More Snow.

tt is most unfortunate that the snow
should have come just when the coal
order was gaining its effect in a move
ment Of fuel toward the seaboard. For
this storm cannot fail to slacken the
cars and check the unloading Of the
fuel and the loading of the ships now
awaiting bunker supplies in the ports.
However, it is we'll to reflect that if it
were not for the coal order, which is
now in its fifth day of operation, the
situation would have been much worse.
For unquestionably the order has
brought results. It has permitted a fuel
movement throughout the eastern states
and has supplied cities with coal that
were practically on the point of ex-
haustion. Luckily the snow is not ac-
eompanied by very cold weather. Moth
ing can be so bad that it cannot be
worse. We are having severe vista
tion of climatic trials this winter, but
we are weathering the storms and will
go forward to spring without faltering.

Local Housing Problem Acute.

There are at this time only 1000
satisfactory available rooms offered for
rent in this city, notwithstanding fire.
ouent appeals to householders to make
tender of their accommodations for the
use of the newcomers to the government
service. Department clerks are being
added each week at the rate of about
1,500. The ordnance department alone,
last week, added 4lo. 1t is obvious that
unless more rooms are offered by the
householders there will be much dis
comfort among the clerks who are com
ing here to do the governments war
work, or else the government itself will
suffer through declinations of appoint
ments.
As a result of the inadequacy of hous-
ing facilities at the capital over so per
cent Of all people offered civil service
appointments here are refusing to take
them. Many others are refusing even
to take the examination on account of
the reports Of conditions here. Further
more, clerks are leaving continually,
having come and accepted positions and
found living conditions unsatisfactory.
The government may have to build
quarters for its employees. But construc-
tion cannot be in season to meet the
urgent needs Of the public service. It
is imperative that every householder in
Washington who has a room to spare
should make known the fact at the cen.
ira! registration bureau, 1921 New York
avenue, stating price and conditions
plainly. Unless the war work Of the
government is to be seriously handi-
capped the people of Washington must
come to the front. There can be no
question that the rooms are here to be
had, certainly for the clerks Of the
present and those of the immediate
future. pending the construction of
emergency quarters by the government.

while the war lasts. But how much
longerf And what change, if any, in
governmental policy toward the rail-
roads will take place after the war
closest
There is widespread and well justified
curiosity on this point. There is like
wise some anxiety. The reason is that
advocates Of government ownership and
operation of railroads are improving the
occasion to bring that policy to the
front, and, if possible, strengthen it for
action by Congress when the action they
have in view is urged by them.
Secretary McAdoo, now government
director Of railroads, was interrogated
yesterday on the witness stand as to his
attitude toward government ownership
and operation. He told the Senate in
teTstate commerce committee that he did
not believe in the policy. He added,
however:
Il do believe it will be impossible to
turn the roads back to their owners un-
der exactly the same system in which
they were operated when the govern
ment took them over. There must be
some form of government control"
It is plain from this statement of the
case, and from other things, that Con-
gress, in whatever measure it passes,
should make its meaning entirely clear,
both as to present governmental rail
road control and possible future con-
troll. The future, it is true, is in the
hands Of the future. This Congress can
not commit its successor. If railroad
legislation should be necessary two
years hence, the Sixty-si1th Congress
will be free to shape it according to its
own notion. But what is done now will
have bearing on the future, and on
that account should be prepared with all
care.
Railroad transportation in this coun-
try is so large and vital a proposition
that any permanent change with regard
to it would affect all interests; and
hence all interests should be considered
and consulted in the preparation of the
measure the Senate interstate commerce
committee is on the eve of taking up

