THE TWIN CITY STAR VOL. 8. BATTLE RESUMED WITH GREAT FURY TEN TIMES 100,000 GERMAN TROOPS ARE HURLED AGAINST FRENCH. Enemy Pays Terrific Toll in Determined Attempts to Break Through French Lines—Pollus Counter-Attack is Fierce. London, April 5.—After several days of inactivity, Germany has renewed her offensive against the Allies with redoubled intensity. Ten times 100,000 troops were hurled against the French on a nine-mile front north of Montdidier. The Germans paid a terrific toll in a determined attempt to break through the French lines. They made but slight advances despite their great sacrifices. The German masses were balked in their attempt to take Grievesnes, but succeeded in capturing the villages of Malilly, Rainevel and Morisel. The French fiercely counter-attacked in the Grivesnes section and succeeded in forcing the Teutons back. Seek to Take Amiens. Simultaneously, the German hordes were hurled against the British in what appears to be a desperate attempt to capture Amiens, the great Allied railroad and distributing center. The British were forced back slightly in the neighborhood of Hamel where the force of the German shock was met. Few details of the action are available. Compiègne, the key to Paris, 45 miles northeast of the capital, appeared to be the chief German goal, provided they can push on their center to Amiens. General Von Mackensen, the conqueror of Roumania, has been called to the West front and it is believed will take over command of the German forces as the greatest of German offensives enters its second phase. The fact that the Germans have been in a degree successful would seem to indicate that they have succeeded in bringing up some of their heavier cannon and new divisions with which to continue their attempts to capture Amiens. Reports from the French and British fronts have mentioned heavy rains which would mean that the Germans have been working under a severe handicap in bringing up guns, ammunition and supplies to the front. The battlefield, over which the Allies have retreated was left in a devastated condition, the roads and bridges being mined by the retreating forces. The lull in the battle for the last few days probably was caused by the inability of the Teutons to move their heavy supply trains over these roads, together with the necessity of reorganizing the shattered divisions which bore the brunt of the fighting after they had passed the first field of fire. U. S. OFFICE WATCHMAN MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT Dead Body is Found at Post Within Half Block of White House. Washington, April 5.—James King 60 years old, night watchman at the office of the committee on public information, has been found dead with a bullet hole through his head. Officials of the committee thought he had been slain. Examination of King's pistol indicated that he had tried to fire it and that the cartridges had failed to explode. Officials said no valuable papers are kept at the committee's offices and that they could find nothing to show that the place had been ransacked. The shooting occurred within half a block of the White House, the state, war and navy building, and only a stone's throw from several other important government buildings. LENROOT'S PLURALITY NOW REACHES 11,669 Democrats Concede Election of Representative to U. S. Senate—Berger Carries 7 Counties. Milwaukee, April 5.—Latest returns from Tuesday's senatorial election give Congressman Irvine L. Lenroot (rep.) a plurality of 11,669 over Davies (dem.). Additional returns swell Lenroot's vote to 148,244; Davies to 136,575, and credit Berger (soc.) with 103,431. The last named carried seven counties where the population was largely German. Davies has conceded Lenroot's election.

CHARGE REPORTS ARE FALSE EXPERTS' SOCIETY SAYS AIR PROGRAM IS MISREPRESENTED. Production Lags for Lack of Unity, According to Statements Made Public. New York, April 5.—The special investigating committee of the Aeronautical Society of America, which for several months has been studying the aircraft situation with a view to learning the exact cause for the alleged delays in the manufacture and shipping of airplanes to the seat of war, made its official report to the society at a public meeting here. Charges that virtually all statements issued by government officials with respect to the execution of the aircraft program had been found to be untrustworthy and should be disregarded, and that the very vigorous censorship over all matters connected with it had been of no military value, were contained in the report of the committee. Censorship is Attacked. The report also expressed the conviction that the only purpose of the rigor of the censorship was to keep the country from finding out the character of the official statements. Accidents in training, while not excessively numerous, were of such a nature, according to the report, as to indicate that they were in part preventable and in part due to improper organization of flying and handling of machines. The committee in its report also asserted that the production of fighting planes was lagging because of lack of co-operation between departments, and that the entire system of production was such that delays would grow with the rate of production. ILLINOIS MOB LYNCHES PRO-GERMAN FOR TALK Was Accused of Making Disloyal Remarks in Speech to U. S. Miners. Collinsville, Ills., April 5.—Robert P. Praeger, said to be of German parentage, was hanged to a tree one mile south of the city limits by a mob of 350 persons which dragged him from the basement of the city hall here where he had been in hiding. Praeger was accused of making disloyal reamrks in a recent address to miners at Maryville, Ills. PRUSSIAN WAR LORDS IN IMPORTANT SESSION German Foreign Minister Expected to Deliver Important Speech Amsterdam, April 5.—At an important conference held at German headquarters between the emperor, General Ludendorff and Dr. Richard von Kuehlman, the German foreign minister, Count Czernin's speech, among other matters, was discussed. It is undertood that Von Kuehlmann will deliver an important speech at his earliest opportunity. Badits Rob Express Safe of $2,000. New York, April 5.—Four auto bandits held up two employees of the Adams Express company near a railway station in Jamaica, L. I., and escaped with $2,000 in cash, which was being transported in a small safe. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., APRIL 6, 1918. APRIL DRAFT CALL TO BE FOR 150,000 APRIL DRAFT CALL TO BE FOR 150,000 QUOTA OF MEN FOR ARMY ORIGINALLY DETERMINED UPON INCREASED. SAME NUMBER EACH MONTH To Speed Up Program for Assistance U. S. Will Give Allies This Year Depending on Movement of Trained Men Overseas. Washington, April 5.—One hundred and fifty thousand drafted men will be called out during April instead of 50,000, the quota originally determined upon for this month under the second draft. Orders to induct this number into the military service before May 1 have been issued. Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder will transmit the order to local draft boards through the state governors at once. This decision by the general staff of a definite step in President Wilson's program for speeding up the assistance the United States will give the Allies this year. That the government machinery was gaining momentum is plainly evident in all departments. Similar Monthly Calls Planned. Similar monthly cals for drafted men are planned, it is understood. The rapidity with which drafted men are to be ordered into service will depend upon the movement of trained troops overseas, it was stated. With the 150,000 a month program obtaining, 1,350,000 men will be drafted by the end of the year. The number of men to be sent overseas this year and the consequent number of men to be drafted will be regulated by three considerations: shipping facilities, available equipment, and the needs of the Allies. Draft Machinery Ready. General Crowder states that the draft machinery now is in shape to draft men as fast as needed. It is believed that in arriving at the 150,000 figure for April, the general staff has worked out a plan under which a number of men can be transported to Europe each month. In order that there may be no hitch in sending men to training camps, local draft boards are rushing the physical examinations of registrants placed in Class 1. Word also has been sent forth to speed up appeal cases. BLAZE IN KANSAS CITY SWEEPS 26 BUILDINGS Three Wholesale Business Blocks Destroyed With Loss of Millions. Kansas City, April 5.—Fire has destroyed three city blocks of buildings in the wholesale district known as the "West Bottoms." Twenty-six buildings were either destroyed or seriously damaged and many others suffered losses. Five firemen were injured when a wall fell, but no deaths have been reported. Those who would hazard an esti mate of the loss considered that while many of the burned buildings were old, the contents were valuable. Some persons thought that the minimum loss would be $2,500,00, possibly as high as $5,000,000. The origin of the fire and the place it started are not known definitely, but it is believed to have originated in a warehouse leased by the Abernathy Furniture company at Santa Fe and St. Louis avenues. CANDIDATE AND EDITOR, HELD ON INDICTMENTS Are Charged With Violation of Esplonage Act by Federal Grand Jury. Minneapolis, April 5.