Inquiry today at a number of the principal associations In the city whoso chief alms re economics In some form revealed this fact, and it also was shown that niolilllza tlon and conservation were being practised In every important activity having; n bearing upon the present situation, except uhcro food Is concerned. This country, It has been frequently said, is the most wasteful of all nations. As It took Kngland two and a half 5 ears to learn and practice national economy In food, It Is being ashed on many sides today what will America do. With not merely n national, but n wmld crisis Impending, tho cost of living Is higher In this country than 11 h.-tH -vcn been. It Is higher even than In some of thn countries which hao been at war for thirty months Aside from the rising cort of foodstuffs, it is admitted that absolutely no Information Is Immediately available to show what tho food resources are now "NOTIIINCJ KNOWN" The authorities at Washington know the resources In men. ships, guns and inland uttuajjuriuuuu inciiiucs. i ncy Know me capabilities ot every available Industrial plant of Importance in war timet), and the know almost to a dollar our enormous finan cial resources, but of tho food supply noth ing It known and nothing Is being Duiight Colonel Montgomery, of tho Krtinkford Arsenal, whose acthlty In the in j atloti and conservation of military Kupintes M well known, when asked to iIIociikh the food situation said ho had never heard of any move, either Htato or national, toward tho conservation of food supplies He ac knowledged this was a vitally Important matter at present, and urged prompt action by tho proper authorities Colonel Penrose, of tho .Schuylkill Ar ena), expressed tho same opinion. LHAaui:s inactivi: Inquiry at the Consumers' Leasuo brought forth tho Information that the ac tivities of that organization were dlricted mainly to tho supervision of tho sanitary manufacture of garments, and that the question of food was not In Its proxence. The Bureau of Municipal Research. It was tatcd, has nothing whatever to do with food economics. Tho Ilureau of Applied Economics, when asked about tho matter, eatd that while It was a State Institution food economics was foreign to Its activities At the Civic Clu1 Mrs. William 11 l.ec. chairman of tho feed economics department said that almost nothing had been dono by that organization up to tho present except "talk" which she deplored.

The New Willys-Knight You will concede the luxuriousness and beauty of this car without argument. Its practical advantages" finally determine its purchase. The motor has no equal no near approach in any similar car selling for so moderate a price or for hundreds of dollars more. It is a Willys-Knight sleeve-valve motor, 12000 produced last year and giving the most remarkable satisfaction. Everyone knows that nothing has ever seriously challenged the noiselessness of this type of motor. It has the softest "purr" combined with the greatest power for its size. Its velvet smoothness puts all other motors of like power to shame. It loves carbon and hates the repair shop. It will serve you years longer thousands of miles farther than any other type of motor. And it is the only motor known that does it3 best work in its old age, after putting all rivals to rout in its youth. The Willys-Knights are value pre-eminent be cause they share proportionately in the econ omies of our vast production of a complete line of cars.
