RED CROSS needles
BUSY With PAJAAAS
Sleeping Garments for Soldiers in
Hospitals Are Being Rushed.

.Fashioning of pajamas and nighties
is occupying most OF the attention OF
auxiliaries of the District Red Cross.
Thousands of these garments are
needed in war hospitals and the
needles OF many women and girls are
flying in the making Of them.
Twenty-Five girls Of the National
Geographic Society have taken up
the work at the Hubbard Memorial
under the direction OF Miss Josephine
Stewart
Most OF the auXiliaries in the city
have been turning out the garments
for some time. The cloth is furnish
ed by the Red Cross, and cotton and
other minor necessities are provided
by the workers.
1t has been suggested that cloth Of
varied hues be supplied. as many OF
the chic young damsels sewing for
the soldiers have suggested how much
nicer "a pair Of light blue ones"
would look. while others have clothed
their ideal wounded soldier in mice,
soft pair Of lavender ones"

"GRAPE JUICE"
FLAVOR IN D. C.
Nebraskan Tells Dry Mass
Meeting Liquor Traffic
Is Doomed.

''The National Capital has more OF
the grape juice flavor than any other
city in America"
William Jennings Bryan, prohibition
champion, paid this tribute to WASH
ington when he addressed more than
5000 persons at a dry mass meeting
in Polls Theater yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was under the manage
ment of the Anti-Saloon League. Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels presided.
There was a time" Mr.. Bryan re-
marked, when grape juice was not
at all popular, but, thank God 1t Is
coming into its own and bringing the
streamers of purity behind it. 1t is In
this spirit that say that this city
has more the flavor Of grape juice
than any other city in the United
States"
Talks to Overflow.
So great were the crowds which
thronged to hear the famed orator
that he was compelled to hold an
overflow meeting on the south front
steps OF the treasury.
There Is so much in common about
beer and whiskey," Mr.. Bryan con-
tinued, that the two should be treat
ed in the same manner.
After a man graduates from the
beer kindergarten he enters the whis-
key university, and since they are
such close friends 1t would be a poor
policy to separate them. 1t is there.
fore better to let them die together
and be buried in the same grave"
Mr.. Bryan told his audience that so
long as a liquor man is in authority
no man will be considered drunk IL he
is able to get up after he falls down.
Quotes Lloyd George.
Directing his attention seriously to
the liquor question, Mr.. Bryan quot
ed Lloyd George as saying that the
producing power of 10000 men was
lost In England every day by energy
and efficiency wasted through the con-
sumption of liquor. He also declared
that, In addition to taking bread from
the mouths of children in peace time,
the drink traffic weakens our military
forces by decreasing the indispensable
supply of grain.
When he lauded the work Of Sec
retary Daniels to Danish intoxicants
from the navy. the audience applaud
ed heartily.
Mr.. Bryan expressed a hope that by
1890 the two great political parties
will be compelled to make national
prohibition a part of their platform.
He concluded with the remark that
the liquor traffic is soon to be entire
ly abolished and never again to be re-
surrected.

The writer selected Il2 institutions

attention TO the growing Importance
OF the study not only of Spanish and
Portuguese, but of the languages and
customs of the people of Russia,
Japan and China, with whom the
United States is coming increasingly
in contact.
Only five out of 1l2 leading institu-

guage only one out of 112 offers in
struction in single half-year course

part:
There are some 100000 people to
the south Of us whose official Ian
guage is Spanish. These people are
our neighbors and friends. Our rela-
tions with them are OF the greatest
Importance, whether commercial or
of other character. Some ninety-seven
Of the 112 institutions selected provide
for instruction in Spanish, but the
aggregate number of hours provided
for is less than one-third the number
provided for in German"
Americans are known the world

proper readjustment OF provisions for
foreign language instruction. with
obvious and necessary reforms, will
prove an important step"
The Washington herald., 1917-11-12

