NAVAL MEN CAUSE STIR
Enroll Fifty Middlebury Students
to Chase U-Boats.
But College Prefers TO Commit
Itself to Army Work-Llsut.
Garran OF Norwich
Takes CHARGE,

During the absence of President j. NJ.
Thomas in Montpelier on Tuesday, Mid
dIebury College was stormed by a re-
cruiting party of United Safes naval
officers who pictured so glowingly the
advantages of naval service and so
seriously described the country's need
that within an hour or so fifty impulsive
patriots among the students enrolled
for the Naval Coast Defense Reserve
1t is matter of pride that so many
were ready to answer their country's
call, but the manner in which the re-
cruting party worked was i'll advised.
Without knowing what attitude the col
lege authorities had in regard to the re-
lease of so large proportion of the col
lege men in body, particularly at
time when the college was working
along other lines of military service, the
naval officers pressed the men to enroll
upon promise that if the faculty failed
to grant the enlisted men credit for
their regular college work the enroll
ment blanks would be destroyed. Seek
ing thus to get men to commit them
selves, the recruiting officers enrolled
fifty men for sea service e. for motor
boat patrol of the Atlantic coast in the
hunt for submarine.-men of an inland
state not one among whom is known to
have had any knowledge of or natural
yearning for sea life and men who were
already in training for army instead of
naval service.
The matter rested until yesterday
afternoon when the faculty of the col
lege met, after which President Thomas
gave the Register the following state
ment:
"The faculty of the college has de-
cided to refer all applications for release
for military or naval service to the ad-
minstration committee. Each case will
be acted upon individually and no
general release will be granted Al
student desiring to enlist, or to take
position in a laboratory or munition
factory, must file petition, which must
be approved by parent or guardian"
''The faculty believe that, in view of
the great shortage Of officers for the
large army which it is proposed to raise,
the most valuable service a college man
can render is to place himself in train
ing for commission in the army"
"lt is for this purpose that the War
Department has been petitioned for
Training Corps. Pending the detail of
an officer, ieut. Frank w. Garran of
Norwich University has been secured
as military instructor. He will carry
out as far as possible the course of
study prescribed by the War Depart
ment."
Lieutenant Garran who is a senior at
Norwich University arrived here yester-
day and last night he addressed the en-
tire body of men students on army SER
vice, being enthusiastically received
He has already begun the work of in
struction of the Officers Reserve Corps
of the College and has made a fine i'm
preston among the men.

prices when foods are high and when they are
cheap She must always consider the season
and, if she desires to keep down her expenses,
purchase only seasOnable foods For instance,
fresh tomatoes and peaches are within the
means Of all in the summer time but in Janu-
airy they are luxury for the rich alone.
To buy well, the housewife must also have
working knowledge of food value; otherwise
she cannot make out a varied, we'll balanced
and nourishing daily menu
The market quotations published in the
newspapers should be studied just as closely
by the housewife as they are by the hotel man.
for the planning of each days meals requires
intricate and elaborate calculation. The art of
buying with dscernment and with as little
waste as possible applies equally to both cases
1t pays big interest, sharpens the intellect and
keeps one healthy and alert.
The American housewife deals too much
with expensive cuts Of steaks and chops which
have few left over possibilities. There should
be a much greater variety in the meat menu
which may be obtained by learning how to
make good use Of less expensive meats.

TVERY American girl should be thor
n oughly trained in the art of cooking and
- efficient marketing. Such knowledge
from the standpoint of the pccketbook is not to
be sneercd at, and scientific training in the
selection and preparation Of nutritious foods
is coming TO be a matter of prime necessity.
Undoubtedly, the food problem is serious
one. not alone because of the present high
prices. but because the stringency is made in
fnitely worse by the waste of food which oc-
ours daily and hourly, in the average Amerl-
can home.
In these days of high prices | cannot bear
to see food ruthlessly thrown out, and GER
tainly do believe it is the duty Of every house
wife. no matter what her position in life, to
learn and encourage individual economy and
thrift in the kitchen.
If American housewives more fully realized
food values and the efficient preparation of
food the problem of the high cost OF living
would stand a better chance of ultimate solu-
zion.

wife has learned through force Of circum-
stances, is practically unknown here.
We are often told that cooking is lost art.
| maintain it is not so; in America the true art
of cooking is yet to be found. To know when to
eat, what to eat and how to eat is the true art
"a thing most people do not know.
One of the greatest sources of waste is in
the marketing. If economy were used in pur-
chasing an immense step would be taken to-
ards the elimination of waste.
Say that the housewife orders from the
butcher two pounds of porterhouse steak.
Seven times out Of ten the butchers cut will
be a little over the weight asked for; seldom
if ever will it be less than the amount ordered.
If he adds an ounce or quarter of pound
to every order he has in day it will mean quite
a number of pounds at the end of each week
BY the end of the month it will represent quite
little sum of money. This can apply as well
to the grocer or fruiterer.
The market man should be taught to serve
only the amount called for.
If the same housewife who allowed the
butcher to force upon her quarter pound of
meat she did not need should go TO a drygoods
store and order five yards of goods, the clerk
would cut five yards and no more. The same
conditions should be enforced on purchases
made for the table.
1t is wisest to pay personal attention to
marketing We find it very convenient to
telephone for what we need for dinner. The
shopkeeper knows that 80 per cent Of his GUS
toners have no scales with which to ascertain
whether or not the proper weight has been
given. Quite naturally, he takes advantage Of
it in filling an order given over the phone.

IF THE American housewife is really earnest
4 in her desire to spend less money on her
table, she can do it, despite the high cost
of food and without reducing the quantity or
quality Of the family meals. The time, evil
IDENTIFY, has come when she really does want to
economic, but does not know how.
1t is hard to say just what is the greatest
source of waste in the American kitchen, but
it is a fact that the cid saying about the aver
age American garbage pail containing enough
to feed French family is as true to-day as
ever it was.
Moreover it is as true of the farmers home
as it is of the city bankers. The garbage pail
on the farm receives the makings Of many
wholesome, savory meals, just because the
farmers wife does not know how to utilize
remnants and scraps. In an economically man
aged kitchen there are no remnants and scraps.
Everything is used.
The methods of economy which may be
adopted are many.

suggested by her own knowledge of cooking
and the desire to economic. There should be
no surplus if she carefully counts noses. How
ever, if she finds an accumulation of odds and
ends they should not be thrown out. If, tor
instance, a little bit of stewed corn is left in
the ice box, with some peas and small guam
tity of beans it will make an excellent soup
with the addition of some stock made from soup
bones. The odds and ends Of suet fat of all
kinds should be tried out and the fat used in
cooking instead Of butter.

A GOOD housewife should possess. from
~ her own knowledge and observation,
good judgment in buying. Her
marketing list should be more or less tentative
If she finds that some of the items down on her
list are dear to-day, they should be put off for
another day and other less expensive foods
substituted. Marketing prices for staple foods
IT must be remembered, vary from day to day
In these days Of the high cost of living the
frugal housewife, instead of using six eggs,
will make five do. A cup and half or two
cups of sugar will be shrunk TO two-thirds of
cup or less. The right proportions will be
