I Is Against Soldiers Getting Back Jobs
I By RUTH RAPHAEL,
m yffl-ISS ROSE YOUNG, director of the
Leslie Woman Suffrage Bureau in
New York city, laid down hr
morning paper after reading that the
National Association of Manufacturers
have announced an "open door" to every
coldler and sailor who seeks to return to
his former Job.
"You see," she commented, "they al
ways think In terms of men. That an
nouncement Is a pood Illustration j: the
way employers look at the case. Cer
tainly, tho question Is not so simple as
that! Certainly they havo not done their
full duty to aoclcty when they take care
of only one sex!"
"Then you criticise the. attlludo of tho
employer who reinstates the returning sol
dier?" I asked.
"Yes, I ctitlelro that attitude which la
characteristic of statesmen, business men
and men generally."
"But how about our gratitudo to the re
turning soldier?"
"Our gratitude to the soldiers Is bal
anced by cur gratitude to the women who
took up their burdens at home."
Survival of the Fittest.
"Do you suggest that tho men be left
to shift for themselves?"
"f suggest that tho whole question be
sifted down to the survival of the fittest.
Tho employer s.iould dccldo wholly from
tho angle of fitness. It shouldn't be be
cause a man's a man, or a woman's a
woman, but because ho or she can best
fill tho place.
"This second displacement of labor i3
the biggest problem we have before us.
-s tho men come back from tho front,
thoy're going to want their Jobs back.
What is to become of tho women who are
In those Jobs? Are they to bo told to go
home, or are we to have the question of
the jobs settled by the survival of the
fittest'"
"Wouldn't wc have a desperate struggle
between the sexes If employers adopted
tho survival of the fittest plan?"
"It may look now as If we are going to
have a conflict between men and women,
but I believe the demands of reconstruc
tion are going to be so excessive asto
engage the best talent of both sexes. It
isn't as if there's going to be a scarcity
of places. We have the whole world to
icmakc. Nobody Is going to bo shoved
off entirely."
"We're going to get many , scare?,
which will turn out to oc bogles. We're
always trying to settle something In our
minds that settles Itself. '

chosen, however, according to tho uac of

worked in one color only, as black or tan,

Young continued.
"In the past, for some unfathomable
reason, the men workers saw a menace
to themselves In that proposition It is. In
fact, their main protection, and they
should demand it with and for the women.
"The men must be protected In Industry
by that principle. It's nonsense to talk
about Its protecting the women. Union

have enmo to see the error of Iholr earlier
conception."
"And what part shall the consumer play
In reconstruction?" I asked. "Shall the
woman who used to spend freely start cir
culating monoy as enthusiastically as she
did before the war?"
"Tears ago," Miss Young answered, "I

might have gone into some ablo social dis

obligation.
"It Is something we Just have to prac

product."
"'Nevertheless. Isn't It natural," I asked,
"that there should be a tremendous re
action toward luxuries?"
"That will depend upon to what extent
the individual curb3 herself. There Is a
temptation. In our present lift of spirit,
to spend money in celebration without
getting value received for the world at
large.
"If wo relax now there will be an In
crease of poverty all over the world.
Distress which should be relieved, will
not be relieved, and there will be a
pinching and cramping here and there.
"Another result of extravagance would
be a demoralization of the tremendous
force that has developed for the individual
and community out of tho war We have
been holding ourselves for the highest
kind of communal endeavor. We don't
want the strength of that concentration
to be dissipated Wc want it made still
more effective for good." '
In other words, look out for that "oh.j
gee? the war's over. 1 believe I'll got out
and celebrate" feeling.

FOR HOLIDAY FARE.
"Eat less meat," appeals the Food Ad
ministration. This appeal, issued on ihh
brink of the holiday season, should make
every patriotic American stop rnd think.
The appeal would not be made were H not
for good reason. The appeal Is really ono
for sacrifice on the part of the American
people at home. Tt aoka them to sacri
fice their traditional gorging with meats
at Thanksgiving. Christmas and New
Ycar'F. This seems no small thing to do
but It is ludicrous when contrasted with
the sacrifices cf tho Americans abroad.
Many a patriotic American will gatnily
sit down this Thanksgiving, this Christ
mns and this New Tear's, not to the tra
ditional turksy or goose, but to a baked
codfish HnllVm or haddock.
Perhaps nmorg the expensive American
customs ended by the war will be that of
celebrating, holidays with gluttony of
meats. Nor will the substitution of flab be
a disadvantage. On the contrary. It will
be an advantage, bot.i from tho standpoint
of economy and of health
And. anyway, tho codfish is as essen
tially an American dish as turkey, and
more 00 than tho Teutonic goose.