—James A. Peterson, candidate for the United States Senate, and Paul F. Dehnel, editor of a weekly newspaper, have been arrested on indictments returned by a jury in United States district court charging them with violation of the esplonage act. The two men were arraigned before Judge Page Morris and entered pleas of not guilty. They were released on $3,000 bonds each. Dr. Bertling, Kaiser Agent, Interned. Booston, April 5.—Dr. Karl Oscar Bertling, sent from Berlin to this country in 1914 to uphold the German cause in public lectures, has been taken to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., to be interred for the duration of the war as an enemy alien. C. HARRIS & EWINS Carl R. Gray, director of transportation of the United States railroad administration, began his railroad career at the telegraph key. Since that time he has been president of the Great Northern and Western Maryland railroads. His home is in Baltimore. NINE BILLION IN ONE YEAR APPROXIMATE COST TO U. S. OF TWELVE MONTHS OF WAR. Allied Loans Took Half of Total That Was Lower Than Official Estimate. Washington, April 5.—Nine billion dollars is the approximate cost to the United States of one year of war. More than one-half has gone to loans to Allies. More than one-third has been spent for the army and military establishment; one-tenth for the navy; and one-fifteenth for shipbuilding. Just one-sixth of this big cost has been raised by taxation and other ordinary sources of revenue. The remainder has come from sale of Liberty bonds and certificates of indebtedness. Less Than Britain's. Enormous as these war expenditures may seem to a country whose government in peace times costs between $700,000,000 and $800,000,000, they are less than Great Britain's and are only about two-thirds of estimates made by officials less than a year ago. Slow progress of the shipbuilding program and the retarding of the outpouring of war supplies are regarded by officials as the chief reasons why expenses did not equal estimates. Billion Per Month. Government expenses now are running about $1,000,000,000 a month. Somewhat less than half goes to the Allies, who spend the greater part of their loans for war supplies in this country. Since the declaration of war, April 6, 1917, the government's actual expenditures have been more than $9,800,000,000 but about $800,000,000 of this sum would have been spent for normal activities even if the United States had not entered the war. the treasury closes all outlays for Ordinary expenditures under which operation of governmental machinery and war enterprises have been are approximately $5,084,000,000 since the declaration of war. Actual payments to Allies amounted to about $4,743,000,000. GERMANS MAKE FRENCH WOMEN WORK IN RUSSIA Four Hundred Sent From Northern France With Six Hundred Male Civilians. Paris, April 5.—One thousand French civilians from the occupied districts of northern France have been sent to Russia by the Germans and are being forced to perform labor, according to information obtained by Baron Cochin, a former cabinet member. These civilians, 400 of whom are women, are among those whom Germany offered to exchange for Alsatians who have escaped to France. They were sent to Russia after the rejection of the proposal, which Germany attempted to place before the French government thru the holy see and Baron Cochin. BOND CAMPAIGN WILL CONTINUE FOUR WEEKS Third Liberty Loan Drive to Begin Saturday and Will End on May 4. Washington, April 5.—The third Liberty Loan campaign will last four weeks, beginning Saturday and ending May 4, the treasury department announces. Banks will be given five days after the campaign's close to tabulate and report subscriptions. YANKEES HALT FOE IN ATTEMPTED RAID GERMANS PRECEDE ATTACK ON LISTENINK POST IN MEUSE HILLS BY BOMBARDMENT. Progress of Enemy is Stopped by Strong Fire From American First and Second Lines—Are Very Active. With the American Army in France, April 5.—American forces are now occupying a sector on the Meuse heights south of Verdun. This announcement was released for publication simultaneously with a statement that the enemy raided one of the American listening posts in this sector after a heavy bombardment. The raid was made against one of the few positions in this region where it is feasible, because of the terrain, to conduct operations without heavy losses to the attacking force. The enemy first vigorously bombarded the American first line and communication trenches zigzagging up the hillside, and then sent over a raiding party, which swarmed about the listening post. American Fire Halts Foe. Further progress of the enemy was halted by a strong fire from the American first and second lines, and as a consequence the enemy can hardly claim success. Because of the topography of the Meuse heights region, there has been little severe fighting there for many months, and the opposing forces took advantage of the inactivity to construct fine dugouts, many of them being lighted by electricity. Spring Flowers on Hills. Each side enjoys the advantage of excellent observation posts as shells echo among the surrounding hills, which are covered with spring flowers. The other American sectors were reported quiet today. The Germans sent in few shells in the sector northwest of Toul, but the enemy airplanes were fairly active in patrolling. NELSON SENDS MESSAGE TO SOLDIERS IN FRANCE Expresses Pride in Powers and Confidence in Future Accomplishments. With the American Army in France, April 5—This week's issue of Stars and Stripes, the American soldiers' weekly issued at the front, prints the following message from President Wilson: "Please convey to the officers and men of our expeditionary forces my warmest greetings on this the anniversary of the entrance of the United States into this great war for liberty and say to them that we all not only have greatly admired and have been very proud of the way they have so far accounted for themselves, but that we have the utmost confidence that in every sense they will prove to be of the finest metal of free men." GERMAN ALLIANCE WILL DISBAND VOLUNTARILY Official Says Organization Will Take Advantage of Tip From Washington. New York, April 5.—Announcement that the National German American Alliance will disband at a special meeting in Philadelphia on April 11 was made here by Henry Weismann, of this city, who until recently was active in the affairs of the organization. "I received advices to this effect from the management of the organization," said Mr. Weismann, "but just why the dissolution is contemplated I do not know. I imagine, however, that a quiet tip has gone out from Washington that the organization had better take advantage of an opportunity to dissolve voluntarily." Ordnance Officer Held as Enemy. Columbus, April 5.—George von Rootweller of this city who was granted a commission as captain in the Ordnance department of the United States army a week ago, has been arrested and held as an alien enemy. Frank H. Neubert, a colleague of Von Rootweller, is also held pending investigation. He admits being an alien German, authorites said. Secretary Baker In Paris Paris, April. 5.—Secretary Baker, who has been on a trip to Rome and the Italian front, arrived in Paris this afternoon. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY NO. 4. TO STAMP OUT DISLOYALTY GOVERNORS URGE DRASTIC ACTION TO CURB SEDITION. Meet With Council of National Defense and Prepare Reso- Washington, April 5.—State governors meeting here with members of the Council of National Defense have urged drastic action to stamp out disloyalty and to curb the German language press. They advocated measures to prevent preaching in German and the teaching of German in elementary schools. Secretary Daniels, who presided as head of the council, in reply, asked the governors to formulate resolutions supporting the bill drafted by Attorney General Gregory to reach spies, traitors and disloyal persons. The resolutions committee of the governors met later at Secretary Lane's office. Opposes Everything Teutonic. Secretary of the Interior Lane and others urged that the foreign language press be used as the best means of reaching un-Americanized people. La Fayette Young, former senator from Iowa, leading the other faction, spoke out emphatically for total suppression not only of foreign language newspapers, but use of German language, German music and everything Teutonic. Secretary Lane, backed by George Creel and others, argued before the delegates that thousands can read no other language than German. Therefore, they hold, the only way America's ideals can be brought to them is through their own tongue. La Fontele Equals Joe Division. "If I were president, I should tomorrow suppress every German newspaper in America," Young said in opposition. "Ninety per cent of the German language teachers in elementary schools are traitors." He qualified this by saying it referred to the Northwest, chiefly Minnesota. Diverting from an excoriation of the German language press, the former senator said. "If the United States would expel Senator La Follette it would be like driving a whole German division from the front." Chicago Land $166 an Inch. Chicago, April 5.—A "tract" of land four inches wide and 168 feet in length in the heart of Chicago's fashionable North Side residence district has been sold for $666, or about $166 an inch.

