The Woman's Exchange STAKT THIS STOKY TODAV RUTH lay awake a long time plan ning what she would do. At first she had wanted to flame back at Scott, to tell him what bIip thought nbout his harlng liked Dot Salisbury, to tell him what her opinion was of Dot. She wanted to do what every other woman would hare, liked to do. exnoie Dot's ar tifices, show her un for what she renlly was. Only Ruth's pride prevented her from doing this, that and the tact tunc Scott would doubtless misunderstand her, would probably think her motive was purely jealous.; The cool wind from the water blew In the window ruffling the curtain. Ruth thought bitterly of how she had planned for this going away with Scott. Of how she had thought that being nway in a new environment would draw them more closely togeth er. Of course, n great deal of Ruth's attitude was due to a reaction from the unpleasantness of the evening, nut Scott's failure to understand, his per verscness at not viewing matters from Ruth's standpoint, were very real causes for unhappines.s on her part. An hour passed, two, with Scott's regular breathing testifying to the fact that he was sleeping peacefully, sound ing rhythmically there in the dark ness. Finally a plan began to shape itself in Ruth's mind, a plan that would take careful scheming on her part not to let Scott see that It was n plan and sprang from a certain mo tive. When she finally drew the sheet up to her chin and resolutely closed her eyes, she felt better about every thing. Her method of going at things would be different beginning with the next morning. When she woke Scott was lying watching her eyelids flutter open, his eyes were eager, th day wai fine. He plainly did not want a misunderstand ing to spoil his enjovmeut of every thing. He was waiting to see how Ruth felt, and if she still had nnv queer notions left oer from the night before. Ruth remembered, with a sickening sense of not having settled matters with Scott before she had fallen asleep, then she remembered her plan and was com forted She sprang out of bd Tilth a gay good morning. Her little nir of aloof ness baffled him, she mads no refer ence at nil to the night before, neither did she make any effort to engage him in conversation, although she respond cd to everything that lie said to her. At breakfast they were seated a they had been the night befoie, Ruth between Miss Iovett and the oung lieutenant. Ruth noticed that in the clear morning light Miss Lovett looked younger than ever, and Beatrice was positively radiant. This time, how ever, Ruth did not sit silent waiting to be addressed She talked brightly, constantly, including Lieutenant. Kver ett in an intimate fashion in every thing that she soid. When they rose from the table Lieutenant Lveictt fol lowed her out on the porch and thev sat together in the swing. Grace Lovett did not follow them, but Ruth, with a sense of triumph, noticed that a look of mild surprise followed by sheer annoyance had gathered in her eyes. It had rather been taken tor granted sinco the night before thr George Everett had succumbed to the youthful charms of Beatrice's young guest. Ruth brought forth every attraction she had to keep him interested and n ws not hv the means that these girls used either. She managed to iniect a small amount of sophistication into her manner toward him, and yet she did not patronize him. It was a clever little effort to draw him up besido her, to make him wish to pleabe her. She managed to comcy to him the fact that he interested her, and there was born in him a desire to go ou in teresting her; it flattered him; it ca joled him. It was the manner that a fascinating woman always takes toward a boy when she wants him to like her, and yet it was not a promise that bhe might return that liking in kind. He looked at his watch finally and flushed. Before he could speak Ruth had forestalled him with a laughing: "Tou're late for an engagement?" "How did you know??" lookin'g up guiltily. " "It wasn't very difficult." "I've promised to take Miss Lovett , over to camp." He hesitated for a moment, then burst out: "Won't you come, too?" Ruth laughed. "You know Miss Lovett would not like that. But don't mind me; goTight along." And she laughed again. He got up slowly, reluctantly, and she rejoiced inwardly at her buccess with him. "Xou know I'd rather stay with you, don't you?" he asked impulsively, reddening to the roots of his hair. Ruth was youthful enough to be genuinely embarrassed at this remark and she flushed scarlet herself, but slje managed another laugh into which she Injected the cadence of not knowing whether to believe he was flattering her or not.