Stopping Is French Method of Mending
STOPPING is the French method of
invisibly repairing a hole or burn of
any size In homespuns or tweeds.
The work needs careful attention, but is
most interesting, it Is done in the follow
ing manner :
Cut the sides of the burn straight along
a thread of the cloth Into a square or ob
long, according to the extent of the dam
age, and tack it flat on to a pleco of cloth,
fa"- upward, an In Figure 1. If you have
not any spare material to match the gar
ment, a piece should be cut from the back
of the hem, which itself can be repaired
with something eise. The patch must be.
If posslole, at least two inches wider and
deeper than the hole, otherwise the re
peated threading of the needle with such
short strands Is apt to be tedious.
Begin by unravelling the patch on each
side until the remaining centre Is one ad
ditional thread larger each way than the
cut out damaged square, which it must
exactly correspond to in pattern, so that
when this long fringed mat Is placed over
the hole It Just overlaps by precisely one
thread each side. It must then be tacked
down, face upward, on to the cloth to
Give a Wide Berth
to Fruitless Worry
VOLUMES have been written on the
folly of worrying or of thinking
that only disappointment or failure
awaits one at every turn. Any person
who becomes thus melancholy certainl
finds life a most trying affair. If she Is
a mother her pessimistic views cast a deep
gloom over her entire household, and as a
result both grown-up and little ones posi
tively dread home coming.
All too many of us worry needlessly and
cheat ourselves out of many of life's real
delights. We are prone to see only trying
features about us and as a result we are
constantly harassed by all sorts 'of gloomy
forebodings
Why can't we remember that there arc
at the present moment thousands and.
yes. hundreds of thousands of brave, un
complaining workers who toll hard all day
and when evening shadows fall return to
what they call home, but what ma be in

I Victim or Conquerer.

A certain woman not Ion? ago felt blue
and tired, but aomc Jnftlnct urged her to
assert her will powor to get out into the
frost-charged atmosphere, away from her
eternal tasks and their eternal worries.
As she walked along the sharp wind
brought roses Into her drawn chceks( and
then well, she began to see things. Over
in the western sky tho sun was sink
ing, its last rays flooding hill and val
lev with crimson licht. Tho glorjous pic
ture roused her leaden spirits. Life, with
Its ups and downs, seemed good after all,
and the tired, work-worn men and women
who passed her stood out heroes and hero
ines of a peerless mold. That woman re
traced her steps . fccllnpr not only braver
and stronger, but firmly convinced that
she who goes about It In the right spirit
assuredly finds a certain meed of happi
ness. Worry may be compared to any deadly
disease and its victims arc innumerable.
And if we don't want to becomo one of
tho unhappy throng we must, wherever
our lines are cast, adapt ourselves to
circumstances. Airing our grievances and
literally looking for more will Inevitably
result In our becoming downright miserable.

Draw the stitch firmly, but not too

sides has disappeared from the face of

THE FOOD VALUE OF APPLES I
ALMOST every one knows that apples
arc healthful. But a great many
do not know that they arc among
; the most nutritious of fruits and that their
. value in this way is higher than that of
; many every day foods commonly regarded
as Indispensable to our fables.
One pound of raw apples, has the food
fuel value of 250 calorics. Translated Into
' everyday terms this means that apples
have about three-fourths tho nutritive
1 value of potatoes, and, as every one
knows, potatoes are a solid and depend
' able food.
Here aro two ways of making the
most of the autumn apples. "
Mint Jelly.
The best mint Jelly Is made with the
Juice of slightly unripe apples as a basis.
Wash fresh mint leaves thoroughly. To
one cupful of mint leaves (packed solid)
add one cupful of boiling water, net tho
mUturo on the back of tho otovc and
steep It for one hour. Lay a pleco of
cheesecloth over a bowl, pour the s:eeprd
mint leaves into It, twist the ends of
the cheesecloth and press out all the
moisture.
To one cupful of apple Juice add one
to two tablespoonfuls of mint Juice, I
the mint flavor Is not sufficiently pro
nounced add a drop or two of mint ex
tract. Use three-fourths cupful of sugar ,
to each cupful of apple juice and boil ;
the mixture rapidly until tho Jelly test
Is obtained. Just before It is poured lno
the scalded glasses color It green with
vegetable coloring matter.
Sugarless Apple Butter.
Quarter, peel and core and chop two
pounds of medium sized apples. Place :
these in a stew pan. with cinnamon fln.d
a few tablespoonfuls of water. Cook the ;
whole gently with lid on and smooth VM
purde with a whisk when dishing up. j
Servo this sauce lukewarm with duck,
goose or rabbit, or pack into sterime0 j
Jars and seal. )
