SMELL OF. COOKING GREENS
This Little Weed Makes Appetixing
Dish That Reminds Man Of
Childhood Days.

The story is told (how true we cam
not say) of an American who, while liv-
ing abroad, found himself without
money. The thought occurred to him
that. since human nature is the same
the world over, IL he could originate q
new food which should tickle the pal
ate and become popular, his fortune
would be made. He forthwith set to
work and shortly the public was in
formed of a new and perfectly deli
cious salad. 1t was tasted, approved,
eagerly sought after. and presto, the
man who originated 1t became a mil
lionaire. What was this wonderful new
dish? Dandelion salad. IL you please.
1t was garnished and favored, and
withal was so piquant that no one rec
ognized the common weed so ruthless
ly trodden underfoot, or ignominiously
pulled by the ears by that same Ameri-
can when at home.
We love the dandelion. There is q
tender spot in our hearts for this
bright, CHEEKY flower, which lifts its
golden eye steadfastly to the sun and
braves with undaunted courage our
most inclement weather. The dande-
lien carries us hack to childhood as no
other flower in the garden. however
beautiful. To see 1t every springtime
is to turn the key lin memory's
wards" The smell of the dish of dan
delion greens cooking is more fragrant
to our nostrils than all the spices Of
Araby the blest. They transport us to
the old New England home and the old
New England kitchen.-Countryside

Germans Now Using Their under-esa
eoats to strew Mines for
Enemy WarshIps.

Mines have always been laid in the
sea by vessels especially equipped for
that purpose. The warning powers OF
Europe have built submarines to kill
and destructive engines of warfare
they have proved to be.
The Germans have recently utilized
submarines Or smine-laying. That re-
port has not been rife long. but az
far as anyone can learn 1t is authen-
tic. Laying mines by this means would
not be impossible. and It is very prob
able that it il being done in war zone
waters today. The mines themselves
are carried on the submarine. A hol-
low. alright compartment contains
the mines; the chamber. or compart-
ment, is vertical. and the mines are
placed one above the other In the in
closure. The submarine then sallies
forth With its death-dealing load.
When the area designated for the
mines is reached and a mine is to be
laid, the mine-layers let water into the
chamber. The door which seals the
bottom of the chamber is in the ex-
terror shell Of the submarines hull.
This door is opened, and one after an.
other the mines are liberated from
their submarine prison. They are not
simply dropped into the ocean as one
might drop a stone; placing them prop
erly takes care and skill and special
appl Nlces.
Each mine has its anchor, which
goes to the bottom. The so-called AN.
chorage cable" is manipulated in such
a way that it allows the mine to float
from its anchor at q certain specified
depth below the top of the water.
The complete secrecy insured by
mine-laying in this method would ap-
peal particularly to any belligerent, be
cause the more secret mine-laying can
be kept the more perilous 1t is to the
foe.

THIS POEM IS OFTEN QUOTED
"out Where the West Begins" Seems
to Have Touched Mems Hearts
All Over the World.

In the American Magazine is an &C
count Of Arthur Chapman, q Denver
newspaper man, whose poem, entitled
"Out Where the West Begins" ap-
peared in the Denver Tribune in 1910.
Chapman has been reminded of his
poem ten thousand times since. For
the verses were just starting on the
grand tour that has made them the
most popular bit of fugitive verse since
Riley was in his prime. The New
York Sun, which has always had an
eye alert to the merits of Chapman's
column, ran next week Out Where the
West Begins Since then almost
every paper Of consequence in the
country has repeated the little poem.
The verses have crossed the Pacific
to Australia and Hongkong. and the
Atlantic to England. All over the West
you may find the poem pinned on walls
and pasted in scrapbooks. It hangs In
the office Of the secretary Of the in
terror at Washington. It has been
quoted several times on the floor of
the house of representatives and may
be dug out Of the files of the Congress
sional Record. At least two governors
Arthur Capper of Kansas and John
B. Kendrick of Wyoming-have used
Out Where the West Begins as cam
paign material. High school boys de-
claim it when they are graduated. and
elocutionists fling it at the head of
their audiences. Enterprising firms
have got it out on their advertising as
souvenirs. You may pick it up on
postal cards at curio stores and find 1t
on sofa pillows and birch bark orna-
ments.

Russia's Vast TimberIand,

total amount Of standing timber is al
most equal to that of the United States
and Canada combined, about 1,005 ,I24,-
600 acres. not inclusive of unsurveyed
lands. A comparatively small proper
ton Of this cumberland has been

railroads which are now build
ing several are designed for the

The department of canals and water
ways is also actively engaged in fur

Used Rib to Patch Her Skull.

Miss Elenora Appel, eighteen years
old, of Granite City, was reported to be
recovering at st. Luke's hospital from
an unusual genealogical operation.
Miss Appel underwent an operation
three years ago in which part of her
skull was removed. The flesh that
grew over the opening began to press
upon the brain and she suffered great
mental strain.
Two weeks ago the girl was taken
to the hospital. Parts of two of her
ribs were removed and cut to fit the
fissure in the skull. They began to
knit, and the operation is declared
wholly successful.-St. Louis Post Dis

President, Not Public, Must Act.

Frequently announcements have
been sent from Washington to the ef-
feet that President Wilson is dis.
pleased with certain stories purporting
to define his attitude regarding men or
policies. Yet, more frequently. the un-
challenged assertion goes forth that
the president will not adopt certain
obvious policies until pronounced
public demand for them is manifest.
We have yet to hear Of any reproof
from the White House for the authors
of this latter class Of stories. But
surely they are inaccurate. The first
Democratic president inaugurated
since 1896 does not regard himself as
subject to the initiative. referendum
and recall. He does not consider him
self a messenger, commissioned to
carry out what might have been the
will of the people four years ago. with
out regard to changed conditions.