Optical Glass Playing a Big Part in the World Conflict —Needed by All Departments That every field of military endeay- or depends upon the supply of optical glass Is the statement recently made by Prof. Edward W. Washburn of the department of ceramic engineering at the University of Illinois, “The war could not be conducted without optical glass,” said Professor Washburn. “Telescopes, binoculars, of- ficers’ lenses and photographie plates for army and navy observation pur- poses, X-ray bulbs and microscopic lenses for the medical and sanitary corps and many other necessary im- plements of a modern army would be struck out if it were not for the cera- mic industry,” explained the lecturer, “Previous to the war," Professor Washburn sad, “Germany manufae- tured 100 different kinds of optical glass, an assortment which supplied the whole world, England boasted about twenty varieties of glass, The United States produced none whatever, England's product was not nearly suf- ficient to meet the demand of the al- Nes and Britain found it necessary at the beginning of the war to collect all field glasses and small telescopes own- ed by citizens.” Doctor Washburn then told how America is meeting the his problem under the direction of a special com- mittee on optical glass manufacture. “As a result of activities of this commission,” according to Professor Washburn, “American Industry is now supplying all the optical glass urgent- ly needed by the army and navy.” Many a worthless man has a 900 disposition.

THE TWIN CITY ‘STAR, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Prison, Labor Bil Proves | For Use of Inmates of Penal . Institutions in Road Making Unpatni Many state and county administra: tions are utilizing prison labor in road work. Governor Brough of Arkansas has announced that 75 to 100 convicts will be used continuously on road work in his state. A sentiment is growing in favor of imprisoning all vagrants and placing them at work on ouae high- ways, This method of utilizing pris- on labor, where it 1s conducted under Proper conditions, has always had the Indorsement of the national committee on prisons and prison labor, and a pro- vision for road building has been in- corporated in the prison labor bill. An important feature is that of r- quiring the payment of a wage to the prisoner. Such a wage will make it Possible for the prisoner to contribute to the support of his dependents and at the same time will prevent unfair competition with free labor. ‘The pas- sage of the bill will give Impetus to the movement for the employment of prisoners in road work and In other occupations affected by the national emergency. Eyer since the United States entered the war the demand for utilizing the prison labor supply confined in the penal and correctional Institutions of the country has steadily increased. Re- ports inade to the national committee on prisons and prison labor show that the demand for this labor comes from practically every organization which has as Its purpose some work related to the prosecution of the war. Na- tional and state food, fuel, freight, farm and fish commissions are seek- Ing prison labor. State and connty commissions are meeting to discuss the problem. Many of the proposals made will not be realized until \the passage tn con- gress of the ‘prison labor bill intro- duced by Senator Hoke Smith of Geor- gia and Representative Charles F. Booher of Missourl. ‘This bill has been introduced through the efforts af the national committee on prisons and prison labor and the American Fvdera- tion of Labor to promote the nie of prison labor in the war emergency and also to prevent exploitation of the pris- oner, e e e ’ ° : Mother’s Cook Book ; ‘he people who indulge in honeyed Pane CT ere eat! fees Lenten dishes this year have no worriment for the housewife who has been keeping lent all winter by meat- less, wheutless, porkless days, | Eggs are at present So high that whee ‘using. them the frugal cook tries to extend them by adding something to the dish which will give bulk and not detract from the attractiveness of it, One good dish may be made by using rice with egg.

Spectacles were Invented in Italy, about 1285. They were at first very expensive, and so were worn only by wealthy persons or noblemen, and so came to be regarded as a mark of rank, The larger the spectacles the higher the rank, and so the glasses grew to a prodigious size. There are two or three busts extant of Italian gentlemen wearing “specs,” and in one of these cases the lenses are three inches in diameter, + Unpatriotic Hoarding Sufficient Food Is Being Held in Reserve to Take Care of Home Needs First These are the days of sharing, not hoarding. No one can live unto himself alone in time of national peril. ‘The nation’s own food needs at this critical time are being carefully safeguarded. ‘There is enough food being held in reserve to allay any fear on that score. ‘Our own people will be fed first. But there is no quicker way to empty our warehouses than to buy in undue quantities. It was recently discovered by a certain federal food adatinistrator that some of the farmers in his state had from three to four years’ supply of flour laid away. Suppose every family in America were to hoard this much flour, Picture what that would do to the total annual supply of that universally used commodity, which in 1917 was 66,065,509 barrels. | ‘The food administration is prohibiting all hoarding of food supplies ‘on the part of dealers. No licensed déaler is permitted to hold food stores in excess of what are reasonable requirements for a period of 60 days. | Ail this is being done to protect the individual. ‘Therefore theré is ing need for individual hoarding and no real American ean be so unpa- ‘triotie as to block the normal flow of food supplies in this erisis by holding back more than he actually needs for his current use. : | Remember these are days of sharing.

