SHIPPING OF POULTRY
'IS BEING INVESTIGATED
Cmp Meade, Md., April 1,
pvUAn DCTTY A big limousine rolled
- up to our Hostess House today nnd
a stylishly dressed woman, decidedly ng
Kretdhe and nctUe, stepped Into the
building. A wistful girl who was on tho
porch, making her Knitting needles go
at a. rapid rate, did not xo to cease
work on a sweater to Inquire of a news
paper man the Identity of tho lsltor.
"That woman," answered the tvcrlbe,
"Is Mrs 'Wadsworth, wlfo of United
States Senator Wadsworth She Is an
actUe war worker and In n few minutes
you will see htr behind the lunch coun
ter." A tiny service flag was pinned to the
lapel of the joung girl with the wist
ful eyes and deft fingers Then, Just
like all women whether they are wistful
or not, she kissed the emblem
"Ho that Is Senator Wadsworth's
wife," said she "Well women are do
ing a noble work In this war hut doing
no more than they ought to t am trying
to do tho best I can, knitting for the
soldiers selling thrift stamp and I'm
going to enter the Liberty Loan cam
paign canvass."
Presently a woman ellghtl older than
Mrs Wndswortli entered tho building
She was known to tho knitter It was
Mrs Harrington, vlfc of Mar. land's
Goernor, and she too, servo behind
the lunch counter
I could give ou more ot tho lounc
woman's conversation, but one sentence
Is sufficient to Illustrate ltn Import She
saa that "War, the Leveler." Is quite
hus in the Camp Meade home of tho
Y "VY C A And, believe me. that as
sertion Eummarizes the activities of
tlm organization perfectly
Thcro Is but one caue that piompts
such women as Mis Wadsworth and
Mts Harrington to don white nprons
and serve food at the Hosten House.
That cause Is PATRIOTISM, which I
have spelled In big capital letters
If 11 10 body thinks that bervice in the
Hostess House Is a sinecure they ought
to try It a few dajs, and particularly on
rush days Then they would appre
ciate that bcivlng I'onsomme, fish cakes,
lettuce salad, chocolate pudding and tie
cream to hungry civilian attaches of the
camp and soldiers, who arc a trifle more
hungry Is real work.
When Mrs Wadsworth tool, her place
behind the pile of hot fish cakes I ven
tured to ak her how she liked the work.
"I'lnc, ' she replied "I rcallj enjoy
every minute of the time It gives me a
bit ot rcaL work to do and brings me In
cloe contact with tho war machine
Somebody lias to do this kind of work,
and I enlisted"
Incidentally, by serving In this capa
city the Senator's wife saves to tho
organization the salary of some woman
who would have lo be cmploved If she
failed to take up the work I'urlhcr
moro, tho women who would be paid
for BUch work are released for work that
pays them high wages In tho munition
factories in Baltimore. So. after nil,
AITS. WnriHUArflt 1111,1 MP. Tt.inlt.lnn
and the scoro ot other roclety women
are making a substantial contribution
toward tho war.

six weeks ago, he has gain d five pound

wanted to interview him, bui Allen f

"I bhall let General Pershing discuss

pressed him for an interview But I
can tell ou, though and without vio

We made our tests with 500 Kelly Cords. If there was a '
NSociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Tires, it would have
interfered. We subjected those tires to the most inhuman
treatment we could think of. We drove them over heavy, icy,
rutty, winter roads, day and night, on cars weighted up to 5200
pounds, until we" wore them out. We then averaged up the
odometers and got over 12,000. miles for the 500 tires. You are
not buying a new untried tire when you buy Kelly Cords. You
are getting a seasoned veteran. They add new luster to the
name "Kelly-Springfield."
