Nancy Wynne Has Various Things to Tell Today Miss flary
, " Montgomery1 Superintendent of-Red
Cross Warehouse -
TMDNT you nearly turn Inside out with
excitement yesterday when the bell at
Independence Hall rang out steadily for
one-quarter of 'an hour and everybody
cheered and danced around like crazy?
Because our men are going ahead and,
fighting like the, real men they are and
have got the Germans going! Got them
running, retreating! Our men, three
hundred thousand strong, and the French
army! Why, it's Just wonderfulf Mag
nificent! Not that we did not know they would
If they once got over there In force
enough. I'll bet Germany is smiling on
the other side of her face these days,
whining and telling her men that our
men do not fight like men, our clean,
stralght-from-Uio-shoulder American boys!
P Not fighting like men because they will
ngni in tne open uko spuria ana cnuse
those low, whining creatures ahead of
their bayonets.
I tell you July IS "and 19, 1918, will
stand out in history for many a year to
come.
It won't do to boast and we must re
member that the other countries have
borne the burden for nearly four long
years and 'we are going into it fresh and
courageous and unbeaten at any time so
'far. But the very fact that the Allies
have got them on the run now means that
there will be fresh Impetus and fresh heart
in all the armies, and a possible decisive
victory and peace do not seem so far off.
Let us not forget to praise God for it all.
AND that reminds me. I heard that
'Sid Thayer, one of the five boys from
here to Join the marines in the very be
ginning of the war, has written home, and
that he told of the fight In which Bob
Reath was killed. He went over the top
three times in two days and took seven
Germans He has been commissioned a
second lieutenant. Think of it, not yet
twenty and doing such work for his coun
try! Isn't it splendid'
I HEAR that Tommy Hart, who was
transferred from tho infantry to the
aviation Just before most of Hancock sailed,
has now been sent to the Princeton aero
school. Hls wife, who was Margaret New
bold, Is spending the greater part of the
summer In Cape May with her mother,
Mrs. Harry Adams, who has a cottago
down there. Tommy nnd Margaret were
married in May at St. Mark's, you remem
ber. DID you hear the Interesting thins about
Mary Montgomery? You know she
was over in France for quite a long time
r 'tAr.k with tUa Tri rrnc Rho rnmft hank
t.-ft .. " - -
," about six or eight months ago and was
getting ready to go back.
You see, she was "over there" before we
got into the war, and so there never was
any1 question' about her. Well, what do
you think she found when she applied for
her passports to' return? Why, she could
not go. And after all the splendid work
he ,had done. Tho thing was, she ought
to have stayed over, because do you know
she has no less than four brothers In the
service of the country, so, 'of course, she
can't go back In spite of her efficiency and
knowledge of things "over there."
Perhaps she might have fussed and got
ten round it, but she told a friend of mine
that when she first went over she had
made two resolutions and she had not
Ai" tn-nVon tViom vot nnH h felt thev were
necessary to make and keep if she was
to be a real help, to her country.
The resolutions were: First, no matter
what happened she would not quarrel with
her fellow workers. Second, she would
never refuse to do anything she was
asked to do. And so when the Red Cross
said she could not go, but they wanted
her to be here in Philadelphia as dlvlbion
Warehouse Superintendent of Department
No. 2, Red Cross of Philadelphia (that's
her official title) she did not demur, but
accepted the work and gave up all Idea of
trying to go over.
' Her brothers who are in the service are
William W. Montgomery, Jr., who married
Fanny Brock, you remember: Colonel
Robert Learning Montgomery, whose wife
was Hope Tyler; Archibald Montgomery,
Jr., whose wife was Catherine Elliott, and
John L. Montgomery, who is unmarried.
JThey are the sons of Mr. William W.
'Montgomery, of Radnor, by his first wife.
' AS I HAVE at various times and fro-
Xxquently remarked, it's all In the point
of view, and when Emily had been told
she must always be brave and do brave
things she thought she might as well
pass the good news on to small brother
Guian. However, she did not say this In
public. It was all in her busy little mind.
You see it's when you trace things back
to their sources that you find out the
workings of the other person's mind.
I know a girl who often starts her re-
lijw marks by saying "inai reminas me," ana
then asks some "absotlvely" -irrelevant
question and changes the whole trend of
tr conversation, ai iirsv x uiuumit it waa
Eft Just because she felt she had to entertain
ftp and so did not listen to the conversation.
l but waited for a chance to butt in and tell
Sj 'some story she thought was clever 'or
w amusing. Well, one day some one, who
r&Cfaad evidently noticed the same thing, said:
F?, "How do you mean that reminds you? We
rr weren't talking about anything like that."
And, if you'll believe me, she explained
' how .a remark made about three sentences
' before about a certain place had opened up
R:. train nf thonrrht. and she had followed it
r .,...-. ,-. -- - -
along, noi realizing hi an umi every

