Demand For Kid Wdtstcodts Great,

The usefulness OF the kid waist.
coats which some OF the Red Cross
organizations have been making. Is
indicated in the following extract
from a letter recently received by Mrs
! Young from Washington:
Many requests have come from
divisions and chapters 10 be allowed
to make kid waistcoats for soldiers
and sailors.
The demand for these waistcoats
is great, both in this country and
abroad. Major Murphy, commission
or to Europe, cables that chapters
should send over as many of these
leather waistcoats as they can make
All chapters should be notified Of
this demand as soon as possible. and
given the following directions:
Soft waste leather Of every pos
sible description may be used, such
as cast off kid gloves, discarded
furniture covers, pieces Of book
leather. etc.
Leather factories should be asked
to donate clippings.
The leather is appllqued with a
sewing machine onto cotton or
linenette foundation Of some sort,
which has previously been cut into
the shape OF man sleeveless
waistcoat closing up to the throat.
The foundation should then be back
ed with brown or khaki colored
SILICA, galatea, or any inexpensive
material. The waistCoats are made
so that they meet or lap over in the
front, but without buttons or fasten-
ers Of any sort.
when leather from old gloves is
used, the gloves should be cleaned
and cut open, and the leather used
in single thickness only.
THE waistcoats may be made from
as large or as small scraps Of leather
as desired. 1t is immaterial what
color leather is used, as the leather
is worn inside and does not show"

Flour Sales viii Be Cut
rs Per Cent to Create 4
Surplus For Export Demand
CRx Associated Prsss.l


Washington, Jan. 25.-To create a
large export surplus -four for the
allies. the food administration is con-
sidering a plan OF forced reduction in
-four sales all the way from the
miller to the consumer. Millers,
wholesalers. retailers and bankers
probably will be required to hold
their sales or -four down TO IS per
cent of the amount now handled.
AS the allies are demanding from
rs, 900, 900 to 100000 more bush
els OF wheat, the food administration
has arranged to take over 30 per
cent Of Americas -four production,
out of which will be selected supplies
for export.
Food administration officials be-
lieye the United States can give
Europe 10000 900 bushels OF wheat
made into -four between now and the
time the new American crop comes
in. without cndangering the Amert-
can supply.
London, Jan. 25.-Great Britain
calls upon the United States for
rs, 00O, 900 bushels more Of wheat.
This was one Of the most import
ant statements which Lord Rhondda,
the British food controller, made in
Press today. The controller describ-
ed the food shortage in Great Britain
as most serious, but not such as
would be detrimental to the health
Of the population with proper
MANAGEMENT of supplies and willing
ness on the part of the people to
accept equally nOurishing substitutes
for some of the foods they have been
accustomed to.
He referred to the difficulty of dis
cussing the subject frankly without
giving encouragement to the
exaggerated hopes in Germany that
this country was suffering very
severely from lack Of food. He drew
n sbarp distinction between the
conditions in Germany where the
public health, particularly that or
women and children had been dan
rerouslv undermined by lack or
nutrition and semi-starvation, and
where the working effectiveness OF
the men had been decreased 30 per
cent, and in Great Britain. In
Great Britain, he said, the self-denial
thus far practiced has actually inn
proved the physical condition OF the
nation.
States we shall pull through he
declared. Il would feel very de-
spondent over the position IL the
United States had not come into the
war. but / have unbOunded faith in
your ability and good will to help
us work out the problem. Our
situation would have been a happy
one but for the shortage Of crops in
Italy and France.
The war will be won by Eng
land. It is a test of endurance be-
tween England and Germany. We
are today where Germany was two
years ago. I have no fear OF failure
on the hghting line.
