THE MORNING OREGONtAN 7TIIURSbAY.f AUGUST ' 1 G," 1917:- 12 CANDY EATERS MAY FEEL WAR'S EFFECT Sweetmeat Makers in Port land to Discuss Means of V Getting Needed Supplies. COCOANUT IS MAIN WORRY Manufacturers Will Provide Adver tising Fund to Exploit Food Values of Products and Com bat False Conceptions. The sweet tooth, which so far has seemed immune from the food short age, is ready to feel the stringency. Manufacturers of candy in the West in their annual meeting at the Hotel Portland yesterday spent considerable time discussing ways and means of Betting badly needed supplies from other portions of the world. Cocoanut, for example, is Just now highly prized, according to Secretary Otis, of Seattle. The product is to be had in great quantities in the lands where it is grown, but the shippers and importers cannot get transportation. It is one of the staples of the business. Sweetmeat makers also discussed mays and means of helping Food Ad ministrator Hoover and the Council of National Defense conserve the food upply. Yesterday afternoon they discussed the problems of cartage. Their investi gations disclose the fact that the cost of cartage from maker to dealer and from dealer to consumer la as much as the total freight rates for the whole country's transportation of their prod ucts. They believe that this can be cut down. They also will attempt to educate the people regarding candy and bring to their attention the fact that it is a food of highly nutritive qualities and has as its ingredients only those things which are regarded as the best forms of food under any other name. Also, they will start an advertising campaign which will deal with this phase of their interests and to counter act wrong ideas when they appear re garding - the ill effects of candy on teeth. They point out that candy has nothing to do with the condition of the teeth, but that soft foods merely give trouble in cases where teeth have not been properly taken care of. The Association of Western Confec tionery Manufacturers also heard that the general standard of the West is much better than the East and that the West eats much better candy, made under cleaner, healthier conditions than the East.

TraininoThe o CHILD BY WILLIAM BYRON FO RBUSH,PHX. IF Professor G. T. W. Patrick is right, we parents have the antidote to fu ture wars right in our own hands. By cleverly enough bringing up our chil dren we, shall raise a whole generation that is immune to the war-disease. His theory is ingenious. War is not insanity, it is the most natural thing in the world. The present struggle is the direct outcome of our way of liv ing. We had all become high-tension be ings. Ceasing to live in the open, we had become slaves of efficiency. For saking the ruminant ways of farmers, we were for long hours and continuous days driving our brains by invention, administration and competition. One nation particularly had done all this, under a militaristic organization and with the goal of conquest. That nation broke loose, or rather it relaxed. Its characteristic relaxation was war. War Seen ai Relaxation. War. then, is a kind of play. It is a sort of intoxication. It is an escape from the artificial, wholly mental ac tivities to those that are primitively physical. Men demanded a precipitous change. They slid into the primeval. They revived the chase with an inter national man-hunt. The strange mood of the soldier seems to be testimony to Dr. Patrick's theory. Despite the pangs of' separa tion and the woes of war. the soldier's mood is distinctly exultant. "Out wardly at war. inwardly he finds peace." The fact that the war was the expression of a world-wide need for recreation is made plain by the singular circumstance that it found something congenial even in a London cockney's breast. The Prussian guard was fought to a standstill by a joyous army of clerks, schoolmasters and stockbrokers. The professor sees alternatives. As soon as the war is over the danger is that the world will at once rebound to recover the ground lost by the blocking of industry and commerce. The busi ness organizer will become the new field marshal of the armies discharged from the trenches. Mankind will be keyed up for faster speed than ever be fore, and the old tension will be re sumed, with its inevitable reaction later. To meet this overstrain, pacifism and peace societies will be futile. The only possible recourse is International sport. a world-programme of athletics. which football, racing, the chase and some new variation of the circus shall relieve the pent-up spirits of men whose occupations neglect the body and noid taut the nerves. Safety Valve Needed. But suppose the 'parents of the world should get together. There will be no doubt some governmental world-wide league to enforce peace whose compul sions will wholly neglect the fact that a high-tension world needs something that corresponds to fighting as a safety valve as much as it needs food. Suppose parents organize a world wide league to live peacefully. Let them refuse to educate children for Hustle. Let them scorn to gear them up for efficiency. Forget Germany and go back to Greece. Sell motor cars and learn to walk. Forsake flats and live on farms. Plant schoolhouses in the woods. Celebrate the centennial of Henry Thoreau by getting homesick to be together as a family and find time to live. Such a world, without strain, would not need the savage relaxation of war. It is only a professor's dream. FORMAL organization of the wom an's committee -of the Portland divi sion of the Oregon branch of the Na tion Council of Defense was made yes terday -at a meeting in the Central Library: Mrs. -John F.
