Panama Chiefs
Arriyal Causes
Stir in Society
THE arrival on wednesday Of sue

TINE arrival on wednesday OF such
a distinguished guest as the
President-Elect OF Panama. Dr.
Belisario Porras. caused some stir in
the otherwise tranquil social life OF
Washington. Had Madame Porras ac-
companied her husband to Washing
ton the round OF festivities would
have taken on a little more feminine
tone, which OF course always makes
parties more attractive, at least we
women folk think so any way. and
IL surely makes more interesting
reading matter.
However. there was quite a furry
of entertaining for Dr. Porras. AMI
the fact that he was here such a
short time. kept him on the go AL
most every minute during his visit
Then, you see, the Secretary Of
War Baker was called out OF town.
which meant Mrs. Baker doing the
honors for him. so when she enter
tained our guest OF honor at tea at
Beauvoir, 1t gave at least the official
women folk and wives OF the army
officers chance to welcome our
former minister from Panama, who
is our old friend, and very popular
here.
1t was during his service here as
minister from Panama, in which
capacity he served for many years,
that he was married to Madame Por-
ras.
And II was with general regret that
she did not come with him. But with
an infant son TO look after she has
taken an apartment on Riverside
Drive. where she will stay until their
return to Panama next month.
You. know Washington feels a par
ticularly personal interest in her be-
cause she came here as bride per-
haps eight years ago. and as the
heroine of as pretty a romance as
often thrills the Diplomatic Corps. At
that time DR.. Porras, minister of
Panama to the United states, had been
a candidate for his party's nomina-
tion for the presidency of his coun-
try. He was defeated and his success
ful rival ultimately became President
of Panama DR.. Porras, who was en-
gagged to Senorita Alicia de Castro. a
niece Of the President OF Costa Rico,
asked for leave of absence that he
might attend his own wedding in San
Juan. and II was denied him, which
was certainly pretty small political
potatoes, and he was in an extremely
difficult position. Thousands of in
vitations were out for the wedding
and friends and relatives and officials
were coming from considerable dis
tances to be present ct it. But he
could not well defy his president.
Then the bride rose to the emerg-
ency She cabled him that she
would come to America and wed him
there. She did-bringing along a
ship load Of relatives and friends, in

HONORs FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE WORLD.

I
Miss Boardman's efficiency and de-
votion have been recognized by gov
ernments and rulers and by great in
stitutions all over the world. The
American Red Cross under her direc-
tion again and again rushed to the
rescue In times OF stress. plague OF
famine, fire or flood, I'm any part OF
the world. Certainly she thoroughly
earned the unprecedented honors
shown her. j do not recall all OF
them-but / do remember that the
King OF Italy gave her the Order OF
the Crown, and she has a similar
decoration from the Emperor of
Japan. But more than all these she
prizes the NJ. A. which Yale Univer-
sity bestowed upon her-the secon5
time in its history it had SO honored
woman.
II seems rather pathetic that just
at the time that Miss Boardman is
receiving this new honor the body
OF Miss Jane Delano, for years
closely associated with her in the
upbuilding Of the Red Cross organi-
zation, should be on its way home
from France for interment at Airing
ton. Miss Delano was at the head OF
tHe nursing StTNlCe OF Ine american
Red Cross, and went over to help di-
rect the labors of her division in
France during the war and died ov'
thereof a long-slanutng organic
disease, TO be sure-but one which
would not have proved fatal prob
ably for many years but for the ter
rifle strain of her work over there.
Undoubtedly Miss Boardman IL an
interesting addition to the group of
brilliant women whom President Will
son certainly has appointed to more i'm
portant executive positions than wom-
en- have ever before held. You remem-
ber that within the last six months
since woman suffrage has been praCti-
cally assured-he has named Mrs Clara

which have been part OF his daily
program, and he was giving every
evidence OF his pleasure in having
them with him. But the fact that he
and Mrs. Wilson went down to the
station to meet Mr. and Mrs. Sayre
was regarded in Washington as de-
cided evidence of his greatly improv
ed health. The Sayres returned early
in the week to their summer home at
Vineyard Haven. where they had left
their little family while they ran
down for a little visit with Mr.. Will
son. Mrs. Sayre is, according to gem

favorite of his three daughters--and
was generally considered the pref
! tiest when they came to the White
House nearly eight years ago.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-The high
cost of living was handed the first
perceptible jolt when food prices took,
a lively tumble here yesterday. 1nd;-
cations of further reductions in many
foodstuffs were apparent. Eggs. but
ter, sugar and meat were the prin
cipal commodities to hit the long
awaited toboggan slide.
Food experts here attribute the fall
in prices to three reasons:
THE unexpected drop In foreign
exchange, practically stopping all cX-
port

country.
"a huge surplus of food in cold
storage plants and warehouses;
Prediction is being made by those
in close touch with the food situation
that the trend of prices will decline
steadily until something near the
prc-war level is reached.
At the office of the Federal Food
Administrator, Arthur Williams, il
was said that eggs have dropped from
90 to 81 cents q dozen for brands Of
selected fresh variety. Butter has
been reduced from GSia cents a pound
to 81 cents, and meats reduced on an
average of . cents a pound.
