T'S Spring! ' ] Oh, yes, \ ee h I know that the snow is still lying defiantly on the grass in the Park, \ MEMRPER OF THE ASSOCIAT Mi And you are still wearing your winter furs? And scolding the janitor because ho WON'T send up cnough steam heat! And the coal situation isn’t settled yet, And the Bolshevikists have signed a German peace, And the Kaiser is having lots of things his own Way, And here and there a red star on a service flag Makes your heart leap to your throat and your eyes dim, | Teena wea And you have a touch of grippe, perhaps, And the War is practically beginning all over again, And it’s been a “terrible, terrible winter, my dear!” | And HE has gone—or is going—over there! But it’s SPRING! I KNOW it’s spring! Because the other afternoon | 1 walked up the Avenue in the glittering sunlight And I felt that delicious little leaping of the pulse and tingling of thé | blood that Spring always brings, And I saw au old gentleman with a spray of valley-lilies in his coup lapel, | And a girl in a rose-wreathed hat, with a bunch of violets at her belty And a florist’s window full of hyacinths and tulips, And a soldier holding his sweetheart's hand and looking into her eye in a way Oh, well, the way they DO in Spring, you know! And a sailor boy whistling tunefully and smiling under his “beanie” At nothing at all! And a little brown pomeranian that forgot his dignity and leaped and barked joyfully like a “regular dog,” And a lady in a big green Imousine who DIDN’T look bored As she sat there knitting gray wool just like a “regular woman,” And a legless beggar sunning himself against a fence and trying not to | look cheerful, And a natty young man in a lavender shirt with his hat cooked Jauntily and his cane swung sportily over his arm Out in search of flirtation—ob, very obviously! And a little Red Cross nurse hurrying along with an armful of jonquils nd narcissus and pussy willows, AND such visions and visions of riotous heavenly dreams of delight “A Tn the milliners’ windows! | And a young Lieutenant in shining boots and glittering choulder straps ° | Who walked along looking up at the bright skies and then at the gay shop windows and then at the pretty girls, Quite forgetting that he was a brand new OFFICER! And I know that the trees in the parks are still brown and bare, | And we are at WAR—and all that——- | And that by the time this appears, old Winter may have struck his last | | eat oe oe ea AS Thao, YoLUME ANOTHER KIND OF PROFITEERING? TIS now more than two weeks since an iminediate, practical step toward protecting consumers in t f of retail food dealers was promi Hood Administrations. i The plan, as approved, provided for a price-card system under Which every retail dealer in food necessities was to be supplied with a efrd bearing the wholesale price of such necessities and the retuil prices at which, allowing for a fair profit, he should be expected to sel! them to his customers—publicity keeping these prices constantly, tefore consumers in a way forcing them. } | Outlining this plan to the Commissioner of Public Markets of *his city, Food Administrator Hoover wrote Feb. 7, 1918: | With regard to a tetter distribution of food and control | of prices of same in the City of New York, . . . it seems to us that your cooperation with the Federal Food Board of New York is of great necessity and could help bring about a condition much to be desired. 4 i e It occurs to us that your very best services to the com- munity could be rendered through working jointly with the ' Federe] Food Board, establishing a system of cards to be dis- ' tributed to retailers, and these cards to convey to the consumer the prices the retailer has to pay for food products and what the consumer should pay. °¢ end Any complaint of consumer because of overcharging or quality could be registered through the Federal Food Board, and a system of careful policing by inspectors, over which you would have control, could be adopted in every precinct of the city , ae ee NO, 20,643 is city from the profiteerir by the Bederal and to encou age their co-operation in en-| It was understood that the plan thus indorsed and urged by the Federal Food Administration had also the approval of the Chairman of ‘the State Food Board, Mr, John Mitchell. Has Mr. Mitchell made any effort to put the price card system in action against the retail food profiteers in this city? | On contrary, so far as New York consumers can see, little has been done in this State by its million dollar Food Board toward getting a controlling grip on retail food prices. Nor does there appear to be anything left of the pressure from! Adbany so much in evidence last August when v. Whitman was! cdlling loudly for a programme of State Food Control. | | The Legislature passed the bill creating the State Food Board The Governor, finding it impossible to have Mr. Perkins appointed, finally put John Mitchell at its head. Since then, inaction on the part of the State Food Board has apparently fitted in perfectly with| the oma of the Administration at Albany. | Is Spring, my dear, t's SPRING! hy ? | Well, for one thing, State food control that yoes slow ation than run the risk of controlling somebody too big to be safely con- trolled has certain advantag | Camp Comedies tT Maybe isees a8 tah in politics as well as in food prices, Ay Va i 7 x r 2 ‘ = ; Al WwW d d Nee Here meee a eieemeeiris (What Is Your Compensation?)
