Universal Service for Women

By FANNIE HIRST.

(Miss Buret la known to all readers , of contemporary fiction for her stories of shopgirls, waitresses and workin g girla of all sorts. She has worked as ' waitress and saleswoman hers elf, and has even made a trip across the Atlantlo in the steeragre to oh tain material for a noTeL) "If only I had a career! "Anybody can do housework!" "I used to paint before I was married." "I showed talent for burnt-leather, but my husband discouraged it." "There Is no future to domestic drudgery." "What professional or business woman has not heard these plaints from her domestic sisters frequently poured into her ears; these wails from the women who are too little or too deeply in matrimony to cultivate a vocation or an avocation. It is a conservative estimate that oight times out of ten the woman with the "if only I had kept up my music" cry (by very virtue of not having: kept it up despite all obstacles) would thereby have more vitally robbed the cradle than the public. But It is now these same women who, fretful against destiny and the boredom of routine, are in a position to render Important service to the nation in its emergency. At this moment, these home-women of the country, aching to express themselves, have it in their power to make the housewife's apron a uniform of national significance. If. the "homebody" with longings to "create" is not free to bob her hair and take up a palate, she is free to help create world freedom by "making economy fashionable, lest it become obligatory." She is free to see to it that "out there" some soldier shall be better fed, better warmed, healthier and stronger because she is part of the Great Sacrifice behind his sacrifice! For every ounce of discretion used by her in food and clothing conservation she is releasing an ounce of energy to the nation. Her ability to maneuver and prepare every article of food that comes into her house so that waste is eliminated and its nutritive power raised to the highest degree Is helping to enhance the resistive power of her country and her country's Allies. Let her not belittle the magnitude of this contribution. In all probability the woman who wanted to do burntleather Is in a position to render greater service to mankind by practising efficient thrift In her household, than by creating burnt-leather atrocities when there is a shortage of anirnals for leather as well as for meat. The Department of Agriculture has it figured out that If only a single ounce of edible food on the average is allowed to spoil or be thrown away in each of our twenty million homes, over one million three hundred thousand pounds of material are wasted each

day. It takes the fruit of many acres and the work of many people to raise, prepare and distribute four hundred and sixty-four million pounds of food a year. Every ounce of food thrown away, therefore, tends also to waste the labor of an army of busy citizens. All honor is due to the women who leave their homes to nurse and care for the wounded, but the women, who from their own kitchens are helping by economical and carefully balanced meals to release a greater degree of energy toward the cause of freedom, are dedicate i no less than they to

patriotic service. There Is no room In the home for woman's cry against its restrictions. The war has brought to every woman the great vocation of Service to her Country. That service can be rendered not only at the front. In the arts, the professions; it can be rendered from that unhonored and unsung crux of the home the kitchen!

PARENT SHIP ,

BT J. w. PEar.as. WITH THE AMERICAN DESTROYER FLOTILLA IN BRITISH WATERS. June 28 (by mail). "We can make most anything a destroyer wants from an anchor to a needle." An American sailor doing his bit aboard the big parent ship that looks after the brood of destroyers, delivered himself of this tribute to the great war vessel as, he filed away at a big piece of brass. The metal had been cast right there on the ship to make a propeller for a small boat and he was now taking off some of the rough edges. The destroyer that wanted that propeller didn't have to go ashore to get the work done. Instead the order was tent to the floating workshop which was turning out the screw in quick time and with the very best guarantee of superior workmanship. On another deck William Cline, exchef of some of the most expensive hotels in America, was standing at his table ladling food for lusty young American sailors. Stewards were filing to his table with empty trays, having them refilled, and then scurrying back to the mess-room where hungry young, sters moved in a cafeteria line to get their lunch. "I cooked In hotels In Atlantic City where they charged fancy high prices," said Cline. "But the food was no better than what we are, serving this minute to the boys on this ship." Rations are unknown. The luncheon bill was: Vegetable soup, cold ham and beef, plenty of bread and butter, tapioca pudding and coffee. The sailor Oliver Twist may keep on coming back for more till he has had enough. This luncheon bill included an item

that King George and Lloyd-George do not have today fcure white bread. The big flour magazines are stuffed with sacks of unadulterated flour and when the white-clad bakers have cleaned up the last of it there will be more coming from the United States. The parent ship supplies the destroyers with bread. It also contains the department store where sailors replenish their lockers. There is a barber shop fitted out with white-enameled equipment. And there is a hospital where human repairs go on while the workshops are fixing damaged vessels. There's a laundry, a bank, a postoffice, a miniature ice cream factory, an electrical shop, a carpenter shop there's even a jail for offending citizens of the floating community. The submarine-hunters may see aboard ship the best American movies often better than those shown at night in the single movie-show which this base town affords. The English would call her a depot, Khip. To the American Navy she is a-

Men are froin out from all walks of life to take places on the fighting line. New bands must be trained to take up the work laid down. It means that those loft behind must keep afTairs as near normal as possible. They are doing this not only for the present day with its unusual demands, but are wisely locking forward to the after-

Why American Housewives Should Dry Fruits And Vegetables

By GEORGE MARTIN (I'nited Press S tan Correspondent.)

WASHINGTON1, Aug. 4. Uncle Sam. throug-h his Department of Agriculture, today expressed the belief that one of the best ways American housewives can help conserve our food supply is by drying fruits and vegetables at home. His experts have prepared a short course In this food-saving system, so popular among grandmothers of the American housewives of today. It is designed to suit your kitchen, no matter how small or large your domestic establishment may be. The Importance attached to the plan by the Grand Old Man of the Stars and Stripes Is seen "in his statement that you are efficiently following the nation's food conservation policy if you slice 'and dry so much as a single carrot purchased when carrots are in season and cheap. This first story is to tell you why fruit and vegetable drying at home is important.- The other seven articles, all short and to the point, will tell you principles and methods of drying, how to prepare various foods for drying, home-made apparatus you heed, detailed directions for drying, precautions against insects, how to pack and store dried foods and recipes for cooking them tastily. Uncle Sam believes you should buy fruits and vegetables and dry them when they are in season and cheap, because they will constitute a reserve supply and cut your food bill later when things are higher.

In Europe dried foods are one of the biggest items of food conservation. All surplus fruits and vegetables In city markets are dried in municipal drying plants. Other government plants are built in the trucking regions. Itinerant drying machines go from farm to farm in other sections. Dried foods are very good. Many housewives even today prefer dried sweet corn to canned. Dried pumpkin and squash are excellent for pies. Snap beans string en threads and dried above the stove are fine. This country is producing enormous quantities of perishable foods this year which can be saved entirely if the surplus is dried. Tou can help do this. On farms, where root cellars and canning facilities are better. It Is "fetter lo preserve foods in those ways. The drying methods apply particularly to town and city homes, where storing facilities are scarce and cans and glass jars expensive. Dried foods will not freeze and can be shipped more conveniently than canned foods in winter. With simple and inexpensive facilities, housewives everywhere can save quantities of food too small to can. A few sweet potatoes, apples, peas or even a single turnip can be dried and saved. This would soon give you enough for a meal. Small lots of cabbage, carrots, turnips, potatoes and onions, saved by drying, can be combined for soups and stews.
