MAY slEZE ENTIRE WHEAT CROP
The food administration announced
tonight its plan for controlling wheat,
flour, and bread, revealing that the gov
eminent is prepared to take over the
whole 1917 wheat harvest if necessary
to conserve the supply, obtain just
prices for America S fighting forces and
their allies and reduce costs to the gen
eral public
Establishing Of buying agencies at all
the principal terminals, licensing of ele-
vators and mills, fixing of price to be
regarded as fair, regulation of the mid
dleman and of grain exchanges, with
the elimination of trading in futures,
are the chief features Of the pan. The
licensing will begin September |.
The minimum price of 81 for wheat
fixed by Congress does not become eff
tective until next year, but the admin
istration proposes to exercise a
thorough contro over this years crop
through powers conferred under the
food and export control bills.

Germans Take Pictures Showing Sol
diers Distributing Bread Among
Hungry PopuIaoe.

That seeing Is not necessarily believ.
ing, where a motion picture Gamers is
employed for purposes Of influencing
public opinion, is shown by an article
in the Princeton Alumni, describing q
visit to a Belgian village, occupied by
German troops. The correspondent
writes:,
In the middle Of the scene was a
little line Of ragged Belgian men, wom-
en- and children. They had been gath
cred from the nearby streets. They
seemed much frightened. Appeared a
dozen underofficers and privates car
rying loaves Of bread. These they
thrust into the hands of the people in
the line, while in q corner the clicking
camera recorded the touching scene, to
be shown in Germany and Austria and
in neutral countries throughout the
world, Of "Kind-Hearted Prussians
Feeding the Belgian Populace."
That was what tbs camera showed.
But what it did not show were the
fields of Kansas and Manitoba, or the
ships Of the American commission that
had brought the wheat that had been
converted into the -four from which
those loaves e made, or the Amer
lean dollar sign indicating who had
paid for the loaves, or even the Bel
gian agents to whom the distribution
was the morning and evening work.
That day these agents had been thrust
aside and their bread taken from
them. ION this OCCASION" they were
told, 'our soldiers will perform your
task. You can leave the leaves and
go home" I thought I had a story to
tell. I was disappointed when my de-
scription fell rather flat. I'VE have
heard all about it before" men in
formed me. ''That comedy Is being
staged from time to time all yer Bel

lures, but we wish they would leave
bread alone"

japan RAISING Medicinal Herbs.

Prices Of all medicines have in
creased to such a degree In Japan
since the outbreak Of the war that
the japanese Medical Investigation
association has undertaken, with the
aid Of the department Of home at
fairs, to stimulate the growth OF
medicinal herbs of all kinds, and at
the same time to prevent the expor-
tation Of all medicines from the coun
try. The Hochi Of Tokyo regrets that
Japan still has to import medicinal
herbs to manufacture It's medicines.
Many varieties of these herbs are cub
tivated in Japan, but the government
has not especially encouraged the In
dustry. An experimental station was
established in Tokyo about 1888, many
Of the plants being brought from Ger
many, but the station was abandoned
In 1889. The Hochi argues that japan
can and should produce most Of her
own medicines.

IDEA IS ACCEPTED
Adoption Of Standard Styles Hao
Been Most Marked Effect Of War
Upon Dress In England.

There has never been a time when
women were more willing to accept
standard dress or uniforms than they
are at present. That is the most
marked effect of the war upon wom-
ems dress, says a London correspond
ent. All uniforms have acquired dig
nifty In women's eyes. The housemaid
does not object to the cap and apron
badge Of servitude, the worker in the
bank dons an overall cheerfully, wom-
en- in various organizations wear their
khaki, and the Red Cross and vol
unteer aid workers are proud Of their
uniforms.
An expert French designer, discuss
ing those changes, says: 'There al
ways will be the women who want
fripperies, the women who try to in
sist upon something quite different
from the style of the moment, but
nowadays their number is greatly dim
inished. The uniform idea has ar
rived. It may mean the total extinc-
ton Of dressmaking as q creative art,
but there will be developments ON
other lines.
There has never been q great war
which has not Influenced fashion In q
picturesque or sven grews6me fash
ion, and this world war has done its
share. We had a fashion adapted as
q compliment to each ally, the Rus
sian caps and tunics, the Bersaglieri
hats Of the Italian soldiers, and the
Serbian colors. Scotch plaids have
given the Parisiennes great Joy.
"Khaki shades are in vogue for
spring and summer costumes, and the
b%lue-gray, with touches of crimson of
the French uniforms, Is seen here and
there"
