FOOD PROFITEERS TO
! BE DENIED ALL FUEL
Plan Approved by Garfield and
Hoover, Report. U

: Food Administrator Wilson will
cooperate with the Fuel Admins
tration hereafter in dealing with
profiteering in the District. Ac-
cording to the plan, food dealers
guilty Of violations of the food reg
uiations will be deprived of both
fuel and light by the Fuel Admin
istration. In most cases this would
mean that the business would have
to close.
This drastic remedy will be used
in cases where the penalty would
otherwise be too light to be felt
by the offender. The plan has been
used with much success in Phila-
delphia during the past few months.
Herbert Hoover, of the Federal
Food Administration considers the
plan to be an excellent one, but
should be settled by the local ad-
ministrators.
Representatives OF DR.. Garfield
virtually agreed TO the plan yester-
day. 1t is expected that 1t will be
put in effect some time next week.
Mr.. Wilson. of the District Food
Administration, Is anxious to have
the plan put in operation as soon
as possible.
1t is thought that several of the
dealers in Mt. Pleasant and the
downtown business district will be
the first to feel the effects Of the
new ruling.

Twentyone days before the declaration of war with
Germany he of the signers, among whom

Mr.. Whitley has made various and conflicting
statements as to that telegram 1t remains in judy

Thrift VS.. Fashion.

Women's dress is becoming more and more dis
cussed in connection with thrift and economy. TIL
popularity of uniforms and the question G
the practicability of standardized dress for
business bring forward the question whether cloth
ing in wartime should be cheerful austere.
Woman's, dress may be the expression of an
instinct for display and variety, but in his
attire is the slave of standardized past said
DR.. Jessica Pexotto, executive chairman of the
department of child welfare of the womans
committee, council of national defense. Ger
tainly womeh's dress should be cheerful see
no reason why thrift should sound the doom of
the decorative. It has been said that in the
midst Of the most severe torments woman
and her ornaments are part of her smile 1T

and clothing can greatly aid in giving the feel

Butterfly clothing is very different from
fresh, simple, useful dress such as sports cloth
ing represents. Austere garments do not nee
essarily cloth courage; witness the gay mill
tary uniforms of the past. It is perfectly pos
sibIe to be thrifty and cheerful to wear cloth

so as to Hberate labor now engaged in creating
