To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS--Str: In
April OF 1918. while the war was still
on. I was In Kansas City, possibly the
largest meat packing city in the coun-
try after Chicago. In the Harvey res
taurant in the new Union Station We
had sufficiently sizable tenderloin steaks
at so cents each. Last May, months
after the war and when practically little
o. no fresh meat was going abroad. we
were again at Kansas City. Going to
the same restaurant. we found that sim
liar steaks were then priced at $50
each. almost double the war price We
ordered English chump chops at 81 a
chop. BY persistent carefulness In sep
arating tho edible portions We were able
to get about i've small pieces of good
meat from each chop, not more. Twenty

New York's Power to Purchase

folks a chance to buy the canned meats

Capt A. A. Stewart, zone surplus
property officer OF the War Department
at 461 Eighth avenue, this city. Is send
ing a circular letter to all Mayors OF
cities in New York, New Jersey ana
Connecticut offering to sell the munici-
palities the surplus OF canned meats, In
not less than carload lots f. o. b. loca-
ton. at prices which are approximately
so per cent. Of the average cost to the

ers of foods for hospitals, asylums ana

The Rev. DR.. Jonathan c. Day. Com
missioner of Public Markets, said sorrow
fully last evening that his department
could not take advantage OF what he
called the Governments splendid oner,
as New York city no longer had the
power TO buy foodstuffs for the purpose
of reselling them. The authority OF the
city to buy and sell food, which was
vested in the act creating the State Food
Commission, ceased June 80. when the
repeal became effective.

The War Work Council Of the

plans to send an industrial commission
of women to England, France and Italy

Miss Imogene B. Ireland, secretary to

and Miss Mary ellison, an authority ON
employment management.
Miss Florence Simms says In re-
gard to the commission: "rhe war
has forced upon us the bearing
OF international relationships in all
things, and our touch with women In
other countries has made us include IN
our international thinking the indus
trial life OF women. The war has
wrought so many changes In this that
it seems timely thing that women in
terested in the larger life of our wo-
men workers should take counsel to-
gether and express their interest with
the hope that certain minimum stand
ards which seem essential to health
and welfare among women may be
agreed upon and obtained
