GETTING NOTHING FOR SOMETHING. IN THE BIG MODERN C|TY STORES

 Did you ever buy a bottle of lemon extract in a big city department store and have i. delivered? It comes with an amazing amount of packing and padding, which required somebody's time to put on.
 Whatever you buy, it's tha way. The stores have four that cheap packing doesn 1 pay, and they use miles of twine and bales of heavy car tons, excelsior and other such packing material. A package with a cubic content one hun dred times that of the goods inside is by no means un- common.
 The goods are delivered in a highly polished automobile, with a chauffeur and a foot man.
 Whew! To make a charge ticket of that little purchase, to Swath it in all that packing, to carry it to it's destination in an equipage with speed and luxury which would have Shamed the Caesars, must cost a staggering percentage of the selling price.

WE SAY NIX" 0h THE
 WEATHER BACK EAST

When the frost is on the window
 And the kitchen pail is froze; When the little icy needles come
 With every breath that blows; When the chilblains cause a groan aloud
 And cold feet give much pain It's safe to bet that all do wish
 For Yuma time again. For while people sweat and stew
 Around in breezy, easy clothes, It's an easy thing to cool off
 And forget ali earthly woes. But it's very different way back east,
 Where the world is full of ice And the weather is as hard to beat As any loaded dice. We may boast about the climate,
 And about the spring and fall, But balmy days in Yuma
 Are the best ones after all.

SPINACH
By Caroline Coe

ttThe broom of the stomach" is
what fashioned folks call spinach,
and it's medicinal qualities rather
than its food value make spinach the
best of all spring vegetables.
Housekeepers who practice econ
omy sometimes substitute sweet
drippings from roast beef or chicken,
for butter, this substitution makes
even the new spinach just coming
into the market an inexpensive dish.
Cream Spinach.-Put the spinach
i ma pan with pint of boiling water
and tablespoonful Of salt to each
peck of spinach. Cook rs minutes,
drain, put in chopping tray and mince
fine. A little before serving time put
8 tablespoonful of butter in pan,
melt but do not brown, add slowly 2
tablespoonfuls of flour.
Stir the mixture until it becomes
smooth and in bubbles, then add the
minced spinach and cook 8 minutes;
stir all the time to keep from scorch-
ing. Add 1 cup of cream and serve.
Spinach Plain BoiIed.-Cook spin
ach, drain and chop. Serve on plat.
ter with rings of hard boiled egg and

A Mix-Up in Names.

M EAR Juneo. Alaska, there is =
Az prosperous mining town called
Sheep Creek. while at the head OF
Cook Inlet there has been for a num-
her of years an insignificant and prac-
tically unknown place, a mining viii
lage known as Ship Creek. In antici-
ration of the boom caused by the pro
posed new government railroad last
year Ship Creek began to receive a
great deal of freight from various ves-
sells plying from Seattle to Cook Inlet.
and the similarity between the names
of the two settlements caused consid-
cradle confusion. Sheep Creek re-
ceived several shipments of freight in
tended for Ship Creek.
Because of this state of affairs the
Alaska railroad commission, we'll as
the heads of steamship companies. re-
quested that Ship Creek be changed
to Woodrow Creek. The matter was
formally placed before the national
geographic board. which has soe juris-
diction in passing on geographic
names Early in last November the
name was changed, and the coast AMI
geodetic survey was notified. The new
name applied not only to the creek it
sprung up.
Since that time the Post Office De-
partment has given the name or
Anchorage to the post Office at Wood
row Creek.
The national geographic board lis the
only organization which has the right
to change the name of a town, river or
mountain, but the Post Office Depart
ment reserves the right to change the
name of post office.

the department had originally recon-
mended because subsequent to my report
the performances of submarines in Euro
pean waters showed the worth of such
craft, especially in harbor and coast de-
Tense. and | asked Congress in my hear
ings to appropriate for as many adj
ditional submarines as the revenues
would permit.
1T is the duty of my department to
navy, especially with respect to those
matters which the European conflict has
proven to be of real value. Thus Con-
sress will be able TO deliberate and act
intelligently. and if to my recommends
lions we can add that the navy has main
tanned itself up to the highest state OF
excellence ] do not doubt for an instant
that Congress will add whatever the navy
may need.
But, since Congress will make ap-
preparations only for what the people
believe to be right. ] am always glad to
have published all proper information
of failures rs well as of successes-in
order that thoughtful people may know
our own resources and what they may
possibly be called upon to meet The
people can then make their own deduc-
tons as to what additions they should
insist upon having made for the navy.
''Of course. the more spectacular things
are hydroaeroplanes, fast ships and sub
marines; but one must not forget meas

the smaller and nearly obsolete boats,
which Domville-Fife has included. In
the American navy there are thirty
seven submarines in service. They
range from the Plunger and Fulton of
the A class to the latest boats. but their
speed and designs are not made public.
There are twenty in various stages OF
construction. Among them Is the
Schley, designed to make surface
speed of twenty knots. Congress has
made appropriations for eighteen more,
two of which are to be of seagoing
type and are expected to make twenty
five knots.
Aside from the many other purposes
the submarine, in this country. has al
ways been regarded as possessing great
value for coast defense.
Annoyance and damage would attend
an attack of warships upon our coast.
but no invasion could follow until
transports were sent to convey the
necessary troops. Whether this could
be done successfully is a question
which cannot be determined except by
experiment. There are demonstrations
pointing either way. The British fleet
cannot lie very close to the Germa n
coast, because the submarines of the
latter are too dangerous. The German
submarines cannot prevent the trans
portation of men and arms from Eng
land to France. because the aeroplanes.
destroyers and scout cruisers guard
the way too effectively.
In July, 1914, England had thirty-six.
Germany twenty, France twelve dread
naughts, built or building The same
nations respectively had forty, twenty
and eighteen predreadnaughts. At the
present time the United States has six
teen dreadnaughts, and twenty-three
predreadnaughts.
The efficiency of fighting ship, when
it goes into commission. depends upon
the constructor, and thereafter upon
the way it is handled and maintained
This involves the departmental super
vision and the ships company.
The last Congress passed a naval re-
serve bill to attract the men to re-
enlist and to establish an organized
body of highly trained men ready to
respond when called upon in time of
need to man the reserve ships OF the
effectively this will operate, but for
the months of March. April and Nav,
the re-enlistments were respectively

reserve.
No mention is here made of colliers
hospital ships. repair ships. scout crui-
sers or s<other repair ships for sub
marines.
No thought has been directed to the
use of the navy for any purpose other
than as the first line Of defense against
invasion.
There is no doubt if the great con
fict were confined to Germany and
England, and the fleet of the latter
could be bottled up, that the German
army would successfully invade Eng
land, but the English navy could not
be defeated. so the island would be
safe. Except that it takes days, instead
of hours. to cross the sea. the same
principle applies to foreign invasion
of this country. Ships cannot be built
