Add to the sauce two tablespoonfuls of fine white bread crumbs from fresh loaf, a dash of paprika, half a cup of grated or shaved cheese, salt and pepper to taste, and the well-beaten yolks of three eggs.

At nearly every level crossing a woman stands at attention by the gates as the train goes by, her flag in her hand.

At the stations she sells the tickets and helps to look after the luggage. In the big cities she is acting as tramway car conductor, but in the smaller centers the authorities have dispensed with the conductor altogether in the tramway cars and leave the public to drop their fares into a box installed on the rear platform. In Berlin women are acting as ticket inspectors and guards on the electric underground. Serve as Guards And Station Agents. The woman is a great feature of railway station life in Germany at present.

At every large station on the lines used for troop traffic there are long tables with refreshments and cigarettes and flowers and picture postcards for the men going to the front or for the wounded and sick returning. The Red Cross women in charge of these open-air buffets do everything in their power for the men. Even at lonely little frontier stations in East Prussia I have seen poor women, thinly clad, rush out in the cold rain with hot coffee, soup and bread for the soldiers. It is probably superfluous to say mat Germany's women are heart and soul with their men in the field. In the women the newspapers have their easiest dupes with their perpetual tale of victories, and their childish inventions about "French's contemptible little It is almost pathetic to hear them talk.

A charming German woman said to 'mo at a moment when, as I learned after leaving Germany, von Kluck's army must have been in full retreat over the Marne: "I know Paris well and like the French. The poor French! Why don't they give up? It would be such a pity if Paris were to be destroyed. I am so fond of Paris, and have passed such pleasant dayo there!" About England they are very-different. Their hatred of England and the English is white-hot. whose support the committee is interested, one hundred and fifty dollars was pledged, and plans made for an auction bridge party, to be held at the residence of Mrs.

Frank Melville on January 13, 1915. A tea followed the meeting. One of the new fur fabrics and a pronounced favorite is jungle cloth, a really marvelous imitation of Bengal tiger skin, so soft and furry in texture that at a little distance it would be hard to affirm that the handsomely marked fabric is not really animal pelt. These barbaric junglo cloths are being made into automobile coats for winter wear. They are a bit too pronounced in color and pattern for the promenade.

She was particularly interested in ob serving how the German woman is car rying the heavy burdens imposed by the war.

She writes: In "A Tale of Two Cities" Dickens heads one chapter "Knitting" and an other "Still Knitting." These chapter heads very aptly describe the manner in which German women today spend their spare time. The whole of femi nine Germany is at present occupied in making socks and mittens and comforters for the men at the front. Not only love and patriotism Inspire the Industry of Germany's women in this respectthis habit of knitting has now become so prevalent that it is something of a disgrace for a woman to sit Idle in tramway car or train when with her knitting needle she might be helping the heroes of the Fatherland on to victory, for the maxim that health-preserving comforts increase the efficiency of the soldier is well recognized in Germany. In Berlin you see these trlcoteuses, modern style, on every hand. Even in the stalls at the opera you will find them knitting, still knitting.

But the German Government, which has such an extremely clear idea of utilizing every scrap of human force at Its disposal, has mapped out a much more Important programme for the weaker sex in Germany than the mere manufacture of "woollies" for the troops. Wherever men can be conven iently spared women are now being employed. It is true that taxtcab drivers, vaiters and shopwalkers are still rep resented exclusively by men, but women in increasing numbers are be ing utilized as tramway car conductors, booking office clerks, accountants and cashiers, and as level crossing guards, while I understand that serious efforts have been made to get the women in the towns, many thousands of whom are out of work, to migrate to the country to help with the autumn work In the fields. Women TnkiiiR Care Of the Harvest. The powers that be are credited with tho intention of getting in next year's harvest with the help of the women.

The military now believe that the war will last through the spring, possibly through the summer, and, therefore, women and the harvest are becoming more and moro closely associated in their minds. Outside the great centers the German women are helping In the farm work. A long railway Journey affords an excellent opportunity for witnessing feminine activity. In East Prussia I have seen the women digging potatoes a few yards from where the men were digging trenches.

Crompton Tells Something About School Exercises. The new physical training syllabus for the grammar grades has benn in operation in the schools of Brooklyn since the first of the term, and has met with a general annrovai nf toneh. ers and principals, and what is even more to the point, the children like it. "Many important improvements have been made," say3 Dr. Crampton, the director of physical training.

"The number of exercises has been r-duced arefafsimm rT that are ever bcto re m''e eflecti than featu- lies in at there is an appeal to the ot hisTtLoe pupil th hSS ournosi "ido'-standing of the PU'Pose of the exercise. Hitherto he was just given the movements, and it rchoolTrif t0 do him sood what it is for and the teacher explains wny, moreover, he sees it work. To i a DOSSble, tho lesson is divided intO SeParntn mnllnna onh a purpose. (1) tor good posture; (2) to train pu- be quick, alert and accurate; bi to make them strong by hard, simple movements which really stir the blood and train heart and i lungs, which," Dr. Crampton states, is far more important than training big muscles which are not needed so much nowadays anyway.

"When a corrective exercise Is taken, the boy and girl know it's for good posture, to get head erect, back straight aim cues- nign, and he works witn the teacher to improve, for he Is marked on good posture just like arithmetic. The parents ought to know this as well, for they are really more concerned than the teacher." TO LECTURE AT PRATT. Seiimas MnoMaiius. the Irish Author, to Give Second Entertainment.

