THE TWIN CITY STAR. VOL. 8. ASKS CONGRESS FOR FIFTEEN BILLIONS ASKS CONGRESS FOR FIFTEEN BILLIONS SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER OUT LINES REQUIREMENTS TO CARRY ON THE WAR. WANTS MILLION MORE MEN Appropriation Is Intended to Cover the Initial Cost of a Minimum United States Army of Three Million Mep. Washington, May 3.—President Wilson, through Secretary of War Baker, requested Congress to appropriate $15,000,000,000 for expenses and blanket authority for increasing the numerical strength of the United States army. It was, officially proposed to limit the size of the fighting force only to the facilities of the war department for assembling the soldiers and transporting them to the battlefronts of Europe. This is the administration program adopted by the president and the cabinet last Tuesday. It came as a surprise to the House military affairs committee when presented by Secretary Baker, although the estimates were expected to be large. For Army of 3,000,000 Men. The appropriation is intended to cover the initial cost of a minimum army of 3,000,000 men. It is proposed to raise the additional forces necessary to get this total immediately. That means according to the experts, not less than another 1,000,000 must be obtained through the draft during the next few months. The outstanding feature of the schedule is that it will give the United States a greater army available for foreign service than is represented by the total military strength of the Teutonic empires on the western front. Secretary Baker told the committee he did not desire to estimate the number of men it might become necessary to raise "for the reason that any number implies a limit, and the only possible limit is our ability to equip and transport men which is constantly on the increase." Committee in Executive Session. Secretary Baker made his statement to the committee in executive session. He was accompanied by Major General March, chief of staff, and Provost Marshal General Crowder. It developed that when the first estimates were submitted by the war department for appropriations, the amounts named aggregated $6,610,223,299. At a later date, supplemental estimates brought the total up to about $7,500,000,000. Secretary Baker now estimates the last total must be doubled. In this way the estimate of $15,000,000,000 is reached. AMERICA WILL SEND ENOUGH MEN TO WIN Secretary Daniels Declares Age Limit Will Be Changed If Found Necessary. Philadelphia, May 3.—As many millions as may be needed to win the war be sent to the battlefront, Secretary Josephus Daniels declared in an address on behalf of the Third Liberty Loan. "Let us not think in terms of fixed numbers," said the secretary. "Congress has provided the selective draft and when there are enough ships all these men will be on the fields of France. If there is not enough men between 21 and 31 to win the war the age limit will be changed and men of 40 and 50 if need be will respond to the colors."

TEUTONS FRAMING AN EXCUSE MAY ATTACK AMERICAN HOSPI TAL VESSELS. Berlin Claims Red Cross Ships Are Carrying Yankee Aviators to France. London, May 3.---The German wireless which a few days ago sent out a dispatch alleging Americans aviators were crossing to Europe on hospital ships, reiterates these charges in a longer dispatch. The reason for the emphasis placed on this false charge by the Germans it is pointed out here, probably is that they are laying the foundation for justification at a later date of the torpeding of American hospital ships, in case any such ships are put in trans-Atlantic service to carry home invalid soldiers. It may be recalled that similar charges were spread broadcast about British hospital ships, as a prelude to torpedoing them. Claim Documentary Evidence. The German wireless message says: "American aviators are crossing to Europe as members of the Red Cross on hospital ships. This misuse of the Red Cross appears from documentary evidence found on American aviators who have been shot down. An American brought down in the region of the army of General von Hutter carried a pass, which referred to him as a member of the American Ambulance service for France." Young American Flier Wins Thrilling Battle at Height of About 15,000 Feet. With the American Forces in France, May 3.—An American aviator has brought down the fourth German airplane along the American front northwest of Toul. Lieut. James A.

He came to France a few months ago and qualified as a pilot here. Russia Is Evidently Preparing to Attack Finland. Copenhagen, via London, May 3.—The Finnish White Guards are now in possession of the whole of Finland, Helsingfors advices state. The Russians, the dispatches add, have concentrated great forces along the Finnish frontier, and attacks are expected. The situation is tantaum to a state of war between Finland and Russia.

BERLIN ISSUES STATEMENT Crimean City Is Principal Naval Station on Black Sea and Bulk of Russian Fleet Was at Last Accounts in Harbor. Berlin, May 3.—German troops have occupied Sebastopol in the Crimee, the war office announced in the following statement: "In the Ukraine, Sebastopol was occupied May 1 without a fight." Sebastopol is the principal naval station of Russia on the Black sea. The bulk of the Russian Black sea fleet was at last accounts in its harbor, which is the best on the Russian Black sea coast. The city lies 37 miles southwest of Simferopol, taken by the Germans a few days ago. Sebastopol figured prominently in the Crimean war. There is a cemetery containing the bodies of 127,000 victims of that conflict. The great seaport held out against the Franco-British siege from October, 1854, until September of the following year.

With the American Army in France, May 3.—The unit of German shock troops which attacked the American position at Seicheprey, April 20, is known to have suffered more severely than it was at first believed. Information has been received from a German prisoner, who was brought in by one of the American patrols. He was a Red Cross man who assisted in the removal of the wounded, and the burial of the dead after the engagements. He told the American intelligence officers the German force was cut to pieces, about four-fifths of its 1,500 effective being killed or wounded. In view of the fact that the prisoner gave other information of a definite character, the intelligence officers seemed to believe his statements relative to the German casualties. MEATLESS DAYS MAY SOON BE RESUMED Food Administration Says Further Economy Is Made Imperative By Short Marketing. Minneapolis, May 3.—"Meatless days" must be resumed unless the people of the United States cut down the consumption of meat immediately, Herbert C. Hoover, national food administrator, notified A. D. Wilson, federal food administrator for Minnesota. Further economy in the use of meat is made imperative by the present short marketing season, Mr. Hoover stated. Mr. Hoover states that there is now a seasonal abundance of milk products, which can be substituted in many forms. He also says that the shortage of fish during the last few months, due to the necessity of naval requisitioning of trawlers and the enlistment of fishermen for the navy, should be greatly relieved by the expansion of other forms of fishing. CHIEF INSTRUCTOR OF AIR FORCES IS KILLED Major Brindley and Colonel Damm Meet Death When Machine Falls 400 Feet. Dayton, O., May 3.—Major Oscar A. Brindley and Colonel Damm, two expert aviation men from the McCool federal flying field, met death at the Moraine City aviation field here. The machine dropped 400 feet while making a turn in the air. Colonel Damm and Major Brindley had started for an experimental trip in the air and had soared to a height of 400 feet when, witnesses say, in endeavoring to make a too sudden turn, the airplane went into a tall spin and dropped to the ground. Major Brindley was dead when taken from the machine and Colonel Damm was unconscious. He died while being taken to a hospital. Major Brindley was recently named chief instructor of the American aerial forces.

Fire Follows Explosion and Bodies Are Burned So Badly As to Be Unrecognizable. Omaha, May 3.—Two soldiers were burned to death and 18 were burned seriously when a captive observation balloon of the Cacquot type exploded at Florence field, the army balloon school at Fort Omaha, near here, according to a statement by Col. H. P. Hersey, post commandant. In the fire that followed the explosion one of the balloon sheds was badly damaged. Col. Hersey's statement follows: "A serious explosion occurred at Florence field when one of the observation balloons exploded as it was being stored away for the night. Static electricity, generated by friction of the balloon fabrics is believed to have caused the explosion. "Two men were killed, burned so as to be unrecognizable, and a call in the morning will be necessary before it is possible to establish their identity beyond question. "Eighteen men were more or less injured in the blast and a few quite seriously, but not fatally. The men burned received immediate medical attention by surgeons at the fort hospital. Everything possible is being done for them by an ample staff of surgeons." BUY W. S. S. SEVERAL IMPORTANT DECISIONS REACHED Inter-Allied Council of Marine Transport Transacts Much Business At Paris.

DISPLAYS ACTIVITY ALONG SOMME LINE DISPLAYS ACTIVITY ALONG SOMME LINE ROAR OF GERMAN BIG GUNS INDICATES ANOTHER EFFORT TO REACH AMIENS. LOOKING FOR WEAK PLACES Enemy Attacks At Various Points Appear to be for the Purpose of Deciding Where to Strike Next Blow. A m a t e r d a m, May 3.—The Deutsche Tages Zeitung Hints that the German offensive in Flanders may be abandoned and that the drive may be transferred to Italy. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung also says the Germans may not attack Ypres which is of no im- portance, "owing to the resis- tance expected from the Allied troops." London, May 3.—The Germans are displaying increased activity on the Somme battlefront and around the Montdidier salient to Noyon, probably in preparation for a renewal of their offensive in this area. Checked last week by the stiff Brit- ish and Franco-American resistance to their attempt to push further towards Amiens, the enemy forces are now engaged in trying out various portions of the southern front, in the apparent endeavor to find a weak spot. Finds Unyielding Barrier. One such effort, directed against positions held by American troops, has already been chronicled in the news dispatches. The enemy found an unyielding barrier here and retired with nothing but heavy losses to show for his attempt. There has been a similar thrust at the French in the Thennes region, southwest of Hangard. The artillery promptly broke up this drive. Later the German guns opened rather heavily in the Villers-Bretonneaux area, just north and directly east of Amiens, but no infantry attacks had developed up to the time the British official statement was issued at noon. Lull in Flanders Continues. Meanwhile the lull that followed the severe German defeat has continued on the Flanders front, only the artillery has been displaying activity there. The German guns were reported opening up a somewhat spirited fire in the region of Merris, indicating the possibility that the renewal of the German efort on the northern front, when it comes, may be developed along the Balleul-Hazebrouck road, on which Merris marks the furthest westward advance of the enemy. The British have been holding this line strongly, as guarding the direct route to the vitally important Hazebrouck railway junction. Apparently the Germans are not prepared to break the second lull in the Flanders battle until still more troops and greater concentrations of cannon are massed along the few important miles of the front southwest of Ypres. Signs are not wanting that General von Arnim is bringing up reinforcements and supplies, but the Anglo-French troops, stirred by the brilliant repulse of the enemy which caused him to cease his attacks for the second time, wait confidently. WAR DEPARTMENT WILL AGAIN GIVE ADDRESSES President Wilson Decides On Greater Publicity in Casualty Lists.

