| G. Shaw, chairman of the Home Eco
Monies committee of the Food Con-
servation committee that has recent
ly closed a very successful campaign
in this city, the generals in charge of
the twelve districts of the city, met
at her home on Sanford Place yester-
day afternoon. The object of the
meeting was to consider plans to car
ry out further that which signing the
food pledge implies, and to find a
practical means to put these plans into
effect.

! stone.
Miss Angel laid especial stress on
| the absolute necessity for conserva-
ton and placed before the ladies three
| courses which could be followed in
carrying out the plans Of the Food Adj
| nninistration. After some discussion
| it was decided that the third course
| which Is Home Economics, was the
one that could best be handled here.
| This embraces the home budget;
stretching the family pocketbook; re-
novating the clothes-press; economical
| dishes; meal planning; cooperative
buying; and the community kitchen.
It was decided to have series of talks
to inform the women Of the city just
what the emergency war kitchen
| means. How would carry out the
! idea of the Federal Food Administra-
| ton. Mrs Philip H olzer offered the
use of the Art League rooms for a
| big general meeting which is to be
held on Wednesday afternoon, De-
/ cember 5. All of the women's organ
| izations in the city are to be repre-
scented and at that time further decis-
/ ion will be reached as to what is best
| to. be done.
''The entrance of America into this
war has made victory a certainty, and
| now you have a more United Ameri-

A divided America would be the
greatest calamity and President Will

to do her best said Sir George Reid,

Warner on Broad street.
eft Is horrible situation" he con-
tinued, what can we make of Ger
man psychology? That nation takes
the viewpoint that 1t will be the con-
| queror and as such will have nothing
| to answer for. If Germany wins the
| whole world will be helpless and at
her mercy It Is inconceiveab1e that
| our Grand Alliance. will allow Ger
many to sit in at the peace table. If
we win despots will never again be
allowed to WELD power. Think sof
| the horrible power vested in one
mans hands. Had he said mo-
there would have been no war, mil
! lions of lives would have been saved,
/ but he said yes No man ever
again must have such power. We
must destroy utterly the opportunity

from a repetition of such things"

the British Empire which is an I'M
usual honor. He is most enter

I'VE get the most happiness" said
he, ''by cultivating the good qualities
Of other people and in believing In the
i good qualities Of human nature. When
I reach an obstacle that cannot be
surmounted in any way, lie down
in the shade of it and consider it a
blessing in disguise. Indeed many
of our failures are just that. A SEN
sible optimist makes every failure g
stepping stone to success"
