesday after It had been charged with unnecessarily delaying the bill, did not get Into conference committee until 8 o’clock Saturday afternoon. Nothing was done on the bill at that time and an adjournment was taken until today. Prospects are that it will be three or four days—possibly more—before the conference committee reaches an agreement and it will be a day or two after that before the two houses agree to the report. It may take-even longer If the report should not be satisfactory to either of the houses. s Machinery In Shape. In ths meantime the conscription machinery of nearly all of the states has been put in shape and only awaits the President's proclamation to begin work. A number of other bills are tied up. Including the 51,800,000,000 war revenue bill; the new shipping bill; the food bill; the bill to permit the taking over of the telephone and telegraph lines, and the espionage bill. The revenue bill may be reported to the house tonight or Tuesday. A rule will be asked on it and It will be rushed through the house within a short time, although it will meet serious opposition In many respects. The revenue bill will then be taken up by the senate committee, which will hold public hearings and probably rewrite the bill. Espionage Bill Soon. The espionage bill will be passed by the senate probably tomorrow. It will then go to conference, where an attempt will be made to adjust the censorship and other provisions of the bill. The food bills will then have the right of way In both houses. These bills are in many ways the most drastic ever written and provide for the centralization of the widest and In some ways almost autocratic powers In the President. They give him entire power to regulate the sale and distribution of foods and all clothing materials and in addition give him the power to prevent Imports under an anti-dumping clause.
