.COMMUNITY KITCHEN ENDS HELP PROBLEM FOR ILLINOIS WOMEN
(By Associated Press) EVANSTON. 111., Oct. 15. Evaneton's servant problem has been partially solved and the Evanston community kitchen has become a markedly successful institution through the efforts of three women, whose latest contribution to home-keeping is the intro duction of what they say is the most satisfactory thermal container yet perfected. The Evanston kitchen, which is now more than a year old, has become a model after which numerous similar kltpbpna hnv hopn nnttArnprl nit nvpr
the country. It delivers hot meals to J
the home by motor truck. The Evanston kitchen is an outgrowth of the war. In the summer of 1918, the Evanston Woman's Club conducted a particularly successful community kitchen. The clubs record for ne season. was 7,000 jars of fruit and vegetables most of which went to charitable institutions. When the influenza epidemic struck the country in the fall of that year, the club extended its activities and for a time served an average of 200 meals daily to those who were stricken and their families. From these activities came the idea of a permanent kitchen and its establishment was due to three members of the Woman's Club, Mrs. James A. Odell, Mrs. Rufus C. Dawes and Mrs. Homer 11. Kingsley. Help Shortage. ' Evanston has been suffering from a shortage of domestic help," said Mrs. Odell. in explaining the plan. "Everywhere women, especially young mothers, are finding it impossible to do all that is required of them, to take care of the babies and the house, and have any leisure for the homecoming of the husband. An increasing number of families are frequenting the hotels and cafes, sacrificing family life and interests to necessity. We felt that by delivering dinners to such homes a service would be rendered not to those families alone, but to society as well, by preventing the disintegration of the home and the annihilation of the family table." The big -c.blem, however, proved to be an adequate container. From the experimental stage to the perfected aluminum, glass-lined dish, these three women, who have now incorporated the Evanston Community Kitchen and serve an average of 100 meals everv evening, claim the distinction of developing the best thermal containers now in use. Delivered by Truck. A complete meal is prepared in the kitchen, placed in suitable thermal dishes, heated to a high temperature.
and the portions enclosed in a large i
thermal container. The food retains its orlgnal temperature approximately six hours, so that it is still piping hot when it is delivered to the patron's home by motor truck. The empty dishes are collected the following morning and the housewife is relieved of all concern over her evening meal. For the service, a charge of 85 cents for each meal is made, plus 25 cents delivery charges. The kitchen has already proved a paying proposition and its success has been so marked that representatives from Los Angeles to Cleveland have visited the kitchen to get pointers for establishing similar institutions in their own communities.
THE FORUM
Some superannuated individuals along the Main street of our fair city are greatly agitated over the action of a few Earlham students who saw fit to advertise one of the biggest football games of the college year by the use of a little whitewash, and a ready brush. These individuals, in the estimation of some, are making a mountain out of a mole hill, in an effort to find some reason to attack Earlham and excuse themselves for not contributing to the recent campaign which was staged by the college. The '"Whitewashed Merchant" who gives so generously of his time to running down a harmless college prank, should live in a regular college town a short time; after which he would probably come to. the conclusion that an application of whitewash to a few dusty windows was not such an abominable offense. The statement that every merchant on the street has his "dander" up as a result of the visit is rather broad and one that could hardly be supported In fact. One of the objections that has always been raised about Earlham is that they have lived over on the west side and had their affairs all to themselves without letting the towns people know what was going on, and then the first time they show a few signs of life, some decrepit individual yells like a stuck pig. I helped wash one of the windows and of course would not care for them to pay me a visit every night, but at
the same time I say more power tr
them. When they have a team let everybody know jt so that they can get behind it. Also Whitewashed.
ENGLISH AUTHORITY ASSERTS BOLSHEVIKI WRECK COTTON TRADE
t (By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 15. Russia's great pre-war cotton industry has suffered to such an extent during the revolution that it is doubtful whether many of the mills ever will be able to operate again, says Sir Charles Macara, an English authority in the world's cotton trade, in an interview in the Yorkshire Post. Based upon information obtained from an Englishman who recently returned from Russia, where for 14 years he was the manager of a large cotton factory near Moscow, Sir Charles estimates that of the 9,000,000 spindles running in Russia before the revolution not more than 200,000 or 300 000 are now operating. Industry Nationalized. The experiences of the English manager of the Moscow factory were told as an example of the methods - employed by revolutionists in dealing with one of Russia's great industrial assets, the textile factories in the Moscow district. This particular mill carried on all the processes from cotton spinning to the finished product, 17,000 workers having been employed under normal operating conditions. When the bolsheviki assumed power the whole cotton industry was nationalized. At every mill committees were formed and finally,' in October, 1919, a decree was issued that all who had been connected with the '"former owners would have to leave. With the experts gone, the mill stopped. After a time attempts were made to re-start
tain raw cotton. Small quantities were
obtained, which after being diluted with 75 per cent waste, was put through the processes. Machinery Damaged. The machinery now is in a very bad state, in such a state, in fact, that it would be almost impossible to operate the factory properly, according to the information given Sir Charles.
Whenever machines are damaged, other machines are denuded of parts to repair them. Sir Charles stated that there was little possibility of English workmen going to Russia for employment in textile factories. Mills in Germany and Austria were turning out only from 25 to 30 per cent of the normal production, he said, and English workers faced the almost impossible task of making up for the four and a half years' stoppage of textile manufacture owing to the war.
TOURIST STEALS LIGHT BULB; AUTHORITIES CLOSE FORT (By Associated Press) PARIS, Oct. 15. A lesson to tourists too anxious to take away with them souvenirs of the battlefront has just been given by the military authorities of Fort Vaux at Verdun, which has hitherto been open to visitors o Verdun. The authorities have decided to close the fort indefinitely. A few days ago a tourist took possession, doubtless as a souvenir, of an electric lamp bulb. He was indiscreet enough to make a flourish of the bulb in the Verdun cafe. The military authorities confiscated the bulb and then came the order making the fort "out-of-bounds" to visitors.

!P REED'S EZZ:
ANNOUNCE An Important Service Addition for the Convenience of Their Customers a New Plan Allowing 3 Months to Take Cash Discount The idea is simple and from actual tests we know it will meet with the approval of the public. Under this new arrangement you PAY ONE-FOURTH DOWN AND ONE-FOURTH EACH MONTH To Illustrate You select, for instance, a rug at $60.00, the regular price. The first payment is $15.00, then a month later you pay $15.00, the next month $15.00, and the third month $9.00 (instead of $15.00) and receive credit for $6.00 to balance the account. Thus you pay only $54.00 for the rug, which is truly worth $60.00, its regular price. It is true that it is much easier and often more convenient to pay in four payments instead of one. All of us have our money invested or coming due in ways which make this plan very agreeable and you secure exactly the same discount as though you paid spot-cash, or in 30 or 60 days. And now, while money is the most valuable, this plan will enable many persons to take advantage of the cash discount who ordinarily would not be in a position to do so. This plan, therefore, gives you a full month longer to take the cash discount than our previous methods. Those who desire longer than three months will be accommodated as usual with our convenient charge account plan.
