of State Department.
PASSPORTS REFUSED
Secretary Lansing Rejects
Applicants Wishing to Wis
it Belligerent Countries.

Washington, Dec. >. - Secretary
Lansing announced today that mem
bers of the peace party planning to
sail on the ship chartered by Henry
Ford will not be given passports to
belligerent countries, but only to neu-
trail states in Europe.
Secretary Lansing made it plain that
passports were given to American citi-
Zens for belligerent countries only
when business made it absolutely nee
essary to visit there or when they were
invited by some government agency in
those countries. Mr. Lansing explain
ed that no distinction was being drawn
between members of the peace party
and other American citizens and that
the general rule of the department OF
state was being applied.
The ruling, however, was generally
interpreted as meaning that the United
States does not regard unofficial mis-
sions in efforts to make peace by pri-
vate persons as business of an urgent
character.
Very few applications have beer
made for passports to visit belligereni
countries, the plan Of the peace party
being to assemble a convention In ont
Of the neutral countries and put into
operation their plans, using neutral
capital as a base.
Officials of the passport bureau have
not held up any passports for persons
of American birth but it was admitted
today there have been the usual diff
culties with reference to naturalizet
persons and the compliance with state
department technical regulations witt
reference to photographs.
Suffraget lis Refused.
Inez Mulholland Boissevain, the suf.
fragist. was refused a passport be
cause her husband is a citizen of &
| foreign country. The names of others
who may have experienced difficulty
in getting passports were not disclosed
Officials of the state department SAID
today there seemed to be some impress
sion in Europe that the United States
government in some way was sane
. tioning the Ford plan and they EN-
phasized there was not the slightest
ground for such an intimation.
Each application for passport will
be subjected to the closest scrutiny, il
being feared, one official said, that "a
wolf in sleeps clothing" might gel
aboard the ship and while playing the
part of an advocate of peace, be IN
reality a spy. The department is de-
ltermined that nothing of the kind shall
happen.
Applications for passports are few
Mr., Ford himself sent none.
New York, Dec. 2.-Henry Ford re-
turned to New York today from De-
troit and made his first announcement
of definite plans for his peace expedi-
ton to Europe, which will sail satur-
dav on the Scandinavian-American
liner Oscar II.
MIR. Ford denied that he had any in
tention of instigating a strike among
the soldiers In the trenches. He said

WHAT GIRLS MAY DO.
Why do many Girls live on fun Food
(By Jessie Roberts)

WHY no many UlriS llVc ON HUH FOOU :!
(By Jessie Roberts.)
sat opposite a girl in one of the
dairy restaurants one evening and was
struck by what she ordered. She. was
evidently a girl who worked for her
living, and she probably had little
time allowed her for luncheon. She
did not look robust, but rather tired
and pale, and she should have eaten a
could not afford steak and a good
soup, but there is plenty of food that
is not expensive and yet gives the best
results.
But this girl ordered grape fruit,
doughnuts and coffee. She ate very
: little of the doughnuts, crumbling
them on her plate, but she took two
cups of coffee.
For the same money she could have
had glass of cream and milk, nice
omelette, and baked potato. AS for
the fruit, she could have got two good
grape fruit at the grocer's and eaten
them at home for four meals at the
same price she paid for her portion.
Too many girls appear to think that
the sole purpose Of eating is to kill the
appetite. That is one of the effects Of
eating, but the real purpose is to
nourish the body. Fluff food won't do
that. 1t chokes off your hunger, but
you wear out on it.
I wish any of the girls who aren't
as rosy and healthy as you ought to
be would take the trouble to read up
a little on the question Of diets. Num-
erous good and simple books tell you
how to combine the necessary food
elements in an appetizing and econom-
ical way in order to get the best re-
suits. There are many tasy and nu-
tritious dishes to be had in restaurants
that will be just as good eating and
of infinitely more value if only you
would take the trouble to seek them
out. Think Of your body as a machine
that must be properly stocked, and
study up triie on the best ways to
stoke it. 1t doesn't only mean better
health, but a better appearance, too,
for no girl who is below par looks her
best.

YOUR MONEY.
What the Bankers Say You Can Save.
(By John M. Osl1ison.)

What the Bankers Say You Can Save.
(By John M. Oslsison.)
| The American Bankers association
is boosting thrift through Its savings
bank section-preaching sound saw
ings gospel.
In recent bulletin the association
demonstrated how a man earning $50
a week may, by saving SIS a week and
investing it wisely, double his income
at the end Of % years. Suppose he
began at the age of 22-by the time
he was so the income from his invest
ments would amount to a little more
than $40 a week.
This Is not a get-rich- quick scheme
said the bulletin. 1t is not; 1t is a So
Der mathematical demonstration of
what any one may do.
You decide to test the plan, and
take IS a week regularly to savings
bank that pays 4 per cent interest and
credits interest earnings every six
At the end of four years you have
to your credit $1,123.29; take out ST.
900 and put 1t in sound real estate
mortgage paying 6 per cent. Go on
then building up your savings fund
again until you have q thousand dol
lars or more; at the end Of the seventh
year you will buy another $1,000 mort
gage paying per cent.
In twenty-five years you will have
$4,000 invested in per cent mort
cages and $761.33 in the savings bank.
Three years later you'll have $4,000
in mortgages and $779.22 in the saw
ings bank, and your income from
mortgages and the bank will be ST.
051.20 a year, or $20.21 week.
Suppose you were in position to
set aside IS a week for every child of
| 70 mil 1nr xr,I,1
was ready to go into business or the
girl to get married, each would have
a snug little fortune to help along.
Making such calculations and plans
is fascinating work. Carrying them
into practice is not so easy. To judge
by results in this country, as reported
by experienced savings bank men,
regular saving is very hard.
1t will be made easier by keeping
in front of you some such table Of
possible results as the bankers asso-
citation has worked out.