V other people's minds to understand, and

HOOVER GOES TO TEACH
BRITISHERS TO EATPORK
Must Be Done if Soldiers in
Trenches Get Necessary
Supplies of Beef
WanhhiRton. July 20.
Announcement that Herbert Hoover had
arrived safely In England disclosed one
of the important purposes of the many-sided
mission which took him abroad.
Mr. Hoover Intends to educate the Britisher
to cat pork, and It is pork with a capital
"P" for the American hog this year. Due to
the period of toft corn, hogs range fifty to
seventy-five pounds overweight.
With the exception of bacon, and he likes
that lean, the Englishman will have little to
do with pork. "Bully" beef ho Insists upon,
so the American food administrator, charged
with working off America's surplus of poik,
left Washington with his aides July 8 highly
dubious of his success In putting over fat
hogs on the civilian populations of the British
Isles and France In lieu of the beef which
must go to the men In' tho trenches.
But the education Is bound to come under
Mr. Hoover's persuasive spell, according to
those who accompanied hjin, Including Joseph
I'. Cotton, head of the meat division of tho
food administration. They expect a new
American invasion of Europe in the form of
the American porker. .
After press cables today announced Mr.
Hoover's arrival the food administration
made public the names of the members of
his party. Besides Mr. Cotton he was ac.
companled by James W. Bell, head of the
milling division; George S. Jackson, vice
president of the grain corporation, and Lewis
Strauss. Mr. Hoover's secretary,
Mr, Hoover's chief purpose is,, to confer
with tho food authorities of the European
Allies In order to ascertain their requirements
nnd to determine the program necessary on
this side of the ocean In order to meet these
requirements.
Dr. Alonzo Taylor, of the food administra
tion, a Phlladelphlan, who has wide experi
ence with the food problems In Europe since
the outbreak' of the war there, preceded Mr.
Hoover by several weeks and has been
gathering" data and Information for use at
the conferences.
The first meeting of Mr. Hoover with the
European food controllers has been set for
Monday, July 22, In London.

