Hut you .in ,.nnnfi in the crcat call when It really I? .Anuria definitely In your ears and In your I kMrt. I am Just as sure of It as I am of the Inspiring record of all the women ot America who have gono beforo you. I liao Just heard two llttlo stories of vomfn's heroism In tho war-stricken zones of Europe, stories which may help to strlko Jiomo to you bomethlng of what the red borror of war really means. In England It has been necessary for tho It Itomtn to go to wont in me inuiimun im -I' torles In thousands to allow their men to IS Jnarch off to tho rigors ot mo irenencs, K a... t.n.-A I.Ann tnmttA in l.nlinr In nil nt- ! nej ji " w.,. v ....... ... It mosnhere of powerful chemicals that was turning tho English bloom of their cheeks in ugly yellow, bleaching their hair an unnatural white, and oven making thcli linger nails shrivel and drop away. Face Inaeks and gloves were provided for their Irotectlon. They served their purpose, but Ihey lessened their ability at tho vats and lenehes. and tho output of tho factories was filling- off. Tho result In at least one great plant was that the women voluntarily cast asldo tho protecting masks nnd gloves. They wero billing to bear their physical disfigurement rather than havo the supply of munitions lessened. When tho war Is llnlshed hun Jreds of English women who beforo were buom beauties of tho countryside will bo caricatures of what they onco were but Ihey it 111 have sacrificed their, physical teauty on the altar of their Hag. Here Is tho second story of women's war ucrlfice from tho horror -swept Serbian frontier: A British nurso happened on a jatlte woman, weeping plteously over n jew-mado grave. It was that of her third ind youngest son, tho last sacrifice sho had teen called upon to make in tho causo of her country. Tho nurso tried to console her ai best she could, for even a slster 'iroman's sympathy Is lame and r.wkward oefore (such a spectacle. "I am not weeping for tho loss of my ions!" sho burst out. "I am weeping to talise they left me, two grindsons who are Sot old enough to fight for their flag!" There you have it something of the trimly Inspiring but heart-gripping hero Inn which descends on the women of a country face to face with the gaunt hideous nets of war. Wo women of America do not reallie yet. In our smug, complacent, pro tected lives, tho frightful ravngos which a varrlng nation may produce. Wo havo been thrilled by the stories of Revolutionary heroism of our great-great-grandmothers, hut as something from the closed pages of history, and some of us havo been moved to our soul depths by the stories that havo drifted to us of what the women of Kuropo have done in the great moment. But that , luch conditions could ever strlko to us has been a problem too remote to bo considered. 11 . As a matter of fact, tho awful Intlmato horror of tho world war will probably never reach us but If It docs, our escape as a nation will depend In a supremo degroe upon what the women of America do to pre sent It. H Is not the extent of tho physi cal sacrifice th it counts, but tho spirit with which that sacrifice Is met. It Is not what Is taken from us, but what wo con tribute freely and voluntarily and .enthu t iMtlcally that Is going to win this war, ; yt, and'keep us as a nation from n first l Mfd acquaintance with that terrible red tloo that has deluged Europe. 1 havo ivi, fa,th ln t,la vlslon nnd splendid pos IMlltles of the women of America to know that they will rally to tho call.

Do not havo every room heated; cloe otr spare rooms. Sec there nro no cracks at floor lint of furnace, permitting air lcak ngc; into ashpit. Keep entire fuel spneo of range or furnace filled j thin fires mean waste. Feed fire nnd, shnke grate nt regular intcrvnls;' two or three times daily is sufllcient. Shnke down tho nshes before add ing coal; stop shaking when the first bright coal drops. Don't lenve feed-door draughts open, Keep the nshplt empty; sift all ashos to recover good coal dropped thiough grate. Clean flues frequently. LATE MILK DELIVERY CAUSE OF COMPLAINTS PITY THE POOR, AND ESPECIALLY THE POOR GROCERY COAL DEALER Buyer by Paper-Bag Method Pays .$7 or More Extra a Ton, While Seller Makes Only a Measly 3.50 or So The High Cost 0 Poverty h at Uast it extra charge itiltlcd to the coat nf cuch ton 0 coal you buy, if you're butting by the loose coul or paper-bap method. That art has been established by fiitiesffflatloiis mnrfc by representatives of the Evening Ledger tcorU ing xolth the llurcau of Weights and Meas ures in ok effort to ascertain lent coal con ditions. Definite instances of imdVricclflJit as rerenfrd by the official weighing of coal purchased from grocirlcs In central fVilln depMa iccrc desfribed in the Vvcning Led ger yesterday. .V010 what have these gro cers and the coal dealers Kho supply them to say for themselves? "WT CIAj, you seo tho weight figures on hag aren't Intended to ho taken too cxict," said William Oourl, who has a coal yard at Cumberland and Richmond btrcets, at about the point whero ho was explaining what a wasto of time and labor It would bo to attempt to weigh hl- bags after filling. "Then why mark tho weight on tho bags at nil 7" was suggested. "Oh, well, wo ued to weigh 'cm once, before our fillers got tho h.ing of things, nnd it wasn't necessary no more," he ox plained. A pair of broken nnd anMnuated hcales In tho rear of tho yard confirmed th s statement. "Anyway, wo weren't raised with a pencil. We wero raised with u shovel," Mr. Gourl ndilcd genially. Uelng persuaded none tho less to a tilt with the pencil, tho coal yard man with much wrinkling of brows produced the fol lowing: Cot of Tea- Coal rer Ton 13.40 to rnllronil company. 