Gross extravagance and misuse of appropriations for the aviation program were suggested and in spirited speeches several senators declared further investigation should be made as to any criminal or civil liability of those responsible. Senator King, Utah, declared on the floor of the Senate, that there had "evidently been something criminal" in connection with aircraft production and that "somebody should be shot." "An officer made that statement to me and I agree with him," asserted King during discussion of the airplane program. Several senators had bitterly criticized the accomplishments of the board. BUY W.

Private Monson By LYNN ROBY MEEKINS (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) It was in the midst of the Civil war. Harner went out to take a last look at the field. A battle would certainly be fought the next day. His own inferences had been corroborated by a hint from the headquarters to which he was temporarily attached. When he first appeared as a war correspondent, full of the romance that his work promised, he waited for the fights and then threw into his descriptions all, the resources of his ready pen and prompt vocabulary, but it would not do. He soon found that by the time his copy was ready the other fellows held the wires and he was left to receive pleasant messages from the home office about dispatches being quite good, but somewhat ancient, with an occasional reminder that the paper he represented was not a monthly publication. So he learned to gather and arrange the preliminaries and then to dash in the details where the cannons were booming and the bullets were scoring their points with human lives in the great and glorious game of war. Even with the swiftness that experience had brought to him his lot was far from happy. He did not mind hard work—that was a part of the business—but after he had run through one of the hottest and prettiest skirmishes he had ever seen, had witnessed wonderful deeds of valor, and had taken his own life in his hands and made a bold dash across country to a telegraph station, only to receive in acknowledgment of his superb description the message, "Adjectives are cheap and telegraph tolls are not," his feelings were honestly hurt. True it was that the skirmish was but an incident in the mighty conflict between the great sections of a great country and history has not found space to mention it, but Harner knew that it was more savage and picturesque than many of the battles to which pages were given, and he wrote as he saw. Then, too, there was the restraint of his work. When a soldier is fired at he has the satisfaction of firing back, THE MASTER "You Can Fix it as You Please." but it is never pleasant to have the other fellow do all the shooting. As a correspondent Harner was a noncombatant. He was shot at as much as any of the soldiers and a great deal more than some of them, and he simply had to stand it without the privilege of returning the compliment. But he had become used to it all now, and the battle of the morrow must be attended to. He knew the locations of the commands; he believed he had the plans of the fight, and he wanted to get the field of operations so clear in his mind that his account would be as accurate in its topography as in its other important particulars. He had permission to rove within the lines and he was-on his way to the line. As he turned into a path which would save him some of the distance a young soldier overtook him. He was handsome and young, with the rosy health of perfect physical manhood. Harner viewed him closely and into his mind came a pity that such hope should be used as food for gunpowder. "My name is Monson, Company C. Eighth volunteers," he said, "and I want you to do me a favor." "Very glad to do anything I can," replied Harner. "Your paper goes to our town and anything that is printed about us will be read there," he went on. "What I ask may seem a little strange, but I know that you can do it without much trouble to yourself." "Well, what is it?" "In your dispatch about tomorrow's fight I want you to report as dead William B. Monson, private in Company C, who enlisted from Spring Falls." Harner took a more careful look at the young man, but there was nothing in his contenance to indicate that he was either insane of insincere. But it seemed to be a jest and Harner smiled. "How would you like it put?" he asked. "I don't understand." "Of course you want to die a hero's death. Shall I have you leading your company over the enemy's ramparts; or dashing forth to grasp the flag from hostile hands; or picking up a burning bomb; or throwing yourself in front of your captain to save his precious uniform from an approaching bullet—or shall it be just a plain case of dead in the line of duty with only an empty knapsack and a visiting card to tell the story of a life cut down in the bloom of youth? "You can fix it as you please," said the young man solemnly. "I suppose you newspaper fellows have to put things in to fill up and as I am going to die it won't make much difference how it happens. But I'll be satisfied with just a line—just say I'm dead. That's all I ask." "I suppose," he said, "that you have never taken time to consider why my paper keeps me out here or why I stay. It isn't for the fun of the thing, I assure you. They are not paying me a salary and expenses merely to spend their surplus or to enable me to telegraph bogus news. If you had had four years of the work only to get complaints from alleged editors, who sit in easy chairs and think they rule in the country with a headline or a double-leased screed and who know more than all the generals and correspondents in both armies you would understand things better. It's hard enough to persuade these omnipotents to recognize real news when they see it, much less to send them statements which are not true." Harner's sarcasm went for naught. The soldier did not comprehend it and apparently did not care to. His only reply was vaguely put. "I suppose I would," he said, "but you'll do this for me, won't you?" "Of course not." "Why won't you?" "Simply because I won't," said Harner with emphasis. The soldier stood as if undetermined what to do. Then he looked up and said: "Well, never mind, for you'll have to do it anyhow." "I hope not," replied Harner, and more seriously, "you're too young to die. Your country needs you even if your sweetheart doesn't." Blushing deeply and stammering something which Harner did not understand the soldier turned and walked raidly away. The battle was fought. Throughout the conflict Harner was here, there and everywhere getting facts and names and details. There was no time in that awful slaughter to notice trifles. Human lives were as cheap as grass and were mowed down as mercilessly. So it happened that it was not until several days later when the papers containing the reports reached the moving army that Harner observed his own report: "Monson, William H.—Private Company C. Enlisted from Spring Falls, Shot through the shoulder while saving company's colors." In the next issue was a dispatch from Spring Falls saying that Monson was one of the best young men of Spring Falls and that his death was universally deplored. "Well that beats me," said Harner, "I wonder if my memory served me a trick, I'll see." The command had moved many miles but the company was still with it and he immediately sought out the captain and asked him about Private Monson. "Poor fellow!" was the reply. "He was the bravest fool I ever saw. I suppose they buried him with the rest." After the war Harner did not return to his paper. The editors who had mutilated his copy and against whom he had an accumulated antipathy equal to that which the war correspondents, whose usefulness Harner could prove was first pointed out by General George Washington, were still in charge and he did not feel like coming directly under their orders. So he tried other things, but as the years went by and the other things did not make him rich, he succumbed to the inevitable and entered journalism again. To him was given a roving commission to visit and write up the places where the conquests of industry were making the wealth that was to pay the debts of the war. In the course of time his duties took him to Spring Falls, a village which had become a city, with its splendid water power utilized, with great manufactories on every side. He saw it all and finally he saw upon the side of a large mill, "William H. Monson." The name seemed strangely familiar, and yet he could not place it. It was gone amid all the thousands of forgotten things in the crowded years. But the next morning it came like a flash. And then the story. Colonel Monson told it at his own fireside after Harner had been presented to his wife as the man who refused to report him dead. "But I did report you dead," insisted Harner. "Yes, but it was all a mistake. They thought I was, but I wasn't. In fact it was almost as untrue as the report which reached me the day before the battle that a certain young lady had thrown me over." And after that came the experiences so interesting to hear in time of peace that were so hard to know in the days of war. Food Economy. "Not as much as he used to," answered Mr. Jobbles. "I'm teaching that dog to Fletcherize. Yesterday I induced him to znaw a single small bone for an hour." THE TWIN CITY STAR, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. THE NEW YORKER Striped satins and taffetas, combined with plain georgette crepe, for afternoon gowns, are proving themselves an unfailing source of inspiration to the designers. Just the many variations that can be made in the arrangement of stripes gives much room for the play of fancy and for good management of lines. Speaking of stripes, stout women ought to take note that they are to be considered a special dispensation of Providence for their benefit. The modiste who knows how to manage them can do wonders for her stout patrons. The pretty afternoon frock shown in the picture is just one more of the happy combinations of striped taffeta and plain georgette that is different from any of the others. The dress is mostly of the striped satin and always the stripes run in a diagonal. The skirt is disposed of by making it plain with stripes running downward from left to right. It has a three-inch hem, is not quite ankle length, and for an older woman should be made a little longer. The tunic is of accordian plaited georgette, with a wide blas border of the satin. It is uneven in length all round. The bodice is very cleverly Some Unusual Ideas in Hats. L J "Safe and sane" is descriptive of the shapes of hats and the management of their trimlings this season. Those who buy them in quantities and where styles are originated, tell us that there were never fewer bizarre or extravagant ideas in millinery than at present. The task of the designer is made more difficult by this state of things. She must contrive little unusual and unexpected touches on these matter-of-fact shapes, in order to answer the demand for distinctive and original ideas, which women clamor for in their millinery. In the three hats shown in the group above, the designers have met and overcome their difficulties. At the top there is a shape of black lisse braid in the crown and a brim of black maltes that suggests a poke bonnet with its lifted point at the middle of the front. We might look for quaint flower trimming and ribbon streamers on this shape, but we find the unexpected in two fans of Japanese algrette and six braid buttons and simulated buttonholes of braid across the front. This combination of picturesque shape and tallored finish will please the woman who is looking for a hat that can be worn almost anywhere. At the left of the picture there is a Milan shape with drooping brim faced --- managed with the left side cut so that it is extended into a girdle of the satin that is brought around the waist and fastens under the arm at the left. The sleeves are made of georgette crepe, with deep cuffs of satin, and there is a small shawl collar of the crepe. A lace collar partly overlays it, to provide a bit of white next the face. This pretty frock is made with very little material; stripes make other decorations, like plaits and tucks, unnecessary. It takes much cleverness to manage them just right, but the play is worth the candle, for they make very graceful gowns. They are all particularly useful for remodelling gowns, because they change the appearance of an old dress completely. Use of Japanese Crepe. A wonderfully pretty negligee may be fashioned from the new Japanese crepe which is inexpensive as well as beautiful. Six yards of bordered crepe are required to reproduce the negligee. It has perfectly straight lines and the cuffs and collar correspond with the border at the lower edge. Not to overdo the decorative scheme, the pockets are left plain. I with crepe georgette. It has an unlooked-for splint in the brim at the left side, that is odd and pretty. There is a band of blue crepe like the facing about the crown and above this a collar of narrow more ribbon tied with a bow at the front. Four jet ornaments on the side crown proclaim the return of jet in millinery. At the right there is a small shepherdess shape, with a sash in black on a black hat faced with rose. The sash wanders over the back brim and is fastened under it in a bow set against a bandeau. The quilts are the odd feature in this hat. They are shaded in rose-color and black and curve over the crown and about the right brim, following the lines of the shape as closely as possible. They are feathers, of course, but so highly enameled that they look as if they might be made of porcelain. Julis Bottomly To Flute Organdle.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP WASHINGTON.—There is an alley with a gutter down the middle and bushes shooting above the fences that wall it in. All along are gates that open into back yards. And, always, little children romp in and out in stroyer is going to send that sub to the bottom and Billy's ship is laying alongside to rescue the crew. You see that woman standing before that stone wall with her arms tied and a handkerchief over her eyes? Well, she's a spy. If you wait a minute till the firing squad comes up you can see her shot, if you want to." The woman spy, who must have been every day of four years old and who masked her inquiries in a pink gingham slip and bob curls, posed smilingly against the fence, with one eye peeking over her bandage. Up marched the squad, led by a drummer, knee high to that grasshopper which lends itself so accommodatingly to occasions like this. Each soldier wore khaki or a sailor suit or an Indian costume, and all were armed with real toy guns.

