or the third division OF the public
schools, sent q letter TO the organiza
tion thanking it on behalf of the john
son and Powell schools for its efforts
in having a crossing policeman sta
toned at 18th and Lamont streets.
Suggestion that the association CO.
operate with the Federation OF Citi-
zens' Associations in bringing about an
adjustment of the tangled boundary
lines of TIE various citizens bodies
was made. This subject probably will
be specially considered at the next
meeting.
Secretary c. Melvin Sharpe will en-

Will Clean UP Plague Zone.

Dr. Strong, who is head Of the sani-
.ation commission. was delegate to the
International plague conference at
sIukden, China, i'm 1911 with his as
socisttes he is planning comprehen
sive clean up OF the entire war area
TO remove all conditions from which a
pestiIence and plague would be likely
TO spread.
This is u hcrculeaH task, and the
expense will be enormous. Officials of
.he American Red cross Society said
last night that they are hopeful that
there viii be a generous popular con-
tribution to meet this expense. as the
work is the greatest humanitarian eff
fort ever presented to the American
people. 1t is to save the entire popu-
iation of the vast European continent
from being wiped off the earth by the
Jread disease cholera. and not. many
have misunderstood. merely a service
FOR the Serbian soldiers.

Others Offer to Go to Serbia.

ITO the lasting credit of American
won1anhood it should be said that there
were numbers of offers from Red Cross
trained nurses to go to Gevgelia. Some
of the letters from the nurses, received
after they had been emphatically
warned of the risks. would bring tears
to any ones eyes. In two or three cases
they announced that they had made
final adjustment of their personal af-
fairs and were ready to face death 1T
self. One insistent nurse said that she
had no near relatives living and there
fore would not be mssed-that there
was no one dependent upon her. An
other nurse, who had only an aged
father of her immediate family living,
said that she had talked the matter
over with him fully and had at last
persuaded him to permit her to accept
this hazardous service.
1T is not the intention of the Red
Cross to allow Its surgeons and nurses
to cope with such overw he Ginning odds
as the Gevgelian situation presents for
any length of time. They will all be
removed to places of safety as soon as
possible and until the sanitary COM
! mission minimizes considera bly, the pal
pable risks they will be kept out of
that immediate vicinity.

MARS AND MARRIAGE.
Welded Life In the United States Army

Welded Life In the United States Army
and Navy.
Cupid doesn't let the fortune of the
Newport girl or the lack of fortune OF
the Cheyenne girl interfere with his
arrangements when he gets his strateg-
ic dispositions planned ana his forces
modified" writes Judson q. Welliver
in Munseys Magazine The subject
Of the article is marriage in the Amer
lean army and navy, and he argues
that AS rule the officers of these serV-
ices marry young and happily:
BE it Bar Harbor or Long Beach.
Portland or Panama. east or west,
north or south, your young man in the
blue and gold is accOutered to take care
of himself socially. The uniform un-
deniably helps. But it does more than
add touch of color to the social land
scape whereon it disports. 1t is
prfma facie guarantee that a young
man with well trained brain. a sound
body. disciplined mind, clean, whole
some and ambitious is inside.
The uniform wouldn't be there if il
were not a testimonial about that tn
Bile Of contents. The drawing room
arts. the social refinements. the bail
room accomplishments are added unto
all this because they have been part
of the atmosphere. the training, the
bringing up in those two splendid in.
situations that prepare young men to
wear Uncle Sans livery.
The navy men may not take their
wives with them TO sea under any pos
sible pretext. If there is enough of
family income to permit the wife may,
and not infrequently does, parallel the
vOyagings of her husband. To the
Philippines the government permits
wives of navy officers to travel ON the
transports at cost of subsistence,
which is very modest.
M each army post houses are pro
vided for the married officers, and Tn
clio Sam also furnishes light and fuel
In these respects the army officer has
the better of his brother in the navy.
On the other hand, be must pay for
household supplies and service of all
kinds. while the naval officer is Il
member of his mess and gets the best
of living on shipboard at marvelously
cheap rates.
Army and navy officers as a rule
marry young. and as rule the mar
riages are happy. The reasons are oh
vious. AT least the economic reasons
are. The others lie in that traditional
fascination which uniforms and gold
trappings have for the feminine heart"

Customs of the Redouins.

