Problems Facing Country
Over the Food Situation
Main Topic at Park View

The food situation as it now faces
country that has always been used
to plenty, with enough to waste. was
presented to the residents of the Park
View section of the city last night by
Mrs. George Thatcher Guernsey and Mrs.
Ellis Meredith. The meeting was held
under the auspices of the Park View
Citizens Association. George H. Rus
sell presided.
There was a large number of women
in attendance and not a few men.
Mrs. Guernsey told her audience that
the country will have to feed the peo-
Pile at home. the allies and the neutrals.
There is probability of a shortage of
food, and the people should not wait
until starvation faces them in order to
make plans to meet the situation. The
country, she continued. cannot expect
bumper crops every year. and the only
thing to do is to make what is avail
able do many times what it has done
before.
Stand by and obey orders, like SOL
dfers," she said. THE orders will come
| from the food administrator. who is
to be tho commanding officer"
By making sacrifices the people will
be able to maintain the bone and sinew
Of war and thus bring about interna-
tfonal peace

Food Prices, Theme.

Higher prices prevail hero than in the
war zone, she admitted. but the ques-
ton Of lowering them should be left to
the food commissioner. If he does not
rectify them, then he must teach the
women how to use substitutes for the
high-priced foods. There are many sub
stitutes for wheat -four, she said.
Remember she concluded. that
upon the women Of America at the
present time rests great responsibility.
We must assume 1T or stand disgraced
before the world. That calamity has
never happened to u.s.
Mrs Meredith also made a plea for
the conservation of food, and urged the
women to stand firmly behind the gov

MAY EMPLOY WOMEN
TO GUARD CROSSINGS
Recent Tragedy on B. and O. Rail-
road Suggests Discussion Of
Their Capability.

Opportunity for Maryland women to
do wartime service as railroad crossing
keepers perhaps may result from the
tragedy at Berwyn Monday night,
when Mrs. Read and Mrs. vinal. two
when the automobile In which they
were riding was struck by a fast ex-
press train. Funeral services for the
two women are to be held at Hyatts-
Vile. Nd. tomorrow morning at 8
O'CLOCK. 1nterment is to be at Rich
mond, Va.
The death of the women at the rail-
road crossing has brought to the fore
again, both in Maryland and the Dis
trict' the question Of properly guarding
the crossings in the smaller towns.
Since April % there have been fifteen
deaths as the result of vehicles being
struck at crossings in five Maryland
towns.
Matter for Investigation.
Whether or not these and other cross
ings in the state are safeguarded as
well as they might be is a matter for
investigation. But several Maryland
residents, talking to a reporter for The
Star, declared that the keepers of the
gates at many Of the intersections are
not SO careful about the lowering of
gates as they should be.
1t Is declared that the keeper at tho
Berwyn crossing went of duty at g
O'CLOCK the evening the two local wom-
en- were killed. and that after that
hour the crossing Is unguarded save
for automatic bells. often difficult to
hear above the noise Of vehicles.
why not let women guard these
crossings?" asked ono man. who had
a son on the train which struck Mrs
Read and Mrs. vinal. He pointed out
that women are performing such work
in Indiana. and are doing the work
with tho thoroughness and oarefulness
which mark most work to which wom-
en- set their hands.

Speaker for Conservation
Would Save the Children

That I'VE are on the road toward the
most excessive form of socialism. but
we must save the children. no matter
whether we call it socialism or an
archy," was asserted by Miss Abby
Marlatt. one Of the speakers at the food
conservation meeting at Eastern High
School last night Miss Marlatt ex-
pressed the belief that the country is

She declared that the food situation
is such that NOT only Is 1t unpatriotic
to waste food but that 1t Is really a
crime. The people Of this country must
form a national habit of wise economy.
she said.
This whole proposition resolves 1t
self into a cooperative one" she said.
Each must help. If we talk about 1t
anc don't practice 1t we will accom-
plish nothing. We must go back to the
community spirit such as I saw in Kan
sas in the pioneer days. If we have
moro of something than we can use we
must see that 1t gets to some one who
can use it. This is not charity-it is
an exchange; it is corporation. This
Is not your affair or my affair; 1t is
our affair"
Views of Mrs. George Bass.
Not only for tho duration Of the war
but for years to come are the people
Of this country to face the feeding
problem. said Mrs. George Bass, another
speaker.
Our world problems are going to last
for a number of years and our women
must help" she said. Never again will
you be able to think in terms Of the
city, state or nation. You are now a
citizen Of the world"
Judge Milton Strasburger emphasized
the need of cooperation by all in every
way. mo one thing Is going to win this