All the time, the woman in the fine clothes and make-up watched the baby with that hungry look that—you can't put it in words, but the next time you see a baby in a car, say, watch the passengers, men and women, and somewhere in that crowd you will catch the expression. But you couldn't spell it to save your life. The woman looked at the baby that way, and right in the middle of its pounding and kicking and yelling, by some luck—maybe it wasn't just luck, either, but never mind that—by some luck, the baby caught the woman's glance, stopped crying, held out its arms and began to coo. It was a clear case of hypnotism. The woman gathered up her belongings with subconscious conventionality, paid her bill and then went straight to the baby and took him in her arms. The mother was frankly gratified that a woman of such worldly affluence should be playing nurse to her child, until—until another woman at another table—an ominously virtuous woman whose milk of human kindness seemed to have curled came over and whispered a remark. The mother took her baby from the woman, and the woman, understandingly, went out of that cafe mad enough to bite nails. That was all there was to it unless—unless some day—somewhere—a viciously good meddler and an overprudent mother who snatched her baby from the arms of a middle-aged Delliah should be called to account by an accusing Judge, who, himself, loved little children when he walked the earth—a long time ago.

THE KITCHEN CABINET prepared on short notice. Canned soups are another available dish. A white sauce with fish, flesh or fowl or almost any vegetable, cold cooked eggs or macaroni will make a good main dish. An omelet is always welcome and the housewife who keeps herself well supplied with eggs need not worry if she knows how to prepare a fluffy, tasty omelet. A half a cupful of rice may be browned in a little butter, then water added to cook it, and when tender strir in two or three eggs with a little milk or cream with seasonings. This will taste like scrambled eggs with use of half the number. For dessert one may always call upon the preserve closet, and with a cracker or small sponge cake or piece of fruit cake with a hot drink, the dessert is easy. If a stale cake is in one's possession, steam it and make a sauce of a cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of flour well blended, and just enough boiling water to cook the mixture until smooth, then add a nice lump of butter, a grating of nutmeg, and a tablespoonful or two of good vinegar, with a pinch of salt. Serve the sauce hot as well as the steamed cake. Another quick dessert is called "Fifteen Minute Pudding," and is one every housewife should know how to prepare. Take a cupful of flour, sifted with a teaspoonful of baking powder, a little salt and a cup of milk. Put into greased cups with a layer of any juicy fruit like cherries in between the spoonfuls of batter. Steam 15 minutes in a dish of boiling water. Serve with cream.

Bring to the boiling point and let simmer 45 minutes, then rub through a sieve and add a cupful of milk. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two of flour and stir until well blended, then pour on gradually while stirring constantly the boiling hot stock. Add a cupful of thin cream or a beaten egg with a cupful of milk. Season well with salt and pepper and serve piping hot. Oatmeal Scrapple.—Boil two pounds of flank steak until tender, put it through a meat grinder. To the liquor of the beef add a pint of oatmeal, boil for half an hour, then mix with the meat, season with pepper and salt, and mold in a bread pan. Fry the slices in hot fat until deep brown. Prune Ice Cream.—Soak a cupful of prunes in water to cover overnight. Cook in the same water until tender, remove the stones and put the pulp through a strainer. Add a cupful of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and $1\frac{1}{4}$ cupfuls of cream. Freeze and serve garnished with nut meats. The juice of two oranges may be used in place of the lemons, making a pleasing variety. Creamed Sardines.—Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter, add one-fourth of a cupful of soft bread crumbs, add one cupful of cream and bring to the boiling point; add one box of sardines, two cooked eggs finely chopped, one-half teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of paprika. Reheat and serve on narrow strips of buttered toast. Doughnuts that have become dry may be dipped in cold water and reheated in the oven, making them quite palatable.

The Germans have tried many unsuccessful expedients to catch progressive Father Time and force him back into his medieval trappings, which they believe to be still in fashion.

The combination of light green found in the cucumber, and the rich red of the ripe tomato makes a salad most alluring. Small tomatoes may be peeled and cut in the form of a tulip with a bit of yellow mayonnaise for the center; placed on head lettuce, they look a salad most alluring. Small tomatoes may be peeled and cut in the form of a tulip with a bit of yellow mayonnaise for the center; placed on head lettuce, they look like a flower. A pretty way to serve cucumber is to peel it, then pare in rounds as one does an apple, keeping the pieces as long as possible. Wind in rose shape, place a spoonful of mayonnaise in the center and if placed on lettuce or a slice of tomato will prove both pleasing to the eye and the palate. Chopped cucumber with onion used as a filling for tomato cups, the filling mixed with a good boiled dressing or any kind of oil dressing, is another good combination well liked. Green Pepper With Cheese.—Cut green peppers in halves, removing the seeds and white pulp, then fill with highly seasoned cream cheese which has been softened with cream; a few chopped chives may be added. The peppers are set away to chill, and when ready to serve cut them in slices. The slice will have a ring of the pretty green or red of the pepper around the cheese. Tomato and Pineapple Salad.—Peel shapey small tomatoes and cut in eighths, keeping it together at the blossom end. Open out like a flower and fill the center with chopped pineapple and celery and dot with a spoonful of yellow mayonnaise just before serving. Slices of radish with slices of onion of the same size in overlapping slices make a pretty garnish for a plain lettuce or head lettuce salad. Head Lettuce With Peanuts—Take a half cupful of nice fresh peanuts, roll with the rolling pin until crushed like crumbs. Sprinkle these over head lettuce that has been dressed with a highly seasoned French dressing with a tablespoonful of onion added to it. She dresses aye sae clean and neat, Baith decent and genteel. And then there's something in her gait Makes ony dress look weel. —Burns. GOOD THINGS TO TRY. Pastry may be made by using barley flour without any wheat flour. Pro- ceed as with any pastry. The mixture will be a little more difficult to handle, but it makes very good pastry. Baking powder biscuit may also be made, using barley flour pastry. The mixture will be a little more difficult to handle, but it makes very good pastry. Baking powder biscuit may also be made, using barley flour exclusively, with a little larger proportion of baking powder. Molasses Cookies—Take a half-cupful each of sugar, molasses and vegetable fat, melt and mix together; cool; add one cupful of sour or butter milk, one and three-fourths cupfuls of flour, one cupful of barley flour, a teaspoonful each of soda, baking powder, ginger, allspice, cloves and salt. Mix well and set in the ice box until stiff and cold. Roll out quickly and cut before the mixture becomes too soft to handle. Camp Pudding—Put a pint of stale bread crumbs with a pint of milk in a saucepan to crush for half an hour; add a half-cupful of honey, one egg well beaten, a few gratings of nutmeg; mix well and bake until the pudding is set in the center. Serve hot with honey or maple sirup. Oatmeal Sweetbits—Cream one cupful of sugar with a teaspoonful of fat; add the yolks of two eggs well beaten, two and one-half cupfuls of rolled oats mixed with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and when well blended fold in the well-beaten whites of the eggs with a teaspoonful of vanilla. Drop on a baking sheet with a teaspoon and bake in a slow oven, allowing plenty of room for the cakes to spread. Potato Coffee Cake—Take two cupfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls of fat, one-third of a cupful of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt, a fourth of a cupful of skim milk, a half yeast cake and cinnamon or grated lemon peel for flavoring.

