Society and war,


Society, that proverbially gay and
frivolous world. is proving false to it's
name nowadays. and instead of social
butterflies and parasites, fitting from
one pleasant thing to another, there
are the most dildgent of worker bees.
There are no slackers among the, wo-
men Of society, and now they are think
Ing Of abandoning entertaining Of any
sort, on account Of the unnecessary ex-
pense and the food shortage. Today,
America Is facing q food shortage
greater perhaps than she has ever
faced in all her history. and upon
Americas food supply may hang the
fate Of the war; Women Of the coun.
try are just beginning to realize that
every hostess who serves refreshments
at her afternoon parties: every club
woman who prepares elaborate lunch
cons for her guests; every woman who
urges her friends to eat food they do
not care for, Ia unintentionally a
Stacker. She is wasting not only her
own, but her country's food supply.
For this reason 1t will be necessary
for everyone to aid, and to eliminate
refreshments at club meetings and
parties, to simplify menus and reduce
the number Of courses served at lunch
cons and dinners. 1t is an excellent
way Of showing ones patriotism, and
already many have begun it-although
it requires no little courage. That is
only one Of the many things that are
being done daily. Work for the Red
Cross still goes on, steadily and unob-
trusively; and even the tennis courts
and golf links are deserted. It is a
work-a-day world indeed, and only the
June brides save 1t from being COM
pletely practical and prosaic-bless
them! They are being feted and en-
tertained constantly and all the TO
nance and glamour Of June surrounds
them. Never has there been a lovlfer
month of June than this year-or is
it just that one appreciates all fleeing
beauty and happiness more at this
time of changefulness and uncertain
ty. At any rate it has been an ideal
time for brides, and they. too. appre-
ciate it, but even they take time to do
a little Red Cross and Navy league
work. with promise Of much more

The Hostess, Rlaht-Hand Man.

One Of the most popular Of the STAN
dard types you meet at an evening
party is the handy young man. Gen
orally his name is Arthur. He is one
OF the few old friends of George Hosts
bachelor days, who has passed the new
wife's censorship. Arthur is always
invited for holiday dinners and Is con-
sidered to be one of the family. He
knows where the ice-pick is hidden,
and he knows Familiarity the three
reaches who frisk in the kitchen sink.
Arthur may always be relied upon to
talk entertainingly to Mrs. Pilitkins,
or Mary Ellen Scraggs, poor dears.
1t Is Arthur who always manages,
Ihy some art, to fill that strange re-
quest for glass Of water, sure to be
made by some lady. Arthur passes
Sandwiches and Arthur is the person
who notices that the woman in the
blue foulard dress has no salad. Per-
haps there is reward enough for Ar

Accordingly. the right front
seat OF the car and the cushion on
the back seat were removed. In
their place, extending lengthwise
of the car, an improvised cot was
screwed to the support for the

cushion was then put on the back
seat to the left of the head of the
cot. thereby supplying a place for

WAR AND EXCESS PROFIT
TAX PAYABLE QUARTERLY

War and excess profit taxes are pay
able In quarterly periods. Secretary
McAdoo, in response to appeals made
by business interests, will issue an
order authorizing that payments be
made in that manner.
This action is to be taken without
delay, so that corporations and other
business concerns, whose fiscal year
ends on December 81, can arrange for
making their reports to the Treasury
Department and paying their taxes at
regular intervals during the coming
year.
Under the provisions of the bill pay
ments must be made not later than
vance is authorized. Many business
men protested against the collection of
the taxes at one time, claiming it would
drain certain districts of surplus money
and work hardships.
Beginning Saturday, a war tax of I
cent on each Is cents or fraction will
be charged on all parcel post mail.
