New Order Pleases Housewives.
Postmaster General Burleson has
made himself more popular than ever
with the women of the country By his
recent order which makes it possible
for housewives to make a'considerable
saving. BY the new order crates OF
vegetables, fruits, eggs, and butter
may by shipped by parcel post. The
president OF the Federation3of Wom-
en's Clubs, Mrs. Ellis Logan. expressed
the view taken by all homemakeIss;
when she said
This order of Postmaster General
Burleson's is what we have been
working for. In opening the parcel
post to such commodities the post
office department has struck telling

The House committee on the District
of Columbia has reported favorably
a bill to prohibit the intermarriage of
whites with co1ored in the District.
The Clark bill holds that any person
'one-eighth negro blood is colored in

BALTIMORE. Nd, April 10
Safety of railroad travel is enhanced
by a recorder annunciator invented
and patented recently Dy Charles
Edmonds, a mechanic In the shops
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad

The new appliance consists of a
signal system attached to the speed

the locomotive to notify the engineer
scribed by the rules has been
by gong which rings in the day
time, supplemented by light which
flashes before, the engineer by night.
Both signals work automatically and
continue while the train is running

The device has been tested on sew
cral locomotives in regular serv ce
and has been reported upon favor
ably The Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road is considering installing the
annunciator on its locomotives in
through train service, which, with
many OF the engines used on local
runs, are equipped with speed re-
cordeTs which indicate the rate OF
speed and make record for each
mile the train travels.
In adopting this method aof train

the field, like the battle of life, is said
TO be fought below the belt. But is 1t?

been vanquished by it's old enemy famine. Yet
had this Uhlan waited until his stomach got into
fighting trim, so to speak, he certainly would not
have yielded so readily.
Il has been freely predicted for years that a
European war could not last long because of the
failure Of the food supply Many loose general
cations have been made OF this point History
eontradicts this view When people are forced by

ing those killed in battle, vas 64I54, whereas for
the same period Of the year preceding t was but

old. not strong at best were 50 weakened from
lack Of good food that they easily fell prey TO
anemia, typhoid fever, dysentery and other dis
eases.
By the end o. January, 1871, just before the
surrender Of the city food was so scarce that rats
were sold at a franc each. Dogs and cats there
we're none. Rats and mice could be had only by
the most careful hunting about the cellars and
the fortfcations.
Yet and so profound is the lesson to be drawn
from this siege this city OF starving people did
not then wish TO surrender 20 the besiegers. The
hopclessness Of the resistance and rs inevitable
end moved those in authority TO surrender. The
very Smelling Of the city. 20 which the Germans
finally resorted, served not brighten the people
but to them 10 greater resistance. The
same phenomenon has been repeated this year in

stations were formed, and every three days bread
in d quantity of 800 grams per person per day

however, very high prices prevailed. Cab5ages

neither soldier nor citizen ate heartily for space
Of many years
In modern times during the Franco-Pru sian
War; Paris gave signal proof Of the resistance Of
which people are capable, despite hunger and an
almost total lack o. nour!shng food. History
gives no other instance Of such large number
of people resisting long or under such diff
culties. The population OF Paris at the census
of 1866 was l,799SsO. and 10 1872 it was $780,
Hence when in early September OF 1870 the Ger
mans encirclcd her, there were easily 100000
people within her fortifcatona. Some Of her citi-

many more we're received from outlying towns

Of Paris of those days was not much different
from the Paris Of to-day so far rs concerns food.
