WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Patrol
wagons failed the police to-day in
Transporting arrested White House
suffrage pickets, so that open touring
cars had to be Communicated. To all
intents and purposes the pickets en-
joyed a free auto parade. Each auto
was filled with women. Each picket
clutched the pole of a banner which
waved in the breeze on the way to jail.
The women took the police by sur
prise by rushing those who were con-
victed to-day for Saturdays picketing,
but who were released without sem
tence. right back to the White House.
As a result long line of banners APP
pesred in front of the White House
grounds. Patrolmen took charge OF
each of the little groups, and when
the automobiles arrived escorted them
down to the curb. Thirty-one women
we're arrested to-day, most of whom
had been also arrested Saturday. In
addition, Mrs. William Colt and MISS
Hilda Blumberg, Of New York, and
Misses Matilda Young and Elizabeth
Smith. of Washington, were arrested.
Mrs. Wiley Appeals
Bail was furnished for the women
arrested to-day by Mrs. Sarah Moller,
OF Washington. One Of the women
who was convicted, but who did not
picket again to-day, was the wife Of
DR.. Harvey Wiley, who appealed her
case.
Forty New York women voters spent
to-day protesting to Secretary of War
Baker, Commissioner Gwynne Gardiner
and Superintendent Zinkham against
the "atrocious treatment" given Miss
Rose Winslow, Miss Alice Paul and the
other suifragists in the District Jail.
They left with one of the White
House secretaries resolutions adopted

Camouhage Pie Is
On Its Way Here
Substitute for Mincemeat
Planned by Hotel Men
at Convention

The necessity felt by some 1900 pa
triotic hotel men to conserve the ma
toms food supply is the reason for the
LARGEST convention and exposition in
the history Of the industry being held
this week at the Grand Central Palace.
The hotel men set an excellent example
Yesterday by formally opening their
convention with a meatless and wheat
less luncheon.
More than $50 business enterprises
are represented at the exposition, winch
occupies $1,000 square feet on three
floors of the Grand Central Palace.
Everything that is used 20 furnish a
hotel is on display. But the principal
purpose Of the convention is to impress
on the public the necessity for Keeping
Hoover in mind while buying, cooking
and eating.
Already the hotel men are planning a
pieless and puddingless day, how to get
100 pounds of pork from every 1000
pounds of garbage and how to camou-
fage mincemeat pies so that their pa
irons will not consider patriotism a
virtue too dearly sustained.
After the complimentary luncheon in
the Park Avenue Hotel to the members
Of the New York state and city hotel
associations and visiting hotel men
the guests marched to the Palace, es-
corted BY the list Regiment Band.
John McGlynn, president Of the state
association, was grand marshal, and
Oscar. of the Waldorf, had charge OF
a subdivision.

VI. Tierney, treasurer of the state as
ISOLATION.
1--WE can best serve our country by
opening up the avenues of thrift and
economy to the greatest number of our
citizens, in order that unnecessary
waste and destruction of food supplies
may be stopped at the source of prep
aratior." he said.
The Hoover booth, illustrating food
values and substitutes for meat, wheat
-four. sugar and fats, attracted earnest
attention. Pots Of maple and corn
syrup and jars Of honey looked more
inviting than the sugar they stood for,
and the toasted mullins would easily
cause mere white bread to be COM
pletely overlooked.
An interesting exhibit was the one
showing the amount of fat now con-
sumed by the Germans and by US. Ger
many uses five and half ounces each
week per capita; we use three pounds
and half; and the amount our bodies
require is just eleven ounces.
To-day a luncheon will be given by
George c. Boldt, of the Waldorf-As-
toria. Later a business session Of the
state association will be held in the
same hotel, at which the best ways to
conserve food will be discussed.

Say Bread Price
viii Be Cut When
Materials Cost Less

New York City bakers expressed di-
vergent opinions yesterday upon the
governments order standardizing the
bread loaf. All agreed that the price
of bread would not come down unless
materials were reduced in price.
Max Strasser, former president OF the
New York Master Bakers Association,
said he was we'll satisfied with the or
der and thought it would accomplish
much good if the food administration
could ever gain control OF food prices.
1--WE can have a pound loaf at Z or
8 cents, if we bakers don't have to pay
a premium on both -four and sugar"
said Mr.. Strasser. 1--WE cannot have
cheaper bread under the present condi-
tons.
"If baker is fortunate enough to
get carload Of -four he does not have
to pay more than Sl1.20 a barrel. But
if he runs short he may have to pay
as much as $3.50 a barrel.
1--WE are told that the price of sugar
is fixed at 9h to 10 cents. That is
bunk. The price of sugar is not fixed
at any price. East Side dealers are
charging as much as 10 cents a pound.
When the bakers run short of -four and
sugar they are gouged. You have to go
without your necessary supplies or
make your bargain in confidence. and
pay in cash"
Mr.. Strasser said that il the gov
eminent could keep prices of -four,
sugar, fat and milk down, bakers should
be able to sell at profit loaf weigh
ing from 16 TO Is ounces for 7 or 8
cents. The present price is 10 cents
for loaf of from II to II ounces.
II. NJ. Taylor, secretary of the Schults
Company, said he did not believe his
firm would be able TO lower the price
of bread. A. f. Henno, manager of the
Dillman Baking Company, of Brooklyn,
said he expected no price reduction.