Based on the extensive investiga-
tions by the representatives of the
Federal Trade Commission, the Food
Administration, and the Department
of Agriculture. the Food Administra-
ton has determined upon the stand
ardization of the bakers bread in the
country, and the President will to-
morrow issue a proclamation to that
end.
The bread of the United States Is
approximately 40 per cent baked in
bakeries, and 60 PER cent in the homes.
The object of Standardization is to
reduce the cost of public baking and
distributing bread. to reduce the
waste of flour. and to limit the use
of sugar and lard in the preparation
OF bakery bread.
By fixing the weight of bread at l
pound minimum loaf. with 1-2 pound.
2 and pound loaves. and with n
stabilized price of flour. the present
variables in bread will be largely
eliminated and competition will be
centralized upon price.
The administration has no power to
fix the price. There are grocery
stores in many cities whose whole
business is conducted upon basis
where the consumer pays cash ana
carries the goods home and who con-
duct their own bakeries. 1t Is antici-
pated that a standard one-pound loaf
Of baked bread can Be put before the
public from these groceries at about
: cents. The Other type of grocers
doing business upon a credit and de-
livery basis must charge more.
Bread Is Destroyed.
Competitive conditions have built
up number of practices In bread
which can be limited to the advant-
age Of the industry and the public.
The Food Administration and the
commercial economy committee of the
Council of National Defense has al
ready requested the bakers of the
country to refuse the acceptance of
returned bread. and this will now
be made a legal regulation.
The Investigations show that a
large portion of returned stale bread
was actually destroyed. and that the
upwards of 5000 barrels per annum.
The regulation that bakers shall not
accept the return of bread will force
the retailers and public to watch
their purchases more carefully.
Price of English bread Is now 4 Il
cents per pound "cash and carry"
This bread contains % per cent of
other cereals or potatoes. and further
more it is subordized by the govern
ment. an appropriation OF s200, ,OO0, coo
having been made to finance the
operation.

How long will the war have TO con-
tinue before the automobile gives an
Imitation of the dodo and becomes eN-
tinct?
That, in the effect. Is the question
that most Of the nations motor
makers were asking themselves yes
terday at the end Of a weeks session
with Representatives Of the Council Of
National Defense. Their general an
! swer. as far as they can frame II un-
der chaotic war conditions. is that the
country will have to worry along with
only a comparatively few additions 10
the $4,000 machines IL now owns.
The Council Of National Defense is
asking many auto factories TO devote
their energies TO making war trucks
and aeroplane parts. il has announced
that it will. il need be. commander

announced that its action will. in the
end, curtail auto production by 50 per
cent Ultimately, IL Is believed. the
production Of pleasure cars will be en-
tirely discontinued.
Reasons for this belief. which are
numerous, may be summed up in the
one phrase-war needs. In the first
place, all the steel the country can
produce must be turned into guns.
ships. war trucks. tanks. etc. There
will not only not be enough TO make
new cars, but with each succeeding
week the production Of spare auto
] parts is decreasing. In a few months
1t will be practically impossible 20 OBJ
tain new parts to repair breaks.
Even IL steel were available. the
auto makers could not get coal 10
run their factories. because only es-
/ sential manufactures will receive

And again, even IL the auto makers
| could get both steel and coal. they
would not be able to get railway cars
in which to ship them.
Wise auto manufacturers. therefore,
are now scrambling TO obtain govern
ment contracts for aeroplane or mo-
tor truck engines. or aeroplane and
truck parts. Toledo, Detroit and In

dUce 80 per cent OF the pleasure cars
used in the United States are even
now turning sharply TO government
business, practically abandoning

The 4.2J0,Oo0 auto owners in the couns

higher priced gasoline. British and
American naval demands for oil have
hit the American and Mexican mar

are also tremendous Tires are al
most gone from Europe. because the
governments need all the rubber they
can ship for war uses.
Auto makers went home from their
conferences here this week, prepared
TO cooperate with the government to
the utmost. Prediction has been made
here during the week. that one more
