ada Made Splendid Record
in War and Acquired
Lasting Habits Of Thrift

In the report Of the Canada Food
Board, just issued, that country pays
a rare and particular tribute to her
women for their part in the conscrva-
ton campaign. The report reads:
Food control here was started with
the message: Remember that the
women are the real food controllers
of Canada.
'To have attempted to control or
distribute the countrys food supplies
without the whole hearted assistance
OF the two million odd househeepers
of the Dominion would have been like
trying to make bricHs without stray.
BY the arts of peace and the prac-
tice Of simple, homely virtues they
rendered service to humanity that
will ever rebound to their credit.
ut would be wcllngh impossible
to mention all the organizations that
have shared in this work. Women,
organized or unor@anized, rose TO the
occasion and did what was needed when

700 French homes; it was the corner
stone OF all that came after.
How Publicity Helped
ITO the newspaper women of Can
ada a special tribute is due. Publicity
has been one of the mainstavs of food
control. rho greatest help .was given
by the women writer's, all of whom
showed initiative and ready spirit
they helped to divert the probler,s
OF the home from humdrum back
waters to the steady stream of live
interesting reading matter.
Women whose services cannot be
overlooked are the household science
teachers. For many years they had
sought 20 improve economic conditions
IN the home and to raise the standard
Of household work. Acting in con
junction with the colleges from which
they graduated, they we're a tremen-
dous force in spreading the gospel Of
thrift. Demonstration done by them
in the provinces was of the greatest
value. They emphasized the saving
of eHportablc foods and the avoid
ance of waste. From the stimulation
given to saving some citizens report a
lcSSeNlHS Ol garbage waste OF between
so and rs per cent of pre-wa amounts.

At the Young Women's Hebrew Asso-

ing shown, there is collection Of
paintings by Mr.. Louis Ritman, a
young pupil of the Ecole des BcauX
Arts, and of Mr.. Richard Z. Miller
He is facile, decorative workman,
with a technique promising that he
may so far. His nudes are we'll drawn.
His studies of figures in gardens are
we'll lighted and have pleasant, sum-
merlke aspect. His method at pres
ent suggests that he is if anything
too Jealous, going on with the null
tiplication of touches after his pct-
ure is finished His color, too, is
little monotonous and cold. That he
has talent, however, is obvious.

NEW RULE FOR ARMY TAXIS.
Important Notifications in Service
to Officers in Washington.

Possibly inspired by criticisms in
Congress, oficials of the Motor
Transport Corps have recommended
important notifications in the Army
taxi service. now in opetation in this
city for the special benefit Of Army
officers in the War Department and
It's numerous branches.
These recommendations call for the
elimination OF service by which those
officers are carried to their offices In
the morning and back to their homes
In the early evening, and a 30 per
cent reduction of the regular service
between the War Depar tIaent and lis
branches.
About 400 cars, with enlisted men
as chauffeurs, are used In this pas
senger service. A largo number Of
trucks also are used for general
transportation. The recommendations
for reducing the passenger service as
indicated undoubtedly will be ap.
proved by the War Department.
