w Following his appointment
by the President as food admin
istratoF, Herbert C. Hoover yes
terday afternoon gave out a
statement Of his hopes and his
plans for the control of the food
situation of the country during
the continuance Of the war.
First, we hope" said Hoover,
ito so guide the trade Of the ma
ton that it will eliminate vicious
speculation in necessities, efforts
for extortion in the charging of
exorbjtant prices or to obtain in.
ordinate profits and many waste
fuI practises that have been en-
ployed in the past.
MUST GUARD EXPORTS
Second we must guard our ex-
ports and retain at home suffi-
Gent supplies for our own most
urgent needs at the same time
cooperating with our Allies and
always seeking to avoid imitation
Of prices. s~. IT,. .... ~ ~ ~
t''ln the, third place, we must
stimulate our powers to save
food, to eliminate waste in use
and to prevent abuse. 4. 4
STABILIZE, NOT DISTURB +
1T will be the purpose of the
food administration to stabilize
and not disturb conditions so far
as this can be done, to defend
honest enterprise against unlaw-
fut competition, to correct the
abnormaIities and abuses that
have crept into trade by reason
of the world disturbances and to
restore business to a reasonable
basis by reasonable methods
where such methods will bring
the desired results and by more
severe methods wherever and
whenever they may be found to
be necessary. KILN .
FORCE WHEN NEEDED
Il do not believe that drastic
methods and force will be neces-
sary TO achieve these purposes
but if any men or business organ.
izations are found to be schenl-
ing to increase the trials which
this country and its people can
not but be called upon to bear,
we shall not hesitate, to employ
to the fullest extent the drastic
coercive powers which congress
has conferred for the administra.
ton of food.
Il propose to formulate as
rapidly as possible constructive
regulation ofvarious commodities
and to put those regulations into
riQid operation. Att.
ALL MUST HELP ,
Seventy per cent of our peo'
pie are now thrifty and careful
and consume little more than Is
necessary. II is not too much tC
ask the other thirty per cent BY
more simple living to do theiI
part In reducing consumption o.
foods that are needed"

Tuesday morning some of the Alum.
nj entertained the school with ac-
counts of their college experience.
Talks about other schools are always
interesting bat these were more than
usually SO as all OF the speakers were
known to the school.
Miss Muriel Bsckus, who is attend
ing Smith College, gave brief history
of The college, telling how 1t had grown
from college of fourteen pupils until
today it numbers 1908. Miss Backus
especially showed the advantages of
college life, in that at college one has
chance to hear the greatest musicians
and lecturers.
Dana Johnson spoke of the unusual
advantages of Yale; especially of going
to college from which so many IA
nous men have been graduated, and
of rthe fine spirit il gives one to feel
that he must help to uphold the trsdi-
tions of the college.
Miss Bertha Richardson gave very
interesting account of Simmons Col
lege. She told of the history of the
school and described the different
courses of study. She commented es-
pecially on the fine way in which the
Freshmen are made to feel at home.
Donald Johnson described the life at
Bowdoin. He said the college was
small but had several distinct advan-
tages for that reason. He spoke of his
lost ideals of college life. He did not
find the mandolin playing and smok-
ing crowd that he had expected. There
was a great deal of fun though and he
was evidently not disappointed in
what he found. He warned the pupils
to pick their college ahead of time and
plan their courses to suit the require
ments of that college.
Samuel Walsh gave very enter
tanning talk on Brown. He especially
emphasized the democratic spirit that
pervades this college. He also spoke
of the advantages of city college in
that one may hear the best talent of
the city.

Reports Of Heads Of Departments Read

The flrst regular meeting OF the com-
mon council for 1917 was held last
Tuesday evening with all present ex
cept Alderman Davis who Is In Cali
fornia. In the absence OF Clerk Thos
Ryan on account Of illness Alderman
Kyrne acted.
The monthly report of the captain OF
police showed IA arrests In December
of which were sent to jail. Electric
light ont 400 hours, store door found
open, property reported stolen $40,
amount recovered $50. The committee
appointed TO investigate the matter of
fire conditions reported that they
deemed 1t advisable TO either provide
horses or an additional motor driven
truck for the north end of the city.
That hiring of horses In this section
was impossible and that TO own and
keep horse or horses would be greater
than the cost OF operating a motor
truck which, in their Judgment can be
purchased for from Two thousand TO
twenty five hundred dollars. They
called attention to the fac. that there
is balance of $3.50 in the regular fire
department appropriation which
might be used This would only leave
a balance of about $500 to be appro-
| priated.
When the treasurer's report was rend
IL was found that there was but $500 Ia
the fire department appropriation
balance. When the committee learned
this the report WAS temporarily with
drawn. Another report will be sub
mitted to special meeting Of the
council, Jan. Is.
The reports of heads Of departments
were read. Joseph Ryan, captain OF
police, read his own report. He stated
that If citizens would notify the police
whenever they saw an electric ligs
out II would mean saving TO the ca
rs credit is given by the company. f@
