URGED AS A RECREATION
Life Extension Institute Also Out
lines Plans for Economics
in the House.

Many organizations which have taken
an active part in the home-garden move
ment now are turning their attention to
conservation of food in the household.
The Life Extension Institute of New
York, headed by Prof. Irving Fisher of
Yale, Gen. William c. Gorgas. L. S. A..
and William Howard Taft. today issued
bulletin containing advice on economy
for the housewife, and the admonition
to use all available land for food produce
ton. The suggestions follow:
Save all butter and keep it in jar.
1t will be sterilized if used for cooking.
Save cake for special desserts Keep
fresh in cake box.
"Reheat mullins. Keep bread for. toast
ing or cooking, pudding, etc. Toast for
serving with meat and eggs.
Keep meat for stew and made dishes
that can be rendered very appetizing by
using leftover vegetables Savory
dishes can be made of such left-overs.
Use coarse lettuce leaves for soup and
as green's; also radish tops. Keep milk
and cream for cooking. Have special
dishes and receptables for left-overs so
that order and system may cover this
phase of kitchen government A COM
post heap can be made of food remnants
that are not utilized as left-overS and
used in farm or garden for fertilizer.
Even with bountiful crops the special
demands of the war will make heavy
call on our resources. Now is the time
to map out what you are going to do in
the fundamental work of making avail
able the latent resources of the nation
For many miles around every city of

A vegetable garden may be the equal OF
a soldier as a war asset.
Consider your spring and summer

human history?

Possibilities

1t may be we won't use the gun
to shoot the sawdust from the
Hun. 1t may be that there will
be peace, that all the rioting will
cease, before we get ourselves in
shape to festoon Germany with
crepe. For this uncounted people
hope, though unsupported by the
dope, which indicates long, long
war ere Kaiser Bills accounted
for. And though we may not seek
the field, all loaded down with
sword and shield, we have a
mighty task to do-to send the
allies things to chew. They look
to us for corn and wheat, for
hams and yams and bread and
meat. IT'S ours to load our ships
with grain and send them DER the
raging main; and every time we
send a boat, we get another Ger
man goat. So let us get back to
the land, and raise string beans
to beat the band. And every time
we raise a hill we take fall from
Kaiser Bill. The towns are full
of idle gents who cannot fight
worth twenty cents, who shake
and sweat at wars alarms-they
should be drafted for the farms.
The loafer who sidesteps the foe
must do his bit with pillow or hoe.

DIRECTOR HOOVER TELLS
EDITORS OF FOOD CRISIS
Stability of Prices First Thing to
Be Undertaken by the

The food situation of this country
was presented by Herbert c. Hoover at
the meeting yesterday afternoon of
editors of the country's technical and
trade publications at the New Willard
Hotel.
The country. he sad. faces a war
that probably will last from two to five
years. and only by the most careful
measures can the United States give
the allies enough foodstuffs to keep
them in the war with the strength to
bring victory. He declared that food
high. and if they continue at the pres
ent level wage adjustments must como
or the workingmen cannot live.
The first thing for the food admins
tration to accomplish. Mr.. Hoover add
ed, is price stability, not only for this
country but for the allies. Fixing
maximum prices had failed abroad and
would fail here. he said. and the adj
ministration must seek to repair the
broken chain of distribution.
The governments attitude toward
la Dor was discussed by Secretary Will
son. Frank Scott. chairman of the gem
erai munitions board, told what the
board is doing. DIR. Franklin II. Martin
of the general medical board told of
sending physicians to England and
France. Howard Elliott of the general
railroad board said the railroads are

SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS
General Demand for Reappointment
of Ernest H. Daniel and Will
liam 7. Galliher.

