Hard Tack Possesses
 Enduring Qualities

The decision of the Navy depart mont to discontinue the use of hard tack in the navy ana introduce in its stead bread containing butter and sugar was perhaps read by nobody with greater interest than by Iona than T. Buttriek. the eighty -year-old hardtaek baker of New Bedford, Mess. who supplied half a century ago the whaling feet with the stan of life.
 The most essential thing in baking hardtaek. according to an i1terview with Mir. Buttrick In the Boston Globe, is to drive every particle of moisture from it. This. he thinks, was only pos sible in the old WoOd-heated ovens, and he has, therefore. scarcely more regard for the hard bread of today than for the new navy recipe.
 It is Mir Buttrick's opinion that bread baked in the modern coal heated rotary ovens is a delusion and a snare. If there is any moisture in the hard bread 1t will grow moldy. the bread baked by MT Buttrick in the old days. he maintains, was almost in destrucuble Time could not wither or stale 1t if properly bareled.
 'I once baked some bread that was put in casks and was aboard a vessel for eight years. After the ship came home 1 gave a piece of hard bread to Edward Mott Robinson. the father of Hetty Green, and could not convince him it was not fresh baked" he said.
 And that is not the best story l can tell l baked some bread that went out on the bark Desdemona. When the vessel returned she was laid up in the dock at the foot of North street. A cssk Of bread was left in the hold The bark nodded at the dock for many years, and was event ually sold
 Fifteen years after that bread was baked the cask was opened. The bread was perfectly good, and was placed aboard a whaler bound for Hudson's hay. where it was finally eaten. The four of those days was particularly good, but it was the oven that was responsible for the quality of the bread. The modern oven cannot pro duce it.
 A half-century ago the baking of hard bread for the ships was a leading industry of New Bedford. Now there is only one bakery in that town that bakes some hard bread for the whal- ing feet. and some of it is baked else where.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The attack on stocks of the last few days was renewed with increased vigor. Prices erumbled away until the active stocks which had not already fallen to the low point of the year relinauished what remained of their recent gains and virtually the entire list of promin- ent issues sank below the low point of the August decline. The list of new records includes.

NATURE REPRODUCED IN coLoRs

The very interesting and instrucunG | reproduction in motion picture form of the ceremonies connected with the crowning of the present monarch oi the British Empire, which pleased dis 1 criminating audiences at the Shubert Masonic last week, has been held over for the current weeks attraction. The pictures shown are those Of the Kline n1acoIoT company of America, which has patented the process of reproduc- ing nature in colors in much the same manner in which sound-wayes are reg istered.
 The program for the week which was first shown at a matinee yester day afternoon varies in one or two places from the one given last week. The first new film is a motion picture ir natural colors Of the horse show at Richmond, an annual event, but which was given this year as one of the fes- tival features. English horse shows diff fer from our thoroughbred displays, in that they are held in the open and are ruled over in much the same manner as the horse show feature of our country fairs. There Master Horse is : a close associate of nobility, and even 1 though George himself is there, the . horse for the length of time he is ] showing off is by far the greater king. He is viewed in all sorts of ] classes, of which the hurdle events take first place for grace and perfect filr, recording. The rich coloring or the horse. his splendidiy developed !. muscles and his every movement look

To celebrate the twenty-seventh an. niversary of his birth a man, who answers to the rather unusual name of Peter Licollick gave a party at his home in stanton street Among the guests was a young man whose name quite familiar to all baseball fans, is Charles Thomas Raincheck. Thomas had such @ good time that before the evening had grown old, he imagined that he was running the whole show. The host called him down in a mild way, but Raincheok took it amiss and throwing his arms around Bicollick, he bit a piece out of the latter's check A doctor and a policeman arrived about the same time, after the excite ment had somewhat subsided. The off, cer of the law conducted Raincheck to the nearest police station. while the doctor patched up the chewed-up host.
