Swat Violators of the Food Regulations This community has spoken in emphatic terms against the pro-German. Now let public, opinion turn its searchlight on the violators of the food regulations imposed by the federal administrator and voluntarily assumed by the nation. ' The "food conservation" cards displayed in many dwellings of this city are no longer pledges of food abstinence but positive declarations that the people who reside in the house are not telling the truth. If every pledge card signed last summer by the people of the United States had been kept, if every housekeeper and her family had observed meatless and wheatless days, the government would not find itself confronted with a serious condition today. We are not saving enough food to win the war. Food Administrator Hoover has called on the country to restrict its consumption of wheat, meat and fats. This is our last chance for voluntary co-operation in food saving. The next step is the enactment of legislation by Congress which may send a violator of the food regulations to jail for six months, or pay a fine of $5,000, or both. Our failure to comply with food regulations after we had signed the pledge and given our word of honor does not speak well for our loyalty or our character. It proves that many of us are hypocrites. Some of us shout against pro-Germans and yet we are as bad as these men and women, for we are wasting the food our soldiers and allies need to help win the war. j

with appetites that lord it over us in such tyrannical manner that we cannot forego meat and wheat. Uncle Sam is worrying about our appetites and not about the patriotism of the dealers, for most of them, the country over, have attested their willingness to abide by federal regulations. The restaurants, hotels and dining cars have made a much better showing of patriotism than the individual citizens have. The managers of these eating places have arranged their menus in accord with the government's request. In the months of November and December they saved 30,000,000 pounds of meat and 20,000,000 pounds of wheat. The failure of the private homes to obey the mild regulations of the first order has brought about the second order and will ultimately result in the enactment of a compulsory measure.

Conquest and Kultur "Anybody who knows the present state of things in Belgian industry will agree with me that it must take M least some years assuming that Belgium is independent at all before Belgium can even think of competing with us. in the world market. And anybody who has traveled, as I have done, through the occupied districts of France will agree with me that so much damage has been done to industrial property that no one need be a prophet in order to say that it will take more than ten years before we need think of France as a competitor or of the re-establishment of French industry."

How German U-Boats Deprived New York "of Coal

From American Review of Reviews.

LL explosives generate an enormous amount of gas.

High explosives generate an extra volume of gas; a cubic inch of water expands into a cubic foot of

steam at atmospheric pressure. This is 1,728 times the volume of the water. When a depth bomb is exploded under water, the gas causes enormous pressure in all directions. What gives way? The water between the bomb and the surface is pushed upward, is thrown into the air until the gas can escape. But if a submarine is nearer to the exploding bomb than is the surface, it is

Psycho-analysis is the latest fad. It is having a run in our neighborhood. It is more violent than Rabindranath Tagoritis. And more subtle than Billysundayitis. It enables the wives to read the minds of husbands, right through the solid bone, and to analyze the thoughts found there. This is just a warning, that's all.

and loyal in action. His loyalty doesn't stop with singing "The Star Spangled Banner" but manifests itself in a cheerful obediance to the food regulations of his country, and other restrictions that may be imposed. It's disconcerting to the morale of our good loyal citizens to discover that hundreds of families in our own city, with the food pledge card prominently displayed in the front room window, eat meat on meatless days and consume wheat on the interdicted days. Thousands of violations of the original program of the food administration have resulted in the new regulations that went into effect this week. What remedy can be prescribed for the violators ? We believe that the vigilance of patriotic neighbors ought, to be invoked. Let them report all violations they detect to the county food administrator. That official is clothed with power to act.

escapes, water fills it, and it sinks. We all remember how, last spring, the U-boats used to rise, train their 3inch and 6-inch guns on their victims and either use no torpedoes or complete by gun-fire the destruction begun by torpedoes. For a while they had an easy time. Time and time again one torpedo was not enough. Then the convoy system began. Vessels no longer browsed over the sea like silly sheep, the prey of every wolf, but they were herded by the swift destroyers. The U-boat, even if it found itself in the path of a convov. no

longer dared rise,

had to risk a single torpedo shot, then dive as fast as possible. Even if the vessel was struck it was often only crippled, propeller damaged, engine stopped or some compartment leaking. It was perceived that if these cripples could be towed to port they and their freight would be saved. We are now getting nearer to the cause of the coal shortage in New York. To tow the cripples to port ocean tugs were needed. Ocean tugs called from our Atlantic coast became part of the convoy. We have all heard much of the necessity of building ships fast and well, but the ocean tug saved ships already built, loaded, and near