TODAY IS LAMMAS DAY Feast of Grain Harvest Originated by Pagans This is the feast of the grain harvest, known i Lammas Day. August 1 was one of the four great pagan festivals of Britain According to authorities, it probably celebrated the realization of the first fruits of the earth, and more particularly that of the wheat hardest. When Christianity was introduced, the day continued to be observed as a festival on these grounds. A loaf was the usual offering at church, and the service, and consequently the day, came to he called "Half mass." This shor tened to Lammas. There is another theory ns to why the day was named. This points to the custom of bringing a lamb on this day, as an offering to the cathedral church Of York Two methods of protective action for tenants, namely the ue of the vacant ground of the city as n camping site for those tenants whn have been ousted from their homes and the withdrawal of funds from the building associations which are suspected of aiding in house speculation, nre being worked out In the 1'nited Tenants' IVotccthc Assn elation.

What is life, after all, but the absorption and dissemina tion of energy? Now,tmost of our energy comes from sun light and combines with physical elements to form plant and animal life. Uj WE, thirsting for energyrcon sume it in the form of foods.1 It is present in all products of the vegetable kingdom, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and herbs, in varying degrees. But always it is united with a great deal of cellulose which is indigestible waste mat ter that provides mere bulk. Cattle eat vegetable foods, sort out the energy-giving qualities with their four stomachs, and cast aside the rest. Their bodies are concentrated energy. When we eat beef, we get a tremendous amount of energy in small compass. There is very little waste our systems absorb practically every bit of beef that P4AT is why working men rely principally upon meats for their food. Were they to repair their waste of energy by eating vegetables, the bulk would tax the capacity of their stomachs. f Beef is, then, one of the most nour ishing foods we can eat. It is al most concentrated, energy-giving sunshine. With the price of beef lowered, it is also today one of the most economi cal foods that you can buy. And what so whets our appetites as the mere mention of a juicy, tender steak, a well-seasoned beef stew or soup, or the delicious goodness of a browned pot roast? -A jtk. we eat.

While the property has been properly maintained, it is not the same property which the Government took over on August 1, 1918. It is not as adequate for its job or as well manned as it was; that it is not, is in no way the fault of Federal Control, which was eminently fair. It is due to causes for which neither the Government nor the companies are to blame. A year ago today we were at war. Labor and materials needed for both telephone operation and construction were turned to military uses. Some materials were so vital to the carrying on of the war that even the work of providing telephone facilities for the Government was retarded and no part of them could be spared for commercial telephone purposes. No less vital were the Government needs for those skilled to create, maintain and operate the vast intercommunication systems necessary in modem warfare and in the conduct of the vastly increased Government services. Thousands of telephone men were already at the battle front; thousands more were under arms, and skilled telephone experts and sailed, operators went into the service of the Government and contributory industries by the tens of thousands. The reserves of plant arid equipment were drawn upon until they were entirely used up, and the experienced staff -was greatly depleted. To find others to take the place of those who had gone was difficult, to train' them takes time. : During the year came victory and the armistice; and install y the busi ness world sprang into intense activity. The demands ? telephone service passed all former records. To replace the exhausted reserves which had been carried for just such purposes and to replace the skilled forces to meet this unprecedented emergency, there began a rush for construction, for readjustment, for high pressure repairs, for feverish extensions. All these must be con tinued with increasing effort. The return of the property comes in the very midst of this race between an overpowering demand and an upbuilding of a system whose growth was held back and whose forces were scattered by the vital needs of war. Much progress has been made in the upbuilding of this system, but far more is still required to meet the swift growth of business; and also to give "first aid" to every other business and every other service struggling against an unprecedented demand. The prosperity which creates this emergency in service creates also a scarcity of those desiring employment in the service. Under such conditions, telephone service generally has not been, and could not be, up to the pre-war standard. It is beyond human power to immediately overcome the handicap which the situation imposes. There are no people in any public or private endeavor who are working more tirelessly or strenuously for the common good than those of the telephone companies. Service has always been given. More of it must be given and it must be improved. That improvement in some cases will take months. Eventually service must win the race with demand.
