SUST in between the mid-winter
j desire for rich pastries, and the
summer urge for fruit desserts,
there come some frosty days when
we don't know just what we do
want for dessert. Try combining
fruit and pastry, and make some of
the newer pies and tarts and char
lottes that are good both for your
health and your pocket-book.
Did you ever go into the French
bakery, just around the corner, to
buy little of this and little of
that, and find that your few pas
tries had cost more than your porter
house steak? And the next day
when you went into the kitchen and
made your own. pastries, did you
discover that there was plenty for
two pies instead of one and that
the extra crust made whole dozen
of tiny little tarts to tuck away for
luncheon another day? That's
economy.
Economical and Good
If fresh fruits soar in price bit
beyond your budget, you will find
canned fruits quite as delicious,
with two real advantages-6rst,
that the fruits are always health
full because they have been gathered
at the correct degree of maturity,
and second, that it's always straw
berry time on the canned foods
shelf.

Washington can celebrate New Year
eve in more elaborate fashion at less
cost this year.
With the exception of one well known
night club, which is asking $40 for res
erVationS, prices for New Year eve cell
ebrations will range from So per per-
son at one of WaShington'S newest no.
tells, to $3.50 plate at a popular
downtown restaurant and cabaret.
A slight difference prevails among
all places as to variety of entertain

charge includes regular dinner which
will be served from o'clock on, and
an elaborate entertainment, featuring
special talent from New York, will be
carried on throughout the evening.
One of Washington's most fashion
able hotels is charging $3.50 per person
for a celebration which will commence
at IL o'clock.
A popular residential hotel is giving
special consideration to its guests fat

the $3.50 charged for eating supper and

The subcommittee will report to the
full Appropriations Committee next
Monday. 1t acted following testimony
by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde in

Hyde said he had not changed his

ORGANISE ACCUSED
OF $4,000 LARCENY
T. Guy Lucas Alleged by
Woman to Have Kept Sum
Entrusted to Him.

T. Guy Lucas, AZ years old, 812
Seventeenth street, described by the
police as organist and choir master at
st. Johns Church, Sixteenth and H
streets, was arrested today on a warrant
charging him with larceny of $4,000,
after it had been intrusted to him by
Mrs. Edith L. Townshend Of the Presi-
Dental Apartments, Sixteenth and L
streets.
Mrs. Townshend complained to As
sistant District Attorney Michael Keogh
this morning, and the Police Court
prosecutor Immediately ordered a war
rant issued. Lucas was arrested at his
apartment a few hours later by Detec-
tive Sergt. William L. Messer
Mrs. Townshend told Keogh that she
received commission of approximately
$4,000 for selling some real estate, and
afraid that the money might be taken
from her through suit, she asked Lucas
to bank it to his account. The organ
list, she said, was close friend and she
also attended the Sixteenth street
church.
The complainant declared that she
collected the money with the exception
of S4,500 This, she told Keogh, he
refused to give her, and she later dis
covered that the money had been drawn
from the bank
When Detective MeSser went to Lucas
apartment with the warrant, he said
the man exclaimed:
You can't arrest me, my man. My
name is on the social register"
Il can't help that" returned the OFF,
Ger. Its on this warrant also"
Lucas, according to Keogh, is a ma
tive of England, coming to this country
several years ago in pursuit of mu-
steal career. He will be arraigned in
Police Court tomorrow. He was re-
leased under SIS 900 bonds.

Dry Editor Says 40 Supporters

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The mystery of when the Wickersham
Commission will make its report is be-
ginning to clear If the report is of a
nature which will inject the prohibition
issue into the short session of Congress,
and thus add to the administrations
troubles, the prospects are that it will
be delayed beyond March 4. If, as many
people now are beginning to believe, it is
merely a report on existing conditions
with a recommendation that the re-
search be continued by some permanent
body, it can be transmitted promptly
and may be considered in connection
with the regular prohibition appropria-
tons which come up shortly after Con-
greS reconveneS.
Opinion has been divided among the
members of the Wickersham Commits
sion as to just what is the proper scope
for report. 1t is apparent that there
is no agreement on formula for solv-
ing the prohibition controversy, and
that earlier hopes that a definite recon-
mendation for revision of the Volstead
law have gone aglimmering.
Much Information Likely.
Undoubtedly much information will
be uncovered to show that most of the
gang warfare results from illegal dis
tribution of beer rather than whisky
and that there is a wide difference
among chemists as to what alcoholic
content in beer makes it Intoxicating
within the meaning of the Constitu-
ton.
The general belief now is that the
report will be eXpository and of a fact
finding character rather than an argu-
ment on the merits of prohibition as a
national reform. Much of the evidence
gathered on the economic value of pro-
hibition If published will be subject to
debate as probably viii many of the
statistics as to arrests especially be-
cause of the imperfect method of keep
ing records in various States.
Even If the White House does not
transmit all of the data to Congress
there will be requests for every bit of
information gathered by the Wicker
sham Commission, and If all of it Is
published it would make several thick
volumes. According to present indica-
tions there is very little hope of avoid
ing prohibition debate in both Houses
because the vets are more active than
they ever have been before and 1t is
admitted by some dry leaders that there
are at least 40 members of the House
of Representatives who are ready to de-
sert the dry cause.
Permanent Commission Issue.
The most important recommendation
expected to come from the Wickersham
Commission is that which will deal
with the creation of permanent COM
mission to observe the effects of prohi-
bition as well as the enforcement ma

One of Five Physicians Says

PARIS, December 29.-Marshal Joffre,
fighting losing battle with death,
sank into a state of extreme weakness
today and his physicians issued a
bulletin at o'clock describing his con-
dition as most grave.
A few minutes before the bulletin
was issued Gen. Isaie chief of staff
under the marshal, visited his old
leader and reported that the hero of
the Marine was sinking slowly.
The five doctors who have been at
the patients side day and night since
Saturday held out little hope that the
marshal could live through the day.
Marshal Joffre has reached a state
Of extreme weakness" the medical
bulletin read. His condition is most
grave"

DR.. Fontaine, one Of the five doctors,
added his own comment:

where science is powerleSs to help him.
Only his indomitable courage can work
a miracle now"
Since pm. Sunday the hero of the
Marine has been sinking. Most of the
time he has been in coma, with slight
intervals in which he seemed to recog-
niZe those about him, but could not
speak to them.
The following bulletin was signed by
attending physicians at 1880 o'clock this
morning:
THE night was without incident
Patient feeble, but preserving all his
lucidity. Pulse, go. Temperature, 37.s

BOSTON, December 29.-New rela-

the limit of microscopic vision. They
are one more Of the "filtrable forms Of
bacteria" which scientists have been

These filtrable forms are directly

they are tiny, living relatives or are
