HOTEL NEW YORKER 34th Street at 8th Avenue, New York Ralph Hitz, Managing Director FAMOUS KITCHEN USED FOR JOBLESS Volunteer Capital Women Put Up 3,500 Quarts in 17 1-2 Days. BY GRETCHEN SMITH, | Down the dingy stairway leading to the second story of Harvey's old restau- rant on Pennsylvania avenue at Elev- cnth street, savoury odors, combined with sounds of laughter, are carried to the wonderment of the passer-by. The weather-worn bullding, once the haunt of gourmets and pleasure lovers, passer-by pauses before the building’s entrance, arrested by the delightful aroma and the gay volces coming from within, “Can the place be haunted?” he wonders, “Have the ghosts of long ago oyster-eaters, returned to enjoy the scenes of past culinary repasts?” If he should follow the sounds and the apetizing odors up to the floor above he would see that the dark old kitchen is haunted—not with ghosts, but with hard-working women, Stoves Again Busy. ‘The great, shabl toves, which once | prepared the dishes for Harvey's dis- criminating clientele, now glow beneath great containers and utensils filled with fruits and vegetables, the surplus of nature's bounty from the last season. At 8 o'clock in the morning, before the fires are built in the stoves, Mrs Mildred Traynham, supervisor of the food conservation wol carried on in Harvey's old kitchen, climbs the nar- row stairway to prepare for the work of the day. She is closely followed by Mrs. Bechert, who helps in assorting the foods, placing out utensils and ar- ranging the jars and containers which will be filled with well cooked, whole- some foods at the closé of the day. Scarcely have the two donned their aprons for the day when the volunteer workers who B T e S Washingtor humanitarian ing food for the Winter . arrive to take their places be- bles and stoves. Word is passed that the “surplus” for the day will be pears. Immediately | the kitchen is bustling with activity. ‘Some of the volunteers start the w of paring and slicing the contents of ‘tl\e great baskets of fruit, a large part of which nas been contributed from | nearby gardens.

In addition to the many bushels of peaches and grapes, jammed and pre- served under the direction of domestic science and home economics experts, hundreds of bushels of apples, toma- toes and string beans have been packed away for the larders of the Commu- nity Chest by the workers in Harvey's old kitchen. Relative to the first response of ‘Washington women to the need of food conservation work, Mrs. Wiley sald, “They started working during the four hottest days of Summer, carrying on ceaselessly from early morning until late afternoon. It makes one feel proud of the women of the City of Washington to think that a total of 2,295 containers of cenned fruits and vegetables were prepared in less than a week. Many Contribute, In fact the District Committee on Employment could hardly keep pace in supplying the necessary fruit, sugar has been contributed through individual generosity, many persons bringing in their own cars, fruits and vegetables from home gardens, Mrs. Wiley ex- plained that it was necessary to buy part of the food in order to keep the large group of workers busy. “Through the efforts of Mr. George Adams, the unsalaried executive secr tary of the District Committee on Em- ployment, funds have been raised through athletic contests and personal donations,” Mrs. Wiley explained. “I recently received a letter from a correspondent of a Rotterdam pape sald Mrs. Wiley, msking me to please send details of the conservation work we're doing. The canning of peaches seemed of particular interest to him, as he stated that peaches are consid- ered & luxury in the Netherlands, and :;;eh only seen on the tables of the Surfflus fruits and vegetables, as well as nunteer workers will still be wel- coméd at the Food Conservation Head- quarters, the committee chairman addce;i.
