MADE-IN- GERMANY LIES

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation as
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
ministratiOn.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this cOun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks OF home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti.
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"N0r have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
Of food control.

CORN WILL Win
DEMOCRACyY'S WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to

Americas great corn crop, exceed

worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a state of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion Of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived ON
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
Today there are approximately 80
bushels Of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by FIVE bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as
staple food during the War of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread
Corn bread-using corn meal entire

coming to realize that every pound Of
wheat saved in America means a pound
Of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is assOci-
ated in the war.
There are score Of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead Of
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filed by salad oils,
is appearing Oh the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ Of
the corn.

"The price ultimately agreed was %
cents above these figures, or about one
fifth Of a cent per pound to the Ameri-
can consumer, and more than this
amount has been saved by our reduc-
tion In refiners' profits. If we wish to
stifle production in Cuba we could
take that course just at the time of all
times in our history when we want
production for ourselves and the al
lies. Further than that, the state de-
partment will assure you that such O
course would produce disturbances In
Cuba and destroy even our present
supplies, but beyond all these material
reasons is one Of human justice. This
great country has no right by the
might Of it's position to strangle Cuba.
Therefore there Is no imposition
upon the American public. Charges
have been made before this commit
tee that Mr.. Rolph endeavOred to ben
eft the California refinery of which he
was manager by this "a cent increase
in Cuban price. Mr.. ROlph did not fix
the price. 1t does raise the price to
the Hawaiian farmer about that
amount 1t does not raise the profit of
the California refinery, because their
charge for refining is, like all other re-
finers, limited to $1.30 per hundred

Homes FOR WORKERS
Shipyard Employees to Be Freed
from Rent PIo6teering.

Every hotel, apartment house,
rooming or boarding house or other
structure within reasonable transpo-r
tation distance Of any shipyard build
ing government vessels will be COM
mandeered by the United States Ship
ping Board to house the shipyard
workers. This Communicating will
begin at once, il was announced last
night by the Shipping Board.
Broad authority for such action is
conferred on the board by the terms
Of the S5O.oOO,oOO shipping housing ap-
preparation bill recently passed by
Congress and signed yesterday by
President Wilson.
The bill provides that the Shipping
Board may buy outright the prop
critics selected or lease them for the
duration Of the war The first effect
of this. besides affording more hous-
ing facilities for shipyard workers,
will be to stop the rent profteering
that has been imposed on shipbuild-
ess.
None OF the houses will be turned
back 10 their present holders through
the construction Of new houses from
the $50OO0e9O appropriation. That will
be used only to supplement the COM
mandeered houses The Shipping
Board, however. will pay the moving
expenses OF those who are dispossess-

for them to. make other housing ar

HOSPITAL EXPLAINS
CAMPAIGN PURPOSES
Emergency Committee Shows How
Maintenance Cost Has Jumped.

Proving by actual figures that the
cost OF maintenance was more than
100 per cent greater during the last
year than in 1915, the executive COM
mittee of the Emergency Hospital
maintenance campaign is producing
argument hard to down in announcing
the rea sons for the approaching drive
to raise $4,000.
The campaign will open March II
with luncheon at headquarters, l222
F street northwest, and will continue
until the night of March IS.
In statement issued last night the
committee points out that operating
expenses for the hospital have in
creased from 5000 per month in 1916
to $1,000 in the past year.
Meat bills have jumped from $500 TO
81 800 per month. Drugs have increased
anywhere from 100 to 1000 per cent,
and coal from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton.

Every stitch taken by a Red

OF destiny that is sealing the doom

Such was the emphatic declara-

secretary of the American Red
Cross, I'm the course OF his remarks
at an enthusiastic rally OF the Red
Cross in the Poll Theater yester-
day afternoon.

purpose of organizing an auxiliary
branch OF the Red Cross among
employees OF the Navy Department,
and was addressed by Josephus
Daniels, Secretary of the Navy; Maj.
Gen. George Barnett, Commandant
of the United States Marine Corps
DIR. William C Brainsted. Chief
Surgeon General OF the Navy; DR..
Stockton AXson. of the Red Cross,
and Mrs. Barnett. wife of the Ma

All spoke in high terms OF praise
for the work OF the Red Cross. Mrs.
Franklin d. Roosevelt. wife OF the
Assistant Secretary Of Navy, pre-
sided in the absence OF Mrs. Daniels,
whom illness prevented from being
present.
After indorsing the movement in
strong terms, secretary Daniels
spoke of the navy in the light OF
big family. and said that those
who go down to the sea in ships
are brought closer together than
any other class.
Mrs. Newton d. Baker. wife of the
Secretary of War, rendered several
patriotic selections during the

were passed around for the sigma
ture of those wishing to become
members of the naval auxiliary
branch Of the Red Cross. Several
hundred signed these cards. and the

ALL M. c. SECRETARIES

Practices OF petty graft on the
part of members Of Congress in
having the salaries of their secre-
taries made out in their own names
and then pocketinE the money,
spending only for a local steno-
grapher to take their mail. is
sthrown in their faces in the report
Of The House Committee on Appro-
priatiOns. which provides that in the
future payments will be made dI-
rect TO the clerk employed.
The members of the House have
always resented the implication that
they do not use all of the money
given to them and have defeated
every effort to have the method of
payment changed.
The bill will no doubt have a
rocky road when IT gets on the
