C0RNBREAD IN THE. SOUTH
May BE Out Of Fashion North, But the
South Delights in Its Eternal
Virtues,

In response to Champ Clark's advice
that there should be greater use OF
corn as food, the epicure Of the New
York Sun makes this sage observation
concerning cornbread:
ut was well thought Of in this
country as human food 80, 40, perhaps
80 years ago. But in an unfortunate
day even poor folk began to neglect
corn. Dressed up as hominy it still
had certain popularity, parents were
willing that their children should eat
1t thus. Treated with baking powder.
salt, plenty Of rich cream and butter,
1t was still made into hot bread some
were not ashamed to eat"
This serves chiefly in this part OF
the country to show how little the
South and Southerners are computed
as a part Of the country, and how lit
tie they know in New York and other
supposed enlightened centers Of what
constitutes good eating.
It Is assuNdly not necessary to use
the past tense when corn as human
food is spoken Of In the South. Corn
bread is used preferably by thousands
Of well-to-do people Of the South, in
the cities and towns, as well as in the
rural sections.
We know the virtue in this region Of
the pone, the hot corn muffin and Of
"eggbread," which, If our brethren Of
the North ever knew, they are unfor-
tunate to have forgotten.-Nashville

PEAT AS COAL SUBSTITUTE:
Coming Much Into Favor In European
Countries Where Fuel Supply
Is Limited.

Europeans, paying unusually high
prices for coal, are turning to peat
as a substitute. Germany has been
Sweden's principal source Of supply,
and that source being cut off the state
railways in that country have been
forced to curtail their schedules.
Peat is VIGOROUSLY one. of the cheap
est-as it is one of the most abundant
of fuels. Lack of suitable furnaces
for its consumption has hampered it's
use as it did for a long time that Of
the crude Oil from the American pc
troleum fields. Recent experiments in
Sweden have proved that peat can be
made into cakes and used with econ
omy in proper burner.
A Maine man a few years ago Sc
cured patents for turning peat into
briquettes which would produce heat
as intense as that of charcoal and
could be produced as cheaply as BIZ
luminous coal, while the by-products
Of manufacture would further reduce
the cost. The great advantage Of the
fuel thus produced is that it burns
with little ash or smoke, that it is
clean to handle and can be used in a
stove or furnace about as wood is.
There are extensive peat beds all
over New England, and if this process
were put in operation the saving in
freight rates would make the peat
briquettes an economical form of fuel.

GREAT DAM IN ANTIPODES
New South Wales Structure Has
Catchment Area Of 5000,
Square Miles.

"The first large scheme for water
conservation purposes in New South
Wales Is now nearing completion"
says Canadian department Of COM
merce report. "Burrinjuck Dam, as it
Is named, is being constructed Of &C.
ment, Of which $4,000 teHs-a4anufac-
tured in New South Wales-has been
used up to date. The dam is being
placed in a narrow, rock gorge be-
tween hills 1000 feet high. It will
hold up the Murrumbidgee river for
Al miles and the Goodradigbee and
Yass rivers for L. and rs miles, re-
spectively. All these rivers were sub.
ject to floods and running dry previ-
ously, but now a constant supply Is
assured.
1.-THE catchment area is 5000 square
miles in extent, and some Of the peaks
in the mountain ranges are 5000 feet
high and are covered with snow in the
winter. The average rainfall is 60 to
20 inches.
''The dam will be 24O feet high and
1853 feet thick at the base, tapering to
Is feet thick at the top. The length
across at the crest will be 78O feet.
The water will be allowed to reach
top storage level Of 232 feet against
the dam, and it will be possible to
store 1880, 100000 gallons Of water.
Although the dam is not yet finished,
the water has been used extensively
for some time at the main area for
which it was principally intended and
which is known as the Yanko area
This area is situated 200 miles away
from the dam, and the water finds its
way there by the old bed Of the Muir
rumbidgee river. Many Of the farms
are now occupied, and it is estimated
that when the areas are fully settled
there will be about 1000 farms and the
population will be about 100000. Gov.

NEW REPUBLIC SAFE

WYE have never quite lost faith in
w the Russian people, altho under
their trying new experience at self
government they have made some seri-
GUS blunders.
Brought in day out of the darkened
prison house of Autocracy into the full
MONDAY of Liberty, is it any wonder
their eyes blinked and their steps wa
vered !
Yet one thing should always be kept
in mind, Democratic Russia as military
factor is less failure to the Entente
cause, poor as it may seem, than would
have been the treacherous government
Of the Car which they overthrow.
1t is now known that Nicholas was
about to conclude separate peace with
Germany when his overthrow occurred.
This would have been vastly more ca
lamitous to the Entente, since no Rus
sian army at allwould have been far less
a menace to Germany than an army
momentarily put out of commission by
broken and disorganized units whose
treason and cowardice had here and
there caused disaster, because this blum
dering and disunion may be remedied-
indeed, is being remedied.
If, as it is claimed, the double dealing
Nicholas knew of this ro-German trea-
son that was planning submission to
Germany, he should suffer the fate of
Louis XVI and pay for his folly and
treason with his head. Some angry pa
triots have already suggested this
course, and this peaceful Slav revolu-
ton may yet have that dramatic and
CORY sequel, for which both England
with her Charles the First as well as
France with her Louis XVI, have fur
nished suggestive examples.
