Boarding house keepers have complained
that their motives Of economy rave been mis-
understood, and let us hope Dat the publicity
which has been given TO the ssbect during the
last week has exonerated those who have been
honest in their efforts. But also let us hore
that those who are using this food campaign as
an excuse TO give inferior food to their paying
guests" will get their just "come-uppance." In
justice to the great majority of honest women
who are earning a living by catering to the
neeoS OF tnelr Fellow QelnSs IL must DC stated
that very few Of the other sort were discovered
during the recent campaign.
NO DOUBT OF SUCCESS
There can be no doubt of the success Of the
great Food Campaign! The response from all
classes has been beyond all expectation. From
the Chinese in Mott Street (splenddly orgur.
lied, by the way, by Father Coppo, Of the Mott
Street Mission) to the negroes in Harlem. who
are among its stanchest supporters, the work
Of the United States Food Administration hes
been an unqualified success.
And if any one has the slightest doubt as to
the lasting quality Of this work, or if he thinks
for moment that the women who have signed
the Pledge Cards. and by so doing backed Mr..
Hoover in this great effort to help win the war,
are going 70 let up for one moment because the

very first house which we visited was occupied
from cellar 70 garret by Spanish families, not
one Of whom spoke or understood more than
half dozen English words.
1t happened that Spanish was the one Ian
guage which had been overlooked in the print
ing of the Food Cards. We had cards in Yid-
dish, Hungarian, Russian, French and Ger
man, but Spanish we had none So we tried
to explain our mission by gestures and pict-
ures which were received with shrugs of the
shoulders and reiteration of the statement
which seemed TO constitute their ultmatum,
"Espaha no fight"
1t was discouraging beginning and must
own that my ardor for the cause was bit
damped when we finally emerged into the
street with six cards on each of which WIS

she disheartened? Not bit.
"A bad beginning makes good ending" was
all she said as we turned into the next doorway.
This was big tenement house with three
families on each floor representing in all six
different natons--German, Russian, Italian,
Greek. Serbian and Irish. Much TO my sur
prise, they one and all greeted with open
arms. They all knew Of the great Food Drive;
they had read of it not only in our own news
papers, but in those printed in their native
language, and their welcome was most hearty.
HOUSEWIVES UNIVERSALLY
FRIENDLY
Sometimes the door would first be opened
only crack and question or two would be
asked before we were admitted; often we were
obliged to explain that We were not book
agents or insurance solicitors, nor had we come
to urge them to buy Liberty bond. But once
we had made clear the object Of our visit, there
was no further parley
The little "soder-mother" and took turns
in explaining the various points which we were
trying to bring home to them, laying particular
stress in each case on the economy which
seemed tc us most necessary for that particular
home. For instance, in an Italian family we
dwelt especially on the need for eating less
veal so that more calves can grow up and the
beef he sent to the army. Italians, as we all
know. love veal and consume great quantities
