A VAST amount of official
brains, energy, literature and
time is still being put into the
campaign to impress upon
the American people the ne
cessity OF being economical in
order that we may spare most
of our wheat for export to
Europe where it is said to be
greatly needed by our allies
and the starving refugees.
Yet here is Uncle Joseph G..
Cannon, who has served
more terms in congress than
any other congressman, de-
claring that if the people of
Europe would eat corn in all
the ways it can be prepared,
Illinois and two other states
could raise all the corn that
Europe could consume and
there would be no need to
worry about a wheat short
age. But the people of
Europe will not eat corn.
Efforts to teach them in the
art have proven unavailing,
yet corn is said by the ex-
perts to be as valuable and
nutritious a food as the grains
that are more extensively
used and not so expensive.
The American farmers in the
corn belt could raise a great
deal more corn if there was a
greater market for it.

ciaD.-Following a running debate of
three days the Senate at P. NJ to-
day adopted an additional section to
Chapter of the espionage bill which
prohibits the export of tin plate and tin
containers from the country. This sec
ton was offered by Senator Fernald of
Maine and fought for it in running
battle on the Senate floor in which he
had to meet among others. in argu-
ment. Senators Lodge Of Massachu-
sets, Reed of Missouri and Borah of
Idaho. The vote by which the addition
al section was adopted was SIS to II
and is regarded as great victory for
the senator from Maine. The final
passage Of the espionage bill with this
section will assure an ample supply of
cans for the canneries of Maine and
other states this year and enable to a
great extent the overcoming of the TO-
100000 a day shortage in the produc-
ton of cans which has existed in the
country for weeks past.
The administration also suffered a
defeat in the Senate. An export en-
largo amendment about which the
fight in the Senate has centered, was

ion to empower the President to re-
strict exports in specific cases when

The principal feature of the after
noon session was the address of Mrs.
Deborah Knox Livingstone on "Our
Opportunity" The close attention
given her words and the frequent ap-
plause accorded the speaker showed
how much her address was appreciated

ulated on the success Of their efforts
during the past year and this splendid
gathering at the close Of their term.
The general trend of thought seemed
to be toward devoting more time to
welfare work and less time to the
more distinctly literary side of club
work, owing to the present demand for
work Of women along utility and con-
servation lines.
