185 STATE STREET
GEN. HAMPTON, SEC
 RETARY OF FIELD MAR
 SHAL FRENCH, 51 TODAY

When Field Marshal Sir John French went to the front to assume command of the British forces in France and Belgium, he was accom- panied by Brigadier-General the Hon William Lambton, in the capacity of military secretary and personal staff to the veteran chief Gen. Lambton was born fifty-one years ago today. Dec. 4, 1883, and has been a fighting man for thirty years After leaving Eton and Sandhurst, he Joined the Co1dstream Guards in 1884. He had his first taste of war in the Egyptian campaign, and fought at Atbara and sOrndurman. During the South African war his ga1lantry won recognition in the dispatches. as well as the D. s. O. and the. kings medal He was severely wounded in one en- gagement with the Boers.- For sew eraI years, during and after the war; herWas military secretary to ViScount MiIner, the governor of the Transvaa1.
 Gen. Lambton was a younger son of the second Earl of Durham, and the brother of the third earl. All of the sons of the second earl had more or less military experience. The e1d- est who succeeded to the title in 1879, was a lieutenant of the famous Cold stream Guards, and his twin but younger brother served in the same organization. The third son, Sir He'd IT,. a. vice-adniral. The fourth son, the Hon. Charles Lambton. distinguished himself in Soudan and in South Africa. The fifth sons only military expert ence was in the militia. Gen. William Lambton is the sixth of the valiant sons of the second Earl of Durham A nephew of the first earl was hero of the Crimea, and several of his sons are now in the army.
 Lambton is the family name of the earls of Durham. The earldom dates from 1888, the first earl having pre- yious1y been created a baron. The position of military secretary to the commander of the British forces is far from being a sinecure. The man who holds that job must work about twenty-four hoNrs a day, as it is re- ouired of him that he keep constant. ly in touch with all the various units of the army. His position is some what similar to that of a train dis patcher, since he must see to it that the military map showing the disposal of the forces be kept constantly up to date, and his chief depends on him to be kept informed of all important developments.

COOPERATIVE KITCHENS

Much newspaper comment has. been caused by an experiment at Montc1air, N J., in cooperative cooking. Many co-operative kitchens have failed, be cause they took little pains to satisfy the whirns of customers. This ex- pertinent tries to provide each house hold with what it wants
 tI has always seemed strange to men that women have never joined forces more extensively to save needless du- plication in the work of cooking. It would be nearly as easy to prepare ten dinners of roast beef, as one, thus saving the cost of nine kitchen fires ard servants wages.
 Many people of moderate means who have always hired a servant find them English speaking girls have largely gone into stores and factories. The larger part of domestic service today is performed at a high price by raw
 boned peasant women from the remot- CT sections of Europe. If you ask them to. bring you a fork, they get a glass of water. If you vary a hair from the established order. if one morning you eat hash for break fast instead of eggs. their minds are completely bewildered.
 The maintenance of a complete res taurant equipment in every home seems a needless waste. People who live in city apartment houses learn to adjust themselves to the regimen of a cafe, and enjoy the freedom from domestic cares.
 Perhaps the idea will spread into many neighborhoods of individual houses. Gangs of cleaners could come around at fixed hours to put houses to rights. These are mysteries be- yond the knowledge of the average man. On the face of it the co-opera- tive kitchen idea looks good. The experiment referred to above will be wotched with interest.

Correction.

Mr.. G. H. Mcknight, Street Com
missioner for the town of Colfax, asks
that we correct the statement made in
the Chronicle last week, that the prop
erty owners and the town of Colfax
were each paying one-half of the ex-
pense for putting down the cement
sidewalk on Railroad Avenue. He says
the property owners are to pay all of
the expense of putting down the walk,
and that the work is simply being done
under his supervision as street COM
missioner. We cheerfully make the
correction, and must compliment the
property owners on their liberality and
progressiveness in the matter. Our
error occurred from concluding the
construction was on the same basis as
the building of the brick curb wall sew
eral months ago. at which time the
town paid half of the expense.

ence, they devote most of their

A New Auto Fuel.

The announcement, through the
American Machinist, of newly deve-
loped fuel for all internal-combustio
engines will be good reading for auto
owners.
An Englishman, after much expert
menting, has produced fuel-oil which
is not only cheaper than gasoline, but
is practically ordorless, is easier start
ed and more powerful propeller.
About so per cent of it is kerosene, the
remaining 20 per cent being chemicals
which are not named. but which form
an emulsion for the kerosene. The
combination of the chemicals is the Sc
cret of the process.
Combustion of the oil is said to be so
perfect that there is very little SCOT left
in the cylinders, and it can used with
the same carburator as gasoline.
1t cannot yet be bought in the mark
cts, but an English company is building
a plant that will produce 20, 600. 600 gal
tonS year.
Of course, if there is no mistake and
The fuel proves to be what is claime1
Tor it, the next step will be to bring il
o America and place it in our markets
where it will find its biggest sale. A
setter and less expensive auto fuel
would be boon to car owners.
Undoubtedly there will be an effort
on the part of the gasoline people tc
spike the wheel of the proposed new
enterprise, but the worst they can do il.
