What we need in the small city Of

in Germany. The same price is fixed
for both rich and poor. Let John Dill

ROBERTSON'S HEALTH SQUAD
IS OFF ON DIET DEAL
They're off. Doc. RObertson's
health squad, testing out a diet to
cost 40 cents a day, started this
morning on the two weeks test.
The start consisted of fresh apples,
liver and bacon, mullins, butter and
coffee. This noon they will eat cod
fish, creamed or baked; corn bread,
butter and cocoa.
And their evening meal was fig
ured as follows: Vegetable soup, pot
roast, sauted parsnips, cranberry
sauce, rice and raisin pudding and
tea.
There are six women and six men
in the squad, all employees of the
health department. During the test
they will work regularly; their only
restriction will be against eating
anything besides the meals prepared
for them at the School of Domestic
Arts and Science. Tobacco and gum
will be allowed.

Making House Entrance Attractive.

To one who must watch expenses
carefully, the solution of the entrance
to the grounds of the country house is
often a difficult task. When one can
afford to employ the services of
landscape architect the problem is, of
course, simplifled.
The guiding spirit here, as in the
structural features of the house itself,
should be to create an entrance simple,
attractive, substantial and in harmony
with the surroundings.
Stones are generally easy to procure
in the country; therefore stone pillars
with durable gate between make an
attractive entrance, within reach of
even the limited purse.
Growing vines and flowers will add
greatly to the general attractiveness
Of this approach and furnish the con-
meeting link between entrance anf
grounds

Vegetable Ashes.

Do not throw away any vegetable
ash, for all ashes have a decided gar
den value. Some seem to have the
impression that trashy material re-
turns ashes Of little worth, but the re-
verse is often true. Ashes from cotton
hulls have shown as much as 80 per
cent of potash and sold for $40 ton
Some weeds would prove equally rich.
In addition there is always some phos-
phOric acid and heavy per cent of
lime. That most precious element, nj
trogen, however, was all burned out,
therefore these substances would
prove Of greater value If allowed to
decompose in the soil rather than be
destroyed by combustion. Ashes of de-
ciduous trees, being nearly all hard
woods. are of more value than those
from evergreens, for the latter are
nearly all conifers-pines, expresses,
etc.

INVITES AND PROTECTS BIRDS
Massachusetts City Has Common
Sense Plan of Guarding the Trees
on Its Streets.

The town of Brookline, Mass, Is
teaching the country at large valu-
able lesson. First of all, of course,
Brookline had to learn the lesson for
itself. The town priced its trees, and
sought by the usual means to guard
them against the attack of insect
pests. The campaign, however, was
not entirely successful. The leopard
moth invaded Brookline, and against
this tree enemy poisonous sprays avail
little. Birds alone can hold it in check
SO Brookline, a few years ago. went
seriously about the business of induc-
ing birds to come and stay. In 1910
it wanted woodpeckers, and it issued
its invitation, but only few respond
ed. Three years later Brookline had
learned enough through experiment to
Justify the municipality in building
and placing 100 nesting boxes.
That was the beginning; year by
year since then the work has been ex-
banded. The nesting boxes increased
in number and variety, and during the
winter thousands of birds were fed
daily at 125 municipal feeding sta
tons, operated by the town author
tiles at the public's expense And now,
says a report from BroOkline, "the
plans for the securing of bird help in
insect destruction will be carried on
during the coming season with greater
determination than ever"

He saw that she was greatly
moved-that she was soul-tortured,
half frantic. And he had not the heart
to deny her any solace, no matter
where she might turn for It.
II know how you feel" he said land

it."
Her heart went out to him in graft
tude because he had understood.
ooh, thank you, Larry! Thank you!
Now, tell me-what am to do? Where
shall be sent? Shall be with you?'
She hoped that it would be so.
"No, my dear-not with me-" he ex-
planned. "My Job will be inside the
German lines-perhaps in their very
army"
His answer struck chill Of fear in
to her-for she could feel fear for him.
But that's impossible!" she ex.
claimed incredulously. "You would be
caught at once"
ooh, I think notw he treasured her.
THE plan is all arranged-every de-
tail-since before l went away. Now
It's only for me to carry it out. But
you can't be with me-"
Her disappointment was obvious.
But what shall l do?" she asked
doubtfully.
THAT We'll see. But somehow we'll
be working together"
"For king and country" she ex-
claimed, holding out her hand to him.

