drinks FOR SUMNER DAYS
Delicious Cooling Beverages That Are
at the Command Of Practically
Every Housewife.

Grape Juice is an excellent founda'
ton for variety of delicious drinks,
and has the advantage Of being
healthful. It is much more economical
to put up your own grape juice each
year, but if you have not done this q
case of small bottles does not come
high.
Grape juice and lines make one of
the most deliciOuSly cooling Of summer
drinks Pour into tall glass three or
four fingers of grape juice, add the
juice of two lines and q slice Of the
"a sparkling water is preferable
serve ice cold.
Grape juice and lemonade make
good combination.
A ginger ale and cold tea punch is a
novel drink that is very good. SWeeten
half a pitcher of cold tea, add the juice
Of lemon and several sprigs of mint.
Keep on ice and at the last minute pour
in bottle of ginger ale. This should
not stand before serving, as the ginger
ale will lose it's sparkle. A rather
strong and not too sweet ginger ale
should be used for this punch.
Iced cafe au lait is the best drink to
serve if the luncheon is very light, and
little extra nOurishment is wanted.
To make it properly-and it seldom is
made properly-it should be carefully
blended, mixing the coffee and milk
we'll together and sWeetening to taste.
It is better, if possible, to use a sugar
strip to sweeten it. Stand on the ice
until ready to serve and then add
little thick cream to each glass and
enough cracked ice to fill the glass. For
the sWeeter varieties Of soft drinks,
milk shakes and fruit sirups may be
used.
TO make a milk shake fill a glass
two-thirds full of milk; sWeeten it to
taste with any fruit strip or with
little of some strained preserve, if you
have not the sirup. Fill the glass with
cracked ice and shake together until
we'll mixed.
Fruit sirups can be made from straw
berries, raspberries, cherries or cur
rants. Cook quart Of fruit with a
pint of water until we'll softened, then
strain and press out the juice through
Il heavy cloth. When cold, sweeten and
dilute to taste, and serve in tall
glasses filled with cracked ice.

One Glance Was Enouqh.


Charley Towne, the magazine editor
and poet, was once asked to act as
the judge of prize-story competition,
open to all aspirants.
He consented.
From the publishing house conduct
ing the contest huge burden of man
uscripts was brought to him. Select
ing bulky envelope at random, he
opened it and withdrew from it q
great number of sheets of foolscap
covered on both sides of the pages
with fine writing, done in purple ink
and in q feminine hand.
Afterward, following his prompt
resignation from the job of Judge
Mr.. Towne forgot the title of the
story; but the opening sentence ling
cred in his memory. It was as fol-
lows:
"'The day the ball was to be that
night daWned auspiciously."

Her Secret.

A witness, jolly, plump old WON
an, in trial in the supreme court OF
Massachusetts, was asked what time a
certain train Of cars passed her house
She replied that she began knitting a,
three o'clock and had knit twice
around the leg of stocking before il
came along.
The next question, Of course, was
how long it would take her to knit
twice around. The Judge here, in his
usual quiet humor, suggested that that
would depend upon the size of the
stocking.
To this the witness remarked that
the stocking was for herself and they
could exercise their own Judgment as
to the size, and guess how long il
would take.

otto sentiments Of citizens of other
lands. Approximately 1900 miles Of
films pass before the censorship board
annually. About ten per cent of these
films are rejected entirely and great
part Of the remaining is revised BY
cutting out Objectionable scenes. OF
the films that remain, about so per
cent must not be shown to children.
1t might be concluded that this rigid
censorship Of films must be disastrous
to the film and moving picture busi-
ness in Sweden. This, however, does
not sem to be the case. New and we'll
equipped play houses are opened from
time to time. A recently constructed
picture theater in the capital city has
a seating capacity of 1000.
A congregation was organized at
Norrsjo, Vasterbotten, in 1911, and
by the end Of the first hundred yenrs
of it's life it will have built five church
buildings. Fire tells the whole story.
And this demon seems to come oftener
and oftener. During the years 1900
1911 the church was altered and put
in fine shape in every particular. In
1912 it was destroyed by fire. A large
building was then put up at a cost Of
G25,000, but this was burnt down even
before the interior fixtures were fin
ished. Now the congregation has
asked for permission to take up COL
lections in all churches in the country
to help put up the fifth church build

archbishop has recommended this plan

that were so poor that they needed
public aid.
The other day, there came petition
before the Swedish rigsdag that was
very interesting and significant. The
petitioners, who are farmers in the
district of Skaraborg, Vestergotland,
prayed that the government would ex'
tend as rapidly as possible the elec-
trio cables from the Trollhattan sta
ton and make the energy available for
all farmers in the district. In order
that farmers of less means should also
be able to have electricity for imple-
ments and other machines on the farm,
the farmers asked that the rigsdag
create a fund out of which loans rum
ming for 20 years at from 2 to 2 per
cent interest could be secured the
loans to be used to build lines to the
separate farms and to secure motors
and machinery. The farmers justified
their petition by reasons that prove
them to be remarkably enterpr' sing
and foresighted.

