war preparations that have been made
in their various communities.
Mr.. Hoover'S address, which was the
feature of the session, outlined the
relief work which had been done un-
der his direction in Belgium. He said
that by ordinary effort America could
produce 50 per cent OF what the allies
used. The other 20 per cent must be
supplied by seIf-denial and rigid econ
omy. He urged that this economy be-
gin at once in the homes.
:. The women piled him with questions
kbout conserving foodstuffs, and he
gave a number of apt Illustrations OF
how II could be applied to the average
home menu. Dr.. Lyman Wilbur, who
Is Mr.. HOOver's assistant, followed
with a plea that the women begin a
campaign Of education that will en-
thuse the wOmanhood of the country
IN Lne conservation pldllS-

tatoes and fresh meat only once a day.
Mss Mabel BOardman, Of the Red
Cross, reported that 5000 trained
nurses are waiting to be called 10 the
front. Organization of the motor ser
vice OF the Red Cross is proceeding
rapidly, she declared.

eracy, urged the women to take the
message of economy back to their
homes through their various organiZa-
tons throughout the United states,
President Anna Howard Shaw pledged
the support Of the suffragists, and
Mrs. Raym- nd Morgan spoke for the
local suffragists.
DR.. c. 2. Claxton. United States
Commissioner of Education, declared
that the standards of child labor
should not be swept aside because of
the war There is no necessity. he
argued, for suspending schools. They
Ehould be kept open at all hazards.
All Of the delegates present pledged
themselves to work in cooperation
with the Council of National Defense
in what ever regulations may be es-
tablishei by Mr.. Hoover for the saw
ing OF the food supply.
