EUGENE CLUB BEGINS : BE-EDUCM WORK Local Physical Training Society Appoints Committees and Reorganizes; to Meet Regularly. Col. Leader Says There Is Need of More American Women in France. Taking up the problem of re-education of the wounded soldiers, and the treat ment of shell-shock cases, the Eugene Physical Education society held its first meeting of the year in Villard Hall, Tuesday night. The club was organized last year, Vith Ed Shockley as president, hut due to Mr, Shockley’s absence, !the first meeting was not held till last night. A membership committee, with Miss Char lotte Mallard, chairman, and a nominat ing committee, headed by Miss Hazel Rader, were appointed, and the society is planning to hold regular meetings hereafter. The society is for those ,n terested in physical education work and the meetings this year, so far as known, will deal with the re-construction work among the soldiers. Colonel Loader Explains Work. Colonel Lender answered questions in regard to the work, as he had found it, and Miss Harriett Thompson gave a talk on the reconstruction work in the convalescent hospitals both here and abroad. According to Colonel Lender, the only possible cure for shell-shock cases is found in massaging. The need for work ers in this field, he said, is very grent, and the call will soon become more J urgent. One girl whom he met was f working ten hours a day, and said she i wished she had 200 hours 'to work. The * massaging of the spine of the man who is mad, was said to have u very sooth ing effect, and resulted in the soldier falling off to sleep, while a few minutes •hefore he was alternately shrieking and laughing. In the shell-shock cases, Colonel Leader said, the patients were sent home to convalescent hospitals in country places. Here they have people who en tertain tliom, and often through sug gestion and hypnotic influence, they are brought back to their proper senses. Gardening and walks are two of the im portant means of recreation at the hos pital, although the patients are left alone n great deal, and not allowed to read any hut very light mutter. Disabled Taught Trades. Colonel Leader also explained that there were places where people who had tost limbs, or who had part of their faces carried away, or suffered like loss, might have their muscles retrained and be taught trades which would enable them to earn their way through life. There is a great shortage of wooden legs and arms, according 'to the colonel. The different kinds of gas used in modern warfare, and their effects, were discussed. The treatment, Colonel Lend er said, was much the same ns for tuberculosis, and the patients are gen erally sent to a dry climate. Walking and Swedish exercises are used in the treatment. The testing is done by walk ing. and as soon ns a man can walk 16 miles he is sent back to the trenches. Several of the girls present were par ticularly interested in the massage work, but asked why the government would not t ike those under the age of 25. Col onel Leader expressed the opinion that this would soon tie changed, and tb it the government would be begging f r nr nr 1; <> r« All Not too Many. “If all the American Kills would loam massaging there would not he too many,” ho said. He explained this statement by saying that many of the women in England were not trained or strong enough for the work, and that if Russia enters the war against us. she will hare twiee as large nn army fighting against Us as she ever had fighting for us.

WHEATLESS RECIPES GIVEN BY MISS TINGLE Oat, Barley, Rice and Potato Flour Named as Substi tutes; Crackers Advocated. Hays Kye Must lie saved Alter March 1; Urges New Pie Dough. Uses for oat flour, barley flour, rice flour, and potato flour, as substitutes for wheat, were given by Miss Lilian i Tingle, head of the household arts de partment at the University, when she spoke in Villard Hall yesterday after noon at 2 o’clock. “At last one can buy oat flour or meal in Eugene,” said Miss Tingle. “It is a particularly concentrated food, and contains rather more fat than wheat flour. It costs 8 cents a pound, but con tains more calories than wheat.” The use of the oat flour in making home-made crackers was given as one of the most important These crackers can be used on wheatless days, and are preferable to muffins, cornbread, and such substitutes, in that they do not grow tiresome, according to Miss Tin gle. Also they may be made in large batches, as 'they will keep a couple of weeks. Crackers Easily Made. The crackers are easily made and are not much trouble, the food expert says. The recipe is: For every cup of flour, use one tcaspoonful of salt and two of baking powder, and one cup of equally mixed oat and barley flour. Mix these ingredients together and add one table spoon of oil. Enough milk or water should he added to make a firm rolling paste. Everything should be in readi ness before the mixture is wet, and it should be rolled, cut in squares, and put into the oven, either on an inverted bak ing dish or cooky sheet, as quickly as possible. The oven should be slightly hotter 'than for wheat breads. These crackers inay be eaten with mush on wheatless days, as a substitute for toast, may be used in creamed dish es, with jam or in any way that bread might be used. A variation can be had i by grating cheese into 'the mixture, and thus having a cheese cracker, or by putting cheese on top and heating them in the oven, and thus having “Scotch rabbit.” According to Miss Tingle, these oat crackers are generally very popular with children, and can he used for lunch es in the place of sandwiches. By add ing a little sugar to the mixture, they limy he made into a sweet cracker. Like other crackers, they should be crisped before using. Same Dough for Pies. The same dough as used for the crack ers, can he used as pastry for pics, by adding another tablespoon of oil.

In making substitutes for wheat bread. Miss Tingle emphasized the fact that substitutes require more kneading, and that they should be put info a hotter oven so that the gases will not escape. '“The very best wheat substitute is ■eat another potato,’” said Miss Tingle, “and nice fluffy mashed potatoes can he used as foundations in a great many ways.” Among those suggested were use of them in pancakes and in vegetable sausages. Rye must be saved the same as wheat after March 1. according to Miss Tingle, and must not be used on wheatless days. The next lecture will be delivered a week from Wednesday, and will be on the problem of increasing the number of vegetable dishes.
