BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 1.-THE
government is planning to take over
practically all raw materials. This is
the essence Of the price control con-
templated by President Wilson. Coal,
oil, copper, iron, food and foodstufts
are the materials with which the war
must be waged and the control Of these
commodities for private profit pur-
poses has been found to be seriously
interfering with the successful prose-
cution Of the war.
Ships cannot be built, coal mined;
freight transported, nor munitions
made. because there are steel trusts,
copper trusts, oil trusts, and comblna-
tons Of spectators in food necessities,
gripping these commodities with a
covetous and tight grip until each has
squeezed out his usurious profit.
These are the reasons why President
Wilson went to see the federal trade
commission a few days ago and said:
Gentlemen, what are you doing, and
how soon may expect results from
your activities?"
The federal trade commission has
been made the most important arm OF
the executive branch of the govern.
ment. 1t has been called upon to do
almost impossible tasks. 1t has been
ordered to make a food survey on
liberal scale; to discover food produc-
ton cost and causes of high food prices.
1t has been ordered also to make re-
ports on the cost of producing coal,
copper, steel and other commodities.
The President expects to use these
reports as basis for the adminlstra.
ton price controlling plan. Knowing
the cost Of copper, the government will
declare copper a war necessity and
order the sale Of copper to the govern.
ment and to the allies at a price suffi.
Cient to cover the cost and to insure a
reasonable profit even to the most ex.
pensive mine. If the copper owners
object, the government will act under
powers already given by congress to
commander and take over the mines
and smelters. The same is true as to

Knitting!
We have all read of the great
need of handmade knitted articles
and what the Red Cross wants every
woman to knit if she knows how,
or to learn now if she does not. We
have grown so used to using ma
chine-made products that it seems
like step backward to do hand
work. Knitting machines, however
are complicated and cannot be made
over night while the demand for
wooden things has increased enor-
mously. The average man never
wore a wooden sock before this war,
but now the Allies have ten million
men to supply. While our factory
men are doing better than their
best" much more is needed. That
is where we women can step in and
help by using our spare minutes.
The muffler you are making may
seem to grow slowly, so slowly as
hardly to seem worth while, but if
you visualize a million other women
