for Change.

Declaring that the present form Of gov

superior to that in other cities the Ran
die Highlands Citizens Association last
night voted to instruct its delegates to
the Federation Of Citizens Associations to
oppose the plans as proposed by the Pet

change in the government which would
grant unrestricted suffrage to every per-

commissioners. Practically every mem
Der Of the association spoke on the sub
ject. and although some were inclined to
believe that a change would work to ad-
vantage, they did not believe that the
change as suggested would be an i'm
provement. Comparison between the
local government and that in other cities
was made which showed clearly that the
local government was superior. President

the proposal to purchase a large tract
of land near the city upon which to
place buildings to be used as tubercu-
losis hospitals. thereby removing these
institutions from the city. 1t was said

not contain every modern convenience
for the treatment of these patients
The matter will be presented for
further discussion at the next meeting.
The Tinkham bill providing for civil
service examination for District en-
ployes was Endorsed, with the change
that instead of promotions being made

are used extensively by vehicles and
persons residing on them are put to
much inconvenience from the dust
The association adjourned until the last
Monday in September unless a special

Cites Waste In Foods.

Pointing out the enormous waste of
food products in the American house
hold, Miss Helen W. Atwater, scien-
tihc assistant in the nutrition section
Of the Department of Agriculture, yes
terday afternoon told the students that
much Of it was due to ignorance rather
than indifference.
Miss Atwater declared that many
housekeepers buy the wrong things to
eat and buy in wrong quantities Then
they fail to cook the articles properly
and make them appetizing. and they do
not know how to make leftover food
appetizing for the next meal. She esti-
mated the waste to run in some house
holds as high as 80 per cent, but de-
clared that on an average it was about
10 per cent.
While the waste in one household,
she continued, might seem small. when
figured on the basis of 100, 900
population 1t is enormous. With care
and intelligence on the part of the
householder. she said further. this
waste can be materially reduced.

Costs More With Servants.

AS a result of dietary studies made
by the Department Of Agriculture. she
said. 1t had been found that large
families cost less per capita than do
families OF two. She also pointed out
that where servants are employed 1t
costs more per capita than when the
householder directs her own cooking
in a family of equal size.
DR.. Tom A. Williams talked to the
students for a short while on The
Conservation of Nervous Energy"
las ability to do ones part depends
upon ones BRAIN" he said, and the
brain depends upon the body. the first
consideration Is bodily health. The
body can grow neither healthy nor
strong without use. and this is as true
of the mind, the fruit Of the brain.
"Civilized life is full of mental
stresses and even anxieties. Only by
a strong instrument can these be with

commerce or the professions. Only
when the groundwork is laid young

thing, and to inspire that is the great
est work of women. To do this hardi-
hood of body and mind and knowledge
of the world are needed. Neither we'll

efficiency or happiness unless illumi-

SENATE ADOPTS
REPRISAL Plan
Amendment to Naval Bill
Aimed at Allies.
EFFECT IS FARREACHING

President Authorized to Hold Up Yes
sells Of Nations Which Discriminate
Against American Shippers and
Also to Deny Them Use Of Mails.
Washington, Sept 6-An amend
ment to the revenue bill, authorizing
the president during war in which
the United States Is not engaged to
withhold clearance from all vessels
which discriminate against American
shippers; to withhold privileges from
ships Of such nations as withhold
privileges accorded to other nations
from American ships. and to use the
army and navy If necessary to pre-
vent departure Of offending vessels
from United States ports, was adopt
ed by the senate.
An amendment of Senator Phelan of
California was adopted authorizing
the president by proclamation to deny
the use Of the malls, express. tele-
graph, wireless or cable facilities to
citizens Of nations which do not ac-
cord to Americans all facilities of
commerce including the unhampered
traffic In the malls"
This amendment, it was declared,
was aimed particularly at British In.
reference with American mails.
Allied Diplomats In Panic.
The amendments to the revenue bill,
striking at the allied blacklist and
British interference with American
mails, created CONSERVATION among
the diplomatic representatives of the
allies.
In allied quarters 1t was declared
the enactment Of the amendments into
law would constitute nothing less than
nonintercourse act, preliminary to
a commercial warfare, with possibili-
ties of farreaching consequences.
There are assurances that protests
will be made IL the amendments stay
In the bill.
Inasmuch as the government has
decided on course of legislation to
meet the restraints on commerce
which diplomatic correspondence has
been unable to remove it Is expected
the amendments will be put through.
The administration leaders who have
intimate connections with the govern
ment's foreign policy made no at
tempt to stay their adoption.