Make Your a Sage By the ase of ordinary kitchen equipment many people are in a posi- tion to make up the average of 81 pounds of sugar, which ts the average each person in the United States used last year. A few sugar maple trees, well-kept colonies of bees, a hundred feet of sugar beets raised In the gar- den, or a small patch of sweet sor- ghum, and sugplus apples which might go to waste unless made into apple sirup may each be made. to contribute to the sugar supply. ‘The present Hmited sugar supply can he increased if many more families, in regions where the sugar maple grows, would each make maple sirup or sugar from ten or more maple trees. ‘Ten trees, tinder ordinary conditions, can be expected to yield about four gal- lons of sirup or thirty pounds of sugar.

Find a sugar maple tree ten or more Inches in diameter; bore a hole three-eights of an inch or slightly more in diameter: insert a metal spout or one made by punching the pith from a section of elder; set a bucket under it that the sap may collect: boll this down in a Kettle or shallow pan on a kitchen stove to the proper density for maple sirup. If sugar is preferred, boll it down further until it fs quite thick, taking care that it does not burn, and let it erystallize. “Sugar weather” often starts by the middle’ of February in the southern part of the sugar maple region. ‘The first sap Is sweetest. There ts no time to be lost in talking; get ready to take advantage of the first warm, Sunny days, “Old timers” say the out- look is good for a good sugar sea- son. i Prediction That Whiskers May Be Fad After the War London newspapers are predicting the full beard will come into fashion both in Europe and America as a re- sult of the war. War always has in- fluenced the style of whiskers, ob- serves the Louisville Courter, even In the time of Alexander the Great, who required his soldiers to shave off their beards because a heard was a handle which an enemy could seize. ‘The Crimean war in the fifties brought the full beard into fashion again, In the campaign British sol- diers spent months in the trenches where they had no chance to shave. Their beards grew and grew and they wore them when they returned to England. ‘The English papers say that many soldiers coming home from the trenches are bearded, and, unless pre- cedents fail, the full beard is go- Ing to come Into fashion again. Should our American troops return from the war with beards, we may look for that fashion to become prevalent again in America as it did after the Civil war. Coal Gas for Motor Fuel. Probably the first motor car in America to use coal gas as fuel is a New York machine that has an 8 by 45-inch steel tank’ mounted on one of its running boards, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The cylinder, when charged to a pressure of about 2,000 pounds to the square inch, car- ries sufficient fuel to drive the ma- chine about one hundred and twenty miles. For automobile propulsion, compressed gas at 80 cents a thou- sand feet is sald to be about 25 per cent cheaper than gasoline at 28 cents a gallon. ‘This comparison 1s based ou mileage rather than thermal units. ff | Sa How Red Cross Workers Are © Now Knitting Two Socks at Same Time for Army Boys Knitting two socks at one time Is an achievement every war knitter would like to be equal to.* Some of the Red Cross shops are passing the news around that it can be done. The dis- covery was credited to a Sydney, Aus- tralia, workshop. ‘This shop Increased its output from 50,000 pairs of socks one month to 76,000 pairs the next by knitting “twins.” Miss Brown, who came to this country to impart the di- rections to our Red Cross, gives the following instructions on knitting twin socks : “The purling for the top of the socks is knit separate. When one Is finished take It off with a darning needle on to a heavy cord. When the other is fin- ished slip the first one Inside the sec- ond one, from the top, and with the knitting needle take up from first one and then the other, alternating, begin- ning with the first stitch from the needle and ending with the last stiteh from the one on the cord, Hold the sock toward you, purling the first stitch, which Is from the sock that was on the needle, and knitting the second stitch from the one that was on the cord; proceed with the first purl and then knit, holding the thread over the first finger for knitting, and soon you will acquire a rhythm. “When you get to the heels take off as in any sock. As you turn your heel always purl the one next to you and knit the other, To narrow take first and third stitei, purl them and slip the needie out, which leaves one stitch from the opposite sock, which slip onto your needle and narrow knitting. There is uo slip and bind in this sock, When finished slip the needles out and take up your separate socks and bind off. Zn purling never put your thread over —always keep it toward you, as if you ‘are purling back.on your heel.” ‘The teacher said that after knitting three pairs one would become as effi- cient as in knitting the single sock.

Below the telescope is a prism, so that the image seen is not an object directly underneath, but at any desired distance ahead, accord- ing to the angle at whch it is set. For instance, if the airplane is 10,000 feet up, and the speed Is such that the bomb must be released half a mile from the object, the prism has to be set at an angle of 15 degrees. Even then the calculation is Hable to error, because the density of different layers of alr may vary. —$——___ About the Sun. “Sun” 1s among the words contained in the latest issued sections of the Oxford English dictionary.

Skimping Meals for Youngsters Is Not a Necessary War Measure - and Is Inadvisable—Metal i SOME BILLS OF FARE Boxes Most Favored. FOR A SCHOOL LUNCH The school Junch has always had Its problems for the mother who is eager to provide a wholesome noon repast for her school kiddies. Almost always the school lunch is a hurriedly arranged item among the mother's early morn- ing duties, and it is sometimes difficult te give this meal the attention it de- serves, War's food conservation problems have not helped in the matter of school-lunch preparation, but if any of the family is entitled to some immun- ity to food regulations, it is the grow- ing child who eats one of his meals away from home each school day. In the opinion of the food experts of the United States department of agricul- ture, skimping meals for the young- sters is not a necessary war measure and {s inadvisable. ‘The food spectal- ists have discussed ia publication of the department of agriculture the foods that should make up the school lunch, the preparation and packing of lunches, and serving lunches partly or wholly prepared at schools. Some sug- gested bills of fare for the basket lunch are given in another column, Number of Foods Carried. The number of foods that can ‘be easily carried has been enlarged of late by the possibility of using paraffin paper and parchment paper, in which “moist foods can be wrapped so as to prevent them from sticking to other foods. Paper cups, jelly glasses and so on, are also a help, for in them sliced raw fruits, stewed fruits, cus- tards, cottage cheese and other half- solld foods can be carried, ‘The quality of the bread uséd in the basket lunch is especially important because {it is commonly served in the form of sandwiches and is, therefore, to be considered not only as 2 food in Itself but also as a means of keeping other much-needed foods in good and appetizing condition, or of serving them In attractive ways. Variety in breads, too, ts more Im- portant at this than at other meals Decause of the danger of monotony. Wheat bread, whole-wheat bread, corn, rye, or ontmeal breads; nut, raisin, and date breads; beaten biscuit, rolls, crisp baking-powder biscuit, or soda biscult, and toast, zwleback and crack- ers may be used In turn to give variety. Rolls hollowed out can be made to hold a large amount of sandwich fill- ing, which 1s an advantage at times. Advantage of Boxes. Many kinds of lunch boxes, pails, and baskets are now on the market. ‘The chief advantage of most boxes and pails is that they are made of metal and can, therefore, be easily cleaned and scalded to keep them in safe con- dition. Some boxes have the advan- tage over pails that they can be folded when empty and strapped with the school books. Baskets are ventilated ‘and for this reason suitable for carry- ing molst foods which are likely to spoil, ‘There is no reason, however, why small holes cannot be punched in metal boxes or pails to let in the alr, Baskets can, of course, be washed or ‘scalded, but not so easily as metal containers, and they should be fre- quently cleansed. There should, in fact, be no part of any food container that cannot be cleaned. For this rea- son the simplest boxes and baskets are often better than the more elaborate ones with compartments in which to ‘keep dishes, knives, forks and spoons. With the increase in automobile travel, well-constructed boxes and baskets which can be easily cleaned have come on the market with compartments for keeping food:hot or cold and for hold- ing liquids. ‘These are, of course, sult- able only for children who ride back and forth, and particularly suitable where se¥eral lunches are put up in ‘one household.

