Boy Scouts of American
SCOUTS AIDING HOOVER

A Scout who eats corn pone for
breakfast instead of slice of wheat
bread may have no idea of performing
patriotic duty, but upon just such
small choices depends the success of
the United States in the present strug
gle.
The president long ago recognized
the necessity Of producing the maxi
mum Of food, utilizing all of 1t to the
best advantage and preventing waste.
For this purpose he appointed Mr..
Herbert Hoover as American food adj
ministrator.
The housewife holds the key to the
situation. If each saves pound OF
bread a week for each person in the
family, we shall have 100000, 900 bush
els more of wheat this year for our
allies. A saving of two cents on each
meal every day for each person will
save to the nation for war purposes
S2,CO0OOO,OOO year. Every Scout
will be glad to help his mother and the
other women who are bearing their
share of the burden of war. Even
though he prefers toasted wheat bread,

the wheat for the allies.
Even though he likes meat, he will
eat his reduced portion cheerfully, re-
membering that beyond the seas are
Scouts who have not tasted meat for
months.
He will apply the butter more thin
ly and also learn to relish food which
contains the minimum of shortening.
He will ask for vegetables and fruits
grown in the home town, for these the
railroads do not have to carry.
He will put on his plate only that
which he is sure he can eat, and then
clean the plate.
He will help with the canning and
preserving, us well as the harvesting
With his troop he will cooperate
with the local women's organization
which are promoting the plans Of the
food administration.
Mr.. Hoover has sent this letter to
Chief Scout Executive James r. West
II particularly hope that the Boy
Scouts Of America will take a keen in
terest in the work Of the food admin

Whence Khaki Came.

1t appears that khaki has been in
use In the British army for more than
forty years. 1t was in use at the time
Of the Jowalki expedition In 1877. All
troops, British and native. engaged in
the Afghanistan war Of 187S-1SSO wore
khaki. Even the shoes were tan-col-
ored leather, sword belts and saber
scabbards were tan-colored leather,
helmets were covered with khaki <ov-
ers and pugrees. Buttons and buckles
were not polished. Khaki is a Hin
dustani word meaning crusty, earthly.

istration. I should like to have them
get behind me in my efforts to help
out in managing the food problems Of
the country.
II know that they have already as
sisted greatly in stimulating food pro-
duction.
ave are planning to ask all of the
homes in America to rearrange their
methods Of living so as to handle the
food, supply in the most intelligent
manner. The Boy Scouts can help
out in this by assisting in the enroll
ment of the women OF the country in
the food administration. Our plan is
to ask that pledge be signed and
that housecard, designed as United
States shield with few heads of
wheat about it, be put up IN the win
dow Of each home.
MANY homes will be difficult to
reach. If, as the campaign progresses,
the Boy Scouts can help us to see
where it Is not being carried on sue
cessfully we can arrange to have work
ers sent there, and in that way get
everybody possible interested.
"Where the Scouts are well organ
lied we hope that they can make a
check for us of the homes that are
members and those that are not, to
assist us in this work.
another way in which the Boy
Scouts can help is by making study
Of our plans as they appear, and in
trying to see that they themselves, as
well as members of their family, live
up to them.
1--WE hope that the scouts will follow
the gospel Of the clean plate to see
that they are helped literally enough
to meet all of their needs, but that
they do not waste.
1--WE want the Scouts to protect the
wheat of the country by eating mini
mum Of white bread"
That last is laying 1t rather heavily
on the scouts. Giving up wheat bread
isn't In itself such a hardship, but
when one considers that the slice of
bread Is mainly used as background
for jam or honey, or even the humble
molasses. then the duty becomes a sac
rifice indeed.
