nit Il was raining II there was no
one within earshot." This comment
evidently was evoked from the eff
forts of newspaper men to inter-
view Colonel House concerning his
mission while he was in London.
Chesterfield House, that beautiful
old home In the Mayfair district OF
London. was the scene of many in
teresting meetings during the visit
OF the American mission here. Col
onel House and Mrs. House, who ac-
companied him from the United

were held there between American
and British admirals, generals and
financiers. Lady Burton let Chester

DO YOUR BEST" FOR
SLOGAN: NOT Bit

San Francisco. Dec. l1.-That the
British war slogan "do your bit" is
inadequate and inappropriate for
this country and the growing con-
victlon of those connected here with
the federal food administration for
California.
In England to do ones bit" inn
plies the carrying through of an I'M
dertaking to its accomplishment. In
the United States. and on the Pa
cifc coast in particular. the general
conception OF bit Is a relatively
small thing. II is term applied to
12h cents.
"a bit conveys the idea of a
small piece of morsel and prob
ably has wrong psychological eff
feet on the people," said Ralph p.
Merritt, federal food administrator
for California. ''The millionaire
who buys a few thousand dollars
worth OF Liberty bonds has done his
bit but certainly he has failed by a
long margin Of doing his best.
IF this. the worlds greatest cri-
sis, does not call for the best efforts
of the American people then GER
tainly there never will come time
when 1t can be demanded Of them.
To do ones bit may mean anything
or relatively nothing. 1t gives the
people no measure of what is ex-
pected OF them. The nation is call
ing for the best efforts of its citi-
zens. Every man or woman IL hon.
est with themselves, knows whether
or not they are doing their best
1T would be we'll for the Ameri-
