miraculous escape from death last
night He was returning home in
his car from Seaford. When he al

his peril.
Realizing it would be useless to
reverse the engine. he quickly steer

stood in a leaning position until the
train passed. Coyey sat in his car,
expecting every second it would top

GOVERNOR FILLS TWO
IMPORTANT POSITIONS

Reifsnider Named as Nj. Laird'S
| Successor on Public Service Com
| Observation-Disclosures f.. Lee Succeeds
Reil>nider on The State Accident
| Board.
Governor Harrington yesterday an
nounced the appointment OF Chair
man John Milton Reifsnider, of the
State Industrial Accident Commits
sion, TO the vacancy on the PUBLIC
Service Commission caused by tff
| resignation of Philip d. Laird, ana
! the appointment OF Robert +. Lee,
| formerly secretary to Mayor Pres
! ton. to succeed Mr.. Reifsnider.
It WAS stated that Mr.. Reifsniders
and Mr. Lees commissions would be
! sent out during the evening, and that
| they could swear in today, If I MEG
! desired to do so. However. it is SUP
posed that some days, possibly a
week. Will be required by Mr.. Ref
snider 10 finish his pending work on
the Accident Commission. and Mr..
! Lee, of course. Will cheerfulIy await
| Mr.. ReitSniGeT's convenience.
MI. Rcifsnider viii have about five
years tcuure on the Service Commits
sion. Mr.. Laird was appointed about
one year ago for the regular term OF
SIX Years Mr.. Lee will have little
over three years tenure on the Acct
dent Commission. Mr.. ReifsnideT
was serving out the uneXpired term
of the late Chairman John b. Hanna.
who was appointed in 1914, 10 serve
the SiN-year term, from October vi
that wear. Mr.. Lee will serve until
the expiration Of that term
The Governor said that he WOULD
not till at This time the place on the
commission held by James Higgins
whose term expired last October, and
who has been holding on pending
the appointment of his successor. Ii
is probable that Mr.. Higgins. whom
the Governor has said privately he
does not intend to reappOint. Will be
allowed to stay for several months,
possibly until the next session of the
Legislature. 1t will be recalled that
Mr.. Higgins has raised the point that
the Governor has no authority TO
name his successor. except with the
approval of the Senate. which, if a
sound contention. would mean that
ne could not appoint until the Legis-
lature is in session. Explaining his
purpose not lC appoint successor to
Mr.. Higgins now, the Governor said
that he felt that two new men should
not be put on the Accident Commits
sion at the same time.
No designation of chairman Of
the Accident Commission was made
by the Governor The switch of Mr.
Reitsnider leaves the commission
without an executive. The Governor
probably Will designate the chairman
next week. 1t is quite likely that
Commissioner Charles ID. Wagaman
will be named, although he is the Re
publican member. Mr.. Wagaman Is
regarded as a strong man and deeply
devoted to the work. 1t is thought
that the business of the commission
might fare better if he were named
rather than Mr.. Lee, who will be
new in his duties. In ease Mr. Wag
aman is not named. Mr.. Lee will be
given the Craftsmanship, the Cover
nor. as stated above. having deter
mined not to reappOint Mr.. Higgins.

Mothers Cook Book.
The School Lunch.

In preparing a luncheon for school
children. two things should be kept
in mind: providing good, wholesome
nutritious food and packing it attrac-
lively. In these days when all house
wives wish to conform to the requests
of our food administrator, sandwiches
must be made of other than wheat
-four. Bran bread, rye and barley
bread, and steamed brown bread will,
with an occasional roll of white flour,
give q needed variety. AS most all
breads need some wheat flour TO add
gluten, there is much white flour used
even with the best of planning. Sand
wiches and cakes, if wrapped in waxed
paper, will keep fresh and moist. The
care in packing so that the food is
not jOlted over rough roads or joggled
in the hands of the little people, is
very important, for small people are
fastidious, being offended with hash
when out of its proper course.
Breads may be varied by adding
nuts, raisins and dates, or oatmeal
bread to which dried fruits are add
ed, or nuts if preferred, is a most
wholesome bread well liked by the
children.
A handful OF dates, figs or raisins
or an occasional piece of candy is al
ways q delight to the child.
Custards, egg sandwiches, cheese in
various forms, nuts and salads will all
take the place of meat. Chicken and
fish cannot be shipped abroad so we
are told to indulge in them in place of
pork, mutton or beef. Beef hearts and
liver sweet breads are meats that are
perishable and SO are not shipped.
Such meats make most tasty dishes
if they are not always cooked and
served in the same way.
In all our conserving we must re-
member hat the children must be
we'll fed. Milk, butter, cheese, and
such as cabbage, spinach and other
green leaves add an important stimu,
liant, called q growth stimulant, which
is found in all these foods. 1t Is
found also in clover and alfalfa III
abundance and animals fed on suct
foods store up this fat soluble in the
fat of their bodies. When a butter
substitute is made with Suet and milk
some of this wonderful growth deter
minant is there. Adults as well as
children need food containing it, anC
we are told that the wounds of oul
soldiers do not heal well unless they
have food which supplies this growing
principal.
Plenty of good whole milk-a bottle
to carry for luncheon-is the best kline
of a drink and with n thermoS bottle
it may be kept hot, if there are NJ
facilities for heating it at school.

