Britisher Willing to Subsist en Short
Ration if That Will Help Win
the War for Liberty.
It really Isn't necessary to tell the
British people notto waste food. There
Is nothing eatable left on the average
plate when the meal is finished. .Meals
are one Interminable round of fish
and eggs, fish and eggs. Eggs are found
disguised under all manner of names,
but, always there are eggs, not seven
times a week, but almost 21 times a
week, writes Chester JI. Wright, mem
ber of t9 American Federation of
Labor mission to England.
Moat is rationed by a card system.
So Is sugar, of which yon may have
six ounces a wee': anil uo inure. One
of the best hotels iu London is serv
ing butter or margarine only once
dally. Many hotels have none for
days at a time.
Desserts are a thing of the p:ist,
recorded in history but not among
the things extant. Milk is rationed.
Ten soon will be. Bread is rationed.
Hotels will serve you with one brown
roll per meal. The average man would
be amazed at the Kritish menu today,
but the British do not grumble. They
go on short rations knowing that It
must be" done, and accept it us part
of the war that must be carried vic
torywards. Even if it were possible to break
the food restrictions the average Brit
isher has not the slightest desire to
get more to eat than his neighbors. '
Especially among the British workers
Is there an obvious grim satisfaction
when members of the American labor
nilssiou and speakers tell How ships
are being rushed to completion In 20
states, and how self-denial by the Brit
ish people in matters of food and luxu
ries make each ton of maximum value

finish.
The British workers realize that
more than half their food comes from
the United States.
"The less food the more troops," Is
the slogan which appeals especially to
the Clyde ship builders, one of wlum
said: "If ships from the United
States are laden as far ns possible with
soldiers and ammunition, then every
bolt we drive Is as good as a ritle shot
against the Germans."

War of the Roses.
The war of the roses that never ends
1 is a war to vanquish beauty with
greater beauty. For long ages, since
history began, this has been going on.
Japan and India, Serbia and Persia
cheered on contestants a dozen centu
ries before Damascus gave to the Cru
saders the damask rose for occidental
culture. "Decisions" nave only tem
porary significance. For example, as
Pans gave Venus the award of beauty,
his namesake city gives southern Cali
fornia the gold, medal, the prize of
honor at the Bagatelle competition.
But California must meet world com
petition In years to come and must
maintain her form or get out of the
running. Rose culture is a progressive
art. , i
As for the Germans, we believe they
were not represented nt Bagatelle. "
That does not mutter much. In this,
its in tneir science, the Teutons are
rather imitators than originators. True

Oregon Agricultural College, Nov.
12. A movement so to change the
box apple grades that certain Oregon
fruit in first and second classes will
be thrown into the. lowest grade with
serious loss to the erowers. is now on
foot. The United States department' wrltten to many
of agriculture Is leading the move
ment, which has for its purpose
unifying the apple grades and lower
ing the number of classes.
"There is no wish on the part of
the government men to Injure us in
any way," asserts Prof. C. I. Lewis
of the Oregon Agricultural College,"
ent in more arid districts where
fungus troubles are not serious.
"I am sure we want In cooperate
in the movement to standardize the
grades and we want to see our In
terests protected. We want to see
that Oregon growers have a grade
that will enable them to make as
much as they are making now, and
perhaps a little more. Strictly I am
in favor of uniform grades and gov
ernment inspection' but I d;j not
want to see them brought about until
thrashed out thoroughly."
Four thousand questionnaires
have been sent out to northwestern
growers and dealers, and the answers
wili be considered at the Spokane
apple growers' convention, December
I 10 to 13. Professor Lewis has
Oregon growers
urging them to see that their in
terests are represented In this con
vention. He will attend and take
part In the discussions.

One of them, whose patriotism was of
the right kind, returned his question

do you waive exemption?' I asked him.
'Oh, yassah, boss, yassah. Ah'll wave

Ah'll show you whether Ah kin wave

Another, says Mr. McCord, wrote In
his questionnaire that his allowance
to his wife was $100 a month.
"That's fair enough," I said. "Let's
see how much do you make?"
"Ten dollahs a week, boss. All's a

"Ten dollars a week, eh? Then
you shoot craps."
