an efficient. Woodworking, clear-headed
manipulation of food conservation, without
hysteria and with much empiric back
ground. 1t Is laudable to see how soon his
influence on the popular mind has been
manifest. Housewives have responded
without whimpering to his gentle demands,
and the tired business man often nowadays
eschews his roast beef sandwich, with war
bread as substitute. But the most en-
couraging sign of an awakening to gas

the restaurants. 1t is not only the big

mately related to the early struggles Of

We undertake no defense of some of the
