STANDARD OPERATION
RED CROSS OBJECT
Miss Mabel Boardman Outlines Plan to
Educate Unframed Women.

Plans under which women of America
who are not trained professionally can
assist the American Red Cross, were dis
cussed at a conference OF prominent
woman Red Cross workers, representing
different parts of the country, at the
Red Cross headquarters yesterday.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman outlined many
ways in which women can help as no
one else can In the relief OF the wounded
and suffering and in preserving families
and upholding standards of the home
through disrupting times OF war.
Washington was presented as an ideal
example of how women in various walks
of lift are bending their efforts In many
ways to provide comforts and care. not
only for fighting men, but for their fami-
lies at home.
The problem of standardizing Red Cross
supplies to be made by women of the
country, who are volunteering their
services in chapters and auxiliaries
throughout the United States, was one
of the main topics OF discussion. Yes
terday's conference was to establish
standards in the making of bandages,
hospital clothing. etc, so that every
Red Cross hospital in the field. whether
here or abroad, will receive the same
kind Of hospital supplies from the volun-
teer women workers of America

FEDERAL FOOD CONTROL
aim OF THE lever BILL
Drastic Measures to Prevent Hoarding
Provided IN House Measure.

Federal control Of the national food
supply for the period OF the war is
provided in bill introduced in the House
yesterday by Chairman Lever, of the
Committee on Agriculture. Its purposes,
as outlined by Mr.. Lewis in a statement
given the press last night, are as fol-
lows:
ITO stimulate production. to reduce
waste. to clear the channels of distri-
button, to prevent boarding, to assure
fair prices, to eliminate Injurious specu-
lation. to prohibit evil practices on ex-
changes, and to protect the public against
extortion-'
The bill Is framed with a view to
carrying out the constitutional prerog-
atives OF the executive branch of the
government in time OF war and 1t not a
measure based upon the Federal right
to control interstate commerce but the
constitutional guarantees for the safety
Of the whole people. State rights have
no place In either its form or applica-
tion--
That war will disturb the normal
courses OF trade, Chairman Lever ad-
mits, and. upon this certainty he bases
the chief need foe direct and suthorita-
tive Federal regulation. The bill grants
the widest authority.
One OF the most important powers con-
ferred by the measure Is that framed
TO catch the hoarders OF foodstuffs. In
this respect the measure Is exceedingly
drastic.
The Lever food census bill which will
authorize the Secretary of Agriculture
to take a food census Of the country
giving practically autocratic control over
the distribution, transportation and sale
OF the prime necessities Of life, was or
dered favorably reported by the Commit
tee on agriculture late yesterday.