Hydrocyante-acid gas is the best weapon to use against insects infesting the follage of ornamental plants in greenhouses. It 1s cheaper and more effective than any other means and it fs successful against nearly all in- sects. It 1s explained in a new publl- cation of the United States depart- ment of agriculture, “Fumigation of Qrnamental Greenhouse Plants With Hydrocyanic-Acid Gas,” that in green- houses containing large variety of plants slight injury may result to the tender growths of some plants even when the fumigation ts properly done. ‘This injury {s not permanent, how- ever, and such plants will show new vigorous growth in a short time. In fact, the growth of many plants Is stimulated by this gas. Cyanide is a very polsonous substance and extreme care must be used in its handling. Mashed Potato Dishes. Most housekeepers know how de- Uelous mashed potatoes can be made by beating them until Nght with hot milk, butter or ofher good fat, and salt and pepper, four tablespoonfuls of hot milk and one teaspoonful of the fat for every medium-sized potato. To make the mashed potatoes a little “dif- ferent,” they can be turned into a po- tato souffle by adding the beaten white of eggs (two eggs.to six medium-sized potatoes), piling lightly in a baking dish and baking in the oven till brown. Grated cheese added to this soume Is good. Won't Boil Over. A fruit ple will not boll over if the sugar is put under the fruit. ‘THE TWIN CITY STAR, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. fs A SFiS f POWER IN BRITISH POLITICS | Lady Bathurst, the indomitable and fearless proprietor, editor and manager of the London Morning Post, ‘again appears in the spotlight when, by proceedings instituted by the gov- ernment, her chief editorial assistant, Howell A. Gwynne, and her military correspondent, Col. Charles A’Court Repington, were fined $500 each and costs for the publication of an article in the Post ussailing the government and the war cabinet for the conduct of the war in France. Lady Bathurst, as the sole sur- viving child, inherited the paper from her father, the late Lord Glenesk, who died about elght years ago. She took active charge of the paper, and the Journalistic world soon learned that she was actually running things at the office of the Post, for she made rapid changes in the members of the staff whenever it suited her whim or when she considered she had good grounds for finding fault. The reading world soon recognized that Lady Bathurst was ably upholding the policy of independent conservatism lald down by her father, and the politicians quickly learned that she was a power in politics. Lady Bathurst has especially waged relentless war on the ‘Times and on Lord Northcliffe. She personally declined to permit the advertisement of the London ‘Times announcing the reduction of its price to one penny some years ago to appear in the Post. It has been a lively Journalistic war. Some ‘weeks ago Lady Bathurst induced Colonel Repington, who had been the mlll- tary critic and éxpert of the Times for 15 years, to come over to the Morning Post to fill a like position. “Carrots are cartridges, Care . are bullets, every ear of cort oo ae onion, beet, bean, pea and 4. 8 wheat is ammunition, and e ( — with a hoe is a ‘food rook : — great war this country ts no a oo against the spectres, Food fe ee and Famine and their offspr om ease, Malnutrition, Want and Pe> 72 said Mr, M, York Recklaw, ats joe a of the national agricyltural p ue + ea iission, . ee ‘This commission is a der! fel the garden city movement ee oe .neetion with which some 2001 ¥ s ‘a Ke cities and towns in the envirc ae New York gathered 12 mont! | ee : discuss methods of developi ws a interest in gardens, so as to “ the yields of vegetables and £ } Recklaw is a professional £ New York, who is devoting h {| helping solve the complica - SS problems created by the wi He was interviewed im his office at food administration head “This isn't a theory ; it’s a plain cold fact that the United Stat fronting the most appalling food shortage In Its history, a shortage turn to famine for a large part of our population If we don't now 1 tively face the facts and prepare the army and the ammunition to silent invasion of those unseen foes.” ele He was interviewed in his office at food administration headquarters: “This isn't a theory; it’s a plain cold fact that the United States is con- fronting the most appalling food shortage in its history, a shortage Ghat may turn to famine for a large part of our population If we don't now and effec- tively face the facts and prepare the army and the ammunition to repel the silent invasion of those unseen foes.” DANIELS’ ABLE ASSISTANT Franklin D.

These happenings oecurred last Ing. The employee of Uncle Sam took with him four pairs of eyeglasses, as they were to stay down river several days, und eyeglasses are easily broken. During the days that ensued three pairs of glasses were broken, until he had gotten down to bis last pair. One evening the party took a trip in an automobile. On the way baci later, through some ‘mismanagement, the car went over in the ditch and Its contents spilled into the road. Nobody was hurt, but the government employee had that last pair of glasses knocked off his nose. They searched the road, but were unable to find the aids to vision. The man had the notion that they had fallen on the grass, and were unbroken. He clung to this hope after they had returned to the launch. “Jim,” he told the colored man-of-all-work, “tomorrow morning early you go back up the road to where we had that spill last night and see if you can't find my glasses.” 3 “The next morning, when the government employee awoke, he recalled is glasses, and wondered if Jim had gone after them. “I can see him now,” he said. “Now he is coming down the road, now he is looking in the grass—ah! there they are.” Jim had got ahead of him, however, for no sooner had he thought this. than that early bird Jim hove in sight at the head of the ladder running down Into the cabin. “I found ‘em, I found ‘em!" shouted Jim, holding the glasses uloft ia triumph. a ‘Then Jim slipped and broke the glasses into a thousand bits.

