HOOVER TO ASK
 MORE ECONOMIC
 MEASURES SOON

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13.- Chairman Herbert c. Hoover, of the national food administration, tonight announced that the administration would soon ask that all Americans adopt more economic food measures to meet the European demands for relief He declared that the food situation in Europe Is daily growing more grave, and that unless Ameri- ca is able to save more food suit able for shipment some of the na- lions would suffer seriously from starvation.
 The administration Is now working out a system which 1t will recon mend for adoption. The conservation ghich the food controller has urged consistently Is being adopted by a great majority of the private citizens, as we'll as restaurants and hotel men, but there are some who have
 far disregarded it. It Is not the wish of the administration, it Is said,
 0 force this conservation, but un- less it is voluntarily accomplished, it will probably have to be done under regulations which will be en- iorced by federal officials.

They will inspect alleys and back

Nearly Three Hundred Mobilize
at City Hall When Given
Word.
TAKES ONLY 40 MINUTES
CY. ,PIEH

"Be prepared" is one of the chief
notices Of the Boy Scouts of
America. Last night almost 800
Omaha Scouts proved that they are
prepared to meet an emergency on
short notice.
Scout Executive c. H. English of
the Omaha council of the organiza-
ton, hurriedly issued the first emer-
gency call ever made here, for the
purpose of testing the preparedness
and efficiency of of the lads.
Within forty minutes of the time
English began to issue the call by
telephone through the various mas
tiers of scout troops, 276 scouts from
all parts of Greater Omaha and ad-
joining suburbs had answered the call
and were assembled in order in the
council chamber of the city hall.
Some of the scouts came consider
able distances on street cars, bicycles
and motorcycles from such remote
parts of the city as Brown park on
the South Side, the Deaf Institute
district in northwest Omaha, the
Field club district on the west and
Prairie park on the north.
Most OF them came wearing the
neat uniform of the organization. In
we'll drilled order they took seats,
grouped according to the troop to
which they belonged. Breathlessly
they waited to learn the reason for
being summoned by the emergency
call.
Test of Ability.
Scout Executive English explained
that it was test of their ability to
assemble quickly and be ready for any
emergency that might require their
assistance. Later he said:
1T demonstrates how big organi-
cation of well trained lads can be
quickly assembled to help out in any
emergency that might come upon the
community. In case Of widespread
fire, a tornado or any other emer-
gency that might arise, Omaha could
have 800 or more prepared and eff
hcient scouts ready within a very
short time to help the authorities
handle the crowds, give first aid to
the injured, carry messages, or assist
in any other way.
