BEST OF
SOME NEW IDEAS EVOLVED BY
CLEVER COOKS.
Improvements In the Popular Tit.Blt
Known as the "club" Have Been
Made-oysters Used In Place
Of Chicken.

Tea rooms in the big city shopping
districts are serving some new vari-
cites of the always popular club sand
wich. While the principal ingredi-
ents remain the same each style of
club sandwich differs from it's fellows
in some detail which makes it dis
tinctive.
What is known as a French club
sandwich is served with a toasted
English muffin substituted for the
usual slices of toasted bread. 1t is
set down before one garnished with a
few sprays of parsley pressed deep
into the yielding surface of the half
muffin which tops the substantial fill
ing of chicken, bacon, mayonnalse, let
tuce and sliced tomato. Watercress
is used in similar fashion, the spray
of green in either case being embedded
in the toasted muffin so firmly that it
seems to be a little flower holder.
Two halves of trumpet are used for a
similar sandwich and filed with the
same combination, making a sand
witch still more hearty.
Where toasted bread is used vari-
ETY. is given to the club sandwich by
reason of some other meat or fish be-
ing substituted for the usual founda-
ton layer of breast of chicken. Thin
ly sliced duck is delicious with the
bacon and other ingredients, and tur-
key is also another good substitute.
Strips of rare beef, either cold or
freshly cut from a hot roast and
moistened with horseradish may also
be used. and strips of rare steak are
equally appropriate.
An oyster club sandwich has for
it's distinctive feature two or three
large fried oysters. These are laid
on the under slice of toast, sprinkled
with lemon juice and then topped with
two strips of bacon, two lettuce
leaves, a spoonful of mayonnaise and
then the second slice OF toast.
For those who do not care for fried
oysters the oyster club sandwich
comes in still a different form, the
oysters being poached in their own
liquor until the gills curl, when they
are drained of moisture and used for
the foundation of the sandwich. If
preferred oyster club sandwiches may
be served with Russian dressing in
stead of mayonnaise, as the addition
of the tomato flavor in the chilli sauce
is particularly agreeable with oysters,
either fried or poached.
Sardine club sandwich is made
of large boned sardines sprinkled with
lemon juice and arranged as usual
and finely cut lobster, either hot or
cold, offers still another variety.
The egg club sandwich is usually
served with a basis of an egg fried on
both sides, and seasoned well with
salt, pepper and paprika before the
other materials for the sandwich are
added. Hard-boiled eggs, sliced oil
chopped, result in "a sandwich less
rich. In both cases the eggs should
be served hot.

Economy HELPS,

In most households greater economy
of time and energy can be practiced
by cooking larger amounts of food at
n time, and this means a saving in
the fuel bills as we'll.
Enough mayonnaise dressing for all
the salads you will make in a week
can be made on n day. 1t is just as
easy to cook a kettleful of potatoes
that will last two days as it is to pre-
pare only enough for the midday
meal.
There is hardly a vegetable one al
think of that cannot be cooked in
large quantities to advantage and that
will not lend itself readily to warming
over in a variety of ways. And on
those days when the oven is being
used for baked dishes in which the
vegetables play an important part,
double portions of buildings should
be baked.
What is not required that day can
be served a few days later, steamed
over the vegetable pot, and it will be
just as appetizing, if not more so, rs
If freshly made.

KAISER TO EAT WAR BREAD
Orders Food Made Partly Of Potato
Flour Served to Himself
and Staff.

Berlin.-Emperor William has
given orders that the so-called war
bread be served to himself and the
members of his encourage.
This bread, styled also TX" bread,
consists of SIS per cent rye flour and
Is per cent potato flakes. It is being
consumed in accordance with a war
time proclamation with the idea of
making the supply of foodstutf in the
empire last longer.
Up to the present time it has not
been bought readily by the general
public. 1t is hoped, however, that
the decision of the emperor to eat this
bread himself will influence the peo-
pie to follow his example. The news.
papers are giving much attention to
the course of the emperor in this con
nection.

HE IS A WAR HERO AT 10
Marcel Vernier Is the Youngest Non

French Army.

