FOR WAR" EMPLOYEES

Fresh air and plenty Of It," Is the
policy of the War Department, and
until further orders the employees of
that branch of the government service
are to take compulsory recess of five
daily as a health measure.
Unless it is raining they are to
spend the recess period out of doors
and in the meantime all of the win
dows and doors of the offices will be
opened and the rooms thoroughly
aired. The largest single group of
employees affected is in the munit ons

21st street, where several thousand
men and women will hereafter take

the War Department employees in the
State War and Navy and other build

The order states that this is "a pre-
cautionary measure against colds and
other forms of sickness incident to

taken to promote efficiency of en-

The proposed extension of Maryland

Purpose of Council of Agriculture.

To the Editor Of The Star:
There seems to be an idea on the
part Of some people that the purpose
of the recently-organized District
Council Of Agriculture is to secure
2Q1O members who will plant back
yard gardens. AS a matter Of fact
there have been from 10000 to 10000
backyard and vacant-lot gardens Gull
tivated in the District during the past
two years and a portion Of the veg
etables for the table Of that number
of families have been produced.
Stimulating home gardening: is but
one purpose of this organization, and
the problem of getting the producers
within a radius of fifty or sixty miles
of Washington in closer contact with
the consumers in the District Is an
important part of the plan of the
work. Before the consumer can get
his foodstuffs at lower prices, and at
the same time the farmer get larger
slice Of the consumers dollar. there
must be a better understanding be-
tween the consumer and the farmer.
The fact that farmers have sold tur-
nips at 30 cents a bushel (as re-
ferred to by Mr.. J. H. Shepherd in an
article in the The Sunday Starr and
the consumer paying $40 a bushel
is due to the system Of handling. In
the first place, the farmer probably
brought in a wagonload Of ungraded
turnipS in sacks or barrels and sold
them to a jobber: the consumer
bought them in quarter-peck lots and
asked that they be delivered to his
door, When the distribution Of farm
products becomes so organized that
the grower can deliver in quantity to
central distributing points. from
which the consumers will be supplied
without extra handling costs, the
problem will be at least partly solved.
We have communities around Wash
ington where foods are being bought
in carloads from the producers and
distributed in suitable quantities to
the homes without loss and with a
minimum Of handling expense.
Back Of 1t all lies the proper or
ganizatfon of the producers and the
standardization Of grade and pack.
By standardization Is meant, first, the
planting Of the same crops and vari-
cites by all the farmers in a given
community, and, second, uniformity
Of grading and marketing. placing
only products Of uniform quality on
the market. Owing to the many haz-
ards under which the farmer produces
crop, it Is impossible for him to
enter a contract guaranteeing deliv-
cry at a price fixed in advance.
tinue to be governed, by the old law
Of supply and demand, and the only
way to lower prices Is to increase
production. The only way to accom-
plish this Is to see that the grower
gets a larger percentage of the con-
sumers dollar.

Chairman Of the District Council of

DUTY OF WOMEN
TO PUSH THRIFT
South Tagging in Saving,
Mrs. Richardson Tells
Committee.

Declaring that America is an ex-
travagant nation and that it is up to
the women of the country to mako 1t
Richmond, Va, addressed the men,
bers of the thrift committee of the
District of Columbia Federation OF
Women's Clubs yesterday afternoon
at the Women's City Club.
Mrs. Richardson said that statistics
showed that the per capita savings In
the south amounted to $26 and in the
north to 5000. She commented on this
difference and said that southerners
would have to keep a closer tab on
expenditures.
The women" she said, probably
cannot address the manufacturers di-
rectly, but we are born propagandists,
and so we can certainly urge more
production throughout the country.
The food administration, after an in
VeStigation. has found that 80 per
cent of the commodities throughout
the United States are bought by
women, SO we certainly have most
active part in cultivating thrift"
Mrs. Richardson also touched on
what she characterized as the ex-
travagance of the younger generation.
She said that ten years ago if club
made plans for a picnic every one
was perfectly content, but that now
it had to be a dance, with the young
men bringing the girls in taalicabs.
and presenting them with q large
bunch of flowers. She said that the
young people of the present day had
no realization of the value of money
and that it was dangerous situation.
Miss Katherine P. Howard of the
savings division of the United States
Treasury Department, also spoke on
thrift
Mrs. Sydney R. Jacobs presided at
the meeting. which was given in CO.
operation with the local Y. NJ c. A,
working with the government. under

ury.

