Waste in American Homes.

Repeating the statements made by Mr..
Hoover in recent appeals and the refer

cans. the cardinal says:
"These astonishing figures lend counte-

fullest cooperation to the officers of
our government in their laudable en-
deavors to conserve the resources of the
country remembering, that there is no
power but from God: and those that are,
are ordained Of God"
A statement from Mr.. Hoover today
acknowledges the cooperation Of the
telephone companies in the following
language:
"The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company has rendered invalua- =
BILE service to the food administration
by havingl each one of the thousands
of district managers of the company
telephone to every minister in his dis
trict last Monday asking If they in
tended to observe food-saving Sunday.
These answers have been tabulated.
The responses to this appeal have
been most gratifying. Ministers of va
ried denominations and from every part
Of the country have signiffed their in
tention of delivering a special sermon
on Food Saving Sunday, and expressed
their eagerness to help the food admin
istration in every way possible"
Editors Pledge Support.
1t also was stated that 81 900 letters
have been sent to editors of the coun-
try asking their cooperation in max
ing food-saving day effective in i'm

for individual effort toward food con-
servation. Thousands of replies pledg-
ing support have been received
"A successful solution of the prob

than winning the war" Mr.. Hoover
stated today. ut means what the con-
servation of Americas other resources
means-that that part of the earth

And that takes us back to the start

Clergy to Cooperate.

Effort to obtain cooperation from
clergymen of the country in observing
food conservation tomorrow has met
with cordial response. it was stated to-
day. Great church organizations have
co-operated in every, way. Rev. Frank
Mason North, president of the Federal
Council of Churches, has sent an urgent
appeal to ministers, in addition to that
addressed to them by Mr.. Hoover, and
Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore has
written a special food saving day mes
sage to be read in all churches tomor-
row. In his letter the Cardinal says:
THE housewives of the land are the
high and responsible agents of the gov
ernment in the furtherance of these
plans. In their willing service alone
can the government find stregth and
comfort We are sure that they will
recognize the dignity and responsible
ity of the Office with which they are
charged, and that. by their earnest ef-
forts. they will hearten the nation in
its hour of stress.
Surely the cause Is noble one. AS
such 1t should engage not only the 10y
atty, but also the enthusiastic co-opera-
tion of all who glory in the double title
of American and Christian.
Now the officials of our government
seriously warn us that unless self
restraint in the consumption of food is
to be generally exercised. this glorious
ideal must fail Of accomplishment"

Not Governed by Eight-Hour Law.

ct understand that the eight-hour law
which governs the private employers Of
to government work; at least. It does
not cover the situation complained OF
at the bureau. On the other hand. as 1
have not completed my study of the
case, do not want to rush into this
thing carelessly, and for that reason I
intend to gather some more substantial
facts which / can present to Mr.. Ralph
or to Secretary McAdoo. For instance.
l have been told that women who
would like to work only eight hours
on some given day and who know
they will not be allowed to get Off at
the end of eight hours will remain
away for one whole day and thus de-
crease the efficiency Of the bureau to
some extent for that day. II this is
true. I think that official recognition of
the fact should be taken.

and were unconscious of the fact
that it was coming up behind us
on the road leading into Riverby.
Mr.. Burroughs drives his own car,
and was at the wheel on this oc-
casion. We jumped just in time.
There were several in the car with
him, and all badly frightened. We
might have spent an afternoon and
longer in Vassar Hospital across
the river instead of with the great
Naturalist. But we escaped after
all, and that was the good part, for
it led to greetings that soon gave us
every assurance in the world of his
genial and sunny disposition.
We began our trip on the trolley,
which sped with us down the
mountain side to Highland Station,
there we boarded the train for
Vest Park. A short, pleasant walk
from there brought us to Riverby.
After greetings were over and the

this. He is just an example OF
what sweetness and tineness hu-
man nature can attain to.
When we asked him the secret
of his long life (for he informed
us he had just passed his 18th
birthday the first of ApriD, he
answered, COMMUNICATING mat
ter in what state" he said. ITO
be content is the thing" When !
asked him what he thought con-
stituted happiness, he took my
book and wrote without the aid of
glasses, Happiness is the fruit OF
a contented mind
When one sits down to write of
John Burroughs one is inspired to
write pages, but, after all, what is
there that can be said which would
convey the impression one gains
from his unique personality?
There is a charm in the man of
genius which can only be COM
municated by the aroma of SINGER
ity and genuineness that his pres
ence throws off. He does not talk
of nature; nature talks through
him, and as he has interpreted her
moods for us in his charming es-
says, so she through him speaks
that various language of her own
which the hearer absorbs but can
not repeat.
The time for our departure came.
We were 10th to say good bye to
our final host. We took few more
pictures of him as we passed
through the grounds. Then he
brought a chair from his summer
house and said, Take me sitting
in my chair" We took pictures
of his residence, studio, the old
fashioned chimney at one end of
the studio, not forgetting the old
fashioned well in his yard.
We had come to SNAP" some
thing worth WHILE" but it was
not alone the pictures we got of
John Burroughs that gave us the
rare delight we felt; it was more
than all the hearty spirit of the
man, his brave outlook upon life,
and his neighborly friendship for
us manifested in his cordial and
genial hospitality. June sang in
the branches of the trees, and it
also sang in our hearts, and when
we babe adieu to our host it was
with the feeling that something
finer and wiser than we had ever
known before had come into our
lives from our brief visit with thi'
rare man of genius who has spen'
so many golden years interpreting
to the souls of men the deep les
sons which nature has taught

AN AFTERNOON WITH
JOHN BURROUGHS
Miss Smahon Gpes Impressions of the Great Naturalist

What could be more ideal than
June day with John Burroughs
at Riverby CHS home) with the
sunshine sparkling on the Hudson,
the birds singing, the flowers watt
ing their fragrance on the sun
warmed air, and nature doing her
best to moderate the stormy spirit
of life with the peace and beauty
of her hidden loveliness?
We had gone out for an after
noon of camera hunting, determin-
ed to get some pictures worth
while,' and to meet with a nat
uralist who has made the pleasant
ways of Nature so charmingly fam.
iliar to all of us. 1t was an almost
dramatic meeting as things turned
out, for Mr.. Burroughs came upon
us suddenly in his car when we
thought the car on the state road

feeling. His step was quick, his
enthusiasm fresh and spontan-
eous; there was no sign in this
man of the waning of life. He was
full of interest in his work and
told us he had completed two more
chapters of new book on bird
life.
He then took us for a walk
around the grounds of Riverby,
and there was laughter and chatter
like that of children as he pointed
)ut place after place that had made
it's appeal to him, and as we picked
cherries from a tree in his yard,
he would show us one and say,
Nov just look here, l do wonder
if my birds have been after these
cherries" Then he would show US
fresh birds nests he had just
found that day.
He very gladly and willingly
posed for a number of pictures

had been put away, we were en-
tertained by Mr.. Burroughs in his
summer house which commands
magnificent view of the Hudson
directly opposite the Fred Wander
built residence on the east side of
the river. Mr.. Burroughs led us
out to the view commanding the
site of this residence and gave Us
an interesting history of it's in
terror decorations, etc. He was a
fine figure as he stood with us in
the June sunshine, a marked ex-
ample of the simple life, while his
snow-white hair and flowing beard
might indicate his years, yet there
was youth in the sparkle of his
eye; his straight, erect carriage
was indicative not only of youth
full appearance, but of youthful
