PLAN HAS APPROVAL
Of FOOD DIRECTOR
Aims and Methods of Liberty
War Kitchen Commended
by c. R. Wilson.

The "liberty war Kitchen recently
established at 1910 K street to teach
housewives to prepare palatable and
nourishing menus. which also wouio
conserve the foods needed to win the

ment Of Clarence r. Wilson. food ad-
ministrator for the District OF Colum-
bia.
Mr. Wilson's commendation Of the
work the kitchen IL doing was made In
a speech before a group Of Washington
women in the auditorium Of Woodward
& Lothrops department store yester-
day afternoon. where demonstrations
and exhibits are to be given every
Thursday afternoon this month by the

WOULD HOUSE WORKMEN
ON EXCURSION STEAMERS
Government Has Under Considera-
ton Plan Advanced by Charles
w. Morse.

Plans advanced by Charles W. Morse
to utilize excursion steamers for hous-
ing surplus workmen at coast ship
yards during the winter are under con-
sideration by tho National Defense
Council and tho shipping board.
Inability to provide housing facili-
ties in small towns where existing
plants were enlarged and new ones
have grown up since the war began
has seriously hindered the govern
ment's immense shipbuilding program
because sufficient workmen will not go
to the plants in the absence Of proper
living quarters
Mr.. Morse has several excursion
steamers on the Hudson river that will
be laid up for the winter. and he sug-
gested that the government take over
them and others as temporary solu-
tion Of tho housing problem. He point
ed out that the larger steamers could
accommodate from 500 to 600 men, and
that meals could be served aboard the
| vessels, which, II deemed advisable
] could be moored right in the yards.
| This proposal would give the gov.
ernment time. It was claimed, to carry
out permanent housing plans now be-
ing worked out by the Council Of Ma.
tional Defense.

Wilson in his address. TO do this
we must conflne ourselves largely to

Omcers' Club Fine Institution.

Another thing. we shall take back
record OF the innumerable evidences we
have seen of the eagerness OF the vast
majority of the British people to live In
harmonious political and social fellow
ship with their American kindred. In
testimony Of this feeling We have not only
beautiful words and beautiful acts, but
established institutions These will not
attempt to enunerate--I could not-but
will refer to one, the American Officers
Club, the child Of the British pilgrims.
It Is a magnificent club and its atmos-
phere is charged with frtendliness to
America. We have been there. inspected
its splendid rooms, observed the excel
lence Of all it's features and sampled its
hospitality. 1t will make a deep and pro-
pitious impression on our officers in this
huge city and its reflex will reach the
farthest part OF the United States. Our
acquaintance with its chairman. Harry
Britain, who is known in America almost
as we'll as here. leaves no doubt in our
minds that the magnificent club Is in
the proper hands.
Moreover, we have every reason to
believe that our private soldiers coming
to London will not want for sympathetic
interest in their welfare. Britons and
Americans, we hear, are vigorously CO.
operating in this matter. giving an equally
warm welcome to every soldier Of the
British and American armies and their
allies"

rebuttafs won their debate.

tween the Quaker and Methorist girls
developed into warm discussion, and
was also on in which the issue, upon
the. question of compulsory military
training for students in universities

not the place for military instruction
and that the two years of training
offered by a school or university were
rot adequate, and therefore not practi-
cal. The decision was two to one

Dates without number were made fol
Sunday evening. M-mm-m-mmm-my
wasn't it great! ~" '''a .f''
No more fitting ceremonies could
have dedicated the large attractive
room. OF course the matron was
there-but then, matrons don't al
ways see everything 'rfra1,'' =
From now on all roads lead to thu
dormitory, rather than to the centra
entrance of the main college build
ing. "Fussers'' from college and from
town will climb little farther up the
Gibbs HILL just to be near that lovely
place.
And how changed the place will
seem. Instead of barren building
four cottages filled with smiling
faces and winsome maids will turr
every hour into sunshine. Windows
will frame sweet faces and curly
heads.
Penn will enjoy more visitors than
usual. Something more than new
college buildings henceforth will at
tract people from town.
