WIFE AND SPOUSETSummer White House" at Cape
NOW BLAMED FOR
COST OF LIVING
Mrs. Ryan Thinks That if
Women Kept Keener Eyes
On Their Kitn Needs
Costs Would Decrease.
And now they even hold the in
nocent little housewife and her hus--hand
jruilty for the high cost of
living. Listen to this:
"Blame for the high cost of living
seems to be placed at the door of
everybody these days, and every
body makes loud cries tn denying
it, but wherever it will ultimately
rest, no small part of it can Be
surely traced to the little kitchen of
the housewife who doesn't cire."
said Mrs. C. G. Ryan, federal" fair
price commissioner for Nebraska,
Saturday at her Omaha head
quarters in the federal building.
"Far too many housewives of to
day especially the younger ones
though not all of them judge pur
chases in meats, groceries and
many other t lines , solely by the
price. If the price is high the ar
ticle must be good.
Hold Wrong Viewpoint
"This is not always true. And
much could be done toward lower
ing the family budget if women had
more knowledge of what they are
buying. This ignorance is especial
ly amazing in regard to meat cuts.
Many women don't know any more
difference between a porterhouse
steak and a Baltimore oyster thai)
that one comes from -an animal' and-'
the other from water.
Failure of women to utilize,-,,
cheaper cuts ill accordance with the
government's pUn to concentrate. ,on,(
these in an effort to lower the price
of the better cuts the "fashionable"
cuts also is attributed to a desire
for hasty preparation. New England
boiled dinners and meat dishes of
this character, requiring much cook
ing and attention, are held to bentrij
popular and shunned in proportion
to the carelessness, extravagance
and thriftlessness of the housewife
who should prepare them.
Many Prefer Easier Way.
"Too many," said Mrs. Ryan?

"The government is attempting a

During the Save-Moncy-Ow-Meat
week campaign in Omaha, the
federal fair price commission will
be watching to make sure that no
dealer tries to make the stimulated"
demand for cheaper cuts an oc
casion for illicit profits. "
"The dealers should be able 'to
sell, and undoubtedly will sell, oil a
closer margin, due to the fact that
they will buy and sell these "un
fashionable" cuts in larger quantj
lies than usual. Substantial eco
omies are open to the people, .if
they only take advantage of them.'1'

Quaint old Cape Cod is busy these
spring days "trimming ship" to be
ready on June 15 to become the cen
ter of government and politics of
the United States.
News that President Wilson had
selected the beautiful 150-acre estate
of Charles R, Crane on Juniper
Point here as the "Summer White
house" sent a thrill around the long
arm of the picturesque peninsula.
And Cape Codders are determined
that the president shall decide lie
made no mistake in coming among
New England folks to fiiyl rest add
health in the bracing salt air of the
southern Massachusetts seaboard.
Already Albert C. Swain, care
taker of the Crane estate, has reno
vated the place so that the lawns
are in perfect condition, the house is
in readiness for instant occupancy
rand everything so prepared that the
president and his otncial family
could step off the train or the presi
dential yacht Mayflower and find
comfort in five minutes.
Natural Beauty Spots.
The spot President and Mrs. Wil
son have selected for the summer
capital is a place of natural beauty
combined with absolute seclusion.
The estate of Mr. Crane, wealthy
Chicagoan and recently appointed
minister to China, covers the whole
W1 Juniper Point, the very south
west tip of Cape Cod. It has sea
on both sides, being the dividing
point between Buzzards Bay to the
;west, Nantucket Sound to the east,
and Vineyard Sound to the south.
There is a thick growth of woods
in the rear. The Crane estate is one
of the most completely isolated
along this part of the coast-
For the most part of the estate,
wjth its groves of native cedars on
the grounds and its enormous bould
ers on the sea front, has been le't
in its primitive condition, though the
approaches have been beautified. A
long circling driveway passes
through a gate in a wall, winds past
a lodge, and leads to t!ie garage and
house.
The house, or "cottage" as it is
-known here, is a handsome three-
story structure that was built half
a century ago and has undergone
numerous remodelings. A Japanese
garden patterned after those in the
orient, a broad lawn, artificial ponds,
'a tennis court, a nrivate pier and a
small bathing beach are the distinc
tive fetures of the grounds immedi
ately surrounding the "cottage."
Large Triangular Lawn.
Facing south is a large triangular
lawn, runnning down to the boat
house, another feature of the place.
The boathouse is the coolest nook of
the whole estate, and here the presi
dent is expected to spend much of
his time. In this retreat are more
ithan 1,000 books gathered from all
quarters of the globe.
On one edge of the lawn near the
house is a sunken rose garden in the
center of which a statue fountain is
located. Somewhat bevond this gar
den is the flagpole, witH the Stars
and Stripes floating in the breeze.
An especially interesting spot on
the grounds is the load stone, known
to Cape Codders as a trysting place
and lovers' rendezvous Sweethearts
of many generations, says village
gossip, have climbed up the back of
the stone and, seated upon it, looked
over the islands sprinkled through
the sound.
A short distance from the toad
stone is the greenhouse presided
over by a Scotch gardener, "Jimmie"
Goodfellow. Near the greenhouse
is the huge vegetable patch, from
which the president may have f r osh
vegetables throughout the summer.
Few flowers grown in America are
missing from the big flower garden
which stands near the vegetable
patch.
Splendid Tennis Court.
On the two tennis courts, one of
clay and the other turf, many
famous American court champions
have played. Miss Marion Fenno,
second in the last United States
doubles championship, and her
brother. Brooks Fenno, of the Har
vard, 1919, tennis team, are among
those that can vouch for the excel
lence of the courts.
President Wilson likes golf.
About a mile away from the estate
is the Woods Hole Golf club, an
18-hole course, swept in the summer
by the cool breezes from the At
lantic. From the house vihicli sets on the
peak of the vast estate there is a
commanding view of Vineyard
Sound, the spot where President
Cleveland fished; the duck hunting
rendezvous of Roosevelt, Martha's
Vineyard; Nantucket sound and the
broad expanse of sea that lies be
tween the United States and the rest
of the League of Nations.
At the top of the house is a cupola
which it is believed will be chosen
bv the president as his private den.
There is no better view of the sea
and the cape than up in this "crow's
nest."
Philadelphia leads the world in
the manufacture of woolen goods,
carpets, -textiles, locomotives, steel
ships, leather, storage batteries,
street cars, saws, dental instruments,
hosiery, talking machines and felt
hats.

son, colored, Twenty-eighth and

trict court under bond of $5,000.-

bv the George A. Hoagland com
pany since 1880, died yesterday;;

May Buy Burglary
Insurance at Rates In
Force Before April
Pleasing tidings for humble house
holders were announced yesterday
by the Harry A. Koch Co., to the
effect that burglary insurance is to
be obtainable in Omaha at rates
prevailing before April 1, when an
increase of 15 per cent for residence
insurance was made effective.
. Instructions to that effect were
received Saturday, Harry Koch
said. No reason for the cancellation
of the increase was given by the
home office, he said, but it was his
belief that the removal was general
among several companies in a large
number of cities.
Since January 1, rates in Omaha
bad advanced 35 per cent, Mr.
Koch said, 20 per cent at the be
ginning of the year and 15 per cent
April 1. With 20 per cent increases
for 1919. the rate has been 55 per
cent higher than it was 15 months
go. '.
