j Woman's Page AMERICAN GIRLS i RENDERED AID TOMBOYS N'EW YORK, Dec. 19. How Ameri can women In France helped to lighten ' the cares of American soldiers, feeding them with sweets, cooking for them, i dancing with them, meanwhile wash ' ing dishes and scrubbing floors, was I told today by Mrs. Vincent Astor. Af- ter eighteen months service in cnn- I teen and welfare work, while her hus band was serving with the overseas navaiy forces, Mrs. Astor has just re turned from Bordeaux where she was jn charge of a division of the Y. M. C. A. women. One of her fellow workers Vaa Mrs. Henry Russell, formerly Ethel Borden Harriman, who was mar ried in France. '. "The soldiers over there showed the i most complete gratitude and courtesy to every American woman that it ' made it intensely pleasant to be doing . things for them," said Mrs. Astor. f "Every few nights we gave a dance-' : Wc would send out a call for Amerl-1 i ' can women and all those who volun tetered were brought in by army ma- J ' chines. There were usually about 20 ; , and they would have to divide their ; time between several hundred men. ' Once wc had eight women and 2.000 , sailors. ' ; ..fp0 CVPn things up I borrowed aj : 1 bosun's' whistle and gave a signal ' ccry two minutes tq change partners.! The re3iilt was that every couple! : would have possibly twenty men fol-1 ; ! lowing alter them waiting for the nexti ; dance. No distinction was' made be-! ? twecn officers and men at such .' - dances " WINTER SHORTCAKE Did ou ever make an orange short cake? That is a good desert for win ter days and is easily made as fol lows: - First make a good shortcake dough, as for a springtime strawberry short - tcake. An excellent rule for this reads as follows: Sift together one and one ( half cupfuls of flour, one and one-half ' heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Into ; this nib one-half cupful of shortening and thpn mix to a soft dougli with ; milk. BaUe in two pans or, if pre :! ferred. divide the dough into two ' equal parts, roll one out until it fits the pan, put it in carefully and brush ; f it over well with melted butter. Then roll out the other half of the dough and place upon the first part, i When it is all done the two sections . may bo split apart easily. Peel the , i oranges, being careful to remove all ol ; the white skin, and slice as thin as possible. In a saucepan put one cup ' ful of sugar and one-half cupful of I- i water or orange juice. Let this boil . a little, but not long- enough to candy. "; ' Pour the sirup over one well beaten I egg; beat as though it wore for sake I frosting. Fill and cover the short cake with the sliced oranges and then , pour this mixture over the orange. I No other sauce is necessary. If the o)d fashioned shortcake is not wanted for this dish a simple layer cake may be made and filled and frosted in the same waj . I 8 LACE LORE Herd's an excellent way to dry clean white laces: Wash in flour, rubbing in the flour as you would with soap. Let the lace lie for some lime and then 5fj Ehake it out. If it is not quite clean I repeat the process, which will inako it like new. Tho best way to wasli lace is to squeeze it first in hot water, then in cold. To stiffen dip in milk. It should - bo pressed on a well padded board on ' the wrong side with a hot iron .: 8 PLENTY OF MILK I STwo general maxims should be learned by the people of the United : j Statos. "Every adul.t should have at ' "least a third of a quart of milk each ! ; day" and "no family of five should 1' j buy any meat until it has bought three l quarts of milk." One reason for urging the use of I much milk, is that it is our best source 'of certain mineral salts, notably lime, which the body needs. It is so easy I to uso milk in cooking thai one scarce- j A Comfortable Scalp i After Using Cuticura Dandruff, itching and irritation dis ;.

More interesting i still is the fact that for every dollar contributed by the American people for war relief work, mora than one dollar and one cent is expended for that purpose, the extra cent being pro - J J vided by interest on the funds. I The operating expenses of national j headquarters and the fourteen divis- ions in tho United States are all paid I out of a fund arising from membership I dues, not a dollar of (he funds con tributed for relief work being used for overhead expense. The total operat ing expenses for the whole country were but $2,1C1,SC5 for the fiscal year. At the time the report was prepared, there were about 8.500 persons em 'ployed in the work of the Red 'Cross j in tho United States and more than 3,500 workers overseas. As is well known, the heads of the departments of the Red Cross organization are all volunteer workers, many men and wo men of great ability having given up lucrative businesses to join in the work. Of the 6,234 paid workers, more than 5,000 receive $1,500 a year or less, the majority receiving less than $1,000. Of course these figures cover only the workers in the national and divis ional headquarters. They are not to be confused with the eight million wo men workers who volunteer their ser vices in the workrooms of the four thousand chapters of the Red Cross all ' over the country. These workers turned out over forty-four million dol lars' worth of finished articles last year. Thus it will be seen that the American Red Cross conducts one of the largest merchandising businesses in the world. During tho yenr ended June 30, Ihc Red Cross appropriated $107,716,348 to carry on its work abroad and at home. Of this over $59,000,000 went for relief in foreign countries, nearly $8,000,000 for work in the United States, about $5,000,000 for relief work in various countries on work specified by contributors, $26, 000,000 set aside for working capital and the balance for other activities. In less than eleven months the American people gave more than $300, 000,000 to Red Cross by far the great est sum ever contributed by any na tion for humanitarian work. The report concludes with a state ment of the precautions taken to safe guard Red Cross funds, saying: "There is a provision in our charter which re quires that we shall make each year to the secretary of war a full report of receipts and expenditures, which report shall bo duly audited by the war department and a copy of said re port shall be transmitted tb congress by the war department. Under this provision, auditors under the direction of tho inspector general of the war department arc constantly engaged in checking our receipts and expendi tures. Such a check, mado by public authorities, adds materially to the safeguards which we ourselves place around our funds." oo Salesman Blown To Pieces When 600 Quarts of Nitro Goes GREENSBURG, Ind., Dec. IS.

IS Joseph Burns of Pocatollo, Idaho, non-partison league campaigner, who last fall re peatedly attacked the power compan ies of Idaho for not furnishing cheap power for Idaho homes, appeared to day before the Idaho public utilities commission after having been sub poenaed to testify in the hearing be ing held on the question of the feas ibility of developing electric heating from water power sites. Burns had prepared a written state ment for the commission in which he states that he has had no technical training in the subject of hydro-electric power, and that his charges have been made as the result of observa tion and experience. His statement also declares that ho believes Idaho to have a possible water power de velopment of more than 5,000,000 horsepower. He also reiterated his belief that under state ownership this power can be dellverd at 1 3-4 cents per kilowatt, whereas the people of the state pay from $S to $10 per ton for coal. Burns denied that he has ever ad vocated open air heating by electricity as feasible. He says the electricity should be used to heat water for hot water heating plants. oo WILSON WILL VISIT LONDON NEXT WEEK LONDON, Dec. 18. Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Secre tary Balfour have changed their plan to go to Paris on Friday to meet President Wilson as it is, possible that the president vill come to London directly after Christmas. I PARIS, Dec. IS. Senator Leon Bour I geois, president of tho French Society I for n League of Nations, and Count D'Estournelles do Constant, also a dele gate to the society, gave to the Associ ated Press today a brief account of a conference they had had with Premier Clemenceau today.

DISEASE-FREE ALFALFA STRAIN The "yellowing" of alfalfa, a dis easo which has become common in many localities where alfalfa is grown and which is proving a serious menace to this valuable crop, is being studied by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture with a view of developing strains that are resist ant to the disease. Seed of alfalfa hybrids which have shown resistant qualities has been sown in the west with a view of increasing the stocks to the point where field tests can be made. oo AS TIME GOES BY.
