ALLIES Ire FED
BY SELF denial
Generous Doing Without i
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since il
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength of those
who have been bearing the brnnt of
our battles, SO that they could hold
out to victory. Now that host;lities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden of keeping starvation from
increasing its toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
In freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
by hunger. A starving people turns
10. rioting and anarchy Food has
given strength and courage TO the ma
tons fighting for democracy; 1t must
now give the nations strength and
tranquility - re-establsh themselves
I'm freedom and democracy
Without our help Ii would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con
tributing largely to the support of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut off, whose production has fallen
almost 10 the vanishing point. whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States In the past year has
been sufficient TO supply the complete
Z ration of twenty-five million people.
Ii is bard to grasp the magnitude
and significance of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies b.. the
patriotic, voluntary service OF the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been suf-
fcient to feed one-ffth of our popula-
ton. And this was done in spite OF
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops. Our surplus was practi-
cally nothing An overwhelming pro-
portion of the food that left this c0ln-
try last year was saved out of the nor
mai home consumption OF our own
people.
In spite of difficulties met In inter
nal transportation and shortage of
ocean tonnage our food exports last
year amounted 10 a figure that few
years ago would have been unbelleva-
bic. Even the most optimistic element
OF our population faced with anxious
CONSERVATION the prospect which
opened before us with the beginning
OF the 1917 harvest year.
The American people have not been
compelled TO save. They have been
appealed 10 on the basis OF humanity
and Of patriotism. They have re-
sponaed voluntarily.

From Information received by the

principal grain growing states, II IL
now possible to announce with fair ac-
curacy the amount Of wheat saved last
harvest by improved methods Of ham
ding. According TO official calcula-
tons, efforts toward cleaner threshing
saved fully 100000 bushels of wheat
small grain harvested and threshed In
Il similar manner. In addition, other
states, though unable to furnish fig
ures, reported greatly reduced harvest
losses
The figure for wheat alone Is equiv
alent TO seven one-pound loaves Of
bread for every person in the United
States and represents food that FORM
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered TO only a slight extent
by poultry and livestock While OPP
pOrtunities In this branch of conserva-
ton were large, the quantity Of grain
recovered surpasses early expecta-

suits were secured principally through

port than that pledged and rendered
by farmers and threshermen toward

Here Is a Governmental Standard
By EARL GOODWIN.
of Living in Government Dormitory a. Con
Salaries Paid to Public Library Employees.


The Government would charge $45 month for lode-
on the Union Station Plaza.
That figure would provide bedroom and breakfast
ana dinner and in year would amount to $40
Other expenses, such earfare lunches Clothes
reaton, insurance and repairs and requirements would
bring the years budget considerably beyond $780, and
practically all of the expense would go for the cost
of existence
So that the Government here establishes beyond a
doubt that none Of its employees live $40 year.
On the other hand the District appropriation bill
makes provision for library assistants at exactly $40
year. therefore the Government of the United States
poets trained young to work for less than they
live on, the balance to be contributed by the young

In the city where you would expect the United States

will find it allows twenty two-and ahaf cents apiece

Washington has one of the poorest showings In the
country in the matter of public expenditures for its library
At the same time it has the highest intelligence and is
therefore city which would make the fullest use of books
Unless Congress shakes off its barnacles and awakens
to the fact that the Public Library MUST have greater
appropriations and that the employees there MUST have
more money, the Public Library will be closed.

dearly. and l. know that his love for
me is as great as mine is for him.
Both Of us are very affectionate.
But he is very self-willed, and, | am
afraid | must admit. selfish. Every
once in a while he takes Il notion
to get angry about something. and l
seldom know what IL is. l have
found that by making love to him l
can usually bring him around. but.
on the other hand, IL ! get angry.
too, he goes away. and have quite
n hard time to get him to make up
again. Several years ago we did
not speak for over a year because I
would not give in and speak first. so
then he finally spoke. but ! love him
too much to let such a length of
time lapse again. At the presen.
time he is not angry. but has been
very cool and distant toward me
for about n week: 1 am afraid to
treat him in a like manner for fear
he will become very angry. ana that
would hurt me much more than his

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About a year ago I met a young
man two years my senior. who
took a great liking to me the hrst
time we met. We learned to care
for each other a great deal. Then
this young man (who had enlisted)
had to sail for France. He asked
that / marry him before he left,
but my folks objected; but my par
+ nts consented that / should prom
Use him that / would walt for him
and marry him as soon as he re-
turned. He is very brave and
used TO call him my Perfect
Knight" And now we have had
word that he was wounded in ac-
tion, though we do not know yet
how badly. Ny parents, however.
now say that they will not allow
me to marry him IL he should come
back a cripple. / don't think they
are acting fair, and l wish you
would tell me il you do?
Your devoted reader.
MARJORIE.
No, ! don't think that they are
acting fair, Marjorie, in that they
are adding a heavy weight 10 the
trouble and anxiety already fast

understand that their action
springs from the instinct to pro-
tect their child from what they
consider an unhappy future. But
for the present the suspense Of not
knowing how seriously this young
man you love has suffered is all
that you should be asked TO bear.
His wound may prove TO have been
slight. and you may have your
hero back safe and sound and no

The ONE Way to Settle the
Question of Free Transfers

The logical and tobeexpected result Of the bungng
and childish way in which the Public Utilities Commission
MISUNDERSTANDING THE PEOPLE, handled the street
car fare negotiations has promptly come about
The street car companies refuse to grant transfers
except for few minor points which will accommodate
minimum number of passengers and those only for very
short distances
There is but thing for the Commissioners to do:
LET THEM REVOKE AT ONCE THE
ORDER GRANTING THE STREET CAR
COMPANIES A FTHE-CENT FARE.
This is opportunity for the Commissioners to prove
that they are neither WILLINGLY nor UNWILLINGLY
dominated by the companies that together control the trans
portation and electric lighting Of the city
There should be neither delay nor hesitation in doing
this There should be hearings and no negotiations
Both the Commissioners and the street officials know
all there is to know about the situation, and there has
already been too much conversation.
When the sxforaquarter fare has been reestabhshed
it win be time enough to reopen the transfer question with
possibility Of getting for the public part at least
Of what belongs to it.
