The British Are Likely to Free Frederik
VIII. Within a Few
DAYS,

Halifax, Feb. 2l.-The homeward voy-
age of Count Won Bernstorff, former
German ambassador to the United
States, probably will be continued on
Saturday, as the examination of the
passengers and cargo of the Frederik
VIII, is proving not nearly so arduous as
had been expected.
In the investigation of the cabin pas
sengers the former ambassadors party
had preferential treatment.
No communication is allowed between
those who are awaiting their turn. All
decks, corridors and stairways are guard
ed.
Although the rigid rules regarding uu-
sanctioned communication with the shore
have not been relaxed, the authorities
have delivered to Count Won Bernstorff
scores Of kilograms from all parts of the
United States. No vessel is allowed to
enter Bedford Basin, where the Frederik
VIII. lies, without a pass issued by the
proper naval authority.

Small Pillow Dainty and Useful.

The woman's sleeping room is not
quite complete nowadays until the "lit
tie pillow" is placed daintily upon the
large one as finishing touch, not merely
for decorative purposes but for its own
comfortable uses. There is q great vari-
ETY. of designs to choose from, but the
simplest are the prettiest. Slip covers
of finest linen, stamped and embroidered
and otherwise adorned, can be purchased
at any department store. These, over
pale pink or blue covers, filled with down,
are lovely. The pillows may be covered
with satin or taffeta to match the color
ing of the room, either in plain mate
rial, or a Powered one. Over a Powered
silk, slip made of sheer handkerchief
linen, hemstitehed at each end and tied
with lowered ribbon is really charming
Over plain color, slips made of fine
lawn and Valenciennes lace are attrac
tive, and they may be varied in the way
they are put together Tied with narrow
ribbons to match the pillow, they are
pretty. The lace insertion
and edge should be put together with an
"entre-deux" and sewed by hand.-Ex-

Washington Warns Only
Berlin Breakdown Can
Ease the Tension
NO LIGHT ON
WILSON'S PLANS
Govt. Officials Fear covert
Act May Be Committed
at Any Time

/ Washington, Feb. 2l.--Conficting ex.
pressions in administration quarters re.
garding the present status of the Ger
man American situation have served Sc.
riously to befog the real issue.
This is the opinion of men in high
office in Washington, who see grave dan
ger in the frequent statements which
have emanated during the last twenty
four hours from sources claiming to rep
resent the views of the administration
that "the situation is much improved"
Officials of the state department are
unable to see that there can be any i'm
provement so long as the threat of Ger
many to sink all American merchant
ships passing through the German war
zone stands.
With American ships, with few ex-
ceptions, frightened off the high seas
and with only few Americans daring
TO take passage on other vessels clearing
for the barred area, the state depart
ment finds small comfort for the future
in the fact that American lives are not
being lost.
Germany issued her war zone decree,
ment yesterday, primarily to break up
neutral trade with Great Britain. To
the extent that she has frightened Amer
lean commerce off the seas, it was OBJ
served, Germany has partially achieved
her purpose. The only incidents that
have occurred of American ships being
sunk, it was pointed out in these quar-
tiers, have tended to prove that Ger
many's present attitude is in ruthless
disregard of past promises. While there
was evidence that warning was given
before the American ships Housatonic
and Lyman NJ. Law were sunk, the state
department has not overlooked the fact
that in both these incidents Germany
as "a scrap of paper" the I'M
reached more than a year
ago in the negotiations attending the
case of the William p. Frye.
What the president himself believes
concerning the outlook cannot be learned
direct from him. In characteristic fash.
ion he has shut himself off from all
intercourse with the newspaper repre-
sentatives His last interview with mem |
bers of the Senate last Saturday created
the impression among those with whom |
he talked that he would 60 before Con
gress this week to seek authority to
use the army and navy to protect Amer |
ican shipping. Yet yesterday it was de-
clared again in White House quarters
that there is no present prospect of his
doing any such thing. Even the sug- |
gestion that he will go before that body |
Just before adjournment fails to find
my encouragement in these quarters.

Altering Commercial Patterns.

