THlRTY women with a gallery
OF newspaper men, were wait
ing for the midnight buses to
pull out from the Hotel Manhattan
last Monday night for might of
it, at the food terminals and mar
kets. One motherly, capable-look-
ing woman, with mirthful eve, was
approached by a reporter hunting
for real woman stuff" isn't this
a pretty unusual experience for you
women?" he began, tentatively. at
IS for me-" said the Lady from
Staten Island briskly. ~ haven't
been up all night since my last
teething baby" Got one myself,
right now" said the reporter sadly,
and the entente was established.
The women want to know about
this food price business, and they
are firmly convinced that they can
not help to cure the disease until
they can diagnose it. Hence the
midnight trip to market and docks
to find out how foods are handled.
The "get-together" idea is gath
erlng force as the only way in which
the women who buy and the men
who sell can understand one an
others rights and wrongs and begin
to Go some really constructive work
to right matters. This conviction
led Herschel Jones, director of tho
New York Office of the State Divi-
sion of Farms and Markets, to plan
the trip.

Pioneer Spirit
Shown

A pouring rain DISCOURAGED no
one. Gansevoort Market was reached
about 5 so a. m. in a deluge Of rain,
Some OF the women Immediately de-
scended from the bus and proceeded
with the investigation while the
men sat back under cover and said,
cheerily: well, these women GER
tainly are dead game sports.'
Indeed, two especially adventur-
Gus spirits, Miss Isabel Ely Lord, of
Pratt Institute, and Miss Sadie
American, ventured SO far into the
dark recesses Of the market that the
bus went off without them, and
they were picked up two hours later
at the Fulton Fish Market, after
many and sundry adventures with
'crosstown trolley cars and well
planned descents upon different
points Of the schedule. Our Revo-
lutionary grandmothers might have
killed wolves in their own door
yards, but we doubt if they would
have deliberately pioneered in
Gansevoort Market in a pouring
rain at q. m. to find out the
why's and wherefors" of anything.
These women and others like them
are going to help" solve the food
problem when they get their feet
we'll under them and know what
they are talking about, and it is not
easy to fin out General antago-
nlsm and irritability, aimless shoot
ing of the ''protiteer" arrow, and in
artlculate grumblings of discomfort
can be changed to intelligent crit
cism and constructive demands only
by education. They know it.
Miss May Van Arsdale, of Teach
ers' College, who is the only woman
on the council of the State Depart
ment Of Farms and Markets, and
who did yeoman's service in the
food ranks during the war, is not
serving a novitiate on food matters
by any means. She has brave hopes
of the efforts that Dr.. Porter is
maturing to bring committees Of
consumers and producers in New
York State together for conference.
mutual understanding, and the max
ing of plans for mutual relief"

Why Staten Island
Pays High Prices

One truck marked "Staten Island"
drew the fire Of Mrs. Wilcox, of the
Federal Fair Price Committee, who
hailed from that section. "There it
IS" she said, wrathfully, "our own
Staten Island stuff carted way over
here, and we have to pay two prices
for it when it comes back again.
Will they have local market?
They will not. The farmers are
under agreement not to sell to US
direct. We had little market and
the retail stores made such a fuss
it was discontinued
THAT seems outrageous" vent
uted meek reporter. "Why has
the scandal been allowed to sleep?"
ooh, there are reasons even for
that" chimed in Director Jones.
The Staten Island demand is linn
tied, and the farmers prefer to bring
their goods to market and sell them
all at one fell swoop rather than to
be all day at it, and perhaps have
some left over. But an estimate Of
the local demands and a concerted
effort to take town lot and estab-
ish local market ought to result in
improved conditions for both sides.
The local office Of the State Division
of Foods and Markets will be
squarely behind any such move
ments."

