The Housewives League
Wants Prices Kept Level
During War.
FEARS SPECULATION
BY FOREIGN BUYERS
SAYS Flour Should Be Cheaper,
but II Scars Along with
Meat and Sugar.

A letter will go to-day from Mr'.
Julian Heath, head Of the Housewives
League. 10 President Wilson, in the
name of the league, asking him to IS
sue a proclamation to the merchants
of this country, urging them to main
tain level prices during the European
war and to refrain from speculation
in foodstuffs.
A call was sent out yesterday from
her office to the 100000 members OF
the league throughout the states, d.
recting the various groups 10 get to-
gether and study prices and the whole
food situation that they may be pre-
pared to protect themselves, as con-
sumers.
"Porterhouse and sirloin steak went.
up three cents pound yesterday,
said Mrs. Heath last night. But !
spent the day going through down
town markets, and | couldn't find that
any other eatable had scared. Ihere
is always a tendency on the part OF
interruptions dealers to run up prices
on the least excuse, and this war Will
be an excuse.
Flour should go down, because we
have big wheat crop, and we can't
export the -four. There is no reason
for meat going up. ] was told to-day
that less Argentine beef was coming
10 US. Why should that be so? The
Argentine beef can't be sent to Eng
land, for there are no ships to take it.
81 wish President Wilson, who has
just issued a request to army officers
not 10 discuss the European war, would
follow IT with one telling people not TO
talk high prices. What we want is 70
create a bear atmosphere, and that's
what the Housewives League is going
to do.
However, because we don't want TO
be unjust to dealers, let US keep our
selves informed of conditions, of every
feature of the markets, of the crops,
Of prices everywhere. Thus we shall
be able TO discriminate between rob
berry and increases that are justified"
Mrs. Heath said that in the death
Of Mrs. Wilson, the Presidents wife,
the Housewives League had lost q
valued member.
"She was one OF our honorary vice
presidents" Mrs. Heath said, land
shall always remember how good she
was about il when we asked her to
serve. She didn't hesitate, as so busy
a woman might easily have done"
Wholeia and retail butchers say
the advance of from 20 TO 30 per cent
in the price Of meat is not due directly
TO the war, but to a desire on the part
Of the men higher up" TO keep as
much meat in stock as possible, in the
belief that there will soon be for
eign market at fabulous prices.
Flour has gone up 80 cents a barrel,
owing to the price of wheat, and is
expected to go still higher. Great
quantities of grain are being held in
Chicago, and IL is reported that R
good part of il may go next week 10
Montreal, where British freighters,
conveyed by battleships and cruisers,
will take it aboard.
The price of sugar, raw and refined,
has jumped. The wholesale price OF
the latter is FIVE cents a pound and of
the former 3s9 cents Butter and
eggs and dried beans and peas are
other staples whose prices are rising.

WOMEN FARLEY
WITH REPUBLICANS
Suffragists Advance on Pri-
maries and Meet with Cor
dial Receptions.

Two hundred members of the Woman
Suffrage party had the time of their
lives yesterday hobnobbing with the
Republicans. Armed with literature and
arguments, they went to the primaries,
and with one solitary exception were
most cordially received. The exception
was in the Goth Assembly District.
W. c. Hecht, the leader, wouldn't let
the women into the clubhouse in East
1O1st ST., where the primary was held.
so they were compelled TO stand on the
sidewalk and give out literature there
VI. H. Blake, leader in the 9th; c. W.
Wanmaker, leader in the 18th, and
Maurice Levy, in the oath, gave them
the glad hand. Mr.. Levy said he
wished they would bring a piano and
play some music.
In the Sd Assembly District they
we're asked if they wouldn't like to
have some tea. C. F. Fox, of the 7th,
and A. Wolf, Of the 4th, were most
friendly. All the men mentioned here
declared for suffrage, so the women
felt Jheir day was well spent.

AS PATRIOTIC TO
COOK AS TO KILL
M. Panchard PerSuades Chefs
Their Forte Is Kitchen Here,
Not War Abroad.

Patriotism crops out in more than
enc FORM" said Edouard Psnchsrd, chef
at the McAlpin Hotel, last night. at
helped me out of tight place all
right"
VI. Panchard went on to explain. It
seems that practically all the employees
in the big kitchens at the hotel are
Frenchmen. They pride themselves
that the products Of their art are
French. II is said that French at
mosphere hovers about even the Irish
stew, which appears often on the menu.
And so, when the culinary artists in
a body waited on VI. Panchard to in
form him that they were about TO re-
turn to that dear France for the pur-
pose OF defending the country against
the Germans the chef had disturbing
visions of what would happen to his
well-crdered department.
VI. Panchard listened TO the spokes-
man, thinking hard the while. AS the
speaker finished, an inspiration swept
over the chef, and he coUntered in this
fashion: "You are patriots-yes. But
do you consider that not alone by kill
ing is patriotism shown? Every day
in my Kitchen you work to keep men
alive-not to destroy them.
"What, then-as the Americans say
is the answer? If you go, what must
do? It is easy. fill up my kitchen
with-what? With Germans-do you
hear? Germans. Then, if you are not
shot, you come back here, and what do
you find? You find our hotels overrun
with Germans. Our delightful cuisine
is ruined. As the standard bearers OF
cooking of the greatest excellence the
French are no more. What, then, is
your patriotic duty"
The group of men in the chefs Office
became thoughtful. After few low
toned conversations they withdrew, tell
ing Panchard that they would think the
matter over. Last evening the grstified
chef smilingly announced that his men
had come to his way of thinking, and
that the evolving of new sauces and
dressings would go on without inter
ruption.
