Save the Crusts!

With smaller loaves of bread or higher
prices. or both, an assurance of the near
future it behooves every housewife, as
suggested yesterday in The Star by one of
the leading bakers of Washington, to
practice the strictest economy. 1t is a
significant fact that large producer of
bread whose interest normally is to look
for larger consumption, breaches war
against waste in the kitchen. Mr.. Corby
speaks from intimate knowledge of the
bread situation He knows that there
is a shortage of wheat and rye and that
breadmaking materials are steadily ris-
ing in price. In these conditions the
crusts and 'heels" must be used. There
are many ways to utilize bread waste so
that no portion of the loaf is lost.
Kitchen economies have become ma
tional duty.

America and Her Crops.
This is from Chicago:


Give hundred students of the agri-
cultural college of the University of
Illinois left Chicago tonight for Winni-
peg, Manitoba. on their way to the Sas-
katoon country of northwestern Canada
where they will help produce the war
winning wheat crop The men will be
distributed to the individual farmers by
the Dominion government, which has
guaranteed a minimum wage of $50 a
month and board, two-thirds of each
mans railroad fare in Canada and prom
ised homestead of 100 acres to each
who serves six months in the fields
These lads have taken this step with
out sufficient thought or information.
Let us hope that they would not have
taken it-could not have been induced
to take it-had they been properly ad-
yised. The blame is on their elders, who
should have pointed out to them the
path of duty.
Not only wheat crop but other crops
must be taken into account in the war
calculations, and the United States as
we'll as Canada has such calculations. On
this side of the border plans are being
made and hopes entertained touching
"war- winning" crops; and everybody
available is adjured to get busy. And
yet here are five hundred young Ameri-
cans lost to their country in the emer-
geney.
are likely to be higher here at home
than in Canada Our farm productions
are expected to set the pegs. Acreage
will be much increased, and the latest
methods of cultivation employed. Men,
young and old, who know how to WELD
"the shovel and the hoe" and want work,
will be able to find employment at bet
ter pay than they have ever received
before.
But with the American, young or old,
wages should not now be the sole or the
controlling consideration. He should
think in other terms than dollars and
cents, and act under higher influences
than mere gain. There has been sound
ed call to arms; and the word arms
as now used is comprehensive. 1t means
gun for one man, pillow for another,
a turning lathe for another, and so on.
The tools to the man who can use them.
And bearing arms of some kind is now
an American duty. America expects
every man to respond.
There are great many students in
the agricultural colleges throughout the
country, and all have the opportunity
of their lives today. All should be urged
to seize and make the most of it. What
ever they have learned at school they
should put at the service of the country
at time when public service is in
sistent and those who perform it achieve
a decoration of more lasting value than
lands or wages.

Politics and the Law.

Mr. Borah, just turned fifty, and in
the middle of his second term as SEN
ator, will not offer for reelection. He
gives as reason his desire to make fnan-
cial provision for the future. He is poor
in purse, and has the interests of his
family in view
For men of his class there is no money
in politics Such men have not money
in mind when they enter politics, nor
while they remain there. Theirs is a
much higher object, and they hest ac-
complish it by keeping while in Office
money-making out of consideration.
Nevertheless, as other men, they must
provide for the future, and make hay in
season.
This is a fat period for lawyers of
Mr. Borah's grade. Fees are large, and
business is abundant Men who have mas
| tered the law, and are favored with gifts
of superior expression giving them
weight with both judges and juries-find
ready and constant employment. The
American bar has probably never be-
fore contained so many members of the
highest intellectual standard. They are
numerous and widely known, the picl
tnioyins national reputation. In Thu

Timely and Vital Legislation.

