Herbert Hoover Says Govern
.ment viii Not Attempt to
Say How Much Foodstuffs
Shall Bring,
WHEAT EXCEPTION TO
THE GENERAL RULE
Efforts at Regulation by Fix
ing Maximums Never Have
Worked in Any European
Country, He Says,


Washington, Sept. 6.-Price- fixing
place in the governments food con-
troll plans, Herbert Hoover, the food
administrator, today told the National
Livestock conference. Not only
would it be inadvisable to institute
price fixing in these industries, he de-
clared, but the food administration
has been given no such power.
AS long as there is a heavy demand
for meat with a decreased production,
Mr. Hoover said, meat prices will con-
tinue to soar. The hope of the foof
administration is that II can stabilize
quotations and thus eliminate specula-
ton.
Wants More Production.
Il cannot believe there is panacea
for a situation of this kind" said Mr..
Hoover. "Our problem is to increase
production. The best We may expect
is slow development towards the
ends We seek Drastic control OF
packing plants, with government OPP
GRAFTON an alternative, will not work.
We can administer food control only
through the cooperation of all inter-
ests concerned.
There is no power in the food bill
TO fix prices and we never have asked
that power Everywhere in Europe,
price efixing-that is the naming of
maximum prices-has failed. We had
the fixing of wheat prices thrust upon
us, as 1t is our duty to purchase 80 per
cent of the crop for export and we
had the wheat committee name price
as q guarantee to producers and to
stop speculation.
High Prices Assured.
"The meat situation is such that a
high price to producers is guaranteed
for many years. If war were to end
suddenly, or if the submarines were
to be overcome, however great stores
OF wheat would be released in Argen-
tina, Australia and India, and the bot
tom would have dropped out of the
market in this country. These three
nations will have on hand soon enough
wheat to feed the world, but ships
cannot be had to transport it.
Beef and pork present different
situations. We export a small amount
OF beef, relatively, but now We are
over-exporting PORK and it may be-
come necessary to take measures to
keep a proper relation between the

advice as to how this may be done.
No Legislation Likely.
There, is nothing that can be done
to stop the rise in meat prices if the
shortage continues, hut If we stabilize
prices the rise will move at continu-
Gus level. Produce must have a
price that will stimulate production
and must get that price, though there
can be no governmental guarantee
and | see no way to bring about vol
untary agreement as to the prices that
should be paid.
81 doubt if legislation to guarantee
producers a minimum price is wise
and in meat 1 believe it is impossible
to accomplish this"
Many of those attending the con-
ference expressed the opinion that
prices might be stabilized through
of the allies purchasing.

The Fashion

Variety is the spice OF life" said
some one at some time 50 long ago
that the saying has become a prov
CRIB. II is true, whether II be in
scene, environment, in fashions, or in
food. Variety is one thing which we
possess in fashions this season; var
iety in silhouettes, in materials, in
trimmings Smart clothes range in
design from the high-waisted styles
OF the First Empire, through fluffy
frills of the Mid-Victorian era and
Sraperies almost pannier-like, peg
ssbis, tand last but not least, straight
hanging models which are compared
10 the Egyptian garments Of very
ancient dynasty. They range from
the smartest OF low-necked evening
frocks Of silk and satin TO the simpl-
est Of ginghams, and from these to
the trimmest OF service suits.
Under the name service suits come
a number OF military models OF which
the sketch illustrated is good ex-
ample. Instead OF heather jersey,
which is a color mixture in which
brown Is flecked with deep pink,
green and lavender An inverted
pleat in the back of the coat adds 20
its style.
Another military model which I
saw very recently departed widely
from the military in It's development.
for it was made entirely of halsam-
green tussar, a reminder Of green
leaves and cool breezes in a Robin
Hood forest.
Although every ones mindi is run
ming more or less toward serving the
country and very naturally toward
costumes which would be practical for
any task that one might choose, there
are also charming frocks for other
occasions
