PROBLEM OF THE
SCHOOL LUNCH

Now that the children have gone
back to school again, every mother on
the farm is puzzling her brains over
that old, old question: "What am I
going to have for my lunch today?"
Lunches must be three things, as ev-
cry farm mother knows: something
that will carry" something that is
different" and something that is
filling" enough to last until night.
After wholesome, nutritious food, the
chief interest in a lunch box is in it's
being packed attractively.
Miss Nellie Maxwell of the depart
ment of farmers Institutes at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, says that paper
cups help to solve both the problems
Of wholesome food and attractive pack
ing. This is what she tells the lunch
packer"
"Just remember that the hearty, ro-
bust boy will demand food that most
girls will not care for, and that the
lunch is probably going to be well
jolted on country roads and in the
hands of children will help in pack
ing the lunch basket.
'WaXed paper, paper napkins and
paper cups have done a great deal to-
ward simplifying the lunch problem.
Sandwiches and cakes may be wrapped
in waxed paper, which prevents drying
out and crushing easily. Jellies, GUS
tards, salads and cottage cheese are
articles Of food that have long been
turned down for lunch boxes because
they had to be carried in dishes, and

FENSIVE MATTER WRIT
TEN BY GEORGE CREEL.

Washington. April 20-The house
today refused to accept a special
report made by Postmaster General
Burleson on the amount of printed
matter sent to American soldiers
BY the committee on public infor-
nation because it contained a state
ment by George Creel, chairman OF
the committee, which a special in
vestigation committee Of the house
characterized as "impertinent and
disrespecttul.'
The special committee, headed by
Representative Caraway, Democrat,
of Arkansas, made its report in re-
Sponse to a resolution offered by
Representative Treadway, Republi-
can. of Massachusetts, who charged
that Creels committee was sending
tons" of literature to the soldiers
which was not wanted.
Mr.. Burlesous reply contained a
statement from Creel declaring the
"baseleSsneSs' OF Mr.. Treadway' $
charges could have been ascertaincd
by telephone inquiry.
Citing precedents for its action,
the committee recalled that the
house once refused to accept GER
tain parts of message by former
President Roosevelt, which it con-
sidered as reflecting on members of
congress.

PRICE CONTROL

A bulletin issued by the committee of
the Chamber of Commerce and the United
States finds it not unnatural that the gov
eminent should proceed slowly in its TN
Drecedented action OF price control and
distribution, and adds:
There has not been developed as vet a
clear policy with regard to securing the
assistance of business men in connection
with the control OF prices. In some cases
the government has called upon those in
tercsted in business to participate in the
actual fixing of prices. This has resulted
in fixing OF prices by negotiation, which
is clearly really harmful. In the Judgment
of the committee, men elected by an in
dustry to represent it should be called upon
by the government for full information
which would be helpful in fixing prices,
but the actual determination of the price
should be semi-judicial function,
Success in price control IS to be eN-
pected only where made III connection
with distribution and when the attempt is
made as near as possible to the source of
supply; also when advantage is taken OF
such helpful aids as the control of railway
transportation, and furthermore when the
government has the assistance OF business
men OF knowledge and experience, furn-
ished on a disinterested basis and under
such circumstances as to bring about CO
operation in the, industries which such men
represent.