MAN KNITS SWEATERS
ANDISPRMJDOFIT
Joseph Sontlcr, 74, Wears Apron
as He Wrestles With
the Woo'
For some time past various nnd sundry
Philadelphia men have been surreptitiously
knitting, but the tmjorlty have lacked the
moral courage to come out and say that they
like It and Intend to keep on nt It, and have
knitted, for example, twenty-one sweaters
since Marcn 21
But Joseph Snuder, 2073 Elkhart street. Is
very proud of his record, his stitches nnd
himself generally
He has knitted twenty-one sweaters since
March 21 sixteen for the Ked Cross
"Ye.s," he obseived, looking at n rich brown
sweater with nn affectionate rve, "I wns
rldln' In the car one day and I saw the
women knlttln', and it amused me. And I
said, "I leckon I could do that too.'"
So he complacently finished n line, switched
around deftly and went on, "So I did. I've
never been taught I just do it by Instinct.
Now, look at that cuff, will you? You
couldn't find nn thing better than that, could
oti?" he asked naively
"Yes, even If I do -nv It mjself, that cuff
can't be beat Yes, I've Knit sixteen sweat
eis for tho Bed Cioss. That Isn't bad for nn
old fellow of seenty-four I've knit steady
nil day long, right here In this window. You
see, I've been sick for pretty near five vears:
part of the time I shake so 1 can't get round
nt nil, nnd I reckon I'd go ciazy If it weren't
for this knitting."
He was sitting in n big nrm chair, the
sunlight pouring in through tho bay window
nnd lighting up nn Immaculately neat bed
room He looked comfortable and happy,
and, In spite of the continual trembling of his
hands, seemed hale and hearty with his ruddy
bearded cheeks and twinkling blue ejes.
A large white npron was tied around his
waist and beside him a table set forth with
wool and fresh and crippled knitting needles.
To get a vivid Idea of Mr. Soudcr's patriotic
zeal one hai only to look at the needles that
once were but are no longer twisted into the
most appealing shapes. They must have
fairly writhed under the swift fingers of this
veteran knitter.
"I begin knitting In the morning," went on
Mr. Souder, "nnd I stop nt night because I
ought to. If I had my own way I reckon I'd
Knit nil night long. Sow, I don't knit socks
an' I'm not going to, cither. No I like big
ger game ; I like somethln' to show nfter I've
been knitting. You know, I'm going to knit
an airship one of theyo days you watch out
for it. There's no telling what I won't knit,"
ho was carried away on the flood of his
fancy.
"I don't need directions I just work 'em
nut, and there's women round hero that I've
taught. I'm going to knit some more for the
lied Cross. Knit purl, knit, purl "
With a triumphant smile Mr. Kouder bit n
thread, tied a knot with marvelous deftness
and then held it up a benutlful piece of
work, knitted ns smoothly ns machine work
yet soft nnd elastic, the cuffs.nothlng short of
masterpieces it was another sweater.

WHAT A CONGRESSMAN SEl
A SrmiivccMy Letter Touching on the
ramiuar to I'hiladel phwns
By J. Hampton Moore
Washington, July 30.
TT SEEMS strange to men who come here
from Kansas and Iowa nnd Oregon when
told that tho Liberty Bell district In Phlla
delphla docs not contain a single acre of
farm land. They don't understand that
kind of congestion. And while it is truo
that not one acre of unimproved ground
remains vvlthfn the old Third Congressional
boundary lines, there arc a good many
men there whose sympathies run to agrl
cultuie. Probablj; the most conspicuous
of them Is Senator David Martin, leader
of the Nineteenth Wnrd', who long ago
yielded to the allurements of the incubator
and the silo.
Out nlong'tho Welsh road at Holmes
burg, tho Senator has somo bioad nnd
fertile acres, so well and scientifically tilled
ns to put him high up In the ranks of the
horny-handed. But like his western
bi other, the up-town leader has been keep
ing his eye on the labor situation. If bo
ultimately feels the pinch like tho west-'
crners nro reporting It, It may become
necessary to draft James C. Handly,
William Turner, of the Quarter Sessions;
John Hunting, John Leonaid and maybe
Councilman Buchholz to help get In the
crops.
The situation Is said to be acuto .In
States like Nebraska and Iowa. A few
days ngo General Crowder was appealed
to by a Nebiaska representative to permit
a young farmer to stay out of the draft
long enough to garner 160 acres of wheat
and 112 acres of corn that he had planted
to help the food situation. All his male
lelativcs wero In the service and he was
unable to find a laborer anywhere to
care for tho ciop. Tho Piovost Maishal
General said the necessities of the Allies
wero so urgent that no exceptions, oven
for tho laudable purpose of saving the
grain, could bo made.
If tho Welsh road farm is hit like that
somo husky Nineteenth Warders will have

nies for Canned Milk

dren of Boom 35, Commodore John Barry

cans of evaporated milk that will ro across
the ocean with the next shipload of necessi
ties for French war victims
One big box of milk has been assigned to
a children's hospital, the other to Malson
Claire, a series of orphanages.
Milk Is so scarce In the part of France
devastated by war that the gift of the
youngsters will be of immense value In
nourishing wasted little bodies. Cows are
few and expensive over there It has not
been long since generous Philadelphians con
tributed through the French war relief com
mittee of the Emergency Aid to the purchase
of a cow so that the soldier inmates of a
hospital might have the valuable aid of
plenty of fresh milk.
With the boxes of milk will go numerous
other supplies for children, such as are fur
nished by workers who make small frocks
and undergarments for little French persons.
