EXTRAVAGANZA A NATIONAL VICE
Joseph Iahet Sounds Warning Against Reckless Expenditure
The Automobile Craze Case in Point-t is the Fashion
Now to Be ExtavagaRt

Ell Paso, TeX.-EStravagance has
become not only a national vice but
is in fact becoming a national menace
In the opinion Of Joseph T. Talbert,
vice-president of the National City
Bank, Of New York. Mr.. Talbert,
who spoke before the Texas Bankers
Association, said that there does not
appear anywhere to exist in the con-
duct OF national, municipal or indf-
vidual affairs, that appreciation of
the economical and prudent use of
resources and that adjustment Of ex-
penditures to means and incomes
which always have been found neces-
sary to the support Of prosperity and
to the maintenance of a condition of
solvency.
The speaker cited the automobile
craze as a case In point. I'VE are
squandering on pleasure vehicles an
nually sums OF money running into
hundreds of millions Of dollars" he
continued. "The initial cost of auto
mobiles to American users amounts
to not less than s250,0OO.000 a year.
The up-keep and other necessary ex-
penditures, as we'll as incidentals,
which would not otherwise be in

as large as 1t is, does not include the
whole economic loss growing out of
this single item of indulgence. The
thousands OF young and able-bodied
men employed in manufacturing ma
chimes and IN running and caring for
cars, all are withdrawn from produc-
tive usefulness; they become consum-
ers OF our diminishing surplus pro-
ducts and constitute an added bur

RESTAURANT ETIQUETTE.

A girl who has been invited for the
first time to dine in a restaurant
writes to ask what she shall wear
and how to conduct herself. To the
first query / say she may wear either
her dressy cloth gown or a pretty silk,
and I favor a cloth suit with dainty
separate waist. Her dress hat should
be worn, for she must look attractive
without being conspicuous.
Her escort should call at her home,
and 'hen they enter the restaurant
he should precede her. When her
escort notifies the head waiter that a
table for two is required, according
to the custom in this country, the
girl follows the waiter, preceding her
host; but II she wishes to follow the
European custom, and allow her
escort to go first, he will be directly
behind the waiter. Then, If the To-
cation does not suit. the man can OBJ
ject before the girl has seated her.
self. Whether she precedes or fol-
lows her escort into the restaurant is
optional.
The sirl takes the seat opposite to
her host, the chair Of which should
be drawn out either by the head
waiter or the escort. Only when the
table is very large, so she could not
talk to her host comfortably, does
the girl sit beside him.
AS q rule the man selects the din
ner. The girl has a menu card given
her by the waiter, but unless she is
requested by her host she makes no
suggestion as to what shall be or

SQUARE WITH WORLD AT s5.

In address on "Hygienic Living"
given in the Gilbert School recently,
DR.. e. H. Arnold, of New Haven, lee
turer at Yale Medical School, said
that curvature of the spine frequently
resulted from sitting in a certain posi-
ton in school.

this to "the boyish spirit Of deviltry."
which keeps lads constantly shifting
about, while the girl, ever anxious to
please the teacher, assumes a position
and keeps it. "She suffers from hav-
ing been good" said DR.. Arnold. The
average child Of parents in ordinary
circumstances, he went on, represent
ed an investment at one year of $50
to 800, and at fifteen or sixteen
years OF $4,000. These estimates are
not in regard to the value to the pa
rents in affection, nor is the actual ex-
pense to the community in schools
considered
"At eighteen" DR.. Arnold said,
"the average child begins to keep
himself, and at thirty-five, the results
of his labors considered, he is prac-
tically square with the world Thus,
a person dying under that age goes
out of the world indebted to the COM
munity. Consequently the commun-
ity should leave nothing undone in
protection for its children. for If the
results are not what they should be
the community is the loser"

Pretty semi-evening gowns, which

THE BODY'S KITCHEN.

Mrs. Mildred Manly Easton gave a
living picture entertainment at the
Waldorf-Astoria yesterday. If the
women who attended didn't know
when they left how they look when
they live in the kitchens of their
bodies-that is to say, the stomach
and the highbrow aspect which dwell
ing exclusively in the library-the
head-gives them, it was because
they hadn't kept their eyes on the
plump little lecturer.
Mrs. Easton said a good many
human bodies were like a big house
she once lived in.
"The main object imposed on US
by the neighborhood was to keep the
mable doorsteps clean. The house
was full of servants humping into
each other doing useless things.
There was nice drawing room, but
I never had any time to live in it.
