LIVINGIMMENSELY
WASHINGTON, April 12.- Mrs

net have agreed to reduce their scab

To do their part in the movemenl
for the conservation of the nation *
time and resources, the women of tho
highest official families will omit thi
usual formal entertaining and calling
and reduce to the minimum their so
cial activties, so they can give mor*
time and money to constructive pro
paredness and relief work. They
agreed to pledge themselves to buy in
expensive clothing, simple food and
to watch and prevent all kinds of
waste. Today they informally appeal
ed to all the women of the country tr
join them, not only as indiv:duals but
by organizing to prevent possible suf
fering later on.
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Margaret
Wilson, the unmarried daughter of the
president, are now paying more at
tention to the details of the manage
ment of the White House establish
ment than ever before. Miss Wilson
is also singing in concerts for the
benefit of the Red Cross.
