Shepherd Program

This program, given by the Junior
Epworth League at the Methodist

was much appreciated by those pres
ent. The offering taken was for new,
needy church at Port Richey.
The Juniors expect to give SINH

Change of Social Life in the National
Capital
Never has the city been so filed
with interesting and distinguished
people. Never has the atmosphere
been so full of activity. Where other
cities cannot corral enough men for a
small dance, here the men are actual
ly playing wall flowers even at the
charity balls, a condition unprece-
dented in the social history of the
city, all because of the great influx
for the war period.
Dancing parties, dinners, theaters
are among the favorite social diver
sions. Visiting has been discouraged.
The cabinet hostesses do not receive,
except two who remain at home We'd
nesdays. The senatorial hostesses are
too busy with war relief work to re,
turn visits and have decided as a body
not to receive them except on special
occasions. Few of the resident sets
are observing their days at home.
Afternoon tea is growing to be
part of theadaily routine in this coun-
try, especially in Washington. Time
was, and not so very long ago, that
the tea table was not known in the
typical American household. Now it
is quite the general household neces.

In July, the Council Of National De-
tense announced that in the autumn
it would endeavor to enlist people gen
orally against the purchase Of holiday
gifts. So much objection was made to
this on the part Of manufacturers and
merchants on the ground that much
holiday material had been manufac-
tured and purchased by merchants
that a hearing was granted on August
26th, after which the Council Of Ma
tional Defense issued new state
ment in part as follows: "The Coun-
ell has heretofore emphasized the ne
cessity of restricting Christmas buy
ing during the coming fall on account
of the necessity Of conserving labor
and material in the manufacture and
sale of Christmas gifts and OF saving
the transportation and delivery facil-
tiles necessarily involved in the large
volume Of Christmas purchases. Az
ter conference with representatives Of
leading industries and retail interests,
il is found that the manufacture OF
goods for the coming holiday season
has been substantially completed, that
the transportation Of the goods to the
point Of sale is also largely done and
that much of the material used for
Christmas purchases is the waste ma
terial derived from other processes Of
manufacture. The retail interests rep
resented at the conference have
agreed not to increase their working
force by reason Of the holiday bust
ness over the average force employed
by them throughout the year and not
to increase the normal working hours
of their force during the Christmas
season. They also agreed to use their
utmost efforts to confine Christmas
giving, except for young children, to
useful articles and to spread the peri
cd for holiday purchases over the
months of October, November and De-
cember. In order to relieve the trans
portation facilities Of the country
from a congestion in the latter half Of
December which would be so hurtful
TO the interests Of the nation that it
cannot be permitted, the retail inter
ests have agreed to cooperate further
in the campaign now carried on un-
der the auspices Of the War Industries
Boardto restrict deliveries and TO in
duce customers to carry their own
packages. The retail interests have
agreed to make announcement TO this
effect in their advertisements COM
mencing early in September. The
Council looks to organized business

.PICEF0RD TYEATER At
MARIETTA ABLAZE
FIRE ORIGINATING IN CEILING
DAMAGES PLAYHOUSE AND
TWO OTHER BUILDINGS.

Marietta, Okla. Jan. 15.-The Pick
ford Theater, Josh Ronfro, proprietor
was badly damaged by fire which
started above the ceiling at o'clock
last night and burned until 9 o'clock
before it was under control.
The blaze was first discovered by a
person i'm the audience, which was
small because Of the early hour and
the inclemont weather. 1t has not yet
been determined whether the fire was
caused by defective tluo or bad wiring.
The flames were communicated to
the ceilings Of the two adjoining build
ngs, considerable damage being done
to each. One was occupied by Frens-
ley Bros Garage, from which all the
automobiles We're removed without dam
age and left in the street all night
while the other was a vacant store in
which basketball was frequently played
Due to the fact that a new front had
recently been put in the theater, the
iiremen We're unable to work to good
effect on account Of the storm door
The lights went out when the fire
started and only lanterns We're avail
able to use on the inside Of the burned
buildings.
Mr. Renfro and the owners Of the
buildings injured are unable to put any
accurate estimate on their losses, bu
they wiz probably amount to a con
siderable sum. The Pickford Theatei
will be repaired at once and the pic
tre show will go on without interrup
ton, as temporary quarters have al
ready been secured.

NEATLESS AND WHEATLESS DAYS
TO Be ENFORCED AGAINST ALL
HOTELS, CAFES, AND DINING CARS

Washington, Jan. 15.-Buls to amend
the food law so as to empower the
food administration to compel obser-
vance of wheatless and meatless days
or any other measures it proscribes,
were introduced today by Representa-.
tive Lever and Senator Pomcrene, act.
ing for the administration.
Mr. Lever explained the bill in the
following statement:
"The food situation the world over is
acute, and demands upon us are grow.
ing each day. With a disrupted labor
situation, production is approaching its
maximum, and the vital question there.
fore, is one Of conservation of foodstuffA
I'VE must strike at the waste evil.
The administration has undertaken to
do this through voluntary agreements
and has succeeded wonderfully well both
in saving and stabilizing prices, but
there is a percentage of recalcitrants
who constitute the fly in the ointment
Of the whole situation, and these we
have not been able to reach by appeals
to their patriotism. We propose tc
reach these under the bill which Sena
tor Pomerene and l are introducing
today
The bill is especially aimed at hotels
restaurants and dining cars--publlc eat
ing places. In such establishments, ]
should think, probably SO per cent oi
the food Of the country is consumed
and II is in such places that we find tn,
greatest waste. There should be power
in the hands Of the food administration
