the latter amount, he said, had not

Thanksgiving Day
Dinner for Five in
Family Costs 1925
This Is Advance of Sc Cents.
Entirely Due to the High
Price of Turkey, Says Fed
eral Food Administrator

A typical Thanksgiving Day dinner
for family of five should cost s825
this year and no more, Arthur Will
Jams, federal food adm; ;nistrator, said
yesterday.
Mr.. Williams issued menu contain
ing the essentials TO rthe years lead
ing meal and the fair price for each
part Of it, compiled after an investiga
tion by hi experts. A similar dinner
last year have cost S7.89, the food ad-
ministrator's figures showed. He ex-
pressed satisfaction because the up
ward trend of prices was SO slight.
The advance in the cost Of the dinner
is due entirely to the increased price
OF turkey. Other commodities register
a decrease Of twenty-four cents from
last year.
In Mr. Wiliams's list turkey is
quoted at fifty cents a pound, COM
pared with forty-four cents last year.
The food administrator nominated as
characterlsti tically American menu:
Soup, celery, turkey, cranberries, sweet
potatoes, turnips, pumpkin or mine
pie, nuts, fruit and coffee. He said he
purposely omitted raisins from the list
because Of their mysterious advance in
price.
"The increased cost Of turkeys" Mr..
Williams said, "is found outside the
city, and represents nincrcase to the
farmers. The New York dealers have
agreed to handle turkeys this year at
the same margin as last year for the
fancy grades and lower margin by
five per cent. for the other grades.
This agreement on the part of the
meat dealers was reached after the
menu was prepared, and unless the
very fancy grades are purchased there
will be a saving in these figures
"While the reduction in the general
list is less than the committee would
like, it is gratifying that in view Of the
increased costs on every hand during
the year, the last years total cost OF
food can be maintained at this time
and even bettered little. BY examin-
ing the list it will be noticed that in
the important staples there are ma
terial reductions; thus meat is lower,
potatoes and othe~ vegetables are
lower. while bread, -four and sugar re-
main the same.
Were tn edealers TO maintain the
margin agreed upon with the food ad-
minlstration last year, they would, in
fact, by selling at g reduction, for all
their costs have increased since that
time BY maintaining the same mar
gins they are in effect making reduc-
tiOns, and by lowering the margins as

BELGIANS BRAND

p A r A NJ OUR S
Shave Heads of Women Who
Were INVADERS Mistresses
BY HAROLD e. eEchroL.

European Manager Of the N. e. A.
Liege, Belgium.-The evergreen
arches Of Belgium tell the story Of
how Germany blundered.
Women with heads shaved, sinking
out of the country, are evidence of the
thoroughness of Belgium in cleaning
house.
Hundreds Of arches lining the roads
and streets from No-Man's Land to the
German border were erected by Bel
gians in honor of the soldiers who
passed under them following the
Boches eastward. ... -.,s :'%
The Beigians keep these arches
fresh with flowers, symbol of a Bel
GUM liberated and united more firm
ly than eyer despite fifty months OF
effort to Cermanize its people. ,.r -.
During the last three weeks hiye
been V'fn, many parts Of, .BelgiGm; : !
find that nothing makes the Betgians
angriere than tie thought of how the
Germans misread their character, ana
thought they could coerce and aDsoro
them. ~
The women with shaved heads are
found in several Of the cities. They
are OF different Municipalities. Through
their, occupation they lived in luxury
With German, officers bit, they were
lett behind when the Germans, f1etl. -
Then the, Belgian, women WHO had

Kitchens ha; their day. 1,'.'',s' .,...., -.
THEY CAUGHT THE t;EtlM:AjN
MISTRESSES AND CLIPPED THEIR
HAIR CLOSE. ~'@'.,h ,",
These branded women are now be-
ing permitted" one by one, to leave
the country.
The Belgians are house cleaning all
right. German street names In Brus-
sells and elsewhere are to be changed.
A number Of Germans who remained
behind in civilian clothes have been
arrested. Likewise, in various cities,
men known to the Germans as AT
TWISTS" have been Jailed. The Atkiv'
lists were persons who had been i'll
duced by threats or bribery to serve
them. or by capitalizing of Dutch OF
German sympathies. ..
The Germans even established al
Alkiyist capital at Client, separate
from the. Belgian. central government
at Namur.
But every attempt to make absorb
ton of Belgium by Germany easier
by dissension failed, as did the propa
ganda circulated by the women who
now have shaved heads. The plan
never had chance to succeed. The
laundering Boches misread Belgium
lust as they misread America.
The evergreen arches, the banners

celebrations show it. Everything
shows it,

The order was issued on representa-.

proposed increases were excessive.
