Chowders
One of the things the war did for
us alorg food lines, was to irake us
willing to try new foods, and hence
become acquainted vith the special
dishes of foreign counties and far
parts of our own Country. One of
the most difficult 'vvs to popular
ize in the middle west, inland as we
are, is fish. We accept salmon, hut
serve it in comparatively few -ways,
we use halibut occasionally, and
there fish cookery stops for many of
us. I know the reason for this
state of affairs, it is difficult to get
fresh fish in the Omaha markets
but ve get out of the habir of even
asking for it.
Ir a person has ever lived on the
sea coast for any len"h of time,
especially on the New v iland sea
coast, he has learned iO enjoy fish
chowders. If you happen never to
have eaten them, the mixture of in
crecients sounds almost terrifying;
but the taste of the resulting pro
duct shows that the mixture blends
most admirably. f have tried chow
ders on three different groups, all
somewhat skeptical of fish combina
tions, yet all have pronounced the
dish truly delicious.
The special merit of a chocder
is the ease and quickness of prepara
tion, combined with its "filling"
qualities and cheapness. A chow
der is a so-called "one-dish" meal
for nothing need be served with it
to make a meal complete except
bread and butter and dessert, and a
crisp salad if desired.
While the original chowder was a
fish dish, it is possible to make a
delitious corn chowder, or to sub
stitute meat or poultry for the fish.
A standard recipe as given belo'v
will serve six or seven persons,
allowing two generous helpings
apiece. Chowder is served in bowls
or soup plates as it is a cross be
tween a soup and a stew.

A New Sports Suit
A)
By tJERTRUDE BERESFORD
The new sports suits are frequently
made of white flannel or of heavy
white sports silks. When combined
with vivid blue, rose or green, these
fabrics make picturesque costumes.
The narrow skirt, which is slashed
and buttoned at the lower edge is
characteristic of these suits. Though
a vidth of easy, graceful stride is
urged upon any woman who does
not want to appear ridiculous as she
"minces" along. This model of white
flannel is trimmed with a vest of old
blue flannel. Pockets and cuffs of
old blue with overlapping points of
white give distinction to this design.
A good example of the severe sports
hat which is very smart is illustrated
in this shape of rough straw with a
ribbon band as its only trimming.

Advice to the Lovelorn
: . ' o , i
"G" writes a storyette which points out that the color of a
girl's face does not indicate her character in three
instances she knows of in her boarding school.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX-
A Storyette. (
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
have been reading your column, es
pecially Blnce the "hand painted
dolls" have been discussed, and have
enjoyed it thoroughly.
Although I missed C. O. A.'s letters,
I infer, from the other letters 1 have
read, that C. O. A. Is prejudiced to
said "hand painting" and that he
criticize! the character of girls who
do so.
For the last two years I have been
attending a girls' boarding school,
and have had a chance to study three
types of girls all from the best fam
ilies. "Lucille" was a plain girl, used no
powder nor paint, dressed simply,
and seemed a quiet sort of girl. Yet
she was bad, or, perhaps, I should
say, her ideals were not the high
est. "Marian" was rather striking In
appearance, especially when not
"made up." I cannot say that she was
attractive, for she certainly was not.
She was selfish, "two-faced"
sneaked to break the rules of the
school, and then lied to get out of
the punishment. She powdered and
painted, so co.ild readily be called
a "hand painted doll."
"Adelaide," when not using paint,
was plain looking. Yet she was at
tractive. She only looked more pleas
ing to the eye, when a touch of paint
was added to her cheeks. I say she
was attractive because she had a
ready smile for every one, she be
lieved in "fair play," was a "sport"
to break the rules, but also a sport
to report herself and take the pun
ishment without grumbling.
All three girls were popular with
the same boys, but in three different
ways.
"Lucille" and "Marian" were never
"rushed" at the dances, though both
were good dancers. They were sel
dom asked to go to the opera or any
place where the boys' parents were
to be. "Lucille" was asked to go
auto riding or strolling. "Marian"
received lots of letters and a little at
tention from the boys at the school
parties. But when "Adelaide" ap
peared they excused themselves to
give their attention to her.
