HERDE}T HOOVER ASKS
TO ENFORCE
FOOD CONSERVATION N
/. Effort to Save FOOdstuf In
? Order to Win War Fail
4 Congress Is to Blame

I ington, Jan. 29.-Herbert Hoov-
er = warned congress that if he is
not : the power to enforce food
cons on in the country, congress
alone snail bear the grave responsible
tiles for failure of the food program
Voluntary conservation, Hoover said
in letter to Representative Sidney
Anderson of the house agriculture COM
mittee, is showing wonderful results.
But, he adds, there is the minority of
unpatriotic who discourage the faith
full and who cannot be reached except
by legislation.
Hoover declared in his letter he wants
the power to enforce the following:
Wheatless and less days per week
Forbidding use of foodstuffs in non
food products.
Limitations on food served in pub
lie eating places.
Control of distribution that all clas-
ses and localities may fare alike and
that unnecessary consumption should be
prevented.
Control of use of foodstuffs with a
view of limiting the less essential man
ufacturers.
Control of commodities critically nee
essary for the production and preserva-
tion of foodstuffs in order to prevent
great losses or military sacrifices.
"While it is vitally necessary to reg
ulate the consumption of food in pub
lie eating Places" Hoover wrote An
derson, "they consume on various es-
Inmates from twelve to twenty percent
of the total foOdstuffs and even if they
were reduced out of all reason they
would not solve the problem. Some
method must be devised which will COW
er much wider area of consumption.
1t appeared to me that we should at
tack the non-essential uses of foodstuffs
and that we should attack the points of
consumption of foodstuffs
By these means we can place the bur-
den where it belongs-on the Inquiries
of the greedy, and not upon the poor.
This implies some further measures of
control in distribution and non-essen-
tial use. If you will give the whole
problem study [ believe you will find
that somewhere in the nation we con-
sumo or destroy over thirty percent
more food than we need for health and
strength and that this margin, if it can
be eliminated, will supply all allied de.
nands. But we should not draw it from
that class to which economy and moder-
ate use is daily necessity.
"Take, for example, the case of
sugar, the shortage in which will, we
hope, not exceed ten per cent. We should
be able to accomplish this by reduc-
lion in the manufacture of confection-
cry and sweet drinks of say twenty per
cent and these very manufacturers could
substitute other things and maintain
heir volume of production.
"During the recent shortage we made
A patriotic appeal to such manufactur-
ers to reduce their consumption of
sugar by 80 per cent and placed it at
this figure because we did not wish to
destroy the livelihood of 100000 wom-
IN and girls pending fuller supplies of
sugar. I have specifically before me

 What are you thinking of, Arth- Ur?" he questioned.
 'I was thinking that my father could not help but stand by you. As a loving brother and as a true knight, he could not have done other wise.'
 And yet" answered Richard sadly, ''the church demands that I go to the Holy Land to expiate the resistance of my fathers authority. Oh, Arthur. if you were only man you might fight by my side.'
 The boys face was radiant with ex- citement. T will go with you, my uncle, as your page, your servant" he said simply.
 Constance of Brittany clasped her son close to her heart. Mot yet, my impatient fledgling. Not until you have grown to manhood shall you fight in the wars"

