SENATE PASSES
FOOD BILL, SIG
Control Board of Three
Wheat Minimum Two
Dollars

Washington, July 22.-The admin
istration food control bill, virtually re-
written after five weeks of bitter con-
test, was passed Saturday by the Sen
ate, 81 to 6. Conferees from House
and Senate will begin work early nex
week, and leaders are hopeful the
measure may be in the Presidents
hands in ten days.
AS revamped, the bill gives the
President broad authority over foods,
feeds and fuels, the latter including
kerosene and gasolene: provides fol
administration by a food board OF
three members instead of an indi-
vidual; authorizes Federal fixing OF
coal prices and requisitioning and op-
GRAFTON of mines; and authorizes a
minimum guaranteed price of not less
than 50 per bushel for wheat at pri
mary markets.
The Senate prohibition sections, pro
hibiting manufacture of distilled bev
erages during the war and directing
the President to buy all distilled spir
itS in bond, was substituted for tho
House bone dry" provision, and will
be one subject of difficulty in confer
ence.

General Crowder tonight issued the
following statement:
The drawing is complete, and has
apparently been successful The off,
cial tally sheets have been compared,
sent to the printer and the proof is
being received. Final copies will be
ready for distribution not later than
Tuesday.
THE next step will be the certifica-
ton of the results of the drawing to
4,557 local boards and the application
by each board of its charter to it's
serially numbered list. This need con-
sumo little time, and, when done, the
order of priority Of the nearly 10000
600 registrants to report for examina-
ton will be revealed.
Such additional drafts as may be
ordered by the President will be filled
by calling men in the order of this
established priority, and no further
drawing will ever be necessary. Each
local board, upon receipt of it's chart,
and upon notification by the Governor
of the quota to be raised by it, may
proceed at once, under regulation al
ready promulgated, to summon men
for examination.
I'VE now have passed the stage in
the execution of the selective act when
we must have concert of action by the
States. In raising state contingents
the race is to the swiftest.
Il cannot let this opportunity pass
without referring to the very great
value of the assistance which has been
earnestly and efficiently rendered by
the press"

A call has come from France, to the
Red Cross, asking for 10000 wooden
garments for the men at the front.
These include sOx, mits, muf1ers,
sweaters, and they must be made by
women. Everybody that is anybody is
knitting, and everywhere milady goes
her knitting-in a knitting bag of sorts
is sure to go, tOO-like Mary's lamb.
People who never touched knitting
needle before have mastered the art
of knitting sox and find the work fas-
cinating.
When we contemplate the brief his
tory of a pair of sox we realize that
the task of furnishing them will never
be through with until the war ends.
Supplies of sox must be sent In relays,
one after the other, because, sturdy as
the knitted wooden ones are, they will
wear out.
Muflers are easier for the begin
ner. and the sort Of sweaters required
are not very difficult. They are sleeve
less and are really chest and back pro-
tectors. ALI the knitted garments
must be made according to stand
ards, which will be furnished by the
Red Cross to those who apply for
them.
A luxury that can be made by wom-
on who do not knit-if there are any
will interest them. Feet that get sore
in the trenches can be rested and
helped to heal by felt slippers, and
these can be made by women at home.
AS we care for the comfort of our men
when they are at home working for us.
so we must care for their comfort
when they are away-working and
fighting for us and for those that come
after us. No woman can be lndifer-

Small Breaks In Lace.

Where there are only few threads
broken in Irish or Swiss lace they can
easily be repaired with a needle and
thread the same size as that used in
the manufacture of the lace. Place a
tiny knot at the end of the thread on
the needle and draw this through the
place where the broken thread joins
the body of the lace. Having done
this, draw a succession of loop knots
over the floating thread very tightly
close to the base. Now follow with
the new thread the course that the old
thread has taken, and do the same
with the other loose end, knotting it Sc
curely close to the body lace. Cut
away the loose ends and the break is
no longer perceptible.
