be graded and nnacadamized by the
counties. respectively, regardless OF
their possible utility.
At a time like this when the ca.
pacity of the country Is strained to
the utmost to supply necessities for
ourselves and our companions in
arms. It is believed that we should
rely on railroads and rivers as trunk
highways wherever these are already
provided, and that wagon road con-
struction should lead from farm,
forest and mine, to these existing
highways.
The talk made about paved roads
costing nothing, and IL they should
happen to cost something, that the
bexpense would be borne by automo-
bile owners, will prove a disappoint-
ment, for 1t is understood that the
highest legal authority believes the
automobile tax to be unconstitution-
al The bonding act provides also
that state money shall not be used
in any county except the four coun-
ties already bonded to the limit for
amy purpose except for the hard sur
face. The counties will have to pro-
vide grades and macadam base
which in many instances will equal
the cost of the hard surface.
Each promise by the Highway
Commission for local or branch roads
not included in the original bill will
either prove a disappointment for
those relying upon it. or else all such
additions will pile up further bonded
debt.
The provision in this preliminary

ries with IL no assurance that the
proceeds of future bond sales shall not
be expended in Multnomah county.
Then again. the very fact that this
bonding act excludes Multnomah
county may wreck the whole scheme
through the possible unconstitution-
ality OF an act discriminating against |
that county.
Exclusive of this six million bond |
ing act large provision is made for |
road construction during the next |
five years. The legislature provided |
for the sale OF a million eight hun |

used by the State Highway Commits |

In lieu of the section of the
house bill to prohibit the manu-

senate substituted. by a vote of
40 to 81, a provision prohibit

Million Women Pledged fo Food
Conservation


Washington, July T. A mil
lion American women, it was
announced today, have signed
pledges to follow the food con
servation directions of the food
administrator. All will be en-
rolled as actual members OF food
administration and from time to
time will be sent instructions on
household economics. Within
the next three weeks the admin.
lStration hopes to enroll virtual
ly every woman in the United
States.
The first list of directions
were sent out today to be pasted
in the kitchens of women who
have joined the administration.
They follow:
One wheatless meal dav.
Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barley
bread and non-wheat breakfast
foods. Order bread "a hours in
advance so your baker will not
bake beyond his needs. Cut the
loaf on the table and only as re
CURED. Use stale bread for
cooking, toast, etc. Eat less
cake and pastry.
Beef, mutton or Pork not
more than once daily. Use free.
iy vegetables and fish. AT the
meat meal serve smaller portions
and steak instead of steaks.
Make made dishes of all left
overs. Do this and there will be
meat enough for every one at a
reasonable price.
The children must have milk.
Use every drop. Use butter
milk and sour milk for cooking
and making cottage cheese.
Use less cream. Butter as usual,
but not in cooking. Other fats
are as good. Reduce use of
forced foods. Soap contains
fats. Do not waste it. Make
your own washing soap at home
out of the saved fats.
Sugar is scarcer; we use to,
day three times as much per per.
son as our allies. So there may
be enough tor all at reasonable
prices, use less candy and sweet
drinks.
Coal comes from a distance
and our railways are overburden
ed hauling war material. Help
relieve them by burning fewer
fires. Use wood when you can
get IT.
Fruits and vegetables we
have in abundance. AS ma
tlon we eat too little green
stuffS. Double their use and i'm
prove your health. Store pota-
toes and other roots properly
and thev will keep. Begin now
to can or drv surplus garden
products.
"Patronize your local pro-
duCer. Distance means money.
Buy perishable food from the
neighborhood nearest you and
thus save transportation.
buy less, serve smaller Dor
tions; preach the gospel of the
clean plate; don't eat a fourth
meal; don't limit the plain food
of growing children; watch out
for the waste; full garbage pals
in America means empty dinner
pals in America and Europe; if
the more fortunate of our people
will avoid waste and eat no
more than they need, the high
cost of living problem for the
less fortune will be solved"
