MOBILIZE THE KITCHENS

| limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Amer erica's
housewives are answering the call to
mobilize their kitchens for the war.
Food headquarters announced today
that 2,722,91S families had pledged
themselves to household economy and
conservation of supplies during the
| first two days Of food saving week.
Totals thus far are based on meagre
returns from one or Two districts In
each state. A Colorado unit with as
many pledges signed in a Gay as has
been expected in week-17,232-
leads the list. But encouraging pro-
gress, the committee declares, Is ma
tion-wfde despite cold SHOWS and
rains.
Virginia leads all states with 1O7,-
900 pledges. Maine is second with
10000; Indiana third with $4,000 and
Arkansas, fourth, with $4,000 A squirt
of activity in the last named state
obtained 10000 signers in one day.
Today's figures show a gain of 49,
$50 over last nights tabulation.
Protest on Bean Price.
LANSING, Mich, Oct 31.-Protest
over the bean price as set by tho
government Is voiced in telegram
sent Herbert Hoover today by James
n. Mcbride, state market director
In the message Mcbride declared
that the moral effect Of the low price
would be d1scouragement to farmers
In raising bean crops. He said the
price set would net the farmers about
Sc a bushel and asked that a cost
expert be sent to Michigan for read
justment price Michigan produces
more beans than any other state in
the union.
Cut OFF Coal Supply,
WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-So called
luxury industries are being cut off
from their coal supply by Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield. A silk manu-
fa cturer is the first to feel the rule
that industries not essential to vic
tory in the war shall receive no re-
lief from the coal shortage, even
though the factories be forced to
close.
This fact was officially announced
today and it was further stated that
all luxury" plants which cannot OBJ
tain coal on the open market will re-
ceive no government help. It also
shows, officials declared, the futility
OF electric sign owners seeking to
modify the forthcoming order curtaiI-
ing electric sign lighting.
Garfield's plan is to give coal pri-
ority to railways, army and navy, pub
lie utilities, munition plants and
plants essential to victory to the war
A sufficient supply Of fuel will be dis |
trfbuted to private homes.

WRINKLES.

Wrinkles-they are bound to come any
Wy-Why not Cultiavte them now?
Beautiful wrinkles Have you ever looked
at some mountain range in the glorious
distance-its green monotone relieved by
dark lines and sombre dimp1es-the deeper
shadow of dell and ravine? Have YOU ever
climbed a mountain, and, Wearied almost
beyond endurance suddenly plunged into
the refreshing cool of one Of those guIcvs2 ,
What would a mountain be without its
wrinkles?
Wrinkles! Beautiful, indeed! The wax
dummy in the show window is wrinkIecss
and hideous. Even so the man or the
woman without wrinkles is mere clothes
raCk-a framework requiring stutfinG and
upholstering.
Wrinkles are the musical score OF the
soul-and whether it is discOrd, melody,
or dumb, your face will show
Write wrinkles on your face-nOt the
wrinkles between the eyebrows, because
they mean doubt, and doubt is a world OF
beauty and hope, and endeavor is impossi-
bic; not yet the wrinkles that ray out from
the corners of the eycs-they give YOU a
crafty lookout the wrinkles that begin
near the nose and drop in sweeping
curve to the lps-the wrinkles of laughter

HEROISM, AT HOME.

Not only on the battlefield are great
deeds done. 1t is not necessary 10 cross
the ocean to achieve heroism. Here at
home, amid the matter-of-faCt surround
ings of everyday life, the splendid soul
finds its chance no less surely than amidst
the shrapnel bursts.
William Jones of New York, for instance
There was nothing about William to sug-
gest the stuff of herOes-a routine sort of
a feIloW-as commonplace as his name
typical of humanity.
A dozen children were playing in one of
New YOrk's streets-the largest only
few years old. Further down the street
team had drawn up at a watering trough
and the driver was Clambering down from
his seat to undo the check rains
Suddenly the animals took fright and
holted-the great wagon swaying and
rumbling behind them like the car of Jug
&crnaut-and they bore down on the kid
dies, terrified into immObilitv 1t looked as
il all twelve were doomed.
William Jones was passing In one Of
those intuitve flashes that are the founda-
tion of all heroism he took in the situa-
tion and hurled himself at the bridle The
ferCeness of the charge caused the animals
to swerve just far enough to clear the
babies, but William went down in a smother
OF hoofs.
The men who sacrifices themselves for
others in some forlorn hope, who make
'bulwarks of their bodies to stop the bull
lets fired against their country, are per
forming no nobler work than William
Jones, who, without the inspiration of ex-
ample, died on a city street that twelve
babies might live

A SILLY SCARECROW.

In an effort to scare Americans from the
battle line, German propagandists are cir
culat1ng such statements as, the life of an
officer averages only eleven days, and,
Germany, already invincible, is furthermore
strengthened by the coming of age Of $780,
OOO German boys year, who are gradua-
ted into the army, full Aedged soldiers
All of which, says Edward A. Wood. of
the Equitable Life Insurance Company, are
lies. "InsuranCe companies" he says,
don't guess at figures, and we know that
Germany has only about 100000 youths
coming into military age each year Instead
Cl the large mortality of Canadian soldiers
that went to war, only 1000 of the nearly
half million have been killed.
We make the quotation merely in the in
terest OF accuracy. But even suppOsiug
the prOpagandists were right, how unutter-
ably stupid of them to think they could
scare Americans with such tales as this {!
Who, when he enlists, thinks he will
come out alive? Later on learns how
small is the chance of getting hit-some-
thing like one in ten thousand it has been
estimated; he can't help regarding his sac
rifce at first through magnifying glasses
And if he believes he is going to be killed,
it doesn't make any difference to him, from
a recruiting standpoint, whether it will be
eleven days, or eleven weeks, or eleven
months, or eleven years after he reaches
the firing line.
And why would Americans be afraid of
$4,000 new soldiers when they have al
ready begun to fight a nation with an army
about twenty times the size of our own?

man stationed at the naval station

for two things: One was that the
writer, indeed, expressed truth when
he said that the young men we're not
given the attention they were deserv-
ing of apd the other was that the
sailors and soldiers, and there are
hundreds who would accept, should he
prevailed upon to attend the churches.
Special committees from the churches,
if they saw fit and felt 50 constrainej,
could arouse deep interest among the
Young men in the enlisted classes
were proper invitations extended to
attend either or all of the city
churches. | am sure at every church
they would be accorded the warmest
of welcomes. and so far as my chu~c4l

be drummed, out of the neighbOrh0od
A service uniform nowadays, as Il
should be at all times, is an insignia
of honor. and the wearer should be
accorded the respect due him. Sailors