after her, as he took her slight hand in
his own strong one.

hand she had hastily dropped just as
Brewster threw open the double doors,
she said, when the pseudo butler had
gone, II may gain some very impor-
tant information from this man. can't
explain more than that now. Will you
wait in that roomY She indicated a
door leading into smaller room ad-
joining her sitting room.
Yes, my dear-God keep you" Cap
tain Redmond answered. And he at
once proceeded to carry out her wishes.
Ethel breathed rapid prayer as she
heard Streetman already mounting the
stairs.
"Oh, help me to be brave! Help me
to be clever-for Larry and for Eng
land" She turned then to meet the
man who had betrayed her, and
against whose wits she had now I'M
dertaken to match her own.

England Is not involved in the war,
then Churchill alone is responsible for
his action and his public career will be
ended. If England goes to war; then
the English navy has gained at once
an early and tremendous advantage"
But it means that Churchill believes
England will fight" Ethel said.
THAT England will have to fight"
Sir George, corrected her.
"Then the fleet-it did not disperse ?"
she questioned. "Where has it gomez"
Sir George saw no reason for telling
them half truths.
"The most powerful fleet the world
has ever known has gone to the North
sea to the Kiel canal to bottle up the
German navy, and that it will do, I'm
certain. With the bulk of the German
fleet unable to come out, we'll prove
once again that Britannia does rule the
waves"
His words thrilled everyone of them.
"And there's really going to be WARP

George continued slowly. 1--WE shall

50 HELPS
WOULD GUARD AGAINST FIRE
National Board of Underwriters
Urges Greater Care in the Con-
struction of Dwelling.

Realizing the large annual losses
sustained by thousands of home own
ers through construction which tends
to spread fires instead of retarding
them, the committee on construction
Of buildings of the national board of
fire underwriters has issued a book
let of 115 pages on methods of in
creasing the fire-resistive qualities of
dwellings, says Engineering Record.
Builders everywhere, especially in To-
calities outside the control OF build
ing ordinances (and by far the ma
jority of ordinary dwellings are built
in such localities), will find valuable
information in this presentation of
methods for making houses reasonably
safe from fire. Particularly import
ant, not only for builders, but for
owners and the general public, are
the sections devoted to floor and roof
construction; chimneys, flues, smoke
pipes and fireplaces; fire stopping
and general precautions for fire pro-
lection.
Generally recognized dangers from
such old offenders as single roofs,
unlined chimneys, unprotected stair
ways and shafts are strikingly Illus
trated, and many simple and effective,
while relatively inexpensive, devices
in construction which retard the
spread of fire are clearly explained.
Every potential house owner will find
it profitable to become familiar with
these building precautions, which may
prevent loss of life as we'll as of prop
erty. Engineers, through their posi-
tons in building departments and
their participation as plain citizens in
civic associations, chambers Of COM
merce and similar organizations. can
let it be known that ordinary dwell
ings can readily be improved as to
their fire-resistive qualities, and can
direct interested parties to the proper
source of information.

For King and Country

EOI tNIIi9 anu
Captain Redmond was the first to
break the ensuing silence.
Good God! Then it's come at lastw
he cried in q ringing voice.
"And the fleet! What Of the English
fleet" Ethel Willoughby exclaimed, as
her quick mind turned inevitably to
that most vital factor of Britain's de-
Tense. 1t was pure patriotism that
prompted her question. For the mo-
ment all thought of Henry Streetman
and his constant importuning vanished
completely from her reckoning.
Sir George swept the little company
with rapid glance.
"You are all practically members Of
my family-at least l regard you as
SUCH" he said. Redmond, you are an
officer in his majesty's service-what
l say is in absolute confidence"
Larry stood stifHy at attention.
"Of course, Sir George" he an
swered.
Then Sir George told them what
Henry Streetman would have given
his soul to know.
"Winston Churchill went to Ports
mouth this morning. The British feet
sailed this afternoon under sealed or
ders and Churchill has offered his
resignation as first lord of the admi.
rally"
At that terse statement Ethel VIII,
loughby sank slowly upon chair. In
their excitement the others did not no.
tice her agitation. Nor could they have
interpreted it had they OWNED it.
Something in the manner of an inspira.
ton had come. to her-a scheme, plot
stroke of genius perhaps. At all
events, she saw in a flash how she
might yet serve her country in a man
ner that is granted to few women-oI
even men.
Meanwhile Captain Redmond pom.
dered upon Winston Churchill's pc
culiar action.
But why, Sir George-why" he
asked.
Because he had no authority from
parliament to give such orders. II

