For twenty weeks Miss Loewus, a

that cost her $40 and has finished the
last of them. Here is her menu dur
ing that time:
Breakfast-One cup of tea, two slices
of stale bread toasted. spread with pea

Luncheon-TwO slices of stale bread

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS simplicity
has taken another long stride forward
Navy officers in natty white uniforms
will no longer be seen painfully and
nervously performing their duties in
machine shops and storehouses in
navy yards, where every move may
threaten to soil their spotlessness.
In the course of recent converse
ton with Colonel George W. Goethals,
chief engineer of the Panama canal,
when the latter was in Washington,
Secretary Daniels asked if it was not
irksome for the army officers on the
isthmus to wear white uniforms all the
time.
ut. surely is" replied Colonel Goe-
thals, land when a man is all the time
afraid he will get his clothes dirty he
is no good whatever for any kind of
work"
Acting on this philosophical sugges-
ton. Secretary Daniels when inspect
ing navy yards has asked the officers
on duty if they enjoyed being in their
uniforms while at work in the shops
and storehouses The unvarying an
swer has been that they would be very
glad to get rid of them. The secretary
then inquired what sort of clothes they
would like 10 wear while at work, and
every time the answer has been over
alls.
Officers like to show workmen how
to do things. But to take hold of
machine lathe or drill press and run
it when one is dressed in immaculate
white linen is expensive.
So Secretary Daniels issued an order
to commandments of navy yards to per-
NIT officers on duty under them to
wear civilian clothes while on duty.

[ believe we have inspectors enough,
if they will go out among the far
mers and call meetings and instruct
the farmer on how to detect blight

farmers are not interested enough
to help, why cut down the trees,

ground a year or two sooner than
to wait for the blight to kill trees,
