 Mrs. Diggs ought to be proud of him. T Well. yes. But she would probably have more respect for his ability as an explorer if she didn't have to find his hat for him nearly every time he leaves the house.

Japanese Up-to-Date

"The Japanese are certainly an up-to- date people, said Tom Ingersol, execu- tive secretary of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, who was in Br- mingham yesterday. @
 T remember once had some Japanese visitors at the real estate exchange represented, and when they left they asked me to forward them some informa- tion about the exchange. I promised to do so, and did. In return they were to send me certain information about their country. When their letter came, it was neatly typed in English, as my letter had been to them. And I just thought at the time that if we had been as up-to-date as we might be, we would have had all facilities for typing letter to them in Japanese, their own language. But we weren't"

Easy to Make a Noise

w. F. Wiley, editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, in addressing the editors of Ohio recently told story to illustrate a failing of many communities where there is too much talk and too little ef- feet.
 "A householder was dismayed one night by the sudden extinguishment of the elec- tric lights in his house. In little while it became apparent that the darkness would probably continue through the night unless the break could be located and corrected.
 Unable at that hour to secure the services of an expert electrician the householder hit upon the happy scheme of detaching the batteries from his door, bells and connecting them with his elec- tric feed wires. But no light resulted. Next day the experts came to remedy the trouble and seeing the hapless expedient of the owner remarked: 'E
 Don't you know that it takes 800 times more power to produce light than 1t takes to produce noise ,"

Featuring the Real News

''I'm rather close reader of newspa- pers," said Jere c. King yesterday, ''and I want to say that the Thursday morning issue of The Age-Herald was the best all around issue of a newspaper I have seen in many a day.
 "Of course, the big war story made the front page gripping. but the news was handled admirably.
 Turning to page I found that re- markable article of Dr. George Stuart on the condition of our unfortunate negroes in Pennsylvania. That is the kind of news I like to see featured because it is something that we should all know. It is pleasure to see real news properly presented. If I had my way the newspa- pers would put the police news down in some obscure corner To me it is the least important, and the least interesting of all. And yet some papers display it ahead of everything else"

Won Steuben and de kalb

New names have been given to two
of the seized German steamers, the
Kronprinz Wilhelm and the Prinz
Eitel Frederick. Our Government
gracefully names them Baron Won
Steubon" and Baron de Kalb." In
honor Of two good Germans, friends
of Washington. who fought In the
Continental army.
These names emphasize the fact
that America remembers and appre
ciates what was good In Germany,
before the present government so
misled the German people. Won
Steuben and de kalb were lovers of
liberty. The former became true
American. He preferred a log cabin
in this air of freedom, and never re-
turned to his native land though he
was baron there. De Kalh was born
in Bavaria, but was German. more
in name than in fact When he came
with Lafayette he had spent more
than thirty years in the French
army. AS general in the Revolu-
tion he made a good record, not a
brilliant one. At the battle of
Sanders creek, near Camden, S. c.,
in August, 1880, he fell mortally
wounded and died few days later.

A German View

Baron Won Stengel Is professor at
Munich, and is called the foremost
international lawyer. He is a per-
sonal friend and confidant of the
Kaiser, and was one Of the German
delegates to the Hague conference.
This Ia his answer to an invitation
from the Anti-War League of Hol-
land, to give his opinion on the sub
ject of II future peace conference:
ut would be completely super
fluous, because 1t is beyond all doubt
that the final and decisive victory
must rest and will rest with Germany.
Then we shall be in Il position to re-
strain all the enemies OF peace, and
to win and maintain permanent
peace; the only peace that will be as
sured, alike for ourselves and for all
civilized humanity. The war has DEM
onstrated, throughout its cOurce, that
we, the Germans, have been chosen
by Providence, from among all
earth's peoples, to put ourselves at the
head of all the civilized nations and
guide them to a sure peace under our
protection. For this we possess not
only the necessary power and force,
but also, in the highest degree, the
intellectual gifts requisite, and we
are the flower of the entire creations
Kultur. Consequently, it has been
reserved for us to do what no nation
hitherto has been able to do-to give
all the world peace.
From this it follows that 1t Is use
less to engage in any labors on be-
half Of peace, because we, the Ger
mans, with our domination over our
turbulent neighburs, shall assume
also the duty Of policing peace. We
shall be in n position to destroy In
the germ all hostilities to peace.
"Subjection to our guardianship,
which is in every sense superior to
any other, is the surest and the only
road to prosperity for every nation,
and especially for neutrals. The
best thing they can do is to unite vol
UNFAIRLY with US and rest on US. In
these times, SO difficult for those who
are isolated, it is proper and prudent
for them to unite themselves with
one powerful head. To make ones
self worthy Of a powerful hereditary
seigneur is to SOW seed for the future.
No people is richer in sentiment and
ideals than are we, the Germans.
Therefore, under our protection, all
international law is perfectly super
nuous; for our own national instinct,
we give each his own"

Preserve Fruits and Vegetables BY
DRYING

The general demand for ready
to-serve foods ia in large measure re-
sponsible for replacing the dried foods
with the canned product. That dried
foods are unavoidably darkened, aud
so slightly less attractive has been
given undue weight. This season it Is
highly desirable that housewives re-
sort to this less expensive method of
preserving fruits and vegetables.
The essentials In home drying are
cleanliness In handling the food and
in protecting it from unnecessary con-
tamination, permitting free circula-
ton of air, and utilizing heat to the
best advantage-avoid ver-heat-
ing, yet securing the rapid drying
that will lessen the opportunity for
fermentation. A general dire ction is
to stir frequently.
Home methods by which drying of
fruits and vegetables is well accom-
pIished are these:
Larger fruits and vegetables may
be cut into sections, strung and then
suspended in the sun or above the
stove to dry.
2. Food products prepared for dry
ing may be spread In a thin layer
on a white cloth and exposed to the
direct rays of the sun. Obviously.
food so exposed must be protected
from flies by a mosquito netting, or,
q very coarse cheese cloth serves as
better projection against smaller
insects and dust.
3. If one is SO fortunate as to have
an enclosure in glass where one may
secure the greater heat from this
concentration of the suns rays, then
the problem is greatly simplified.
4. Food may be dried in slow
oven with frequent stirring.
8. The process is much shortened
by evaporators, the product is less
darkened, and there is less opportun-
ity for the accumulation of dust. The
homemade evaporator may be con-
structed at a very slight expense.
Foods that are excellently preserv-
ed by drying are corn, string beans,
green peas and apples.
Corn should be steamed from ten
to fifteen minutes, long enough to set
the milk-then cut from the cob, and
spread thinly for drying by either
Of the methods just named. Unless
corn Is steamed at once when it is
gathered, it will lose much Of its nat
