on Monday by introducing and speak
ing in behalf of an amendment to the
Lever bill. which, gives $2,50o,Oo0 for
food conservation and increased pro-
duction. The amendment was % words
long and directed that the Secretary
of agriculture employ women workers
as far as possible for the tasks Of con
serving food, eliminating waste and
adding to crops.
What Miss Rankin had to say on
the subject was brief and sensible.
She made the point that women must
learn to think of food in carload lots
In transit, in storage in the board OF
trade and in tbs national market as
well as in the small portion on the
family table, She was entirely right
in saying that education has given US

this sort of national service
The house cheered its woman mem
Der, Representative Lever declared
that both chivafry and good Judgment
required acceptance of the amend
