Federation of Women's Clubs President
Reviews Her Trip To Great Britain

While expressing great admiration
for the British system of communal
feeding, through which three-course
meals are served for the equivalent
of % cents, Mrs. Whitehurst added:
Frankly, I hope that procedure is
never necessary here. l would dis
like seeing the American home fur
Their broken up, by sending all mem
bers to the restaurants for food. In
many homes meal time is the only
opportunity for all members of the
family to get together. Britain had
to feed its people that way during
the air raids and afterward, due to
the lack of food, fuel and manpower,
but 1 hope this nation may never ex-
perience the struggles, deprivations
and blitzing that the people of Bri-
tain endured"
Although Mrs Whitehurst did not
come directly under fire, she was in
Plymouth when the anti-aircraft
guns were fired during the night and
slept behind blacked-out curtains

said:
'It was an incredible sensation
The house swayed. The harbor was
alight with gunfire and 1 was on the
harbor, seven minutes from the Nazi
air base.
'The noise was so tremendous
that l stood rooted to the spot, not
knowing what to do. l could hear
our bombers overhead, and then ]
waited the whistle and thud OF
bombs. Fortunately they did moi
fall
Imagine what the British peo-
pie faced in this small city during
the 81 raids, when in addition to my
experience, there were bombs
crumbling buildings and fire in al
parts of the city"
Mrs. Whitehurst was ahame with
enthusiasm for the gallantry anc
spirit of the British people:
During my entire visit l did not
hear one word of complaint from {
British person. The British are de.
termined to win the war and the
peace, if they have to give up every
material possession. 1t is dificul+
for an American living in this lane

restrictions, to understand what the
British have already given up, anc

To test an egg for freshness, place
it in glass of water. If the egg
falls to the bottom of the glass and
lies on its side, it is fresh egg; if
the large end rises slightly, the egg
is somewhat stale; if it stands on end
or floats, it is very stale. The shell
of a fresh egg has bloom; that of a
stale egg is usually shiny. If the
contents of an egg rattle when it is
shaken, it is not fresh.

Washington, D. c., September g
''The only hope for the future is
in world cooperation" said Mrs.
John L. Whitehurst, president of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs, composed of two and half
million club women, as she returned
to her Washington Headquarters,
after spending five and half weeks
in Great Britain as a guest of the
British Government.
when you can traverse great dis
tances from one continent to the
other within few hours by plane,
as l did, you are forced to drop all
ideas of isolationism.
'The people of the United States
have devoted too much of their time
in the past thinking about domestic
problems. They must devote more
time to the study of the economics,
customs and geography of other
countries. One country cannot set
up for itself Garden of Eden and
let the people of the other countries
starve without creating more social
unrest and wars.
I'VE should cast out all the maps
in our geography books and substi-
tute the polar maps which show the
true geographical relationship in
the present aviation era"
Mrs. Whitehurst spent much OF
her time studying nursery schools,
communal feeding, and women in
industry. She said, eff we are to
place an additional one million wo-
men in industry without conscrip-
ton, l believe that places must be
provided to take care of the chill
dren. England met this problem
magnificently in the emergency
largely with volunteer help in vari-
Gus private homes - but from my
contacts with women in all parts OF
our country, l am convinced that
many of the women will be reluct-
ant to go into industry on that basis
Therefore, l recommend that nurs-
cry schools be set up, with trained
workers, or as part of the student
curriculum for the teaching OF
homemaking and mothercraft in all
of our elementary school systems
Women will go into industry, with
out consumption, if such service is
provided"
Mrs. Whitehurst regrets that she
could find no utopian solution to the
juvenile delinquency problem "The
increase in the arrests of girls ir
this country, less than 81 years last
year, was 106.5%. / found that ir
England the increase was 1921. The
only constructive suggestions, after
spending much time in juvenile
courts and with probation officers
is that all experts in the subject
agree that too much money is spent
for correctional problems and no
enough for prevention. If we were
to utilize some of that money fol-
healthful recreational activities, we
could prevent many young persons
from joining delinquent ranks"

Waterless cooking of fresh vege-
tables is any process in which no
water is added. The water in the
vegetable itself does the cooking. A
thick-walled kettle with tight fit
ting lid is the necessary equipment.
Very low heat is used, and the vege-
table is tender in very short time
because neither heat nor steam
escapes. No minerals are lost and
the loss of vitamins is almost as low
as in baking.

Cheese has an important place in
the dietary, for it keeps well, it is
concentrated food, and ordinarily it
is an economical one, at least when
compared with other animal foods.
One pound of cheese represents the
fat and protein of a gallon of milk.
1t is one form in which a surplus of
milk may be stored satisfactorily
and cheaply.

To prepare mushrooms for cook

Celery curls are made from the
tender inner stalks. Cut in lengths
of two or three inches and slit in
narrow strips almost to the end.
Place in water with plenty of ice.
AS the slit stalks chill, the ends curl.
When arranging salad, the let
tuce leaf should have the stem end
cut off so that this ragged part does
not hang over the edge of the plate.
Care should be taken that the gar
nish is carefully placed. Place the
salad on the lettuce leaf carefully SO
that it will not fall apart and spread
ungracefully over the plate. No part
of the salad should extend beyond
the edge of the plate.

