HOOVER URGING
 GREATER POWER OF FOOD CONTROL

Washington, Jan. 29-Extension of the provisions of the Lever act to in- clude control of the distribution, manufacture and preservation of foodstuffs is advocated by Food Ad- ministrator Hoover in a letter to Rep. resentative Anderson of the House agricultural committee. made public today.
 MT. Hoover's ideas of legislation necessary to the effect the food saving essential to the proper rationing of the Allies are given in reply to pro- posals contained in a draft of a food bill recently submitted by MT. Ander- son to the food administrator. The extension of the measures of the Lever act, MT. Hoover says, should include: Control of distribution in order i that all classes and localities may 1 fare alike and that unnecessary con- sumption should be prevented. Control of use of foodstuffs in food manufactures with view to limiting the less essential manufactures. Control of commodities critically I necessary for the production and pre- l servation of foodstuffs in order to l prevent great losses of military sacri- | fees"
 In addition to the increasing of wheatless and meatless days and re- ducing the percentage of wheat in flour, steps virtually taken already by the food administration, MT. Ander- sons bill proposed licensing of public eating n1aces and the limiting of food 1 served in them. III tlils cohnectlon MT. Hoover said:
 while it is vitally necessary to regulate the consumption of food in public eating places. they consume on various estimates from 12 to 20 per cent of the total foodstuffs and if they were reduced out of all req

AID INTERCOURSE OF HOMES WITH
 MEN AT CAMPS

Washington, Jan. 29.-To assist in Keeping relatives in personal touch with soldiers in training camps and hospitals the American Red Cross has notified Secretary Baker that it is prepared to establish at home the same camp service already established in France.
 Secretary Baker recently wrote to Chairman Henry P. Davison of the Red Cross war council, suggesting that the Red Cross assist in estab- fishing this medium of communica- tion.
 American Red Cross representa- tives at the camps here, as in France" wrote Secretary Baker, would have access to daily lists of admissions and evacuations from the hospitals, and so far as it is in &C., cord with necessary medical rules, would be allowed to talk with sick men. They would be expected to keep families constantly informed as to the conditions and progress of the men in the hospitals, to write letters for men unable to write themselves, and Tn general to tulhl that clause or the Red Cross charter which desig- mates the society as a medium of com- munication between troops in the field and their families at home"
 Chairman Davison replied that the 'Red Cross would immediately appoint suitable men "searchers'' in the var ious camps to put the service into op- eration as quickly as possible and would abide by whatever regulations the war department prescribed.
 Secretary Baker announced today that as soon as details were arranged by the surgeon general and the adju- tant general, orders would be issued to camp commanders Informing them of the plan and bespeaking their CO., operation, both in facilitating the work of the searchers and in making them comfortable in camp"

 FOR N. Y. CITY

New York, Jan. 29-Police Com missioner Enright appointed Mrs. Ellen A. O'Grady of 1475 President street, Brooklyn, a probation officer in Brooklyn. to the position of Fifth Deputy Police Commissioner yester- Gay, and in a speech to all the police inspectors told them that he was go- ing to hold them responsible for the strictest enforcement of the law.
 Mrs. O'Grady, the new Deputy Po- lice Commissioner, entered the service of the Magistrates courts on June IT, 1907. She has been a resident of Brooklyn for the last 35 years, and is a widow and has three daughters. It was announced that her duty will be largely the investigation and elim- ination of the white slave trade and to direct the policy of the police de- partment against men who annoy women on the streets, in the subways, and on the elevated. Regarding this appointment, Commissioner Enright made the following statement: | After consultation with the mayor yesterday morning, I have decided to 1 appoint a woman as Deputy Police | Commissioner. My experience in this l department has demonstrated to me the absolute necessity of having a woman as Deputy Commissioner. Tn this city every year there are hun- dreds of girls lured from their homes and their lives wrecked. Hundreds of other girls from all over the coun- try, who come to this city seeking op- portunities are lured from the path of virtue, and finally are found lead. ing a life of shame. At this very mo- ment hundreds of mothers, whose hearts are burning, are seeking in i formation regarding their daughters who have mysteriously disappeared How many of us believe that such a fate as Ruth Cruger has met was pos. sible? Men have not the same kind of sympathy in these cases as g mother who has daughters of he1 own.
 Mrs. O'Grady has been a resident of Brooklyn for 25 years and. g. Civi Service probation officer in the court of Brooklyn for the last ten years. ] have often come in contact with he1 4O1 lIIS5 4SI ySS1A . OL oCA N1SC III SA1S HO- lice courts, and her work has always impressed me as of particularly higt type.
 Her rugged honesty, experience and fearlessness make her peculiarly adapted for the work that she will be called upon to perform. Mrs. O'Grad1 is a widow who, at the death of hel husband, IS years ago, Vas obliged tt go to work in order to support ant educate her three daughters. He, time will practically be devoted t the investigation and elimination O the white slave traffic, also looking af ter the loafers on street corners sub way and elevated trains, who mak' it their business to insult and anno! women and girls"
 No deputy commissioner was ap pointed to take charge of traffic, bu Third Deputy Commissioner John W Golf, Jr, who was named to presid over police trials, has been assigned to the direction of traffic. Mrs IO'Grady received $1, ,340 in her position as probation officer and will receiv' s6,O ,OOO a year as deputy commissioner Mrs. OGrady declined yesterday t make any statement regarding hel appointment.
