Never before since the inauguration
Of the Washington birthday dinner
dance at the hotel Clarendon has there
been a more brilliant or gayer event
than that OF last night. and never be

there been more notable gathering
of distinguished guests present for the
affair.
Promptly at o'clock the doors of
the dining room were thrown open to
the many who entertained at dinner.
And the scene! Brilliant with my
riad of lights that glowed like so many
fairy lamps and with its background
of tall palms, and graceful potted
plants. the room was a striking setting
for the exquisitely gowned women and
their escorts, who gathered about the
prettily appointed tables laden with
flowers of every hue, that made the
room a riot of soft cOlOring. During
dinner the program of patriotic music
given by the Clarendon orchestra add
ed to the elusive spirit of gaiety that
took possession of everyone. From the
gay little flags that flaunted them
selves at each plate. to the ices mold

TO INSURE VICTORY
LL0YD-eEOReE TALKS
TO HOUSE OF C0l'NS

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Premier Lloyd
George told the house Of commons
today that Allied success depended
upon their ability to Solve the tonnage
shortage. which is affecting ordinary
needs of the nation and military exi-
gencies.
He said that the situation called for
the gravest measures.
The premier declared that there =
no sure way to victory without clear
ing the seas of submarines. He stated
that the government proposed to dis
pense with all nOn-essential importa-
tions to save tonnage.
The premier said that the stock Of
food in Great Britain at present ID
lower than it has even been before:
and it is essential to the life Of the
nation, he declared, that every possible
effort be made to increase home pr0-
ductiOn.
He announced that the government
would prohibit entirely the importa-
tiOn of apples, tomatoes and fruits.
and expressed the opinion that food
prices are not likely to decrease for
long time after the war, inasmuch ~
Germany will be a heavy purchaser
Therefore, he said. it is safe to grant
farmers minimum price over q defl-
mite period of time. which is the only
way to bring about immediate action.
The proposed minimum weekly WAGE
is 25 shillings for farmers.

BRITISH HAVE BABY SHOWS

London. July 16.-National Baby Week. which is to occupy the atten- ton of Great Britain during the sew en days of July, will be featured by baby shows and demonstrations in every important town and city in the British Isles. The prize babies this year will have to pass a more exact ing and critical examination than ever before. Only children between the ages of six and twelve months will be eligible in the competitions, and children showing suspicious symptoms of coughs. colds, sore throat, or contagious ailments will be vigorously barred.
 The perfect baby should have 50 good points, according to the stand ards agreed upon for the judges. Mental, weighing. measuring, physi- cal, dental. eye. ear and throat tests will be made in succession.

 Insulated frame potato storage houses are not used very extensively. As a rule they are better adapted to southern than to northern climatic conditions. The construction feature of such houses Is the thorough insu- iation of their walls, ceiling. doors and windows This type of storage housesis not to be recommended for northern locations, nor is it advocated for the South except where poor drainage conditions will not permit the use of the dugout or cellar style of house. It is not recommended, be- cause it can not be so economically constructed, nor does it furnish as good type of storage as the properly ventilated cellar storage house.
 The Aroostook type of storage house, with concrte or masonry base- ment walls and wooden supertructure. seems to be dtstinctively a product of Maine, and so far as has been ob- served is not found to nay extent out side of the state. It is an expensivelY constructed house and is almost al- ways located on a sidehile or knoll in order that advantage may be taken of a ground-level entrance. That such houses have proved satisfactory to the potato grower in Maine Is evident from the fact that practically Ae other style of potato storage house is in use in that state.