HERE ARE HINTS TO KEEP FINISH FAILURE TO WASH PROPERLY Varnish of New Car Is Hardened and Benefited by Frequent Washing With Clear Cool Water— Garage Gases Harmful. You can abuse the engine pretty consistently before it begins to complain. You can abuse the finish once or twice, and then you have no finish to abuse. The appearance of the car and the appearance of the finish are one and the same thing, and appearance goes a long way toward determining the value of a house, a horse or an automobile. The lack of washing and failure to wash properly will do more toward ruining the appearance of the car than any other thing. The varnish of the new car is hardened and benefited by frequent washing with clear cool water. Mud, allowed to dry or freeze on the car, takes up all the oil from the varnish and leaves the finish streaked and spotted. Dirt is not the only enemy, for garage gases and even the atmosphere of some cities attacks the finish of the car which is not frequently washed. Examine Other Fellow's Car. Before you turn your car over to a garage for regular washing, examine the other fellow's car, and see what they are doing to it, and once you find a man who knows how to care for the car properly let him wash it every time it needs it. A single washing, done carelessly, will destroy the luster that careful washing has preserved for months. Start in by cleaning the top. Give it a good stiff brushing to remove the loose dust and then either sponge it or use a soft brush with clear tepid water and castile soap. Go over the leather uphostery with a woolen cloth dipped in clear water to which has been added a few drops of ammonia. If the upholstery is of cloth it can best be cleaned by sponging with water containing a little salt and alcohol. Now you are ready to use the hose. Be sure to remove the nozzle and flow the water over every part of the body. This serves to wash off as much of the dust as is possible and to loosen the mud, or ice, or snow, so that with a little patience it can be floated off. In cases where the car is exceptionally dirty it is well to let it stand 15 minutes and then shower it again. Take a soft, clean sponge and, following it with a gentle stream from the hose, go lightly over the body. Special Brushes Needed. Grease and road oil collect on the chassis and their removal requires more vigorous treatment and separate tools. Special brushes will greatly facilitate work in inaccessible corners. The caustic action of an alkali soap is necessary for the removal of grease on the chassis, but even when used here it is advisable to employ it in the form of a soap solution made by dissolving a pound of soap in a gallon of warm water. The soap is, of course, rinsed off, and a hard stream may be used in the chassis to advantage, but it should not be directed against the wheel hubs, for dirt may be washed in and reach the bearings. Farmer and the Auto Like business and professional men, farmers are placing greater and greater demands on motor cars. As a utility the automobile will continue to grow in use because of the convenience it brings and because of the great economy of time and labor it makes possible. AUTOMOBILE DON'TS Don't put oil in the engine without first making sure that it is free from dirt and lint. Don't race the engine when it is not drawing the car. There is no worse abuse. Don't neglect to keep the radiator filled with water. Also use a good anti-freeze solution in cold weather. Don't fail to inspect the level of liquid in the storage battery every two weeks. Don't drive with your feet on the clutch or brake pedals. Don't let your car stand with headlights full on. It is unnecessary and it runs your battery down. Don't drive fast on slippery streets. Don't drive with fully retarded spark. Don't start motor with wide-open throttle or advanced spark. Don't neglect the lubrication of your car. TOOL REMOVES COTTER PINS Implement Can Be Made From an Old File or Similar Article—Operation is Easy. The tool shown here can be made from an old file or similar tool. By lightly tapping the head of the tool with a hammer, as shown in illustra- WIRE tion, the outer pin is started, says the Stewart Lever. The tool is then reversed and the pin drawn out by means of the hook. HEADLIGHTS IN GOOD FOCUS Some Light Up Road More on Sides Than Center—Plan Given for Best Adjustment. Are your headlights in proper focus? If not, you are not getting the best use from them. Some light up the sides of the road more than the center, and some light the road too far ahead. Point your car directly at a white wall 30 or 40 feet away and adjust the bulb of one lamp so that there is no black spot in the center of light. Then adjust the other lamp to light up the sides of the road. TRAINING MEN FOR SERVICE School Opened to Provide Technically Trained Drivers—Every Man Will Be Paid. To provide technically trained men in the automobile industry, especially for automobile service stations throughout the country, a well-known motor car company is opening a technical service training school, open to men who have not had any automobile experience. Every man accepted for the school will be paid while being taught. SOCKET WRENCHES ARE BEST They Save Time and Keep Nuts and Bolts in Good Condition—Don't Round Off Edges. The man who buys a box of socket wrenches is making a good investment. They save time and keep nuts and bolts in good condition, since they fit perfectly and do not round off the edges. Open-end wrenches are next best. If you must use a monkey wrench, set it up carefully and avoid rounding off the nut corners as much as possible.

The best profits are made only when a dry, sanitary, comfortable and convenient hog house is provided. It is a mistake to think a hog does not need to be protected from the weather. Having been originally a native of warmer climates, nature has not provided a pig with much in the way of protective covering. He has no thick coat of hair or wool or feathers like other farm animals to protect THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM hin from the cold weather, or from type of construction permits of this being sunburnt in the hot sun. with comparative ease and safety. A So a warm house is needed in the winter, especially for the brood sows, and shade must be provided for summer. Moreover, it is recognized that the best way to keep swine healthy and guard against the ravages of disease is to provide sanitary conditions—a hog house that is well lighted and ventilated and with a smooth, impervious floor that can be easily cleaned. These considerations, plus that of the labor that is saved in feeding and caring for hogs in a well-planned building, have made country builders pay a good deal of attention to this class of work, and farmers are more and more putting up big modern hog houses. Advantages Are Numérous. The advantages of the community house as compared with the movable are numerous. The time and labor required are less because: (1) Facilities for warming, feeding, watering, dipping, ringing, castrating, marking, breeding, weighing and administering medicines are more convenient because they are under one roof.

(3) The artificial exercising of young pigs that are subject to thumps and kindred troubles is easily done in the community hog-house alley, a number of litters being driven at the same time, this being in marked contrast to the more individualized effort necessarily practiced in the movable isolated house system. (4) Ventilation is more readily controlled because but two or three, hardly more, ventilators within close range need to be visited.

(7) With all the sows under one cover during the farrowing season, the efficiency of a unit of labor is increased. (8) There is no moving of a number of houses to take one's time. (9) The repairs and maintenance are more easily kept up in one big house on a permanent foundation, and within relatively easy reach (near the farmstead buildings), than a number of small houses with somewhat unstable underfootings, and generally widely scattered. Those who use the community hog house appreciate its convenience. Permanent Ads to Value. The permanent house has its evident advantages. Its years of service may be increased; it permits of masonry construction, so substantial and fireproof; its floor is practically unmovable; built in to stay; it has a solid foundation, absent in the movable type, all making for a greater substantiality. Heavy winds, soaking rains, driving hail, deep snows and extreme temperatures are more easily withstood in that the structure is naturally tighter and better built generally. The havoc-wrecking tornado is not so likely to tear the masonry, or even the wooden community permanent house from its foundation and supports as in the case of the more movable type of structure. The direct sunshine is usually more practically secured in the large house because of the better natural advantages of greater height, wider and longer dimensions, and bigger roof. Greater provision can also be made for indirect lighting, inasmuch as the THE MILL type of construction permits of this with comparative ease and safety. At best it is more difficult, because of the extra manipulation of doors and windows, to flood the small house with as much light in proportion to the interior as in the more ideal community type exemplified in the accompanying design. These plans show a community hog house containing 12 pens and a large feed room. It is of the half-monitor or saw-tooth roof type to face south. The details of this building itself are exceptionally well handled, and the two concrete yards inclosed with monolithic concrete fences are quite striking feature. Movable fence panels of woven wire or of wool can be thrown across from building to fence at several points to separate any pens or group of pens.

Hearing and seeing became more important and were sharpened to take the place of the dying olfactory talents. Doctor Jones says that despite the poor condition of our noses as gatherers of information, the smelling sense "still shows a subtle power as a memory sense." Dudley Kidd has noted this feature in investigating the psychology of Kafir children. When Kafirs are questioned as to their earliest remembered impressions they usually state that these were connected with the senses of taste and smell. The next things they remember are connected with the sense of color; then impressions of sound and of form follow last of all.—Chicago Herald. --- LP ‘THE TWIN CITY STAR Hy )PUBLSHED EVERY FRIDAY BY ° CHARLES SUMNER SMITH, ‘Minneapolis, ‘Minnesota. | Bntered in the Post Office at Min- ‘peapolis as second class matter.

Now that the candidates for of ‘fice are entering the race in the com- ing primaries, and The Twin City Star has always taken an active part in discussing the political situation ‘and presenting the issues of the cam paign; it will try to maintain its for- mer policies of giving a fair expres- aion of the attitude of all office-seek ers, 80 far as the Negro is concerned. It oes 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 ad. vantage of the columns under “paid advertisements.” The Twin City Star intends to ex. pose any candidate whose record has been against the Negro. Its editor has 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 indt- vidual or party, and has stood, at all times, for the political recogni. ton of Negro voters. The Twin City Star is a paper with a worthy pur. pose, recognized by its readers as @ reliable source of information, an Intelligent and fearless advocate for ‘equal rights for all men, We have never known two injus- tices to make anything right. The Saturday News has prospered .by be Ing as just to the white man as it has ever been to the Negro. We have never gone off half-cocked 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 of wrong. We ant 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 col- pred newspapers, without making any Investigation whatsoever as to the evidence, would have’ the entire Ne gro race do {dentically what they con- demn the white people for doing. Be tause the white people do wrong is no reason why the Negroes should flo wrong. The best preparedness to receive justice is to be Just yourself. —Hopkingville (Ky.) Nows. ‘The Role Of The Social Worker. ‘Never, perhaps, has the position of the social service worker, profession- AL and .c.uwen', been go strategic as now. The war has made unprece- dented demands upon this group, de- mands beyond all proportion to the umber prepared to meet them. Gov- ernmental agencies, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A, and a host of other organ- izations have drawn their services and are making insistent demands for more. ‘To a large extent the social work. r—and the definition has a wide scope—is being called upon to answer most perplexing questions: what chall be done with the crippled soldiers; how shall the increase in juvenile , be met; what methods be used to Americanize the for- tign born? These questions might be ‘multiplied indefinitely. Much of the progress and forward trend of the next few years will rest ‘In the fiands of the social workers backed by the intelligent conviction of ‘the community. READ THIS CAREFULLY?

