Daily Talks By Mary Pick ford
PANsY.

They called her Pansy at school
that is, a few Of her intimates
did. Other people spoke Of her as
Marguerite. The name had been
her fathers pet name for his favor
tie daughter. He called her his
Hearts ease" and his "Pansy,"
and the name has chung 70 her all
her life.
Isn't that a lovely nickname. It
makes us feel what there is in a
nickname when it is bestowed by
someone who knows US. The name
seems TO proclaim the nature of
our innermOst selves.
Somehow, when one looks into
the subject, it is possible 10 see
where people have lived up TO their
nicknames. That old saying: "Give
dog a bad name and he will earn
it," is just as true in the reverse.
People live up 10 the highest in
them when they are credited with
the traits that make up their no
blest nature. 1t is only human TO
seek TO win appreciation, and the
bestowal of a name that calls for
all sorts Of beautiful characteristics
viii spur the owner Of that name
to develop those characteristics.
Pansy, however seemed to have
been just born a heartease. Her
smile was the sunniest and Ter
laugh the sweetest that you ever
heard. and there was a look Of
clear sincerity in her gray-blue eyes
that went right straight to ones
heart Her hand had a touch of
sympathy that cOrresponded to the
caress in her voice One felt. at

enough TO take in everybOdy's
weaknesses and trials and vexations
and find. among them, such a lot
Of sweetness that sympathy eX-
pressed itself in confidence that the
weaknesses and trials and troubles

The Housewives Economy Calendar
by Erancass MaxpEa1-

it, Somebody has told them that the
government asks them to be sparing
in the use of white flour and sugar
and fats-but what, they wonder,
will happen to their bodies and the
bodies of their children and hus-
bands, if they make these changes.
They keep moderately well on
mixed diet including white -four
and sugar. And they are afraid to
make a change.
So really il is a sign of ignorance
not to be willing TO make an effort
to conserve the table foods.
You know enough about dietetics
or you are intelligent enough to
find out if you don't know-to be
sure that you can substitute one sort
or starch for another, one sort Of
meat for another, one sort of sweet
for another, and still not disturb the
body's we'll being.
SO don't be afraid to try expert
ments. Keep your diet balanced, but
replace white flour with corn meal
and potatoes. Use honey and maple
sugar and molasses instead Of sugar.
Use a minimum of beef and pork
and substitute for them such other
meats as you can afford, plenty Of
fish, and dishes concocted of cheese,
nuts and dried peas and beans.
As for fat, nothing can be used
instead Of fat But don't waste it.
Use as much good butter on the
table as you wish and can afford
to have. But don't use butter in the
kitchen. Substitute drippings Of all
sorts. Learn TO save them and clari-
fv them and make them take the
place of butter and lard. And when
you serve fat meat, don't serve but
ter.
Yes, it is a sign Of ignorance, very
often. not 10 be willing TO change
our diet habits. SO let us go about
the matter bravely and sensibly,
sure that with a little care we can
keep the health Of our households
, up to par, keep orr bills down as
low as wartime bills can be kept
and release much food for the men
at the front.
One encouraging thing about the
] food situation just now is that too
much sugar is bad for US, and prob
ably as yet none of us has suffered
a bit because of its scarcity. We are
actually, indeed, better off for not
having it. Moreover, many of us
have habitually eaten too much. The
| present conditions give US a chance
/ 10 diet and regain our original form
and proportions

ing Of a sporadic nature con
tinued today in New York, as the
height of buying for the Sabbath
among Jewish people was reached. A
mass meeting was scheduled for
Rutgers Square, following which wo-
men expected to go en- masse to a
meeting of the board of estimate,
where il was expected Mayor Mitchell
would make some move to relieve
Conditions.
Eyes also were turned toward AL
bany, where Governor Whitman is
giving the food situation his atten-
ton. He has put the stamp of ap-
proval on a bill which would make
discretionary the establishment Of a
food dictator for the State. Tam
many Hall has countered this bill
with one which would appropriate
$25,OOOOOO for public market termin-
ais in cities.
Governor Whitman, in a statement
1T Albany, said he believed the pre-
sent situation to be the worst in the
history of the State, and declared he
intended to take any steps necessary
to give relief.

ARMY MAD DISBURSE
Senators Favor Appropriation for
Relief Of Food Scarcity.

Aroused over the shortage of food
and the consequent food riots in New
York and other centers, there are
strong indications today that Con-
gress will take action to relieve con-
ditions before 1t adJourns.
1t Is not at all improbable that an
appropriation will be placed in the
hands of the War Department, giving
the department sweeping powers for
the purchase and sale of foodstuffs in
cities where relief is needed. II this
is done the quartrmastrs will be put
in charge of the dispensing of food.
Along with that would go fuel.
Senator Borah, who is much stir
req up over the need for immediate
relief, and who is working on the
problem along with Senators Kenyon,
Lafollette, Norris, and Lane, is con-
sidering a resolution which would at
once appropriate 100000 for the
purchase and sale at cost through
some Government agency of food
stuffs and fuel for those suffering
from the high cost Of living.
Senator Lane has an amednmSnt to
the revenue bill appropriating funds
for immediate relief.
Senator Borah and others have con-
sidered the plan of putting the
money into the hands of the Federal
Trade Commission, however, it is
realized that If the War Department
Is entrusted with the task 1t will
see it through with celebrity and
energy.
Whatever is done, Their els demand
that 1t be done quickly. The slow
processes of investigation do not
strike men in Congress who believe
there should be prompt relief as ade-
Quate.
Senator MARITIME today introduced a
resolution for an embargo on food
stuffs and spoke upon 1t.
Declaring there is flood enough in
the United States for every mortal in
it If we do not continue to ship daily
to the warning nations thousands of
bushels of grain and tons of meat"
Senator MARITIME. New Jersey Demo
crat, today urged a food embargo.
THE hour has come for Congress
to act" he exclaimed. I'm this land
of wealth and plenty, such conditions
should be impossible. 1t is little short
of crime to permit expectation Of
good staples when our own people are
starving"
He denounced "revelry and waste"
in New York hotels, while women
riot for bread in the streets outside"

GHETTO BOYCOTT WORKS
Dealers Cut Prices as Women Re.
fuse to Buy.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.-Scores
of women in the Ghetto district today
are cooperating in their system of
boycotting certain high-priced prod
ucts on the market. There were no
Scenes" and the women are using
diplomatic and persuasive means to
get the merchants to lower their
prices.
But their boycotting is none the
Jess dEm. Leaders of the system ap-
preached every marketer that came
in, and the amount of high priced
food left on the dealers hands showed
the effectiveness of their missionary"
work. In many cases the dealers
showed a relenting disposition, sew
eral articles being noticeably lower
in price than yesterday.
= 1t was learned early today, how
ever, that the Jewish meat dealers are
planning an organization whereby
they can render the boycott abortive

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 2s.-One
sugar refinery striker is in a hospital

lowing another riot in the local sugar
refining district, when they were shot

was spirited away by his friends
when he was shot.
An ultimatum vas issued to the
strikers by Earl D. Babst, president
of the American Sugar Refining Com

issued a similar ultimatum to the
company.
