CITY HOUSEWIVES
ARE SAVING FATS
Garbage Pals Show Great
Reduction in Waste
Matter
WOMEN PROVE
THEIR PATRIOTISM

The garbage pail is a pretty good
food thermometer to show whether
Wilmingtonians are saving food or
throwing it away. In October, II was
estimated that the amount Of fats
saved, comparing the garbage OF this
year with that OF October in 1916, was
about 80 per cent.
Watch was kept on The garbage for
the month Of November and tabula-
lions made and announced today by
William F. Corey, who has been look
ing after this end Of food conservation
for Josiah Marvel, acting food direc-
tor, show that about - per cent. more
fats were saved in November than in
October
If the comparisons and figures fo-
October were accurate, then It would
appear that Wilmington housewives
have cut down the amount OF fats dis
carded by about 60 per cent.
In this connection II is not telling any
secret when 10 Is said that I'm certain
localities where there used 10 be an an
nual amount Of waste. there has been
q surveillance maintained 20 learn II
there has been an observance OF Hoover
principles about waste. 10 is reported
that the food saving program has been
very closely adhered % insofar as the
absence OF fats from garbage pals.
These people. either through patriotism
or fear Of results. have refrain1i from
dlscarding fats that could be made into
SOAPS, II not otherwise used. This fact
has been very gratifying TO Mr.. Marvel,
sor he believes that It Is due entirely
10 the patriotism with which the peO-
pie Of Delaware have taken hold and
supported the Food Administration. .. the
same as they have Loyalty stood by
every other thing that was asked by
the government.
Miss Charlotte Johnson. the young
woman xpert sent here by the gov
ernment from Columbus, Ohio, TO aid
IN food conservation plans among the
women, has suggested certain menus

 When Chairman Kitchin of the House Ways and Means Committee said something in the effect that the proposed per cent. tax on the excess profits of corporations and partnerships would be borne chief ly north of Mason and DiXons line he said foolish thing. It exactly foolish the old Republican complaint against the individual income tax that it would be borne chiefly by the people of New York
 That the Republicans of Congress should fall back upon this remark in their fight against the reve- nue bill reveals the poverty of their Such tax is being levied by the leading beigerents in the Eur Opean for purposes and against excessive cor porate profits made possible by It war ranaby and justly be levied in this country for pre- paredness purposes against war on excessive profits made possible by actual abroad
