NEW YORK GROWING sTINGY

New York. Feb. cit has been
often said that New York Is the
most extravagant city in the United
States. Things are changing, how
ever. and it may soon enjoy the rep
utation of being the most frugal
burg in the country. Pictured in
popular fancy as inhabited by a
strange race that takes no food but
lobster and pate de fois gras, no
drink but champagne, New Workers
may actually be seen dining on left :
over ham bones and drinking hy-
drant water. Before the war bega
and George W. Perkins started his
domestic science crusade, the aver :
age weekly expense for food by the
New York family OF five was esti !.
mated at $15.75 and the family Of
four at $3.50. Now II is estimat !.
ed that the family of FIVE can live on
s12.S7 and the family of four on
5000. To be extragavant is out
of date. and very vulgar. too. To be
in style one must be economical.

PEACE PRAYERS TO Be
OFFERED TOMORROW
THROUGHOUT EUROPE

Rome, Feb. 6.-The Pope sets
two days to be devoted by Catholic
clergy and laity throughout Chris
tiandom to service and prayers for
the restoration of peace. Tomorrow
is the day on which the services are
to be held in every Catholic church
In Europe. Sunday, May 81, is the
day for special services in churches
In all parts of the world except in
Europe.
The Pope's decree exhorts clergy
men and their flocks not only to at
tend the special services Of the day
but by prayer, acts or modification
and self denial invoke God to re-
store tranquility to a world now
suffering expiation for It's sins.
The decree orders that the blessed
sacrament be exposed in the church.
es, that special masses be said, the
Rosary and Litanies recited, the
services to conclude with benedic
tion of the blessed sacrament. A
special plenary indulgence will be
given during the service
The Pope's allocution expresses
his deep chagrin that month after
month was going by without even
the distant hope that this fatal war
soon would cease. He alluded to
what had been done toward the ex-
change of prisoners and explained
that the limitations OF his apostolic
office did not permit him to go fur :
ther. As interpreter OF the eternal
law, the Pontiff said he could de
clare that nobody should be permit O..
ted to inflict injustice, but he could
not go further in this conflict. To
do SO would be neither convenient
nor useful. The Holy See must re-
main perfectly impartial.
The Roman Pontiff, as the Vicar
of Christ Who died for all, must
embrace all the combatants In his
sentiments of charity. Being the
father of all Catholics, he has sons
on both sides in this conflict for
whose safety he must be anxious
Consequently 1t was impossible for
him to look upon the special inter
ests dividing the peoples in this con
flict, but rather the common bonds
making them brothers in the faith.
Any other course not only would not
assist peace would create aversions
to religion and could thus expose
the internal tranquility and concord
of the church to the danger of grace
disturbance.
While not taking sides with either
antagonist. the Pope continued. he

NO HORSE RACING AT
PROPOSED STATE FAIR

Jacksonville, Feb. 6.-That tire
State fair project is not PROPOSE
tion to bring racing back to Jack
.sonville, but purely and solely for
the purpose of advertising the real
resources and products of Florida,
was demonstrated yesterday by the
fat refusal of George Mason to ac-
sept an offer to subscribe 100000
for the stock of the organization
provided the charter should provide
"a thirty day racing meet, either at
one time or two weeks each in Jan
uary and in March. The offer was
made by a representative from par
ties in a distant State who would
not divulge the identity of his back
ers. He was ready, however, he
said, to pay in sufficient cash to take
care of the States requirements to
grant the charter. Mr.. Mason, who
is chairman of the charter commit
tee now working on the draft of
that important document, admitted
that 100000 looked good, but not
from the angle of race track promo
tion. 1t showed, however. the
widespread interest being taken in
the project, not only In Florida,
where the enthusiasm is general,
but throughout the country. This
was gratifying to the men behind
the active formation Of the organi-
zafion

followed with deep anxiety the ter
rible phases of the war.
Concerning our beloved Belgium
people," the Pope continued, I'VE
showed our sympathy In our letter
to Cardinal Mercier. Here We make
an appeal to the sentiment of hui
manity Of those who cross the from
tiers Of hostile nations conjuring
them not to devastate the invaded
regions more than is absolutely nee.

tary occupation, and above all not to
wound without actual necessity the
feelings of the inhabitants In their
dearest possessions, their sacred
temples, their minister of God. their
rights. their religion and their
faith. g"
The Pope said he ventured to ex-
press the opinion that God allowed
people whose thoughts were entirely
engrossed with things of this world
to punish each other with mutual
slaughter for the disdain and neg
lect with which they treated Him.
Continuing, the Pope alluded to
the recent earthquake in Italy say
Ing that other events had occurred
which had obliged men to humiliate
themselves before the powerful hand
! OF God, and he brought his allocu-
tion to close by urging the faith
ul to prayer.

Mayor Thompson on the Water Wagon

Two remarks, one made by the outgoing and the
other by the incoming Mayor of Chicago have spe-
cal significance at the present time.
ExMayor Harrison few days ago, gave to a
reporter his recipe for making mint ulep, which he
styles vision of heaven" and added 81 suppose
now you will print that in your old paper and have all
the folk doWn-state looking at wet advocate
Well, anyway don't know of anything in this world
that beats my homegrown mint juleps-as real
drink"
This remark of Ex-Mayor Harrison's recalls the
recent conversation Of Mayor Thompson with
friend which he said that he had cut out liquor and
cigars during the campaign, in order be fit for
the demands made upon him at that time and, as he
wanted to give Chicago good administration he had
decided to stay on the water wagon. If Mayor
Thompson keeps this resolution, does anyone doubt
that he will make better executive than his easy-go-
ing, mnt-ulep-loving predecessor?
