WASHINGTON, May 1.-The German
submarine menace overshadowed even the ques-
ton of sending American soldiers to the front
at the war conference of the allies here today.
The British expert, Lord Eustacc Percy, in

war problem at the moment.
"'The situation is very serious" he said

RICH SHOULD EAT
LUXURIES SAYS
HERBERT HOOVER

NEW YORK. May 1.-AmerI-
can women can maintain tho
allied armies on the firing line
/, by eliminating waste in tho
home, in the opinion Of Herbert
Hoover, who Is to be American
food controller, In copyrghted
article In today's Housewife"
III we are TO pull our allies thru
with sufficient foodstuffs to main-
tain their men at the front and
their women and children at home,
we have simply got to reduce waste
and consumption Of foodstuffs to
the minimum upon which we can
maintain good health" Hoover
warns.
This can be done II we have the
united good will and devotion OF
the American women. They con-
troll directly So per cent of the total
food, being that part consumed in
the home. and they indirectly con-
troll large part of the food con-
sumed in public places
Hoover advises the wealthy to
eat luxuries exclusively, and thus
conserve the staples for exporta-
tion.
From the point of view of our
allies, and our own poor in these
times OF high prices" he said, the
ideal meat OF the well-to-do would
be terrapin, turkey and tenderloin. "
Urging every housewife TO study
scientific food values. Hoover sug-
gested that Americans. so far as
possible. eat fish, fruit, potatoes.
vegetables. poultry and dairy prod
ucts. which cannot be exported. and
save the eXportable grains and sta
pies. such as sugar. lard and cured
meats.

Editor Chickasha Daily Express:
On Sunday, Feb. is, l came from
NARROW to Chickasha to be treated by
DR.. Bonnell While in Chickasha I lost
thirty dollars in currency, practically
all had but railroad ticket. The
doctor advertised the lost currency in
your paper and Mrs Martin Coryeil
phoned Dr. Bonnell that she had the
lost money in her possession and that
her boy had found same and when pro-
per identification was made it would
be turned over to the owner. This lost
money has taught me two lessons:
First, to take greater care in the way
l carry money: second. that the City
of Chickasha has some citizens whose
character is the soul of honor. The re-
covery Of my lost money makes me
feel that all the honest people are not
dead yes. and some Of these right doing
people like the Coryell family live in
Chickasha.
