RELIEF ENTERTAINMENT OFF,
Date Cancelled on Account of Miss
Hollis Lecture.

Arrangements made for an entertain
ment which was to have been held at
the Belasco Theater the afternoon of
February Is to raise funds for the Brit
ish, French and Belgian permanent
blind relief war fund for soldiers and
sailors have been Cancelled owing to
the fact that Miss Winnifred Holt is to
make addresses February IL and 10 on
her work among the blind soldiers of
France. The committee in charge of
the entertainment preferred to forego
their plans. fearing they would conflict
with those of Miss Holt. Persons who
contemplated attending the entertain
ment are asked to send any subscrip-
lions they might wish to make to the
fund to Charles J. Bell, president of the
American Security and Trust Company,
treasurer of the local committee.
The British. French and Belgian per-
manent blind relief war fund for SOL
diers and sailors was established a
year ago, the object being to raise a
fund of such large proportions that the
interest from it would make possibl
the maintenance of schools. workshops
and exchanges for blind workers. Later
it was decided to expend a third of the
money raised for immediate relief
among the blind soldiers and sailors
and invest the remainder as a perma
nent foundation.

Grief Universal

1t seems the cost Of living is
not local i'll; all round the world
it's giving poor purchasers a chill.
Beside the broad Nyanzas the
people kick and roar, as buyers do
in Kansas, when at the corner
store. Where knobby alligators
infest the stagnant Nile, it takes,
to buy some taters, the poor con-
sumer's pile. By many an ancient
river, by many a stored lake, men
pay as much for liver as they
should pay for steak. Where
sweet and spicy breezes blow soft
DER Ceylon isle, the purchaser OF
cheeses forgets to sing and smile.
Among the hills of Sweden, mid
Greenland's snow and ice, the peo-
pies hearts are bleedin' when they
behold the price. Along the dark
Mckenzie, and by the languid Pc,
consumers, in a frenzy, are lifting
walls of woe. The Eskimo, when
buying his tenderloin Of whale,
the Hottentot, who's trying to eat
a henlock rail, all swell the angry
chorus, all weep and tear the
robe; the grief we see before US
extends around the globe.

DR., ANDREWS LECTURES
ON HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
Thrift a National Need, He Tells
Members Of Housekeepers'
Alliance.

With discussion of how to regulate
saving in the household and an ad-
dress by DR.. Benjamin R. Andrews of
Columbia University on Household
Budgets" thrift day was celebrated at
a meeting of the Housekeepers' AL
lance yesterday afternoon in the
Mason house. 1906 goth street north
west.
DR.. Andrews gave the housekeepers
pointers on how to keep down house
hold expenditures and various figures
on which different families could get
along. He said that the need of thrift
in this country is fundamentally ap-
preciated, and that there was a move
ment now under way for compulsory
thrift-to prevail upon every working
person to put up certain amount OF
his income for any contingency that
may arise. -
al hope we are going back to the old
custom of house ownership in this
country" said DR.. Andrews. Il stand
for house ownership because OF various
contingencies that may arise. Persons
who live on hired land and In hired
homee are going to lack the funda-
mental attitude toward government and
the community"
DR.. Andrews urged the housekeepers
to study their own Household not theo-
retically, but practically. and realize
the facts Of their expenditures. and to
find out in their own family how much
the food costs per person per day.
