GQNFRQN V Grill, Cafeteria, Restaurant Patrons Take Kindly to Food Conservation. .TODAY TO BE MEATLESS TVar Bread and Corn Muffins Will Greet People, as Fish la Variety, . and Egg, Fowl and Vcgc--v tables Abounded Tuesday. The first day of denial In the food conservation programme adopted by Portland hotels and resta u rants was observed yesterday. By the schedule adopted recently the menus were more or lss "meatless." All of the larger hotels and many restaurants and cafeterias did not list inats and served It only at the insist ence of patrons. For the most part the public took the new order of af fairs with a spirit of hearty co-operation. The menus featured fish. In a variety .of euises. with oysters, eerars. fowl and Y vegetable dinners as alternatives. On xne primea menus appeared requests that patrons ref raiu from ordering meat. The "meatless day was observed to a less extent by cafeterias than by otri er catering: places of the city. Several popular-priced restaurants declined to attempt the chungc. "Wasteful Americans Censored. "No nation is so wasteful as the meriran Nat ion1 asserted Bruno M. Cholewa, head waiter at one of the principal hotels. "Fop instance, wo had a guest the other day who consumed fc!x rolls and 14 pats f butter with a 50-cent luncheon. "In th average American home great quantities of canned vegetables are used, while the market abounds with the fresh variety. The canned foods will keep. They are an impor tant resource of food conservation, but fresh vegetables, if unpurchased and unprepared, wilt and spoil and are lost." Mr. Cholewa digressed to point out the disposition of Americans to disre gard as food certain articles of diet that are standard and highly relished In other countries. "They will not eat ljorse meat," said he. "Why? Largely because of the sentimental associations. A steak of horse meat may be served in such fashion that the diner cannot distin guish it from the finest steer. Abso lutely! Mire and Snails Delicacies. "The snail is sneered at by Amer icans, who eat oysters. Yet the snail n far the superior dish. In Peru, believe it or not. they fatten young mice on milk and these are esteemed a K-reat d iary. They are even pre lervcd in honey. "Many articles of high food: value are viewed with, distaste merely because of custom." Of the 900 registration cards sent to ho Pel and restaurant men of Portland and Oregon, approximately 20 per cent have been signed and returned. Two pledges received yesterday were from Chinese restaurant men, who wish to be numbered among the patriotic ad vocates of food conservation. One card bore the signature, of Tom Foo, of Junction City, while the other was re turned by AN" a Hons, of Salem. Today Will Be AVheatless. Today will he observed by caterers who have registered in the rampaign as "wheatless" day. No white bread will be served and war-bread and corn muffins will greet the patron. Both have been tried out at various times heretofore and have met with popular approval. Iuring succeeding weeks Tuesdays will continue to be "meatless" and Wednesdays be observed as w heat less." In general the programme adopted tends toward the conservation of wheat products, beef and pork, butter and other fats. It is National in scope, and has the advocacy of Mr. Hoover as an Important means to victory through, the conservation of essential foods.

