FOR SAVING Of FOOD
Administrator Hoover Explains to
His Assistants tho Work
Done in Europe.

A new food program, embracing
plans for further wartime cohserva-
ton Of staple food products. was dis
cussed today by Herbert Hoover,
United States administrator, and fed
eral food administrators from all the
states, called here for two-day con-
ference.
Administrator Hoover in a general
way outlined the work accomplished
on his recent trip to Europe. includ-
ing results obtained at meetings with
food controllers OF the various allied
countries.
Wheat and meat regulations, sugar
distribution, price and distribution of
flour, mill feeds. cottonseed products,
and organization, were the principal
matters on which Mr.. Hoover desired
suggestions.
Good reports of. the food saving
effected were brought from all Sec
lions. Some administrators expressed
the opinion that by the public's cheer
full compliance with federal regula-
lions 1t might not be necessary at
this time to make radical changes in
the present system or. require added
restrictions.

WARTIME millinery DEGREES leave nothing to

Of the fall hats Ia their greatest fascination
There arc dashinE "picture" models, clever pokes,
the ever-popular mushrooms, new hats with

demure small effects, There Is notable absence
Of the merely bizarre, which is quite commend

American. designers in setting style standards
for American women.
THE zonber note, so freely predicted, turns
out to be not somber after all, Many dar-

THE trimmings, though sparingiy used, are
L applied in many unique ways. Ostrich
novelties and fancy feathers have the call.
Almost every hat shows touch of ornament
unobtrusive but very effective,

TO SPEAK AT MONTPELIER.
DR.. Lincoln Writ to Talk Under Red
Cross Auspices.

DR. Lincoln Writ, who speaks in Mont
pelier at city hall on Tuesday evening
Dec 3, under the auspices of the local
Red Cross chapter, has been prominently
identified with Red Cross work ever since
the world war began. His activities have
been both here and overseas and he has
made frequent trips to the battle fronts,
the last of his visits being very recently
in company with Secretary Of War Bak.
er.
In his address, DR.. Writ viii tell the
people the story of the Red Cross and
the great opportunities it has for service
and what it is actually accomplishing
the world over The story of the Red
Cross is filed with romances and with
thrills. 1t teens with human interest
1t carries one TO the ends of the earth
DR. Writ will tell how the thousands
upon thousands of refugees have been
saved; how starving hordes have been
fed; how 100000 hungry and homeless
children from the battle zones have been
taken away and cared for as only the
Red Cross can; how men shattered in
battle are reconstructed; how its mis-
sion of mercy links the stricken soldier
with his dear ones at home.
DIR. Wirt's most interesting address is
visualized by number of moving picture
films, showing the various phases of Red
Cross activities, and just how the Red
Cross workers accomplish their trying
and difficult tasks of such diversified ma.
lures. 1t is not at all infrequent for
those who have husbands, sons, sweet.
hearts or brothers at the front, to recog-
nize in the pictures those who are closest
to them, perhaps on the battlefield, or in
hospital, or at one of the canteens.
Lecture and pictures are entirely free
and a cordial invitation is extended to
the general public to attend. Indeed 1t
is not primarily for Red Cross workers,
already familiar with what is being
done, but rather for those who have not
been favored with the opportunity of
fully realizing Red Cross work and Red
Cross needs Not only viii there be no
admission fee charged, but there will be
absolutely no appeal for funds made, nor
will any collection be taken up. Under
the circumstances a capacity house is
assured.
The lecture will be over 50 Barre people
can take the 10 o'clock car home.
Dr. Z. Preston Jones of Boston, field
representative of New England division,
American Red Cross, will demonstrate
first aid at this lecture.