STORY OF "sC00P" TOLD
TO JOURNALISM. CLASS
Frederic W. Vile Gives Incidents
of Americans Newspaper Ex-
perience Abroad.

The story Of SCOOP" which was
scored by an American newspaper
man in competition with English as
soc1ates, at Berlin, previous to the
war. was told yesterday afternoon to
the class in journalism at George
WaShington University by Frederic
William Vile. chief of the Washing
ton bureau of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
Mr.. Vile informed the members of
the class that as American writer's
they could learn accuracy and brevity
from the English newspaper men, but
that the latter could profit emula-
ton of the enterprise of the Ameri-
cans. The scoop mentioned was an
example of such enterprise, for it was
a statement of Mr.. Wile's own expe-
rience in interviewing for an English
paper a British cabinet member on a
visit to a foreign capital, contrary
nalism. The story was written for the
Daily Mail, and paved the way for
Mr.. Wile's years OF service with the
London newspaper.
The speakers subject before the
class yesterday was AN American
Journalists Experience Abroad" He
gave an interesting series of incidents
from his nearly twenty years as a
news writer in Europe, first for the
American press and later as a member
Of Lord Northcliffe's staff. He told the
aspiring college writer's that the pro-
fession, as a rule. did not offer large
salaries, but that it's members were
numbered among the few who were
behind the scenes" in the worlds
great events.
At the Close of his talk Mr.. VILE
answered questions which were asked
by the students. He explained the re-
lation between circulation and ad-
vertising and spoke of the differ
ence in size between the New York
and London papers. Differences in ma
tional ideas Of humor also were
brought out in reply to questions.

CABINET
FOR ITALY LIKELY
Friendship With England and
France Re-EStabIiShed by
Nitti Is Rome'S View.

ROME, January % (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-The Giornale D'Italia
today advances the belief that once
the railway strike is ended all the
ministers will put their portfolios at
the disposal of the premier for a re-
construction of the. cabinet.
Construction of the Italian cabinet
by Premier Nitt, who will choose his
ministers from stronger elements"
is forecast by the Idea Nazionale.
FriendshiD Re-Established.
Newspaper opinion on Premier
Nitti's journey to Paris and London
is unanimous that friendliest rela-
tions have been re-established with
the allies, and that England, France
and Italy can now work together for
the attainment of mutual interests.
The first result of this understanding
is seen in the support given by the
allies of Italy's latest proposal re-
garding the Adriatic question. 1t is
believed here this question will reach
a final solution within a few days if
France and England can make Jugo-
slavia understand it is impossible to
escape from the dilemma, and that
she must either accept the compro-
mise suggested by Signor Nitti or
have the pact of London applied in
its entirety.
Advocates Militant Attitude.
Inc SlOTndle u Italia, however, Ia
vors a militant attitude by Italy. say
ing: Our moment now is most ia
vorable, when America refuses to fol-
low President Wilson's policy; when
in France. policies unfavorable to
Italy fall with Premier Clemenceau
and when England faces complica-
lions all over the world.
After having annihilated the Aus
tro- Hungarian empire, Italy must
now stand ready to bear the pressure
of the southern Slavs, who, however
| are to be feared less than the Haps-
burg monarchy. Owing to the ir-
reconcilab1e rivalry between the two
peoples, we must have a frontier mill
tarily safe, Austria must be effective
ly disarmed and we must solidly es-
tablish ourselves in Dalmatia and in
the islands along the coast. We must
also insist that Albania be freed from
Serbian tyranny. This can be obtained
only by standing on the treaty of
London and leaving the Fiume ques-
ton open, defending at any cost the
right of self-determination in that
city"
