Mrs. Bernice Carter Davis Says Europe Hampered by Cost of Equipment. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. While th> United States is leader in the canning and conservation of food- stuffs, it is not due to lack of interest on the part of other nations in the econcmic science, according to Mrs. Bernice Carter Davis, in charge of the food conservation campaign of the President's organization of unemploy- ment relief. Mrs. Davis had unusual opportunity | to study the reaction of other nationals | to American ‘methods of canning and | preserving, when, as a member of Miss Anne Morgan's Rehabilitation Commit- tee, she traveled throughout Prance, teaching and demonstrating the science of food conservation and home eco- nomics as taught in this country. Co-operating with the French min. ister of agriculture and the minister of the School of Agriculture in Grignon, to the heads of home economics de- partments from schocls in every section of France and to students from prac- tically every part of the world. Canning Is Expensive, “The advantages of scientific can- {ning and preserving are fully realized in Europe,” she said, “and I think housewives would do more conserving if it were not so difficult to obtain the ccntainers. Most of the jars and cans used in France before the war came from Germany and England. The war made it impossible to import con- tainers and since the war, it has been about as reasonable to import from the United States as any other place. This makes canning and preserving rather expensive.” During her three years abroad, Mrs. Davis carried with her all articles nec- essary in her demonstrations and class i work. Accompanying her on her trav- els throughout France, Italy, Egypt and Palestine, were two large boxes con- taining an American steam pressure a hand sealing machine, glass jars, rub- ber rings and vessels of many types for the preserving of jellies and jams. She even took with her spoons for stirring, pointing out that different materials, such as aluminum, fron or wood, pro- duced different. degrees of heat, and in ner demonstrations, it was essential that she have a certain standard. While at the college at Grignon, Mrs Davis found an interested group of spectators among a number of French war veterans, several of whom later education, she gave demonstrations at Lil canner, a hot water canner, tin cans, | MRS. BERNICE CARTER DAVIS. —Star Staff Photo. supported themselves by securing Amer- ican articles for canning and entering intp the conservation business on a ‘SH\lll scale. In her classes, were also two old Liberian monks, who eagerly | followed the instructions in American canning methods with the purpose of intsl;odu(‘lng the sciexe to pupils in ria, Taught Many Classes. After giving several demonstrations in Rome, Mrs. Davis was invited to |Egypt. Later she taught canning to a | class of Hebrew children in Palestine. | Before leaving Europe, Mrs. Davis was invited to give a demonstration for a | group of Dutch housewives. | " At present she is engaged in inter- | esting_the country in the expediency | and advisability of conserving foodstuffs from the Summer oversupply to be used in_relief work this Winter. From her office on the ninth floor of the Walker Johnson Building has emanated much of the information and advice which has encouraged housewives to partici- pate in one of the greatest “canning | seasons” of the Nation's history. Mrs. Davis believes that at ieast one good will be blown by the evil wind of | unemployment and depression. By encouraging the production among farmers of divers vegetables she be- lieves that Americans will better learn the proper value of foodstuffs and the right balancing of meals. “People listen when hard pressed to things they will not hear at other times,” she said. “The moment is now opportune t> educate people in better balanced diets. The rations which are prepared by agencies and organizations have been carefully prepared with re- gard to proper balance. People through- out the country will through the last | season’s cultivation and the present conservation campaign get a wider variety of vegetables and acquire a taste for them, which should contribute to | the future health of the Nation.” FILIPINOS WOULD LIKE ROUND-TABLE TALKS Manila Newspapers Say Leaders Favor Such Conference if Called by Washington. By the Associated Press. MANILA, September 15.-Manila newspapers reported ‘oday legislative leaders had sald the insular legislature would gladly accept an invitation t> a round-table conference on Philippine affairs if invited to such a mesting by Washington. The papers, which did not name the legislative leaders, made it clear that no invitation had been extended. Pre- viously the Tribune, Filipino-owned English language newspaper. printed an open letter to Secretary cf War Patrick J. Hurley, who is here studying the Philippine independence problem, ask- ing him to use his influence toward the calling of such a conference in Wash- ington. . Meanwhile, all criticism of Secretary Hurley ceased. both in the Legislature and in the newspapers. He previously had been accused in the Senate and the press of coming to the islands to obtain facts in opposition to their in- dep°ndence movement. In legislative circles it was said the speeches in the Senate yesterday by Senators Jose Clarin and Epidio Quir- ino, attacking the War Secretary for the form of questions which he put to Individuals regarding their independence ideas, were made in fulfillment of pre- vious announcements that they would deliver such addresses.