The association wishes the coin to

portrait Of the late Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt
The Women's Roosevelt Memorial
Association was organized to pur-
chase and restore the birthplace Of
Theodore Roosevelt. The restored
building will be known as Roosevelt
House, and large endowment fund
will be needed in order to establish
there permanent school of citi-
zenship.
The first step taken in regard to
the proposed Roosevelt two-cent
piece by the Women's Roosevelt Me-
mortal Association was the following
letter to the Hon. Carter Glass, Sec
rotary Of the Treasury:
In bringing to your attention
the Women's Roosevelt Memorial
Association you will understand
why we are urging the creation of
new coin to be struck, not only
in memory of the late Theodore
Roosevelt, but also to meet the I'M
usual situation created by the
present grades Of prices.
During these postwar days the
penny plays a substantial part in
the housewives pocketbook, so sub
stantial, in fact, that many women
find themselves overburdened with
a superiority of small change.
The penny has come to stay
but it seems to us that your de-
partment might greatly benefit us
and appreciatively reduce the
amount of copper one-cent coins
by the recreation of a two-cent
piece. Deeming this both efficient
and practical, we have no hest
fancy IN urging the innovation Of
Roosevelt two-cent piece to bear
on one side bas-relef portrait
of the late Colonel Roosevelt,
similar in general effect to the
Lincoln penny.
The Women's Roosevelt Me-
mortal Association, as represented
by US, urge that you give this sug-
gestlon your serious consideration,
as it will not only be well-de-
served honor to the memory of
Colonel Roosevelt, but relief Of
the congestion of the small one
cent coins and great boon to the
pubic at large.
EMILY V HAMMOND,
(Mrs. John Henry Hammond)
President Women's Roosevelt Me-
mortal Association.
The acting director Of the Mint
replied that Mrs. Hammonds letter
and suggestion were much appre-
ciated. He added, however, that
the matter was entirely dependent
upon the will of Congress. Women
OF the association gave out the
statement that they were satisfied
that interest was being shown in
regard to the proposed coin

Educational institutions of Amer

the class of 1887.
The burden has been assumed"
said Mr.. Smith. 1T must not be
dropped until the goal is reached.
Failure to meet that goal is too
great danger. 1t means failure for
Harvard which has not failed in
three centuries. 1t means failure for
American institutions and educa-
ton. Education is the light which
must illuminate the darkness into
which the supporters of all these

was convinced that nobody would
discharge such duties more thor

Paris, Nov. l4.-The peace con-
ference now is devoting much of
its time and effort to the question
of Poland's eastern and southeast
ern frontier. .
The problem of what to do With
eastern Galicia remains unsolver
The present status of the country
approximates that of a Polish pro-
tectorate Professionally administered
under the authority of the big
FIVE"
Contrary to the general impress
sion, no official promise has been
made that this territory will revert
to Poland if plebescite so decides.
The fact is that no plebescite has
ever been agreed upon. While the
members of the peace conference
admit that more that one-half of
the Galician population IS related
by blood to the Polish nation, they
look for trouble in the event that
Poland takes over the country
without obtaining Russia's consent.
= British opinion favors a coatinu-
ance of the present status for five
years and a plebescite thereafter.
The American delegates oppose this
view, fearing it will lead to trouble
with Russia when that country re-
covers political stability. They
propose, instead, to give Poland
the mandate over Galicia until such
time as the league of nations is
able to settle the question between
Russia and Poland.
The Galician question is typical
of the multifarious problems still
confronting the peace conference, a
year after the arinistice was signed.

The best obtainable estimates. ac-

on the same figures, the present

Paris, April 15.-That Cupid was
nearly as busy as Mars with members
of the American Expeditionary Force
and that romance p1oomed in France
in spite of wars alarms is shown py
the fact that more than six thousand
French women have been wooed ana
won by American soldiers WITHIN one
year. The majority of the Frehch
girls who have become Americans
through marrying men and onlcers
of the American Expeditionary Force
are stenographers. salegirls or teach
ers, with a sprinkling of peasant
girls and those of the middle class
or bourgeoisie.
The romances are in most cases
very similar. A soldier would be bill
leted with a French family a mem
ber of which would be a girl of mar
riageable age. Together they would
delye into the intricacies of the
French language, sign language be-
ing promptly suspended by a com
bination of Anglo French tbberish.
The clean cut, healthy physique of
the Americans, their politeness and
generosity would appeal to the heart
of the French girl who saw in the
American the realization of her
dreams. As a rule. the Americans
also made no secret of the particu-
