ARGENTINA READY TO AID
Belief Prevails That Nation Will Help
Allies


Buenos Aires, March 6-Obviously
officially inspired articles in the news.
papers here indicate that Argentina is
on the eve of radical change OF
front as regards the world war. These
articles, however, do not make clear
whether rupture with Germany is to
be brought or whether Argentina's
efforts will be confined principally to
the purchase and shipping of supplies
to the Allies.
The general belief is that any
change on the part of Argentina will
be an economic and not a political
one.
The newspapers argue that Argen-
tina can not aid the Allies with men,
but that she can do so with supplies.
The government now is treating with
American and British diplomats for a
treaty covering meat shipments SINH

vention.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE
No More "Waste orders"


There was a time when you possibly
felt that you had shown spirit of
parsimoniousness, or possibly of glut-
tony, if you left your place at res
taurant with all the dishes emptied
entirely Of thier contents. To use the
last bit Of butter on your plate, or to
eat the last bit of roll, seemed mig
gardly. It was an annoying habit of
some people who cleaned their plate
in this way in an absent-minded man
ner, and possibly caused smiles on the
faces of those with whom they dined.
A careful waiter didn't use to let a
patron get down to the last smitc h
of butter, but kept a new pat in readi-
ness as the size of the other waned.
And when you ordered, in those
ante-bellum days, you always planned
to order enough so you wouldn't have
to eat the last bit. You ordered q
full order and ate what you wanted.
To ask for a half order, because you
felt that you had an appetite for only
a half order, would have seemed con-
temptible.
But times have changed. and now
we are no longer gourmands nor
misers. but sincere patriots when we
take pains not to give what are called
waste orders" when we dine in res
taurants or hotels. On the menu
cards of many of the larger hotels
there is a request asking guests mot

And, furthermore: "If for any reason

suit and thus additionally cooperate

Many times in the serving of table
d'hote dinners or luncheons we used
to let the waiter bring on each course
as it was printed in the menu, and
then take it or leave it," as we hap

seen it. Perhaps we reasoned that, as
we had paid for it, it was ours, to eat
