When the young man placed the

that any replies to the advertise
ment be addressed to American

He explained that he had been

fective hearing in one ear. Then
he had sold his business, realizing
enough money to live on for some
time and had come to Washington
looking for a spot where he could

He said he knew Of a place in

ence could be used, but that he

surate with the totality of effort re-
quired II we are TO succeed. The
government Is determined that such
an attitude cannot be permitted to
persist"
The members of Parliament ap-
peared to approve Sir Stafiord's
words, and 1t was suggested by some
observers that, since they felt that
way, they themselves might start
the good work voluntarily by CIV
ing up their big country houses and
automobiles, In which many OF the
weather. ones travel to and fro. 1t
Is also suggested that public serv-
ants and high officers of the service
might begin to absent themselves
from London's night clubs and that,
II the government Is really serious
about the business, 1t might close
some Of those clubs and let their
walters 60 to work in munitiCns
factories.
The key to the situation definitely
lies with the government. While
Britain has its quota of slackers in
all classes Of society people, as
a whole both high and low are pre-
pared to do anything that may be
asked Of them as long as they know
that their privations and sacrifices
are being demanded to some good
purpose.

sure that they have registered for
service and are not absentees from

Another suggestion which will
meet with the general appreciation
Is that nobody shall be allowed to
pay more than q fixed maximum
for a restaurant or hotel meal.
Another Is that restaurant meals
should be rationed as they have
been in Germany for years.
In describing the new policy in
the House of Commons yesterday,

| Britain Faces Period
|0f Greater Sacrifice
In Her War Effort
Rotionine System Will Be
Extended; More Frivolous
Activities to Be Curbed
BY WILLIAM H. sTONEMAN,

Foreign correspondent Of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
LONDON. Feb. 2S.-Great Britain
now faces q period Of sacrifice and
sobriety Of existence far more ex-
acting than the first two and one
half years Of war. when a large part
Of the community tried, and to a
certain extent succeeded, In main
tanning its customary mode of life.
The rationing system is going to
extended to cover many articles
which are still on free sale and
many existing rations are going TO
be decreased. simultaneously, realis-
tic and serious-minded members of
the government are planning to cur
tail many OF the populations more
frivolous activities and to reduce
the number of public spectacles
which are thought to impede the
war effort.
The move for more Spartan way
Of life is dictated partly by the
U-boat campaign which now threat
ems to approach q new peak and
partly by natural reaction to the
grim realities OF the campaigns in
the Far East, Libya and Russia.
On the one hand, Britain Is faced
by actual shortages of certain food
stUfis and raw materials which are
vital to the war effort. On the other
hand, there Is the feeling that the
war effort required of the Nation
cannot be achieved unless every
section of the population is forced
to make every possible sacrifice Of
comfort.
Less Racing Suggested.
So far 1t Is not quite clear what
forms the new policy will take. 1t
Is suggested for one thing that there
shall be less horse racing, which al
ready is strictly limited, and less
dog racing, which, due to increased
wages, has grown to become a ma
tional scandal. 1t Is also suggested
that expensive ringside seats be
abolished at prize fights and that

D. G.. Problems Discussed
Health Aides Stress Needs
Before Voteless League

The increased needs of District
health and welfare services, al
ready strained before war brought
problems of overcrowding, were dis
cussed by health and welfare off,
cials at a luncheon Of the Voteless
District League of Women Voters
yesterday at the Y. w. G. A.
Pointing to some of the dangers
of overcrowding, DR.. George G. Ruh-
land, District health officer, warned
that diseases hitherto rare In the
District might spread throughout
the community. He cited as an
example the possible spreading Of
malaria and typhoid. Malaria, he
explained, could be spread by the
germ-carrying mosquito from per-
sons coming here from infected re-
gions.
DR.. Rutland stressed the import
ance of first aid and home nursing
courses for women, which, he de-
clared, would be in great demand
with professional nurses and doc
tors called into military service.
Each individual home will be bet
ter of also" he added, "for q
knowledge of first aid" DR.. Ruh-
land stated that his ONCE receives
over so calls day from persons de-
string the services of housekeeping
aides and volunteer nurses.
IT should like to see a larger army
of prepared women so that when
the time comes they will be ready
to serve," he said.
Increase in Requests
For Help Expected.
Demands for public assistance will
increase with a growing population,
declared Conrad Van Hyning, di-
rector of District public welfare. In
spite of defense jobs and other
available employment there are still
5000 families on District relief, he
said. Four thousand of these are
old age relief, 1000 dependent moth
ers and 1000 are unemployable, he
explained.
I'VE are going to have many more
people come for assistance" he
warned. There will be families Of
men in the service, and all sorts Of
dislocations in family life will Gre
ate real need for more liberal as
siStance," he added.
Mr.. Van Hyning stressed the i'm
portance of nursing schools for
working mothers. He declared that
facilities for the care of children
whose mothers are employed are
totally inadequate. This condition
will increase as more women enter
defense work, he declared. He also
emphasized the inadequacy Of fos-
ter homes for children. explaining
that the IS q week allowed by law
for the board and room of a child
was insufficient. Persons with avail
able rooms are now able to get that
amount for the room alone, he
added.

delinquents are also needed, Mr..
Van Hyning declared. Adequate
psychiatric services for juvenile de-
Enquents would eliminate much
waste OF time and expense In OBJ
tanning desired results, he asserted.
Tells Social and Medical
Services in England.
What he saw of the social and
medical services Of England while
there as q member Of the Civil De-
Tense Commission were discussed by
Geoffrey May, deputy assistant di-
rector, Federal Defense Health and
Welfare Services.
Bombings and other war expert
ences have shown the English that
social services are in greater demand
than medical services, he said. This,
he explained, is due to the de-
struction Of homes, property and
means Of livelihood among hundreds
of person in bombed areas. Great
Britain has provided compensa-
ton knows as Prevention in week
Of Distress" which takes immediate
care Of such persons, he explained.
Mr.. May expressed the hope that
this county would profit by English
experiences In social relief work.
A brief talk was given by DR..
Martha Eliot of the United States
Children's Bureau, who made an
extensive study in England of health
and welfare services for children.
Much of the prevailing success along
these lines in England has been due
to their advanced health services
before the war, DR.. Eliot declared.
Mrs. Henry p. Chandler, chair
man Of the Government and Social
Welfare Department, introduced the
speakers. Mrs. Eugene Callaghan,
president of the District group, pre-
sided.
In addition to the speakers, honor
guests included Mrs. Harlan Fiske
Stone, wife. of the Chief Justice of
the United States; Mrs. Josephine
Prescott, director of the Public
Health Nursing Bureau of the Dis
trict; Mrs. Horace Wilkie, Miss Gay

basis today by special investiga-

the three-man committee said il

dealers were 10 be commended
rather than condemned. Hearings