"Adelaide" received the flowers
and candy, the attention and admi
ration of all yet "Adelaide" painted.
After alU isn't it the heart of the
girl that counts? I'll admit that
some girls go to the extreme with
their paint, but haven't you noticed
that a man's eye will Invariably
pick at the brightest colors first?
Which is to blame the girl or the
man?
Are all girls to be so severely cri
ticized simply because they make
themselves more attractive by the
use of "artificial coloring?" Why
not look beneath the paint and study
the heart of the girl before you
Judge? Have I made myself under
stood? Am anxious to read your
opinion, Miss Fairfax. G.
My opinion was printed January
30th, in the Evening Bee, and Jan
uary 31 In the Morning Bee.
As to Imitations.
Bear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
We have a question we would like to
have you answer in The Bee for us.
We were told that when you go with
ayoung man the first time, and he
takes you home, that you should ask
him to come back again (if you care
If "Lonesome Mc" will send his
address (not for publication) his
troubles will be over. ,
for his company), whether he says
anything about it or not. Now we
did not think this proper, so did not
do that way.
Please tell us whether we were
right or not.
BLUE AND BROWN EYES.
It Is polite to ask the young man
to call again, but do not lnstst. Your
invitation will give him an oppor
tunity of asking to specify a time to
call if he cares to do so.

A School Girl.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
1 am asking you for advice, as I am
quite interested in the way you give
it. They tell me I ami a jolly and
sensible girl. I am 15 years of age,
have brown hair, brown eyes, fair
complexion and I am about 5 feet
2 Inches in height. Am I too young
to wear my hair without ribbons?
Or too large? Would it make me
look older to have my hair fluffed by
the ears, as I want to look young
always. I would like to know, also,
should my hair be brought down on
the forehead?
Do you think I am too old and
large for the Ninth grade?
Now, MIrs Fairfax, when I go to
parties at night I have been asked by
boya if they could escort me home,
but I always refuse, and go home
with my girl friends. Do you think
I do wrong? l'lease let me know.
Do you think it is all right for me to
use a little powder every day? Hop
ing to see the advice in The Omaha
Bee, I thank you very much. I am
A READER OF THE OMAHA BEK.
P. S. Is my writing good? My
friend is sending you a letter also,
with this one. -
Wear ribbons as long as you can,
and wear your hair in the most be
coming way. You are the right age
for the Ninth grade. You will have
plenty of time to go out with the
boys, so I wouldn't worry about it.
It you use powder, use the best, and
exercise care in applying it.
On Etiquette. 4
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha, Bee:
We are two girl friends of the agre
of 16 and 17 and have been reading
your column daily and would like
to say a few things about "Should
women paint and powder?"
What should a young girl tell a
young man when he asks her to go
to a party or dance and have already
a boy partner?
How long should you wait before
answering a letter to a young man?
Should you wave at strangers
when thev wave at you?
GREEN BUT GROWING.
"Thank you, but my plans are
made for the evening some other
time perhaps." It depends on the
young man and your attitude to
ward' him. No, decidedly not!
Foolish Girl.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am a girl 19 years old and live in
the country. We have quite a few
parties. A boy of 17 mostly takes
me. He does not like it If I talk to
the other boys. There is a certain
boy who some time ago was my best
friend. Whenever I talk to him the
fellow that takes me to the parties
gets jealous, and will scold me about
it on the way home. What would
you advise me to do, as I do not like
to "scrap" with him? PUZZLED.
You are a very foolish girl in my
estimation, and I can see that the
Jealousy of your friend pleases you
immensely. Give him to understand
that you are entitled to any number
of boy friends you wish.
To Keep Thin.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am a constant reader of The Bee.
I've always read your advice to oth
ers, so I am coming to you. I am a
young girl, age 19. I have light
hair, and blue eyes. I don't believe in
painting and rouge, as I always think
a plain, neat, clean and motherly
girl is always the nicest. What ad
vice can you give me for reducing
fat, as I am only 19 years and weigh
185 pounds. I am only five feet high.
Hoping to see this letter in print, in
your tomorrow's paper, and thanking
you in advance, BLUE EYES.