Negro Must Use "Extreme Caution" and Face Facts Squately. Atlantic City, Feb. 28. "The American Negro needs to exercise extreme caution lest it be swept away on a wave of false optimism," says Floyd Delos Francis, secretary-general of the Negro American Alliance. In a statement which the Alliance is sending out from its national headquarters, the Secretary General continues: "It is well to be optimistic and look on the bright side of thighs, but there is a danger mark that must be carefully avoided. At the present time there is much machine-made opinion finding its way into the public print. The Negro is being assured that all is well. There is much talk about what he has done in the past and how he can be depended upon in the future. He is being lauded as an American citizen who always rises equal to the emergency. While being filled with enthusiasm by hired enthusiasts it is well for him to pause, face the facts squarely and use his common sense. "We are at war with Austria, yet Austrian alien enemies have more privileges than Negro soldiers in uniform. The fact is that democraey is being made a farce and mockery right here in America. It is time for the Negro to cease fooling himself or when the war is over he will be lost." - Balto-Afro-American Ledger. OUR UNCHANGED POLICIES. Now that the candidates for office are entering the race in the coming primaries, and The Twin City Star has always taken an active part in discussing the political situation and presenting the issues of the campaign; it will try to maintain its former policies of giving a fair expression of the attitude of all office-seekers, so far as the Negro is concerned. It does not (for revenue only) write up every candidate as "a friend of our race" or "the right man in the right place." It gives each the advantage of the columns under "paid advertisements." The Twin City Star intends to expose any candidate whose record has been against the Negro. Its editor has a fair knowledge of the history of several campaigns and has made a study of the value of the Negro vote. He is not bound by any individual or party, and has stood, at all times, for the political recognition of Negro voters. The Twin City Star is a paper with a worthy purpose, recognized by its readers as a reliable source of information, an intelligent and fearless advocate for equal rights for all men. We have never known two injustices to make anything right. The Saturday News has prospered by being as just to the white man as it has ever been to the Negro. We have never gone off half-cooked upon any proposition. Whenever we grope, we are in-search of the truth. We want to be right and avoid as nearly as possible being wrong. We are not for the Negro right or wrong. We want him to be right. We complain because a majority of white people will always side with a white man when a question arises between him and one of our color; still certain colored newspapers, without making any investigation whatsoever as to the evidence, would have the entire Negro race do identically what they condemn the white people for doing. Because the white people do wrong is no reason why the Negroes should do wrong. The best preparedness to receive justice is to be just yourself. —Hopkinsville (Ky.) News. Remember the "THIRD LIBERTY LOAN." ADVERTISE IN THE STAR Francis Condemns Wrongs Against Negro Americans Speech of Attorney W. T. Francis at the reception to the members of the St. Paul Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., at the St. Paul Public Library. Mr. Chairman, Dr. Johnston, Ladies and Gentlemen: We are here tonight upon the invitation of the Public Library extended by Dr. Dawson Johnston, librarian, for the purpose of urging us as a people to use the facilities of the public library to the fullest extent and to be conducted through this magnificent building in order that we may more fully acquaint ourselves with the advantages it offers. We appreciate sincerely the consideration and courtesy ALBERT ATTY. W. T. FRANCIS. shown us in this matter and I feel it my duty at this time to admit that many of our people have not heretofore enjoyed the benefits offered by the library, but their failure to do so was not caused by carelessness or lack of appreciation of the educational and literary advantages offered, but arose out of timidity born of humiliation suffered at the hands of the management of other public institutions in St. Paul. Some years ago we enjoyed the pleasure of membership in the Y. M. C. A. We had the honor of being on its basketball, its indoor baseball and track teams, and various members of our race represented the organization in its field day/exercises and contests with the sister organization in Minneapolis. When the new building was proposed and contributions solicited from the public, we, as individuals, and in our organizations, gave of our means for the purpose of bearing the cost of the new building. When, however, the new building was completed, we were informed that our membership would be discontinued and that our presence at the new quarters was undesirable. When the Wilder Baths were opened in St. Paul, although the money through which that institution found its being, was contributed from a fund, the donor of which had provided in his will should be used for the 'worthy poor of St. Paul, we were denied the pleasure and use of those baths. This country and its European allies are engaged in a titanic struggle to make the world safe for democracr. Thousands of black boys have been called from their homes in the South to the training comps to prepare for the journey across the sea to fight in the trenches in no man's land. When they left their homes they had to wait in dark and dingy separate Negro waiting rooms to board Jim Crow cars, and as they whirl thru the state of Tennessee I fancy I can see the picture arising before their mind's eye of the recent horrible bruning at the stake of one of the members of the race; as they rode thru the state of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana. I believe they saw in retrospect the pictures of black men and women and children lynched by unawful mobs. After they had reached the camp and especially at Houston, Texas, and while wearing the uniform of the American Army, and as they passed along the streets of Houston by the public parks, I feel with them the humiliation they suffered when their eyes rested upon the signs at the entrance to the park "Negroes Not Allowed." A few day ago in the great city of New York, in its laudable purpose to celebrate the birthday of our first president, George Washington, whom we delight to honor as the father of our country, plans had been made for the parading of ten thousand American soldiers with a view to stirring patriotism and inspiring loyalty. It was intended that no black soldiers should participate in this patriotic demonstration, but the Negroes of that city, filled with patriotism to the country and loyalty to its flag, were not satisfied with the thought that they should not be represented in the honors given to the soldiers while in this country after they had trained for service abroad, demanded that some of the black soldiers from the same training camp whence came the white, be permitted to follow the flog on Broadway. After great pressure brought to bear upon municipal, city and government officials it was determined that one battalion, 600 Negroes, should be in the line, provided, that the Negroes of the city of New York should furnish the food for the black boys on the day of the parade. Undaunted, by this unusual provision, they were equal to the emergency and met the condition and through their loyalty and patriotism their hearts were made glad by the sight of 600 real, simon pure, hundred per cent United States American patriots in that great celebration. The deeds of the American Negroes in the wars in which this country has been engaged furnishes some of the brightest pages of American history and no greater loyalty upon the battlefields of France, and no nobler deeds of valor in the front line trenches will be done by any soldiers, and no man will die with a brighter smile on his face in sacrificing his life for the principles of democracy than will the Negro. This race segregation and discrimination is caused by the viper prejudice which has spread its virus from South to North, East and West, but we are praying that pulpit, church, press and all right thinking people will cry aloud and spare not until this crime against God and humanity is destroyed from the earth. By your initation, Dr. Johnston, and through acts of kindred nature, we believe we see the dawn of a new day upon earth. We are looking beyond this wild, engulfing world war, across the seething musk of murdering, lynching American mobs, through the thick maze of social and industrial propaganda into the purposes of God, for the ultimate triumph of justice—and we thank you. A COMING EVENT. Hon. Moorefield Story has shown his unwavering attitude in standing for fair play and justice to the Negro and is giving all of his time, money, energy and intelligence to secure their rights guaranteed under the constitution. His recent victory in arguing so successfully the Louisville segregation case in the supreme court in which a unanimous decision favorable to us was handed down, marks him one of, if not the greatest, modern abolitionists. We can best show our appreciation to Mr. Story as he says: "Do not hold laudatory meetings but I shall feel best repaid, if every branch will join enthusiastically in the effort to secure 50,000 members for the N. A. A. C. P. We need a large membership to insure the permanent success of our great movement against race prejudice. Plans are being perfected for the great MOOREFIELD STORY DRIVE for members. Do your bit towards its success. Join the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People! Do it NOW! The Minneapolis rBanch has opened up its campaign to contribute its share to the 50,000 membership in the Moorefield Store Drive. If we are determined to stem the tide of prejudice and safeguard our rights; the association must be strong in numbers and in financial resources, and it will be a greater power throughout the nation. The membership fee is only ONE DOLLAR a year, one half of which is remitted to the New York National Headquarters and the other remaining half is retained in our treasury for local expenses. Will you not become a member and help the Association to make America free for black humanity? You must not be a slacker and you cannot be a conscientious objector. Have your dollar ready for the drive; let Minnesota be in the race by sending no less than 500 memberships. R. AUGUSTINE SKINNER, Local Secy.

