The Champion Grief

! You talk of mournful things,
my friend, you say your woes the
one best bet; I'll tell, if you an
ear will lend. the saddest thing
that's happened yet. 1t is to meet
your lost Lenore, or female OF
some other name, the peach you
loved in days of yore, when love
was quite fevered game. Some
how She. drifted from your life,
for youthful dreams go galley
west; in time you gathered in a
wife, but always loved the old girl
best. In memory she kept her
place, the lost Lenore with starry
eyes, with curly hair and angel
face; the lovely image never dies.
And now that you are waxing old,
you 60 back to your native town.
where once, with footsteps quick
and bold, you ran the fleet jackrab-
bit down. And there you meet an
ancient dame, who'd scare a
burglar with her face; she has
large and bony frame, she talks a
deep and rumbling bass. All, then
you shed the bitter brine, and lean
against the Blue Front store, for
you feel saggy in the spine-this
beldame is your lost Lenore! To
find your girl of love and mirth
become so punk and fierce bluff
This is the saddest thing on earth
there's nothing else SO dad
blamed tough!

palities and the powers Of darkness. W.

ton in Masonic Temple this morning.

new our efforts to help ourselves" Ad-

needs of the local organization greater
than ever.

OYSTER RECEIPTS LIGHT.
No Recent Arrivals of Vessels With
Supplies at Local Wharf.

Receipts of oysters by vessel from
the lower Potomac are light. in spite
Of the opening of the dredging season
Thursday. There have been no arri-
walls of oyster-laden craft at the wharf
market for more than twenty-four
hours. and the oyster handlers. while
looking for river boats to arrive at
any time, have no information as to
any being on their way here. There
is little danger Of a serious shortage
in the supply of bivalves. as the shuck-
ing houses both on the wharf and up
town are well supplied.
Fish Of all kinds continue scarce, the
receipts, the dealers say. being much
below the average. AS a consequence.
prices on all varieties of fish are high
at the fish wharf market.

MINT D|SCOURAGES
BOARDING CHANGE
Circulation Of Cents, NickeIs
and Dimes Urged by Di-
rector Baker.

Penny boarding and small coin saw
ings banks were placed on the official
taboo list today by Raymond T. Baker.
director Of the mint. who declared the
country is threatened with a severe
shortage of cents. nickels. dimes and
other small change for the approach
ing holiday shopping season. He ap-
pealed to persons who collect small
coins as a savings hobby to exchange
them for coins of larger denomination.
or for currency. to relieve the shortage.
Children, particularly, were asked to
do their bit.
War revenue taxes amounting to
one or more odd cents on theater ad-
missions, tobacco and other articles.
now effective. caused such an enlarged
demand for cent pieces that Director
Baker today announced mints here
after would work Sundays. in addt-
ton to day and night as at present.
Output Not Sufficient.
The mints' output of 5000. 900 copper
coins will not be sufficient, however,
sons make small individual sacrffices
to keep the coins in circulation.
Although not ready to resort TO is
suance of paper money of dendmina-
tions less than a dollar. similar to the
"shin-plasters" of civil war days. Mr..
Baker recently has given careful study
to the war practice of Russia, Great
Britain and France along this line. and
is prepared to recommend such action
IL the mints cannot keep pace with the
growing demand for small change
coins.
System Of War Saving.
In order that people may not aban-
don their savings habits while comply
ing with the government suggestion.
the Treasury will put into effect soon
the system of war savings. This Is ex-
pected to draw great stores OF small
coins from their hiding place in ex-
change for savings stamps. and to in
crease materially the supply Of coins
for general circulation.
Christmas gifts of gold coins will be
discouraged by federal reserve banks
as a means of usual withdrawal from
circulation Of large quantities Of gold
after the holidays. Bankers explain
that people habitually refuse to spend
gold received as gifts for weeks or
even months.

PIE POINTERS
By CLELLA M. FISH

I distinctly remember the first pie I ever attempted to make (of course bar ring those early delectable ones of mud, and my sister laughs to this day over the briny tears which she declared were prominent ingredients of said pie She herself had acquired the art without any effort, whatever, and neither she nor my mother could see any need of a recipe for pie crust They could just put things in by guess, and they invariably guessed" a good pie. But dear me! was like the friend who said she didn't know how she was to fuse her judg- ment" until she got some to use. Then one day another sister solved the problem by giving me the following recipe for crust, which I've used ever since
 PIE CRUST
 One cup lard, 21a cups. flour, F cup cold water, a little salt. Makes or 5 crusts according to size of tins. Combine lard and flour lightly with tips of fingers or a knife, then add water and roll out on floured board. The ingredients need to be perfectly cold
 I usually add just a part of the water to enough of the lard and flour mixture for one crust, instead of moistening the whole lump at once. To prevent air bub- bles in the lower crusts, prick them with a fork before adding the filling. For crusts which are to be baked before adding the filling, place them on the in- verted tins, pricking as before.
 The following recipe for lemon pie has proved very satisfactory:
 LEMON PIE
 One cup sugar, yolks of eggs table spoons cornstarch, grated rind and juice of l lemon, butter size of walnut. Place on stove and stir in l pint boiling water. when thick add to baked crust and let cool, then cover with the beaten whites, to which little sugar has been added, One-half cup pepiant juice and little lemon extract makes very good sub sti- tute for the lemon
