PLAZA

Have YOU seen "The Sidewalk Cab aret" at the Plaza this week? Not much time left and it's well worth what little time there is for in add1- tion to the fact that it is clever, classy and funny girl act, pair of our local favorites, Johnny Ross and Ruth Howard, are featured with the turn and they're great.
 Then there's another big reason why you'd enjoy yourself. Jones and Sylvester, the old-timers, late of "The Quartet" variety's highest-salaried singing organization, are on the Dill in their new idea, "The Huckster and the Actor They can sing just as gloriously as in days gone by and II you want good, hearty laugh, near Sylvester sing his 'sneezing song"
 Jim and Flo Bogart in clever It. tie singing and talkink sht, and the TWO Violets' in songs ana dance complete the vaudeville.
 Uncle sam's big military film, over Here" is an added feature attrac- ion. It is one of the greatest films of American interest ever released Ii shows what Uncle Sam is doing has done and is still able to do with hia vast resources of men and money and it shows it so convincingly tna' calamity howlers haven't leg t' stand on, so to speak
 Corinne Griffith in 'T Will Repay' completes the attractions.

ENGLISH WOMEN PERFECT
 NOVEL WAR SERVICE

The following excerpt from an ar ticle by Henry Rood in the December number of Everybody's presents new phase of the many-sided war work that English women have been called upon to perform:
 "In London, at midnight, scores of well-known women start away from their homes, each driving her own motor-car, and from that hour until two or three o'clock in the morning they cruise about the streets or the great city, certain cars allotted to cer- tain districts, looking for soldiers or sailors on leave, stragglers helpless from drink, or suffering from what ever cause. Man after man is pick ed up, taken into the automobiles and driven to haven provided TOT just such unfortunatcs.
 How many women are thus en- gagged at present I do not know, but a few months ago I was told that several hundred were then carrying on this unusual service, night after night, week after week, month after month, in all kinds of weather, at al seasons; and many of these womer belong to the highest families il England. There has not been a single report, thus far, of insult or injur! being offered these devoted women for all London knows who they ar' and what they are doing.

HOW HOUSEWIVES
 CAN HELP WIN WAR.

Washington, Dec 8-How the American housewife, like the soldiers at the front, may help win the war on her own firing line in the kitchen by saving coal, is explained in a num- Der of general precepts that have just been issued hy the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, and which ought to be tackled up in every home at least for the period of the war.
 The Bureau of Mines gives the fol- lowing military orders to the house wives:
 Careless use of coal in kitchen stoves and household furnaces is very wasteful. Only a small part of the heat in the fuel may thus be usefully employed. Be sure the heat is doing what you want it to do rather than needlessly heating the chimney.
 Buy coal mined as near home as possible, even if it requires little more trouble and learn tc use it. This will Tighten the load on transports ton systems.
 Buy a full wagon-1oad if you can reduces labor and cost of delivery.
 Be sure the smoke passages in tht stove are clean. Keep them clean If the scraper made for the purpose is lost, get another.
 Reduce the hours of running thu stove as much as possible.
 Fire1ess cookers may help reduce the time of keeping a fire.
 Running the range to heat tanl water only is not economical. B sparing of hot water in such cases.
 Break the Jumps of coal to sizes n larger than eggs.
 When the stove must run som hours a full fre-box carefully con trolled by dampers is more econom ical than fires so small that the grat sonly partly covered. With a big fire little air is neede over the coal as we'll as through il l If soft coal is used, allow just enoug air to come through the damper owe the fire to make the flames so sho1 they will not reach the second ro' l of stove-hds.
 l Close the top draft damper whe the flames get shorter than the firs row of stove lids.
 When it is necessary to carry a fir over night, fill the fre-boX with coa cover over tightly with ashes and clos all dampers. To start the fire, ope the damper below the grate and tn one in the stove pipe. Break up th coke in the fire box with a poker, ra ting the ash into the ash box.
 Save what coal and coke you ca from the ashes and use when yo have good fire.
 When the fire is we'll started, clo' the damper in the smoke pipe
 much as you can to maintain the ii
 you need. Open this damper to pr vent smoking while putting in fires coal. Damper control is the seer . of economical heating.
