America Buys Less Food Now
Than In Pre- Ration DAYS
BY BETTY MACDONALD
NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, June Ia Carefully
charted trends in food buying,
mapped out by OPA and the daily
Wartime Food Diaries of thousands
of American housewives kept espe-
cially for government records, in
dictate that the American public is
buying less food now than in pre-ra-
ton days.
Several reasons have been advanced,
in addition to rationing itself. Chief
among them are the facts that
Housewives are conserving their food
and reducing the amount they for
merly ate for patriotic and econ
omic reasons; and that they are
finding substitutes outside the eat
ing patterns they once followed.
MORE CIVILIAN MATERIAL
WOODEN clips" shipped from olive
drab uniform cloth while the pat
tern is in the cutting will be re-dis-
tributed, re-Woven and re-dyed for
civilian use, according to the latest
WPB order. Second hand dealers
may also turn in Army Cd coats to
mills for dyeing and re-Weaving for
civilians. The only clips that Won's
be allocated to civilians will be those
of 20 and 80 ounce weights from
which suitings and overcoating for
the Army are cut. These clips will
be refused by the Army.
PASSING THE BUCKRAM
Off to the war is buckram, used
as a stiffener for betting and other
odds and ends in feminine clothing.
The coarse cotton fabric which usu-
ally serves as a basis for buckram
is being used by the military for
tents and tarpaulins, and by indus
try for agricultural bags. Civilian
allotmentS are available in reduced
quantities, together with the stiff
ener, which is usually an animal
glue.
WARTIME TIPS
Plastic tips are replacing metal
ones for cotton and rayon shoe and
corset lacings.
ODDS M ENDS
More paint will be sold in fibre
body "cans" with metal ends until
experiments for an all-fibre con-
tainer are satisfactory Home

Agriculture are urging housewives to

Green help may not be able to
learn all of the stock in day,
nor learn how to answer the
thousand and one questions that
customers ask.
But green help could quickly be
trained in the right attitude-the
attitude that the customer may not
always be right, but that his wish
to do business is appreciated and
that if he can't be given service
that he be told so regretfully'
1t isn't having to leave his
clothes at the cleaners ten days
that burns a customer up. 1t is
being promised that they will be
ready on certain day - and
when the promise is not kept
having a clerk say, You should
not count on getting things back
on time these days. We're so
rushed and so short of help we
can't possibly get everything done"
ATTITUDE COUNTS
1t isn't being told an article is
no longer available that irritates
customer. 1t is being told so by
clerk who seems happy to be
able to disappoint him.
1t isn't having to stand in line
while others are waited on that
gets a weary customer down. 1t
is standing in line while the clerk
goSsips with a customer, or car
ries on personal conversation
with another clerk.
In short it isn't lack of service
that is irritating to the average

Reaching crisply toward the sun,
these tender seedlings of the sugar
beet illustrate minor revolution
in agriculture which is having
significant influence on our national
supplies of sugar
The seed of the sugar beet is a
ball, or cluster. containing a num-
Der of seed germs. When the seed
is planted, each of these seed germs
sends up a sprout, with the result
shown in the right half of the pic
ture. To permit the proper develop
ment of the beets, it is necessary
to thin each cluster SO that anly
one seeding remains. This is an
arduous task requiring hand labor
Recently, however, it has been
found possible, through the use of
a relatively simple amchine, to

must eat at least one food from

Because margarine enriched with

Boston, June 14-UP)-Cocoa
imports have increased sharply dur

of 1876 per cent over 1912, the United

The service said that since Jan.
