ADJUSTMENTS


Lilac Tirae.'' shown at the New Ma
tional Theater last night, is q glimpse
of life in its springtims. with both
sunshine and storm It Is a study in
atmosphere. Tho perfume Of old fash
toned flowers mingles with the smoke
of battle. The poetry Of youthful yet
abiding love Is interrupted by the sui
lon roar of the cannon The acting
throughout the cast is remarkably good
and tho scenic artists have applied
their most sklllful efforts IN carrying
out the appeal to the eye.
The principal figure In the story IS
Jane Cowl. who is mentioned on the
-xogram as co-author with Jane Mur-
I'm. The 6-amatic interest depends on
the display OF Miss Cowfs varied and
exceptional capabilities. She contrasts
the piquancy of a pretty little french
who finds the man she loves sent on
mission which seems certain death. she
is a heroine in her declarations OF de-
votion to country, but she 10 unable 70
control the heart-cry when one sns
loves is torn from her.
Three distinct elements figure IN the
story-the comedy. which depends
mainly on the efforts of the English
soldiers to learn French and the efforts
of the pretty French girl to learn Eng
fish: the melodrama, which tells of an
insult to q soldier which for long
time he must allow to go unresented
rather than sacrifice woman's repu-
tation. and the tragedy. relating the
old and tender story of orange blossoms
suddenly blasted to make way Tor
mourning weeds The comedy Is ire
sistible. developed for Its own sake pc

to do with the comedy or tragedy. Ine
tragedy Is appealing because OF the
emotional portrayal by Miss Cowi. us

the melodrama Is slight, and Its poetic

prehension he has caused than sugges-
ton that while roaming through no
mans land" he carelessly rntslaid his
into the hands Of people who made it
the basis Of q hasty and informal an,
nouncement OF his death. His arrival
almost neck and neck with his COM
panions assists in depriving OF plausi-
bility Miss Cowrs really great emo
tional scene in the last act
The male characters that figure most
prominently are those Of the lover, as
suned by Ornne Caldara. and the major,
by Henry Stephenson. Mr.. Caldara gave
his role q ring Of manly sincerity that

fine discretion the traits of generous

thority.

HOOVER CONSISTENT

WashingtOn.-What does Herbert
Hoover eat? Does he observe meat
less days? Does he conserve wheat
he preaches?"
Fresh meats of all kinds are served
in his table not to exceed three or four
times in a week, approximately every
other day. The meat menu is supple-
mented by using more fowl and fish.
Pure white bread never is found on
HoOvers table. Corn bread and corn
mullins arc consumed in great guam
titles. and graham bread and breads of
mixed flours are the order. Hoover's
table. in fact. has been the testing
ground for a great many experimental
breads.
Practically the only sugar used Is for
sweetening coffee and tea, and this re-
duced to a minimum. There are no
cakes heavily iced, no sweet desserts.
Unsweetened rice cakes are favoritc.
Fresh fruits are used for desserts.
The only sweet he uses in quantity is
honey.
Vegetables and fruits in season form
the backbone Of the Hoover menu. AS
to banquets-Hooyer hates them. He
never goes if he can escape. But the
few he has attended this year have
been primarily food conservation lay

The war has had stimulating
and wholesome effect upon this
country in one respect. Before
the big conflict started, nine
tenths of the dyestuffs consumed
in the United States came from
Germany. Not only was the
manufacture controlled there,
but also the supplies used in maxi
ing them. The cutting off Of
these imports had most drastic
effect on industries in this coun-
try employing more than 2,OOO,-
600 men. The old Saw that
NECESSITY is the mother of in
vention' had a new meaning.
As result great dyestuffs in
dustry has been created in this
country and in place of five COM
panies engaged III this business
at the beginning Of the war, we
have more than one hundred
now. Since 1915 there has been
invested S23O,OOO,OOO in enter
prises of this sort and our eX-
ports of dyestuffs in time of war
have been increased from $780,
600 to Sii, 100000. We have not
only become wholly independent
of the German dye makers, but
have created a vast industry
which will most assuredly be
! maintained after the war.

increase Of deposit currency
through war loans. In Germany
especially, there has been a great
issue of paper money on the
basis Of these loans.
In August, 1915, the quantity OF
money in the United States began
its rapid increase, and month
later prices shot upward, keep
ing pace with the increased
quantity Of money. The price
movement is also related to
credit currency. that is the
money in the banks which we pay
out in checks. The price level
changes in the same direction
with money and deposit currency,
and their rapidity Of circulation.
DR.. Fisher is not especially OPP
timistic as TO the lowering Of
prices because, as he says, from
now on We shall feel the war
loan initiation as well. Financ-
ing the war by loans when the
subscribers have no real surplus
to lend to the government really
amounts TO issuing paper money
so far as the effect on prices
goes. Vast sums Of money are
thrown into circulation, the cur
rency is enlarged and the cost of
living scars as it places the real
burden OF the war on those hav-
ing relatively fixed incomes.
II becomes all the more impor-
tant for our government to take
This situation in hand and arbi-
trarily fix prices by methods
heretofore unknown in the Ordi-
nary course Of business. Moth
ing will contribute more toward
chilling the war spirit of the peo-
pie than this continued high cost
of living. Conceding that DR..
Fisher is fundamentally right,
and his reasoning is good. it is
nevertheless true that food spec
ulators and the greedy barons Of
commerce have taken advantage
Of this situation. That has been
proven by government investiga-
ton and ii can be stopped by no
other authority than that Of the
government itself.

HIGH PRICES AND MONEY.

Since all OF us are interested in
the high cost of living. it becomes
important to trace the causes. In
this connection there is much
food for thought i'll the view of
Professor Irving Fisher. the econ
omist of Yale, that we have gone
wrong in search of the root.
We have heard a great deal about
speculation, the middleman.
foreign demand, destruction from
war. labor unions. cold storage,
marketing by telephone, etc.
While some of these factors may
be regarded as important in rails
ing particular prices. DR.. Fisher
concludes emphatically that the
fundamental and common cause
OF high prices is money.
Wherever there have been vio-
lent increases in the quantity of
money there have been changes
IN price movements. and DR..
Fisher in proof of his theory
shows the quantity of money in
circulation month by month and
the strikingly parallel monthly
index in prices.
In the United States there has
been initiation because of the ire
mendous import of gold from
abroad. The war has drained
US Of goods and flooded us with
gold and as this economist says,
goods are high in gold. Prices
are high in Europe, where there
have been large issues of ire
deemable paper money and again

We will first see kAs new war

when the rate of postage In
creases after November End.
Letter postage will then be three
cents and the post card rate will
be doubled. OF course, the pur-
pose of this change is to secure
increased revenue. and it is
thought that the decrease in the
number Of letters will be slight.
4 serious loss will undoubtedly
come to manufacturers of picture
postal cards. We will have
fewer reminders, and perhaps
less jealousy of our friends who
