MAY RATION JAM IN ENGLAND
Tea and Cheese Also Are Becoming
Extremely Rare

So serious has become the food sit
uation in England, according to ad-
vices received by the Missouri Divi-
sion Of the Food Administration, that
the British Ministry of Food is now
considering a rationing system for
Jam. This is only one of the emer-
gency measures which have been
caused by TIE partial failure of food
crops in Great Britain this season.
Fixed prices have been established
on strawberries, raspberries and
currants. Growers who produce more
than one hundredweight of these may
sell only to licensed jam manufactur-
ers. This has been necessary in order
to assure an adequate supply for the
British army and navy.
Tea and cheese are also becoming
extremely rare. The Minister OF Food
is considering q rationing plan which
will embrace both commodities.

problem of wearing a hat and a mask
at the same time is a difficult one
Sometimes the difficulty is avoided by
adjusting the mask at the most be-
coming ankle at home before the mir
ror and then wearing it all morning
The number of hatless University
women was larger than usual TODAY
because masks are more easily adj
justed when no hat is worn. Some
girl students even stopped in the
halls, removed their hats. adjusted
their masks and then put their hats
back on before entering the class
rooms
The most novel style seen among
the women was worn by a girl with
a tam-o'-shanter. Instead of removing
her cap to put on her mask. she wore
the strings tied on top of the cap in
a cOquettish bow.

STYLES IN MASKS ARE VARIED
Showing Includes Gauze and Muslin
Large and Small Bows.

Styles of wearing masks, as exhib-
tied by University students in class
rooms. are almost as varied as the
number Ow wearers Masks high on
the face. masks low on the neck, masks
with big bows and masks with small
bows, masks of muslin and masks of
gauze all made their appearance.
Perhaps the most fashionable mode
of wearing the masks among the men
students is to wear the upper strings
draped over the ears and tied at the
back of the head and the lower strings
tied on the neck. A variation from this
mode is to tie the ends of the strings
on either side of the mask together
and drape the loops over the ears.
Sometimes the bow is worn on top of
the ear, sometimes under the ear
and sometimes the ends are allowed
to flow with a streamer eect.
The girls seem to have the most
trouble adjusting their masks. The

service of the flag.
"And, whereas the privilege Of Civ
ing moral and financial support to
this wonderful work, so closely inter-
woven with the lives of the men in
service, has been given not to an in

individual man, woman and child in

do hereby proclaim to the citizens of
Tennessee that Sunday, November II.

thanksgiving for the victory of the

most relentless foe Of all the ages.
| call upon the people to assemble in
their various places of worship and
offer up prayers to God, not only for
the victory, but for the disposition
and strength to show themselves
worthy of the sacrifices made on the
field of battle by their sons. Let it
be proclaimed and urged from every
pulpit in Tennessee that the people
bestow attention, lend effort and
strength and give literally, to the
fullest extent of their means as a
thanksgiving offering for victory, to
the appeal of the United War Work
campaign for funds to carry on the
wonderful work of the seven welfare
societies through the long demobili-

temptations and multiplied hours of
leisure, following the ending of hos

is to be the most critical year in the
lives Of our men in service, they
must experience no interruption or
modification of tba avfant IN which
the work of these welfare organiza-

this does not happen is the part Of
those Of us who have been left here

U.s.. Armies Ordered Mustered Out
Demobilization Orders Have Been
Issued For American Army
At Home and In France
(By The United Press. )

WASHINGTON, Nov. -Demobiliza-
ton orders already issued will care for the
discharge of 100000 men within the next
two weeks in this country. AS the machin-
cry develops the army can discharge 10000
men daily. No more troops will be sent
overseas.
These facts developed from Chief of Staff
March's press conference today. General
March has ordered General Pershing to re-
turn to the United States as transports are
available casuals, convalescent, sick and
wounded before the steady flow of larger
bodies begins. General March said there
are 100000 men in United States camps
and that it will take some time to muster
them out. Orders have already been issued
to take care of 100000 who, General March
added, should be out within the next two
weeks.

"It has come about that the peo-
pie of the United States today find
themselves victorious over a foe that
threatened the liberties Of the peo-
pies of the world; the lives of women
and children, particularly, and of all
free men. To help establish this free
dom from oppression, it became nee
essary that millions of the best young
manhood of America should go over
seas and separate themselves from
their accustomed vocations and do
mestic influences. This, naturally,
created a mental and spiritual hunger
for those ties of family, society and
church that are dear to the hearts
and closest to the deepest feelings Of
every American. To supply this void
in the lives of our millions of soldiers
and sailors, the President Of the Unit
ed States committed to seven recog-
nized welfare organizations, the work
of following our armies and ships with
the most needful and stimulating re
