PROF. EUSTACE WRITES OF FOOD ADMINISTRATION. A few notes from the inside of the Food Administration may be of inter est. Everybody in the country knows of Mr. Hoover and the Food Admin istration and probably associate both in their minds with a request to be stingy with one's appetite. This has been a decidedly new request to make of freedom-loving Americans, but in these days everything is new. All the conservation urged has been neces sary and the little that each individ ual has done helped. Save the wheat now is the all important plea. The Food Administration is housed in a "war time" paste board building in Washington; long, low and rangy. Every visitor is kind enough to sug gest how hot it will be this summer. We let our hopes run to the thought that the war may be over before dog days. Cheerfulness helps a lot any way. There are many hundred people in the building—and except for the all been clerical force, they have "drafted"; from that business organizations or colleges. This has brought together a unique group of men; the business men and is, borrowed college teachers can not be distin guished, unless the latter have whis kers. nature All work of a similar is handled for convenience in a "group" or by a "division," but there are not It is only a war any departments. is not time organization and time nor need for the development of "departments." This really means— always be ready for any kind of task. The result is a splendid spirit of help fulness and team work. Everybody is willing to help anybody, nobody hin ders, and the ever present thought is —what might help to win. there In addition to urging conservation of food at times when the need de mands it there are many other im portant affairs the Food Administra the is charged with; such as tion elimination, from the food trades, of speculation, hoarding, extortion and important wasteful practices. The thing being to keep products moving from the producer to the con sumer in as direct a line as practi cable and without unreasonable delay. In my work I am closely associated with Mr. G. Harold Powell—'many of the "horts" will remember him as the General Manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. He was food It may be interesting to know that this quotation is in a prominent place on his desk: If I icere to try to read, much less to answer, all the attacks made upon me, this shop might as well be closed I do the very for any other business. best I know how—the best I can; I to keep- on doing so until mean the end. the end brings me out all If right, what is said against me won't amount to anything.

It was not many years ago that he through college as worked his way "an agent for a laundry". We all know of quite a few good men who the same employ have profited by ment. May the years to come find them as successful and as useful ci tizens as Mr. Hoover. Washington is a busy city. Do not come here on your wedding trip or for any other reason except urgent business. Hotel accommodations are difficult to secure, even at advanced prices. Even a seat in a street car is a luxury. The large number of men in uniform keep the thought of war ever prominent, and the number of French, English, and Italian soldiers in their attractive uniforms, add an interesting contrast to the crowds.
