HELPFUL / ADVICE IS
GIVEN At Meeting.
Interesting Meeting Of Webster City
Unit of Council Of National
Defense.

woman's committee of the Council
of National Defense held their sec
ond meeting in the club room OF
Kendall Young library Friday after
noon. About twenty-five ladies were
in attendance. The meeting was
called to order by the county chair
man, Mrs. Alexander Groves, and
DR.. Effie McCullom Jones OF the
Universalist church led in prayer.
After the secretarys report and
roll call, Mrs. Ella Burleson gave a
splendid review of an interesting ar
ticle which appears in the Septem-
ber number of the Woman's Home
Companion. This article, entitled,
What Must l Do?" was prepared
in the office of the United States
food administration and was approx
ed by Herbert Hoover. In main, 1T
is an answer to the three questions:
How can l nourish my family with
out depicting the supply of scarce
food? Should l buy supplies ahead?
What IS true food economy?
This article is well worth the
study of every woman. One thing
shown clearly is the fact that wheat
is very scarce and must be used
sparingly and never wasted. Wheat
flour and wheat bread are the only
flour and bread which will remain
sweet and free from mold when sent
across the ocean to feed our soldiers
and our allies.
Mrs. F. e. Whitley, the state Or
ganiZer for this movement in Iowa,
followed Mrs. Burleson with very
interesting and practical talk in
which she emphasized the import
ance of following the plans laid out
for the woman's committee. The
plans are not what women thought
Of, but are the plans made by our
government, and in making these
plans the government has been guild
ed by the experience of our allies
In conclusion she spoke of the Hoov-
er food pledge and make plea for
every home keeper in the country to
sign it, A plan Of campaign to pre-
sent the pledge and secure signers
was outlined by Mrs. Groves. and
the following ladies as chairnien in
the various wards were named: Mrs.
T. B. Larrabee, First ward; Mrs.
John R. Kamrar, Second ward: Mrs.
]. G. Sullivan, Third ward; Mrs.
Jesse w. Mason, Fourth ward; Mrs.
C. Osmundson, Fifth ward.
These chairmen are to choose
their immediate helpers from the ad-
visory board and proceed to cam
vass of the city as soon as the
pledges arrive.
Mrs. Z. f. Snow, chairman of the
county organizing committee, was
unable to be present, but sent the
following report of ladies who will
lead in the campaign in their COM :
munity: Mrs e. J. Jarmin,, Blairs-
burg; Mrs. VIM. Anderson, Jewell;
Mrs. c. S. Kleckner, Stanhope; Mrs.
NJ. H. Brinton, Ellsworth: Mrs. S.
l.. Claybaugh, Kamrar; Mrs. w. P.
Bossenberger, Williams: Stratford
and Randall chairmen to be secured.
A great deal of enthusiasm was
created among those present in the
matter of food economy, particular
ly in the saving of wheat. This was
shown by Mrs. Whitley to be one of
the biggest things the American
women can do to help win the war.
1t is not the idea to make it mat
ter of individual economy in saving
wheat and other foods, but means
to help the world in the present
crisis.

RETAILERS OPPOSE

Merchants Association Acts

SEEKS PURELY TRADE EFFORT
Wants Other Organizations to
Adopt Its Own Program.

The Retail Merchants Association
is not willing to merge with the
Chamber Of Commerce and Board OF
Trade unless these two organizations
decide to work along lines that are
purely of a trade nature.
This was the sentiment expressed
in a resolution adopted by the assocfa-
ton last night in the Ebbitt Hotel.
The resolution, which was offered by
NJ. A. Leese, first vice president of the
organization, evoked considerable dis
cussion.
George Topham, Sol Herzog, and
others suggested that II be held up for
consideration at a special meeting.
Moritz Mayer. Secretary Charles ]. Co
Iumbus, and President r. P. Andrews
favored voting on the resolution,
which was adopted unanimously.

