 London, Feb. 2.-The question lis the nation washing too much i'm war time?" is emblazoned over one of the booths of the National Economy Exhi- bition here, under the patronage of the Duke of >Connaught. The booth aims to impress on the British house.
 that every possible saving in laundry work is step toward winning the war. "Men should wear soft col

 The reasons for economy in laundry work are two-fold, according to the oromot of the exhibition. First laundry work calls for valuable labor which might be more usefully en- ployed Second, washing involves the expenditure of money, fuel, time and soap-all of the highest importance in war time.
 '"Thc society woman is the worst of- fender in the matter of laundry bills, says the exhibitions / appeal. Her maids wear unnecessary aprons ana caps in the afternoon, and starched frocks in the morning. A good overall in a dark color is the proper thing. Thousands of women waste the na- tion's time, money, fuel and labor Tn starched frilly clothes for their chll- dren"

ADMITS FOOD DANGER
THREATENS GERMANY
Dictator Can Give No Hope Of Sup
plies From Neuhals.

LONDON. May 14.--Herr Won Bs-
tocEi. the German food dictator, has
admitted In a speech that the crops
were disappointing in Turkey, Bull.
garia. Hungary. and the occupied
parts OF Roumania, and admitted that
American cooperation with England
to prevent food reaching Germany
through neutrals ends all hope of help
from this source, which has been con.
siderable.
As heretofore, Herr Won Batocki in,
sisted that the country would pass
through this years crisis until the
harvest, but he said IL would be a
hard task.
The speech made a profound i'm.
preston throughout Germany, and
was considered the most pessimistic
authoritative utterance yet. The
people consider II preliminary to a
further rigorous cutting down OF
food, which cannot be sustained with.
out destroying the working capacity
Of millions Of people.

HAS SCHEME TO UNITY
PHILIPPINE DIALECTS
Island University President Would
Teach Native Language.

The idea OF creating a national lam
guage for the Filipinos through the
unifcation of the different Philippine
dialects, instead OF having the native
dialects give way to the English Ian
guage-the use of which is rapidly
becoming more and more general in
the Philippines through the medium
of the public schools-has found a
warm supporter in Ignacio Villamor,
president OF the University OF the
Philippines, says the Manila Times.
Mr.. VilIamor declares that besides
foreign languages, the Filipino peo-
pie should have their own national
language, and stated to a Times re-
porter that as soon as enough funds
are obtained the university will In
troduce in its curriculum a course for
the scientific study OF the different
dialects, with a view of their unifica-
