Miss Ella M. Powelps Dis
play Is Shown at Martha
Washington Hotel
10 Varieties Are Seen
State Food Commission Spon-
sors Work Georgian Pro-
duced on Seven Acres

Daily, at the request of the New
York State Food Commission. from 2
until p. M. n the lobby of the Martha
Washington Hotel, Miss Ella NJ. Powell
is exhibiting seventy varieties of
dried foods which she grew on her ten
acre farm in Georgia and dried as her
war contribution.
Miss Powell is a musician and a
lecturer on THE Psychology Of Sing
ing." but when the war came she
stepped out on the porch of her Geor-
gia home, alone with OF Uncle Jerry as
gardener, and took an inventory of her
war assets.
"And all I had Miss Powell ad-
mittcd, was three acres of house and
lawn and seven acres of orchard and
plantation. But | was growing a guam
tity of stuff ! couldn't use, and just
Suddenly remembered all those Hoover
cards which said not to waste food. |
Just couldn't can it all. I've never been
very practical. So | tried an expert
ment Of my own. l began to dry things
in the sun, in an old potato shed in the
middle Of the garden. | put things in
tin pans, and when those gave out-for,
you see, ! wasn't really in the business
Fl put some things on newspapers, and
covered all with mosquito netting.
"Nothing ever took longer than two
days to dry, in our hot summer suns,
and before long the mountaineers and
farmers were dropping in to see my
stuff and try some of their own. And
SO it started"
But that wasn't the end, for the
Georgia Food Commission heard of her
and Miss Powell was asked to exhibit
at the North Georgia fair, where she
won the first prize for dried fruits.
VboD ho hurno11 cf of
the Federal Food Board signifed its
approval OF her method and her results
and now she has her exhibit here in
this city at the request of the New
York State Food Commission.
Her seventy varieties include dried
beans, apples, pears, peaches, parsley,
eggplant. bananas, pumpkin, cabbage,
lettuce, beets, carrots, celery, pimento,
okra, cranberries, tomatoes, asparagus,
melon, cucumber, radishes, cashaw,
huckleberries, grapes, plums-in fact,
everything one ever heard of preserv-
ing and never thought of drying
1t is said to be the first exhibit of
sun-dried products ever seen in this
city, and a delight to the housewife
who has regretted the limitations of a
small apartment. Dehydration is we'll
known, but involves an amount of COM
plicated machinery.
Miss Powel's method is as simple as
the LATEST could wish. All one has to
do is slice the fruit or vegetable to be
dried, put it in the sun atop of the
range, or on the radiator in an apart
ment, and forget about it until it is
dry.
The dried products can be sent away
in boxes, and are so light and small
that an aviator could carry enough for
3 months supply of food in q box a

dizzily to her feet At this point, the
former Premier pointed out, the danger
or exploitation by Germany hungry
tor spoils will be tremendous, and must
be met by sympathetic aid from the
Allied powers
Germany, he said, was certain to try
to rehabilitate herself at the expense
of Russia.
France, Italy and England" he re-
marked, will hardly allow at once the
products of German industry on their
markets. Germany's colonies may be
lost to her. She will follow the old
direction in sending her goods and
come to Russia. Then it will be diff
cult for us without the economical sup
port of the Allies to resist the press
ure. 1t would seem to be matter of
vital Importance for America to secure
our market. Undoubtedly the industry
of the United States will develop i'm
mensely after the war. In the mean
while the general depression in Europe
may limit the markets for her export
and Russian customers will be just as
necessary to you as the produce of
your industries is necessary for US.
Hopes to Get Lessons
But our greatest hope is not in
this. When you come, not only our
industry will revive, but we will. /
hope, receive some precious technical
lessons IN management of Industrial
affairs and organized forms of labor.
l would like to think that such an eco
nomical connection won't be dictated
purely by material motives. The
mutual sympathy of our people is so
great that it may be possible to es-
tablish a business intercourse without
expressing the weaker side. Germany
was striving for the economical slavery
Of Russia; American capital may be
more generous.
"l take this opportunity to state
with full precision that we were ex-
pectlng you at our home since long
ago. Since the time of Mouravieff we
have vainly waited for you in Siberia.
We invite you-be. welcome. I know it
well that you shall come, but please
don't come too late. Allow me, gentle
men, to lift my glass for our long
awaited meeting and the development
of our joint and friendly work in the
interest Of universal human progress" !"

descendant of Frank Bannerman,
standard bearer of the Clan Macdonald
IN the seventeenth century, Mr.. Ba-
herman came to this country from Scot
land in 1854. His father died Of
wounds suffered in the Civil War. The
house at sol Broadway in which Mr.
Bannerman established his business
was known far and wide His GUS
toners ranged from curio seekers and
home Guard commanders to tilibusters
and revolutionists. His arsenal on
PolopePs Island, with its castellated
structures, was one of the landmarks
of the Hudson River.
When Germany swept over Belgium
and the fate of the British at Mons
hung in the balance, the blood of the
standard bearer of tie Clan MacDon-
aid ran hot in the veins of his descen-
dant. Mr.. Bannerman was too old To
enlist, but on September 4, 1914, just
before the turn of the tide at the
Marne, he offered to Lord Kitchener
his entire stock in trade, worth about
$1.500,000, as a gift
The offer was declined, the law of
the realm forbidding the acceptance
of such gift from any but subjects
of King George. A few months later,
when home guards were organized in
England after the shelling Of Hartle-
pool, Mr. Bannerman wrote to the
Lord Mayor of London as "a native of
