quick relief." (Statment giveu

At this time of the year farm
era should try to find customers
to whom dressed chickens and
turkeys can be shipped by parcel
post Many farmers have estab
lished a business in marketing
various products direct by par
cel post or express, by obtaining
customers for poultry to be ship
ped at Thanksgiving time and so
' pleasing the .customers with the
poultry furnished that they pro
ceeded to obtain other products
of the farm direct from the pro
ducer. Corrugated paper-board car
' tons or cheap market baskets
are suitable containers for ship
ping dressed poultry. The fowls
should be wrapped in parchment
paper then in plenty of wrapping
paper or newspaper, after which
the whole package is placed in
the carton or basket The ship
ment should be thoroughly chill
ed before being shipped, and the
parcel should be marked "Perish
able." ' (
Farmers Bhould bear in mind
that only good fowls dressed and
packed carefully will be satisfac
tory to customers. Success in
selling direct to consumer often
depends on whether the custom
er is pleased with the first ship
ment of produce.

these employes been considered.
Practically every industry con
nected with the furnishing of
war supplies employs large num
bers of girls. Thousands of girls
are filling in the ranks left va
cant by the men. For these, as
well as for the girls employed
near the camps, the Council has
begun to erect houses as an em
ergency measure and as a dem
onstration to the employer and
to the otherwise unprepared com
munity that girls who are em
ployed may be cared for simply
and efficiently, to the welfare of
the employed, the employer and
the community.
For the task of housing and
feeding hundreds of wamen sud
denly summoned to work in
great industrial cities that have
sprung up over night association
has appropriated half a million
dollars. When the Government
suddenly calls for a score or more
of women to go to work at once
in a laundry, on uniforms, in a
munition factory, it is not always
possible to supply them at once
with a place to eat and ' sleep.
But since eat and sleep they must
immediately the War Work
Council is plunging into the bus
iness of supplying them with
suitable living quarters and with
fpod. This has been a tremen
dous . problem in England. It
promises soon to be equally gi
gantic here.
Then there is the assistance
which the Council stands ready
to give to foreign women whose
husbands and sons have gone to
war. Many of these women have
lived in America in practical iso
lation from the American world,
depending upon their men folk
as intermediary between them
and the strange new country
that has remained new, of whose
customs they are ignorant and
whose language they have never
learned, In this field the Y. W.
C. A. has decided to use $100,000.
SOCIAL STANDARDS. '
Through a Bureau of Social
Morality, qualified women physi
cians . are enlisted to promote
throughout the country the high
est moral standards, and the pro
motion of true patriotism. Lec
tures to mothers, , teachers and
girls are made accessible; to the
latter after they have been drawn
together through some club or
other bond of worth-while inter
est. COLORED COMMUNITIES.
A great unmber of the Camps
and cantonments are situated in
that part of the United States
where the colored population it
densest, and special need for the
care of our colored young women
presents itself. Five colored
workers of the national staff are
giving their time to directing
work among their own people
and securing the leaders essen
tial to promoting practically the
same activities among colored
girls as are under way among
white girls.
EUROPEAN WOMEN.
Even before the War Work
Council was appointed, calls had
been received from trusted social
workers in Russia and France,
for American Y. W. C. A. work
ers to asiht the women of those
countries in facing their difficult
future of reconstruction for
women
Seven women have been as
signed to Russia to work with
the committee of Russian women.
Twelve women have been sent
to France, part of , whom have
been called for to assist a com
mittee of French women in equip
ping and directing foyer can
teens for industrial women whose
hours of labor are long and on
whom the stress of war bears so
heavily. Help to provide rest
rooms, recreation and proper food
conditions are among the services
which suffering France is asking
of the American Y. W. C. A.
The remainder of our workers
now in France are asked to take
charge of social huts for the
splendid American nurses ow
"Somewhere in France." These
huts are being constructed at
the hospital base units and will
do for the women when off duty
as far as may be under war con
ditions what our Club for Nurses
does in N. Y. City. Our econ
omic specialist of the national
RtafE has been loaned to service in
France for a few months to di
rect building operations.

men who enlist' come into our
communities and add to the re
sponsibility of the Association in
the United States. Everywhere
the Y. W. C. A. seeks to
strengthen the regular activities
which alone have made its war
work possible and which must
be the force that makes for per
manence, i
It is a program that includes
the sister of every man, the
daughter of the American as
well as of the foreignborn;it is
planned for women of all racep
and creeds. It aims to help the
soldier through its Bervice to girls
and women. It seeks to create
the highest standards at patrio
tism and the maximum Christ
like service even in times of war,

