DEPARTMENTS. The diplomats are
dytsined in town almost en- masse
and they have established their
families at the resorts in Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland, closely ada
cent to the Capital. The Mount
Alto Inn, on the edge of Wash
ington, with a lovely view of the
entire city, is summer headquar5
tiers for a number of foreign repre-
sentatives and has large clientele
of army and navy folk also. The
residential set, which has few af-
fliations with the various branches
of government service, is the only
circle of society which has been
greatly broken into by seekers af-
ter summer recreation.
Interesting visitors still arrive
at Washington on business and
pleasure bent and more than
enough prominent hosts remain in
town to entertain them in be-
fitting manner. Mr.. Daniel Blum
enthal was the latest distinguished
guest to arrive and was entertain
ed by the French Ambassador and
Mime. Jusserand at a small but
charming dinner party at the EN-
bassy. Mr.. Blumenthal was the
former mayor of Colmar in Alsace.
The French Embassy has been the
scene Of frequent hospitality this
summer, more entertaining having
fallen to the lot Of the Ambassa-
dor and Mime. Jusserand, who are
exceptionally delightful hosts, than
has been the rule since the out
break of the European war. The
reception which they gave last
Saturday in commemoration of the
fall of the Bastile was a brilliant
event, quite out of the usual as
midsummer function, and gather

and exclusive circles OF society.

LICENSING ORDER IS DEATH
'KNELL FOOD GAMBLING

paid higher farm prices last spring
and summer, averaging from 3
to 80 cents dozen. Add to that
6 cents for cost of storing, etc.
and see what the profit would be
on dollar eggs.
And dollar eggs would have
come II the president hadn't step
ped in!
Every year hundreds Of mil
lions of eggs have been held In
storage until they were unfit for
table use, held because holding
meant higher prices for what were
released.
Their Knell.
Food gamblers never win wher
the supply is permitted to meet
the demand. They reap millions
when a portion of the product Is
held off the market, in ware
houses or dumped as waste.
1t was to prevent this more
than anything else that the presi-
dent clamped the license lid on
food handlers.
He hopes to enforce the unwrit-
ten law of supply and demand.
While this will prevent price ma
nipulation to a large extent and
will end boarding waste, It will
not make food cheaper than 1t
now is. But 1t will keep prices
from soaring higher than is iusti-
fled.
There is shortage OF food.
That means increased prices. Kill
ing off food gamblers helps much;
conserving food in kitchens and at
the table will help. To keep food
prices from rising we must save
on scraps and crumbs.
Uncle Sam now is keeping an
eye on the food gambler and food
fixer, but he can't keep an eye on
every garbage can, kitchen and
dining room table. With waste
here food control is but half con-
troll.

The presidents license order ar
fecting every big food handler In
the country rings the death knell
on food gambling done. In large
way.
1t will still be possible for the
little food gambler to make an
unholy profit by boarding up food,
but this danger is minute when
compared to what the big fellows
have done in other years and
could have done on tremendous
ly larger scale this winter.
BY compelling food handlers,
manufacturers, distributors and
warehouses, to take out govern
ment licenses the food administra-
ton is placed in absolute control
of them.
Has Fine Club.
Their books and plants must be
kept open for inspection. Their
charges, profits and methods OF
doing business are subject to
change whenever Hoover consid-
ers them unfair.
The very doors Of their ware
houses and cold storage plants
must swing open to let out food
when Hoover says SO.
II the food barons refuse to do
his bidding, they can be punished,
fined up to $1,000 or sent to pris-
on for two years or both, and
their place of business can be shut
up!
They have to be good.
The need for food control Of
the most watchful type Is greater
now and thru the winter than at
any other time.
All Stocked Up.
Large canning concerns are
stocking up with. fruits and vege-
tables bought at the lowest prices
of the year.
BY keeping . strong hand upon
the outflow the Gamers are able
to maintain high prices.
In winters past this outflow was
little affected by supply. II the
supply was too great canned goods
were held over a whole year, or
dumped.
Potatoes were contracted for as
early as last seeding time. Potato
spectators seldom buy in an open
market. They buy while the tu-
bers are yet in the ground and
when the growers price Is beaten
down by reports of bumper crops,
In northern Minnesota and
southern Manitoba, along the Ca
madam Pacific railroad, farmers
sold their potatoes under contract
at from 80 to SO cents bushel
last August-all to spud gamblers.
Egg Gamblers Plan.
These potatoes often never
reach the city market. If It pays
the gambler more to let them rot
in the fields, or in PITS OF a st0r-
age warehouse he will do that.
Egg gamblers buy the product
of the great american hen on q
million farms IN spring and sum-
mer. Usually they pay from IA to
20 cents a dozen on the farm, ans
sell to the city housewife neJ
winter at 40 to SO.
Teh cost of transportation,
breali storing is less than s
cents a dozen. Figure out the
profit.
Dollar Eggsi
This year they hoped to do bet
ter. They expected dollar-a-
dozen eggs by Christmas. To
prove this you only have to look
at the Oct egg storage chart.
ON that day 240,000,0O0 more
eggs were IN storage than at the
same time last year; export der
rnands were hundreds OF thous-
ands Of cases less for the year,
and prices were cents dozen

MAND. HIGHER PRICES!