SYNOPSIS.
=

Georgy Wagstaf. daughter of Sir
George. OF the British admiralty, hints at
a liaiSon between her governess, Ethel
Willoughby, and Henry Streetman. Ethel
denies it. Henry Streetman calls on Ethel
and while waiting for her talks to Brews-
ter, Sir Georges butler, who is q German
spy, about his failure to get at admiralty
papers in Sir Georges possession. He
phones to German secret service head
quarters. Streetman, the German spy, and
Roeder (aliaS Brewster, the butler) are
discussing the possibility of war. When
Ethel appears ze tries to force her to get
from Sir George knowledge of the sailing
orders to the British fleet. Though she
believes him French instead of Ger
man spy, she refuses until he threatens
her. She begs him to announce their Sc
cret marriage, as Georgy is suspicious,
but he puts her off. At tea Georgy and
her lover. Guy FulConer, tease Sir George,
and Streetman makes an awkward at
tempt to talk politics. Streetman, the
German spy, Sir George Wagstaff, British
naval official, Ethel Willoughby. secret
wife of Streetman, and others are having
tea at the Wagstaff home. The party is
discussing a play. Charlie Brown, news
paper man of New York, entertains the
Gea party with his views on the threat
ened war in Europe. Guy Falconer de-
clares that II war comes he will go to
Cuba. His mother and Sir George reprove
him Charlie says Guy Is spoofing. Capt
Larry Redmond Of the Irish Guards calls
on Ethel. The two had been undeclared
towers She tells him of her marriage and
he tells her Streetman is a German spy
with family in Berlin.

she told him with a dry sob.
II should never have gone away; or
having gone, should never have come
back-to make you suffer like this" he
said with bitter self-reproach. 1t hurt
him terribly to see her so torn by her
emotions. "There, there, my dear!
Don't cry" he said, patting her arm
with the tenderness Of a woman.
ooh, let me! Let mev' Ethel cried,
for the blessed vent Of tears had come
to her at last. "Oh, Larry, why
couldn't it have been differently"
Faith, don't know, my dear! But
now with you and me It's only dream
of what might have been-and we
must forget" he comforted her
bravely.

conviction of man who would always
do right. I'VE love each other too
much to be mOre--or less-than the
best of friends"
From the hall outside, voices came
TO their ears. And Ethel had scarcely
dried her tears before their friends
had returned to claim them for the din
ner party.
Great Scottr' Guy Falconer ex-
claimed as he came upon them. "Still
Ginning, you two2 You never talk to
ne as long as that"' he told Georgy
Wagstaff with mild reproach.
You're not so interesting as Cap
tain Redmond" she retorted with the
cruelty of insolent eighteen.
"Well, admitting that" Guy said, for
he never plunged voluntarily into an
argument with Georgy, admitting
chat, I've seats for the Palace and
we've telephoned to Richmond for a
table. So let's hurry"
II don't think can go, after al"
Ethel told them then. She knew that
she was in no condition for the banter
ing give and take of dinner-table con-
FerSation.

disappointment And "Oh, Ethel! Don't

While they were trying to persuade
Ethel to join them, Sir George Wag-
staff entered the room. He had heard
their voices as he was passing through
ihe hall on his return from his hurried
visit to the admiralty. And since he
had news that he knew would prove
ST great interest to them he had
topped on his way to his own quar-
tars.
"By Jove, Redmond! I'm glad to see
