MOVEMENT TAKES FORM TO MAKE FAMOUS COAST GUARD INTEGRAL PART OF NAVAL SERVICE OF UNITED STATES There is a strong movement taking shape in Washington ami elsewhere to place the United States Coast Guard permanently under the juris diction of the navy rather than the Treasury Department, with which it is now connected. The proposed change finds favor among officers and men of the Coast Guard Service for many practical reasons. It is advocated also by officers of high rank in the navy as a measure making for greater ef ficiency in time of war. There is one consideration, however, which has bred opposition to the contemplated amalgama tion of the Coast Guard with th*' navy in the past and which may still further delay that consummation. In some circles in the navy it is feared "that it would be difficult to obtain from Congress such largely in creased appropriations under the head of the Naval Appro priation bill as would be re v! *> ? ?. v I 5*-i ?' ,.i-5' *' quired to maiutain the Coast Guard in its present splendid state of efficiency and to con tinue its development as the needs of the country expand.

WASHINGTON,- Dec, 5.- If the I high cost of living bothers you, don't j .valt for government remedies, but I buy some laying hens and eat more ! corn products and rice, says Speaker '('hamp Clark. i Thus he expressed himself yester day on the high cost of living prob-, lem which ho regards as one of the greatest facing the nation. He re-1 ferred to Representative Fitzgerald's embargo bill "There may or may not be a; chance for .Mr. Fitzgerald's proposed; bill," Iff said. "Ii might do some good; I don't know. 1 think the gov ernment can help lower food prices by legislative or other action, but 1 do know that there are ways by. which the consumer can cut down his expenses. "For instance, everyone who cap [ should keep some hens. And any man who has two square feet of ground can keep them. "i'eople should cat more corn pro-. ducts, too. Mush Is highly nutritious I and it isn't eaten enough. "Rice is too generally overlooked in this country. 1 wa3 surprsied to hear the other day that 5 cents; worth of rice wan to serve as a substitute for bread for an entire day in a family of six people." The speaker declared that he would urge the passage of a federal law prohibiting the killing of veal calves He also expressed the view that the egg specuaitors violate the law in, holding eggs for a rise in prices, and that people were 'foolish" to permit their butter prices to be regu lated from one point in this coun try.