The prices received at the auction just closed were somewhat lower than in re- cent years. However, the receipts brought the total from sales in the past 20 years to $6,000,000, and this repre- sents a profit of $2,000,000 Ward T. Bower, chief of the Alaska division of the Fisheries Bureau, said 49,524 pelts of young males were taken in the last hunting season. The fur was of better grade, he added, noting that it was now possible for women to obtain sealskin coats that formerly cost $1,000 for abcut half that price, Seals Number 1,000,000. ‘The seals, which were rapidly being depleted by hunters, were (nkzn oveg by the Government under a treaty with Russia, Japan and Great Britain in 911. Their number increased in the past two decades, and there are more than 1.000.000 now, despite the taking of 437,376 pelts. These fur-bearing seals represent #bout three-fourths of the world popu- lation of their species. They breed on the Pribclof Islands, west of Alaska and north of the Aleutian Islands in the Bering Sea. Each family consists of 1 bull and about 40 cows.

CHARGES OF POLICE REVELRY WITHDRAWN Mrs. Layne Apologizes, Admitting | Statements Were Based on Hearsay. ! By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Sertem- ber 15.—Mrs. Kathleen Miller Leyne of East Riverdale. Md., who brcught sen- sational charges against members of the Prince Georges County police force after being arrested for liquor viola- tions several weeks ago, today admit- | ted the charges were based wholly on hearsay evidence and formelly withdrew them with an aprlogy for “any misun- derstanding” they may have created.

Mrs. Leyne complained to the com- missioners_three weeks ago that while | she was being held after the officers | raided her home, police returned to her house, took several articles, visions in the refriger piano and “staged a midnight party.” The womari said in her letter today that she did not consult her attorney before registering the complaint, but “was advised by others that this was the proper thing to do.” She added she made the charges “while in a state of great mental excitement” and before she had time to think the matter over. ‘The letter to the commissioners was written on the advice of Mrs. Leyne's attorney, Robert W.

T. R. H. (Copyright, 1931 STONE DENIES L0SS IN MILLING DEALS Farm Board Chairman An- swers Murray Charges of Mismanagement. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Seplember 15.—James C. Stone. chairman of the Federal Farm Board, yesterday formally denied that milling ‘companies profited from grain operations of the board. The denial in the form of a stat ment prepared by Stone in collabora- tlon with George S. Milnor, president of the Government-sponsored Grain Stabilization Corporation. was in answer to a question by Gov. William H. Mur- ray of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma executive asked if it is not true that the board loaned 1.000,000 bushels of wheat to one mill- | ing company when wheat was 85 cents | a bushel, and now Is taking it back at | a price £0 low the company is profiting $600,000 by the purported transaction. Denles Owning Wheat. “The Federal Farm Board has not and does not own anv wheat,” Stone said. “The Grain Stabilization Corpo- ration is the owner of all the wheat which has been purchased for stabiliza- tion_purposes. “During the Winter, the Stabilization Corporation offered to sell wheat to any miller in the United States at the cur- rent market price and for cash, with the agreement that if the miller ground and exported the wheat in the form of | flour prior to June 1, 1931, the miller | would be given the privilege of return- | ing to the Stabilization Corporation any | time before July 1 an equal quantity of | the same grade of wheat as that which | had been exported in the form of flour, and on the miller returning such wheat | Coles, the original per bushel purchase price southeast, would be refunded. Saved Storage Costs. “By this operation the stabilization corporation saved from four to six| months’ storage and carrying charges, amounting to from 5 cents to 9 cents a bushel. | “In order to sell the flour for export. | the miller was forced to meet world competitive prices and, therefore, the loss that he incurred on the high price wheat that he had purchased offset the gain that he later made in returning the wheat. “The principal advantage to the mil- ler was that it enabled him to main- tain his established flour brands in for- eign markets and to help keep his plant in_ operation, while otherwise the plant would have been partly closed. thereby adding to the unemployment prevailing at_that time, “That the millers did not find the operation a particularly profitable one is evidence by the fact that the total quantity of the wheat thus handled was approximately 3,000,000 bushels. The plan was open to all millers in the United States and no single milling | firm took advantage of it to the extent| of more than 150,000 bushels.” Gov. Murray had challenged the board to disprove “that the board has| deposited with large milling companies | wheat, and have discriminated against | the small milling companies and by | such deposits have reduced the price of wheat rather than raise it." Stone denied the discrimination and said that the operation had a tendency to bolster the market, removing the wheat from the country. The Farm Board chairman also re- pudiated a statement which Gov. Mur- ray had attributed to him, that the board “had loaned or let with certain millers a few hundred thousand bushels which should be.returned on demand.” Wheat Was Not Loaned. “No wheat was loaned by the Fed- eral Farm Board or the Grain Stabiliza- tion Corporation,” Stone said, “to any miller. Where the stabilization corpo- ration stored wheat with the millers it was frequently examined by Stabiliza- tion Corporation inspectors and the identical wheat was either returned to the Stabilization Corporation or pur- chased by the miller at the full market prices before such wheat was used.” Stone said he disapproved of the| attention focused on_the stabilization feature of the Farm Board's activities, pointing out that the stabilwation is only one of the phases of the marketing act and that co-operative marketing or- | ganizations sponsored by the board were | not getting the attention they deserved.