PROMINENT KENTUCKIAN DEAD Benj, Rowe, Well Known in Public Life, Was an Ideal Character. Benjamin Rowe died March 24th, 1918, at Richmond, Ind., after a lingering illness. He was a native of Kentucky, born at Danville, Ky., April 14, 1857. He was one of the best known characters among the public men of his state, having served as executive messenger to Gov. W. O. Bradley, and Gov. W. S. Taylor, the first and second Republican governors of Kentucky. He moved to Richmond, Ind., in 1900, where he has since resided with his family. He enjoyed the reputation of being one of the best informed agriculturists of his section. He produced a grade of tobacco which bore his name, and a state-wide reputation. Mr. Rowe visited the famous Mayo Bros. at Rochester, Minn., in search of health. During his last days he was visited by a host of friends of both races. The daily press paid him a glowing tribute. He was a loyal citizen and a loving husband and father. He leaves a wife, Rebecca, and children, Helena, James and Garrison Rowe of Richmond, Ind.; Mrs. Hullsee McMachen of Hannibal, Mo., and Hamlet E. Rowe of Minneapolis, Minn.; five sisters, a brother and a host of friends. PETER H. HARRIS GLOVER SHULL HONORED PORTERS AND WAITER$ CLUB "SMOKE TALK" AND RE- CEPTION." Everything was ready for the reception to Pres. Glover Shull at the Porters and Walters' club last week, but on account of illness, Mr. Shull could not be present. The members enjoyed the evening as the guests of the president. Otis Murray's Orchestra rendered excellent music. Atty. Wm. R. Morris was the principal speaker, and in his remarks paid a high tribute to the work of Mr. Shull and gave some logical advice for race advancement. Manager Lee Wheeler had perfected all arrangements for a grand evening. The following letter was read by Mr. Geo. W. Holbert. ' Minneapolis, March 27, 1918. To the Members of the Porters' and Walters' Club: Dear Friends: Upon and ever since my return from my recent trip have been constantly greeted by so many evidences of genuine friendship and well wishes that it has caused me, after a consultation with Mang. Wheeler to decide to hold a reception and set apart an eveningto afford as many of the members an opportunity to meet me as could find it convenient to be present and at the same time afford me the pleasure of recounting to you some of the happenings of my trip which impressed me most and which might prove interesting to you and at the same time show to you that I as your president, appreciate the loyalty you have shown to the Waiters and Porters' Club. I saw and met many fine people during my trip and made the acquaintance of some whom I shall always hold in the very highest esteem, but by far the most gratifying thing was to find upon my return all the old trusted employees laboring as earnestly and getting along as harmoniously as when I left, with the same old regular friendly faces as members and patrons. You, perhaps, cannot realize how much this means to me. We have all struggled along together to provide and maintain a place of pleasure and pastime where we could meet and follow such inclinations for social intercourse as we believed we were entitled to as good and law-abiding citizens. At times the way has been pretty rocky and it looked as though the old ship must go down. But we have weathered every storm and at last are calling in fairly tranquil seas. How much of this is due to you as members and patrons cannot be expressed in mere words. Certain it is that without your constant support and genuine personal friendship which extends even beyond the environs of this club, that the Waiters' and Porters' club would have by this time been only a memory, pointed to perhaps as the futile and broken effort of a man who had sought to give to his people the best in its line that they had ever had before. But fate decreed that our joint efforts should be successful and it is in consideration of these things that I have invited you to meet me tonight in a sort of "welcome home" visit, that will prove far more enjoyable to me than it possibly can be to you. It will afford us all an opportunity to get closer together, to exchange ideas, to make such suggestions which you as members have the right to, which in your opinion may improve the service and morale of this our common home. I want each and every one of you to feel that you are part and parcel of this organization, and that you have a personal interest in its welfare and the proper conduct of its affairs. And I can assure you that I will always exert every possible means to protect and safeguard your interests striving always to justify the confidence which you have reposed in me in the past, for I realize that without the same hearty support and co-operation in the future that you have given in the past we cannot possibly hope for continued success. The rooms of the club, the services of its officials and employees, its treasury and all other resources at its command, will always be open to any worthy project or object that stands for the betterment or protection of any of the interests of the race. Your wants and wishes will be as carefully looked after in the future as in the past, while we shall always strive to improve. The war has struck us as severe a blow as any other class of citizens and we, of course, must bear our portion of the burden. Hundreds of our young men have been called to the colors, most of them members of this club. How well we did our duty towards them upon their departure. I need scarcely to remind you at this time. Many of our members through changed local conitions, have been thrown out of employment or had their earning capacity greatly reduced. All foodstuffs used in our restaurant, as well as every commodity used in every department, have advanced from 50 to 400 per cent; all these changed conditions have greatly increased operating expenses while the receipts have naturally fallen off. And yet, in spite of all these adverse conditions, it affords me great satisfaction to state that by practicing the strictest economy and by careful buying, the advance in prices to the members has been so little as to be scarcely noticeable and the number of employees have remained practically the same and not a single man has suffered from any reduction in salary. It is most disappointing to me to realize at this time that I shall be unable to be with you tonight. To have an affair of this kind come off and me not be with the gang is indeed hard lines. But I am confined to my bed under the strict orders of my physician, suffering from a minor operation and can be with you only in spirit. But I want you to enjoy yourselves to the limit and behave yourselves in the same decorous manner that you always do. And if in the midst of the hilarity you look around and miss me, just remember that my heart is with you and just say to yourselves that "old Glover is kicking more than we are." I have requested one of the club employees (Mr. Geo. Holbert, to read this letter to you to make an explanation of my absence. And now wishing you a very enjoyable evening and hoping to soon be with you all again, I remain, Respectfully your President, GLOVER SKULL LOCAL NEWS IMPORTANT NOTICE Unless notes are written plainly and properly arranged they will not be inserted.