DEN MARK.

Perhaps none outside his immediate
family were more grief-stricken at the
news of Lord Kitchener's tragic death
than Queen Alexandra. The attentive
ness # the soldier to the queen moth
er had long been notable, and there
was very strong bond of sympathy
between these two, undoubtedly two
of the loneliest figures prominent in
contemporary London. Indeed, there
was something pathetic in the lonely
bachelorhood Of the war secretary, who
occasionally to his intimates dropped
remarks bearing on his lack Of home
and near relations. Not week passed
during the war in which he had not
paid visit to Marlborough house,
where he would remain for long Wis
its with Queen Alexandra, and come
away with long list of those COM
batants Of whom her friends had made
special inquiries. However pressing
the demands Of the campaigns on the
various fronts. he would always re-
turn within few days with the de.
sired information. Lord Kitchener
had promised to be the Queen-mother's
guest during the coming summer AT
Sandringham.

NORWAY.

Selehei is the name Of a rough,
swampy portion of Jaderen. It was
supposed to be absolutely worthless
for agricultural purposes. But
couple of courageous young men took
samples Of the soil to the experimental
station at Bergen, and received the
answer that the stuff was not so bad
as it's reputation. With the answer
came instructions for manuring and
working the ground. Now the young
men decided to spend $1,000 on this
forbidding piece Of ground. They OF
dered breaking pillow from America,
hitched five horses to it and started
blowing. The farmers of the neigh
borhood shook their heads, but the
way that pillow cut it's passage through
the country was a sight. In the mid
die of the tract of land was q six
acre lake. This was diverted to the sea
by means of a big ditch. Water seemed
to be oozing out Of the ground all
over, and a system of bitches had to
be dug. When this was done the
ground was left alone for one year to
be aired and dried. Sixty-ive acres
were put to small grain, and the crop
was magnif1cent-"grain as heavy as
lead" to use the expression Of our au-
thority. It was city man, Consul
Bjelland Of Stavanger who advised
the young men to try this experiment.
Now the farmers Of the neighborhood
have changed their minds about new-
tangled ideas in farming.
The Drammen steamer Willy saved
German marine soldier on it's way
from England to Drammen. He wac
found on a raft all alone. He told
that he had belonged to the German
cruiser Wiesbaden, which was sunk in
the great Skagerrak battle. The crew
consisted of 500 men. He-Zenna was
his name-and four others crept
on raft. For two days and nights
they had nothing to eat or drink.
Then the others could stand it no long
| er, and drank sea water. This made
them insane, and they threw them
selves into the sea. Thus he was left
alone. His feet were so swollen that
he could not stand up. and he could
not have lived many more hours IL he
had been left on the raft. The Willy
turned Zenna over to q Norwegian tor
pedo boat ut Farder, and now he must
be interned in Norway until the close
of the war. II he had gone with the

Germany at War"-a Aim panorama
of the siege of Verdun. the capture
and destruction of Douaumont. the
naval battle in the North sea and other
recent engagements of the kaiser's s
armies-had a private presentation at
the Empress Theater yesterday after
noon. A sense of personal presence in
the danger zone was conveyed by
bursting shells, the crumbling of forts,
towers and other strongholds and the
blowing up of bridges over which have
marched centuries of time. The de-
struction of monoplane by a Fokker
and the explosion of a French balloon
as 1t fell to the earth in flames gave
realistic conception of midair duels. and.
from military standpoint. nothing
more suggestive of battle front warfare
has been shown than the series of
scenes depicting the German cavalry
crossing the Meuse; an artillery ad-
vance, to which intrepid horsemanship
gave a thrill: an apparently endless
army bombarding its way to Verdun.

Women in Whirlwind Campaign
Against Senatorial Nominee.

Opening three-week whirlwind
automobile campaign designed to de-
feat Representative David j. Lewis OF
the sixth Maryland district in his race
for the senatorship, representatives OF
the Congressional Union for Women's
Suffrage held an ~open-air meeting in
front of the courthouse in Rockville
this afternoon. Several autos decorated
with suffrage colors carried the men,
bers of the party. the principal speaker
being Mrs. Minnie E. Brooke of Chevy
Chase.
A meeting is to be held tonight to
organize a Rockville branch of the
union. The union is endeavoring to
bring about Representative Lewis de-
feat because of his opposition to the
proposed federal amendment to the
Constitution granting suffrage to the
women of the entire United States.
