NO; it would serve me right for be-

OF course you say that now; but
II it really happened to you. the shoe
would be on the other foot"
They walked along a few minutes in
silence Helen was thinking of the
incident Warren was apt TO be more
careless about small things than she
was. Helen believed that it paid to be
honest about the smallest things. Her
silence finally annoyed Warren, who
spoke again.
Don't you think it best TO have a
big corporation suffer the loss of a bit
of change than it is for me TO lose out
on it," he asked
Certainly I don't. Besides. it's not
the corporation that loses. That poor
man who was careless in making
change will probably have TO make it
good
Oh, nonsense. YOU always make a

How To Serve Watermelon
By CONSTANCE CLARKE.

THE Chinese have taught US the
! most pleasant way Of serving
watermelon, and nowadays one
seldom finds it served with the rind
on. The ripe red melon heart Is cut
in dainty shaped pieces and served
with melon sorbet.
Take of the skin of a ripe red
melon and pound half Of the fruit
until smooth; then add to it two cups

Of water, one-half cup Of sugar and
the juice OF two oranges and two
lemons. Pass the PURGE through a
hair sieve, add one glass Of
maraschino syrup. freeze it in the
freezer to a semi-sohd consistency,
and serve with the remainder Of the
melon that has been cut in fancy
shapes. Garnish the dish with mint
leaves.

favortte sons viewed the flag ship as
merely very patriotic talk which
very properly ought not to be con.
strued as creed Of faith.
The Hughes opposition admitted
the speech gave Frank Hitchcock,
the Justices selfappointed agent
here, his first tangible line on where
his candidate stood.
Coincident with the rending OF the
Hughes veil Of silence, came a plan
today by the old guard for a public
and formal scrapping Of the steam
roller. The organization wants to
emphasize its argument since the first
delegates arrived-that the conven-
ton is to be free and untrammellod
in all its action. The organization is
absolutely sure of its control. It has
votes to put over any candidate If.
chooses. The most radical progress
sive scarcely disputed this today. The
two things on which the interests OF
the old guard centers are the selec
ton of a candidate who can win and
the complete restoration of those
parts OF the party machine which
were torn loose four years ago.
The latter consideration is the one
Of first importance. Every effort Is
to be made to erase tracks made by
the 1912 steam roller.
Talk of the probable nominee buzz
through the hotel Hobbies but It is
not engrossing much of the time OF
the conferees in the inner circle. Here
all thought and effort Is bent on salv.
ing over old scars, spreading tempt
ing viands before returning political
prod1gals and whiting down to
minimum that faction Of the pro-
gressive party which it is recognized
can never be coaxed back into the
fold The lower the point to which
this non-conformist force can be re.
duced and hence the smaller the in
road into the normal republican ma
ioritv attributable to internal dis
sension. the greater will be the lati-
tude left to the party leaders in the
selection of candidate.
The organization is out to externi-
nate soreheadedness and to heal
every possible lasceration of politi-
cal feelings resulting from 1912.
This determination explains Sena
tor Shoots insistance upon full pub
licity for all contests before the ma

than an easily digestible and highly
nutritious article of food. They dc
not realize that glass Of milk CON
tains approxim ately the same amount
OF nutritive material as a good slice
OF beef, quarter of loaf Of bread
or two large eggs.
1t has been truthfuly said that we
live not upon what we eat but upon
what we digest. Milk is more COM
pletely dfgested and utilized than any
other article of food. Far more easily
digested than such animal foods as
meat, Ash, etc, in place Of which milk
products find their logical place in
the diet.
Not only is milk more readily and
completely digested, but the same
amount of nutritive material can be
obtained for less money in milk than
in any other animal foods, according
to Dairy and Food Commissioner w.
B. Barney.
A table is being sent out by Mr..
Barney showing the relative values
of number Of common foods as COM
pared with milk. In the quantities
stated each contains the same amount
of nutritive material as one quart of
milk.
The cereal products are. in the raw
state. the cheapest food stuffs we can
buy, but many of the products manu-
featured from these cereals would not
be so generally used were their cost
compared with milk. Consider. for
example. the widely advertised pre-
pared breakfast foods. II takes from

three-quarters Of pint Of cream with
which they are served at the break
fast table. The quart Of milk costs
the housewife about eight cents.
whereas the breakfast food requires
the expenditure Of from 10 to 20 cents
for a package While the raw cereal
products such as corn meal, etc. are
indeed cheap foods for furnishing
energy, they do not contain appreci-
able amounts of protein. On the
other hand, more than IS percent

COW ON TRACK, TRAINS ARE FIELD
 THIRTY MINUTES
Unruly Animal Climbs Steps to Viaduct After Escap-

Unruly bulls and cows were dis turbing element about the city Sat urday and Sunday. As a result of an unusual episode that occurred at the Union street viaduct of the New Ha- ven road, where a COW mounted a flight of steps and held up all trains for a period of 30 minutes, steps are being taken by railroad officials to prevent a recurrence.
 / Following the usual practice of un- loading animals for slaughter in Bridgeport at the Water street pens, a COW was led by her owner towards the city slaughter house. At Water and Wall streets the COW broke her fastening and ranA back to Union. thence towards the Naugatuck docks and as pursuit was close she climbed the wide stairway leading to the sig nal tower. She appeared at the shanty window just in time for a sur prised signalman to throw signals against an approaching express.
 While the owners and members of track and train crews extricated her from the cross-ties and drove her down the switching ramp all train service was held up. The COW broke away a second time but was captured and made fast in the ward of the I Sprague Meter Go. before she had done any damage.

POPE BENEDICT DEPLORES
 INHUMANITY OF WAR, SAYS CARDINAL GASPARRT

Rome, May 31.-Cardina1 Gasparri, Papa1 Secretary of State, is quoted by Rome newspapers to the effect that Pope Benedict, while maintaining strictest neutrality, dep1ores the anti Christian and inhumane- aspects of the war.
 In the absence of satisfactory evil dence of an impartial nature the Pope is unable to pass judgment on charg- es of improper conduct of the war made on both sides. The Pope is represented as cherishing the belief that the conclusion of -hostilities may be hastened by a greater degre eof humanity on the part of both sides, by partial renunciation of claims and by keener sympathy for suffering.