THE WAY TO MAKE MONEY. If you wish to add to your income, you can do so by accepting an agency for The Twin City Star. Good commission to competent agents. Use your spare time in soliciting ads and subscriptions. Only honest and intelligent agents wanted. Call Hyland 1205. Do not waste your time making promises to our agents. Send your money by Express or Post Office Order or in cash or postage stamps. We have some among our advertisers and subscribers who are a credit to our race for their business-like methods. They pay promptly in advance and expect nothing unreasonable in return. Others want to know "Why we can't 'trust' them?" or send a bill, and then a collector, and finally censor a Negro editor because he can't run his paper "like the white man." Few persons realize that it pays to pay as you go. The Star is not an installment plan proposition. It is a real newspaper run under many difficulties mostly due to the foolish notions and ignorant whims of those whom it serves and protects and from whom it should get its support and their consideration. READ THIS CAREFULLY If you receive a newspaper by mail and do not wish to pay for it, just refuse it by informing your postman. Then it will be returned to the publisher and he will be notified to discontinue sending it. There is no reason why a person should pay for a paper forced on them, but every reason why it should be paid for when ordered and accepted. Are you a delinquent subscriber? If so, why not send your subscription? The Twin City Star stands for equal rights for all American citizens. Owing to an increase in cost, we have raised our prices on all composition. Reading notices will be 10c per line under one inch and 50c per inch thereafter. THE STAR is the CHEAPEST and BEST NEGRO PAPER in the NORTHWEST. It needs 500 more Subscribers to keep it going. Help to get us A BIGGER CIRCULATION. YOUR PUBLICITY PAYS. All persons interested in the progress of their lodges, churches, societies etc., should value the power of printer's ink. They should see that their secretaries SEND ALL NOTICES to the newspapers in proper time. They think the Editor should attend every affair, whether invited or not, and should know "What is going on?"—without being informed. Many exchanges, clip from our columns, and often things, done in Minneapolis get national publicity. AGENTS WANTED—NOW! Reliable and intelligent agents always wanted to solicit business for THE TWIN CITY STAR; also correspondents in principal cities. A chance to earn a good living. Write The Twin City Star, Minneapolis. THE TWIN CITY STAR will be sent to any out of town address. Send your subscription in postage stamps. Read your home paper while visiting in other cities.

Copenhagen, April 5—It is persistently rumored in well informed circles that Count Czernin, Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, intends to resign as soon as peace with Roumania has been finally secured, says the Buda newspaper Az Est. THE TWIN CITY STAR. MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. Officials in the Philippines are investigating the possibility of obtaining larger quantities of a high-grade lubricating oil from a vine that grows wild throughout the island. To enable the operator of an old-style typewriter to watch its work as in a visible machine, an inventor has patented a pair of mirrors to be mounted on it in the proper position. The production of potatoes in England and Wales last year has been officially estimated at 3,330,095 long tons, about one-third more than the year before and the greatest crop on record. Japanese scientists are searching for an explanation of an apparent relationship between the frequency of earthquakes of Tokyo and the amount of rainfall and snowfall in other parts of the empire. All the works of a new clock are inclosed in a ball representing the world, which slides down a strip of parchment inscribed with the hours, the numerals being pointed out by a figure of Father Time. SHOTS FROM THE MAGAZINE After all, the hardest extravagant habit to give up is one's wife. A lord high admiral of the German navy has resigned; but the navy quit first. Germany seems to have found a good market in the United States for tainted money. A pacifist is one who judges the patient medicine by the almanac that comes with it. Peace treaties are like oranges; picked too soon, they are green; left too long, they are rotten. Many a young man goes to sleep over a harmless flirtation and awakens to find himself married. Trouble is inexhaustible; despite the increased number of borrowers there is always enough to go round. Of course the Germans are not taking the American troops in France seriously; they are not taking them at all. Prospective candidates for state office are respectfully warned that the early boom doesn't always catch the nomination. German's peace terms to Russia look suspiciously as though she were trying to squeeze the bears in a cornered market. DO YOU KNOW THAT— The planet Pallas was discovered by Olbers, an astronomer, in 1802? Walnuts yield their own weight in oil, the flavor of which is considered equal to that of the finest Lucca oil? The world produces 13,000,000 tons of cotton a year, nine of which come from America and two and a half from India? Scientists have recently discovered that most fishes are able to focus their eyes on near objects by means of superior and inferior oblique muscles? An enormous amount of asbestos is being found in the Prieska district, Cape Colony, and thousands of bags are now being shipped to England? It is said to be of very good quality. ABOUT PERSONS Mrs. M. A. West, 86 Salt Lake City, has 187 living descendants. Seaman Hardy of Cleveland is the last survivor of Perry's expedition to Japan. Paul Fell of Shenandoah, Pa., survives a 125-foot fall off a roof. Alighted in a snowbank. Mrs. Bridget Miller of St. Louis, Mo., 27 years an applicant, has just been granted a soldier-widow's pension. Edward Sargent, a millhand dead in Danielson, Conn., was a French nobleman living under an assumed name. THE CYNIC SAYS A sure way to be ignorant is to think you know it all. Love based on pity is apt to come out in the laundry. How difficult to draw the line between genius and insanity! ABOUT PERSONS Carrie Chapman Catt refuses to run for congress in New York. Dan Rodus of Poplar Bluff, Mo., has a smoked ham thirty-seven year old. E. C. Jones of Philadelphia, has four six-foot sons in the U. S. army. G. H. Perris says German cannon losses now about equal manufacture. Palmer Cox, "brownle-man," lives in East Quogue, L. L., in retirement at seventy-seven. WISDOM NUGGETS A full silo and a clear conscience travel pretty close together. No culture can excel, in musical abandon, the vigor of a fellow playing on a jew's-harp. Suppose Holland should cut off our gin—there's the North Carolina turpentine camps. Give every man a chance. Never make fun of a man with big feet till you've seen him kill a snake. The farmer is as near independence as anybody—but inventive genius has brought him from the "gang hoe" to the gang plow. To see the frost looking so white and innocent, you'd hardly think it the inspiration of so many weather liars. STARS AND STRIPES The fault finder seldom offers sensible suggestions. Man can seldom climb to fame twice on the same ladder. Real patriotism is not easily bluffed in times of emergency. It is difficult to keep up to the appetite of the man who feeds on flattery. WALT WHITMAN I loaf and invite my soul.—Song of Myself. The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman.—Song of the Bread Axe. What do you suppose will satisfy the soul except to walk free and own no superior.—Laws for Creations. FROM THE PENCIL'S POINT Vanity sometimes spoils a multitude of real virtues. "Not guilty" is not necessarily an innocent remark. Few people are wise enough to know that ignorance is bliss. Greatness is never thrust upon the man who leads an aimless life. The man behind the snow shovel makes the biggest impression this winter. A stag party would be much more enjoyable if a few dears were invited. People may applaud a kicker at the start, but they feel like kicking him long before the finish. A Los Angeles minister recently prayed for those of his congregation who were too proud to kneel and too lazy to stand: ALBERT GREENLAW at St. Peter's A. M. E.
