SEEK FOR BAGGAGE
ABANDONED ABROAD
Dr.. Losekam, Home From Vien-
ma, Tells of American Conn.,
missioners' Work.

Having about completed its task Of
returning to this country all Americans
in the war zones of Europe. the COM
mission. with Assistant Secretary of
War Breckenridge at its head. is now
directing its attention to the recovery
of personal baggage of Americans and
its transportation to its owners, ac-
cording to DR.. George Losekam, son of
the well-known restauranteur of tins
city. who has just returned from
Vienna.
Dr. Losekam had been in Austria's
capital for more than a year pursuing
his medical studies. He married an
Austrian woman. and. following the
services as a physician to the Austrian
government With the coming of As
sistant Secretary of War Breckenridge
and Major James Logan. of the Quar-
termaster's Corps. United States Army.
however. the most urgent representa-
tIons were made to all Americans to
leave Austria. and special trains We're
provided to Berlin and from there to
Rotterdam
The severity OF the censorship by the
English government especially I'M
pressed DR.. Iosekam. He attempted
to bring with him many German news
papers and photographs OF war scenes,
but at Folkstone his baggage was
searched and everything bearing upon
the war was confiscated by officers OF
the English army.
Throughout England greater precau-
tons are being taken than in Germany
according to DR.. Losekam. In London
the street illumination has been re-
duced to that barely necessary to per-
init the use OF the streets. Less than
one third OF the street lamps are light
ed and these hav" the tops painted
black to prevent their being visible to
aviators Great searchliEhts are con-
stanlty sweeping the skies for the

The olympic. on which he made the
trim from Liverpool. carried 1900 pieces
of baggage and nearly 1900 sacks of
mail The baggage was the first con-
signment forwarded by the American
commission. which Is being assisted by
the express companies throughout the
Continent.

PORTUGAL AND THE WAR.

There is no l.ck of surface evil
dence that, long before The present
war broke out, various countries had
pretty accurate information concern
ing the tentative plans of Germany.
thus Belgium a coup'. of years ago
took especially urgent measures to
establish its army on 4 war footing
and strengthen Is fort;lications. It
is explained that King Albert came
into possession of unpr.cstionable in
formation that the Germans planned
to violate Belgian neutrality when
ever war should come, and, further,
that Germany did not expect to wait
long fnr the occasion.

MONTICELLO.

Congressman Levy has offered to
sell Monticello, for mor@ than a half
century the home of Jefferson, to the
United States. He wants it main
tanned properly, as of course it would
he if the Government owned it.
The property ought to be taken
by the Government and preserved as
one of the too few national shrines.
Mt. Vernon, it is trusted, will not be
forgotten in this same connection.
With all proper consideration for the
services of the patriotic association
that owns the home of Washington,
it is still true that the naticn should
hold that property.

A RAILROAD MOVIE.

Now that cne Of the railroads is
using moving pictures to ;npress
upon its employees the necessity for
greater carefulness, would it be ask
ing too much to have a few rods of
film prepared IN the interest of the
travelling public and for the purpose
Of converting or terrifying the Train
Seat Hog?
Let the Hog be shown in all his
hideousness, just as others see him,
hut as he may not see himself. Show
him with his selfish body lo,ling in
the center of the car seat, t1anked by
parcels to repel those who would
share his lair. Next show him
scowling at the woman who hints
that he might move in, and sneering
at the man who suggests that he
sniff his packages.
In the next scene let US see the
Hog seized by husky conductor ano
jammed over into his proper half Of
the seat. Of course, this finn would
have to be rehearsed. At the present
time conductors don't DO any such
thing. They are always looking the
other way when there is a dispute
over hogged seat. But let the con-
uuctor appear in the film as a hero.
1t might be an inspiration to con-
ductors.
Yet, on second thought, it might
be better to have a whole carful
of people rise in their might and
kick the Hog out to the platform
and thence into the circumanbicnt
atmosphere. There ought to be little
expense in getting such a scene. Any
train ir the committing district will
provide the setting. There is never
a lack of Hogs. As for the righteous
mob, every decent comruter has
longed to be part of one.

AVOIDING COLDS.

