BAN ON BANQUETS

As a new phase of conservation, Governor Whitman, of New York, has announced that he will not attend public dinners or banquets for the duration of the war. He believes that the least the stay-at-hOmes can do IS to deny themselves unnecessary plea sures. It is to be hoped that Cover nor Whitman's example will not be- come nationally contagious.
 Banquets have developed into such a universal feature of American busi- ness and social life that the thought of abandoning them can not be enter tained without resentment. The plea sures associated with them are, so to speak, a permanent part of the joy of life. Think of the exquisite delight for the tired business man coming home, donning his evening suit, re- turning down town, and waiting an hour and a half to work up an appe- tite for the cold soup which forms the initial course of the big feed, and the other more or less delectable viands

MILK AND MEAT
 MOST N EIDE D
 BY THE HUNS

MISSOULA, Mont, Dec. 8. - Mountains of potatoes will not save Kaiserism if butter and oils are lack ing. The greatest corn crop in the world would do the Germans no good if they have no milk and meat.
 These statements were made in a recent lecture here by Dr. w. G, Bateman, assistant professor of phys iological chemistry at the University of Montana.
 "Fueled foods are absolutely essen tial to the human system" Dr. Bate man declared. "These foods are pro- teins, fats and carbohydrates such as starch and sugar. Fats, including vegetable oils, are getting extremely scarce in Germany,

EDISON SUGGESTS USING SAILING VESSELS AS
 STEAMERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. -Conver- sion of more than million tons of American sailing vessels into steam ships was proposed to the shipping board today by Thosam A. Edison.
 Although the placing of engines and coal bunkers in the ships would cut down their cargo space the super for speed attained would more than make up for the difference, in the opinion of Mir. Edison.
 There are under American registry more than 5000 sailing vessels of considerably more than 100000 ton- nage. The government also will have under its control some 10000 tons of sailing ships turned over by the French government
 Henry Ford's automobile plant at Detroit, now largely engaged in the manufacture of airplane cylinders, is about to begin also the production of sbip's fittings. Mir Ford called on the shipping board today and arranged to turn out for the government small parts which his plant can produce in large quantities.

SHORTAGE OF SMALL
 COINS AND HOW
 TO HELP SITUATION

WASHINGTON, Dec 9. - Because of a threatening severe shortage ot cents, dimes and other small coins, Raymond T. Baker, director of the mint. appeals to persons who collect small coins as a savings hobby to eX- change them for currency of larger denominations to relieve the shortage. War revenue taxes have caused such an enlarged demand for pennies that hints hereafter will work Sundays in addition to days and nights, as at present.

FIGHTING THE ENEMY WITHIN

The Enemies within are not all per sonal. We recognize that as a peo- pie in the splendid fight for food con- seryation that is being waged. The great American appetite is the chief of the impersonal enemies and the great American people under the able suggestion, counsel and djrec- ton of Mr. Hoover are doing things to it that even year ago one would not have thought possible.
 The fine fact is the readiness with which the people have recognized this enemy and proceeded yo deal with it. It is the manifestation of a national self-deuial not Immediately enforced by inflexible and inex0rabIe conditions as in war ridden lands where the means of sustaining life are not to be had or are but scantily supplied. We are fighting this en- emy in a land of plenty, that those who live in the lands of Have Not may have. The war We wage is of mixed patriotism and altrujsm; and each in this national manifestation is of high type.
