A Democratic Food Control.


This Is the excellent program that
Mr.. Hoover has laid out. IL 1t succeeds
1t means that we viii have truly
democratic food control. every house
wife being her own food dictator. If II
fails we win undoubtedly have the au-
tocratic food Dictatorship of Germany.
with Its bread cards and prescribed
daily rations.
But how can this Hoover program
succeed II IN so many households the
housewife Is obliged to work her food
economies through the servant slack.
er? Here is an opportunity to render
q real service to the country. Let wo
men form an organization that will ex-
act from the servant the efficient serv.
ice that man exacts from the workers
in the outside industrial world. Let
us standardizc wages. and let us estab-
fish scale OF wages.
''In the business world men pay q
comparatively small wage to the be
ginner or apprentice. and thence the
wage ranges up to that OF the master
mechanic. But IN the servant market
n cooks a cook. Unless one Is employ
ing the higher class Of chef there are
no degrees Of proficiency recognized In
wages demanded. II $40 a month Is
the current wage for a good cook the
beginner demands and gets the same.
.'In the business world, no matter
how big or wealthy the corporation
wastefulness Is not permitted. The
efficiency expert Is an accepted institu-
ton. This same spirit should be car
ried into household work. Discipline
and the guiding intelligence should pre-.
vail in the kitchen and pantry just al
they do In the workshop and Office.
If the servant should revolt against
this new order Of things. as many OF
them unfortunately would, and In con
sequence quit their employment or be
discharged, no recommendation should
be given. and the organization that
suggest should pledge its members moi
10 employ any servant who has not q
recommendation.

antless homes for time. But isn't the
pressing need Of the hour sufficient Il
make the women meet this situation
In serving their country they would bt

Industry for some time now has
been warned that 1t must get itseli

 Major Beith illustrates his talk with pictures which he has taken and which have never before been shown. He was assisted on every side by the British foreign office, under whose auspices he is appearing in this coun- try and his statements bear an official stamp. One of the interesting phases or his investigation was the tracing to their source of a number of stories that have been given credence. both by the British and American public, former lecture. he will lay emphasis on the human side and true to his Scotch sense of humor, will relate many amusing anecdotes and mirth provoking happenings such as take away some of the grfmness of war, fo those who have the wit to discover them
