STUDENT OPINION Published in the Interest of Washington State Normal School and Its Students Vol. II. ELLENSBURG, WASHINGTON, TUESDAY, APRIL 80, 1918 No. 27 DAMMON SCHOOL I MESSAGE FROM U. S. GIVES PROGRAM! FOOD ADMINISTRATION Students Work Out and Present Historical Pageant. j | Everybody that attended Assem-j bly on Thursday went away con- J vinced that for a real patriotic,' and original demonstrative pro­ gram, the Dammon school stands in the front ranks. They went "over the top" with an unusually good lively program and every number was a surprise and very good. Mrs. Dodge, head of the rural de­ partment, who gave a preliminary talk on what the program stood for said that this exhibition rep­ resented the actual war work that is being done everywhere in the schools under the Junior Red Cross. The progarm was the culmination of the labor of the children and cost little extra labor to give to us because the. work stood for it­ self. Miss Dunn, supervisor of the Dammon school gave an account of how they carried this work on in the school room and an expla­ nation of how they selected the material for the program. The Ru­ ral Student Teachers took the re­ sponsibility of presenting the pro­ gram to us and should be com­ mended for their aptness, as they are all novices at this work. The Red Cross work done by school children represented real labor' and fills a great need for our country. The invalid cushions, bed socks, gun wipers, joke books and war posters were worthy of any Red Cross shop in America or Prance. Little did we think when the pro­ gram started that we would be taken back over the span of cen-' turies and see our Puritan ances- J tors fighting for democracy and the | brave George Washington consult- i Ing with the nimble fingered Bet­ sy Ross over the making of our great flag of red, white and blue. Or be taken back to our History books when we read of the war of 1912, it didn't tell us much about the siege of Baltimore but Thursday Francis Scott Key came before us and told us how he was taken prisoner at Baltimore and watched all night and in the morn­ ing our "Star Spangled Banner" was seen still waving in the breeze and thus he conceived our Na­ tional song. Then the sands of time were quickly turned to today, 1918, and showed us our Red Cross nurses taking first aid care of our soldiers on the battle field by quick, deft bandaging while the Hospital Corps converted a (Continued on Page Two.)

Tay- j lor of the Food Administration at i the meeting of hotel men, when most of the large hotels pledged ( themselves to serve absolutely no j wheat until the next harvest. J This speech is a powerful appeal and should be read by every college • man and womain. Can you have it published, wholly or in part, in your college paper, or read at chapel or on other public occasions? Colleges are beginning to follow the splendid example of the hotels. Will you not bring up the question before your students of abstaining from wheat for the rest of the col­ lege year? Doubtless many of them would be willing to help induce others to make the same sacrifice.' Such an action would be a great service in meeting our present emer­ gency. United States Food Administration. Speech by Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor of the the U. S. Food Administra­ tion at a meeting of hotel men, New Willard Hotel, Washington, D. S., March 29, 1918: "I wish very briefly to lay stress upon three points that every man in this room ought to realize and accept as war policies. "We have got to reach the place, each one of us, where we define every decision in our lives as an act of war policy. Everything that we do, plan, eat, wear, must be analyzed and measured from one single point of view—will it con­ tribute to the carrying on of the war, or will it contribute to its proclamation. There is no other thing in the world for us but to define everything in our lives as acts of military necessity or policy. "The first necessity for us is to- get a clear conception of the rela­ tion of wheat in the human diet and to divest ourselves of all preconcep­ tions that a life of generations of ease, indolence and luxury has bred in us. "We are accustomed to regard wheat as a more or less indispen­ sable article of diet. It isn't. It j is an article of luxury and absolute- I ly nothing else. Wheat possessesj over oats, corn and rice absolutely no nutritional quality for man or beast. It has no more protein and no better protein. It has no more fat and no different fat. It has no mineral salt better of in larger amounts. It has no more fuel or YAKIMA STUDENTS TEACHERS ACTIVE better fuel. It is just one of the cereals, and there isn't the slightest evidence that it' is the best one, because so far as comparative tests are concerned in animals, it isn't the best one, it is very far from the best one. "Our predilection for wheat is solely a question of taste, comfort and convenience it is absolutely nothing else. Wheat makes the nicest bread, the lightest bread, the bread that is transported best, the bread that keeps moist and sweet longest. It lends itself to the habits of ease and convenience of people. We want it sent to Europe and not kept here, and we ask and expect the American man and woman m judging of every situation as con­ trasted with that of our Allies, men and women, to ask who has wasted in resources the most, who has lost the most by sacrifice, who has suffered the most in death and destruction, we or our Allies? and- when we have a choice to decide as to whether we or they should in­ crease or decrease our burden, it ought to be not the duty, but the joyful privilege of every American to lessen the burden of every man, woman and child in the Allied coun- trise of Europe, by acepting the heavier burden on this side. And because wheat is easier to prepare than oats and rice and barley—that is the very best reason in the world why we ought to