Among the speakers scheduled are to give up the task of using knowl-edgo and discipline as instruments for the elevation of mankind, or to seek for the cause of the present failure and to set to work with renewed and moro intelligent vigor upon a long and difficult task." Elsewhere, in speaking of tho establishment of tho Department of International Law, President Butler says: "If the world is to progress in harmony, in co-operation, and in peace, the leaders of opinion throughout tho world must possess the international! mind.

'J hey must not see an enemy in every neighbor, but rather a friend and a helper in a common cause. To bring this about implios a long and probably slow process of moral education. However long and however slow the process may prove to be, a beginning must be made, and Columbia has recently mado this bo-ginning definitely and earnestly, and its efforts have met with a cordial response. Can't Measure University Standards With Tape Line. In the first part of his report, treating of "The University and Its Problem," President Butler says: "Nothing is more irrational than to measure tho effectiveness of a university and the success of its work by the standards that are so easily applicable to mechanical processes, or even to a busi ness conducted for gain.

A good deal of what the business world would call incompetence may well be I tolerated by a university today for the sake of recruiting the intellectual elite of tomorrow and firmly establishing its position and its influence in our demo-! cratic life. The man with the measur-i ing rod, the tape line, and the lmper-! tlnently questionnaire is as great a nuisance about a university as a contagious disease would be." President Butler refers to the new 'policy of the trustees that for the pres-ent no new work of any kind is to be undertaken and funds are not to bo tn-i vited for carrying on any new work until the general income of tho university shall have been so Increased as to enable tho trustees to frame an an-I nual budget that will provide for malu-i tabling the work of the university with-' out a deficit. "The financial condition of the cor-I poration will not be satisfactory until annual budget can be made wlth-i o'it. an estimated deficiency in income," lie says, "and until, in addition, ade-1 filiate working capital is provided to make tmnecessary the frequent short-jtime loans that are now a matter of i necessity." Th matter of academic fees needs careful study and require revision, in order to bring them into accord wilh I existing educational conditions. Tbe amount of instruction nrovidorl anri the I cost of giving that instruction have in- I creased enormously, while, except in the cp.se of applied science, architecture SPECTACLE IN EUROPE SHOCKS DR, BUTLER Wonders Whether Influence of Higher Education Is More Than Skin Deep.

MAKES HIS ANNUAL REPORT. Columbia's President Declares Xcw Work Can I5e, Attempted Wliilo There's An Annual Deficit. "Wo have just been treated to a shocking spectacle, and one which may woli cause us to wonder whether the influence of tho higher education is even yet more than skin deep," says Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, in his annual report to the trustees. 'Some of the most noted scholars and scientists of the world have, with tho advent of the great war in Europe, apparently lost all sense of what is true, of what is honorable, and of what is becoming.

On every side we find men of this type rushing like tho bitterest and meist untutored partisans to the defence of whatever policy or course of action the governments of their several countries have chosen to adopt. Some of them have even gone so far as to insult the great universities anil learned societies in other lands than their own, which have in oarH past, and in happier days, honored them by singling out their scien- lillc and literary achievements for poci.il marks of distinction. If the scholars and scientists and the men of letters of the world arc to behave In this fashion, then what are we to cx-! pod ot tlie iiiiedtieatul and half-edu-jeated masses of tho population throughout tho world? It jmust be true, then, that the worhl-I old problem remains. It is that of shaping anil directing men's conduct. This is, alter ab, tlie end and aim ot a unveirity's existence, and the only reason can justify the labors 1a mi the sacrifices necessary to make a university possible.

The dilemma which eunfrontH us is cillier and medicine, tho foes charged for tuition have remained practically uniform for a generation. That the fee charged for tuition should be increased seems obvious. The plan of using the point of credit system in fixing the fee is being considered. Its advantage is that the student pays for precisely what he takes. Candidates for Admission to 15e Examined as to Health.

Dr. Butler recommends that steps be taken to institute a single committee on admissions, which shall take tho place of all existing committees on admissions. "There is one particular in which the examination of candidates for admission Is not sufficiently searching," says the president. "Every candidate for admission to the university should be examined as to his physical fitness to follow and to profit tiy a college or a university course. The university owes it to tho pubile and to itself to see to it that these colossal expenditures are made only upon and in the interest of those who are really fit physically as well as mentally to take advantage of the opportunities which the university has to offer, and to make appropriate return to the community in the form of personal and social service." "The time has come when Columbia College can and should offer to the senior who wishes it a well-organized group of studies that will be as effective in preparation for business as are the studies in the professional schools for the careers to which they respectively lead," says Dr.

Butler. "To accomplish this it will only bo necessary fgr the faculty of Columbia College to select and group together those courses of Instruction in economics, in business law, in finance, in accounting, and in allied subjects already established in the university, which can be so organised and arranged as to make a strong appeal to tho student who looks forward to business activity and to give him an excellent preparation for it. This is something to be undertaken in the immediate future with a view to answering effectively the objection, so often heard, that the American college, while accomplishing much In other directions, does nothing to prepare men of business for the work I whieh lies before them or to open their I eyes to the larger responsibilities and opportunities of business men."
