COFFEcPOT STILLS
IN 'sDRY'' VIRGINIA

We learn from the Register that
Danvd1le Is working an ingenious de-
vice to defeat prohibition and supply
the people with distiled liquors. Our
contemporary reports the revenue men
as stating that the government has
information that small stills for fam
lily use are being freely used in that
day town. The stills are descibed as
being so small that they can be oper-
ated on the kitchen range, or over an
Oil stove in the basement, so as to
bring them within reach of every dry
family. There Is no intimation,"
adds our contemporary that the lit
tie stills are being made here, but
that liquor is being manufactured on
a small scale and by numerous per-
sons is the candid belief of the men
who for a month have been conduct
ing quiet investigation.
The conee-pot still is an interesting
innovation, and If 1t Is not rum out of
business, we expect to see the number

CUNARD COMP ANY
HEAD CRITICISES
SHIPPING POLICY
Declares Admiralty is Play
ing Into Hand Of
Germans.

Liverpool, May 1s.-The British aid
miraIty was accused Of playing into
the hands Of Germany by blocking the
building OF merchant ships, in an ad-
dress delivered by Sir Alfred Booth,
head of the Cunard company, at the
annual meeting of the organization.
Sir Alfred also attacked government
control Of Shipping as a policy threat
ening the destruction of the British
merchant marine and the ruin of the
British empire. He added:
Sound national finance Is another
necessity to the national life Of the
whole community. We have gone all
wrong from the very start in our
methods Of financing the war. For 8
short war these methods might have
proved comparatively harmless, but
for a long war, such as this has proved
to be, we have hung a. nilstone around
our necks which will sorely hamper
our powers of recovery after the con-
clusion Of peace.
I'VE have borrowed where wae should
have taxed, and even where we have
taxed we have taxed production and
left consumption to run riot. The fact
that the food question is so serious TO-
day Is due las much to our financial
follies as to the German submarines %

HUSTEDS' CLAIMS FOR
DIVORCE TO BE HELD
IN COURT HERE MAY %

Two divorce actions resulting from
the marital troubles OF. Jessie Shep-
ard Hustled, Of this city, and Mills
Hustled, Yale man and Greenwich So
ciety favorite. are assigned for trial
before Judge Reed in the superior
court May 20. Mrs Hustled brings
action on the ground of cruelty.
Hustled in his s,1ft also claims cruelty
but mentions no specific acts. The
couple were married March 1. 1915.
when Hustled was attending Yale and
his bride was manicure at the Ho-
tel Taft in New Haven
Another society divorce assigned
for May 20 is the action brought by
Vera E. Wyckoff of Stamford against
Spofford r. Wyckoff Of Stamford.
She alleges cruelty and Wyckoff
makes counter charges of the same
nature. The wife recently obtained
an Injunction restraining Wyckoff
from prosecuting a divorce action in
Nevada on the ground that he is not
a bona fide resident of that state.

CORN MOST EFFECTIVE
SUBSTITUTE FOR WHEAT

The most effective way to remedy
the probable shortage in the wheat
crop is to plant corn, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Ordinarily the quantity Of corn pro-
duced in the United States is from
three to four times the quantity of
wheat, but only a small portion of
the crop-from s to 10 per cent. has
been used for human food This
amount may be estimated in normal
times at about 2O0,0eo,000 bushels
a year. Not over per cent. has been
exported in peace-times. A relatively
slight increase in the corn acreage,
therefore will place millions of bush
posal Of the world without interfering
in any way with the feed needed for
the support of live stock.
In the past, with an abundance of
grain of other kinds, corn has not
been in great demand for human con-
sumption. But with other grains no
longer abundant, circumstances will
compel more general recognition of
the value of corn as human food.
The department is urging strongly the
wider use Of corn in the diet. 1t is
the best substitute for wheat that we
have and can he utilized in breads,
mushes and variety Of other ways,
We should make every effort to avail
ourselves of it.
PLANT corn,'' then should be the
motto Of every farmer in a section
suited to the crop.

Thrilling Story of
Belgium's Heroic Women

The only American woman member
of the Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM has written a book that should
be read everywhere in this country. It
is entitled Women Of Belgium Turn
ing Tragedy to Triumph" and was
written out of Mrs. Charlotte Kellogg's
own personal observations and expe-
rience' in that smitten country. The
Introduction is by Herbert Hoover
that great American through whose
tire1ess efforts as Chairman of the Re-
lief Commission, the deplorable con-
dition of the Belgian people is being
alleviated. Mrs. Kellogg's husband
had charge of Belgian Relief at the
Brussels headquarters of the Commits
sion, and her opportunities for eight
months were such as no other woman
has known. She has given to the
world. therefore, a most intimate view
of women's work, and courage, and
sacrifice, made necessary by the reso-
lations of war.
This unique volume is not a war
book in the sense that it details hor-
rors of battle, but rather it covers a
period, a tragic history, a marvellous
philanthropy, never before known. It
recites the splendid courage and the
noble service of true human brother
hood and sisterhood. To read it is
an inspiration and a delight, even If
many of its pages are trimming with
pathos. You can help the hungry and
homeless Belgians by ordering a copy

publication goes to author or publish

PUBLISHERS VOICE
VIGOROUS PROTEST
ON BLOCKING MAIL
Newspaper Association De-
clares Against Arbitrary
Discrimination

Washington, May 15-Newspaper
publishers were here yesterday to
Erotess to the senate finance COM
mittee against the increase in second
class mail rates by application of the
parcel post zone system, proposed by
the 81, 500, 600 600 war tax bill.
The committee, also considered the
measures provisions for stamp and
estate and inheritance taxes, to which
Their were many objections. The house
resumed debate ON the bill and leaders
hoped for its passage early in the
week.
A statement prepared by a. commit
tee Of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association, headed by Don c.
Seitz OF the New York World, said the
proposed postal increase was "a cold
blooded proposition to close the mails
to newspapers and would result in SO
much loss Of circulation, especially
among farmers, that postal income
would decrease and the rural, carrier
| system would entail an even greater
loss than at present.

ment, even to the point of presenting
the government with all profits, pro-

agingly of Prussianism.'
The proposed increase, the state
ment said, 'is not a war tax but an
effort to further repress and embar-
rass the newspaper industry. The rate
proposed is am increase CT from 100 to
600 per cent, an increase beyond
precedent"
