THE portrait of Rear Admiral David Watson

Fitzhugh Browne of Boston has just completed
q exceptionally successful. It shows the well
known naval officer seated in a chair of simple
design beside q table on which there Is a
model of the battelShip Maryland, (Which ne de-
signed), and beside which one notes blue
print showing boats hull-eSpecially suit
able accessories in the portrait Of one who Is
himself a distinguished naval constructor, and
was from 1914 to 1922 chief Of the division OF
construction and repairs of the Navy Depart
ment
Miss Browne has painted her distinguished
head is extremely well modelled, the expression
thoughtful but alert, the whole pose easy and
natural-even to the hands, which rest with
complete relaxation in his lap. Here is por-
trait which has certain pictorial features and
yet is, as all portraits should be, primarily
presentation OF personality and character, an
excellent likeness.
Miss Browne also completed during her short
stay in Washington portrait of Mrs Theodore
N. Gill, jr, of Georgetown, whom she has
painted in evening dress Of black velvet with
brocade fur trimmed cloak about her shoul-
ders. Broadly and competently painted, 1t is
also effective and good.

VAGABOND'S PARADISE. BY Alfred Batson.
illustrated. Boston: Little, Brown & Co.
THE vagabonds day must be pretty well over.
To be sure, the earth will continue to
spread itself as of old, but very soon now it
will have lost much of its unbelievable quality.
And marvel Is the vagabond's prime lure. Yes,
there is always left the art Of lying, "the ever
present help in time Of trouble" but with air
currents on the job day and night there Is
growing perfect checking system, so that
that most ancient and satisfying Of all the arts
is likely to slump to an inglorious desuetude.
However, there is sense in running out
to meet trouble. At present the vagabond Is
doing pretty well-thank you. Here Is one
right at hand in proof thereof good picker
Of adventure, too. Central America. reVo-
luton a minute. A quarter specially designed
for heroes and daredevils and the rest OF that
temerarious tribe. When the uprising slackens
for a minute there is always left the tropical
jungle. Here it is, harboring serpents OF un-
common guile and venom, fostering Sinewy
vines Of interlockng habit so subtle and strong
as to vie with the snakes themselves in their
generally impeding power
Luck is not half bad to this particular vaga-
bond. For it turns him into veritable tramp.
And what, ask you, could be a better lot than
to be just that--a tramp However, this Is
not the spot for discussion, since the fellow
must be his way-if he is going to hoof 1t
across Central America. And he is. Has TO.
So we go along as best we can by this second
hand chance. A good one. though, with hap
penings Of about every sort. Hungry enough
to shoot and eat boa the fellow was. He did
it. Ugh! He fell in, once. with couple or
real renegades. American brand. Not so IN
teresting as the Latin stripe of this order. A
bull tight Ladies, senoritas down that way

things to go on with Indifference to
the waste of mothers lives, assum-
ing, as people, that all was we'll,
when decidedly it was not. The sit
uatiOn cries to high heaven for a
remedy. And the remedy seems to
be at hand, as has been demonstrat-
ed wherever large numbers of moth
ers have received special maternity
care.
From the records of these cases
we are justified in concluding that
two out of every three women who
die from childbirth causes can be
saved. This means that 10000 wO-
men die needlessly every year in the
United States. If the same type of
obstetrlcal service on the part of
physicias, midwiVes and Obstetrical
nurses which is now given in few
communities and centers could be
made universal throughout the cOun-
try, this national disgrace could be
removed.

the humiliating fact that our death
rate from maternity causes is one of
the highest in the civilized world. In
no country where good vital statis-
tics are kept, do we find a higher
rate than in the land which invent
ed the observance of Mothers Day.
This unnecessary waste in the
lives of mothers is due to the fact
that adequate maternity care is not
available to the large mass of wO-
men in this country, who have bab-
les. 1t is also due in part to failure
on the part of the prospective moth
er to seek the early advice of her
family doctor. There is nothing pc
culiar TO our civilization to account
for our rate being twice that of such
countries as Denmark and Italy. No
matter how much we wish to believe
in Americas supremacy we must
deal with realities and not in wish
es only. We are careless of the
great mass of women in moderate
circumstances, and many other
countries are not.
Because it is not popular to speak
in this fashion, we have allowed

MARKETING PROBLEMS
Discussed

Kent County extension classes are
interested this month in learning
how to spend the food dollar to the
best advantage Miss Whitcomb,
their instructor, says, Families who
spend the most for food are fire.
quently getting the least for their
money. Elaborate meals are costly
and are no more nutritious than
simple ones that are planned to con-
tain food thai supply energy, build
and repair the body cells. To prove
her point Miss Whitcomb is compar-
ing two meals, one costly but poorly
planned with one inexpensive but
making use of the nutritious foods
This demonstration is being given
before each of her groups this
month.
THE wise spender, says Miss
Whitcomb, "witl provide first Of all
an adequate amount of milk, vege-
tables and fruits, after which bread
stulfs, meats, fats and. sweets may
be added according to the taste,
purse and energy requirement of the
family" .-......a-
Whole milk may be consumed
either fresh, evapOrated or dried,
and its use is most important even
in a restricted diet. Eggs now are
cheap and should be used extensive
ly. Cooked cereals are a cheap and
valuable source of energy Fruits
and vegetables unless -wisely chosen
are likely to be the most expensive
item each week. }FThey should new
er be purchased out>of season but
canned or dried products Substitut-
ed; a strong argument for more
canning being done in the summer
Cabbage is inexpensive the year
round and canned tomatoes serve
practically the same purpose as the
fresh variety"for they retain their
Vitamin content better. than most
vegetables when heated. They also
are interchangeable with citrus
fruit. Spinach and other green's are
inexpensive at present and should
be served frequently
Cost of meat is comparatively low
today. The cheaper cuts which en-
rich the diet and add flavor to low
cost meals should be used. The
W l'htt anu pleltc VI iltuluIn uudlIy
beef and breast and neck of lamb
make excellent soups and stews.
Staple articles should be pur-
chased in as large quantities as
practical, and perishables frequently
to avoid waste. Preference should
be given to boiling. baking, steam
ing and broiling rather than to fry
ing
And in conclusion Miss Whitcomb
gives this guide. Divide your food
dollar as follows:
One-fifth for vegetables and fruit
One-ffth or more for milk and
cheese.
One-ffth or less for meats, fish
and eggs.
One-ffth or more for bread and
cereals. .sa
One-ffth or less for fats, sugar,
etc. @aa
At least as much should be spent
for milk (incMding cream and |
cheese is used( as for meats, poultry
and fish.
