TELL HOUSE
NOISE" HURTS U. S.
Colonel Bringing Back Word, It
Is Said, Greater Secrecy
Would Help Diplomats.
By CARL W. AcKERMAN.

BERLIN CVia Amsterdam. Feb. l.
Colonel House Is carrying back to
Washington some mild criticism OF the
Administration. on the ground that 1t
makes its diplomatic moves with too
much noisee II was reported today.
American officials, II Is understood,
pointed out to Colonel House during
his visit here. that President Wilson
might accomplish more in his dealings
with the central powers II he moved
with greater secrecy He was told, for
instance. that Ambassador Penheld, at
Vienna, believed his work was hamper
cd because press reports of Instructions
he was to receive reached Vienna and
were published before he received the
instructions from Washington.
Consequently, all the Austrian diplo-
mats were put on guard and would not
exchange Views with Penfeld, not even
at the exclusive Jockey Club In Vienna,
where diplomats and officials meet at
bridge each night and discuss interna-
tional AFFAIRS informally.
The newspapers are devoting columns
OF space to reports OF the neutrality
debates in the United states Senate.
The arguments Of some OF the Western
Senator's, who declare that Americans
should not travel on allied ships, or at
least on those carrying munitions, are
being displayed prominently.

PINCHOTDENOUNCES
WATER POWER BILLS
Asks Aid Of President Wilson in
Killing Shields and Myers
Measures.

Attacking the Shields and the Myers
water power bills as being drawn in
the interests OF water power monopo-
lists, clifford Pinchot, president OF the
National Conservation Association, to-
day appealed to President Wilson to aid
In killing them.
lie charged in an open letter that the
bills would force the Secretary of the
Interior to turn over public land sites
including the Colorado canyon, to pfi-
vate interests: and that the leases
were so drawn that the public would
find II impossible to regain its property
at the end Of the lease-hold. so closely
had the wishes Of the private interests
ing OF the bills in many cases had oeen
supplied by them.
"The Shields BILL" said Pinchot,
gives the Use Of enormously valuable
public property to the water power
interests without compensation. Its
wording opens the way for indefinite
litigation when the public tries to get
it's property back. THE United States
might be required to pay for whole
electric lighting systems OF cities. or
the whole equipment OF manufacturing
plants TO regain possession.
"The bill interposes every possible
legal delay between the violator OF 3
Government permit and the chance OF
effective enforcement. A..
THE Ferris bill, as amended in the
Senate and reported-known as the MY
ers bill-contains indefensible changes.
It actually encourages monopoly by
compelling the Secretary Of the Inter
ior to grant to any corporation forth
with all the power sites 1t may ask for.
They could seize upon any part OF the
Grand Canyon OF the Colorado, nat
ural wonder far greater than Niagara"
Pinchot also argued that the obtaining
OF nitrates from the air is becoming a
necessity for fertilizer, and as part of
n preparedness program: and therefore.
water-power must continue in public
control

One set OF standards is being exempll-
fed here. Westfield products have at
tanned high standard. They are fully
as good as they are claimed to be. But
there are others just as good. The big
value OF this exhibition will not he
merely in teaching US to use westfeld
products, but In teaching US - thought
fully see to 1t that we get good stun,
and our full moneys worth, whenever
and wherever we buy food. This means
thinking, for some OF US, along entirely
new lines. And 1t means study.
Some Don'ts.
"of course we all know by this time
that glucose is not related to glue, but
how many of us have ever carefully
looked up the matter to learn just what
is the truth about glucose? How many
would 'have said off-hand a moment ago
that pure glucose Is more easily digest
ed than sugar, and has the same food
value?
Here Is where we need to think care
fully, to get the best food values for
our money, and as most procedure goes
better when set in simple rules, | wish
to give you the following simple rules
to help you get good stun when buy
Ing packages:
Don't buy unless the package IL
clearly labeled in the language you
understand.
Don't buy unless the net weight or
measure OF the contents Is stated.
Don't buy unless the chemical con-
tents are clearly stated.
Read that statement of contents
carefully, and think about It,
When you find words or chemical
terms used that you don't under
stand look them UP in a dictionary.
II you still don't understand, ask
any good doctor or druggist, or call
UP the District building MAIN 5000
and ask the eHalth Department or
department of markets.
When you have learned what the
package contains, and what the
propsItles of those contents are,
think about 1t. and decide for your
self whether you want that par
ticular brand in future or not.
Buy regularly the products which
your investigations prove to be
wholesome and most nutritious for
ers.
These simple rules may result in
your choosing to buy glucose instead OF
sugar. oleonlargarine instead OF hhttPT.
cottonseed oil instead Of imported olive
oil. Westfield products I1stecd Of some
other products. or Other products in
stead Of some Wtstteld products; II so,
II will be because YOU have found that
you are better of when so doing. aud
In that fact will be the proof that this
splendid exhibition has accomplished
the highest good that could be Wished
through inspiring people to tbirk for
themselves"
At the lecture and demonstration this
afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder will
show row to make tuna fah salad, oh
Yer loaf cake. Spanish bean soup. eTRs

and that it has become q question Of
whether we will have only the English
sparrow to represent our bird life or
destroy it and regain some fifty spe-
cies of useful and beautiful birds that
used to inhabit farms and countryside
all over the land.
The league intends to issue a procla-
nation declaring war on the English
sparrow and setting aside a week, pos.
sibly in April or May of next year, to
be devoted especially to waging 1t

AMERICAN SYSTEM THE BEST
Japanese Student Pays High Tribute
to Educational Ideas Of the
United States.

japanese men and women who have
received their higher education in
American schools and colleges are now
holding the most important positions,
both governmental and private, in their
native land" said Or. J.. Tahara, a
dental surgeon Of Japan, at Washing
ton. Doctor Tahara was educated in
the United States, and has returned to
this country to take postgraduate work
at the Northwestern university.
"The American system Of education
is the best in TIE world" continued
Doctor Tahara, "and the greatest am
bltion of the japanese youth after he
has passed the primary grades in the
island schools is to go to the United
States to complete his training. Be
tween fifty and one hundred students
are sent here each year by the Japa-
nese government. After they have
completed their education here they
return to Japan for service with the
government. Most OF them return as
teachers, and the training they have
received in American schools is con.
sldered invaluable to the millions Of
japanese who are unable to come t.
this country for an education.
american dentists in Japan are do
ing a thriving business. With very few
exceptions they do excellent work, anC
because of their competency they havt