disappointment of Ernest H. Daniel
and William T. Galliher. as members of
the board of education. is being urged
by many persons interested in the well
fare of the public schools of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The terms of Mr..
Daniel and MIR. Galliher, two of the
oldest members in point of service on
the board, and commonly regarded as
two of the strongest members of the
body, expire at the end Of the current
fiscal year.
Mr.. Daniel, who is vice president of
the board, is the oldest member on it In
point of service. having been appointed
nearly seven years ago. Mr.. Galliher is
the third oldest member in point of
service. having been named to fill the
unexpired term of James F. Oyster,
who resigned about four years ago
Mr.. Galliher served one year in filling
the unexpired term, being reappointed
for three years.
Mr.. Daniel several months ago sent
letter to the judges of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia. the
appointing power, asking that his name
not be considered for reappointment.
despite his letter NJ. Daniel would be
willing feeling it public duty to serve
If he were appointed for another term.
Mr.. Daniels position. they claim. was
taken merely to express to the court
his willingness to give way to another
candidate.
Both Mr.. Galliher and Mr.. Daniel
have done much toward the develop
ment of the public school system of
Washington during their incumbency.
Both men are progressive thinkers
are known for their forward look.
and yet have a sense of conservatism
which has proved valuable to the
schools on more than one occasion.
Many citizens associations have
placed themselves on record as favor
ing the reappointment of Mr.. Galliher
and Mr.. Daniel. Others are planning
to do so at their next meetings.

Carranza's Aim in Protest to Kaiser.

At the Mexican embassy it is said that
the fling of protest with, the German
government by President CarranZa
against the continuation of submarine
warfare is in strict accord with the
known sentiments of the recently in
augurated executive. and is also in line
with his proposal of several months
since that all American nations should
unite in some plan for bringing the
terrible conflict to an end. At the same
time it is expected to go far toward
convincing the people of the United
States that there is no foundation for
the sensational rumors that found cir

SHOWS WHERE DELIVERY
IS COST TO PURCHASER
W. M. Balderston of S. Kann, Sons
& Co. Says Savings Could Be Eff
fected by Carrying Packages.

Confident belief that buyers can effect
substantial saving without foregoing
any essential service by combining to
carry home small packa ges, in line with
suggestions made in The Star, was ex-
pressed today by w. NJ. Balderston of
S. kann. Sons & Co.
"Of the packages we send out at least
one-half are of a size and shape that
could be carried home conveniently
said Mr.. Balderston. I'VE are willing
to perform this service If the customer
desires it. Now, as always, we are
anxious to do anything that will add to
the convenience of buyers But to off,
set in any measure, the higher prices
that now prevail there must be Coop
Grafton between buyers and merchants.
Such cooperation we also stand ready
to extend"
AS an example of the added cost of
delivering a small package, Mr.. Balder-
ston cited the case of 50-cent bottle
of cologne, tracing its cost in delivery
as contrasted with that when the GUS
toner carries it home.

Course of a Fifty-cent Sale.

IF the customer takes this purchase
with her it goes to the wrapper, one of
:he lowest paid class of employees, and
it is wrapped and returned to the Gus
toner at cost of one-third of a cent.
IF the customer asks that it be de-

taken to a packing room, where it is
handled by man getting three times
placed in excelsior pads. wrapped in
heavier grade paper. with heavier

livery department. where a clerk must
then places it in bin, where the driver
of a delivery automobile gets 1t.
so far the operation has cost s or
cents. before the package leaves the
store. 1t then costs about cents more
to deliver it to the buyers home
Where the Cost Counts.
by this you see that it really costs
more to handle packages for delivery
mobile than 1t does to convey them
from store to home. The former cost
is one that sis too generally neglected
in estimating the expense of delivery"
Kann's automobiles make three trips
daily. The number of cars used could
be curtailed considerably If it were not
for the delivery of small packages
These often take more time to handle
and are more likely to get lost. than
larger articles. 1t is estimated that
between 40 and so per cent Of the
packages delivered are purchases of
less than 81. Therefore it may be seen,
in the case of these purchases. how
high the proportion of delivery cost to
purchase price may run.
Persons demanding special deliver
les add greatly to the expense of MAIN
tanning delivery systems. Such deliver
les. often of articles of small cost, en-
tail an expense of from 10 to 25 cents
In the case of messengers. used for
most of the special deliveries. salaries
and car tickets form the, basis of the
cost.
Some Are Very Small.
Many of the packages delivered daily
they are small enough to be slipped
into a pocketbook or into handbag
Some of the purchases frequently de-
livered which could easily be carried
include those in the jewelry, glove
handkerchief. neckwear. ribbon. hos
iery. lace. trimming, stationery and
notions departments.
Two factors in increasing cost of de-
livery systems, which must be paid
for by the consumer, are those of
wages and materials used for wrap
ping. Wrapping paper now costs about
three times as much as formerly, Irvine
nearly twice as much and pasteboard
boxes, extensively used for delivery
packages. have advanced from 25 to so
| per cent. Wages in stores. as in every
other business. have increased to keep
pace with the high cost of living.
