FOR D. C.'S HIGH PRICES
Mrs. Smith and E. A.. Daniel Ad-
vocate Community Buying
Before Centers.

Mrs. William Smith, assistant di-
rector of community center work. in
an address last night at a meeting
of the Piney Branch Community Cen
ter at the West School, declared that
the middlemen are mostly response
BILE for the high food prices in Wash
ington. She advocated community
buying as the only method by which
the protiteer may be curbed and relief
brought to the householders in WASH
ington.
Mrs. Newton Baker sang. One OF
her songs was when Pershing's Men
Go Marching Into Picardy. dedicated

otic nature, under the direction OF
Henry Ashe of the War Camp Com
munity Center.

foodstuffs. especially vegetables ana
fruits. could be procured in much
fresher state and at reduced price
IL they did not pass through so many
hands before reaching the consumer.

In Other Days.

1t seems so strange how we
would talk, in olden times, of
cheap affairs! How we would
argue round the clock, concern
ing oil we'll stocks and shares |!
And often, when the evening
came, we sat before the Racket
store, and talked about the base
ball game until our lungs and
heads were sore. If Johnsing
bought a motor cart, that was
our theme from sun to sun !;
we'd talk the blamed thing all
apart, and show just why it
wouldn't run. The weather was
a daily text, and we denounced
the ground hogs game; and
then the crops we'd take up next,
and they would last till bed
time came. And still we meet
at close of day, and gossip all
the evening through; but no one
quotes the price of hay, or
brings the weather in review.
The trifling matters of the town
no more engage our anxious
thought; we speak, until the
moon goes down, of far-oh
fields where men have fought.
Oh, what if jerks has swiped a
COW, or beat a neighbor in a
trade? Such things won't draw
attention now, when soldiers
swing the shining blade. Oh,
what if Jimpson has announced
that he will run for county
clerk? Until the measly foe is
trounced, we care not for such
pif1ing work. 1t seems so
strange that once we cared for
idle tales of Tom and Dick !!
But now the nations sword is
barred, and other topics make us
sick. WALT MASON.

WRITES IN HIGH PRAISE
OF RED CROSS HOSPITAL
lie Roy D. Chi1ds, Washington Sol
dier in France, Tells How
Wounded Are Cared For.

The eficient manner in which Red
Cross hospital in France is conducted
is described by Private LIE Roy D.
childs Of the 9Th Infantry. In a let
ter to his mother. Mrs. Annie c.
Childs. 1919 I street southeast. the
impression is given that soldiers deem
it a treat to be wounded just to be
cared for in one of the hospitals.
Private Childs. who was wounded
and whose letter was written while
lying on his bed in a Red Cross hos
pital. said: Il am now in Red Cross
hospital. and God knows they sure
treat you lovely. They have the
grandest nurses, and. best of all. they
are all Yankee girls" He. gave no
a idea as 81, TO ,,a nov ne vas injured s nor r
assured his mother that he would be
entirely well and back with his COM
pany at the front by the time his let
ter. which was written July IL, reached

RULE FOR SELLING SUGAR
BY MAIL ORDER HOUSES
Food Administration REQUESTS
Compliance With State Regula-
tions Governing Allowances.

Mail order houses which do an in
terstate business were requested by
the food administration today to send
into other states only such amounts
of sugar as residents of those states
are permitted by local food adminis-
traitor to purchase.
Mail order houses heretofore have
been taking orders for twenty-five
pound quantities of sugar for home
canning. regardless of the state from
which they come, or whether there is
a real need for sugar for canning in
that state.
In some states. out of regard for
fruit crop conditions or for other
reasons, sales of canning sugar have
been restricted to ten or fifteen
pounds at a single purchase. A resi-
dent of one of these states, in order
ing twenty-five pounds at a time from
a mail order house, the food admin
istration holds, is defeating the pur-
pose of the sugar regulations.

AFTER THE WAR.

This war is going to 1?d. some day, and may end sooitr than most of us expect. It may drag on for two or three years yet, or it may close with the present year; but end when 1t will 1t IS going to find millions of our men out of employment, when they return to their homes. Many ot them who were in business will find their business gone, and ma nv who were working for others will find new people in their places, giving satisfactory servi- ces, and who will not be displac- ed to make room for the old em- ploye.
 fine war has brought about a new condition of things. It has forced women, in all walks of life, to take mems places and to do the work of men; and so well and satisfactorily are they doing this work that thousands and thousands of them will be retain ed when the war IS over, and the returning soldier will have to seek other work. And, unless this can be found, and profitable to him, our whole land will be overrun with an army of tramps, such as was never known before. The taking care of our soldiers, when they return from the for eign war-zone, is problem which is going to confront this coun- try, and 1t is we'll for our eco nomists and wise men to begin thinking about what can be done, and devising some plan and means for doing 1t.
