PENINSULA HOTELS

Newport News. Va, Aug. 20
Hotel men of Newport News have
agreed to stand squarely behind Food
Commissioner Herbert Hoover in the
conservation of food. have endorsed
and agreed to furnish fifteen cooks
to the government TO act as instruc-
tors in the Petersburg training camp.
!, NJ Derr, assistant manager of
the Warwick hotel. today stated that
practically every hotel and restaurant
in the city will cease serving veal and
observe one meatless day a week as
soon as instructions are received from
Mr. Hoover.
F. The ''huy-a-calf' movement means
the conservation OF the veal. Farmers
sell calves because they realize more
on the initial investment than they
would II they kept tho calf until 1t
was old enough to kill for beef If
the merchant or hotel man buys a
calf for $40 he will have to pay at
least $50 TO raise it. He can sell the
beef for $50 when the calf liz about
three years old This means that he
will lose at least $40 on the deal and
every man stands TO lose everything.
as there Is possibility of the calf
dying.
The government needs cooks to
train army cooks. Norfolk and New
port News have agreed TO furnish
forty experienced cooks and chefs.
Cooks will be paid $40 a month and
chefs $l25. They will be employed

Qualification At Manner In which

The field work Of the New York
bureau Of municipal research is eX-
pected to he completed by next Sat
urdav. August -. which will make
the total stay of the bureaus repre-
sentatives in Richmond Just one
month and twenty days. OF the nine
experts who have been engaged In
the work nf making n survey OF the
city government. eight have complet-
ed their work and sent their report to
the New York Office, where the COM
nlete report of the survey will be pre-
pared. The report is not expected In
Richmond before October, as the time
taken to compile the report from the
rough drafts of the field representa-
tives is usually from one to two
months.
Or. n. r. Anderson, secretary OF
1.-The Richmond civic association. sald
Yesterday that his unofficial opinion OF
the work of the bureau in Richmond
was that It had been satisfactory IN
every possible way and that thousands
Of dollars worth of benefit had al
ready been derived from the adop-
ton Of various helpful suggestions
made by the experts while doing their
work. Mr.. Anderson said that the
civic association had no report to
make. as it had been content to abide
bv the law and make no effort to In
yestigate the findings of the bureau
ana would not ask wor the report un-
til It had heeu received and perused
by city officials.