In one of the series of Made in- Connecticut War Interviews with Wo- men, obtained by the Connecticut State Council of Defense, Mrs. Lucre- cia s. Cummings, a member of the Southington board of education, de- scribes war work done or to be done through the schools of the state. She says that one of the most important accomplishments of the schools has been the spreading among foreign born adults of the war doctrines out lined by the President and other na- tional leaders as explained to the pupils by their teachers. A great number of parents, she says, have learned through their children of the real war aims and motives of the United States, many of whom would probably have held distorted views if they had been left to rely on their ordinary limited sources of informa- ton. Mrs. Cummings said:
 '9The question of what the schools can do to meet the war needs of the country is in part very easily answer ed because we can simply refer to what the schools have actually done already, What more they may do will develop as time goes on, but for the present what they have done and are doing forms a long and inspiring cha pter in war work. Children and young people love to help in the work of their elders, and in this case, under a little wise direction and inspiration, their collective accomplishment amounts to nothing less than doing a mans job' Each child's contribution
 is small but the sum total of their achievement is very large and destined to be larger.
 "One of their earliest activities was in school and home garden work, com mencing in the spring under school superivision and carried on all sum- mer in the same way, resulting in sur prising totals of vegetables and grain raised for home consumption. Manual training classes for boys were given an agricultural turn with fieId-prac- tice. Sewing classes for girls were turned in the direction of Red Cross work, while cooking classes have been
 used for teaching food conservation
 and values.
 ''The schools have taken an active part in several of the recent drives. Pupils acted as messengers and even
 as canvassers in securing signatures to
 the food pledge, often bringing their influence to bear on reluctant parents. Explanations of the movement given | by teachers were faithfully carried home by the children and in many foreign and some American homes the | cards were signed simply because the pupils had paved the way. When in- terpreters were wanted the schools readily furnished good ones.
 Great assistance was given by the schools in the recent canvass for Red Cross members, different units wing with one another for the greatest number of members secured. I'm pressive parades of school children

She Learns What Sort of Brock Is Up-to-the-N NIh
: Bv GRACE THORNCLIFFE

I 'Let the bodice be perfectly plain 1 with a square deco1letage, cut mod estly high, and short, cap sleeves There should be a soft fulness at the waistline and close the frock in the back.
 Make the skirt comfortably full to permit absolute freedom of move ment, but keep it from f1aring as much as possible. Veil the entire frock with ca layer of blue chiffon to match the satin.
 Since there's nothing quite so graceful as an overdrapery of tulle, we will have to think of something l original for Miss Merton's frock. Julie, would you mind bringing me a large piece of ffesh-colored tuIle? When Madame had divided the piece into halves. she said to mes Stand up, CIaire-you're about Miss Merton's size-while drape this tulle to give Miss Kenyon an idea of how want it arranged
 Taking the mist-like material she placed piece over each shoulder and drew it in soft folds down to the Wa1stline where she pinned it in graceful folds. She draped the en- tire width of the tuTle over the arms, forming long sleeves that extended well over the hands, pinning it in two ! places to form the whimsical drapery | that was most attractive. Quite satisfied with the effort Madame said to Marianne: Run, like a good girl, and get me some French flowers in the pastel ] coloring and a bolt of blue ribbon to match the satin.''
 1 Then Madame fashioned eight tiny bouquets of pink, blue and mauve posies, tying them with bows of blue ribbon. With these she caught up the draperies of tuIle, both in the front and back.
 There, that's 1oveIy!" she ex- claimed. '"The frock will be perfect. Miss Kenyon, when you have added a girdle of silver tissue embroidered with brilliants. Let it fit the wrist snugy, drawing it through slashes in the tulle drapery. Now, shelia, please let me see the finished sketch.'' We crowded around the artist and began saying complimentary things about the drawing.
 "If Miss Merton's frock turns out to be half as pretty as your sketch, I'll be thoroughly satisfied" said Madame.
 Hurry up to the worHoom and be- gin the frock at once, Miss Kenyon. I want it ready for the first fitting Tuesday,
 When the filter had left, she said:
 "Come, children, we're probably needed in the studio'
 And, again the three of us trotted after Madame to "see what we could see.'