Some helpful ideas about altering pat
terms were recently given in series OF
talks by the domestic economy depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin.
BUY a pattern whseh corresponds TO
your chest measure, and choose the type
of pattern best suited to your figure.
Find out which patterns run large, and
which run small In changing patterns,
IL is best to cut patterns in cambria to
figure. so that it may be adjusted before
the material is cut out. To alter pat
terms for short wasted people from the
under arm to the waistline, says the
Christian Science Monitor, lay plat
across the front and back, half way be-
tween the under arm and neck, so that it
will agree with your measurement. In
most cases, il is sufficient TO alter the
length OF waist lining at the lower
part. i,
To make the pattern fit longer wasted
people. cut across both patterns at a
point 2iS inches above the waistlne, and
separate TO the length required to cor
respond to your measurement. II too
short from under arm 10 neck, cut at
point half wav between under arm and
neck. and separate to correspond with
your measurement.
To shorten sleeves, if the upper arm is
too long. take plat lis inches above
the elbow, deep enough TO make the pat
tern correspond to your measurement.
If the lower arm is too long, take a
plat three inches below the elbow and
parallel to the waist line. Take up both,
il necessary.
To lengthen the sleeves, proceed as for
shortening. but. instead of folding, cut
At the points indicated and separate until
the length Of the upper and lower arm
corresponds to your own measurement.
Take up plaits in unaerarm sleeve TO
correspond to the upper piece. and even

GRAIN SoRGHUMS.
Furnish Desirable and Wholesome Ar
ticles of Food.

Washington, ID. G., Feb. 2l.--Although
the protein of the grain sorghums has
been shown by dietetie experiments oil
the Office of home economies Of the u.
S. department of agriculture TO be less
digestible than that of corn or wheat, all
of the sorghums except kaolisng furnish
fairly good source of protein and prac-
tically as good a source of carbohydrates
as the two grains in most general use.
The department specialists, therefore,
find the grain sorghums worthy of use
in all sections to give variety to the diet.
In regions where other cereals are not
so successfully grown, it is pointed out,
the grain sorghums may contribute ma
terially to the supply OF substance suit
able as human food. The conclusions in
regard to these grains are set forth in
department bulletin No. 470, recently
published.
Tests were made with kafir. feterita,
milo and kaoliang, both in the form of
bread and as mush. Check tests were
made also with corn and wheat as breads.
All six of the grains were ground into
meals of the same tineness in the same
mill. In the experiments with the breads,
the average digestibility of the protein
of the wheat was found to be 77.3 per
cent; corn, 500; kafr, 55l.2; feterita,
500; milo, 40; and kaoliang ,l9.s In the
experiments with mushes made from
meals of the four grain sorghums, the
digestibility of the protein was about
4S per cent for feterita and kafir, APP
pro1imately "a per cent for milo, and
only four per cent for kaoliang. The di-
gestibility of the carbohydrates was high
for all six grains, ranging from 95.3 to
9S.6 per cent.
The results of the Investigations as
whole indicate that while il is best to
use some wheat flour to make up for
the lack of gluten in the sorghum meal,
a fairly large proportion OF the meal
may be satisfactorily used in admix-
ture with wheat -four in the preparation
of common foods. In preparing the grain
sorghums for food it is important to
make certain of the absorption of water
in such quantities that the particles of
meal, which are Enthusiastically hard
OF finty. may be well softened.
To many palates the grain sorghums
more nearly resemble buckwheat in flaw
or than they do corn or wheat. The |
flavor is quite generally regarded as /
agreeable, and the grains are conceded |
to be wholesome.

FIRST NATIONAL FOREST ROAD.
To Be Constructed Under the Federal Aid
Act.

