SOME VERY QUEER JOBS
 WARSHIPS HAVE DONE

Not all the tasks warships are called on to undertake have to do with war and the destruction of human life and property.
 A couple! of French warships were sent out into the Mediterranean some years ago to wage war aginst school of porpoises which were doing. an immense amount of dam age tsiethe fishing industry in those waters. After three days hostil ities, during which quick firing guns were used with considerable effect, the vessels returned to port triumphant, having practically an- initiated the enemy.
 A year or two ago a warship of Great Britain's Australian fleet was given the strange job of cap turing of destroying mysterious sea monster which had been re- ported off the Falkland Islands, the scent of the recent German naval defeat.
 It is pretty safe to say that the officers, if not the crew, entertain ed grave doubts of the actual ex- istence of the frightful creature which had been described; it was too terrifying, hideous, gigantic and ferocious.
 But shortly after the shin arriv- -, .-.... svauers where the monster was supposed to lie in wait for yes sels, the officer of the watch de- scribed strange-looking beast making towards his ship, and it vas immediately guessed that this must be the substance of all the alarming tales. And a pretty good substance it proved, too.
 An attack was made upon it, and

SNOWFALL PARTY

The Rounsefell residence was the scene last night of very pretty party, given in honor of the Nett lakahtla visitors by Miss Kathleen Rounsefell and Mir Jack Rounsefell. The house was beautifully dccorat ed for the occasion with festoons of greens and snowtalls, while the guests were requested to wear something in the way Of Christmas tree ornamente, thus the scene was pretty and a merry one. About thirty guests were entertained and had a delightful time until q late hour, when delicious refreshments brought the festive occasion to d close.

THE FATHER OF FRESH AIR

There died at Saranac lake re- gently man whose name even pro- bably was unknown to the thous- ands of men and. women whose ben efactor h ewas. So general has be- come the spread the fresh air treatment for tuberculosis and so matter of course is it now consid- cred that most people will be sur prised to learn that until this week the physician who first tried it was still living, an example of the eff ficacy of the method he inaugura- ted and which he saw adopted for the relief of suffering throughout the land. In 1872 Dr. Edward Liv- ingston Trudeau was forced to give up his practice in New York be- cause of tuberculosis. He went to the Adriondacks to try out on him oOll iiio bhCOIy VI c Sulc lOl CliC complaint from which he suffered. He had lived there ever since.
 He founded the sanitarium there for the treatment of incipient tub erculosis in working men and wom- en and the Saranac research lab oratory for the study of tuberculo- sis, each of the first of it's kind in the country, and had been in charge of them since the beginning. Both by his writings and hy his ac- tivites in the national association to fight tuberculosis he did a great deal to extend the knowledge that prevention as well as cure of the disease which claimed so many vic tims was within easy reach of the afflicted.

"MAMMY" REPLACES
 FRENCH CHEFS

Without desiring to start any international complications the pro- prietors of southern hotels have be- gun to banish French chefs. An ancient tradition and an ancient friendship are thus destroyed. The pates and glaces and other French delicacies with acute accents and with tendency to give acute in digestion are to be no more.
 And for whom are these culin- ary chieftains being if one may put it so ungracefully, fired? In the fair far Southland there is no predjudice. What is wanted is good food, by whatever hand pre- pared. Those of us dwelling in the, painful north who can afford to south go there with an appetite made keen for beaten biscuit, for chicken just so, for caned yams or sugared sweets. Thereis record ed the case of man who travelled 200 miles that he might eat Of the omelet souffle as it was practiced by one who bore the sweet name of Lavina Nobleton, and who prayed over each omelet. To cater to such appitites, Southern propietors tried to import French chefs. They have failed. On Broad street, yes. Be- low the Potomac, no.

WALK TO TAKOMA PARK
TAKEN BY ESQ PERSONS
Second Largest Crowd in History of
Wanderlusters Enjoys Sun
day Stroll.
Business Meeting to Be Held Tues
day Evening-Hike Next Week to
Start at Cabin John Bridge.

With ego persons in the ranks of the
wanderlusters yesterday when the
walklovers of Washington assembled
for their regular Sunday afternoon out
ing, the crowd was the largest which
has been present since September a
year ago, when 252 followed the flag.
Here is the Official story of the jaunt:
The walk was first class, and the
autumn day was as perfect as one
could ask. From Michigan avenue we
followed Harewood road to the east
and north of Soldiers Home grounds,
around by the cemetery and then
through Fort Totten, winding in and
around the old earthworks which
formed one of the numerous defenses of
Washin Gton during the civil war pc
riod From the fort one descends to
Terra Gotta, small manufacturing
station on the Metropolitan branch Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad; thence
to Woodburn. past Martins store. or
what was formerly known as Jack
kelley's corner. Just beyond few
minutes rest on another commanding
site, similar to the matchless scene at
Mount St. Alban, was enjoyed by every
one. Then, adding variety to the road
walking. several wooded sections We're
included in the itinerary, and the rustic
of the leaves under foot made sweet
music TO the old and young.
Truck Gardens Sighted.
"As we neared Jakoma Park, our des-
tination, truck gardens were sighted
There were cabbages, strawberries, par
ships, lettuce, celery and turnips, but
the latter seemed about the only article
palatabIe at this time of the year. At
one point where the trail was narrow,
the crowd formed almost q semt-circle,
stretching out for probably 500 feet, in
single, double and triple file a little
farther on the line reached more near
" to 1000 feet in length, as far as the
eve could reach each way on account OF
the intervening trees.
Next Sunday afternoon James +.
Greene will lead from Cabin John
bridge, starting at 2:40 o'clock. The
walk as whole is characterized as
easy. but there will be variety enough
to satisfy those who like a bit of rough
ness, too.
Tuesday evening business meeting
is to be held at the home of q. A.
Gambs. 2617 University place. Any one
interested is invited to be present, but
especially the leaders are urged to be
out as several matters of Importance
are to be discussed. Wednesday an
evening stroll viii be given, leaving
from the east or south end of Connecti-
cut Avenue bridge at o'clock, few
minutes walk from either Chevy Chase
or Mount Pleasant car lines"