at would be impossible for the Re-

ton, because the Retail Merchants
Association is in itself the only trade

proceed continuously, but so far as
passenger services was concerned he

Time Tables of Routes.
BY the Southern Atlantic route to
North America the 200 miles of the
first stage-to the Azores via Portu-
gal-wouId be covered comfortably
in one day In ordinary circumstances,
and after a nights rest the second
days flight to st, Johns. Newfound-
land, would form another quite pos
sible daylight stage.
He proceeded to suggest time
tables Of the routes to and from
India. Starting from London at Z
a. m, and allowing for an hours
break at Marseilles, a machine should
reach Naples at p. m. The second
days run would end at Alexandria
at 5:45 p. m. the third days at Basra
at 5 D. m, and the fourth at Karachi
at. $3.50 p. m. Each morning the start
would be made at Z o'clock, and the
total distance covered would be 1880
miles, with actual flying time OF
thirty-nine hours and fifteen minutes.
Lord Montagu suggested a system
Of lighthouses for air pilots and re-
marked that two very recent develop
ments in wireless telegraphy also
would give the greatest assistance by
aiding pilots to discover the direction

SUGGESTS RULES
i FOR AIR TRAFFIC
Bnisher Would Assign Lev
els for Various Purposes.
ENFORCED BY NATIONS PACT
Routes, Time Tables, Regulations
for Pilots, Etc., Outlined.

LONDON, June 2l-Lord Montagu,
Of Beaulieu, in a eecture here made
striking proposalO for the regulation
of the great air traffic which he is
confident will be developed soon af-
ter the war. These regulations, he
said, would have to be strictly en-
forced by international agreements.
Under his scheme certain air levels
would be limited to certain classes
of traffic. The first 1000 feet should
be prohibited to all traffic except
that carried on by the owners of the
soil, while the lower attitudes should
be used only by machines with 81
fenced engines.
The lowest flying level would be
reserved for commercial airplanes on
the ground that they would have to
operate as cheaply as possible. Above
this would be the level for general
air traffic, also silenced; while from
5000 to 10000 feet would be the
stratum for the official airplanes OF
each nation. These would be used
by naval, military and civil forces
and by the necessary air policemen.
Highest Level InternatiOnRIiEed-
Above 10000 feet Lord Montagu
proposes that the levels should be in
ternationalized and free to all. pro-
vided that the pilots complied with
rules for meeting and overtaSing
one another, etc, and that their craft
had been passed as "airworthy."
Aircraft desiring to leave their own
levels would use their wireless to
ask permission from the national or
international flying authorities.
The British Empire, he remarked,
was in a peculiarly favorable posi-
ton, for its widely separated pos
sessions would enable British airmen
to proceed around the world over
land and sea without asking a con-
Eession from any nation.
The lecturer said he thought the
average speed Of commercial flying
would probably not much exceed

service. as rapidly as he shows ability
he is promoted.
Men enlisted here for the aviation
service are sent to Pensacola, Fla
quartermasters for six months, ma
chinists' mates for three.
"Once a man Is qualified to fly, his
pay Is increased so per cent
statistics from the war zone show
that the life of an aviator Is longer
than that OF the soldier In the
trenches. Men who enlist a. machin-
lists mates are not expected to do any
flying. although many Of them take
up the air game later"

BOY SCOUTS HELP
RUNS INTO MILLIONS
Chief Reports to President on

President Wilson Is in receipt OF a
letter from Colin H. Livingstone,
president of the Boy Scouts of
America, in which the splendid sue
cess attained by the Boy Scouts
throughout the country In aiding the
Secretary of the Treasury to obtain
subscriptions for the Liberty loan is
told.
The letter sets forth the fact that a
grand total OF 126,437 subscriptions
from different individuals was Sc
cured, totaling $17,22S, 100. Aside
from this splendid monetary result,
it was pointed out, the wonderful les
son in patriotism taught by their ef-