In his report or address before the
Board of Trade last night (printed else
where in The STAR Theodore W. Noyes
commended vigorously that this is pc
cuharly opportune time to adopt the
Chamberlain constitutional amendment,
which empowers Congress to give to the
District representation in Congress and
the electoral college. He urged this leg
islation as a natural and even essential
part of wise national war-preparedness.
To Americanize the political aliens of
the District of Columbia is to do jus
tice, to relieve the nation from reproach
and shame, and to reflect the very
thought and spirit of the times, which
demand purer, higher, stronger Amer
icanism from both nation and individ-
ual citizen.
As in this national crisis every Ameri-
can experiences a new birth of devoted
love of country, impelling him irresisti-
bly, to every sacrifice necessary to her
defense, so the nation herself thrills
with deeper and prouder affection for
the sons whom she rallies to her pro-
lection and who so devotediy respond
These times thus develop a vitalized
and intensified devotion to the nation
by individuals; and reciprocal proud
and affectionate consideration, vastly
augmented, on the part of the nation
toward the individual
Is ones Americanism feeble and fab
by, Now is the time to electrify it and
to rush through its veins an invigorat-
ing and inspiring current of American
good red blood.
Is the nation on the other hand dis
creditably inconsistent in its American
ismf Is it inconsiderate and neglectful
of the American rights and privileges of
any whom it summons to sacrifice prop
erty and life in its defense'
If so, this is the very time for re-
dress of grievances, not wrung from ma
tional necessity by the blackmailing de-
mand of the aggrieved as condition of
patriotic support, but voluntarily and
gladly given by the nation TO the indi-
vidual as natural result of the exalted
spirit of true Americanism, which is
now manifest in the nation collectively
as well as in Americans individually.

Able leadership.

Representative Kahn of California,
placed by peculiar circumstances, though
a republican, in charge of the admins
tration's bill for raising an army by
q system of selective draft, closed the
general debate in the House yesterday
with a speech that deserves especial at
tention as a mastery and convincing
statement of the case. If recruits were
needed to win the day for the selective
draft Mr.. Kahn's presentation would
surely have made converts in sufficient
number to carry the day. 1t was a con-
tribution TO cotemporaneous history, a
review of American experiences in terms
that left no question that dependence
in this great emergency upon volunteer
ing would leave the country seriously
short of forces for the unfolding of the
national honor and the maintenance of
tho industrial organization. The test
vote taken ,oday in the committee of
the whole shows an overwhelming ma
jority for the selective draft in the
House and presages its adoption at the
close of today's proceedings, and if this
result is achieved high credit must be
given to the representative from Cali
fornia who has SO ably led the fight.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-04-28

day of publicity, the masterful lawyer
shares notice, with the masterful poll
tician.
But if the bar will gain, politics viii
lose by the retirement of the Idaho SEN
ator from office. His service in the Sen
ate has been conspicuously able, and Sc
cured place for him in the front rank
in that body. And this is n time when
the country needs in national commits
sion men of his ability, training and
demonstrated aptitude for affairs. We
are launched on new courses, and put
ting our institutions to new tests. We
are taking large part in world affairs,
and committed to the effort to restore
peace to all nations.
Politics charms, and men who yield
to tie charm do not easily shake it off.
Some who try fail, and, with oppor-
tunity, return to a field always full of
interest Others who fail in an effort
to return have their disquietude and
restlessness increased.
There may be trial in store for Mr..
Borah. Private life may not prove to
be as attractive and satisfying as it now
looks, and he may long for Office again.
He is young as politicians are reckoned,
and has time both to fill his purse at the
bar and then add to his reputation as a
politician.

Uniform the Industrial Reserves.

In The Star yesterday there appeared
Theodore Whitmarsh, president of the
National Wholesale Grocers' Associa-
ton, a suggestion which deserves serious
consideration Mr. Whitmarsh proposes
that as a feature of the selective draft
to be instituted under the bill which is
expected to pass Congress today pro-
vision be made for placing every per-
son chosen, whether for military or in
dustrial service, in uniform. He would
have every American eligible to national
duty, whether at the front or in the
miHs, or in the shops or on the farms,
put in distinctive clothing indicative of
his selection. There would be then no
need of explanations. No one could be
thought slack in his patriotism. The
men not Immediately needed at the front
could go about their usual duties secure
in the assurance of general esteem. They
would be soldiers assigned to civilian
duties
In this war every American should
desire to do his part, whatever it may
be, whether fighting or figuring, digging
or manufacturing, selling or harvesting.
The spectacle of the American nation in
uniform, with the greater part remain
ing on posts Of civilian responsibility,
would be inspiring. It could not fail
to impress the world with the practical
readiness If tha republic 70 do ito duty
