BY SALLY MONROE.

ONE of the last ways that many
American housewives like to cut
down expenses is in the matter Of food.
Perhaps you are one Of these house.
wives-and perhaps a time has come
when for one reason or other IL seems
imperative to save one, two, four, i've
or six dollars a week, and there doesnt
seem to be any possible way to do 1t
except in this matter of food expenses.
You have been brought up with high
ideals about food supplies. Your mother
and grandmother were, let us say, wives
or daughters of Well-to-do farmers.
They were used to rich milk, cream,
fresh eggs and plenty of them. You
have somehow bred in the bone this
idea of plenty and the best of the raw
materials of food. There are genera
tions of lavish housewives behind you.
Thrift Heritage Helps.
The woman of European parentage
has an advantage over you there. Habits
of food thrift were part Of her tradl-
tion-for food thrift has been matter
of necessity for centuries in Europe. Even
the Well-to-do French or English or
Italian housewife resorts to economies
that would seem too great to the
American.
The funny thing is that no amount Of
persuasion will usually have the ap-
parent result of convincing the extrava-
CANT American housewife that it is pos
sible to set good table on strictly
curtailed food allowance. She can read
endless books and articles on the sub
ject of food thrift, and not feel any
direct change on the subject. The only
thing that will persuade her is the
present actual necessity for cutting down
expenses and the realization that there
is no possible way of doing 1t save IN
this matter of food.
So here we area little group OF
would-be thrifty housewives-and once
a week We'll get our heads together
and consider ways and means of saving
that one or two or four or five or six
dollars a week without actually dimin-
ishing the nutritive value of the meals
we provide and without making them
any the less palatable.
Even if you are one Of those persons
who feel that living on budget takes
the romance out of life-even If you see
no special advantage in going farther
with your food budget than simply to
try to keep within certain sum every
week-the fact remains that the best
way to keep down meat bills Is to allow
yourself certain amount for meat
every day.
A man who manages a restaurant
that specializes in inexpensive table
d'hote dinners says that if, buying
wholesale, he can keep his price Of meat

American Housewife Finds
Thrift Budgets Difficult

down to 20 cents dinner he feels that
he is doing well. In buying meat he al
ways multiplieS 20 cents by the number
of dinners he expects to serve, in order
to see what he can afford to spend.
Helps Housewife.
Some such plan is good for the house
wife to adopt However, in the case OF
the restaurant keeper it is only fair to
have his dinners of equal goodness,
whereas the housewife has the privilege
of having one quite inexpensive meal
one day for the sake of rather ex-
pensive one the next. Her effort should
be to keep the average price Of meat
per person served down to some definite
amount. She may take 20 cents a
portion as her standard. If there is
need for great economy, Is cents may
be allowed, though with only Is cents
she will have to regard loin lamb chops,
porterhouse steaks and chicken in the
light of a rare treat.
To have a definite idea in your mind
of the amount of money you can spend
for meat each day is a great aid to
economy. Another aid to meat econ
omy is the habit of reading recipe
books. If you know your own pretty
we'll by heart, go to the public library
and get the librarian to give you
number of recipe books. Take them
to a reading room and then, with pencil
and paper that you have brought from
home, make little notes on various in
expensive meat dishes. Even If you do
not take down exact rules for making
new dishes, you will get new ideas on
the matter of cooking meat that will
be helpful to you.

FOR DRY POST
Winders Has Little Chance
as State Leader.

Despite the efforts of friends Of
DR.. c. H. Winders, acting superin-
tendent Of the Indiana Anti-Saloon
League, to obtain his appointment
as permant superintendent, an 'out-
side man" will be given the post, it
was learned today.
DR.. F. Scott Mcbride, national
league superintendent, has indi-
Gated that he already has fixed upon
a choice and in a few days will
write Bishop H. H. Fout, chairman
of the board of Indiana trustees,
asking a meeting be called.
BY virtue of his office, DR.. Nc
Bride will name a nominee who
then must be approved by the
trustees. DR.. McBride'S first choice,
Samuel B. Mcknight, Iowa league
superintendent, refused the post.
Dr. Winders was a candidate for
the Indiana SUPPLEMENTARY at
that time. Since McNaught's rejec-
ton of the offer, DR.. Winders
friends have redoubled their efforts
in his behalf. Some see possibility
of split over the matter which
might jeopardize the leagues in
f1uence.

senate lobby committee today he
had sent a check for $1,000 to SEN
ator King Dem, Utah) during the

The witness also testified to con-
tributing $1,000 to the King CAM

Without any mention OF Kings
name by the committee, Metz told
of stopping in Salt Lake City on
his way back from Alaska in 1928.

leading up to-"
This was not the only feeling be-
tween Caraway and Robinson which
developed during the session. Sena-
tor Robinson asked Metz about his
duties as treasurer of the American
I. G. Chemical Corporation, when
Chairman Carawey interviewed.
Answer the questions, although
they have nothing to do with the

"What do you mean it has moth

Robinson asked Caraway.
What he did in congress has
nothing to do with it." Caraway
said.

said.
Robinson tried to get an admis-
sion from Metz that the American

I. G.
Metz finally said it might be true
that the German I. G.. controlled
the American I. c., but denied it's
purpose was to destroy the Amer

Hits Poor
Drinking
Manners

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. %
J. One of the great troubles
with the prohibition law is that
it has ruined the drinking tech
nique of our flaming youth.
At least, this was one of the
many objections to the law ex-
pressed by Mrs Graham Dough-
erty, young society matron here,
in an address to the executive
committee of the Pennsylvania
division of the Women's Organi-
zation for National Prohibition
Reform. She is chairman of the
organization.
Mrs. Dougherty told the COM
mittee that since prohibition
came into being the young folk
had forgotten the art of taking
their liquors like ladies and gen.
tlemen. She declared she in
tends to train her two young
daughters how to take their
lotion" like ladies when they
grow up, IF prohibition still is
in effect"
DISCUSSING scenes she said
II she witnessed at a Yale
Princeton football game not so
long ago, the young society ma
tron declared, whimsically:
THE hip flask has replaced the
chrysanthemum at football games.
At a recent game I attended, be-
tween Yale and Princeton, young
men and women, and older ones,
too, drank openly in the stands.
I never saw so much drunken
ness at any football game"
There is no use in our trying
to evade the issue or close our
eyes to it," Mrs. Dougherty said.
"Since liquor flows freely in our
state and other states, it remains
for us to teach our children to
drink in moderation, and like la
dies and gentlemen"