Washington, d. C., Feb. 2l.-The sec
rotary OF agriculture has authorized the
location survey of section of the first
under the national forest section" of the
federal aid roads act. This section is the
only one in the law which provides for
actual construction of roads by the fed
eral government. Roads built under
authority of this part of the law are de-
signed primarily to promote economic
development and to show public con-
venience in localities where much of the
land is in national forests. The proposed
road on which action is taken is in the
Apache national forest, Greenlee coun-
ty, Arizona.
The preliminary estimate of the cost
of construction of the IL miles OF road
to be surveyed is $324,500. Greenlee
county proposes to hold a bond election
to raise the necessary funds to contrib
ute fifty per cent of this amount. An
additional 90 miles of road in Apache
county will be necessary to complete the
project, and, according to the prelimi-
nary estimate, will bring the total to
$4,000.
Approval of the plans for the survey
was based upon the industrial resources
which will be opened up and also upon
the offer of one half cooperation by
the county. The construction of the
road will make possible north-and-
south trunk line through region now
inaccessible and will connect with exist
ing east.and west state highways. In
it will, it is stated, make pos
sible the sale of large bodies of timber
for the use of copper mines in southern
Arizona. and will afford means of trav
ell for settlers besides eheapening the
cost of protecting and administering the
forest The development OF
water power in the region will be as
sisted, and beautiful recreation area
will be opened up for tourist travel and
for the residents OF the desert cities
during the summer months.
In each case, under the terms of the
law, the road funds must be derived
partly from local sources, and the
amount dependable in any county by the
is limited to ten per cent !
IF the estimated value of the timber and /
forage resources of the national forests /
N that county.
Several other projects for which coop |
,ration has been offered are pending I
or roads in California, Montana and
IDAHO. Where two projects have equal
lain for consideration. the decision
will, it is stated, be made in favor of the
me for which the best offer OF cooper.
Ition is made.

ENGLAND FACES
FIXED RATIONS
Compulsory Diet Expected
to Come Very
Soon
CHEF PREPARES
MENU FOR ALL
Many Already Are Living on
Voluntary Regi-
Men

London Feb. 6.-England is facing
compulsory rationing measures Members
of the food committee for the Kingdom
do not believe the voluntary system will
last much longer.
The chef of one of London's famous
old restaurants has outlined the follow
ing menu for the daily meals of a.fam-
lily of FIVE, desiring to keep within the
limits suggested: Four pounds of
bread, two and a half pounds OF meat
and three quarters of a pound of sugar
weekly. The menus are:
Breakfast-Coffee, porridge, five eggs
Zone for each person. one pound of bread
and butter.
Dinner-Vegetable soup, filet of beef
az pounds and six ounces of bacon1,
creese and celery, five ounces of bread
lone ounce for each person..
Supper-Eight ounces of bread, cheese,
vegetable salad
That compulsory rationing is near is
the opinion of w. G. Anderson, mem
Der of Parliament and one of the food
for the Kingdom.
Frankly, | do not believe" he said,
yesterday, that the voluntary system
will last much longer. My purely per-
sonal opinion is that compulsory ration
ing measures will have to be adopted for
very obvious reasons"
To the unselfsh patriots of England,
however, this compulsory rationing will
bring no great hardship. Already mil
lions have adopted what Lloyd George
called the national diet" Linn
iting themselves TO two and half
pounds of meat, four pounds of bread
md three-quarters of a pound of sugar
each week, those who have adopted the
scale OF Lord Davenport, food controller,
lave already saved the nation thousands

Where Peanuts Have Replaced Cotton.

last year Conanche county, Texas,
which until few years ago had grown
hardly any commercial crop except cot
ton, made more than half million
bushels Of peanuts" says a writer in the
current issue of Farm and Fireside. This
year there are dozen counties west and
southwest of Fort Worth that will pro-
-duce from a quarter of million bush
els OF peanuts. That section hasn't any
special monopoly on the peanut indus
try, for they are being grown all over
Texas and Oklahoma, but not on quite
such an extensive scale as in the locality
mentioned.
1.-THE peanut is a drought resister. and
there is hardly summer so hot and dry
that it will not make fairly good crop.
When the dry, hot days come it will
wilt and look as if it was going to shriv-
ell up, but whenever a rain comes it
starts to growing and putting on nuts
again. 1t may be planted from April
until June, and is usually harvested in
October or November"

Goals in the Area Between Bon Air and
Clifty, Tenn.

To settle question raised by the resi-
dents OF an area in the Cumberland
plateau of Tennessee as to whether that
area is barren of commercial deposits of
coal, the United States geological survey,
department of the interior, has recently
examined the area and obtained new in
formation in addition to that previously
published. The surveys report on this
examination bulletin 64lK, Goals in
the Area between Bon Air and Clifty,
Tenn.," by Charles Butts shows that
two coal beds are present in this area,
but that the localities in which these
Goals are workable are patchy in distri-
button. 1t recommends that any inves
ment or mining in the area be preceded
by careful and thorough prospecting.
