Waste in Kitchen is Big.

We are continually reminded
of the need of conservation of
our national resources-forests,
mines, water powers and the like
and action in this direction is
highly desirable, if not even now
absolutely necessary. Given
sufficient time, the forests may
be increased, the water powers
extended from a few months to
the entire year and dying soils
revived. But there is yet more
important waste that is nation
wide, and is found where there
are neither forests, nor mines,
nor water powers. 1t exists in
every state and is growing all the
time, not only by reason of larg-
err population, but at an increas-
lug percentage as well.
This is the waste in the home
kitchen.
AS a nation we have practiced
extravaganza from childhood;
really natural and logical Sc
quence in land of apparently
inexaustlble resources, where
valuable hardwood trees we're
bur ned to clear the land for cul-
tivation which same land later
produced so beautifully that corn
was often used as fuel because
it was too cheap to sell. Those
days have passed, it is true
never to return again in the Unit
ed States. But the condition
named was only one of many, in
cident to the growth of this coun-
try; and however justifiable such
wastes may have been in their
day, and while not practiced at
the present time, they neverthe-
less contributed to the growth
of a spirit of reckful wasteful-
ness which has now prevailed all
classes. Even the most thrifty
I'm migrants, born and reared to

ported in the Evening Star, Walter
Rutt, the German, won the sprint
title, and Paul Guignard, the French
rider, won the paced title at the big

In the first semi-final of the sprint
championship, at 1000 meters Give

a half length over Emil Friol the
French sprinter, Stable, the German,

second semi-final saw Thorwald Ellie

Leon Hourlier, the classy French
Splinter, Ellegaards margin being
about a foot. Schumann, Germany,
was the third man in this semi. Andre
Perchicot, the Frenchman who paid
US visit last year, won the third
semi-final from Otto Meyer the Ger

the worlds title in 1905 at Antwerp.

BAILEY CAREFUL
OF HIS LAURELS
English Cyclist Is Taking Nc
Chances in Match With
WOhIrab.
PACED EVENT FOR "PROS"

Bill Bailey, the great English anna
teur rider, who is now sporting the
worlds championship crown, is a very
careful fellow. Although it was an
nounced at the Velodrome Wednesday
night that Bailey would ride Sunday
it was not absolutely certain, as the
English boy declared that he would
not start in race here until he was
sure that he was fit to ride in his
best form. The day of his arrival he
was stiff and as this was his first
long sea voyage he was uncertain
rs to how long 1t would be before
he would get rid of his sea-legs. After
two long workouts at the Velodrome
yesterday the champion said that he
would be fit by Sunday, and then the
management announced that the first
appearance of the Englishman would
be at the meet Sunday.
Bailey's opponent will be Gus Wohl-
rab, the stocky German boy from Jer-
ley City, who won the outlaw cham
pionship at the Motordrome. The race
will be a French style match at two
thirds of a mile, best two out of three
heats. Wohlrab, it is figured, will
make a good trial horse for the
champion, and there is not much
doubt about the outcome, Bailey be-
ing expected to win without great
amount of trouble. Wohlrab is a
pretty fair bike rider and at times
he shows u great flash of speed.
Wohlrab has been riding a number
of years and has won quite a few
races, but we have no recollection of
having ever seen him in u match race
and as a match race rider the local
they do about Bailey.
When Wohlrab learned that he was
to be Bailey's first opponent here he
was quite surprised. why did they
put me on with him first ques-
toned Gus. do they think I'm the
worst of the near-champions here?
Well" continued GLOOMY" Gus, 81
