IL is tuneful and it embodies the
great feature theme of impersonation.
All of New Yorks celebrities are imi-

to Bridgeport a genial change from

NO CELEBRATION
OF MARDI GRAS

Paris, March 1S-Mardi Gras again
passed uncelebrated and almost I'M
perceived in Paris. The traditional
pancake, victim of M. Boret's flour
restrictions, was absent this year, and
the high cost of paper made confetti
rare. The children and the recruits
of the contingent of 1918 celebrating
their deception by the medical exam
liners had the streets to themselves.
The only real celebrations were
among the Chinese munition workers
whose celestial New Year came with
the opening of the carnival. Several
thousands of them, divided into
groups, were treated to free exhibit
tons at the circuses and cimemas,
while real Chinese celebrations were
organized at the refectories of the diff
ferent contingents. Chinese feasts
were served and presents distributed
as nearly in accord with custom at
home as possible. But the Chinese
celebrate too quietly to make their
festival at all resemble the Mardi Gras
of other days in Paris.

LYRIC

1.-THE Daughter of Mother Machree"
will ,be the attraction which the Poll
Players will present at the Lyric thea
tire during this week beginning with
the matinee this afternoon. Unlike
some of the productions which have
been given at this popular playhouse
recently, which have been mostly in
humorous vein, the presentation this
week is a comedy of contrasts, con-
tanning an element of drama which
will please the most fastidious. The
lines are filled with situations which
are calculated to produce both tears
and laughter and the play, as whole,
while not of the sex problem variety,
contains a lesson and a moral not
alone for mothers and daughters but
for the fathers and sons as well.
The production tells a story of
pretty Irish girl who has spent most
of her life on the East Side of New
York and is suddenly transposed to
the castle of an earl on the Emerald
Isle. Here she is expected to con-
form to the customs of the ladies of
a high class which goes decidedly
against her grain. When it is sug-
Sested that money is superior to love
Sally O'Brien balks and informs her
tutors in no uncertain language that
for her real love can not be replaced
by wealth no matter of what magni-
tude.
The role of Sally will be taken
by Miss Warda Howard, the well
known leading lady of the Poll Play
ers, and she is given an unlimited
opportunity of displaying her versa
t;lity of talent. In memorizing this
part Miss Howard has worked dur
ing every moment of her spare time
as it is one of the largest she has
been called upon to study since her
arrival in Bridgeport. That she has
mastered it was shown at the re-
hearsals and it is a foregone conclT-
sion that she will give good account
of herself during each presenta-
ton.
THE Daughter of Mother Machree'
requires a full cast augmented by
several special people Dudley
Ayers will be seen as William Homer
and Miss Carrie Lowe will portray
the part of Sally's mother. The play
requires four acts beginning with the
Sally Shop on the East Side after
which the audience is taken for tril
with Sally to the estate of Lord Bel
more in County Wicklow, Ireland
where an attempt is made to make
real lady of Sally.

Thousands of Retail Grocers Sup.
port Food Administration
Rules.
SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY.
New Wheat Saving Program Demand
ed - Allied Food Shortage In
creases-America Must
Feed Fighters.

Explaining the United States Food
Administrations new $3.50 wheat reg
ulations is war time task the Ameri-,
can grocer has gladly shouldered.
Many stores are already displaying
their Food Administration wheat saw
ing pledge cards, that they have Sign
ed, agreeing to carry out the new
wheat program.
Each flour customer is now requir-
ed to buy one pound of cereal substi-
tute for every pound Of wheat flour.
The substitute may be of one kind or
assorted. This $3.50 sale is made by
weight and not by value of the COM
modities. There is, of course, no reg
ulation demanding the consumer to
buy wheat flour ut all.
A wide variety of substitutes has
been provided: Cornmeal, corn flour,
edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits,
barley flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour, soya bean flour, Feterita flour
and meals, rice, rice flour. oatmeal.
rolled oats and buckwheat flour.
Graham and whole wheat flour con.
stitute an exception to the national
regulation. Either of these commodi-
ties may be sold Mt the ratio of three
pounds to five pounds of wheat flour
that is, five pounds of graham or
wheat flour counts the same as three
pounds of the usual wheat flour.
Mixed fours form another excep.
ton. Where any flour contains so
per cent. or less of wheat it may be
sold without any substitutes Where
the flour Is mixed Mt the rate of 60
per cent. wheat and 40 per cent. of
other ingredients an additional 20 per
cent. of substitutes must be purchased
by the consumer.
Where necessity Is shown specially
prepared Infants and invalid's food
containing -four may be sold.
That the approved substitutes may
be assorted is a fact many grocers
and housewives overlooked for a time.
For instance, If a customer wishes to
buy a "a pound sack of flour the nee
essary substitutes might be assorted
as follows: Cornmeal, 8 pounds; corn
grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buck
wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch, pound !;
hominy, pounds; rolled oats, 8
pounds. ......
None of the substitutes should be
considered as waste purchase,
There are many household uses for
each. The eight pounds of cornmeal
can be made into cornbread, corn muf-
fins or used In the baking of wheat
bread.
Cornstarch is useful in making GUS
tard, thickening gravy or may be used
in cake baking. Corn grits fried like
mush forms delicious dish, or it NAV
be used in baking corn bread. Rolled
oats are used largely as breakfast Dor
ridge or in oatmeal cookies or in
making mullins.
Buckwheat -four may be used in
bread making, forming an excellent
substitute for one-quarter of the
wheat flour, but is especially choice in
the form Of buckwheat cakes for
breakfast.
With II wheatless meals needed
each week in America to provide
enough wheat for the allies, the Food
Administration believes the substitutes
will all be used to advantage.
