as to just what the eventual outcome
will be, thoughtful women who have
more than a superficial knowledge Of
existing conditions, insist that the
present day housekeeper takes more
interest in good housekeeping and in
the care OF her home, than women
ever did before. The housekeeper OF
today takes pride in housekeeping and
cooking because it is the modern and
intelligent thing to do. She learns all
she Can about food values, so as to
be sure that the family dietary con-
tains the proper proportion of nour-
ishment needed by each member OF
the family for which she must think
and plan. She knows that she must
provide sufficient bone and tissue
building materials for the baby, and
the growing boys and girls, and she
finds out exactly what there are and
what effects they produce. She recog-
n1zes that the more time that is given

expects 20 reach no decision on whether
any action is necessary until after his
return 70 Washington. lie is prepar-
ing 70 90 this week.
An opinion from the Solicitor of the
Department of Commerce that some
safety requirements under the law
would not apply TO foreign ships com
ing 20 American ports has caused some
concern. The Attorney General has
beer investigating the situation.
The President worked in his study
until a late hour, the Mexican situa-
ton claiming his chief attention. He
was in communication with Secretary
Lansing and Secretary McAdoo.
This afternoon the President took an
automobile ride, and during his trip
went to the assistance OF three auto
mobilists whose machine had run over
an embankment and capsized about
three miles from his summer home.
Mrs. Francis b. Sayre, his daughter,
and DR.. Cary T. Grayson, were with

that the President intended at last to

given the Controlership, performed
the same kind of service for the admin

President desired him to make the race
against Penrose, and he did so without
hope of winning.

at the Palace Theatre yesterday after

1t was Mike ard Meyer again, accent,
pool table and all Yes, Weber and
Fields we're together once more. # only
for a week-their first joint vaudeville
onoagement since 1892. Was it any
wonder that the theatre was choked
win an audience that had bought its
tickets week ahead and that laughed
until its sides split? IL was their old,
old stunt and most OF thelr old ola
lines, but were they any the less funny
for that? When tall Lew Meyer
poked short Joe Mike-iu the face or
placed his foot gently upon his pauncn
cid times came back indeed! Happy
were Lew and Joe, even If Mike did
continually get the worst Of It, and
happy was the huge audience. There
is only one Weber and Fields, or let us
call them "Weber-Fields, and forgive
the hyphen These are the Teutons
that even the Allies will applaud. Il
wasn't perhaps only joy that the audi
ence felt, for there must have also been
regret. New York has no Weber-Fields
music hall now, alas!
There were others on the bill Hou-
DIM and Pauline Donalda, OF Manhat-
tan Opera House memories, among
them. Nine. Donalda was in excellent
voice and pleased wonderfully, while
Houdni escaped from even United
States army straitjacket, though he
did have some difficulty in accomplish
ing it. But after all it was all Joe
Weber and Lew Fields. Old times are
back indeed this week at the Palace.

fluid was dispensed directly from the
kegs into glasses. Dey was sitting on
the rail, and during the confusion he
fell overheard. What started his fall
no one knows.
But what got most under the feathers
of the Eagles was the report that the
tights which occurred on the excursion
were of German-Italian origin. The
