HOOVER'S SLIP. HEN Food Administrator Hoover designated Saturday as| “Porkless Day” he made a mistake for which he need not | be too harshly blamed, since he was born in Iowa and) educated on the Pacific Coast. A considerable number of his fellow Americans, however, saw} his error and lamented it. If Mr. Hoover had let his thoughts etray toward New Wngland wiitle he was deciding what to call Saturday, he might perhaps have recalled that through that day, by one of the most ancient and hon- ored of iccal culinary custome, within a radius of we don’t know just how many miles from Boston thousands of ovens contain dark earthen pots of standard shape in which beans are slowly browning sround a delicious and indispensable flavoring nucleus which is inva- row, us an around In almleas : ortunity for eng and using up energy without risbly—a chunk of pork, Lda geen lredeeltl LOL T Of course, there he : toh 7, nar & shia aed C | won't for sucb labor Those beans must be caten Saturday 0 ght.