Francis Condemns Wrongs Against Negro Americans This country and its European ab Hes are engaged in a titanic struggle to make the world safe for democ racp. Thousands of black boys have been called from their homes in the South to the training comps to pre (pare 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 seperate Negro waiting rooms to board Jim Crow cars, and.as they whirl thru the state of Tennesse 1 fancy 1 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, | beleive 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 unt form of the American Army, and as they passed along the streets of Hous- ton 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 im the great city ot 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 Ameri- can 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, démanded 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 pres- sure brought to bear upon municipal, city and government officials it was determined that one battalion, 600 Negroes, should be in the line, pro- vided, 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 Ne- groes in the wars in which this country has been engaged furnishes some of the brightest pages of Amer- ican 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 sol- diers, and no man will die with a brighter smile on his face in sacri- ficing his life for the principles of de- mocracy 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 destroy- ed from the earth. ATTY. W. T. FRANCIS, It is a good thing for;more of our people to apply for some of the pa- trlotie positions open to them, then we would not have so many com- plaints about “not boing wanted"— instead, we find them ready to take advantage of any effort made by others to advance the race, to ‘secure money or position for themselves. City Work for Negro Lakerers, ‘There is a great opportunity for Negroes to secure employment al street laborers by applying to the Civil Service Commiesion in the City Hall. Wages about $3.00 per day. ‘The Star has been informed that sev- eral crews are needed in asphalt and paving work.

Roswell T. Pettit. ‘ Details of the Halg retreat Imthe famous battle in Picardy, are most interestingly told by First Lieutenant Roswell T. Pettit, M. O-R. C., of Ot- tawa, Ill, in m letter to his father, Dr. J. W. Pettit of the Ottawa tuber- culosis colony and published in the Chicago Tribune. The American off- cer endured nine days of the horrors and was in the thickest of the fighting during the retreat of the British Fifth army from St. Quentin. Ideutenant Pettitis report of the battle thrills, and the stress of the great conflict are given before his Impressions had in any way been dfilled by time, written im- mediately after his experience. His letter follows: Lieutenant Pettit’s Letter. ‘March 30. Dear Father: Now that the show Is over for me for the time being, and I have time to breathe and sleep and eat and write, I'l try and tell you about the battle. Before you receive this you will have had the whole story from the papers, but I know you will be interested In knowing what I did in the affair. Of course, the things I saw were but an iffinitesimal part of a gigantic whole and It would be impossible for me to give a correct description of the battle. And as I write this, I do It with no knowledge whatever of what has been going on even a few miles from me. T have not seen a paper in eight days; I have received.no mafl,and the only information we have recelved has been by word of mouth, and most of what we hear must be wild rumors. For ex- ample: The French have advanced 20 miles at Verdun, the Ameri- cans have taken Ostend, and are on their way to Zeebrugge, and a great naval battle has been fought In the North sea. All Tknow is that on this part of the front the Germans attaeked us in over- whelming numbers, in places ten divi- sions to our one; that they suffered terrible losses, but finally broke through our lines of defense, one after another, and fighting for the most part, a rear guard action, we have- retired about 15 miles in a straight line. For a week before the battle started we had been oxpecting it; we were ready to move on 30 minutes’ no- tice. I had been out with combatant ‘as well as medical officers on tours of reconnaissance, definite methods of evacuation of the wounded ‘had been worked out, and our plans of counter- attack been made. After four or five days of waiting, the storm finally broke. ‘The Boche opened up on us at 5 a. m., March 21, with the heaviest barrage I have ever heard, .“Stand to,” was sounded, we turned out dressed, and had all our equipment packed in 80 minutes. ‘Then we sat down and waited for order’ to move. The bar- rage kept up continuously, sometimes heavier and then of less intensity, sometimes it seemed to be to the north of us and then suddenly it switched to the south. Our balloons were up as soon as It was light and the airplanes were buz- zing over our heads. The ground mist gradually cleared and the Germans put a hail of shrapnel on our camp and we all took cover, but three men were hit. Why it is a fellow always feels safer with a roof over his head, even If he knows bullets and shrapne! and pieces of shell will go through boards and corrugated fron Just like paper. Ordered to Move. Our orders to move finally came and we marched off to the brigade assem- bly point several miles away, This as. sembly point was in a little bunch of trees about the size of Ailen park and behind and separated from a. larger wood in front, In the larger wood there was a battery of heavy artillery and shells were dropping in there two or three to a minute, and It was heavy stuff, too. Sometimes they overshot .the big wood and shells were landing In the open around the little wood where ms brigade had its assembly point. A: we approached our little copse we could make all this out from some dis tance away and it wasn't a pleasant sensation to feel that we were march ing straight into it. ‘All the battalions arrived and in that little copse there must have been ai least two thousand men, What chance if the Germans onty knew! Bu the shells continued to drop in front o' us and on elther side, but none lande¢ ‘among us, and after waiting there fo1 Re ‘The typical Russian congregation, worships, ‘with a ‘reverence and devo- tion which might well shame some western congregations. There are none of the,laughing and talking before and after the service, none of the smiling ‘and whispering during the singing of hymns, which so painfully characterize restless and talkative Americans, The Russlan quietly and reverently enters his chorch, patiently stands throug? a service whose length 1s often pro- ‘tracted to two or three hours, und Taree nours, expecting to be Diown to bits any second, we finally moved for- ward. Just as we left the copse, from behind us, up over a ridge, came a stream of galloping horses. “It’s the cavalry,” someone shouted, but soon I made out lmbers and field guns, ‘They galloped past us, going like mad, took up a position to our right, swung into position, unlimbered, and In two minutes were blazing away. It was a thrilling sight. Torn by Shella, In going forward we went around the end of the larger wood in front of ‘us, over ground that was torn to bits by the heavy shell fire that had just Preceded, over another edge, across a wvalley, and under the crest of a hill. And here we found the tanks going over the top of the hill to take up their position. At this point we were still about’a mile from the front line. At this place I opened up an ald post under the crest of the hill to take care of what wounded came in while we were getting into position. I looked back mergss the valley we had Just traversed. Shrapnel was bursting in the alr, shells were whizzing overhead, and our guns behind me were belching forth the fire. ‘The noise was deafening. A railroad ran through the valley and an engine pulling a couple of flat ‘cars was going by. A couple of sol- diers, were sitting on the rear truck swinging their feet. A shell burst on the track and only missed the last car about fifteen yards. Neither man was hit and the train went blithely on. By this time it was getting along toward evening, the sun was sinking in the west, and finally went down a great ball of fire, At the time, I re- member, I noticed Its color. It was blood red and had a sinister look. Was it my imagination, or might it have been a premonition? At any rate, I shall never forget the color of the sun as it set that night at the end of the first day of probably one of the great- est battles in history. It certainly didn’t look good to me. ‘The drumming of the guns contin- ued, twilight gradually deepened into night, the signalers stopped their wig- wagging and took up their flash sig- nals, a fog dropped down on us and put the lights out of business, and when we left to go forward under the cover of darkness they were busy put- ting out their telephone lines—signal- ers and runners don’t have an easy time. > Shell Dump Goes Up. Behind us a shell Janded in an am- munition dump and it went up with a roar; then the rifle ammunition started going off like a great bunch of fire- crackers, and great tongues of flame lit up tife sky. Tt is reported that the Germans had broken through our line and we were to counter-attack in the morning. We got into positions without a single casualty. I opened an aid post in an old dugout and settled down to sleep until morning. You may think it fun- ny that one could sleep under such conditions, but I had been up since 5:30, md tramped about six or seven miles, hdd had a rather trying day and was dog tired. So I settled down on the rough plank floor and was soon asleep. I must have been asleep a couple of hours when a runner came from heudquar- ters and told us we were to move off immediately. I looked at my watch and it was 1:30 a-‘m. on the second day. We went back to the railroad, fol- lowed it around to a position some six miles to the north of us, landing there about 4 in the morning and flopped down on the floor of some abandoned huts to wait further orders. Our or- ders came along about 9 o'clock. We marched up actoss the open prairie, the sun shining, and it was yeally hot. Just like some of the warm days we get the last of March at home. In ‘going forward it was necessary for us to march seventy-five yards in ‘front of three batteries of field guns. There are six guns to a battery. Thiey ghoot an elghteen-pound shell and while we were there each gun was ‘shooting twice to the minute. You can imagine the racket when I tell you that the discharge of one gun can be heard about four miles. In addi- tion the Boche was trying to knock out this battery and he was dropping his six inch shells a little too close for \comfort. Nearly in a Trap. Then“I made a lovely mistake. 1 was to establish an aid post near bat- talion headquarters and went blithely on when I met a company commander and asked him where to go. “Back there about) a quarter of mile,” he replied. “This is the front center company. If you keep on tr the direction you are going you are going up over that ridge and Fritz will be waiting for you with a machine though he may not understand every ‘part of the-elaborate ritual, he gives ft his unwavering attention. —Ex- ‘change. | Has Coat of Elk Teeth. ‘Those who are in a position to know say $3 Is a fair average price for an elk tooth, such ax are sold to mem- bers of the order of the Elkg, ac- cording to Popular Science .Monffily.

