WORK TO BE DONE BY MR.. HOOVER
Galveston NewSl

tbdlNt~tbH ANtN~t
In complying with the presidents re-
quest that he serve as national food ad-
ministrator. Mr.. Hooveris accepting a po-
sition that is yet 10 sse<ereated by con-
gress. However, it Is pretty well assured
that the office will be created and that it
will have practically all the powers desired,
and the president has designated him for
the place in advance probably for the pur-
pose of e~xpediting the preliminary work
of organization.
Mr.. Hoover's function, as he himself has
outlined it, will he To see that our nation
al store of f~oodstuffs, whatever its guam
tity may be, shall be conserved and fairly
distributed. The first Of these tasks call
chiefly, and almost exclusively, for the en-
ployment of suasive forces. Economy is
to he e~njoined as q patriotic duty in the
handling and use of foodstuffs. II is no
less than the attempt to enshrine the vir-
tue of ~frugality in every Kitchen. That
would be a formidable task in ordinary cir
cumstanes. Wastefulness is well fixed
among Americans rs a habit, and j. some
what esteemed as one Of the outward signs
of affluence. Still. under the prodding Of
prices and the stimulus of patriotic APP
peal, it NAV not be altogether illusory TO
believe that. from the tuition of one so
skilled a Mr.. Hoover showed himself TO
be in Belgium, we might attain TO such pro-
ficiency in the arts of frugal feeding and
cooking as to metamorphose a prospective
deficiency in foodStuffs into an assured
surplus.
1t may sound like n mockery. after all
the dismal prophecies of famine hat have
been made, to suggest that the country may
find itself with an abundant surplus Of
foodstufrs at the end Of the year, and this,
too, after satisfying all the needs of our
allies. Nevertheless, that i possible, and
decidedly more probable than it Is that we
shall suffer n serious scarcity. With Sec
rotary Houston bestirring the farmers to
greater productive efforts and with Mr..
Hoover training a willing country in the
arts of frugality, the possibilities are rath
er large. The country has been reasoned
into the fear of a famine by contrasting
n normal consumption with a subnormal
production. BY that process one can prove
the certainty OF a famine lnfallIbly. But
the fault i in the premises rather than in
the process. Instead Of a subnormal, we
shall have an abnormal production, and
instead of a normal, we shall likely nave a
subnormal consumption. Either cause
without the other would make the 'visible"
deficiency invisible, and both working to-
gether can convert il into an assured sur
plus. This prospect, indeed, suggests As
good n reason as any that has been ad-
vanced for guaranteeing minimum prices.
With the government urging the farmers to
produce more while at the same time
teaches their consumers how to do with
less, one might easily conceive it to be I'M
der the obligation TO insure the farmers
against the consequences of the double
process.
But ope need not go beyond the bonn
dairy of that field Of speculation. IL is
enough TO stop with the proposition that

Brides of 35, 38 and even 40 are

is a serious handicap to motherhood
because of changes in the birth

AUTO TRUCKS COLLIDE.

That even two auto trucks cannot

night on. the Houston bridge, on the
Lexington pike near Paris.

rying twenty-five K. o. P.'s from Lex
ington to Cynthiana, met in head-on
collision at the bridge approach
Both we're badly damaged, front axles
and wheels being torn from each ma
chine. Luckily no one was hurt, Du'
a severe shaking up was given the
Knights. The latter were taken tc

finally removed and sent to Lexington
for repairs.
