Dangers to Women .
In War Industries
v -
Hot Springs, Ark., May 6. Dangers
to women in industry, suddenly
"plunged into occupations to which
'.. they were unaccustomed before the
nation! entrance into the war, were
. emphasized by Mrs Minnie'U. Rutherford-Fuller,
social worker, graduate
- lawyer, and a representative of Amer
ica at The Hague conference of wo-
. men, who addressed the biennial con
vention of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs here this afternoon.
: She is president of the Arkansas Wo
men's Christian Temperance union
and chairman of legislation for the
Arkansas Federation of Women's
' , Club -
Because so many of , the occupa
tions are new to women they are de-
; void of the safeguards which have
beejn slowly built' in occupations, not
new to women, she added, urging that
if erirls could not be kept from mes
senger service they should at least
b? excluded from night work; that
evator girls be guaranteed proper
working conditions; that women rail
way and street car conductors needed
protection from men as well as ade
nuate wages, and that juvenile courts
ewer the Country indicated demoral
ization in family life, showing an in
crease of from 35 fo 75 per cent in
juvenile delinquency.
The evils can be averted and
remedied by men and women working
together, she declared, although for
many of the" club women it may re
quire a 24-hour day instead of an 8
ncur day. ,The taskhe outlined was
.o co-operat with all existing agen
cies in maintaining existing social
standards, lifting higher standards,
keeping wages in sight of the cost of
living, prohibiting night work for
. women .and girls and arranging for
ich "hour shifts" for women so that
time will be left to keep the home
Sres burning and that wages will be
adequate to keep the fires "fueled."
Man Power Wasted.
Pointing to the vast potential value
of man power now going to waste in
the United States through lack of
means to utilize idle forces in produc
tive employment and declaring this a
timely hour in which "to give the man
in the shadow in our prisons the proud
privilege of contributing to the
world's need," Mrs. G. A. Brown of
Mangum, Okla., urged delegates to the
biennial to support a bill already in
troduced in congress which seeks util
ization of the labof of federal and
other prisoners in the manufacture of
government supplies, especially those
; for war purposes.
Mrs. Brown has advocated many
lines of prison reform, having had
charge of that work in the General
Federation of Women's Clubs. She
is a member of the Southern Sociolog-
s ical congress and Oklahoma represen
tative of the war board of the na
tional committee on prison and prison
labor.
"Work is the prisoner's right," said
she, "a blessing without disguise to
those condemned to idleness and soli
tude. But it should be under condi
tions which do not debase the state
nor degrade the prisoner. As he is now
called to labor for his country as a
form of war service, the consciousness
that he is thus squaring his account
with society will bring increased self
respect and new courage with which
k face the world upon release."

Soda Fountain
- Language in Fort
Omaha Canteen
, One must be very proficient to work
in the canteen at Fort Omaha. You
may think you know the name of
every frozen delicacy in existence,
but we defy you to fill the orders of
these chaps who come from "Some
where east of Suez," for they speak
f. foreign language in the sundae
line.
You see, in that educational center,
commonly known as Hartford, Conn.,
a sundae is all dressed up with a
euphonious! title, viz., "college ice,"
' so when one of these boys with a
back east accent and a slur on the
last "r" asks you for a college ice
just bring him back an ordinary dish
of Ice cream with a few cherries on it
. and he will be .perfectly happy.
And don't be alarmed when a dash-
, in chap with a white band on his hat
insists on having a "peanut butter
' scotch sundae," for' you will know
that he is from Scranton, Pa., and
that this delectable dish is just a
. habit with him.
In the sunny south every one in
dulges in "dopes," as they are fondly
called. There are numbers of men
at the post whose sentences are in
tercepted with numbers of "you alls,"
and they tell us that we don't make
their favorite coca colas as they do
at home. ,
Our homely but ipopular sundae is
known in Noo Yawk as a "frat,"
just why we don't know, for, when
all is said and done, it's just the came
dif h exactly. .-
. The canteen is the most popular
pastime at the fort wlthput a doubt,
tor a most attractive captain who had
iust arrived from Camp Grant, told
Mellificia so.
"It really is most interesting," said
'this erstwhile Yale man, "especially
as they change, the scenery every few
hour. . Of course, we all know he
meant the blue-veiled canteeners.

Plain Gingham
and Pique
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD
GINGHAM shows no abatement in
its attack on summer fashions. In
waves of color from plaids to plain
and back again to stripes, it crowds
the landscape and is always good
style. There are many "silk ging
hams," but the cotton fabric is just as
attractive if well made. Black and
white plaid with a line of red makes
this fetching frock whose waistcoat,
skirt border and cuffs are white pique.
White pearl or black bone buttons are
a good touch. The hat is made of
matching gingham, and, like the slen
der waist, wears a black patent leath'
er belt. This frock is so easy to
make. The simplest' shirtwaist and
plain gathered skirt pattern may be
used as a guide.
Parties At the Theater. .
Miss Ruth Mills will entertain at a
box party at the Orpheum this eve
ning. After the theater the guests

Egg Shampoo Abolished
By Texas Barbers
Texas barbers; who have been co
operating with the federal food admin
istrator in that i state through their
organisation, announce that they will
abolish egg shampoos for the period
of the war as a conservation measure,
many thousands of eggs used for this
purpose yearly being diverted from
human food. Another food article
widely used for shampoo purposes
in normal times is -olive oil.
Potato Butter
Fotato butter is recommended by
the British ministry of food as a
cheap substitute for butter, being
made in England at a cost of less than
10 cents a pound, as follows:
"Feel the potatoes and boil until
they fall to pieces and become floury,
Then rub them through a fine sieve
into a warmed basin 14 ounces of
potatoes and add two ounces of but
ter or margarine and one teaspoonful
of .salt. Stir until smooth and then
mold into rolls and keep in a cool
place. To make the appearance ap-
provable use butter coloring, and if
intended to keep beyond a few days a
butter preservative should be added."

The entertainment given by the

can Revolution, at the Blackstone on
