of Its Kind in y. S,


The inspirjng strains of national
airs played by the 13Srd infantry banu
from Camp Cody yesterday afternoon
at the armory ushered in the Moth
er-Daughter congress on war work
and conservation and especially on
Hooverized cookery which is TO be
held in the city all this week-the
first statewide gathering of women to
study ways and means of grilling the
kaiser on the kitchen stoves of the
patriotic housewives of New Mexico.
1t was a warm hour on warm day,
but the mothers and daughters and
the sisters minded it not bit over
two hundred of them were there from
all parts of the state when Major j.
II. Toulouse. field secretary of the
food administration, opened the ses-
sion. They are coming in on every
train and 500 is set as the minimum
number that will be here by the mid
die of the week.
After music by the band, by a ladies
chorus and The Fountain Sisters, who
achieved great applause by their rend-
ering Of La Paloma" and another
selection.
The convention was opened by Paul
@. Redington, city manager of Albu-
querque. who extended hospitable
greeting TO the delegates in behalf
of the states metropolis; by Ralph
c. Ely, federal food administrator
for New Mexico, who combined an ex-
planation of the food situation and an
eloquent appeal to the women of the
state in his address, by Charles
Springer, chairman of the executive
committee of the New Mexico Council
of State Defense, who paid high tri-
butte to the womanhood of the nation
and state and broughb a message of
thrift and self-sacrifice from the ma
tional defense council: and by A. G.
Cooley, the alert and dynamic young
director of the extension work of the
state college. Major j. III. Toulouse
soon to leave the food administration
probably for the trenches in France,
and who received tribute and a Cod
speed from Mr.. Springer, introduced
the various speakers briefly and ef-
fectively.
After music by the band, whose se-
lections formed fitting background
for the spirit of the. meeting, and
vocal selections by Albuquerque wo-
men representative of the personnel
of the convention, City Manager Red
ington was introduced and got the
gathering interested instantaneously
by wading vigorously into the kaiser
and all his works, including William
Also Randolph Hearst" declaring
that one of the biggest things done
by the council of state defense was its
inauguration of public protest
against the utterances and the pub
lications OF Mr. Hearst.
The representation here" said Mr..
Redington, lis a splendid indication
or the spirit of the American people.
! They are in this war to the finish.
They will do all in their power to
back up their government and will
never consent to ending the war by
treaty signed anywhere else than
on the other side of the Rhine"
Mr.. Redington declared that 1t was
extremely creditable that people
should take the time and effort ito
come here and learn how to best
brand the canards of the kaiser to the
effect that the people of America are
heart and soul back of their govern
ment."
The food administration" said the
speaker, has done as much as any
branch of the government to educate
the people into the knowledge of what
must be done to win the war. The
man is guilty of treason who opposes
this work, as much as the yellow dog
who shouts for peace at any price.