Pictures Very "Dry." The truth had to come out after all when an energetic prohibitionist in disguise recently obtained permission to visit the lot at the Triangle Culver Citj- studios. She appeared with a let ter of introduction and wished to be shown aroaind. An amiable young man was detailed to escort the sightseer. In the course of the trip, the woman was taken through the property warehouse, where she was shown all the furniture and other dressings for a set. What ap peared mahogany or walnut or ebony was the real material represented. Then she proceeded to the stage, where Director Tom Heffron was put ting his company, with Irene Hunt in the leading part, through rehearsals in a cafe scene of "The Stainless Bar rier." s The heavy bottles with the sealed tops were in buckets, the tall glasses were filled with a liquid that bubbled through the stems and the scene was one of gaiety. "What is that light colored stuff they are drinking?" the visitor asked. The pilot wished to maintain the reputation of the studios for showing nothing but the real article In the pictures. "Wine."" he said. -champagne wine? she asked. -Yea' "Do telir At that instant a cork popped and the glasses were filled all around again. The woman was restless. "Where's the. manager of this com pany?" she asked. She was told he was very busy. Tt made no difference, she had to see him, and see him she did. - . "X think it's a thame," she said. "Tou l rrJ ? y . a i t r ' i t 1 1 - i ply your actors and actresses with liquor while they work. You are serving the cause of the devil. It is a matter that must be investigated." Amazed, the manager demanded further explanation, which was given. Then the amiable guide was called to clear matters. lie informed the woman that for once he had stretched the truth and let fancy usurp fact. She would not believe it. So she was taken back to the stage and a bottle was uncorked for her. She discovered that all which bubbles is not all im ported vintage, but sometimes is just "sparkling apple juice." When she left, she handed the pilot her card. She is president of a prohibition league covering ten states. Screen Gossip. Hiram Abrams, president of Para mount Pictures Corporation, last week announced the completion of arrange ments whereby George Beban will re main as one of the galaxy of stars who are engaged In making pictures for Paramount, and that at least two more Beban productions will be released following "Lost in Transit." Verna Mersereau and Jack Mower, two young players holding forth un usual promise, were added to the act ing forces at Universal City last week. Miss Mersereau. despite the similarity of names, is not a sister of Violet Mer sereau, nor is Bhe in any way related to the golden-haired star of Bluebird productions. A delicate operation to raise the frontal bone of Mary MacLaren, re eently Injured in ati automobile acci dent, will decide whether or not the motion picture actress will again be a.bfe to appear upon the screen. Miss MacLaren is at the Good Sama ritan Hospital, Los Angeles, w here j group of specialists consulted upon the advisability of undertaking such a dell cate operation. To save the girl's health, it will be necessary to elevate the bone. By the ordinary operation a scar would be left that would injure her screen beauty. But with an opera tion through t he mouth and nose the frontal bone may be elevated without leaving such a scar. Mary is quite willing to take a chance upon the lat ter operation to save her fortune, which is, of course, her face. Mary Garden, fresh from a period of singing and relief work In France, Is back in the united States with a sne ciai wardrobe and ready to begin the filming of "Thais." William Fox Is going to open English - studio as soon as the war Is over. It has Just occurred to the producers that of the big four stars, Chaplin, Hart, Fairbanks and Plckford. three are men. This, of course, would seem quite obvious, but nevertheless talks with producers prove that they have con tinually demanded woman stars. In fact, many of them yet fail to realize that, considering 75 per cent of the theater patrons are women, a man star would naturally be preferred. Mary Miles M Inter, with a large com pany of players, is in the Santa Crui Mountains for two weeks getting at mosphere for the little star's new American Mutual production.

More men are wanted. This time they are called upon to co operate with the Aircraft Engineering and Equipment Division of the Signal Corps of the United States Army. Their part is a big one, and by their efforts alone can the gigantic pro gramme for cutting and moving Ore gon and Washington spruce be carried out successfully to furnish the Govern ment with the millions of feet of this timber needed during the next few months for the manufacture of Army aeroplanes. Men are requested by the Aircraft Bureau to offer their services in cut ting the spruce and preparing it for shipment East. This industry is purely Government one and will be con trolled by Government officials. IV ew Aeroplane Model Approved. The model for the new type of aero plane has been approved and it Is planned to build thousands of t hese machines during the next 12 months. Six branch offices of the Aircraft Engineering ' and Equipment TMvision have been opened recently. Portland has one. The other five aro in New York. Toledo, Detroit, lxs Angeles and San Krancisco. E. J. Clark, A. M. E., has been appointed district manager in charee of the local office. Mr. Clark was formerly associated with the Pack ard Auto Distributing Company of this city, and with the United States Steel Corporation. He is also a member of the Auto Motive Engineers. Already orders for Oregon andTVash ngton spruce totaling $15,000,000 have been placed, and it is asserted by the Aircraft Bureau that this sum. will be greatly increased. The first Govern ment appropriation for the purchase of spruce and. the manufacture of aero planes was $650,000,000. Aircraft to Win War. It has been generally conceded that the present war will be won by aircraft and it is planned by the Government to place a minimum number in Europe by Spring and a maximum number by. next Fall. The entire supply of spruce for these machines must come from Oregon and Washington alone. Jt is probable that within a year the manufacture of Army aeroplanes will extend to Portland, but for the present the local office will act as a clearing house for spruce in addition to main taining tho Pacific Coast Inspection Bureau. .
