woman, "until I don't want any more
of that kind of ents."
And thereby hancs not a tnle, but a
serious question. Are housewives us
ing, giving away, or actually wasting
the various starchy products, simply
because the. perhaps, too l-vlsh pur
chase of flour, which such cereals
must sccompany. has overstocked tbe
larders? la there not also danger of
a rice famine, or is a fiimlne In corn
products unthinkable? There are se
rious problems to b confronted by
the housewife, doubtless, but to waste
or not to waste should be a question
which finds no lodgment In the minds
of the truly conscientious who rea -Jze
that the supply of rice on hand Is
as absolutely limited as that of wheat
or gold. In discussing the situation
with one of the leading Ctinttanooga
grocers, he gave it as his opinion
thst a grent deal of waste Is golncr on,
or rather that people sre not using the
meal and cereals they purchase and
allow their pantries to become over

He, too, concurred In the belief that

Another incident Is related by a
grocer who said that a lady came to
his place and gave him an order which

attention was called to this, sho said
she knew the rules snd was willing to

ful of fun in the presentation of the
hilarious comedy, "The Old Maids'
Convention." Thursday evening.
The third floor of the big depart

Into a playhouse.
Before the session of "The Old
Maids' Convention." G. O. Perry, pres.
ldent of the benefit association, made
a brief talk. He reviewed the form
ing of the organization without any
funds, and reported a balance on hand
of over $1,000.
Prefaclnsr the little comedy was a
reading by Master Harry Clark, who
told of a " 'possum hunt" In true Uncle
Remus style.
Little Miss Earllne Catlln almost
convulsed the audience with laughter
in a "stuttering" recitation. For an
encore she gave "Kaiser Bill's Dream."
When the old maids filed in, the au
dience was astounded at the reality of
the costuming and the way in which
members of an amateur performance
had been able to present such a hearty
conception of their respective characters.
The cast was ss follows: '
JeruslR Eliza Bangs, president. of the
convention Mrs. E. d. Rideout.
Rebecca Retrace, secretary and
treasurer Mrs. Moore.

son. Prof. Mnkeneux TT. T. Clark.
Mrs. Rideout and Mrs. Moore espe
cially sustained their respective parts
wen as me president and, secretary ot
tne iarce convention.
Mr. Clark made an exceptionally
good Frenchman, taking' the part of
an overly polite professor, who had a
machine or nis own Invention which
would restore youth and beauty by
only taking a ride In ft.
This proposition proved in overly
attractive one to the old maids, and
after his first demonstration of his
wonderful machine they were all eager
to. take tne trip.
Casnlng out through the apparatus,
as though through the back end of a
car. completely rejuvenated as doubles

who returned from Washington re

engaging persunirlity', around whom
much local Interest .enters from the
fact of a 'Wide acquaintanceship In
C'liHttanoogn. as well as through the
Kpcelal patriotic value of her present
activities.
Mrs. Caldwell has eminently at

much that she had previously under
taken led up to a, thorough under
standing of her present work and effi

Through her activity In the State
Federation of Woman's Clubs as
chairman of the legislative committee
Mrs. Caldwell has learned to know
many In charge of the affairs of the
state. This Is of value to both her
present offices In the woman's commit

Lsgiilativs Work.
It ss during the period In which
Mrs. Caldwell was chairman of the
legislative committee and largely
through her urgent instrumentality
thnt the vital statistics bill was
passed.
Perhaps a more arduous undertak
ing was never attempted, however,
than her activity In support of the bill
securing property rights for married
women.
The story Is sn eld one, with' Its
repetition at some time or other, In
nearly every state in the Vnlon. How
ever, when the bill was passed, unani
mously by the senate, and with a ma
jority of six In the house, It was passed
over Gov. Hooper's veto.

school In Tullnhoma, when a !.00( was
first appropriated Bitd later $sr.nno,
with a per capita allowance of $10
per. annum, by the legislature.
Then came the most pronounced ap
peal In support of a bill empowering
women to serve on slate, county and
municipal boards of charity and edu
cation. Mrs. Caldwell accordingly was
the first woman appointed on sn edu
cational board, snd Mrs. John 1 Till
F.akln. of Nashville, on a, board of
charity.
The bill was passed unanimously by
the senate, but would have been lost
In the house, Mrs. Caldwell bellevei
but for the efforts of Representative
Irvine, of Hamilton county, who was
able to convince some of its opponents
of the righteousness of the bill. It Is
therefore largely through the efforts
of Mrs. Caldwell and Mrs. Jane Denny,
of Knoxvllle, that Nashville, Memphis,
Knoxvllle and Chattanooga have wo
men members on their school boards.
It was during Mrs. Caldwell's term
Addresses were made by Mr. T. R.
Preston on the thrift stamp campaign,
Mr. Frank Nelson on gardening, and
by Supt. Winder, on the work being
accomplished by the school.
Commissioner II. D. Huffaker was
master of ceremonies and introduced
the speakers.
Mr. Preston told of the Information

cerning the stroclties committed by the
Herman soldiery at the Instance of
their military leaders. The facts are In
printed form, ho said, and may be se
cured upon application. He dwelt upon
the necessity of Increased effort on the
part of the United States In the presw
ent crisis.
Mr. Nelson, tn dealing with questions
of conservation, dwelt upon the fact
thst no food 1s to be shipped Into the
section after a certain time, and It
therefore behoves the population to be
come self-sustaining. Accordingly, he
pointed out, the central and district
of office that the state federation se
cured the bill making It possible for committees sre working out the plans
one chartered organization to hold I n which gardening activities may be
multiplied by every one having his
own garden for both personal use and
marketing.
Supt Winder stressed the advan
tages of living at the present time,
when opportunities for service are so
great.
A featurs of the evenlnsr was the
playing of the Sixth Infantry band,
whose many fine selections elicited
much aplause. On tbe program, were
several patriotic numbers.
Following the addresses an informal
reception was held, both Park Place
and First District associations uniting
as hostesses. Girls of the high school
assisted. Home-mada cakes and Ice
cream were served.

Present Activities.
Regarding her work as present
chairman of food conservation of the
woman's committee of the State Coun
ell of Defense, Mrs. Caldwell's Interest
really dates from her work In the State
Federation of Woman's Clubs when
that body adopted food conservation
and production as a patriotic duty at
the convention In Tullahoma. It was
to bo the organization's special war
service and upon Its strength the wo
man's committee was formed in the
State Council of Defense. Mrs. Cald
well was given the chairmanship In
order to represent the federation.
What has been accomplished Is re
markable. Over 300,000 have signed
the Hoover pledge cards. Ninety per
cent, of this work Is due. Mrs. Cald
well says, to the efforts of ths women
ot ths state.
Activity In gardening, Mrs. Caldwell
points out, will be redoubled this year.
Mrs. Caldwell will be in Chatta
