STATE HEADS DISCUSS
WOMEN IN WAR WORK
Mrs. Raymond Robins Tells Confcr
enco in Washington of Stand
ards Established
TCftahtniton, March 26. Industrial
questions growing out of tho war were
discussed at a conference hero today of
the state chairmen of Women In Indus
try. Tho confcience was called by tho
woman's commlttco of the Council of
National DefenHi. Mrs. Ilavmond
Jlobins, wlfo of Major Itobins, who Is
now In Russia for tho American Ited
Cross and who Is chairman of the
Illinois committee, spoke on standards
for women In Industry, Including thoso
established by tho leaguo and thosa
Issued by the ordnance department of
the Army, commonly known as Cleneral
oiders numbers 13.
Another speaker was Miss Agnes Nes
tor, chairman of the women In Indus
trial department of the women's depart
ment. She stated would soon leave for
Hngland as a member of the group In
vited by the British commltteo on public
Information to confer with Hngllsh labor
leaders. Miss Mellnda Scott, of New
York, who also spoko briefly, will ac
company, her.
n.l.aat, March 26. The linen Industry
Is at present? passing through a critical
stage. Tho scarcity of Has and tho
high cost of the fiber, with tho conse
quent Increase In tho price of tho man
ufactured articles, has hn,i it,o ,.,
of driving linen largely out of tho
market for many varieties of domestic
articles and tho substitution of compel-
nig lanrics, noianiy cotton goodl.
On the other hand, tho enormous de
mand for airplane linen, not only for
Ilrltlth airplanes, but-also for American,
French and Italian machines. Is keeping
those linen mills of Ulster, which are
adapted for weaving this class of ma
terial, working at high pressure, and
tho factories In Belfast and district aro
producing millions of yardo of this cloth.
It Is not possible to give In detail what
Is being done In this respect, but when
tho war la over and many secrets nro
revealed It will bo found that no In
dustry has contributed mora to the suc
cessful profpcutlon of military opera
tions than tho linen mills and factories
of Ulster.
Tho chief difficulty confronting the
whole of the linen trade at present Is
the maintenance of an adequate supply
of tlax. Dependcuco for tho main
supplies of flax upon countries which
were cither Insldo or closely bordering
upon the war zone has emphasized the
need of Insuring that as large a portion
as possible of tho flax required should
be produced within the United Kingdom
or Its dominions. Itussla was tho matn
source of supply for flax, but tho chaotlo
developments In that country have
awakened the responsible departments
to the necessity of making sure that
tho needs of the empire shall have first
call upon all raw material. Conse
quently, the Government early In the
present year prohibited, except under
permit, any treatment of flax, flax lino
or flax tow, while recently they have
prohibited tho export of linen tissues.
Tho object of this latter order Is not
quite clear, for there are many forms
of linen tissues, such as material for
handkerchiefs, sheets and other domestic
articles, which could scarcely bo adapted
to national purposes; but tho Govern
ment, whllo wishing to conserve tho sup
ply of flax. Is, It Is contended. In
troducing unnecessary and perplexing
problems for tho linen manufacturers,
who are already doing all In their power
to meet the demands for national pur
poses. STENOISTS GIVE GOLD

CANNING AND PRESERVING
Collect nil used Jars.
Examine each carctullu.
Discard all defective containers and damaged tops.
Clean all usable jars and store with tops In place.
Order any additional Jars needed and lay In a supply 0 new rubber

Make sure that the clean u-aslirbollcr or other large vessel that you
Kill use lor your hot-water bath Is free from leaks. Examine and test
pressure or other special canning apparatus If you have It.
If you use a icasli-boller or large pall provide a false bottom of slats

GKIUIAN Intrigue In drecco and how
all plans to bring former King Con
stnntlne and Premier Venlselos together
In support of the Allies were frustrated
by the Kaiser's agents were rxplnlned
this morning by Dcmatra Vnka (Mrs.
Kenneth Brown), tho author to 11
big audience In tho llttz-Carlton Hotel.
Born In Greece and raised to young
womanhood In Athens. Mrs. Brown Jour
neyed to her native land from France
early last jear, Hho had many Inter
views with King Constantino and tho
l'remler, but failed In her efforts to
bring them together. She did, however,
obtain much first-hand Information con
cerning tho workings of German prop
agandists, and this hIiv told partly to
day, In Greece, Mrs. Brown said, the Ger
man propagandists circulated reports
that America would never enter tho war.
They told tho Grecian people that every
ninth person In tho United fitntes was
n German who could be depended upon
to keep America from Joining the Allies.
Due to this propagnnd.i, sho said,
Greece Is now a "benevolent neutral"
nation. She Intimated, however, that
iiiih Vonlielos now In control of tho
J Greek Government, an army numbering
EOO.OOO men Ii being recruited and out-
1 fitted to Join tho Allied armies.
She also talked nt length eit France
Bho has visited there twlto In the last
j car of which she knows much. Not
withstanding tho fact that France has
borno tho brunt of the conflict for rorty
odd months, sho Is by no means "bled
white," Mrs. Brown s.ild The delight
of tho French people on learning of the
entry of tho United .Slntes Into tho
world war also formed part of her theme.
"Franco will stand this shock." she
said, "as sho has stood tho many shocks
which havo preceded It, Including Ver
dun. The spirit of tho French
people was simply superb when I
was them last summer On our
way to Gleece. In the early part of the
year, thero was somo depression, due
Inrgely to German propaganda. And,
Kid to relate, much of this propaganda
originated In our own United States.
Because of our liberal pasport system
scores of German-Americans, Swedish
Americans and even Norwegian-Ameri
cans got Into Franco nnd carried on a
widespread propaganda. Among other
things they told the people that tho
United States would never c:mo to their
aid and that England wa simply using
Franco as a shield to protect herself,
Having faced two years or more of war
with llttlo or no nld, this propaganda
had tho effect of causing depression
nmong certain classes. But all was
changed when wo returned from Athens
In the summer. Tho Hngllsh had given
the lto to the German propagandists
nnd sent over hundreds of thousand
and America had gono In.
"Tho French people balled the entry
of America with almost childish delight.
'Wo helped tho United States once.

