35O,00O WOMEN MAKE MUNITIONS IN FRANCE
Accomplish Better Results Than Men, and Create More COnsiGerate Spirit,
 Says Munitions Minister.

(Correspondence Associated Press)
 Paris, Feb. 26.-Three hundred and fifty thousand women are now work ing in the government controlled mu- nition works in France. Albert Thom- as, the minister of munitions, in talk ing of their work to The Associated Press said:
 'They are more ski.ful than men in things requiring delicacy of touch, quickness of hand, such as the mounting of rifle parts or the rolling of fuses. They are particularly good at laminating work.
 "Then on the heavier labor. Look at the women on cranes lifting five tons! I have in mind scene Tn heavy mechanical management in a copper-working mill. An active girl of 19 on travelling crane is so atten- tive to her work that she anticipates the slowing down and stopping sig nals of the men who guide the load to it's place. Leaning over the rail- ing, without taking her hand from the handle of the electric wheel, her eye judges the movement of her ma chine thirty or forty feet below. The people underneath working in co- operation with her know that she vii. slow down at the necessary instant: It is a fine example of intelligent and trained teamwork

 MT. Thomas has noticed that wom- en have brought into iron-working trades a personal consideration or working-people for one another. "Women from dressmaking and millinery shops for example" said he, coming into ruder workshops insist upon courtesy. They will not toler- ate coarseness and roughness of bear ing. They bring into the metal-work- ing mills their own standards of de-
 pertinent and the men adopt them. The change where large number of women are employed has been re- markable."

any tender green vegetable in a large
amount of water and then throwing
away the water is most reprehensible
at any time and especially now when
every scrap of food should be con-
served.
The LIQUID in which the vegetables are
cooked is rich in soluble matters that
are valuable in the body and should
never be thrown away but served
with the vegetable as a sauce or add
ed to soup stock.
In cooking any of the succulent
green vegetables, salt should not be
added until they are ready to be sea-
soned. If peas are inclined to lack
sweetness a teaspoonful Of sugar to a
pint of peas will aid wonderfully in
the flavor of the finished dish. Cook
all vegetables in boiling water and
peas in an open kettle as they keep
their green color better.
For variety one may enjoy some
of the following ways of preparing
peas:
four tablespoonfuls of butter into a
saucepan with two cupfuls of fresh
ly shelled peas, bunch of mint, one
peeled onion, half a cupful Of cream,
a well washed crisp head of lettuce,
finely shredded, and teaspoonful Of
sugar; cover and cook for twenty min
utes, shaking the pan occasionally
while the contents are cooking. When
the peas are cooked, remove the onion
and mint from the pan, add three egg
yolks that have been beaten with two
tablespoonful of cream, a pinch of
salt and red pepper, shake until the
contents are well mixed, then dish up
the peas. Cook the carrots shredded
in strings in a very little water, add
three tablespoonfuls of butter to the
tender drained carrots and dust with
paprika and fry until golden brown
then add a cupful of stock or the
liquor in which the carrots were
cooked; simmer one hour. Serve with
the peas.

Nav Have Solved Old Problem.

A German scientist claims to have
solved the problem Of transmitting
photographs under the ocean by cable.
His process, if successful, represents
the solution Of an old problem. Photo
graphs have long been transmissible
by telegraph by the use of selenium, a
metal whose electrical resistance va
ries with the intensity of the light
striking it. But similar process for
cable work has never been perfected
hitherto, because Of the extreme feeble
pass through thousands Of miles Of
wire without q relay. The new process
is said to make use Of the selenium
principle and an elaborate system of
relays at each end.

SALOONMEN HAVE TROUBLES
OF THEIR Own JUST NOW

Watertown salOonkeepers, and in
fact liquid dispensers all over the wet
territory of the United States are
having a few troubles OF their own
just now owing to the new revenue
law compelling them to take an inven-
tory of their stocks of whiskey, wines,
cordials, etc. Special Revenue Agent
E. J. McAdams of this city has charge
of the work in Jefferson county and
is pretty busy man at present.
The increased tax has already been
the cause of advancing the price of
liquors and now there are but few
places where one can get a drink of
booze for less than Is cents and from
that up to Is cents for Scotch, etc.
The tax will return to the govern
ment approximately $2,50Q,0O0,O0O.
The work Of taking the inventories
is a trying one as the dealer is at a
loss just how to proceed. The tax is to
be applied to proof gallons, not wine
gallons. For instance, if dealer has
a 100 gallon barrel of 80 proof whis-
key, he must schedule it in his inven-
tory and pay the tax on only ninety
gallons. 1t is the proof gallon that
counts, no matter what the proof of
the liquor may be.
A number of dealers have made re-
turns on the full number Of gallons
in their receptacles. This mistake and
all others will be corrected before the
tax levy is made. After the dealers
have made their inventory returns
they will be cehcked over by gaugsrs
and storekeepers in the employ of the
government, who will assist in secur-
ing the information the government
has required 1t is said the federal
authorities understand that the re-
turn requirements are somewhat COM
plicated and an entirely new PROPOSE
ton to the trade. For that reason as
sistance will be given in making out
the original statements.
The government will extend the
time of payment six months to those
who are not able to pay their special
tax when it falls due a month from
now, providing they give a bond Sc
curing payment. Bonding companies
are offering such bonds at $25 for
$4,000 of security and SIS for each ad-
ditional $1,000, but no bond will be is
sued for less than $25. The trade has
been circularized to that effect, at
least.

JUST WANTED HIS LAUNDRY
But Methods Employed by New York
Man to Get 1t Involved Him
in Serious Trouble.

If any one had spoken to Charles
Turpin the other day at two o'clock
1t is just about ten-to-one shot that
no answer would have been forthcom-
ing. For at that hour Mr.. Turpin was
being removed, feet up, from the
rathskeller laundry of Charles Fung,
West Fourteenth street, followed by
the ruin Of his own laundry bundle,
the imported impreeations of Mr.. Fung
and two policemen, who were ready
at moments notice to repeat what
had already been transacted regard
ing Mr.. Turpin's skull, says the New
York Herald. In brief, Mr.. Turpin
was as busy as witch.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Turpin has made
no statement other than that the re-
naming days Of @. Fung upon this
earth are numbered, it is difficult to
learn what started the typhoon. Mr..
Fung speaks a number of dialects
which no one cares to listen to, and
aside from gestures his descriptive
HWers seem VIGOROUSLY weak.
All that is clear is that Mr.. Turpin,
having lost his check, demanded his
laundry at once, and during the indeci-
sion of G. Fung, began to open bundles
and try on anonymous shirts. Mr..
Fung blew a police whistle once, after
which Mr.. Turpin is alleged to have
sent the whistle in one blow from Mr..
Fung's mouth to a point off Sandy
Hook. 1t took three policemen to con-
vince Mr.. Turpin that in matters per-
tanning to laundry he is all wrong, and
in the Jefferson Market court he was
held in $1,000 bail as an unusually
disorderly customer.
Shall 1t Be "LanqIeys?"
AS tribute to the memory Of the
man who was first to discover. and
partly to apply, the rule in aero
states, to which the world is in
debted for the modern advance in avi-
alton, it is proposed that the United
States government shall designate the
airplaneS which it is to send to Eu-
ropean battlefelds "Langleys." Great
er recognition than his work has re-
ceived should certainly be given to the
modest professor, who, theoretically,
at least, proved it possible to navigate
the air with heavier-than-air machines.
But, then, there are the Wrights. No
injustice should be done the men who