What did they know or care abéut all this noise and racket and men getting up in line and killing each other? Along about three o'clock things be- gan to liven up again. In the mean- time headquarters had, been establish ed in a sunken road with banks about fifteen feet high on either side (lever this cut was half filled with dead). ‘My aid post was In a dngout near by and gradually things got hatter and hotter. Our men had dug themselves in and were popping away with their rifles. ‘he field batteries behind us were putting up a barrage, airplanes were circling overhead, both ours and the Germans’. The Germans put up a counter-barrage, the machine guns were going like mad. I was standing with the colonel on a little rise of ground above the sunken road when the Germans broke through about a mile to the north of us. They could be plainly seen pouring over the ridge in close formation, Tanks Get ‘Into Action. ‘Then the tanks came up, and you should have seen them run! Just like rabbits!’ ‘The tanks retired; the Boches reformed and came at it again, They tell me that at certain Places our men withstood fifteen suc- cessive attacks and that the Germans went down in thousands. One Welsh- man told me that his gun accounted for 7% in three minutes during one wave. Machine-gun bullets were nipping around me, the shell fire was getting hotter, and even though it was a won- derful sight to watch I decided “dls. cretion was the better part of valor,” or something like that, and got down in my dugout. I was sitting there smoking a cig- arette when my orderly came down and said I was being relieved and was to go back and work with the ambu lance. Fifteen hours later the mar that relieved me was captured. But 1 am getting ahead of my story. I went back to the advanced dress- ing station through the hottest shell fire I ever experienced. More than once I went down on my face when a shell burst and the pleces went whiz- zing over my head, I spent the night in a mined village where the advanced dressing station was located, and all night they shelled it to blazes. It was remarkable how few casualties’ we had. About eleven o'clock the morning of the third day a shell blew in the side of our post, but luckily no on® was hurt. We stuck to it until about four in the afternoon, when we saw out men retiring over a ridge in front of us, keeping up a continuous machine gun and rifle fire, and we beat It back to another village and opened anoth- er post. The Begrimed Lord. About ten o'clock on the morning o! the fourth day Lord Thyme, my col: onel when I was with the battalion stumbled into the shack where I was sitting. He looked like a ghost. He had lost his hat, his face was covered with a four days’ beard, the sweat had traced tracks in the dust from his forehead to his chin, His sleeve was torn and bloody and he had g gash in his arm where he had been struck by a plece of fiying shell case. “My God, doc, are you here?” he said. “You got out just in time. The battalion is all gone. The sunken road is filled with dead—mostly Huns damn 'em. The. line broke on the right; we were surrounded, and al the last we were fighting back and back. Only thirty of us got away.” So we knew the Boche had broker through to our right and our left, and it was a question of how long it would he before we, too, were surrounded but we wanted to stick it out as long as we couid. But not more thon an hour later a medical officer rusted in from one of the battalions and between gasps for breath told us the Germans were on the edge of the village, had shot hin through the sleeve with a machine gun bullet (luckily that was all), und for us to beat it. ‘The ninth day, sftting around the fire in our mess after the best dinner we had had in days, the commanding officer handed me some papers and said, “Here Is something that will In terest you, Pettit. I want to say we shall be sorry to lose you.” ‘And this is what it was: “Lieut Roswell T. Pettit, M. R. C., is relleve¢ from duty with the British army and will proceed to the A. H.

We Do Not Know What War Means MARINES FORM THEIR FAMOUS SLOGAN FIRST FEST. This remarkable photograph shows the words of their winning slogan formed by 800 marines in training for the battlefields. It took just seven minutes from the time the word of command was uttered until every man was in his place forming the slogan "First to Fight" in living letters. War Correspondent Declares Even Neutral Countries Feel It More Than We. MUST MAKE EVERY SACRIFICE To Win This War the American People Must Awaken to Full Realization of All It Means and All It Demands. Chicago.—"We do not know that we are at war. Five thousand miles away our troops are moving into battle. In a million American homes, the casuallists are watched with anxious eyes. Tears and anguish and heartbreaks are the price we must pay to write a headline of Victory," declared Oswald F. Schuette, for three years war correspondent of the Chicago News with the armies of the Central powers, in an address before the Press club of Chicago. "A year ago we unfurled the battle flags of the republic. We pledged ourselves to the greatest sacrifice this greatest of world wars might demand. The American people are ready to make that sacrifice. But so far we do not know over here what war really is. I have come out of three years in that inferno. All Europe is aflame. It knows it is in the war. Even neutral countries such as Switzerland feel it a hundredfold more than we. There economy and conservation is no longer a master of preachment, of voluntary sacrifice. It is a matter of enforced necessity, of grim compulsion. They are not saving food to feed someone else. They are saving because they have too little themselves. And in the warring countries, there is war in every breath. War is a tragic reality for them. They do not need flags in the streets to remind them of the war—and you see few flags over there. War portions out their mender rations. War is their cook. War allots the comforts of their daily life, and the proportions are small. Luxuries are gone. War stalks through their streets with the soldiers in uniform. War's shadow is behind the mothers who pray in the churches that their boys may be saved. "We hardly know these things. We GOVERNOR A KNITTER M. The chief executive of Arzona, Gov. George W. P. Hunt, knits for the soldiers of his state during his leisure time. The governor is very proficient with the needles and already has turned over several sweaters and other comforts for the use of the state's drafted men. Recently, while en route to Washington for a conference with President Wilson, he knitted a six-foot scarf for a boy in khaki. Woman Wins Rank of Chief Yoeman are revelling in luxury, and call it war economy. We think we are saving, yet I have seen more food wasted in the two weeks since I landed in New York than in the three years of my war experiences. "I do not say this as a complaint. I say it as a warning. We must learn quickly the great lessons of this war. For every day we wait now will cost us two later on. If we wait long enough, they will cost us weeks. To win this war, we must awaken to a full realization of all it means and all it demands. We must be in it, not one million strong, but one hundred millions strong. We must make economy not a fad or a principle, but a sacrifice. "Five weeks' ago, I was in General Pershing's headquarters in France, and saw our soldiers march out to unknown destinies in the trenches. Proudly they marched, knowing that they carried with them the hearts and the prayers of our great nation. Now it is up to us to show them that we are behind them. And we will do so. "Don't be misled by any false tale that our enemy is collapsing, that Germany is on the verge of revolution, that her army is ready to mutiny, that her people are starving. We have believed too many such reports in the year that has past. Germany is not Attains Highest Grade in Navy Open to One of Her Sex. HAS DONE EFFICIENT WORK Had an Important Part in Building Up Armed Guards' Organization—Now Keeps Records of This Service. Washington.—The encounters of American merchant vessels with German submarines constitute one of the most thrilling chapters of the war. When the president ordered our merchantmen armed for protection against undersea attack the navy was called upon to furnish hundreds of guns and thousands of trained gunners to man them. To perform this task a new branch of the service was organized—the "armed guards." Even before this country declared war they were on active duty, and the first man of the navy to lose his life in service against the enemy was a member of the armed guards, John I. Eopolucel, lost in the sinking of the Aztec April 1, 1917. One of the most efficient aids of Commander Farley in building up the armed guards organization was a young woman, Miss Helen E. Brooks, now confidential secretary to Lieutenant Commander Hall, who succeeded Commander Farley. Shares in Big Events. Miss Brooks has had a share in many of the most interesting incidents of the war. It was to her desk that the news came, of the sinking of the Aztec and the Vacuum. She received the account of the sinking of the first German submarine by the Silver Shell; of the long battle of the Morenl, which fought an enemy U-boat until almost the entire ship was in flames; of the four-hour fight of the J. L. Luckenbach which, though hit many times, refused to surrender. She made out the lists of the first men taken prisoner by Germany, members of the armed guard of the ill-fated Campana. She has transcribed many letters of commendation of men for heroic deeds, and many messages transmitting to relatives the sad news that a son, husband or brother has been killed or wounded. The names, ratings and addresses of next of kin of all the members of the armed guards are kept on cards, in a separate envelope for each vessel. The records of all those who lose their lives in the service of their country are kept in a special division. These constitute the navy's "roll of honor." Those who have been com- starving. She has been mighty hungry for three years. But Germany knows that she is in the war. GOVERNOR I One Egg In Three Weeks. "Shortly after the after the diplomatic relations a year ago, when I was still in Berlin for the Daily News, an American colleague, the Berlin representative of the Associated Press, contracted pneumonia. It was a critical case. The physicians said they could cure the pneumonia. But they said the patient would never recover. The Berlin food rations, they said, would not permit that. Patients such as he, they say, invariably died. That was the penalty of war. For it takes eggs and butter and milk and other unknown luxuries to bring a man back from the grave. At that time, the Berlin egg ration was about one every three weeks. Every three weeks, by the calendar, a coupon on the egg card would be validated to entitle the holder to purchase one egg from the grocer with whom his name had been registered. Often the groceries did not have eggs enough to fill even this scanty order. But we sent out an appeal to every available American to help. We mobilized every egg in the American colony in Berlin. We gathered all the butter we could find. We asked no questions when there seemed some doubt as to the strictness with which the "one egg every three weeks" regulation had been obeyed. But this patient had three delicious omelets a day for three weeks. No one else in all the Central powers, not the kaiser nor Hindenburg, had revealed in any such luxury of eggs in three years of war. But it saved his life. It was the mobilization of the eggs, not the physicians, that did it." mended for heroic deeds also have a special place—and there are hundreds of them already, though we have been at war less than a year. The department seeks to secure and keep on file photographs of all the men of the navy killed in service against the enemy, and those specially commended. Miss Brooks has had a hand in building up these measures to perpetuate the memory of the navy's heroes and preserve interesting and authentic material for history. Won Rapid Promotion. Enlisting in the naval reserve in April, 1917, as a yeoman, third class, Miss Brooks has already risen to the highest rank open to women in the navy, that of chief yeoman. As secretary to Lieutenant Commander Hall she superintends the work of two yeoman stenographers and a mail clerk, Mary Chief Yeoman Brooks. all three of them men. Like all the other women yeomen, she is regularly enlisted in the navy—enlisted for the term of the war. At first they were commonly termed "yeowomen" and "yeomanettes," but these nicknames are frowned upon by naval officials, whose attitude has been well expressed by Rear Admiral McGowan, paymaster general of the navy: "They must not be called 'yeowomen' or 'yeomanettes.' These women are as much a part of the navy as the men who have enlisted. They do the same work and receive the same pay as men of the same rating. They are yeomen, and have done yeoman service in the immensely increased work imposed upon the navy by the war." Maine Miller Probably Only Man in Country Not Affected by Change. Kennebunkport, Me.—James D. Perkins, proprietor of a tidewater mill, is probably the only man in this country whose hours of labor were not affected by the new daylight saving plan. The mill, located on the Meusam river, is operated by the tide. When it is full, Mr. Perkins closes gates and confines the water to a reservoir. As the tide ebbs he opens the gates to allow the water to escape into a sluiceway. As the tide is about an hour later each day, Mr. Perkins cares nothing for clocks or the sun, or any other daylight saving plans. He is following the tide schedule, as he has for mahy years.

