from the commissary at Fort Myer
for only Ss.55.
But in pickles, beans. beef, fruits,
candy. prunes. cereals, and many
other of the foodstuffs which go to
make up their daily rations there Is
only a negligible difference in the
price. taking into consideration the
quantities which Uncle Sam pur-
chases.
Some Trenehermen.
Here are a few quantities OF food
consumed by the $500 young officers
In one small breakfast:
SEQ pounds OF sausage.
I6s packages Of cereals
IS gallons OF cream.
"a bushels of potatoes.
Il crates of oranges.
But back to a more interesting
phase-the eating phase.
At the first fiickering signs Of dawn
over the blue hills which surround
the camp, while the clear notes OF
reveille are still echoing in their ears,
the young student officers pile out
eager to get to the following:
BREAKFAST.
Pork Sausage and Gravy.
Lyonaise Potatoes.
Puffed Wheat Oranges.
Rolls and Butter.
Coffee. Milk.
And at the end of their perfect
days they come to:
SUPPER
Spanish Beef.
Baked Potatoes.
Sliced Cucumbers.
Sliced Pineapples.
Rolls and Butter.
Milk. Chocolate.
No wonder that, IL there is one
man at Fort Myer which the student
officers will swear by. other than
the officer in charge, it is their CHEF.

GIVE JUVENILE REVIEW
Songs and Dances Presented by Mrs.
HoIt's School.

More than 100 small girls and boys,
attractively costumed,s entertained
with clever songs and dances in IAN
Arbor in Hawaii" presented by the
pupils OF Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Les
ley Holt before a large audience at

The children ranged in age from
fifteen years down to little tots. The
Juvenile review was in three acts.
Some OF the features in the dancing
were the clock dance, the Western
dance, the sitting-down dance, and
many clever toe and eccentric num-

when II is reported out to the Senate II
will be without Recommendations from
the committee.
Most Of the Republican members Of
the ommittee-Senators Kenyon, Brady.
Norris. and otherS-are behind the meas
ure. and one Of these probably will be
called upon to engineer the measure
through the upper branch.
The committee will not consider the
measure until the House has acted on
1t late this week or early next week.
When 1t comes out there will be strong
objection. particularly from the Demo-
Gratis. to giving Herbert Hoover such
powers Of distributing and conserving
food as the bill provides.
Ready With Their Knives.
Charges that the measure Is "despotic."
"autocratic." ''despicable." and Of other
objectionable qualities have been hurled
from the majority side. Senators Hoke
Smith. Reed. Kirby. and others are pre-
pairing to knife 1t at its nrst appearance
on the floor.
AS result Republicans are being
counted on to swing their forces be-
hind the measure as a strict and urg-
emit war emergency proposition and
1t appears the bill will pass the SEN
ate largely through the work Of these
forces.
Uncle Joe Blocks Action.
Uncle Joe Cannon objected today
-haRa ThaNrnaa. - -
culture Committee, tried to get unani-
nous consent to disagree to Senate
amendments on the food survey bill
and send the measure Immediately to
conference.
Lever pointed out that the bill is
badly needed in order to determine
the amount OF foodstuffs in the coun-
try. Cannon insisted that the amend
ments should be printed so that men,
bers could see them.
Methods TO expedite action on the
food control measure will be consider
dent Is anxious that Congress should |
pass the bill by next week.
Protests Against High Prices.
Demonstrations against high food |
prices are being made all over the .
country and the protest made by Sam
uel Gompers, president OF the A. F. /
OF l.. and other labor leaders and !
Congressman yesterday was but one
phase OF the agitation for food control |
One report said that five times as
much produce Is in cold storage as
was at the same time last year. The. |
price OF poultry remains high.
Other evidences that spectators are |
continuing to make plans for further |
exploiting the public are at hand.
The food control law will foil such
plans and every day of delay Ii max
ing the situation more complicated.
People who feel the pinch OF high
prices write that they cannot be high
ly patriotic to a Government they
claim r. permitting them to be robbed
by food spectators.
May Go Before Congress.
The President Is determined that
there shall be no further unnecessary
delay. During the past week he con-
ferred with Congressional leaders.
members OF the Senate Agriculture
Committee. and Herbert Hoover to ex-
pedite action.
It IL considered possible that the
President may go before Congress
personally and urge that petty, dicker-
ing be eliminated.
A definite program to eliminate OBJ
stacles in the path OF the drastic
food control bill was to be worked out
at today's Cabinet meeting.

That's what punctuates the military
routine OF the embryo officers, in
fusing a new zest for the multi
tudinous details OF their eventful new
life.

students casually after q converse

Roast chicken, creamed asparagus

and Ice cream" will come back. It's
food fusillsde quite stagkeringly
different from the proverbiaI hard
tack and water" which is said to be
the ration OF those who cast their lot
in the army.
Such a menu. too. Is not an unusual
one. On the contrary, one which IL
many times surpassed by the. four
teen chefs who cook for the student
officers.

And what's more, II is costing Uncle

Of the food is concerned, the amount

of the officers daily mess allotment
is used to pay those who prepare and
serve 1T
BY dividing the Sc cents into three
parts Il is found that each meal costs
the Government is % cents for each
man.
Immediately comes TO the mind of
Mr.. Average citizen visions OF a 1s-
cent meal as experience has taught
him to see 1t:
For breakfast, there is q little hope.
He might, by figuring closely, get
one egg, a crust OF bread and some
oleomargarine.
For lunch he might bargain with
his grocer for enough potatoes to
make him a bit OF salad.
But II he tried to duplicate the
above described dinner. which hap
pens to be q Sunday dinner. the chances
are he wouldn't get much farther
than the purchasing of the necessary
toothpicks

How is II then that good old Uncle
Sam can bowl the high cost OF living
over 30 SUCCESSFULLY
Well, as a matter Of fact, he can.
and he can't.
Some of the staples which 90 to
make UP the meals prepared for the
student officers are purchased much
below the market price This Is due
mostly to the enormous quantities in
which they buy. II is also imagined
that a patriotic penny or two is taken
off here and there. as a tribute to
the Government which necessarily
must buy the choicest lubricants for
the young soldiers who represent so
