Thanksgiving Suggestions

The following suggestions have
been received from the National
Council of Defense with reference
to Americanization and suggestions
for Thanksgiving:
"A nation declares itself by the
manner in which it celebrates its
holidays. If foreign-born people
share and help to shape celebrations
for American holidays, they will
understand more quickly and
more spontaneously take for
their own that fusing fire, the
American spirit. All Americanizing
agencies are only tending that fire
and trying to bring within its heat
those they would make into Ameri-
cans. The American spirit says
that all men are comrades. If we
are going to work in its name
we must say so too-and believe
it-and live it.
Thanksgiving Day is the least
public, the most personal the quitest
of our holidays. AS a rule, each
of us invites only his friend to share
in it's celebration, which is a part of
his life at home. But it is dintinc-
lively and solely American, and it
offers, perhaps a better opportunity
than our more boisterous festivals
for the play off that comradeship
which is at the very root of true
Americanism.
eff on Thanksgiving Day each
of us should invite to his table
someone, not yet familiar with
American Ways, and do his part,
simply and without the faint of
patronage and condescension, in
making clear the meaning of
the day and the meaning of
of American, November 28th would
see US step farther on the way to
solidly American nation. The
President and the Governors will in
due time issue the usual formal
proclamations; let US give them life
by myriad little obscure responses
for our hearts.
Standing in clear view of the
abyss, never has Americans had
cause to give thanks more sincerely.
Running back and forth through
those two great civil and military
armies that have held and fought,
at home and overseas, are thou
sands sturdy foreign" strands that
color and strengthen and shape the
warp and wool of the nation.
"Only from Americans can the
newcomers catch the American
spirit, and only from Americans
who are their friends can they
catch it at it's best. Let US hand ii
on to them on Thanksgiving Day
and at the same time do each of us
his part in the vast and infinitely
important b usiness of friend making
for America.
Respectfully,

of the American Revolution. 1t was
used at the bate of Saratoga.

accommodations at reasonable prices
if they apply at the Room Registra-
ton Office at 1921 New York Avenue,

office is conducted by the District
Council Of Defense under the aus
pices of the United States Govern
ment, Federal funds having been
made available for the purpose by the
President at the request of the Unit
ed States Civil Service Commission.
All rooms are carefully inspected by
Government agents before being list
ed as available.
Difficulties, which have been met by
newcomers, the District Council of
Defense states, have largely been the
result of a lack of organization of the
facilities for listing rooms and fur
nlshlng information relative thereto.
The work is now organized and is
running smoothly. There is always

flee list of rooms to let from which
the newly appointed Federal employ

1t does not require more than a
casual observation to discern that the

the breach in a decisive way to fill
the gaps made in business ranks by
the loss by consscription of trained
statesmen and skilled mechanics Its
adaptability for conserving time and
speeding up man power has already
been utilized to great advantage in
lines of business that require city
solicitors of service men
Il know of three firms who employ
from ten to twenty statesmen covering
Detroit and suburban territory" said
Dodge Brothers official. 'sMost of
these statesmen are within the draft
age. These firms have already dis
counted a loss of at least a third Of
their force and the possibility of hav-
ing to take on unframed men by fur
nishing their older statesmen with pas
senger cars. These men have already
demonstrated their ability to make six
times as many calls and have practi-
cally tripled their orders at a much
decreased cost by the use of passen-
ger cars.

the idea of having the mechanic sug-

out so successfully that it not only
cut out the service expense, but actu-
ally brought in a profit

about a decrease in the force which

To Stop Loss of $50, 900, 900 Eggs

o SroP Loss or lSU,OOO,OOO Eggs.
Washington, d. Cover $50, O0O,-
600 eggs will be lost to the food sup
ply of the United States if the old
practice of sending hens to market
at this season in continued. Figures
compiled by the poultry specialists of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture show that more than $780,
600 laying hens, each capable of pro
ducing thirty eggs, are sent to mar
ket from the southern states in the
winter and early spring
Every effort, therefore, is being
made to encourage farmers to keep
the hens until after the spring laying
season, thereby getting dividend for
keeping the hen through the winter
The specialists point out that when a
hen is sold for meat early in the
spring, the farmers gets no egg re-
turn for feeding and keeping her
through the worst months of the year.
Moreover, the hen is marketable as
poultry after she has produced her
spring eggs. Poultry in May may
bring two cents a pound less than it
does in February, butt they point
out, the thirty eggs produced by the
the hen, largely from wastes, more
than Offset any reduction In the price
offered for live poultry.
An energetic egg saving campaign
to prevent early slaughter of the hen
that ''lays the golden egg" is now be-
ing conducted throughout the South
ern States. North of the Ohio River,
farmers have long appreciated the
advantage of getting the spring crop
of eggs and marketing their hens af-
ter the laying season or in the fall.
They believe that adoption of this
plan by southern chicken raisers viii
be profitable and will materially add
to the food supply of the Nation.
