UTAH I THE AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE SEES IT THKOUOtl I Now that Mr. Herbert Hoover, food administrator, has mustered in American housewives to help him feed the world they are going to see it through. When Mr. Hoover cabled President Wilson in April last that the food supply of the world couldn't last until A^rll, 1918, without miraculous achievements in America and that unless the achievements were promptly forthcoming all the world would be hungry by next year, he specified the housewives of the United States as the persons who could be relied on to save the situation. This he did in part because ultimate food consumption is woman's problem and, in part, because the women of Europe have come up to every need since the war began. And Mr. Hoover believes with all his heart that "there is no body of women in the world so capable of rising to an emergency as American women." ^ Red tape mav tie un the country's activities, but the housewife knows nothing about red tape and cares less. For generations she has worked on the prinicple that the dinnerbell must be rung when dinner-time comes. If the United States has agreed to share meals with the allies, the American woman will not let the guests go unfed. The practical housewife has so long been the voteless victim between the upper and the nether millstones of politics and food speculation that her first reaction to the proposal to muster herself In for a COLUMBUS (JOT CALUHT. Slid Down Chimney, But Hud to Be Pulled Out. Hampton,. Aug. 24.?Last night' at 11:30 o'clock Columbus Wright, a negro about twenty-live years old, was discovered in the chimney of the Charleston and Western Carolina ' Railway depot, supposedly in an at-| tempted robbery Columbus had climbed up the semaphore post, got ' off on the roof of the depot and slid j 1 down the chimney, ^>ut upon his * landing at the bottom, greatly to his consternation, he found that the tireplace had been cemented up, and owing to the narrowness of the chimney flue, he was unable to crawl back out of his self-imposed prison. His cries attracted the attention of Mr. Walter Owens, a mgni eiecirician, wno was passing toy, and upon investigation Columbus was discovered. Chier of Police Stanley was then notified of the negro's predicament, and he secured j a hemp rope from a near-by garage and let the rope down the chimney to the imprisoned negro. After considerable expenditure of -muscle on the part of the chief and several assistants the negro was Anally hauled out, more dead than alive, and carried to jail. I Columbus had received his usual quart a month on , esterday, and noticing several more quarts in the office. had probably decided to quench his thirst regardless of the Quart-aMonth Act. He, therefore, proceeded to slip down the chimney, with the evident intention of coming out through the fireplace Into the office, and then, after securing what he waited, escaping through the ware Inoujjp cioor. ne naa not counted on the /act that recently the railway company had decided to do away with fireplaces and use stoves with piping, and had, therefore, cement"ZZZ TB ter Equal Suffrag ra JH|Hit cou Jkan.

But in so ie far as ordinary reasonable expendil tures are concerned the patriot cani not serve his country better than by :e keeping them steadfastly to the ?s scratch.

"The I ?r latest excuse suggested Is that the i- women of Maine and New York are id not to be given the vote because cerg, tain women in Washington have conducted themselves in a manner unpleasing to the general sentiment le of the times. This is the argument: i't "Since some women are engaged le in pickting some of the time, all woe men should be disfranchised for all n- time. is "Equally sound would be the ar y gument that because some men have r- burned a negro quarter in East St. it Louis, and because some men have is burned a man alive, and because it some men have instigated race riots ti- in Chester. Pa., and because some ig men of the I. W.