1.3B freight. 1.00 paper ling far one ton. SB KtorHRe In yard. .00 bagging charge. 1,50 charge for delivery. H.H0 total to htnuelf. As against J11.B5 per ton paid him by his customer, tho grocer and anywhere from $13. SO to tho sky got by tho latter from tho customer tho deduction is ob vious. "Then you're clearing nbout $3 per ton on this paper-bag trade?" was asked. Tho coal dealer earlier In tho conversation had "allowed" that he might bo getting something like c!een cents per "eighteen pound" bag from his cutomr, tho grocer, mid tli.it h might sometimes sipiec7o out something llko 105 bags per ton, or there nbouts. "Three dollars' Oh, no. nothing like." he Initantly disclaimed In alarm. "Must bo something wrong with those figures If wo made $3 n ton we'd be making money. I must havo forgotten something, or elso we've added 'em up wrong You know what figures are. They're tho darndest liars." Meantime, $8.50 from $11 53; tho dealer's profit stands $3 OS per ton until this dealer can recollect what Item ho has forgotten. "IIlT-Oll-JIISS" AT YARDS The same lilt-nr-ml Mstem of gauging weight wns found prc.lll,t!g at tho Phila delphia nnd Heading fiolght j.inli Ara- mlngo ftcnuo and Cedar street, wlirro a group of workmen were rapidly filling paper bags for another coal company. How do you know this coal weighs eight een pounds? Don't you use scales7" was axked. "Well, no ; the scales are over at tho other yard," tho man admitted. "IJut wo get fo wo can pretty ucuily always tell," ho added "Of course, onco In a whllo a bag may run short, but Just as often it's the other way. Of tcner. It proved In this case ; for of eight bagfuls cured from tho nrd to a nrarbv grorerv store for weighing, so; en were found slightly oer tho eighteen poundi marked on the bag, only the eighth regis tiling seventeen pounds, toon ounces, or nlni" ounces short, In Its bag. ' Wo frel the profit we're getting on this la" of trade low enough," said William T. Uould. at hl olllce, 1814 nelgrade street. 'Think or tho trouble it gives getting I: delhercil It tnkcq three of our men a whnlo dav and oertlme with nn nutomohllo truck Just tiPput out 1500 lings, or a llttlo short of fifteen tons With loose coal by the ton tho same truck could havo handled nt least fifty tons " There Is something about tho coal busi ness makes men avaricious. It wns observed by the coal man with pain. "Look nt the charcoal producer, rapacious rascal, raising his price every month vr so, nil on tho pre test ho has to licit) out tho f,oeinment v supplying roko for the big steel Indus trle. Look nt the boys who conic nround to help with the bagging, always the same cry, more' moro! And tho scalawag of a grocer, nfter ho gets tho paper-bag coal, forever watching for a chanco to ralso his prlco threo or four cents per bag to J1I.1 customer! "And us getting only eleven cents a bag," Mr. Oould ended sadly Hard, hard Almost makes ono feel like miltting .altogether to hear of such measly llttlo profti at only $3 50 per ton.

Marine U. S. Navy The Russian and Italian disasters have put a stimendous bur den upon us-and we are face to face with appalling facts. UPON OUR NAVY DEPENDS OUR ABILITY TO TRANSPORT OUR ARMIES AND THE FOOD AND MUNITIONS. WITHOUT WHICH THEY AND OUR ALLIES AND WE, TOO, MUST PERISH. The efficiency of our navy depends upon THE MEN WHO MAN THE SHIPS J What are we doing for our sailor boys? What are we doing for these gallant lads so young, so full of courage and enthusiasm, so bravely facing a dark, uncertain future? Bitter winter weather is close upon us and OUR NAVY MUST KEEP THE SEA. IN ICY WINDS, ON DECKS OF BATTIFSHIPS AND DESTROYERS, ON COAST PATROLS. ON TRANSPORTS. IN TRENCHES THEY ARE FREELY OFFERING THEIR LIVES IN DEFENSE OF THEIR COUNTRY. WHAT OF US WHO STAY T HOME? How shall we show that we nnnreciate their snerifice? THEY DESERVE THE BEST THEIR COUNTRY CAN GIVE THEM! Let us send them comfortable garments to keep their bodies warm! Let us warm their hearts with cheering news from home! We must send them books, newspapers, maga zines, tobicco, c?ndv, ?nns nnd ;m!":r"nt'" to mss the long monotonous hours. FOR THEY LEAD THE LONELIEST LIVES IN THE WORLD. The Red Cross and the Navv Dcmrtmcnt have perfected a co-oner?.tive plan of assem bling and distributing all articles wh'ch the mn may need and with which their fellow countrymen should and must provide them. The Red Cross has instructed its Divisions and three thousand Chanters to create Navy A"xi1nri"5 t'Touf h which these gifts and tokens of grntitude mav be mndc nnd fnrwardH to a RM Cros-. N-vr.l Storehouse, estl'fd for this purnose bv the Navv Department at League Island with a nav-riater specially in charge. There will be no duniirntion. no neglect, nor nvrsunn'v. for nil Captains of shins and Com mandants of Naval Stations have been directed to keep the Red Cross Headquarters apprised of exactly what their men need. I appeal to all patriots and all patriotic crfjs-.sTat'ons, especially interested in the navy, lo volunteer at once for this service, and I hope that all branches and existing auxilia ries of the Red Cross will extend their facilities to include this navy work. The first official report shows: 275,000 GARMENTS ARE NEEDED AT ONCE! Philadelphia is the center of the shipbuilding and munition industries, and with its great navy yard, must shoulder its responsibility and do its part. LET A GRATEFUL CITY RELYING ON THEIR VALOR TAKE CARE OF THESE SAILOR MEN.