Undersea Craft Unable to Dive Before Missiles Are Dropped—One Destroyed in Act of Attack on Merchantman. London.—Details concerning the destruction recently of ten German submarines by naval aircraft, eight by seaplanes and the others by dirigibles, have been obtained by the Associated Press from admiralty reports. The first case is described as follows: "While on patrol in the English channel a seaplane sighted a submarine eight miles away, directly in the path of an oncoming convoy of merchant ships. The seaplane dived at 90 miles an hour. The submarine attempted to escape by submerging, but was just awash as the seaplane reached a bombing position and released two bombs, one of which exploded on the conning tower. The seaplane dropped, two more bombs into the midst of the bubbles from the collapsed submarine, which was of the largest type, carrying two guns." The second case: "At dawn a seaplane sighted a large submarine on the surface, with a member of the crew standing by the gun. The seaplane dropped a bomb on the tail of the U-boat and afterward photographed the sinking submarine, with a big hole in its deck. A second bomb was dropped close to the submarine's bow, and the U-boat collapsed." Catches U-Boat on Surface. The third case: "Two seaplanes attacked a large submarine traveling on the surface at 14 knots, with two men in the conning tower. A bomb was exploded close to the conning tower, and the submarine began to sink stern first. A bomb from a second seaplane completed the work." The fourth case: "Three, patrol planes sighted a large submarine as it was submerging, and dropped two bombs close to the conning tower, causing the submarine to turn turtle and disappear in a mass of oil and wreckage." The fifth case: "A seaplane sighted two submarines close to the surface and dropped two bombs. One bomb was ineffective, and the other hit the deck fairly amidships. The submarine was hidden by the smoke of the explosion, and when the smoke cleared the U-boat was sinking, with both ends in the air." The sixth case: "A seaplanet saw the track of a torpedo fired at a merchantman. It dived toward the surface and sighted the black shade of the submarine well below the surface. It dropped two bombs, which both ex- Are Doing Efficient Service in Great Britain. Annual Report of Inspector Praises Work in Combating Evils of War. London—The success of women on the police force is amply demonstrated in the annual report of Sir Leonard Dunning, H. M. Inspector of constabulary, just published. Seven counties and 24 cities and boroughs have women "on the strength," and "their introduction into professional police work," says Sir Leonard, "may well help authorities to combat evils which have presented increasing difficulties to them for years past." While most of the women are engaged in clerical work, others are given duties requiring the complete confidence of a woman or child, which ploded close to the submarine, resulting in a large quantity of oil, bubbles and wreckage." The seventh case: "Two seaplanes sighted a U-boat on the surface and dropped a bomb each. The first bomb caused a heavy list to the U-boat, which began to sink by the stern. The second bomb exploded in the center of the swirl, demolishing the U-boat." Oil Patch Shows Fate. The eighth case: "A seaplane dropped a bomb on a submarine just emerging and the U-boat disappeared with a heavy list to port. The pilot dropped a second bomb into the swirl and a few minutes later a patch of oil 150 feet long and 12 feet wide appeared on the surface." The ninth case: "A naval airship at midday sighted a suspicious patch of oil and circled it in an effort to ascertain the cause. Suddenly a periscope broke the surface in the midst of the oil. The airship dropped a bomb close to the periscope and a series of bubbles began appearing, indicating that the damaged submarine was moving slowly away under the water. Several more bombs were dropped in the path indicated until satisfactory evidence was obtained of the enemy's destruction." The tenth case: "An airship dropped two bombs over a submarine which was engaged in attacking merchantmen. Great patches of oil and bubbles indicated severe damage and trawlers made this complete by depth charges." COURT FREES MAN WHO WHIPPED A PRO-GERMAN Fond Du Lac, Wis.—Because John Fox asserted that he could place a German flag on his residence if he so desired he was given a beating by James Finnegan. Fox had Finnegan arrested, but the court declared that it could find no man guilty in an assault case provoked by any individual who talked favorably concerning the Teuton flag. BARRED FROM LAKE VESSELS Subjects of Germany and Austria Will Not Be Permitted on Them This Summer. Cleveland, O.—Federal officers here have issued an order prohibiting subjects of Germany and Austria from working or riding on lake vessels—either freight or passenger—this summer. Neither will they be permitted within 100 feet of a pler or dock where any vessel of 500 tons capacity is located. Waterproof pockets with water-tight fastenings for bathing attire have been invented by two New York men. a woman can win better than a man; the maintenance of public decorum among girls, supervision over female servants' registries, duties under the shop hours acts, food control orders and the like, and supervision over places of amusement catering for children. It is net, Sir Leonard hopes, suggested that women should be employed in the suppression of public order and the arrest of dangerous or violent criminals. With regard to the desirability of intrusting to them that part of the investigation of sexual crime which involves intimate conversation with the victim, the inspector declares that the police themselves were the first to recognize this, but until some years ago failed to find a woman of education who recognized this as a woman's work. Sir Leonard pays tribute to the fine work being done by the women police employed by the ministry of munitions, and refers also to the success of the efforts of the women patrols. He denies that the increase of offenses by juveniles and the decrease of personal chastity of girls are the American Prisoners In Germany Being Cared For. Food Sent Regularly Through International Red Cross in Switzerland. Washington.—Food is now being sent regularly to American prisoners in Germany by the American Red Cross through an arrangement with the international Red Cross in Switzerland. The American Red Cross office at Paris recently received a complete list of the 159 Americans then prisoners in Germany. The German government permits the Red Cross to send each man 20 pounds of food a week, in two packages of ten pounds each. This Red Cross service is being enlarged and a warehouse to hold food enough for 10,000 American prisoners already is under construction near Berne, Switzerland. It is estimated that at least 90 per cent of the food packages reach the men. Parents, wives and relatives of our soldiers and sailors will find in this particular Red Cross service the greatest satisfaction because they have dreaded German prison life for their loved ones perhaps more than death itself. The American prisoners will be permitted to write two letters and four post cards each month, and also to acknowledge the receipt of food packages. The Red Cross food package follows the army ration pretty closely, and frequently fresh white bread is included from the Red Cross bakery in Berne. This service is one more reason why the American people will respond generously to the next Red Cross war fund campaign, May 20-27, when another $100,000,000 to "carry on" will be asked.

Indianapolls, Ind.—Just because he looks to be twenty-five, but in fact is only twenty years old, Murphy Cutrer of Shreveport, Ln., has spent 202 days since June 5 last in jails on charges of being a draft slacker. Cutrer has just been released from his latest trouble after having been in the Marlon county jail 20 days. He was first ar- rested in Fredonia, Kan., and held for 20 days, then he spent 56 days in an- other jail on similar charges. In each case he was able to prove he lacked one day of being twenty-one on registration day.

For years past police reports have laid stress on the decay of parental control and the influence of parents with a true sense of their responsibilities does not seem likely to revive. Crime is showing an upward tendency —reduced street lighting, bigamy, concealment of birth and infanticide, the latter directly due to circumstances of the war contributing. "TWO BITS A DAY—THE PATRIOT'S WAY," WINNER Los Angeles, Cal.—"Two bits a day—the patriot's way," was the prize winning slogan in a contest conducted by a local bank. Five thousand patriot's participated in the contest.