against preparedness that Mr.. Bryan, in
his minds eye, saw Americans, upon a
threat of war, rise as one man, both
eager and ready to meet the enemy. He
put the figure at million; but his pos
tu,ate would apply as easily to twenty
millions as to one.
Mr.. Bryan did not overestimate the
patriotism or the courage of his coun-
| trymen. Love Of country is as strong
in Americans as in any men on the
globe, and they have shown as much
| valor in war as men anywhere.
But, in war, patriotism and valor do
not suffice. They must be supported by
weapons for carrying on war. The
more valiant the man in action made
quately equipped, the more certain he
is to fall victim to his enemy armed
adequately and up to date. His valor
in such an encounter invites dcstruc-
ton.
The investigations now in progress
are eye-openers on this subject to the
miHennialists, who for years succeeded
in defeating tho recommendations of
soldiers and sailors about our military
establishment. They are discovering
that nation does not lie down at night
a pacificist and rise up in the morning
a warrior. Magic does not operate. 1t
takes time to make fighting man, and
time also to make the weapon he is to
use. Neither training nor gun can be
wished on him. He must undergo prep
aration, and his gun must be manufac-
tured.
Mr.. Bryan had forgotten the lesson of
the little war over Cuba, in which he
had borne a part as a soldier. He
should have remembered the made
quacies of our establishment at that
time. We were not in condition for
an adversary of even Spain's size. And
in some of our hurried preparations we
blundered most mortifyingly, and had
to confess the blunders before the
world. Maybe the lessons all are
learning now will inger longer in mem
ory, and prevent a third exhibition of
backwardness. Certainly, for the next
war, America should be fully prepared.

PORK PRICES ARE TOO Low
SAYS THE SWINE BREEDERS.

Chas. Talmadge, president of the
Washington Oregon Idaho Montana
Swine Breeders association, declare that
it costs 23 cents a pound to pro duce a
pound of pork, with barley as the feed;
26 cents with wheat; 28 cents with corn;
in the northwest; with these grains at
the present prices. He believes that the
only hope of stimulating pork produc-
tion here is in furnishing the producer
with market that VIII pay him price
for his pork equal at least to the mark
ct value of his grain. He claims the
Northwestern packers have kept the
price down to basls Of just enough
to prevent the shipment of hogs and hog
products from the east, which means
about l 1-2 cents below the corn belt
market. Until the spread between the
actual cost of production on the average
farm and the present market price can
can be materially narrowed there will be
no increase in pork production other
than required to take care of the natural
wastes on each individual farm.

Lillian Tingle Gives War
Recipes For New FlOurs
SUBSTITUTE oAT AND BARLEY
CRACKERS FOR TOAST = HOT
OVEN AND QUIET HANDLING
NECESSARY

University of Oregon, Eugene, March
9.-How to substitute the new war
flours for the wheat and how to COM
bine them to the best advantage was
the subject of Miss Lillian Tingle g
food conservation lecture in Willard
hall at the University, Wednesday.
GOAT flour is a good bargain even at
Weight cents a pound" she said, ''be-
cause it is particularly concentrated.
1t contains more fat, more nutTitive
value than most other flours. The oat
cake is the staff of life of the Scotch
people,"
Miss Tingle said that one trouble
with the older substitute recipes is
that they are mostly for hot breads.
We are left toastless and "you can It
serve creamed foods with muffins.''
"But you will have good substitute
for toast, she said, "if you take two
teaspoons of baking powder and nearly
teaspoon of salt to every cup of
equally mixed oat and barley flour,
sift and mix, then add tablespoon of
corn oil. Moisten with enough milk
or water to make firm paste that
will roll and leave the bowl clean.
Roll very lightly and cut in toast sized
squares (it conserves the trimmings)
and bake in rather hotter oven, at
first, than wheat flour foods require.
Stand the pans up at an angle to cool
as it makes for crispness
"But above all let nothing delay you
after you have put in the liquid" Miss
Tingle continued, "fnr there is no quail
ity in The new glours to catch the gas
of the baking powder. These crackers
(they really do not crack so they can
not be crackers and they are not sweet,
so they can not be cOokies) may be
toasted for a few seconds and served
under creamed foods or they may be
eaten cold with soup or salad"
Rice flour combines very nicely and
when used with barley makes bread
nearly as white as wheat does. For
pie shells, when used for lemon, cream
or any other separately cooked filling,
they make the best combination.
However, fluffy mashed potatoes
make very good foundation for any
bread, cracker, or pastry, Miss Tingle
declares They can be combined with
any mixture and save the more expen-
sive flour. They also furnish part of
the moisture. But when potatoes are
used in yeast bread the dough must be
kneaded very much harder than for
white flour.
"The big difference in making war
breads and white Breads" she said in
closing, dis that the bread must be
handled very lightly and most be start
ed to bake in much hotter oven. But
when you want another slice of bread
you should eat a potato"