accept the oats and the rice and barley and to give them the wheat that is necessary to maintain a normal ration. "You gentlemen serve a great many faddists and cranks, and you will hear a great many expressions that your patrons cannot eat this or that, merely because they are ac­ customed to this or that other thing, or because they have had idiosyncra­ sies bred in them or developed by lurury. ^ Now when ever any one of your patrons tells you that he or she can't eat oats, or rice, or corn, but must have wheat, that in­ dividual is either a crank or a slack­ er. and deserves from your hand only the consideration proper to the one or the other. "We have all to decide whether we will serve the Allies, who need help the most, or whether we will serve ourselves who need it less. We had better begin serving the Allies now. "The second point that I wish to emphasize, and this is based upon European experience in the art ol rationing, is the enormous ppositive (Continued on Page Three) Rural Conference Attended by Pres­ ident Black and Dean Baker. "The year's at the spring, The days at the morn, Mornings' at seven." Thus run the minds of our Yaks ima girls as they wend their way toward school, thru the blossoming orchards. All the girls have taken over their full quota of work and are getting along fine. The Rural conference was attend­ ed by President Black and Dean Baker from Ellensburg, Miss Jessie Stuart, Leta Mae Smith, Belle Dodge, Harriet Britton and Miss Pierson from our training centers. Tuesday, April 23d, President Black and Mr. Wolff stopped at bur training centers, on their way to the board meeting, which was held •in Yakima. ' Both of our supervisors., are now Grangers, and with the Grangers stand. Last Friday night Mabel Cornwall left for her home in Ellensburg where she spent Saturday and Sun­ day, with her parents. Agnes Brown­ ing also spent Saturday and Sun­ day at the home of J. C. Kaynor in Ellensburg. Eunice Weaver spent the week end in Walla at her home. She reports an enjoyable time. Francis Briskey spent the week end at her home in Naches. Virginia Nye was at her home in Sunnyside over Saturday and Sunday. Mary Yolo spent the week end at her home in Wapato. This is offset by our kindly house mothers. Stopping with , "Our Bachelor Girls," we find Mrs. De- Voe ever ready to do her share- Just "when a feller needs a friend," she appears with some apples or better still a warm cake at the home on the hill, Mrs. Snider does her bit. towards keeping the girls comfortable and happy, and side by side with her comes Mrs. Cook, of our Broadway girls. Friday night the girls at Broad­ way were entertained by the young people of the neighborhood at Mrs. Pinkerton. All report an enjoyable time. Miss Pierson, Mr. and Mrs. Blodg- ett, and Evangeline Ostling made up a fishing party Monday evening. They motored out some twenty-five j miles, had a fine supper, fished j and returned to find they had i been fishing in an irrigation ditch. I Broadway bunch did go afishin' | For to catch some fishes, All the water they could find I Ran in irrigation ditches.—H. B.

Miss Wilfnarth and some of her early birds, went on another of their exciting hare and hound hikes, Saturday morning. The hares left at about 6 a. m. and marked out a labyrinth trail for the hounds to trace. They started from Craig's hill, went down by Tjossem's mill and cafe out by the upper bridge. The hounds started about a half hour later but only two of the bunch were able to follow up the trail. Girls Hike to Menastash. Sunday six girls plus a one horsed shay and a big lunch com­ posed "mostly of onions and ween­ ies,' headed for Menastash canyon. The plan was for three girls to in­ habit said shay, for an indefinite period of time then to change places with the other three. The scheme worked fine and the girls • were riot as footsore as usual upon returning at night. The sides of the canyon are so steep and rocky that you may get a taste of real mountain climbing. The bunch consisted of Alma Flower, Kath- ryn Grabbe, Mildred Faulkner, Rosamond McCredy, Ellen Warren and Reita Faulkner. Engraved Cards are al­ ways better and lower in price at THE RECORD PRESS J. C. Kaynor, Manager the price to pay for—hams at $60 to $70 apiece, butter at $5 a pound. Any delicacy outside of the regula­ tions can be bought by a man of wealth in Germany today, and this has honeycombed that nation with graft. And it started with the very best hotels—The Adlon, the Esplan­ ade—and they are today responsible for the disorganization of the ra­ tioning systems in public eating places. Each manager or owner of the high grade hotel and eating house has a positive influence and example that cannot be measured, as judged by European experience. "We have just sent over two of the best food experts of the United States to Europe, and what is the striking thing contained in their letters from London and Paris? The thing that struck them the most was the scarcity of food in the best hotels of those two cities. "Thirdly and lastly, you have a very important field of negative ex­ ample. It isn't possible to main­ tain a conservation program in the home, if the husband can leave arid | go to a hotel and escape it. It is | thus impossible for a home program J to be successful, so long as hotels, restaurants, public eating houses and j clubs will give the spoiled man those things to eat which the housewife is trying to keep him from having. "Now, this is not a theory, it is an absolute fact. We hear it from every state, we hear it from all classesj we hear it from women of larger means and from women of little means, that they, who are try­ ing to play the game, who are con­ scientious, are frustrated in their ef­ forts at conservation by the- selfish­ ness of men who will . not play the game with them, because they know that they can find some public eat­ ing places in which the policy of conservation is violated.