N ANY endeavor of a public nature there should be a worklng-togetner

spirit the entire community should be represented. This Is particularly true in any movement for the production and conservation of food. i There is no large city and not many small towns but what have a

Chamber of Commerce or Commercial Club, and these organizations can da much to bring about the co-operation of all interests of the community. But the Commercial Club that hopes to make a success of such a movement must establish and maintain cordial and co-operative relations not only wltb the people of the city or town, but with the residents of the farm community In its trade territory. This can best be done by admitting fanners to member ship in the' club.

Undigested foci delayed In the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left In the open air. says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyperacidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric ac-iJ in the stomach, which prevents complete digestion and

starts food fermentation. Thus every-

dld work has been accomplished. This makes it possible for business men to meet other business men, fot, farmers to meet other farmers and for business men and farmers to meet each other and discuss problems of common Interest to all to plan campaigns and. co-operative work which never could be accomplished without the joint effort of both town and country. What Can Be Done. Such nn organization can successfully conduct important movements foi the good of the community, the state and the nation. Here are some suggestions: Food conservation by canning, drying and storing. Organization ,of calf, pig. corn, poultry and sheep clubs. Home and vacant lot gardening campaigns. .Campaigns to eradicate hog cholera. Securing of a county agent or farm advisor. :-- . Building of better roads. Improvement of dairy herds by means of cow testing associations. Encouraging sheep raising by getting rid of the dog menace. Proper harvesting, selection, testing and storing of seed corn. Treating of oats for smut. Diversified farming and crop rotation. Growing of alfalfa, sweet clover and other legumes. Home ownership for every family. Better schools and more practical edncatien.

25,000 German Aliens Get Registration Blanks NEW YORK, Feb. 6. Registration and finger printing of male aliens of German birth above the age of fourteen continued today at police stations at a rate that was pleasing to officials. Of the 62,000 German aliens In New York City, according to the police census, at least 25,000 obtained blanks yesterday. There has been no disorder here so far, although some of the aliens at first objected to finger printing.

Public opinion in Richmond ought to mani- because, as we have found out, it takes years to build an

violators of the food program, for they are striking at our war efficiency with the same deadly intent of pro-Germans and pacifists. There is no difference between the classes. A pro-German and an American violator of food regulations ought to be severely punished. Stories are going the round here that in some streets, housewives openly buy meat from wagons for consumption on meatless days. Some have suggested that butchers and bakers be prevented from selling meat and wheat bread on the days that call for their omission from the table. The federal food administrator had faith in the -American people, believing that they would voluntarily refrain from making purchases so that a closing order would not be needed. The trouble is not with the dealers but. with the consumers. Too many of us are gluttons,

that the Germans could not conceive that our ingenuity, our acetylene and electric weldings, would repair their cracks.

Perhaps, however, we also were somewhat short-j

sighted in not at once building ocean tugs. I remember some tugs turned out in ninety days at one of the New England shipyards. Ocean tugs in great numbers would have proved more useful over there and here at home than the boats whose launching is still far distant. So to save crippled ships, our American ocean tugs were called to the other side; they became part of the convoys; they were the stretcher-bearers of the sea. Vessel after vessel was saved; U-boat losses were diminished week by week. But what became of the ocean coal trade? Tt was diverted to the already heavily congested railroads. Coal had to be carried over long rail hauls to distant cities. Terminals became congested and loaded coal cars blocked all the sidings. It took far more cars over longer hauls.

An Irishman who was rather too fond of strong drink was asked by the parish priest: "My son, how do you expect to get into heaven?" The Irishman replied: "Shure and that's aisy. When I get tc the gate of heaven I'll open the door and shut the door, and open the door and shut the door, an1 keep on doing that till St. Peter gets impatient and says: 'For goodness sake, Mike, either come in or stay out!'" An old woman went up to the fish hawker's barrow and looked at his stock with longing eyes. She was evidently very poor, for when the hawker asked a dime for a scaleful of selected bits she hesitated. "Have 'em at a nickel, mum," growled the hawker. "No: it's too much," said the woman dolefully. "Have 'em at a penny, then." There was a look of pity mixed with disgust on the hawker's face, and , turning to the woman, he paid: "Here, missus, I'll turn me back