Cleanliness and NeatnesS
Most important Factors in
Arranging InvaIid's Tray

Cleanliness and neatness are impor-
tant factors to be considered in ar
ranging the tray of IN invalid, points
out Miss LOula Kennedy, instructor
in domestic science in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
The food should be so arranged that
the patient will not have to put forth
much effort to obtain it. The artistic
touches count for much in arranging
the tray. Daintiness III the eye
and creates an interest in the food,
The best dishes and linens obtainable
are not too good for the patient.
The food should be fresh, and OF
the best quality. 1t is desirable to
have as great a variety as possible
The cooking should be done with the
utmost care. Hot foods should be
served hot, and cold foods cold
Enough food should be given to sat
isfy the patient but the plate should
not be overloaded, and it must be
served regularly. Serving meals or
time is as important as giving medi
cine on time.

Demands of War May Bring
Back the CeIIuIoid Collar.

1t is no longer considered good form
to point the digit of scorn or throw
lighted matches at a gentleman who
wears a highly infiammable. celluloid
collar. Nothing but a world wal could
supply an alibi for this economical
Adonis, but nowadays the wearers of
the stiff and glistening strangers rank
with the food conservers and the lib
erty bond buyers in the matter of pa
triotic endeavOr.
OF late, or recently to be more eX-
plicit, some person with q mania for
details has discovered hat millions of
pounds of potatoes are used annually
in the United States in the manufac-
ture of starch. Not co~ntentttyith this
discovery, observes a writer in the
New York Herald, he sought addition
nj details and ascertained that about
Il third of all the starch coined, spun
or manufactured goes eventually to
the neck of the country. The stiff col
lars of the nation are responsible for
a great percentage of the potato short
age. Obviously anyone who wears q
Starched collar is contributing to the
misery of the poor, the profits of the
food bandit, the gloom of the nations
and the waste of America.

A Hard Row to Hoe.

For centuries the status of a wom-
an while single was solemnly defined
as femme sole and after marriage as
femme covert. Vertically il may be
said that the second estate of that
woman was far worse than the first,
concludes Judge Robert Grant in Serb
ner's. A femme sole was in legal
phraseology an infant until her ma
jority. but after attaining ii she had
full possession and control of her prop
erty. If she vas rich ii was scarcely
reputable that she should not marry
unless she became a nun; consequent
" the interval between minority and
wedlock was, SO 10 speak. 'twixt hay
and grass. Nevertheless. If she defied
social sentiment and remained single
the law protected her ownership. She
might be choused out OF her posses
sions, but she could not be deprived OF
them. The instant she married. how.
ever, she became femme covert, and
every attribute of ownership ceased.

Erect Carriage.

Erect posture is the primary ele-
ment in good bodily poise. 1t is a very
simple matter. And yet it is very,
very uncommon. Erect posture is not
only a factor in beauty; it is a very
important factor in health. This is
true not only because it means a
normal condition of the spine, with a
healthy state of the nerve centers, but
because of its influence upon the func-
tons of all the internal organs. Ma
ture intended these organs TO occupy
n certain position in the body. They
do their best work only when they
occupy these allotted positions. When
they are crowded out of position or
permitted. through bad posture, TO sag
or fall several inches below, their eff
feiency is naturally interfered with.
They are obliged TO struggle against
a sever handicap.-Physical Culture.

SPIDERS BRING GOOD LUCK
Quaint Portuguese Superstitions Still
linger-Believe Whistling at Night
Communication With Evil Spirit.

The Portuguese never kill a spider
that comes into the house. for 1t
means they are going to receive a let
ter that will bring good news, accord
ing TO a correspondent.
When the left palm itches ii means
you are to receive money, and the .
tuguese men spit on the lam and
thrust it into their pocket, while the
women who have no pockets content
themselves by rubbing the palm on
wood.
The Portuguese never whistle at
night. because that would be commu-
nicating with the devil and those who
talk TO themselves also communicate
with the devil in doing so.
If the wind should blow open the
door of the house. no one should ever
say, even in a joke, Come in" as
people often do, for the devil is liable
TO walk in.
If the first child born TO a family is
n girl and resembles the father, she is
sure TO have good luck all through life.
If a black cat comes to your house,
it a good luck but if it happens
TO be n white cat then there will be
q death in the family.