helped powerfully in getting subscrib- CTS to the Liberty Loans. The pupils have entered enthusiastically into the thrift stamp movement and the aim of having at least one-half of the nations school children become own CTS of thrift stamps bids fair to be fully realized. If a habit of thrift should be established among the young it's influence upon their future will not be the least of the gains of the war.
 "The schools are rapidly organizing Junior Red Cross Chapters and under the guidance of the teachers they are already accomplishing such work as is within their ability.
 ''The schools have become distrfbut- ing centers for all sorts of patriotic literature and appeals which it is de- sired to bring before the people. Pupils gladly take home the material and supplement it with the expIana- tions which they have heard from their teachers. Their agency in the matter has been almost indispensable. When we wish to get the great aims of the war before the rank and file of our most cosmopolitan country, where do we begin? Where but in the  schools In tens of thousands of ignor- ant homes the children repeat the message they have learned from their teachers, We are fighting to make the world safe for common people, and for the weakest as well as the strongest What greater war work could be done than to spread this gos- pei as the schools are doing?
 ''We must remember that no public work done by the children, however successful it may be, equals the infiu- ence which they exert at home. In country like ours, including so many homes where our language is not un- derstood the children constitute our greatest agency for securing under standing and cooperation on the part Of our very heterogeneous populati0@. The influence of sour supervisors ana teachers reaches not only their pupils but also a vast number of adults whom we can at present reach in no other way.
 "As we think of our original ques- tion, does it not assume in our minds a new form? Not What can the schools do?' but What cannot the schools do to meet the war needs of the country?'"

Incidents M the LiveS Of World Famous Women
How the Young Son of Constance of Brittany Won
 His Uncle'S Heart
> By EEOISE HARRINGTON

The sun had halfway set when the messenger for whom Constance Of Brittany had watched all day rode his faded horse into the courtyard. Throwing the reins to a servant he hastened into the presence of his mis- tress
 He had hardly entered the door when she exclaimed: King Henry is dead! Who is his successor, Rich ard or John?"
 ''Richard is now King of England, my lady''
 Thank God! He will be just. When does he come to France?'
 '4rhey say he is expected in Rouen in a day or so."
 AS soon as the King comes to Rouen we will seek him there. Make the necessary preparations for our journey, my good Philippe"
 And, for the first time since the death of her husband, Godfrey, son of Henry II. of England, and Duke of Brittany, Lady Constance felt that her young sons future was secure.
 The heir to the dukedom had been born while the body of his father lay awaiting burial in the castle chapel The lords of Brittany immediately ac- knowledged him as their ruler, agree ing that Constance should wield the sceptre during his minority.
 While all went well in Brittany, trouble was brewing for &he young d 4IoaT- Queen Eleanor, refused to recognize him as the heir of her son, Godfrey.
 Then King Henry died and Richard reigned in his stead. Constance, re- membering his deep love for his brother, hoped that he would ac- knowledge Arthur as an heir to the throne of England.
 Thus matters stood on the summer morning when the Duchess of Brit tany, her son, Arthur, and their at- tendants started for Rouen:
 For days they rode, and upon reaching their destination were escort ed to the castle where Richard was staying.
 As they passed through the corri- dors, Constance pressed Arthur hand, saying:
 Bear myself well, my son, upor this, thy first meeting with thy un- cle. I wish above all else, that he should love thee."
 When they reached the guarded door a page appeared to lead them tC the King.
 The duchess, followed by Arthur entered the spacious room at the up per end of which sat Richard. He rose and advanced eagerly to meet Constance, greeting her with deeI emotion.
 Tt is long, dear sister-in-law, since we last met, and we have both passed through great sorrows. But you hay, been blessed with one consolation. Richard placed his hand upon Ar thurs shoulder and drew the Ia, close to his side. The boy stoope' and kissed the Kings other hand which act of devotion greatly pleaset his lady mother.
 Godfrey! Geoffreyr' murmure' Richard to himself. Then, smilini sadly at Constance, he said: "Hov much the lad looks like his father"

 Harriet-When you go to a party with another girl, and boy asks per mission to escort you home, if\you are polite, you will say: 'Yes, shall be glad to go with you; but I came with Mary Smith. | wonder if someone is taking her home?" The young man should then learn whether Mary Smith is provided with an escort, and if not, he should at once include her in his invitation, or see to it that some other boy takes care of her. If Mary does walk as far as her home with. you and your escort, both you and the young man must make her feel that she is not intruding, but that you are glad to have her with you. If Mary IS con siderate, she will insist upon being taken to her home first.
