FOR ITALY'S BABIES.

Motherhood In Italy just now is not
the JOY that II might be, for the poor
women are at their wits ends to clothe
the children already in the family, not
to mention the preparation for the lit
tie newcomers. Perhaps the most ap-
preclated gifts of the American Red
Cross at this time are the layettcs
which are being given to the mothers
of Italy. Each layettc consists of
twenty-four pieces and includes four
bright colored swathing bands, SO dear
to the heart of the Italian woman.
Twenty layettes week are needed at
Chioggia alone.

Food Administration Will Adopt Rules to PreUent Hoarding
 by the HOuseholders

Washington, Jan ll.--Enforced food conservation in restaurants and extension of i-hoarding regulations to make them apply to the household are included in the plans of the food administration for creating larger export surplus of food for the allies

Only by further saving. Mr Hoover de- clared, can the food be shipped
 There is need for rationing in America in Mir Hooyer's opinion and with the supplementary regulations there will be no shortages.
 'It is true that the allies need from seventy five million to ninety five million bushels more of American wheat says the statement "It is also true We have already exported theoretical surplus of last harvest

 AND WILL COST $6o,ooo,ooo.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Establish- ment Of a government powder plant at Hadley's Bend of the Cumberland river near Nashville, Tenn, was an- nounced tonight by General Crozier, chief of the ordnance bureau of the war department.

 Most of the industries asked to re- duca their coal consumption will ac- complish it by shutting down entire ly for one day each week as the Dape. board makers already have been or drred Co do Some industries, how - ever, cannot shut down easily for a day and these will be asked to cease operations for as long as month later along in the year