Do not eat sweets or rich foods,
drink- sparingly of water and take
systematic exercise; these are the
simple rules for reducing flesh.
Her Hair.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I have come to you for advice. I
am a girl of 14 and my height is C
feet 2 inches. I am an Eighth B grad
uate. What is the proper way to fix
my hair? I am light complected.
Yours truly, BUBBY.
Part your hair on the side and
wear it low over your ears.
JJon't Urge Him.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am a daily reader of your "Advice
to the Lovelorn," and see you help so
many others, so I will come to you
with my trouble's. '
I have been going with a young
man for three years, and we love
each other deaiily. He has asked me
to marry him when the war was over,
to which I consented. Now that the
war is over, he still talks of mar
riage, but has never mentioned when.
Of course he is still in the training
camp, but I have seen him occasion
ally since the war is over. Shall I
ask him how soon he intends to
marry when he gets out or let that
for him to say? Thanking you in
advance, I am PATSY.
Don't urge your suiter to set any
date. His plans are probably very in
definite and he will asquaint you with
them when he is ready, you may be
sure.. ,
A Party.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am coming to you for advice. I
will bo 13 February 22, 1919, and I
am planning a party in the after
noon. What time should I have it?
What should 4 serve? What games
should we play? I am five feet tall
and weigh 105 pounds. How long
should I wear my dresses?
Should I wear a silk or wool dress
to the party? Am I too 5oung to
have my hair put up? All the rest
of the girls my age have their hair
put up. If I could, how should I
wear it?
Sh,ould I ask both boys and girls to
my party? Should I ask an even
number of both boys and girls?
Please print the answer in The
Omaha Daily Bee Monday. Thank
ing you for advice, I am, yours, M.
Have your party at half-past 2 and
invite just the girls, since it is an
afternoon affair. Serve ice cream,
little cakes, candy and nuts. Why
not play hearts and have some dainty
little gifts as a prize? Wear your
dresses to your shoe tops. Do not
overdress at your party; wear a
pretty wool dress if you have it. If
you are tall for your age. I would
wear your hair up on your head.

"Impossible!" you say. "Why, market reports show that livfe hogs
are selling for 17c a pound, yet I am paying 28c a pound for pork
rib-roast and loin-chops."
. True enough. Yet these more costly cuts are only
partot theanimaL When Armour and Company buy a
hog they pay 17c a pound live weight (January 20
market quotations) for the whole animal as it stands in
the pen 17c a pound for meat, bones, bristles, entrails
even the dirt that clings to the animal's sides. This
price for the live hog means 23c after allowing for shrink
age and cost of handling.
Let us see how the various cuts sell at wholesale,
after the hog has been killed, the meat separated from
theinedible portions, and dressed at considerable expense.
For the feet which we bought at the rate of 17c a
pound we got 6c a pound; back bones and trimmed neck
bones returned 5c; ears which cost 17c per pound
sold for 7c; livers brought VAc, hogs' brains and knuckles
brought 8 c a pound; hogs' heads with tongues out were
quoted at 10c, and with tongues in at lOc; the. snout
was worth 8c and the kidneys 8c a pound.
In short, the January 20 wholesale price-list con
tained some thirty-seven cuts and portions under the
pork heading, and of these, fifteen brought in less per
pound than was paid for the live animal before the ex
pense of dressing and distributing had been added.
Sheep are handled on a similar basis.
On the edible portion of beef animals there is an
actual loss. A 1,000 pound bullock costs from $160 to $180.
Only some 650 pounds are edible meat, and this sells
wholesale for from $125 to $145.
It is obvious that Armour and Company can make
but, little profit out of meats after the cost of killing,
dressing, cooling and distributing has been added.
Profits are made through manufacturing into com
mercial by-products those portions of the animal that
until recent years were wasted or destroyed. And on
our total business last year, we made but 1.8c per dollar
of sales. The by-products actually make meat cheaper
to the consumer and more remunerative to the producer.
Their production is the result of many years of re-investment
of earnings to make thi3 scientific development
possible and of years of endeavor in upbuilding many
kinds of markets for them.
