 He added that he refused to en- ter house late at night because somebody might be frightened. He always made his entrances and ex- its shortly after dinner, when the residents were either out or talking things over down stairs while he was rifling the jewel cases and talk ing valuables upstairs.

The first of the many cases of
those who have for years been
disregarding the town ordinance
regarding the disposition of ashes,
was brought by Chief Graham
before Police Judge White last
week, and the guilty party fined.
Chief Graham is an advocate of
the theory that the best method of
dealing with those who trapsgress
the law is to bring them into the
police court, and the manner in
which the town authorities have
co operated with him in his efforts
toward removing the cause of so
many fires is indeed praiseworthy.
AS soon as it becomes known
fact that the fire department is
no longer meaningless organ
ization and that the ordinances
were not adopted because of any
pet scheme or the fancy of some
crank, there will be more attention
paid to the ordinance that ashes
must be taken care of.

Home Recipes by
Idaho Springs Ladies

Economy is no longer merely
good housewifery, but is now a
patriotic duty as we'll. Wherever
the same efficiency can be secured
by the use of less beef, pork, fat,
sugar or wheat the housewife who
selects the recipe using less of
these commodities needed for the
war is doing what she can to
shorten and to win the war. If you
have a good recipe which will aid
to this end, Siftings will be very
glad to give its many readers the
benefit.

BUT SIX SHIPS OUT
OF 70 IN NEW WAR
ZONE FELL VICTIMS

Montreal, Feb 9.-Out of rs ade-
quately armed vessels which passed
through the submarine zone up to
Wednesday night, German submarines
were able to sink only six, according to
William Hodge. minister of labor in the
British cabinet, a special cable to the
Montreal Star today declared.
Hodge made this statement In the
| same speech in which he said he did
not think he was giving away any
secrets by stating that the heads of
our army and allies in their recent
conference determined to shorten the
war and end it if possible by the end
Of summer"
Hodges statement as cabled today
continues:
I'VE must make up our minds that
the German superior frightfulness is
designed not so much to brighten us as
neutrals. In this they have to some ex :
tent succeeded as some smaller neu-
trails are not sending ships to sea.
This makes the lack of food here
much greater. It won't be long before
every merchant vessel will be properly
armed. Out of rs vessels. adequately
armed, submarines have been able -
sink only six.
There is nothing they dread more
than an armed liner or tramp steamer.
This means shells and still more shells.
II believe four pounds Of bread a
week a liberal allowance, but that can
be continued only IL we get on top
Of the submarine menace"
