"Instead, he called up to the road

"Why does not Lord Davenport, the
food controller, utilize the services OF
the American ambassador as a food
demonstrators" asks Sir Edward Rus
sell, editor Of the Liverpool Daily Post,
in one of his weekly letters in his pa
per. Continuing Sir Edward says:
"Mr. Page may not be a fluent speak

just get him talking at dinner about
how to cook vegetables. He does not
pretend to conceal his disgust with the
way in which English cooks mishandle
vegetables. But he is not a critic only,
for he has his practical remedies. He
will pour out to a bewildered hostess

Brown is a most accommodating man

arrest a simple matter.
Brown had visited the home of
James Fleming frequently. Several
articles were missed and suspicion
pointed to him. He gathered with
the family one evening for a friendly
chat and proudly exhibited a pair OF
handouts he had purchased.
"Show us how they work." said
Mrs. Fleming.
Simple, just like this" said Brown,
and he accidentally locked them.
Wen call the police to unlock
them for you," said Mrs. Fleming.

jovially.
And when the police came, Mrs
Fleming told the police not to unlock
them until she had put a charge OF

YELLOW BANANAS NOT RIPE
Reach That Stage When Peel Turns
Golden Hue and Begins to SpeckIe
on Brown Shades.

Bananas have a higher caloric value
than any of our other common fruits.
Unlike most other fruits they are al
ways in season.
Such is the first conclusion come to
by Drs. Victor G.. Myers and Anton r..
Rose, after q careful analysis of
bananas and of their effects upon per-
sons fed with them. The studies were
made at the Laboratory of PATHOLOGY
cal Chemistry, New York Post-Gradu-
ate Medical School and Hospital, and
the report is published In the Journal
of the American Medical association.
But the bananas must be ripe, and
bananas as generally sold are not
nearly ripe. A yellow banana is not
ripe. "When the yellow Of the peel
turns q golden hue and begins to
speckle on the brown shades, it may
safely be considered fully ripe" says
the report, land the spread of the
brown discoloration does not condemn
the fruit as over-rlpe as long as the
pulp inside shows no signs of fermen.

Spread Salt on Streets.

Common coarse salt, when properly
applied to dirt roads, quite success
fully allays dust during the dry months
of summer, according to Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The scheme has
been tried In many places where 1t OBJ
viates the need of street sprinkling.
The salt is scattered over the road sur
face with the aid of a lime spreader.
The natural affinity of calcium chlor-
ide, which is present In salt, for mois-
ture keeps the thoroughfares fairly
free from dust ever during very dry
periods. The material is applied at
intervals of about six weeks at q COM
paratively low cost. To obtain good
results. however, it is necessary that
the salt should have an opportunity
to become thoroughly mixed with the
dirt before encountering a heavy rain.

Andover Students sharpshooters.

Two years ago Andover academy in
stalled five targets in the basement of
n of its buildings, and these ranges
have since been in constant use during
the free hours of the school. Even
before war was declared some 400
boys were taking part in military train
ing in place of the required gymnasium
work, and the members of the athletic
teams participated in this, though al
lowed at that time also to continue
with their special athletic training. At
the present time military training is
foremost. 1t is interesting to note two
things in his connection. One is that
very few of the boys at Andover-
notably the younger ones-are prevent
ed from taking part In the military
drill, which now has full sway, on ac-
count of the objection of parents. The
other is that Andover, in so far as rifle
shooting alone is concerned, anticipat-
ed the general war preparatory nov
ment in schools and colleges by con-
siderable time.

Is a soldier in a bathing suit a sol
der in uniform, in the eyes OF the
Federal law against the sale of intox-
icants to soldiers in uniforms?
This question has been put up to
Department of Justice agents here.
The question arose out of charges
that soldiers have been donning bath
ing suits, getting them wet, and then
going across to saloons to quench
their thirst.
Saloon keepers claim they are un-
able to distinguish between soldiers
and citizens when they wear bathing
suits.

POINTS WAY TO
LASTING PEACE
8aIfour Approves Wilson's Plan
for World Federation.
ENTENTE WILL FIGHT on
Prime Requisite For Discussion OF
Peace-As President Lays Ground
Work, Entente VIII Try To
Weaken Germany.

washington.-England has pointed
the way to President Wilson for con-
tinuing his work toward q lasting
peace.
In the supplementary communication
forwarded to this Government from
Lord Balfour. oficials have drawn the
following conclusions:
The Entente 10 fighting to prevent
future aggression.
She feels President Wilson can do
much toward evolving some plan for
an international preventive force to
limit future wars, and by intimation
has conveyed the suggestion that he
pursue this course.
While the President Is working out
this plan and gaining sympathy for II
rs one Of the prime requisites for gen.
eral peace discussion, the Entente
will fight on in an effort to crush. or
ut least weaken the military power
and prestige Of her enemies,
Balfour. II is pointed out, lays para,
mount importance on the necessity for
hating future aggressors He says. in
fact, that while territorial readjust-
ments sought by the Entente Powers
might allay future danger somewhat,
they would provide no sufficient
security" against recurrence Of war.
Such security, he concludes, Is pos
sible only with some form Of interna-
tional sanction" to stand behind inter
national law and treaties for prevent
Ing or limiting hostilities.
Balfour's communication Is held to
be a suggestion that President Will
sons sphere OF activity for the pres
ent at least should be limited to laying
the ground work for some such inter-
national force.
In the meantime the Entente re
avows It's purpose to remove or weak
en- existing auses Of international
unrest" In Europe and attempt to
create popular dissatisfaction over
methods pursued by the Central
Powers.
Balfour admits the dificulty In ac-
completing these aims but declares .
durable peace possible only in their
fulfllment. fortified by joint action Of
civilized nations to enforce peace, once
II Is attained.
President Wilson favors use Of both
arms Of the countries defense to In
sure peace. In spite OF recent reports
that he felt such a league should be
armed with only moral suasion.
Some time ago the President pictur.
esquely described to some friends his
ideas on the subject by saying he IA
vored an international "peace patrol"
Of sufficient strength to say mo" when
war threatened and to show the
would-be aggressor that the mo- car.
ried q bite with It."
The President continues to hold this
opinion Of the character OF such Q
league Of nations should assume, but
Is open-minded on details.
His next step in the peace game may
be n looking to q union such as he
advocates.