It is particularly prevalent in the great Indian rhinoceros. Nobody knows how prevalent a disease can become in a rhinoceros, according @iraffe’s keeper carries a stepladder also, and the ostrich man‘carries a basket of thermometers. ‘Teddy and Louisa are doing as well as could be expected, but the great Indian rhinoceros is very low indeed. As soon as he was stricken Dick Richards ran out and got a dozen porous plasters to put on the small of his back, and when he returned the great Indian rhinoceros was lying flat on his back, denting the pillow with his horn and shaking the bullding with his breathing. It took Dick and a force of assistants with crowbars a good half hour to persuade the invalid to roll over, and when he did it took another fifteen minutes to discover where the simall of his back was. When the spot was found it was evident that the supply of porous plasters was inadequate. Dick ‘had to rush out and get a couple of dozen more, and while he was gone the rhinoceros rolled over on his back again. Yesterday, however, the plasters were in place, but Dick and the patient think there must be something wrong with them. They didn’t seem to draw right somehow. So Dick hustled out for some towels to dip in hot water to wrap his patient in. In the whole park he could find only three dozen towels, and the Jot of them scarcely would make a handkerchief for the great Indian rhinoceros, ‘The ever resourceful nurse obtained a dozen tablecloths, however, and succeeded in giving his patient the first Turkish bath he ever experienced. Dick hopes the tablecloths did the trick, but the great Indian rhineceros ‘undoubtedly is one of the sickest rhinoceroses that ever lay flat on its back and played that it was a steam plano. Draft Boards Find Ways to Deal With Slackers CR e Aho a majority of slackers have sought to evade military service by submitting sad stories of physical ailments or helpless depend- ents, more than a few classical excuses have been heard by local boards and ‘The youth did so. “Can you hear this?” asked the physician, In a low tone. No response. “Can you hea Mie how?” This was spoken In an ordinary voice. No response. “Now, put your hand over your left ear,” said the doctor, in a faint volve. ‘The order was promptly obeyed; the candidate “saw the light” and meekly submitted to the rest of the examination. A sweet young woman, employed in one of the Detroit draft board offices, caught several slackers who were clever enough to foil the medical examiners. One instance, which was reported by a member of the local board, concerned a young man who insisted he was deaf and who evaded the tests and tricks of the examiners. As he left the medical room the smile which the demure miss flashed at him caused him to forget war and home and country. “Were you accepted?” the young woman asked in a very low tone. “Naw; they turned me down, and gee, I wanted to——” “Don’t worry, my friend, we made a little ‘mistake and you're accepted,” eaid a drawling voice behind the slacker. i ‘The youth whirled and faced the medical officer. He blushed an@ stam: mered, but finally began to grin. “That's number six for me,” said the girl in the case. 6 ” 4 . Seem Unable to Get “Hang” of Daylight Saving BAL ORE.

Features of the menus are the breadless meals and “quick breads” (muffins, etc.) made from other grains to save wheat, and the use of meat substitutes and savory dishes which call for little meat. ‘The meals suggested are all simple and are planned to meet the needs of a family of four, consisting of two adults and two children.

She may cate for packages which otherwise might have to be carried from place to place. In some rest rooms the matron takes charge of the woman's exchange, which usually {s supervised by a committee from the women's clubs.

Yields per acre may be increased by better methods of tilling the ground and better methods of cultivat- {ng the crop. Any general advice as to better methods of tillage must be modified to meet specific conditions, ng methods found valuable in some local- Stles may be of less value or even detrl- mental.in other localities. As generat advice the following suggestions are valuable and properly applied will lead to Increased acre ylelds, Land Is‘ plowed In order to loosen tt ‘and enable water to enter In grenter quantity, be absorbed to greater depth, and remain longer tn the soll.

If not well plowed, some lands are 80 Impervious that during several weeks of rainy weather they remain ary below a depth of 5 or 10 inches. ‘When the soil ts loose to « sufficient depth, corn roots penetrate in abun- dance to a depth of 3 or 4 feet. ‘The growing of clover and deep- rooted plants s profitably practiced with most soils, and subsolling 1s prof- Itably practiced with some soils to in- crease their water-absorbing capacity and to enable the corn roots to use the soll to grenter depths, Large plows and plenty of power will facilitate this thorough prepara- tlon of the seed bed.. ‘On many heavy clay sotls the yleld of corn per acre depends largely upon the thoroughness of the plowing. It 1s necessary to loosen all the land ‘and leave no large alr spaces. To “cut and cover” Is not good practi¢e. Difference In Plowing. A pasture field was plowed in alter. nate strips by two men, one a careful plowman and the other a poor plow- man.

Hills of corn growing on hard spots or over large alr spaces usually produce poorly. ‘The most successful corn growers realize the importance of thorough early cultivations, which prevent any check in the growth of the plants due to weeds or crusted soll. From the time of germination to the maturing of the corn the farmer should see that the plants are not subjected to any Preventable unfavorable conditions, but are permitted to make a stendy vigorous growth. Use Weeders and Harrows, Horse weeders and harrows should be used when needed to brenk a sur- face crust, check insect depredations, or kill young weeds that start before the cotn ts up or large enough to be worked with other implements.

Ample Room for Expansion of Both “Production and Consumption— Beekeeping Should Be Ex. tended in Many Localities. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ‘ment of Agriculture.) With tlie present growing demand for sugar in the United States, It is {mportant that every possible means be employed on the farm to produce substitutes. One way by which this can be done is to keep bees and get a crop of honey, which can be used in many ways In place of sugar. The pro- duction of honey ip this country can be Increased without great effort. Not only should those who already keep bees incretse the number of their col- onies, but the industry should be ex- tended in localities where beekeeping. has not been tried on a commercial scale, ‘The average annual honey crop of the United States fs about 250,000,000 ponnds and Is sufficient to supply ench Re ota 2 sae Becta “DORR RG sa SERS i Sygate a anne ee tate USS ee I ee RGD Fong ay | est tie mareg ee tp an an PO ac iN ear eee a fee ON eS Bae ES pe a ue ae Spree 4 ae iy ag +b =F ie ENT ame 2 ae ERRNO NS WellArranged Apiary. man, woman and child with about 2% pounds a year, which Is equivalent to 8 per cent of the amount of sugar they consume in normal times. ‘Thus there {s ample room for expansion of both the production and consumption. ‘The present use of honey in the home usu- ally 1s as a substitute for Jellies, jams, and sirup. It fs little used In domestic cooking or baking, but this use should be increased. While honey within re- cent years has sold at prices sufficient- ly low to Justify its use as a substitute for sugar, it 1s rarely used In commer clal food manufacturing except In the making of certain cakes which must be kept motst for a considerable time. Usually, however, the supply of honey Is 80 inadequate that most of the erop can be used as a spread for bread. With the use Imited as it 1s, many people In the United States rarely eat honey, but it Is evident that there might be developed a ready sale for honey asa supplement to sugar, if production were increased many times. The amount of nectar secreted by the untold myriads of flowers, from which bees, make honey, ts large be- yond our comprehension. The total amount of sugar in the nectar greatly exceeds the amount of all sugar and other sweets consumed by the Ameri- ean people, Unfortunately, from the standpoint of man, this sugar cannot all be collected and utilized as human food, Even the honey bee, which ts 80 often used as an example of industry, consumes for its own food the larger part of all that It collects, Beekeeping Is, therefore, the mennis of saving for human use a small frac- tion of the vast store of sugar secreted. But the raw material ts free and its conservation costs only a small ex- penditure for equipment and relatively little in labor, and the honey crop could be increased 10 or even 20 times with- out Increasing the cost of production per pound to an appreciable degree. LIMESTONE FOR SOUR SOILS Farmers Have Been Too Slow In Ap Preciating Its Value—Alds Manure and Fertilizer. Ground limestone is the greatest known ald to bigger, better crops. Farmers have been far too slow t= appreciating {ts value. Only ten years ago, not more than a few hundred tons of lime were used in this country annually. At the present time the yearly tonnage has mounted up to the million-mark, but even this is too it- tle, by far. It has been sald that one acre im every three of arable Iand in this coun try is sour. Authorities claim that lime fs badly needed all over eastern Ohio. Nearly every acre of land im New England is in need of liming. Also the land of the Atlantic and Gulf coast plains, In Wisconsin, four-fifths of the land in the state needs it badly. Even in the heart of the corn belt, the richest land in the world, farmers are turning to the use of lime to grow big crops of corn and wheat. Every acre of sour land in the country badly needs and should have two to four tons of ground limestone applied. Surely if every farm in the gardes spot of America (the corn belt) finds it profitable to use lime, it will pay men in less favored sections of the country.

It s a war for human liberty, and that which restricts human liberty, not only in the German em- pire, but also in America and England and France and Italy and Russia must be abolished.

In a series of masterly state papers Mr. Wilson has announced to the world that America enters the war unselfish- ly, and has defined the true issue for all the peoples of the earth—éven for those deluded portions of the-Ger- man population which, because of a false system of education, have hith- erto upheld the hands of the worst enemies of liberty, the Junkers. Until quite recently, one of the most dis ‘quieting symptoms from the polnt of view of the allles was a discontent with, If not an actual opposition to, the ‘war of large elements among the work- Ing classes of the allled peoples. In Russia, where democracy was most cruelly suppressed, where conditions for the peasant and the workingman ‘were hardest, a revolution actually took place—a revolution that has ‘sounded the keynote of our times. The world service which our president Is doing js that of enlisting the alte glance of those masses for the war. He fs convincing them that It {s thetr war, And these are they upon whom the evils of an outword economic sys- tem have pressed hardest, and who hitherto have seen Nttle hope that vie- tory over the Germans meant thelr own deliverance, Mr. Wilson has is- sted a world proctamation of emancl- pation from economie slavery. Make Their Own Treaties. He not only declares that powerful ‘ations shall cease to explolt little na- tions, but that powerful “individuals shall cease to exploit their fellow men, He declares that henceforth no wars shall be: fought for domination, and that to this end secret treaties shall be abolished. ‘The peoples through their representatives shalt make their own treaties. And Just as national democracy insures to the individual the greatest amount of self-determina- tion, of self-realizatton, world democ- racy shalt insure self-determination to the Individuat nations. of the earth, in order that each may be free to make Its own contribution to world democ- racy.

And ‘we are equally determined that the in- justice and inequalities that exist in our own government, the false stand ards of worth, the materialism, the luxury and waste shall be purged from our midst. We shall seize this oppor- tunity to finish up the cleaning of our own household, To sustain dur army ‘and navy in the struggle for such a cause, to uphold our president, to ald our allies who have fought so long and so bravely, these are worthy’ of our sacrifices.
