less breakfasts and the use of less su-
gar and animal fats are called for in
4 revised conservation program which
Timothy A. Riordan as federal food ad-
ministrator for Arizona is asked to
make effective in this state, according
TO an announcement made today.
The food situation has reached a
point where il has become tragically
serious, it is pointed out by the food
administration, and hunger may I'M
peril a conclusive victory for the al
lied armies if the American people do
not exert their utmost effort at this
time, and it is for this reason that
steps have been taken 20 make more
thoroughly effective than ever before
the family enrolment plan. through
which already some $4,000 signatures
to pledge cards have been obtained in
this state.
Two objects are sought: First. the
increasing of the Arizona membership
in the food administration to 10000,
and second, the carrying out in every
home, by every citizen. by every ho-
tel. restaurant, boarding house and
iunchstand keeper in the state OF the
revised food program which calls for
the following:
1-Meatless Tuesday.
2-Meatless Friday.
S-Baconless breakfasts every day
4-WheatleSs Wednesday.
6-The use of less sugar.
THE use of less animal fats.
The pledge card campaign organiza-
ton. headed by Warren Macarthur Jr.
of Phoenix, has been made permanent
for the purpose OF carrying on this
work. and one of its earliest duties
will be to attend to the distribution
Of supplemental instruction cards in
every home and of primary instruction
and additional home window cards to
the 10000 new members OF the food
administration. which it Is Hoped TO
secure in the immediate future.
Every county manager and all coun'
" and precinct workers who aided in
the initial campaign are expected TO
take up their work where they left

New inspiration to the workers is
contained in Mr.. Hoover's letter,
| which reads as follows:
Dear Mr.. Riordsn:
Now that the recent family enroll
ment campaign is practically complet-
ed with a result far exceeding my ex-
pectations, | wish to eNJeEd 10 you
and through you to the many workers
in your state my personal apprecia-
ton OF the spirit with which the cam
paign was waged.
With the home and membership
cards now hanging in well over 10000
homes. 4 foundation for food conser-
walton has been laid which should
prove of great influence in the final
result of tie war. The work already
done so successfully should be an in
spiration for the further spreading OF
the gospel of food conservation, and
I trust that through you the people oi
your state will be brought TO a more
complete realization Of the necessity
for conservation even ~ the extent

with renewed thanks for the work
which you and your loyal assistants
performed in the recent campaign
and with hopes that this work will
be continued Tor the duration OF the
war. with ever increasing efficiency
and enthusiasm. am faithfully yours

'URGESU.S. CONTROL

Federal Trade Commission
Says Producers Show De-
!, fiant Attitude.
REPORT FILED IN SENATE

Government operation of the print
paper and pulp Industries during the
war is recommended in a report ar
raigning what it calls the defiant at
titude of print paper producers, filed
by the Senate printing committee. The
report will await action at the De-
cember session.
The report says the Federal Trade
Commissions findings show beyond any
question that the print paper industry,
in its greed for excessive profits, has
imposed a most unjust burden on the
American press. which faces serious
disaster if relief cannot speedily be
had from the oppressive prices now ex-
acted for print paper"
II adds that the commission in its
recent investigation exhausted every
resource at its command to obtain re-
lief for the publishers, but has been
able to get only small measure of re-
lief, owing to the defiant attitude as
sumed by the principal producers of
print paper and lack of authority of
the commission TO enforce its findings

ANT|-ACC|DENT CAMPAIGN
IS TO Be RESUMED HERE
Announcement by Maj. Pullman,
After Studying Traffic Accidents
in New York.

That traffic accidents are causing two
deaths day in New York on an average.
a rate more or less reflected In the rec
ords of other cities, which he attributes
to increasing carelessness on the part of
the public. was the statement today Of
Maj. Pullman. superintendent of police,
on his return from a trip to the metropo-
lis.
After observing conditions in New
York, Maj. Pullman is more convinced
than ever that solution Of the problem
of reducing accidents there, in Washing
ton and in other cities lies in impressing
the people with the Importance of exer-
cising greater care in crossing streets.
He stated today that he did not see
any need of materially revising the Dis
trict's traffic regulations. but that the po-
lice department shortly will resume its
anti-accident campaign, which it con-
Quoted in the public schools year before
last. Policemen will take the role of in
structors and motion pictures will be
used in educating school children in
safety-first methods.
The impression gained by Maj Pull
man from observing conditions in New
York is that people appear to be more
occupied with their thoughts when
they cross the streets than formerly.
This he attributes to increased business
activity caused by war conditions. Bust
ness expansion has created a demand
for drivers and chauffeurs to such an
extent that inexperienced men have
been employed, and this, in the opinion
of Maj. Pullman. is another factor that
figures in the responsibility for the in
crease In street accidents.
Maj. Pullman is convinced that if
people can be taught to think before
they cross streets accidents will be re-
duced TO a minimum. The best traffic
regulations that can be devised won't
prevent accidents, he pointed out. I'M
less the public acquires the thinking
habit and co-operates in making the
regulations a success.
