Ruby Lips Are Barred!

Peace will not deprive soldiers and
sailors of the ministrations of the
canteen workers of the National
League for WomeR,s Service. These
will stay on the job during the Pc
riod of rehabilitation, but the men
will see no painted cheeks or lips,
no powdered noses among them
This much was CLEANED at a meeting
of the canteen division yesterday at
the Biltmore, called by Mrs. Dom
Barber. chairman, to decide on the
future of the canteeners.
Some weeks ago Mrs. Barber had
asked the volunteer workers to re-
frain from encarmining their cheeks
and lips. Not, of course. that all or
even very many OF the workers fol-
lowed this vain practice, but a few
did. Her gentle admonitions were
needed for a time and then forgot
ten. Yesterday, therefore, she put 1t
in the form of command, and mill
tary discipline will be meted to
those who disobey.
The reason Mrs. Barber called a
conference to decide whether the
canteen division of the league was
to go on or out was a good many
of the women seemed to think when
peace came 1t let them off from fur
ther work.
The women agreed eRtl usiastical-
ly, and when Mrs. Barber had deliv-
cred her lecture on paint and pow
der they rededicated themselves to
the canteen service and went home.

MUST CUT IN WHEAT
Need for Limitation in Consump.
ton Very Great.
Food Administration corrects False
impression Given by Recent
News Dispatches.

Washington.-Recent press dispatch
es widely circulated through the coun-,
try have given the wholly false impress
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation of wheat and
flour. The food administration de-
ciares that every aspect of the wheat
situation, both present and prospec-
tive, intensifies the need for the great
est possible limitation in the American
consumption Of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should be
in the slightest degree relaxed it would
result in serious want for the people
of Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
The food Administrations estimate
Of the position on the first Of June in
dicates total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms,
in country and terminal elevators, and
mill elevators, of about 100000 BUSH
els. OF this 100000 bushels must
be exported before new wheat is avail
able for export If we are to maintain
the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies. That leaves
about 26,OO0,000 bushels for domestic
consumption for the next two months.
Normal American consumption Is
something over 100000 bushels a
month, SO that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third of normal.
The harvest will not be generally
available in flour until the middle of
August or early September. although
in the extreme South it will be some
what earlier. So long as the war lasts,
with its increasing drafts for soldiers
and munition workers, the world will
steadily produce less food. If we are
wise, great harvest will mean the
willing building up of great national
reserves.
