Study OF the science or art OF cook
Ing received great impetus I'm the will
OF Mrs. Marie Zinsser. which has Just
been filed In the surrogate's court I'm
New York city. To three granddaugh-
tiers the testatrix left $1,000 each pro-
vided they can cook a meal under con-
ditions specified by her Miss Ellen
Zinsser. another granddaughter, quail
fed for u $4,000 reward before the
death of her grandmother.
The other grandchildren, who are the
daughters OF DR.. Hans Zinsser, a pro-
lessor Of Columbia university, arc Miss
Peggy Zinsser. a student at Smith col
lege; Miss Helen Zinsser of Bryn Mawr
college and Miss Margaret Zinsser,
nine years old, who lives at home with
her father.
Mrs. Zinsser provided In her will
that III for any reason either OF the
granddaughters mentioned failed to
comply with the requirements of the
test set down by her the share of
such beneficiary should become part
Of the residuary estate, which is left
to three sons.
DR.. Zinsser said that he was not
quite certain what the specifications
drawn by his mother called for I'm the
way OF meal and referred inquirers
to his brother. August Zinsser. Tho
latter's wife kindly furnished the in
formation that the meal by which the
young women must earn their $4,000
legacles Is to be Just a plain sort Of
repast In the way OF proof that the
girls have not neglected the domestic
sciences.
According to letter from Mrs. Zins.
ser to Miss Ellen Zinsser, now Junior
at Smith college, and which Is men
toned In tn, will. each girl must pre-
pare the meal while wearing n dress
Of her own making. The test may be
made at any time between the ages
seven and twenty-one, and there mus
be three disinterested persons invited
to the meal to act as judges OF the
cooking.
Miss Ellen Zinsser chose n chicken
dinner as her test and invited a dozen
guests. She was only seventeen then,
but was permitted to receive not one
word OF advice either as to the mar
keting Of the food or its preparation

RIVER OF GASOLINE.
Almost 100000, 900 Gallons Will Be
Used In United States This Year

Almost 2,ooo, 100000 Gallons Will Be
Used In United States This Year.
We will consume In this country this
year almost 1000, 600, 900 gallons OF gas
oline, which. says the Popular Mechan-
les Magazine, is the equivalent Of a
stream six feet wide and one foot deep
flowing at the rate OF one mile an
hour. Five years ago gasoline retailed
at 30 cents In England and from 40
to 70 cents on the continent, and there
are those who even predict forty cent
gasoline here some day.
There is also a strong probability
that with the reconstruction and re-
sumption OF business abroad at the
close OF the war consumption there
will be much greater than now.
Horses will be scarce and time Will
be everything, and the motor truck will
receive a great impetus. Just how
long the present oil wells will continue
to produce or when and where new
oil fields will be discovered no one
can say with certainty. Before that
day arrives, however, It Is fair to ex-
pect that chemists will have found
some substitute or inventors a method
OF making one gallon do the work OF
more.

B0L0 MAY REPLACE
SWORD OF MARINES
Latter a Military Heritage of Lit
tie Value In Present Day
Warfare.

Another step in the constant evOlu-
ton OF warfare comes with the con-
sideration OF the adjustment OF swords
as side arms for officers OF the United
States marine corps. Perhaps the last
military heritage OF the days OF chiv
airy, the sword, because OF It's cumber-
some length and virtual uselessness in
modern combat. is to be supplanted by
the Philippine bolo knife.
The bolo came into prominence dur.
Ing the Aguinaldo instruction OF 1900,
when It was used very effectively on
the American troopers by the natives.
The blade OF the bolO is about fifteen
inches long and u wider and sharper
than that OF the ordinary broadswor6
II also has two edges.
Officials OF the equipment factory Of
the marine corps say that though they
heard OF the proposed change OF arms
they have as yet received no orders for
the countermandlng OF the swords.
The bolos will probably be made at
the Frankford arsenal, Philadelphia,
from Philippine models.

Merchants May Sell Only Certain
Quantity Of Foodstuffs TO Foreign Ma
tions-Priees Fixed on Foods For
Domestic Consumption, but Not on
Foods For Export.
Holland has placed humping wood
en- shoe on the high cost OF living
She has successfully curbed domestic
food prices despite the fact that the
foreign demand upon her stocks OF eat
ables f. enormous. She has conquered
the problem that besets America to-
day. How the Dutch have not only
preserved their neutrality, but a rea-
sonable scale of living was described
by Edwin w. Thompson, United States
commercial attache for Germany and
Holland. Mr.. Thompson is In Amer
lea now to confer with officials Of
commercial associations concerning
foreign trade opportunities now and
after the war. The attache declared
that neither Germany nor Holland
was In a position to manufacture
any quantity OF commercial articles
at this time TO be dumped" on the
American market at low prices when
peace returns.
Enormous purchases of Hollands
foodstuffs were contracted for by Ger
many at eIorbitant prices after the
outbreak OF the war;" said Mr.. Thomp-
son. I'm keen competition came the
buyers OF the allies This noturalIv
forced up the prices OF all eatables,
and the wealthy folk OF Holland were
In fair way to become weather., and
the poor were facing starvation.
But the Dutch government saved its
poor from suffering and did not termi-
nate the profit making of the rich. The
minister of agriculture began issuing
weekly bulletins, which Informed pro.
ducers and middlemen just what per
cent OF their output could be exported
during the next seven days. Also the
bulletin fixed the retail prices OF all
articles OF food within Hollands Dor
ders, and these prices have risen only
slightly over the rates before the war
Butter, cheese, cabbages, caulifow-
er, potatoes, meats and fish are all sub