Paris.-The youngest noncommis.
stoned officer in the French army is
Marcel Vernier, who is thirteen years
and seven months old. He followed
the artillery as a kitchen helper at
the opening of the a and learned to
ride a horse and was quickly promoted
to be a corporal. He has been named
adjutant sergeant major and his name
has been proposed for the military
medal for valor in action. He was re-
Gently wounded and was brought to a
Paris hospital.
Vernier is an orphan and is one of
a large family of young brothers and
sisters.

mony and welcomed me as if he had
been in the library of his house in
Brussels. 81 am sorry" he said in ex-
cellent English, ito have to receive
you in this improvised fiat, but 'c'est
la guerre.'"
And the cellar offered certainly a
curious picture. Fourteen soldiers sat
around a makeshift table, at the head
of which-on a barbour officer had
presided. We had evidently inter
rupted a meal. An iron bedstead,
with planks and a few punches of
straw, took up one corner; a tier of
k~napsacks and some more straw, lined
the opposite wall. An old-fashioned
gramophone rescued from the ruins,
formed a conspicuous piece of furni-
ture, but the records had been
smashed. Still, one gets inventive
when time is long and tedious-and it
has been very slow around here these
last days-so some of the records were
pasted together on a piece o; card
board, and with the assistance of a
helping finger, bridging over the gaps
n rents, the old machine managed
to give Carmen" La Boheme," and
some popular French airs.
The first opportunity l have l shall
send them m~uch-needed records and
needles, so that in future the inhab
itants may have some decent music
with their meals. The food consisted
of cold beef, brown bread and water
the color of which did not look ap
petizing at all. One of the soldiers
noticed me glancing - the water bot
Re, and he remarked, especially fol
the benefit Of the younger men, ooh
it's all right, this Eau de User there
may be a dead German or two in 1t
but that adds a sting to it, as they
say in the States"
The cellar was lit by an improvise(
little torch in a bottle, and the mer
around the table with their two weeks
growth of card looked like pirates.

Best Not to Copy Too Closely.

After the general change of the
political situation in the middle ages
that took away the ci~ty-planning activ-
tiles from the princes, and either an
initiated them or put them in the
hands Of the citizens, those citizens
In very many cases turned out TO be
very ordinary, short-sighted, and un-
educated bourgeois" Therefore, con-
tinues DR.. Werner Hegemann, German
expert, it behooves city planners of
today not to take too seriously the
work OF city planners of yesterday.
Beauty is all very well, but there are
other things to be considered.

TOWN.
10 HELPS
STREETS OF MANY LEVELS
Time May Come When Multiple Road-
ways Will Be Matter Of
Necessity.

Fifty years ago the notion Of a 20
story building would have seemed ex-
%travagant. Now it is commonplace.
We have with US some prophets who
talk about the city of the future as a
place of many stories. We have now
but one level of streets. They fore
tell many levels, the Portland Ore
gonian states. Perhaps there will be
a plane of streets for every floor in
the big buildings. The streets will be
laid on concrete arches and lighted by
electricity. Keeping them clean will
not be much of a task because no
horses will be permitted upon them,
nothing but gasoline trucks. The
horse, amiable and useful creature
that he is, must be blamed as the
great def1ler of the streets. When
he has taken his final farewell of the
world, dirt and flies will vanish too.
The need of some such modification
In municipal architecture has become
apparent. In a few years it will be
pressing. Few single streets are wide
enough to accommodate the popula-
tlOu VI NlG DiB Dullhln6b WHICH DOIutI
them in the busy quarters Of our cit
les. There is always congestion, tur-
moil and delay when the cave dwell
ers pour out in a body. In case Of a
great fire there would be terrible
panic and destruction of life. Besides
all that, there is great loss of time in
continually going from the top to the
bottom of high buildings. The eleva-
tor service is usually exemplary, but
1t cannot work miracles.
With streets connecting all the
tenth stories of the same city with
one another the jewellers at that alti-
tude would constitute an independent
community. There would be another
set of streets at the fifteenth story
and still others higher up and lower
down. Business would naturally tend
TO segregate its departments on differ
emit levels and an endless saving of
time and toll would ensue.

A Wide Ranue.

A young m with an aspiration
to shine in the chorus applied to An
dreas DIPPED, who has managed opera
singers all his life, for a position in his
company. ITO sing in a chorus OF
mine," said Mr.. DIPPED, you must
have a good voice" "Oh, but ! have
one" replied the girl. Mr.. DIPPED led
her to the piano and asked her to dem
onstrate her vocal powers. Sitting at
the instrument and then swinging
around, she smiled sweetly and asked:
Shall sing The Chairs in the Parlor
ALI Miss YOU or something light?"

advice to men: Don't be blue. If |

gone down in financial ruin because

gave way to encouragement and the
blues.

we have been passing through and
which have distressed business men
for many months were not 80 much