. For Seiwice?
Women of Pennsylvania, have you
teen It? the Bhadow . that dims tbe
Bun. ,
Listen? The air seems vibrant as
if stirred by distant thunder. '
A tempest Is upon us a storm
worse than any America has known,
and Its danger signals are far-flung.
The storm has crept In from Trans
atlantic shores. The air, too, was
surcharged there made vlbrsnt by
the gun-peals of human hate. Take
heed! There is a warning for you in
these far-flung signals. If you have
not read It, read now.
War Aierclleti war has been un
leashed to wreak Its fury upon you
and yours.
The extent to which that fury will
ravage America depends very largely
upon tbe part the women of America
decide to take In the war.
If you and every other woman capa
ble of giving some useful service will
prompfty give that service so that
America may strike with crushing ef-.
will bring need not be aill upon this
side of the Atlantic.
Therefore, It remains for yon the
women of Pennsylvania and of the na
tionto make a momentous decision.
Will you stand back now, supinely
claiming exemption from unusual ef
fort upon the plea of sex?
Or will you come forward to work
In some useful capacity that will give
the fighting men of your country the
support they need to win the war? -
That is what Is being asked of you
and of every other womnn of working
age in Pennsylvania. Your decision
will mean much to your state and to
your country. It may mean even more
to you.
Remember: The worst trials that
defeat brings to a conquered people
invariably are the horrors experienced
by its women. Keep Rtricken Belgium
and outraged France before you then
decide that you will do your utmost
to make defeat impossible for Ameri
ca. Every Woman Needed.
If you have any doubt about the
help of every woman being needed now
consider these facts:
. One million men In Pennsylvania
alone have been holding themselves
subject to a call to the colors since
Registration day, June 5, last One
hundred thousand recruits the pick
of the state's manhood have already
been taken from productive employ
ment for army and navy service. Ad
ditional thousands are being drafted
with machine-like precision. Still
more thousands have been drafted
from ordinary Into war employments.
Every man called leaves another
gap In the army of production. Every
man drawn means, also, that four
new workers mtiRt be found to produce
the things that will give him fighting
efficiency.
With industry losing Its workmen
and, on the other hand, being required
to produce a greater output than ever
it is apparent that new labor sources
must be tapped or disaster' may result
You women who have neve? been
required to earn your living and
there are some hundreds of thousands
of you constitute the most import!
ant undeveloped labor reserve In
Pennsylvania. If you will from patri
otic Inspiration accept some usoful
work, even though you do not need
to earn money, you will help amaz
ingly to solve a labor crl's wMch,
with the country at war,' ranks as a
positive menace.
, How to Find Work.
' To assist you In finding the Job you
are wiljing to All as a patriot! duty
to train you tor the Job if nercasary
a registration of women Is new be
ing conducted under State and Fed
eral supervision. Tbe Pennsylvania
Women's Committee of the Council of
National Defense and the Civilian
Service Department of the Pennsyl
vania Committee of Public Safety
have it in charge.
It is a registration that is determ
Inlne the comnle'e "woman-river" of
feet, then the dread of what the warlth(1 tate u )s ghowlng w'th exact-
,1, -! 1 . 1 ...1 . 1. 1 - .
ness the total number of women,
trained and untralnod, of working
a-?e and It Is classifying thm accord
ing to-their capacity for work. The
purpose Is to inform the government
the United States Denartrrnt of
Labor of how far it may.rely upon
women's energy as a productive re
source,
Even the women who are unable to
take regular positions, but who can
accept work at home are being listed
The plan hns the support of President
Wilson and Is commended by Govern
or Brumbaugh, who, by official procla.
matlon, fixed November 1 and 2 as
special registration days. ,
In conducting the registration, no
interference with existing labor situ
ations or with useful Industries is per
mitted. While workers as well as
non-workers are being listed, trained
workers are not being solicited to
change employers or employment. In
fact, established Industries will be
assisted. Part of the plan Is to place
new workers at Jobs In their home
sections and thus encourage and
speed up useful, established produc
tlon.
Slgnlng-Up It Easy."
.Registration, too, has been made
easy. Every organized group of wo
men In the State is tnk'ng names.
County Committees of Public Safety,
Federated Clubs, Suffrage Assocla
tlona and Women's Christian Temper
ance Unions anywhere will sign you
up.
And now that you have learned of
the dire need of women's service In
this world crisis, it Is for you 1
women of the state to make your
registration a roll of honor for Pennsylvania.
With the future of all civilization,
with human liberty Itself In Imminent
Deril the call from the "Front" Is for
"workers, more workers, and still
more workers.'
Work will win the war.
Let the women of Pennsylvania by
their actions say. "WE WILL NOT
SHIRK."
CITIZEN APPLIED THE LAW
In Hit Own Car Philadelphlan Pursued
a Reckless Motorist and Had the
Man Arrested.
Docs a day ever pass that you do
not. hear someone say, "We ought, to
have a law to stop that sort of
thrng?"
We, scream for more laws, but
when it comes to punishing those
who fracture the laws we one
and all join in the chorus, "Let
George do it!"
And the trouble is, George is quite
ts careless as we. You see men ex
pectorate upon the sidewalk scores
Df times every day, but do you report
them? Never.
You see drivers threaten the lives
of pedestrians with their reckless
motoring, but do you take the trouble
to have one arrested? Of course you
don't.
And just because 999 of us are so
perverse and lax in this particular, I
lift my hat to Dr. A. C. Morgan. I
do not personally know the doctor,
but I do know that he saw a man
drive in reckless fashion past a school
building from which scores of chil
dren were issuing. '
No, he didn't say, "Let George do
it," but he did it himself. What?
Why, followed the fellow in his own
car and had him arrested and fined.

The use of the word "meticulous" la
the sense of "particular," may be un
derstood by the following definitions,
which we auote la answer to a re
quest for the citation of authorities:
Century Dictionary, "timid ; over-careful
:" New Standard, "over-cautious :"
Oxford Concise, "over-scrupulous about
minute details." The word is from
the Latin "metlculosus' "full of fear,"
the derivation being from 'mctus,"
