available In the fiscal year 10l0-17
from net carry-oyer and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
20O.000.000 bushels OF wheat which we
were able TO export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. This last year, however,
owing TO the large failure OF the 1917
wheat crop. we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
60 Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
These figures, however do not fully
convey the volume OF the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort OF our agri-
cultural population In planting a much
increased acreage in 1917. not only was
there a very large failure In wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and Our corn Is our dominant crop.
IL am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote In
concluding his report, that all the

well as urban. who have contributed

Americas new sugar ration of two

BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma

Each Allied nation--in the matter of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions

Formerly classed as luxury. sugar
Is now war time essential. The fair
and just division Of this essential is
In the hands of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation TO observe
voluntary sugar ration of two

The Fashion


lust what would we do without our
afternoon teas? I'm sure they are the
everlasting excuse in which We take
refuge for wearing our newest and
most coveted afternoon frocks. Wheth-
er Il be at one OF the smart hotels in
town or in the big Outdoors" the tea
is served and the frock is worn. Just
at present the favorable weather con-
ditions permit extensive entertaining
on the lawns and in the wardens OF
suburban homes. What a refreshing
sight! Light, fimsy dresses OF voiles,
batiste. and organdie, which appeal,
oh, so much as the mercury rises.
The Trimmingless Dress.
The other day | was particularly
fascinated with an unusual little de-
sign in delicate tint OF orchid chiffon.
The waist was collarless. with hem
stitching at the neckline and buttoned
az the back The skirt was slightly
draped at the left side. which. by tie
way, is to be a popular fall feature.
The sole trimming and charm OF the
creation was girdle Of three narrow
ribbons in emerald green deep violet
and salmon pink, which formed a loop
bow and long ends at the waistline
where the fulness Of the draped skirt
was caught up
Simplicity, OF course, dominated and
was the secret OF It's successful APP
pearance. But then simplicity always
means success with gown The
youthful frock illustrated is severely
simple, yet for that very reason is a
high achievement in the art of dress
design.
Informal dresses are worn now al
most exclusively and one sees the
formal evening dress only at some ul-
ira extraordinary affair. The existing
conditions have exerted noticeable
influence over the women OF to-day in
the selection OF her wardrobe. For,
indeed the utmost care and discre
ton must be used in the selection of
clothes now To go into the shops
and indulge in fanciful luxuries Is but
a memory. More human things oc-
cupy our time and reflections and
clothes have only secondary claim in
our sentiments.

most essential article OF her ward

wide selection and variety even for

OUR SAVED FOOD
FED The ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presl-
dent America Conserved AL
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN,
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
e44, 100000 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States 10 ship 10 the Allied peoples
and 20 our own forces overseas ILL.,
100000 bushels OF wheat and S44. 600
600 pounds OF meat during the past
year, valued In all at 81 600
This was accomplished in the face Of a
Serious food shortage in this country,
bespeaklng the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administering Hoover in let
ter TO President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up OF the millions of bushels OF wheat
during 1917-1s and the shipment OF
meat during 191l-lS,
The total value Of all food ship
ments 20 Allied destinations amounted
to 81. 100000, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports FOR the
harvest year that closed June 30 1918.
The shipments Of meats and fats
uncluding meat products, dairy prod
ucts. vegetable oils. etc., TO Allied des-
tinations were as follows:

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning OF the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly In hogs; they
were probably less. The increase In
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight OF animals added by
our farmers.

TO bear their best results In the last
half OF the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports TO the Allies were 213, 100000
