WASHINGTON, April 20.—The
government’s program for food con
trol during the war was put before
congress today by Secretary Houston
in a communication to the senate ask
ing power for the department of agri
culture to take direct supervision of
food production and distribution in
the United States and requesting a
$25,000,000 appropriation for putting
the plan into operation.
Authority was asked for by the
council of national defense, in an
emergency, to buy and sell foodstuffs
and to fix maximum or minimum
prices.
As outlined to the senate the gov
ernment’s plan is first to make a com
plete survey of the country’s food sup
ply to determine its ownership and
distribution if necessary; to license
and control the operations of all con
cerns engaged in the manufacture of
food or feeds, agricultural implements
and all materials required for. agri
cultural purposes. Authority is sought
for the agricultural department to
take over and operate the concerns if
that course is demanded by public in
terest.
Federal Selling Proposed.
Giving the government power to
deal directly in foodstuffs probably
would make its application unneces
sary, Secretary Houston declared, as
its very existence would tend to keep
conditions normal. He proposed that
the government should have full dis
cretion, saying it might be wise if an
emergency arose to fix prices on a
single commodity. Market grades
and classes for farm products, Secre
tary Houston said, is one of the chief
needs of the country to insure proper
conditions in producing and market
ing farm products.
Authority also was asked for the
department to require of transporta
tion companies preference for the
movement of farm machinery, seeds,
fertilizers and materials that enter in
to the processes of food production.
Enlargement of the market news
service of the department was recom
mended as a means of insuring equita
ble distribution to prevent undue food
shortage in any consuming center and
to provide against wastes due to tem
porary oversupplies of food in smoe
communities. The department wishes
to allow the market service division
to assist in obtaining rerouting of
foodstuffs to relieve congestion on
transportation lines.
Seek Aid of Board.
In its plan for an investigation of
the present food supply, the agricul
tural department has arranged for the
help of the federal trade commission,
which, with the department, was di
rected early in the year to make an
inquiry to ascertain the amount of
food stocks and to determine if the
anti-trust laws have been violated in
food production, storage and distribu
tion. That inquiry has been halted
for lack of an appropriation. The
present congress, however, has voted
money for conducting it—the house
the $400,000 asked, and the senate
$250,000.
The two houses are expected to get
together on an amount,to be appro- j
printed for this specific inquiry, and
as soon as it is available the trade!
commission will proceed. The com- ■
mission already is laying plans for the
inquiry and today called into confer
ence more than a dozen senators and
representatives for suggestions. The \
concensus of opinion, it was said aft- '
erward, was that the commission
should interpret the act creating it in •
the most liberal fashion and should '
get down to basic facts concerning thej
handling of food resources.
Delay Liquor Action.
Suggestions that the government is '
contemplating measures for national
prohibition during the war as a means
of increasing the food supply arc met i
with the statement by officials that no
early action in that direction is like
ly as it is not considered necessary at 1
this time. Secretary Houston alluded J
to it today in his letter to the senate j
by a reference to European action in ,
restricting the manufacture of alco- [
holic liquors. He made no recommen
mendations, however, merely pointing
out that the European governments
have saved considerable food that
way. Estimates, he said, put the (
amount of food made into liquor in !
the United States at about $145,000,- Ij
000 annually.
Mr. Houston warned today against ;
agricultural experiments in new areas <
and tests of new crops. The increase (
of food, he said, must come about (
largely through increased farm effici- (
ency and on farms and ranges already «
in operation. The problem he defined \
as one of more concentration of effort, (
not that of putting more land under '
cultivation.

IN “CARMEN"
AT THK KMPRKSS.
In every conceivable way, the pro
duction of “Carmen,” to be presented ;j
at the Kmpress this Tuesday and \
Wednesday, May 8 and !), marks an 5
era and chronicles an epoch in mov- -
ing pictures. It has no prototype in ;
sumptuous and colossal magnitude, 1
scenic eiiuipment, properties, cast,, 3
costumes, lavish expenditures or ex-1 s
traordinary treatment. It stands sin- I j
gle, supreme, inimitable and alone 13
among achievements of the silent ’ Sj
stage.
Never before in the history of mov- J jj
ing pictures was such exact and ij
painstaking care, such accumulated j i
experience, such outlay of money and ; >,
time beslowel upon a screen presen-] 3
tation. Nearly one year was required j 5
to complete it in perfection; its cost >,
staggers belief. A
Theda Bara, whose portrayals up-;;
on the film have made her the most -
talked-of woman in the world, dis- j -
tinguishes herself in the title role of
the pouting and flouting gypsy flirt.'
Miss Bara, former leading woman of j
the noted Theatre Antoine. Paris,!
stands supremely alone as “The Vain-1
pire Woman” of the screen, literally a
rage from coast to coast.
The screen adaptation of “Car-j
men,” Merimee’s novel has little in ;
common with familiar, conventional j
operatic and dramatic versions. It |
borrows nothing from custom or tra- j
dition in conception or execution. The |
services of a total of more than live '
thousand persons were enlisted in its
production. More than a score of
acres of land was required upon .
which to erect “Carmen’s” Cordova j
and Seville. The azure baths of Cor- 2
dova, where Don Jose first encoun-jj
tered the audacious flirt Carmen, are IJ
accurate in construction and beauty, £
The cigarette factory in which Car- l
men wreaks vengeance upon a taunt- |
ing co-worker breathes the spirit of t
bizarre reality. £
To a large number of opera-goers t
and music-lovers there is but one 11
emotional soprano- but one exponent l
of the role as “Carmen.” Cake’s J
“Carmen," especially, is almost uni- l
versally accepted as the greatest of 1
all impersonations yf the role, hut J
Theda Kara, in the role of “Carmen,” i
was fortunate in not being impeded i
or restrained by operatic limitations ■
and accepted routine. Hers is an orig- i
inal, wild, free, untrammeled version i
of the’ Spanish gypsy beauty, depart- S
ing from all familiar, well-trodden S
paths. t
Captain Lathrop bids patrons come i
to this monumental entertainment -
with expectations keyed to the high- 1
est possible pitch, prepared for an -
eye-feast of wonder and delight Kven 1
then, he promises, the most vivid ini- j
agination will be startled and the -
most sanguine hope outdone. 987 -
