Washington Wilson has
under consideration appointment of a
Reconstruction Commission TO deVel-
OF a comprehensive program for the
nations conversion from a war to
peace basis. The commission would
be advisory, rather IMAM executive in
functions, and the plans developed
and co-ordinated by it would be car
ried out by existing Government de-
partments and agencies. AS now con-
sidered the commission would be rep
resentatiye of commercial, industrial,
labor, agricultural and social inter-
ests its membership would be small
and 1t would deal with all phases of
the great problem of easing the coun-
try from war to peace. The President
is understood TO be distinctly opposed
ID the suggested plan of having a con
gressional committee prepare a recon-
struction program. He Is said to pre-
fer men who can give their entire
time TO the work, and who have made
special studies of economic and social
problems.
The President is said to be consider.
ing what emergency legislation may
be necessary before the Government
can proceed Systematically to turn all
resources of the country to peace-time
production. How to shut off further
war production without closing plants,
throwing men out of work and cauS-
ing financial strain is the most recent
reconstruction problem facing the
Government. Hundreds of kilograms
of inquiry reaching Government de-
partments disclosed anxiety of bust
mes men over this question, and offer
ed multitude of suggestions for deal
ing with it. As clearing house for
such suggestions the reconstruction
commission would function. Establish
ment of such board was recommend
ed to President Wilson by Prof. o. M.
W. Sprague, an economist, of Harvard,
who has conducted reconstruction re-
search work for the Council of Ma
tiOnal Defense. Government authori-
ties having charge of the placing Of

industries as fast as these curtail their
activities, to other industries where
they can be used at once for recon.
struction needs. War orders will not
be cancelled in wholesale way until
such plan is developed, it is believed.

Early yesterday morning the apart
ment of Howard Crowley, in the Revere,

ing apparel and jewelry valued at s137
and IS in cash. Other victims of the

JUG0-SLAV PROTEST
SUPPRESSED, is REVEALED

A document suppressed in Austria,
said to have been brought to Wash
ington by indirect means" has been
made public by the Serbian press bu-
reau. 1t is manifesto, submitted to
the Austrian reichsrath by DIR. Anton
koroshetz. 1t was signed by thirty
five Jugo-Slav delegates, who demand
ed immediate peace on the basis of
the right of peoples to self-determina-
ton, and the creation of an indie
pendent Jugo-Slav state.
The manifesto opens with a protest
against the refusal of the government
to permit representatives of the op-
pressed nationalities of the dual mon
archy to participate in the Brest-
Litovsk peace conference, and a de-
nunciation of the persecution of Jugo
Slavs, who are declared to have been
slain by tens of thousands without
provocation.
THE so-called constitutions offered
by the monarchy as affording the pos
sibility of further development of the
peoples are a farce" the manifesto
says.
In reality these very constitutions
intrench the German and the Magyar
in their organized oppression of the
proletariat peoples"

Wasteless Meals.

My table sees no wanton waste,
| do as Hoover tells; | eat my
eggs with eager haste, and then
consume the shells. Three times
a day l drop my harp, and hush
its golden tones, and eat my
share OF kippered carp, and then
l eat the bones. But casting
levity aside, since it's in rotten
taste, l take a patriotic pride in
cutting out the waste. We used
to have a garbage can-forninst
the barn it stood-and there the
hired girl often ran. to dump all
kinds OF food. Big chunks Of
steak we failed to eat, she'd throw
therein, kersplash; but now we
take such hunks of meat and
make uplifting hash. For things
in bulk, in days OF old, l used to
blow my pay, and when they grew
a crop of mold, we threw the lot
away. But now I'm careful of the
dime, L buy Just what we'll eat,
say two molasses at a time, one
egg, one grain of wheat. l al
ways save the coffee grounds, and
boil them Der and DER; no wasted
provender abounds back of fmy
kitchen door. The village dogs
that once waxed fat on what 1
threw away, now through their
skins show every Stat, and they
must live on hay. The grocer's
bills have shorter grown, the
butcher feels an ache when he
wraps up cheap soupbone,
where once l bought a steak. 1t
is no faddist's path 1 tread, no
scheme of htful gusts; I gladly
eat my plain brown bread-the
children eat the crusts.

EGGS
SHOULD BE 80 CENTS
Practically, However, the D. C
Price Is SO and No Further Big
Drop Is Expected.

According to all theories eggs should
be coming on the market here at this
time in quantities sufficient to cause
them to sell at below 80 cents dozen
wholesale.
Receipts are unusually light for the
season. Prices instead of being down
to 80 cents are cents higher on the
dozen for choice eggs.
Dealers are now of the opinion they
will stay at that price. They take this
view from the fact that in the coming
month buyers start putting eggs in cold
storage. and they will take all surplus
eggs off the market and thus prevent
the ACCUMULATION of any surplus to
cause lower prices.
There may be slightly lower prices
when steady warm weather comes. but
no further-big drop in prices is looked
for.
