nut EI6UGH FATS FOR
some YEARS TO CONE

stanton, va. Dec. 1.-THE world
balance sheet OF food products shows
a shortage Of three billion pounds of
fats and three million tons of high
protein dairy feeds. Among fats are
included pork products. dairy pro-
ducts and vegetable oils.
The world shortage Of fats Is ex-
planned by Mr.. Hoover as due
primarily to the fact that Europe has
been steadily nder-feeding its dairy
herd. has made steady inroads into its
herd Of hogs during the war, and to
the fact that there has been a great
degNneration In the production Of
vegetable oils in certain regions owing
to the inability to secure shipping"
According to food Administration
calculations. even with our supplies
and best efforts. the world will be far
deficient In It's normal amounts of fats
for two or three years at least.

Ia Not to Disband for Long
90 TfvtNo

New York Dec. 1.-THE several
hundred thousand women who have
been organized In the United States
for war service by the National
League for Woman's Service will not
&isband, or return 10 their home life,
sbcfAl duties or other occupations
which held their interest before the
days Of volunteer women war work
ers This has been definitely an
nounced by Miss Grace Parker. ma
tional tommandant Of the league, to-
gether with q tentative program OF
work to he carried out by members
of the league while the army. navy
and war industries ara demobilizing.
The National League for Woman s
Service was one of the first volunteer
women's war organizations. 1t was
organized over two months before
the United States declared war. On
February L. 1917, the first branch
was opened for active work in New
York city. When war was declared,
several thousand women already had
been registered and prepared through
THO branch. and many other branches
were springing up in every part of
the country. Today the league has
membership OF over 100000 active
workers in thirty nine states. Its
divisions of service include canteen,
economics. voluntary aid, camoufiage
and general service.
According to Miss Parker, many OF
the women OF the league who,
through their war work for the first
time have found an interest in life
outside OF themselves and their
homes. will not be content to go back
to their former manner Of living.
mo woman, though, should con
slider war work at an end as yet.
said Miss Parker The work of the
women will not be completed until
the last man is brought back from
France and returned to his home.
Fer the present there will be no
change in the work of the league.
The social and welfare division will
keep all the fifty-six service clubs
throughout the country on better
and more efficient working basis than
ever to accommodate the men being
demobiIized The league feels that
1t wants to put into some kind OF
of the sacrifices of our soldiers, sailors
and marines; and to do that we are
going to perpetuate as Il memorial

service which was opened in America.
