TRIODELUTECE
IS COMING HERE
Three Noted Frenchmen Will
Be Artists For Wednesday
Club Concert April 1 :.

On the evening of Monday, April
1 delightful and unique musical or
ganization is coming to this city un-
der the auspices of the Wednesday
Club, to give a concert in Fahne-
stock Hall, which all classes of men,
bers are privileged TO attend. 1t is
called the Trio de Lutece, and num-
bers George Barrere, the world S
greatest futist; Carlos Salzedo,
equally acclaimed as a harpist, and
Paul Kefer, one of the finest cellists
in the concert field.
While they are foreigners, all
three have achieved a sure place in
American musical life, but their as
Sociation, musical and otherwise
dates from their student days at the
Conservatoire de Paris, where each
was graduated a first medallist
For time the war threatened se-
riously to disrupt the Trio de Lutece
Following its first highly successful
season in New York it. had been Civ
ing q number of concerts, public and
private in London. Mr.. Kefer, the
cellist had but just sailed for the
United States when the war broke
out. Mr.. Barrere and Mr.. Salzedo
had gone to the continent, the form
er to his villa in Brittany, the latter
to Switzerland to finish his inter
rupted honeymoon.
Then came the mobilization, Bar
rere and Salzedo Immediately report
ed and musical matters were for a
time forgotten in the great issue.
After some weeks Barrere Was dis
barred from service owing to his de-
fective sight. Salzedo however
marched away with the other Piu-
Plus to the battle front. II takes a
hardy annual" to survive a winter
in the trenches, and Salzedo is not
that. He came down with pneumo-
mia and was removed to a hospital
and upon his recovery was excused
from further service. And that is
ALL says SalZedo modestly-but
those who have heard him play, say
mo" something bigger, broader,
more human has come into his play

FAVORITE HOME SONG OF THE
BOYS "OVER THERE"

There's an old-fashioned house on an
old fashioned street,
In a quaint, little old-fashined town;
There's a street where the cobble
stones harass the feet,
AS it struggles up the Hill then
down;
And, tho to and fro through the world
| must go,
My heart while it beats in my
breast,
Where'er l may roam, to that old
fashioned home
Will fly like bird to its nest.
In that old-fashioned house in that
old-fashioned street,
Dwell a dear little old-fashioned
pair;
| can see their two faces so tender
and sweet,
And l love every wrinkle that's
there.
| love every mouse in that old-fashon-
ed house
In the street that runs up the hill
and down,
Each stone and each stick, ev'ry cob
BILE and brick,
In that quaint old-fashioned town.

MEAT CONSUMPTION MUST BE
REDUCED SAYS HOOVER.

That rigid economy in consumption
Of meats will be necessary if the needs
of the Allies and our soldiers in
France are to be met is evident from.
a telegram received from Herbert
Hoover, United States Food Admins
traitor by Charles Hebberd, Federal
Food Administrator for Washington
Mr.. Hoover's telegram follows: "The
necessities for shipment abroad to our
army and allies are very large, and
amount to, roughly, 75,000,000 pounds
of meat and meat products of all
kinds per week as against pre-war
shipment of less than 100000
pounds. Even with these large ship
ments the allies have found it neces-
sary to reduce consumption of all
kinds of meat, and absolutely to an
average of about one and one-quarter
pounds per week per person, in order
that no further draft should be made
upon shipping that is now required
for the transport of our soldiers.
"Our consumption is about three
and one-quarter pounds per week per
person, and if we are to make both
ends balance during the short market
ing season we must have perfect
economy. If the public will continue
in rigorous elimination of waste and
will further economic by reducing
the quantities prepared for each meal
of all kinds of meat and poultry, more
particularly beef, and will restrict
purchases accordingly, the food adj
ministration hopes that the necessary
balance can be maintained.
"a general adherance to these rec
concentrations will avoid the incon-
veniences which arise in many direc-
tions from meatless days, and will
cause less interference in daily pre-
paration of food.
"There is now a seasonable abund-
ance of milk products which can we'll
be substituted in various FORMS"

PROFITEERING IN ICE TO BE
PROHIBITED.

Impelled by the necessity for saw
ing amonia, which is largely used in
making explosives, the national food
administration has taken up the prob
lem of conserving ice, and has sent
out a statement calling on all con-
cerned to see that no waste is allowed.
Ammonia is also largely used in max
ing artificial ice.
In the same program is included
the purpose to see that no undue in
crease is made in the price of ice, as
its rse is necessary to save food.
A dispatch was 'eceived by Charles
Hebberd, lood administrato" for
Washington, as follows:
"The law department has ruled that
the manufacture and distribution of
ice comes under the food act. The
food administration is concerned that
there should be no profiteering in ice,
and especially that the cost of ice to
those elements of the community
which are least able to protect them
selves should not be increased over
last year unless absolute proof can be
given by the ice companies as to the
necessity. Any increase in the price
over that ruling last season to the
household consumer will, therefore,
justify investigation as to whether it
constitutes profiteering.
