has had to resort to an Illegal block
ade to accomplish even this, to the
great injury of neutrals. Her North
Sea battle feet, it is well known,
hugs her own sheltering harbors for
protection against German subma-
rines, depending on swift cruisers
that scout the German shores for
wireless messages to summon it
forth if it really has to 80 into ac-
ton. Shades of Collingwood and Mel
son! Is this Brlttania that rules
the wave?
We hear ominous rumblings from
Great Britain's Intervals. Much of it
pertains to economic conditions and
much of it reflects no credit on a
supposedly great and patriotic ma
ton. We are told that British work
men drink so heavily that they can
not keep the wheels of industry go
ing at the required speed, also that
sordid selfishness OH the part of en-
ployers who want undue profits and
Of workmen who demand excessive
pay and unreasonable conditions is
Gripping the output, especially of
war munitions, absolutely needed.
The government has taken hold of
both problems, so acute is the situa-
ton. The king has given up his cock
tails as an example, though the pre-
lates of the Established church de-
cline to follow the example, and the
workmen are slow to follow suit.
Lloyd-George has issued threat of
CONSUMPTION for the workers ii they
do not satisfy him by improved con-
duct within seven days. The situa-
tion is not assuring to nation en-
gagged in death struggle. We hear
no such complaints from Germany
or France or Russia, all of which the
Briton holds in varying degrees of
contempt as inferior nations.
The war is costing the British en-
Fire $l5,000,000 day and new war
budget of five billion dollars is be-
| fore Parliament. The returns on the
investment are not apparent up to
date. 1t is a good deal like pouring
money into a rat hole. The cost Of
living has scared as much in London
| as it has in Berlin or Vienna, where
| people are supposed to be starving to
| death as the result Of the British
| blockade. 1t is clear that England
has much to do to set her own house
in order before she can put her foot

Nobody questions the courage or
bravery of the British common soldi
err or his fortitude under trying con
ditions. He viii even put up with
mediocre leadership and poor mah-
agement where an American private
would start mutiny There have
been plenty OF both Of these, as the
final story of the war will abundantly
show Whether British fortitude will
outwear British stupidity British
complacency, British sordidness and
British sottedness is a question on

Here are a few things which it will
prove useful to know when the occa-
sion comes along:
When you are doing your summer
sewing this year try this plan. Hooks
to look neat must be sewed on so that
they don't show on the right side of
the material. To do this, just cut a
piece of cardboard so that it will slip
in the hem or plait. AS you sew on
each hook. slip the cardboard along
and your stitches won't come through
Old muslin which Is yellow with age

A MUS E M E N S
1.-THE Red Widow"

The most massave production Of the
season is the Astor Theatre, New
York musical play, The Red Widow"
which is announced for next Tuesday
night at The Auditorium.
The company numbers over fifty
people and the scenic and electric ef-
fects are so heavy and numerous that
1t takes two sixty-foot baggage cars to
transport same.
The first act is laid in an English
Music Hall with the unique effect of
theatre on the first night of a new
production carried out to it's full
There is seen a stage upon a stage and
the play within the play with the effect
of the raising and the lowering of the
curtain. which is followed by the
wealth and beauty of England in a
Grand Promenade De Toilettes which
is pleasing to both men and women as
1t shows the newest sensation of this
fall season in all their magnificence.
"The Red Widow" carries a working
crew Of eight grizzled old veterans of
stage mechanics who never have had
the glory of appearing before the pub
lie but who. like the hidden hands OF
the marionettes stand and pull the
strings of this gigantic production.
The costuming which is of innumer
able charm and splendor is so exten
sive that four lady knights of the
needle are constantly needed for it's
care. They too, like their co-workers
the mechanics, never appear before
the public but linger in the shadow
Of the limeli2ht with a wary eye, anu

pHEAsANTs DANGER WARMERS.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
London, Feb. 16.-Folks ON the East
Coast have no need of look-outs to
warn them of battle in the North
Sea. Even when they can not hear
the gun-firing they have auguries of
the battle in the pheasants, in which
the country thereabout abounts.
Hours before the people of London
were aware of it, many East Coast
residents knew there had been an en-
gagement on the morning of Sunday,
Jan. "A. Almost Immediately firing
had begun the pheasants made great
stir and fuss, and those old residents
able to read the signs realized tha.
the sensitive birds we're aware of dis
tant cannonading. Similar demonstra-
tions by the birds had been made on
previous occasions.
The Rev. w. NJ. l.. Evans, writing
from SaXby Rectory, Lincolnshire, or
the East Coast, says: ut may be OF
interest to Admiral-Sir David Beatty
to know that a large portion of the
population of this remote parish, in
spite of the censor, knew all about his
doings on Sunday morning at an early
hour.
Our worthy clerk met me with tn,
announcement, There be rare going
on in the North Sea the morn
why I inquired.
"'The pheasants is all over the place
with their FUSS" was the reply. Man!
villagers" adds the Rector, confirm
his statement as to the excited condi
/ tion of the BIRDS
The London Times, investigating
the matter, finds that pheasants else
where along the coast have displayed
the same uneasiness during naval en-
gagements. Their sensitive organism
catches the faiptest distant tremors
when the human ear is not disturbed

BREAD FROM 50 PER
CENT POTATO MEAL
CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENTS WITH
AUSTRIAN RECIPE WITH
GOOD RESULTS.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 16.+Baking
experiments to test the value of max
ing bread of potato-meal mixed with
wheat flour are now being undertaken
by the u S. Department of Agricul-
lures Bureau of Chemistry. This is
to test the possibilities of the potato
in the same manner as Germany and
Austria are now advising their people
to do. The increaser cost of living
throughout the world has emphasized
the fact that -four made of other SUB
stances than wheat, or of these suu-
stances mixed with wheat, might pro-
vide people with healthful food quite
as nutritious as the pure wheat -four.
and at the same time cheaper.
Austrian bakers are now compelled
by law to use at least 80 per cent
potato-meal in making their bread.
The Bureau of Chemistry's potato
meal bread has been baked with from
25 to so per cent potato-meal and the
remaining per centage wheat. The
most satisfactory loaves in combining
economy and appearance were those
made with the minimum per centage
allowed in Austria or less. The loaves
made with more than 80 per cent po-
tato-meal were not so satisfactory, as
they were heavier and less attractive
in form. The bread has rather
coarse texture and dark appearance
but possesses a distinctive and agree.
able flavor 1t also retains moisture
for a much longer period than ordi-
uary wheat bread.
The Bureau of Chemistry used the
imported potato flake" in some OF ITS
experiments, andin others. meal made
by slicing. milling and drying potatoes
on small scale in its laboratories
1t should be added that such ordinary
potato -four" on the American mar
kets is not the same as the German
potato flake" or Walz-mehl which has
given such satisfactory results in the
experiments.
The question has been raised as to
whether the ordinary cooked potato
might not be satisfactorily substituted
for the prepared potato-meal The ex
perimenters believe that it might serve
the same purpose If used in just the
right proportion. but this would bt
difficult for the average housewife tt
determine as there is great danger o.
using too much and producing a sogg,
loaf. However. the custom of addint
a very little potato is already used b,
many housekeepers to keep thei
bread moist and this practice can yer,