Such pride has the Bedouin in his
weapon that even in his leisure hours
he sits fully armed. examining and
cleaning each piece in turn, making
himself accustomed to carrying their
weight.
From the time that he is eighteen
years of age until he dies of old age
he is more or less looking out for new
wives.
By law Mohammedans are never al.
lowed to have more than four at the
same time, but they easily evade this
regulation by divorcing one, which
means sending her back to her par.
ents.
This is often because she has borne
him no souls, and it happens that the
old sheiks almost always have young
wives.
Just as it is allowable with them to
steal camels. so the young men help
one another to steal wives from other
tribes.

POTTERY WORK is A PUZZLE
Immense Bowls Made by Indians Of
the Amazon Valley Cannot Be
Duplicated.

An expert has declared there is no
kiln or oven in this country, probably
none in the world. large enough to
bake the largest of the big pots dis
covered in the Amazon valley, samples
of which are now on exhibition at the
Museum of the University of Penn
sylvania The clay used also has
aroused much curiosity. When a
piece OF the edge was clipped from
one of the big bowls the material was
shown to be a black, flinty substance
Undeniably it is clay, but of a kind
never seen before by Psychologists.
Potters are astonished at it's remark
able strength. The large bowls are
less than half an inch thick, while
some of the smaller ones, a foot or
fourteen inches high. are as thin as
sheet of newspaper. An idea of their
strength may be gained from the
knowledge that they were transport
ed about ten thousand miles before
reaching the museum, and only few
of them were broken, though all were
packed under difficulties in villages
that knew nothing of packing break
ables.
The Indians who made these wonder
ful pots are as mysterious as their
work. Doctor Farrabee wrote that
they were absolutely devoid of any
traditions, and had no idea of where
they came from. 1t is known, however,
that they cannot have been in Peru
more than about five hundred years.
The larger bowls give out a metallic
sound when raped. One not seeing
the substance would say at first they
were made of painted copper. Each of
the two big pots would hold four or
five tons

Gregory bowed with dignity and was
silent, but he left the office fully aware
of the significance of those last words
They referred to Miss Beatrice Ran
som, daughter and heiress of the rich
and powerful owner of the Blythesdale
coal mines.
The allusion had disturbed Gregory.
AS he proceeded on his way his brain
was hard at work, seeking to devise
some method of tapping the new vein
without risk. There was way and
he had suggested it, but it involved
two months labor and considerable
expense.
On his way to the shaft house the
young manager paused in front of one
of the numerous wretched shacks that
lined the road. A small poor crowd
surrounded the place. In the front
yard were a score or more of house
hold articles, such as beds, cupboard,
chairs and tables.
A little white-faced crippled child
sat on a bench just outside of the
door, her crutches by her side Stand

apparently her father. His eyes were
swollen with despair as he viewed the
proceedings about him.
"One of our workers, l remember
him." soliloquized Gregory, becoming
interested. "Oh, l see!"
Tackled to a tree was legal notice
of eviction and the seizure of chattels
for delinquent rent. This was a COM
mon occurrence at the mines. In this
especial case, however, something in
the pitiable helplessness of the little
child and the forlorn bearing of the
old man appealed strongly to the
mine manager.

soups, either milk or stock
Any strong variety of onion is much
improved for the table in spite of loss
of nutritive value if the water is
changed several times during the cook
ing process. Milk may be used as the
medium for final cooking.
Fried Onions.
Fried onions may be prepared in
either of two ways: % Saute sliced
onion in olive oil, butter, OF other fat
until golden brown and tender; or (2)
fry few pieces at time in deep fat,
let them remain in the hot fat until
they are crisp, like Saratoga potatoes,
but do not let them become too brown.
Use to garnish meats or add to SOUPS,
or combine with potatoes, stewed
beans, or other vegetables.
Stuffed Onions.
Parboil large onions, remove cen,
ters without breaking other layers,
and stuff with seasoned crumbs or
meat, and bake until tender.
Onion Custard.
Cook onions until tender; drain
thoroughly; pour over them a custard
mixture made of one egg, one-half cup
full milk, salt and pepper to taste, for
each half pint of onions. Bake gently
and serve as vegetable. In southern
Europe this dish is popular cooked in
a crust, like small custard pies.
Onion Souffle.
Chop cooked onion fine or rub
through coarse strainer; combine
with equal quantity soft bread crumbs
or half as many dry ones; season with
butter, salt, and pepper. For each
half pint, beat in one egg yolk and fold
in one stiffly beaten white. Put in
small dishes or in onion cases and
bake gently until firm.