ured the explanation that some OF the
supplies might have been bought By
retailers and hotels under contract for
gradual delivery. He pointed out the
report of the discovery OF S3o,OOO,OOO
worth Of food materials had not al
fected the market yesterday. IL. 1.
Lewis. secretary Of the Merchants Re-
frigerating Company, said he could not
understand the report OF Chief Flynn's
discovery at all.
Hiding Places a Secret
"Thus far the Federal authorities
have not told half the story" said Mr.
Lewis. They have not told wnere
thew found these supplies. You can
count on your fingers the pubic re
friperating warehouses in the metro
politan section of New York. All the
Warehouses have TO make semi-month-
" reports 10 the Bureau of Markets
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. stating Just exactly what
their holdings are. They also have to
report TO the Cold Storage Division OF
tho State Department of Health. In
addition. the Bureau OF Foods and
Drugs Of the City Health Department,
keeDs tab on all stored food supplies.
"The food warehouses of this vicinity
are the Merchants Refrigerating Com
many. the Manhattan Refrigerating
COMPANY. the National Cold Storage
Company, Brooklyn; the Bush Termi-
nal Company, of South BROOKLYN. the
Eastern States Refrigerating Company
and the Union Terminal Refrigeraung
Company, of Jersey City. The govern
ment authorities know exactly what IS
in these plants" ~
The executive committee of the Mer-
chants Association OF New York sent
an indignant telegram to Food Admin
istrator Hoover. stating that, as repre-
scntatives of 5000 merchants and cor
porations, they requested his coopera-
ton toward minimizing the evil efectS
of the sensational articles appearing in
the papers. apparently emanating from
Government sources and reporting the
discovery of S38 100000 of food sup
plies here. The executive committee
demanded TO know what proportion OF
each article enumerated in the dis
covered supplies is normally held in
storage here to meet the daily con-
sumption of approximately 100000
inhabitants of the city and adjacent
territory. The message to Mr.. Hoover
stated, in part:
Would Censor Newspapers
"The Merchants Association desires
to cooperate with national, state and
municipal authorities in every reason
able way to assist in minimizing waste,
securing economical distribution and
obtaining cooperation of the public and
also to prevent proiteering. The Mer-
chants Association, however. protests
vigorously against sensational articles
which are essentially misleading and
which infame the ultimate consumer
TO the detriment Of all concerned, in
Guiding themselves.
we strongly urge that the National
Food Administration arrange to secure
the cooperation Of the press through
out the country, pledging that no sem
sational articles regarding food or food
supplies will be published unless ap-
proved in advance by the National Food
Administration or its representatives in
the respective states"

SEARCH FOR VOLUNTEERS
OFTTIMES DISAPPOINTING
The cold Maid" Found It So, and
likewise Did the
Mere Man.

She was oae of these sweet-faced wom-
en- whom no one would ever think of call
ing an "oId maid''-she was just unmar-
tied. that was all. And she started out
yesterday to find valentines for six of her
s.old maid" friends-for today is St. VAL
entine's day. At least. she called them
sold maids.' Those who know the wom-
an in question would have judged her
friends from herself. and said that she
was trying TO get valentines for six un-
married friends of hers. that was all.
Valiantly she made the search in a big
store, at big counter covered with all
eorts of valentines. The clerk was help
full to degree. He showed her the whole
stock. and plowed through the stacks of
St. Valentines day greetings. But it was
no use.
"You can't find a valentine for an old
maid" smiled the woman, as she went
her wondered if she herself was not the
best sort of valentine for her six friends
All of which started a mere man GUS
toner who stood nearby to talk to the
valentine clerk
ut seems to me that valentines aren't
what they used to be- sighed the man to
the clerk. When was a young man you
had to think up your own valentines, and
make 'en, and carry 'em around yourself.
Nowadays you rush into a store, grab a
handful of sentiments that belong to
somebody else, and let Uncle Sam do the
rest. It's all wrong, it's all wrong"
