fish market receives a large sup
ply of one kind, so it may be
more economical to ask the
prices of various kind, before
ordering. Dried or salted fish,
such as finnan haddie, cod and
mackerel are, of course, cheaper,
but they require more time to

Next to Army. French Women's
Spirit Helps Most in Victory
"To work ilone. that is the hardest
things." Under the leather suit of a
"munitionctte" she wore the black of
aTwidow's mourning. A perfect fury
for work, her task is one of the hard-est-r-to
run the "mill" which turns out
its hundreds of shells every day. In
her leather uit with goggles in her
helmet, she seems a figure from some
Dantesn dream, fighting with fire
where men 10 paces away flinch for
their eyesig'ii in the glare.
"Next to cur soldiers, it is ta the
French women that we ow victory,"
savs Millerand in the Revue Bleue.
"Women have reoiaced men not only
in the manufacture of war material
but in all departments of the larger
industrial life. Her ettort permits
France to li behind the lines while
men are battling at the front. In tlx

works the hydraulic presses, dis
charges trucks and wagons, and'welds
brass. In addition she takes upon her

molds and crucibles, porcelain and
faience. There are factories where
she makes r-;'ass. Industries of pre
cision invite her. One can see her at
Nancy and Lyons making files and
compasses, at raris electric lamps.
At Home In Sawmills.
"The divers industries of wood
working used to be reserved to men.
.Today womer. are at home in saw
mills. One sees them now near Paris
constructing the Adrian barracks for
the ministry cf war. The same is ue
of other industries, into which they
had not ventured before '1914. Lack
of men has forced the employment of
women in the manufacture of drugs,
chemicals and asphyxiating gas. In
the leather industries they manipulate
the green skins, wash them, remove
the hair, color them, and tan the
leather, mak? varnished leather, and 1 Paris.
conduct the various! processes of glove
making." 1
In the food industries, quite, out

sideration by themselves, they con

time they are reported as working in
starch and glucose factories. Wine

upon old men, women and young

far as possible, and particularly . in
coke drawing.
In Metal TradesA - '
According to the .October 1917, re
port of the United States Bureau of .
Labor Statistics, an, increasing num
ber of women are employed in the
metal trades, where their work has
proved satisfactory even in the heav
ier tasks. In certain French cities 14
to 30 per cent of all employes in these
trades are women. . In the manufac
ture of poreclain products in 33 estab
lishments nearly half are women.
In some degree it was, easier for
women to take iheir places in French
industry than in the professions..' In
spite of Mme. Curie and other noted
professional women, Francehas never
wclcopied thern among its physicians,
lawyers or scientists. The first time
that a woman has spoken from the

Advice to the Lovelorn

T HAVE no time to dss for dinnerl" Many women of leisure "up to
to their eyes, in war work realize now what their business sisters
have been facing so long. How to look" well dressed 'for work and
appear fresh and trim for dinner is indeed a problem, of which the one-piece
dress of serge or jersey cloth furnishes the best solution. The novel ad
justable collar and cuffs of this frock of dark blue jersey cloth are a happy
thought of the designer. 1 ne collar extends m long ends, which reverse and
button at the waist line. This collar may be putty-colored jersey or white
pique. A polkadot tie of blue and tan, or white and blue, complete a dress
which will lift the wearer above the commonplace in an assembly ot
women bent on useful work and make her decidedly ornamental later in
restaurant or at her own table.

to grow I mast not weaken myself by Tun

my going out with any girl unknown to
them, and whose people they do not know,
as they say that there are just as many
pitfalls for mn and boys as there are for
girls, but to show me that they are not

It seems to me that your parents are
sane, friendly, "chummy" folks, and that a

A QUARTER of a century ago a steer was just a steer
narrow-backed, lean and slab-sided running largely to
hoofs and llorns. The dressed beef yield was as low in qtian
lity as it was inferior in quality.
YOU would scorn such coarse, tough meat today.
But If livestock conditions were now as they
were then, this would be the only kind of beef you
could get'
And not only that, but you would be paying a great
deal more for it I
- Meeting Present Day Needs
FOR the amount of meat per head furnished by
these low grade cattle would not begin to sup
ply present-day needs.
- Though present prices, caused by an abnormal war-'
demand, seem high, they would shrink into insig
nificance compared with what they would have be
come, had not Armour and Company long ago begun
the work that has been responsible to a considerable
degree for the raising of the broad-backed, high
grade beef steers of today. .
By establishing receiving and killing plants close to
the sources of supply, by developing and operating
a chain of refrigerators on wheels, by perfecting a
rystem of over ,400 branch-house distributing sta
tions, Armour has provided selling outlets and cer
tain markets for the producer for twelve months in
the year.
It has become profitable for the livestock grower to
grade up his cattle standards 1 - ( v
These beef-producing cattle furnish more meat and
a larger proportion of better quality meat at prac
tically the same feeding cost as that of the scrub
cattle of former years.
' i' " ' '. ..
Hfelps Growers and Users
THIS has resulted in better returns for the grower,
while heavier yield and improved quality in
turn has held down prices to consumers.
It is in such fundamental ways as this that Armour,
and Company are rendering a broad, economic serv
ice to the American public.
And because Armour service directly relates to the
prices you pay for meat, when you specify Armour
meats and other food products for your table you
are making it possible to extend this service still
farther.
