New York, Jan. 29.-Capt. Edward
NPinchin, who piloted the American
steamer Elmonte through the mine
strewn waters safely into the harbor
of Bremen on New Years day, brought
bis. ship back here today Although
PInchin's feat was regarded with
amazement at Bremen. he was arrest
ed before his ship could discharge her
cargo of 5000 bales of cotton, ques-
toned at length and finally taken be-
fore German admiral, who cross ex-
amined and then released him.
Because of the double distinction of
guiding his ship through mine fields
and bringing the American flag into
Bremen harbor for the first time in
forty-four years aboard a merchant
vessel, Pinchin was royalty entertain-
ed, he said, during his stay in Bremen.
He said he even evaded the Gordon
of German cruisers at the entrance
to the harbor and the first the Ger
man naval authorities knew of his in
tentions was when the fog lifted and
they saw the Elmonte lying at anchor.

The Cook Saws,

If your market basket or clothes
basket of willow shows a few loose
ends, put it to soak for twenty min
utes or half an hour in lukewarm wa
ter.
A good way to do is to put the
basket into the bathtub, resting it on
the part that is to be repaired, then
turn in enough water to soak this
part. The important thing is to get
the willow ends soft and pliable.
When this is accomplished the
strips can be readily bent back into
place, and if you push them in firmly,
they will stay in place when dry. New
er try to bend the willow strips while
they are dry, as they will be sure to
snap off.
A putty knife, with it's short handle
and broad blade, is an indispensable
tool in the kitchen. 1t can be used for
turning hash, fritters and fish. It's
broad end is also most useful in scrap
ing pots and pans.

A few simple bits Of pottery whose

what every household needs. Hand
some brass and copper will often do
much toward Frightening some gloomy

might take note Of those chosen by
a person of excellent judgment in such
matters.
Plain glass vases, medium tall and

excellent holders for sweet peas;
Spanish pottery suits well the rich col
