SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 The Hoover Price List Secretary Hoover makes announce- ment of the forthcoming publication of price lists to tell what should be charged by retail merchants for the materials that they sell, figures based upon the cost of production and trans- portation. It will afford an interest- ing set of figures for those who are given to scanning such columns, but it will be effective to lower the cost of living only if the housewives of the country make it a daily habit to look over the infermation furnished and have the understanding to apply that information to the conditions that prevail in their own %Shopping points. During the war no man gave better service to the country than Herbert Hoover as food administrator. He was able, through some element in his personality, to enlist the volun- tary aid of housewives generally, so to impress the duty of conservation upon the public as to make it even fashionable. This enthusiastic co-op- eration with the head of the food ad- ministration was an even greater ele- ment in the exercise of economy in the use of food materials than the federal regulations governing prices and amounts that could be brought, for it stimulated the women in the homes to the practice of their utmost in ingenuity and skill in the prepara- tion of the family meals. In his present plan of enlisting the support of the housewives to effect the lowering of food costs through acquainting them with the approxi- mate cost of his stock to the mer- chant, Secretary Hoover has the con- siderable asset of the confidence of the women and an almost personal liking for him because of the relation- ship that was established through the food administration. It should be a wonderful help in making the price list mean something to feminine read- ers and secure from them a co-opera- tion that would not be accorded to an- other man. A woman 5 feet 2 inches in height may properly weigh 113 pounds; 5 feet 3 inches, 1i9 pounds, and 5 feet 4 inches, 130 pounds.
