COST OF GROCERIES
COULD BE LESSENED

Cost of groceries can be reduced
to the consumer if Federal Food Ad-
ministrator w. B. Aver will order:
Discontinuance of solicitors;
Adjustment of the delivery sys-
tenn.
All bills to be settled at least once
month.
A charge of per cent on goods
delivered if delivery system is not
abolished.
This proposal has been submitted
to the food administrator office and
the result is being awaited with iu-
terest by grocers, says the Portland
Telegram. Only through an order of
the food administrator can these
things be brought about, for without
q general regulation the grocers will
continue these things in the competi-
tion for business.
Grocers realize that a big saving
can be accomplished in the cost of
doing business and that with a small
er operating cost the price of gro
ceries can be lowered, but no one
grocer nor set Of grocers is willing
to start the ball rolling. Grocers
know that as soon as one store stops
deliveries or makes charge for de-
liveries or effects the other econo-
mics in doing business, other stores
will reach out for the trade of that
particular concern. Therefore in or
der to protect its respective trade
each grocery feels compelled to eX-
tend credit, send solicitors to the
door every morning to take orders,
make deliveries at any time and 9TH
erwise cater to the housewives de-
mands.
Grocers point out that there is less
profit in the business now than for
nerly for two reasons One is that
the high cost of food has caused peo-
pie to give smaller orders and the
other is the regulations of the food
administration which curtail the
amount of certain articles which the
grocers can sell to the consumers.
If women will do their shopping
instead of requiring a solicitor to go
to the door to take the order, and
If the women will carry home the
articles wanted, grocers can save the
salary of at least one man. As it is
almost impossible to abolish the de-
livery system, the grocers would like
to have the food administrator au-
thorize the charging of about per
cent of the bill for this service. Such
articles as are carried home would be
free of this delivery charge and the
charge would tend to discourage pro-
miscuous demands for deliveries.
The 3 per cent, 1t is estimated, will
just about cover the cost of deliver
les.
By adding per cent for charge
accounts, cash sales will be encour-
aged. Thirty days is considered
cash, but many customers wait and
wait and the grocer has to go to the
bank and borrow money at Z per
cent to meet his own bills while the
customer is waiting. If the food ad-
ministrator can or will give an order
that all accounts must be paid by

COLLEGE WOMEN ARE
RAISING WAR FUNDS

Inc raising Oh relleI 1undS ana SUD-
scriptions to the Liberty loan has met
a really tremendous response from
college women. Shoe shining, hair
dressing, making beds, every sort of
work, has its cash equivalent to en-
able the girls to meet their quota of
the funds. In one of the halls at
Wellesley there are signs on every
door, giving lists of the work which
the occupants can do, with prices at
tached. Many of the deans speak
of the way in which students are
economizing this year and diverting
the money spent on luxuries to the
student friendship fund, Red Cross
membership, etc. Salem college has
a unique method of raising funds.
The student body has not incurred
the expense of printing the college
paper, The Ivy, this year. Instead,
the editor reads the articles received
for the usual departments of the
magazine to the students The adj
vertisers have patriotically agreed to
pay the Usual amount for space, and
the advertisements are read also
The complete file of the magazine
thus prepared will be presented to
the college at the end of the year.
At practically every college with
which the committee on public in
formation has been in communica-
tion, there is an active Red Cross or
ganization, either as a separate unit
or as an auxiliary to the local chap
ter. Everywhere, leisure hours seem
to be measured in terms of sweaters
for soldiers and sailors, pinafores for
refugee babies, and bandages for the
wounded. In many colleges a room
has been turned over to surgical
dressings work under the supervision
of trained nurse or one of the fac
ulty who has had the proper train
ing At st. Olaf college, Northfield,
Mimi, 120 out of 260 women have
Red Cross certificates in first aid.
Twenty have received training as SUI
pervisors of surgical dressings, and
the workrooms are conducted under
their charge.
In some colleges Red Cross is not
left to the casual worker but is Or
ganized in military way. The presi-
dent of the "Social Service" at Rock
ford college, Rockford, ILL.,, is the
commanding officer of the organiza-
tion and under her are captains who
have charge of the squads and see
that they give their pledged amount
of time to the workrooms. Reed col
lege, Portland, Ore, has a military
organization for knitting, with cap
tains in charge of 19 companies who
oversee the work. At Randolph
Macon in Lynchburg, Va, the "Soph-
omore Militia" has made 50 pairs of
curtains and 20 sofa pillows for the
Hostess House at Camp Lee. The
Freshman Relief Corps" is complet-
ing 100 comfort kits. At this school
the mattresses in the varing dining
rooms have done splendid work in
helping with sewing done for the
Lynchburg Red Cross chapter. New
York university is installing five
knitting machines for making socks,
and free lessons will be given both
men and women.
Innumerable other patriotic meas
ures have been undertaken. The
girls of almost every coeducational
college, from which such great num-
bers of men have gone to training
camps and the front, provided Christ
mas boxes for the soldiers, and many
have an arrangement which assures

Keeping 4 Sharp Eye ON Sugar.

%
The main activity Of the food adj
ministration at present is the sysr
tematic distribution of sugar among
the industries which use sugar in the
manufacture Of their products. None
Of these are now enabled to purchase
sugar without certificates issued by
Mr.. Parker's office. There is a short
age created by inability to spare
enough ships to import the Cuban
supply. The government, therefore,
determined to conserve sugar and ar
range the most equitable division
among the industries according to
the consumption they had actually
been serving and in relation to their
essentially. The system is working
well and impartially, though it has
cut into the profits of large num-
ber of people All those concerned
were given notice to make returns
as to past requirements, SO that their
allotment under the law could be
figured and granted. A number of
concerns refrained from reporting,
and stocked up with sugar instead.
These will not escape the govern
ment's sharp eye. They may not be
able to replenish their stock, and they
may even. lose their license before
their present stock is consumed.