Stevens and Congress
Hotels Use Studied
Army May Return Them
To Private Ownership
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Evacuation
of the Congress Hotel by the Army
Air Forces Technical Training Com
mand progressed today, but whether
the Congress and the huge Stevens
Hotel would be returned to private
ownership still was under study by
the War Department in Washing
ton.
Capt. A. F. Bement, public rela-
tions officer of the technical schools
using the two hotels, said transfer
OF personnel and classroom activities
from the Congress to the Stevens
had been under way for several
weeks and probably would be COM
pleted by the end of June.
He said. however, that disposition
OF the Congress was a matter for
decision in Washington.
War Department officials have in
dlcated that the entire matter of
hotel usage by the air forces. princi-
pally In Chicago, Atlantic City, N. j.,
and Miami Beach, Fla. was being
reviewed and that any decisions
would be announced in the Capital.
One speculation here was that
development Of training camps for
the air forces technicians had now
caught up with the number of men
IN training, leaving the leased hotel
facilities probably as an unneces-
sary expense
The Army leased the Congress and
bought the Stevens for $4,000 900
and took over August /, 1912. The
Stevens, known as the worlds larg-
est hotel, became unit l, and the
Congress, unit 2. Of the Air Forces
Technical School.

On Handouts Landon SAYS

BY the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kans., June l6.-Alf M.

nee named two fatal traps" which
he said must be avoided to build a
stable world.
First, We are approaching the

involved in an old-faslJ oned camp
meeting hallelujah way.
Second. We are assuming in our
thinking that we are solely respon-
sible for the kind of world we will
live in and do business in"
Mr.. Landon said missionary So
cieties learned long ago that the
way to help people was to teach
them to help themselves.

Senator Byrd. Democrat, OF vir-
ginia yesterday charged Wash

against what he termed North Caro-

Virginia's motor fuel supply.
Mr.. Cummings wrote Senator
Byrd that daily our streets and
highways are lined with cars from
North Carolina, and I am told that
should one go to Virginia Beach, he
would think he was in North Caro-
lima by the number of automobiles
from that State.
People from North Carolina get
gasoline books there, drive into Vir-
ginia and exchange their coupons
for our precious gasoline, and lust
drive wherever they please and there
is nothing we can do about it." Mr.
Cummings wrote.
I'VE are now called upon to prose-
cute and penalize our friends and
neighbors for minor violations of the
pleasure ban. when daily our streets
and highways are lined with cars

.0PA Executive Saws
Price Control Should
Terminate After War
The Sooner 1t Ends the
Better, Haley Tells
House Subcommittee
BY the Associated Press.


DR.. Bernard F. Haley. ONCE OF
Price Administration executive, told
a House investigating committee
yesterday that "the sole purpose OF
OPA is price control and the sooner
it can be terminated after the war
the better"
His statement brought this reply
from Representative Hallack, Re-
publican, of Indiana, committee
member, IF OPA would stick to
price control !" =" I think we would
get along better"
DR.. Haley, under prolonged ques-
tioning of the subcommittee looking
into the scope of OPA activities,
said he believed the agency has
pointed all its actions at price con-
troll.
He told the committee, "Con-
servation of materials and stand
ardization in themselves are not
OPA objectives, but 1 don't believe
price control is possible without
Standardization.
Rule Made Hastily.
DR.. Haley, chief of the OPA's tex
tile, leather and apparel division,
told the subcommittee the latest
rayon hosiery regulation was pre-
pared in haste and might be altered
after further research.
The order has been protested by
rayon hosiery manufacturers who
contend they can't produce quality
hose at the prices fixed.
Acknowledging that OPA had by
passed Price Control Act provision
for taking data in the nearest two
week period in which representative
prices could be obtained, the witness
said he believed the provision was
"a guldepoSt" and wasn't meant to
be "a straight jacket"
DR.. Haley defended OPA's method
of computing cost data and the
agency'S conclusion that hosiery
could be sold to retailers at an aver
age of $3.50 a dozen when prices
on some brands had been over 50.
Under questioning by Mr.. Halleck,
DR.. Haley said he felt brand names
perform an important function in
our economy" and that he consid-
cred their elimination would be a
loss"
Answering the statement of Rep
resentative Brown, Republican, of
Ohio, that the OPA executive in his
testimony before the committee had
charged that certain hosiery manu-
facturers had sought to evade OPA
price regulations by bringing out
new lines of lower quality or higher
price, DR.. Haley said he had not
meant to give ANY such impress
SION" He gave no names of hosiery
manufacturers.
DR.. Haley said OPA was either
planning or considering future ac-
ton on the price and quality of
mems work shoes, work trousers,
work gloves, pajamas, underwear
and dress shirts. He said the agency
was discussing with WPB the de-
velopment of war model in shoes.
He said women's apparel also may
come in for attention, naming nom
knitted underwear and fall outer
wear as under consideration for a
price order"