The assistant health officer of the
District has announced few rules
for avoidance of colds, so easily ac-
CURED at this time of year and so
difficult to escape. 1t isn't necessary
to explain the danger of colds; the
possibility Of pneumonia and Of con-
sumption that linger in them.
At the bottom of The whole bust
ness is the excellent prescription Of
the ounce of prevention. The cold
that is never caught, doesn't lead to
disastrous consequences. Good air,
and plenty of it, all the time, is the
basis of the regimen that promises
best results. One of the most effcc-
tive ways of catching cold is to take
a good deal of exercise out of doors,
and then sleep in ill-vcntilated
rooms. Farmers are addicted alto
Cether too much to this proceeding.
They work in the fresh air; but they
live and sleep in houses that in a
large proportion of cases are badly
heated, sleCp in bed rooms that are
kept too tightly closed in order to
shut out the cold, and thus divide
their day into one period of constant
indulgence in the best of air, and an
other of using the very worst. This
makes them especially liable to colds.
Town people in the more fortunate
classes have the best ventilation in
their homes, and the best heating
systems. They subject themselves to
fewer extremes. Finally, increasing
numbers of them sleep out of doors.
1t is not unlikely that the day will
come, and sooner than it may now
be expected, when construction of
homes in cities will De based on
regulations requiring facilities for
outdoor sleeping. There are thou
sands of people who prefer to sleep
out of docrs most of the year, and
would do it if they had the chance.
Sleeping porches are not very expen-
sive, and the habit of using them is
cne of the best and most insistent.
The person who becomes thoroughly
accustomed to sleeping in the open
air, and who then finds himself un-
able to sleep indoors without head
ache and discomfort, has acquired
habit as hard to break as that of
using a drug, and cue that doesn't
need to be interfered With. Good
habits deserve to be indulged, just as
bad ones need to be broken; and the

whereas tho commission man take;
it all, the poor with the good.
None of them seem to have ad-
vanced the reason that they did net
dare stop trading with the commits
sion men lest they lose their bust
ness friendship and have to find a
new place to deliver goods if the
municipal market went out of bust
ness.
The reason given by tho Illinois
formers that it is "too late in the
season" is the voice of the ancient
conservatism of the farm.
Probably the third reason is the
real one: the commission merchant
takes the good and the bad in lump
and the housewife doesn't. The COM
mission man made it easy for the
farmer, but at cost the farmer may
not realize. If the farmer wishes to
get good prices from the housewife

grade his goods and price them ac-
cordingly. If all the squash are the
same price, of course the buyer will
take the best. She won't pick out
little potatoes when the big baking
kind are to be had at the same price.
The trouble is that getting stuff
to market has always been one of
the easiest things in a farmers life,
however Improbable. The commits
sion man made it easy for MIN, send

of the money that he might now get

THE FARM RETAILER.

Word comes from Chicago that the
success of the new municiral market
is seriously threatened because of
the reluctance of farmers to bring
their goods. Some said that The in
novation came too late in the season
for convenient change from the old
practice of selling to the commission
merchant. Others declared that,
owing to busy times on the farm,
they could not afford to spend all
day in the city disposing % :. wagon
load of stuff which a commission
man would take off their hands in
ten minutes. A third reason was
that housewives are too particular
and buy only the best of the produce.

pay particular attention to the re-
ligious school. and fourth, to develop
good fellowship, and to unite Hebrew
women in closer bonds of social re-
lationship.'
Source of Strength.
The Sisterhood has more than JUS
titled its existence. 1t has been a
source Of great strength to the
Eighth Street Temple. Through it
more than 5000 was added to the
treasury Of the congregation. 1t also
made many gifts such as altar cloths
and coverings. handsome marble me-
mortal tablets, and weekly floral
decorations on the altar.
Monthly programs arranged by the
Ssterhood have been of a high
order. DIR. Simon's review of He
braic current themes has been one
feature of great value. Literary
and musical offerings of excellence
also have been heard. Men and
women of national renown have ad-
dressed the meentings, Last spring

detailed information as 70 the posi-
tility of using the islands as base

stances of this inquiry were such as
deeply to impress people in Portugal
and elsewhere.
Portugal has long been closely af-
filiated with Great Britain, and more
recently has been frankly an ally.

was in fact renewed with some cs-
tentati, IN after the beginning of the
present war. Portugal has some i'm
rortant reasons for cultivating the
good will of Great Britain. for Pcr-
tugal has possessions in Africa equal

United States, and Of great pcten-
tial richness. These possessions, long

Portuguese concern about German
expansion
Portugal is the newest republic Of
the Continent Of Europe. Britain is
allied with the republic Of Portugal,
m.d at the same :ime is the present
home of the cxiled King: so that re-
lations on all sides are good, and
there is small probability of domcs-
tic difference of opinion if the coun-
try sholld find it necessary to take
hand in the war.

to the fighting line with great dis

ports that have handled the British

them if they are asked for: and that
obligation has been renewed with all
solemni,y since the present war be-
gan, with perfect understanding that
the agreement might mean the very
thing now suggested
