lance. and, beside the campaign to
reach adults at once. there will bea long.
arduous follow-up campaign to teach
American children the necessity for
economy in buying, preparing and eat
ing food.
In the Department Of Labor tho
bureau of naturalization supplies
household labor through its employ
nnent agency. and the bureau of labor
statistics collects information. consid-
cred of great value. regarding house
hold employment and surveys of the
cost of living like that recently made
in Washington.
The children's bureau also collects
information regarding standards of liv-
ing and the effects of these standards
on children, and upon that bureau
will fall the burden of seeing that no
economy effort, food shortage or high
prices interfere with the nutrition thai
will make sound-bodied men and
women of our future citizens.
Out at the bureau of standards techn<
cal studies are made of household
measures and materials. The bureau of
fisheries deals with the production and
utilization of food fish In the United
States. It's successful efforts to
popuIarize tuna fish. tile fish and even
whale meat are likely to be followed
by efforts to point the way to n great
err utilization of seafood.
In the Treasury Department the pub
lie health service has directly to do
with food from a highly important
angle In it's campaigns for sanitation.
1t distributes literature in this respect
and at a time when food may be scarce
its activities viii be all the more need
ed because of the temptation to let
down the standards of hygienic living.
Though designed primarily to handle
food clothing and shelter for men in
military service, the Office of the quar-
tcrmaster general of the War Depart
ment frequently evolves methods of
distribution and conservation that give
a hint to civilian work in the same
field. The bureau of supplies and ac-
counts of the navy serves in a similar
capacity for that branch.
A volunteer but official agency which
promises to play gradually increas-
ing part in food distribution is the
commercial economy board of the coun-
ell of national defense. This board.
headed by A. w. Shaw, already has
made important recomme ndations re-
gardtng the readjustment of delivery
systems to meet wartime conditions,
and it VIII study more thoroughly the
overburdened and sometimes antiauat-
ed distribution machinery in large
cities.
Two of the women who are doing
able work in assisting DR.. Wilbur in
preparing his early plans for women's
registration are Miss Sarah Field
Splint and DR.. Alice c. Houghton. The
former is the editor of woman's
magazine. The latter is both an educa-
tor and a domestic science expert She
was the first woman to take the degree
of doctor of philosophy at the Univer-
sity OF California.
Incidentally 1t is interesting to motto
how many of the folk who are helping
organize the country's food resources
come from the west. where some east
