BEEFLESS DAYS
 FOR N. ', HOTELS.
''War Bread" to Be Served;
 Less Butter and Fats Used.
PORK WILL BE GURTAlLED

Most Breakfast Rolls Will Be Baked of
 Other Than Wheat Flour-Toast as a
 Garnlsh to Meat Dishes Is to Be
 Eliminated - No Cheese For Free
 Lunch Counters.
 Suggestions for one beehess day each week, with the serving of war bread" at every meal and a radical curtail- ment in the use of pork products and all butter and fats, have been made to Herbert c. Hoover, prospective na- tional food administrator, by the New York City Hotel association. If the plan Is approved by Mir. Hoover-and 1t was devised along lines suggested by him in his food conservation an- uncements-patrons of New York hotels will probably have their first beefess day in the near future. At the same time menu cards will con- tain announcement of the inauguration of one day each week on which no beef will be served and of curtailment in the service of other products in which conservation of existing supplies is necessary.
 The scheme was presented to MT Hoover by Thomas D. Green, presi- dent of the Hotel association, and John McE. Bowman, in cooperation with Patrick V. KyRe, James Churchill and II. E. Taylor, representing the Society of Restaurateurs. The Hotel association represents lO5 hotels, which serve about 100000 meals each day, and the Society of Restaurateurs includes in it's membership all of the biz restaurants of Broadway and many of the smaller ones in other parts of the city.
 Tentative regulations governing the plan have been arranged and probably will be made permanent They are:
 First.-Individual service of bread and butter of uniform weight, the rolls to weigh from one to one and one fourth ounces.
 Secoud.-At least 10 per cent of other flour to be used in making wheat bread and rolls.
 Third.-Most breakfast rolls will be baked of other than wheat flour.
 Fourth.-StaIe bread and toast trim mings are to be made into war bread' for runStS 0nd pmnlOyppS.
 Fifth.-Elimtnation of rough bread, which requires more butter than smooth bread.
 Elimination of toast as a gar niSh to meat dishes.
 Seventh.-Discourage the use of fresh pork.
 Eighth.-Broiling roasting, braising and stewing is to be encouraged and frying discouraged to conserve butter and lard.
 Ninth.-Serylce of veal, lamb and sucking pig to be discouraged.
 Teuth.-Beef to he eliminated one day each week other than Friday. Eleventh.-CheeSc is to be removed from free lunch counters.
 Twelfth.-The use of sea food, fresh vegetables and fruits is to be encour- aged.
 The war bread" which Is to be baked in the hotels is based on a sim pie recipe and can he made by any housewife. It is: On the basis of & butter tub of stale bread, crUStS, etc, add ten quarts of water and ton ounces of salt; soak thoroughly and strain through flour sieve. For this Quan- tity use one-hOlf pound of yeast and enough flour to make a very stiff lnlltrh

GUARD DUTY.

Just as outpost, advance guard and
patrol work are pre-eminently impor-
tant, all guard duty is serious business
for the soldier. In war time and in
hostile territory 1t has been an imme-
mortal rule to punish with death senti-
nels who fall asleep on their posts. And
1t Is as sentinel that the young SOL
der may first contract that sense of
personal responsibility which renders
him not only valuable member Of his
own company, but also prepares him
for promotion.
No man can rise from a private to a
first-class private, from first-class
private TO corporal, from a corporal
to n sergeant from sergeant or first
sergeanti'to commissioned officer, I'M
less he has evinced a disposition to
take responsibility. The men least
capable of accepting responsibility lag
longest in the ranks; the men who
show earliest signs of assuming re-
sponsibllity-gladly and capably-will
be first to advance.
Guard duty Is prescribed In detail In
separate guard manual. This con-
tains many regulations for the proper
performance of this duty; but In gen.
eral 1t may be said that guards In camp
or garrison preserve order, protect
property and enforce police regulations.
A tour Of duty for the guard Is twenty
four hours, out of which a sentinel is
on duty two hours out of every six. He
is under the supervision of the officer
or noncommissioned officer of the
guard, who In turn is responsible to the
officer of the day.
Guards receive two classes Of orders
general and special. Special orders
relate to posts with certain peculiari-
ties and to particular duties. But the

New York.--It is often said that the
fashion experts dwell too much upon
line and material and are given to ig-
noring the extraordinary value of coll
ors. ~
The charge is true. g At least, the
truth of 1t dominates the majority of
dressmaking houses and is present In
the majority Of women's minds. Color
Is In reality SO vastly important that
1t should rule every department Of
dress. There are colorists who over
estimate its value to women, and they
are the ones who actually frighten the
majority into a conservatism that
often borders on the ugliness.
The trouble with the artists lies In
the fact that they do not seem to have
any tenderness or courtesy toward the
co!orlng of the woman who Is to wear
| the garment. They assimilate and put
into juxtaposltion colors that have ex-
| traordlnary beauty in themselves, but
| when they are placed next 20 the hu-
man skin, hair and eyes, they kill what
nature has done. This Is glorifying
the artist at the expense of the woman
in way that Is not fair. The gown
Is predominant its beauty draws all
eyes. The woman is Insignificant; the
only time she comes into the question
is when the observers think how un-
attractive she looks in that glorious
frock.
Women In the Wrong coIors.
There Is no temptation in costumery
greater than the one offered by gown
built out of an exquisite harmony of
colors. 1t appeals to every woman but
the one who is shocked by thread
of scarlet" as Mrs. Stuart puts 1t In
one of her admirable short stories.
| Mind you, these women who feel that
drab colors are part of the respectable
| ity of life and who have traditional
and mystic belief that the color of the
scarlet letter used by Hawthorne was
| in itself an acknowledgement of sin,
are not out of existence. The Puritan
stock lives on, although 1t may be In
| Montana, Texas or Alaska, instead of
n small New England village.
| But aside of this well defined seq
ment In human society that looks upon
scarlet as the color of all that should
not be, and upon black and gray as
the colors that spell responsibility,
emotional limitations and the straight
and narrow path, there are thousands
Of women who are attracted to colors
as goldfish to water. They find in the
brilliancy of tone a kind Of mental and
| physical stimulation that the saynges
! probably feel.
So 1t Is that when the gifted artist
dressmakers, weavers and dyers throw
out to the world bits of colored bait,
as our forefathers did to the Indians
when they wanted furs, a large seq
ment of women snap up the gifts with
delight.
Color as an Accessory.
The world Is wiser and better
dressed when the great artists produce
glorious colors as accessories to gowns
