Washington. May 1l.-Charges that
an "unpatriotic and dIsloyal lobby,
representing food spectators and gam
blers, is using every effort to defeat
the Administrations legislation TO
place the Department of Agriculture on
war basis, and that present food
prices are entirely out of proportion to
supplies, were made by Department OF
Agriculture officials to-day.
These spectators who are holding
up America are allies of the Kaiser"
was the statement of Carl Vrooman,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
They should be made to feel the loath-
ing and contempt Of every patriotic
American"
Mr.. Vrooman's statement IN full
reads:
"Never in the history of the world
have the business men Of the country
shown as much patriotism and un-
sefshness as have been manifested
since the war began. An overwhelming
majority Of them have been as ready
10 place their business organizations
and their personal services and their
wealth at the disposal Of the Federal
government in this crisis as the young
men have been to do the actual fight

However. this attitude has not been
universal. There are food spectators,
food cornerers and food gamblers, some
or them men Of immense wealth and
others of very small means, who are
to-day taking advantage of war con-
ditions TO exploit their fellow citizens
TO the full extent Of their ability
These men are allies of the Kaiser and
are doing their utmost to defeat the
patriotic purposes of the nation.

War Powers Essential

That step should have been taken
several weeks ago. The bills now be-
fore Congress were drawn up after the
Department OF Agriculture had con-
suited with every agricultural college
in the United States, with every state
Department Of Agriculture, with every
agricultural paper or magazine and
with experts familiar with the expert
enee of Europe during the last three
years. The additional powers asked
for are powers which are possessed
and exercised by the governments Of
every European nation now at war.
They have been demonstrated to be
absolutely essential war powers.

ON BIRTH REGISTRATION.


Why has the United States Jagged
behind other civilized countries II
the care and completeness with whic!
births are registered? All the States
fail to provide for some Of their
children the official record which
may become to any citizen at any
lime essential for the protection oil
his property rights, or even OF bis
life.
The Children's Bureau of the U.
| S. Department of Labor has taken
up the question because the record.
ing of births affects children i'm
mediately and in various ways. Com
plete registration is indispensable
to any comprehensive work for the
welfare of babies. Without it, resu-
lations for the prevention of blind
ness in babies can not be enforced;
the public-health nurse can not be
sure of reaching every baby in the
congested districts; and the death
rate among babies that most SEN
sitive index of social well-being-
can not be reckoned either for the
community as a whole or for dis
tricts within the community.
The Children's Bureau, in cooper
alton with the Census Bureau, has
therefore devised an informal test
which is carried out by local com
mittees and which brings home to
The parents of young babies the i'm
portance of accurate and complete
birth registration, for, after all, it
is upon the interest and understand
ing of parents that an absolutely
complete record must, in this coun-
try, depend
OF course a good State law is
necessary to provide the machinery
for registering births in each COM
munity and forwarding records to
the State Registrar A good law is
necessary to give authority for the
filming of physicians and mid-wives
who habitually fail to report the
births they attend, and such filming
has proved essential for securing
registration in some communities.
But even with a good law and Of
ficials who honestly try to enforce
it, there will always be some IN
registered babies unless parents in
sist upon having their children's
births recorded.
Interest in birth registration is
constantly growing. Many State and
city health departments are sys-
tematically working for better regis
tration in their respective districts.
Volunteer committees in 2s2 CON-
munities in 81 States have already
reported to the Children's Bureau ON
local tests, and over $50 committees
are now at work. And Baby-Week
campaigns usually include a birth
registration day or some other spe-
cial publicity for the subject.

not warrant Its support.
Club plans for 1917 are better than ever
before, and clubs are now being organized
all over the state. All that will be neces-
sary for the organization Of club at Els
worth will be for local committee of at
least three truly philosophical persons

county agent will do all that he can to aid
in the movement.
1t is hoped that those who are interested

War Comes-To Take Places
of Men Who Join Colors.

Six thousand girls, from fourteen to
thirty years old, are ready to AID II
war comes. Miss Theodore Booth,
president of the Girls National Honor
guard. has offered the services of all
members to President Wilson.
The honor guard Is strictly a nrst
aid body. There are three training
divisions in first aid-to the wounded,
to families and general utility.
Members OF the organization must
be proficient in at least one OF the FOL
lowing: Plain cooking, care OF chill
dren, letter writing and reading, driv-
ing automobiles. riding. swimming and
shooting. management OF motor and
sail boats, telegraphy and wireless
codes and knowledge Of geographical
locations Of states, principal cities,
forts and hospitals,
rQur idea Is not to conflict with 9th.
er women's organizations, but rather
to supplement their work." said Miss
Booth recently. "If the men are called
to defend our colors their wives will
! have to be the business heads Of the
home. which will make 1t hard, partic'
ularly for the women with children.
Our girls, however, will be able to stef
into the homes OF women who have
to 20 out to work and care for theii
| children.
Nearly every state In the Union is
represented In our movement, and we
! have the Endorsement of forty-flve gov

help her country can join our ranks.
