that any change in the provision as it

Upon leaving Chicago the mission
will proceed to st. Louis, Kansas
City, Springfield, ILL.,, Philadelphia
New York and Boston, returning tu
Washington probably in ten days. AS
measure of safety the state depart
ment has withheld the routes to be
travelled.
Elaborate entertainments and re-
ceptions have been planned for the
members Of the mission and hundreds
of thousands of people are expected
to greet them. Before the commission
left NJ. Viviani issued the following
statement to the newspaper CORE
spondents
To the Newspaper Men.
Gentlemen: Allow me to express
my sincere regret if circumstances
prevent my bidding you goodbye in
person this morning. But today every
moment is taken up and I cannot, un-
fortunately, shake hands with you in
dividually. But 1 desire not to leave
Washington without thanking you for
the help you have so kindly extended
to us and the cordial and sympathet-
ic ways in which you have always
spoken of our missieq.
"The mission will always retain q
grateful recollection Of the most
charming hospitality which has been
extended to it and of all the deliacte
attentions by which it has been sur
rounded in this beautiful city Major

regrets are diminished by the thought
that after the most interesting trip
we are about to take We shall return
to this city, where we can find no
better conclusions to the journey we
have so pleasantly begun. Consequent
ly, bid you au reyoir, not adieu.

THERE IS no OCCASION
TO BECOME PANICkT

Columbia, S. c., May 2.-DaYid r.
Coker, chairman Of the State Prepar-
eGness commission, in a statement
issued today, discouraged the idea
OF boarding food in South Carolina.
He says that this practice should be
discouraged in every way possible.
He issued the following statement to
the people of the State.
"The attention of our commission
has been called to the fact that a few
OF our people are boarding foodstuffs.
We know Of few Instances where
citizens have bought sufficient staples.
such as -four, corn meal, etc., to last
them six months or more. This prac-
tice should be discouraged in every
way possible. By such means the
food stringency is made more acute,
prices are artiiciaIy advanced, and
of course, the poor are made to SUI
fer.
The great interest and enthusias-
tic cooperation manifested all over
the State leads the Civic Prepared
ness commission to believe that the
campaign for Increased production
will result in very largely relieving
the foodstuffs shortage in South Car
olina by early fall. Even now tnous-
ands of families are setting a large
part of their living from their gar
dens, and waste Of foodstuffs is the
exception instead of the rule

for anyone to become panicky. Each
citizen should buy and use as little
food as possible Food boarding ana

PLAN SERVICE RESERVE
TO Do NATIONS TASKS

Washington, May 3.-Plans for a
great national service reserve made
I'D Of men not subject to draft into

proved by the war department. were
submitted to the council Of national
defense today at conference OF the
council with State governors and rep
resentatives Of State defense coun-
cils.
Members OF the reserve would be
available for any service they could
perform for the government.
The plans were presented by George
Wharton Pepper, representative OF
the Pennsylvania State defense eoun-
Gil and chairman Of a national COM
Inittee of patriotic an defense soele-
ties.
The reserve would be headed by
a board OF nine nationally known
men. who would operate through a

all the States. Under the national
committee there would be State and
district committees and in Washing

stated, by Former President Taft,
Mai. Gen. George w. Goethals and
Henry L. Stinson, former secretary
Of war.
The purposes of the organization,
as outlined to the defense council,
would be to furnish any military or
civil service which could not be per-
formed by enlisted men, to aid in re-
cruiting, to work under any private
employer engaged on government con-
tracts, or on farms and to supply the
army and navy. When not in active

HOOVER ARRIVES

YSilI Not Be Foed Dictator, But VIII

Washington, May 4.-Herbert c.
Hoover, recently named chairman OF
the food commission of the council
of national defense, arrived here to-
day to advise the government on food
conditions abroad and on measures
the allied governments have taken to
conserve their food supplies. He d1-
vided the day between conferences
with department heads and prepara-
ton of report on the food needs on
the allies.
"I have been called a food dtcta-
tor" said Mr.. Hoover tonight, but
that is incorrect. What I am here
for is to give my services to the ma
ton in any way I can be OF use. Sec
retary Houston will control the eoun-
try's food supply under bills pending

ton in Europe until he had made MS

cate the requirements of the allied
countries, their capacity to produce

outline steps the allies are taking to
reduce consumption and how they are
meeting distribution and other prob
lens. 1 do not know what the gov
ernment will require of me. l am

Mr.. Hoover probably will report on
prohibition abroad and present estl-
mates of the amount Of American
foodstuffs that go into the manufac-
ture Of liquor in the allied countries
This information will be turned over
Immediately to the department OF
agriculture which has DR.. Alonzo
Taylor of Pennsylvania studying the
situation. The food bills pending In

power to prescribe prohibition res
trictions.

Summer Furs.
'Furs are not to be discarded when
the warm days come They will be-
worn all through the spring and SUM-
mer just as they were LAST year.
Those who gasped at the thought OF
wearing furs in summer last year
did so because they did not realize
that the, furs the fashionable. women
wore were not the wiItry kind, but
specially light, summer fufs: Although
the fashion started as a fad, it has
been proved that a light fur wrap for
the shoulders is really acceptable in
certain parts of the country, espec-
ially in the evenings. And, Of course,
every woman realizes, how wonder
7ut becoming they are. Fur appears
as trimming on several Of the new
satin wraps and coats. Satin is con-,
sidered especially smart for wraps.
as well as dresses, and is therefore
very prominent.
The High Cost Of Shoes.
The interest in footwear grows
more and more as We hear Of the
soaring prices of leather. Plain low
pumps to be worn with spats are gcr
ing to be worn very much now a.
this will be one of the means Of saly-
ing the problem Of the high cost OF
shoes. Black patent leather pumps
with Shite or sand-colored spats IS
the fashionable combination. In both
pumps and high shoes, gray and the
light tan shades, which are 80 very
popular in dress materials. are also
found in shoes. Kid and suede are
equally smart for all occasions. In
high shoes the upper part IS usually
Of O. light shade, either white, gray
or light tan. and the lower part OF
q darker leather.