ELECTION OP TRUSTEE
PERPLEXES PENN MEN
Yfar Conditions May Deprive Many
Alumni of Vote for Doctor
Dixon's Successor
Difficulties have arisen In conducting
tho coming election of a successor to
the late Dr. Samuel G. DKon. whose
death causes a vacancy on the board of
trustees of tne University of Pennsyl
vania. Tho election will bo made by
the alumni of tho University.
Tho method of election agreed upon
between the general alumni society and
the board of trustees provides that a
minimum of 4000 nlumnl votes must be
cast to make tho election legal or tho
trustees will fill the vacancy them
selves. More than usual difficulty confronts
the alumni, due to tho fact that the
country Is now at war and the attention
of the alumni Is morn or less distracted
by many things. Tho absence of so
many graduates on wnr service presents
another difficulty. The statute provides
that the ballots must bo returned within
one month.
Editorially the Pennsylvania Gazette,
the weekly magazlnn of the University,
says: "Since It will be obviously Im
possible, for many alumni to receive and
nave their ballots In the hands of the
society within thnt time, some provision
ought to bo made for an extension of
time. It would be most unfortunate to
have the election fall through the Inabil
ity either to reach many of our alumni
In tho war orvlce or to receive their
ballots within tho time specified."
It's Captain Ilublcy R. Owen Now
Lieutenant Hubley II. Owen, who was
chief pollco surgeon before his enlist
ment with the base hospital unit from
tho Jefferson Hospital, has been commis
sioned a captain In the medical reserve
corps. Announcement of his promotion
was contained In an order sent from
Washington to the Second Regiment Ar
mory, where the unit now known as
Base Hospital No. 38 Is stationed.

five delegates to bo sent to Washington
to march to the Capitol In the Interests
of tho ratification of the national prohi

copal Church and forwarded to other

HOMK canncrs, get busy!
Ono billion, flvo hundred million
quarts of home-canned produce l tho
goal set for IMS. The grent canning
effort for tho year of 1317 has been
estimated by officials of tho United
States Department of Agriculture at
850,000,000 packs, and a boost of GG0,
000,000 Is scheduled.
There nro thousands of unfilled Jars
In every township of tho United States,
according to specialists who have set
tho new goal, advising early prepara
tions for the 1018 campaign.
"Fill every Jar In every home and
keep every Jar busy throughout tho
yar," Is the canners' war cry.
The utupendous size of tho goal might
make it nppear Impossiblo of attainment
were It not for tho fact that the Ameri
can family's ability to can In a national
crisis has been demonstrated.
The method of arriving at tho esti
mated country-wide pack for last year
Is Interesting, Ulght of the principal
concerns In the United States manu
facturing rubber Jar rings reported a
production for uee In homo canning of
836,761,218 rubber rings. Retailers and
Jobbers, It Is understood, carried over
from tho year 1016 a largo supply of
rubber Jar rings. Taking Into account
tho specl.il caps that were sold nnd tho
use of Jar rings a second time, tho
officials believe It H safe to estimate
tho number of packs mado In homes
last year nt 850,000,000.
Canning In most homes Is done In
nuart Jarn. It Is reasonablo to assume
that tho two-nuart packs may be used
to offset tho pint packs, specialists
say, and that therefore tho total pack
cslmated might bafely be expressed In
quarts. Placing a general average value
of twenty cents a quart upon this
product, the estimated value of her
metically sealed food canned In homes
Is $170,000,000. In most capes this food
was produced on tlio farm or In tho
backyard garden, was canned In the
family kitchen, stored In tho pantry
and Is being consumed In tho home. Tho
transportation facilities of tho country
were not taxed In tho production of this
food and In motrt cases It was pro
duced on soli that othcrwlso would have
been Idle, with labor that would have
been unable to find useful employment.
DEMETRA VAKA
America has not forgot nnd la now
coming to help us,' was tho way they
expressed their feelings.
"On tho streets of Paris there were
hundreds of maimed and crippled, but
there, was no sadness or sorrow on the
surface. To Illustrate: I went to a.
hairdresser one day and tho girl who
dressed my hair was In black. I ven
tured some sympathy, because I Innately
felt sho had lost somo ono In tho wnr.
Sho had. Poor girl, sho had lost her
father, her brotner ana her nance.
'Thank you, Madame,' sho replied, 'but
wo never speak of our loses It Is for
Franco that they died, wo cannot havo
regrets."
"I went nround everywhere. I talked
to girls In tho shops, on the streets, In
factories. In munition plants It was tho
samo superb spirit of the women. And
tho men told mc that they would go on
and on nnd on. I met no ono who said
'stop' until the Bochcs arc beaten and
driven out of Franco. Besides those
Ideals nnd this French spirit, outBldo of
tho rich region now held by Germans,
Franco Is made to produce everything
that land can produce or factories can
make to support her armies and her
women nnd children. No, France Is not
'bled white.'
