A few weeks ago the Quartermaster

complicated task of supplying every
thing from shoes to sugar ts rap

men, telegraphed an appeal to SO lead
Ing hotel proprietOrs throughout the
country asking the loan of 3,S40 chefs
and expert cooks to teach the science
Of gastronomics to the kitchens Of our

Now, the browned-in-the-oven old
mess sergeants of our regular army
cooking schools-of which four have
ilourished for many years-are willing
and anxious to sit at the feet of the
capable wizards who have fed Fifth
avenue and fremont street; but so
great is the faith of the mess sergeant
in the manual for army cooks, issue
Of 1916, that they pause refiectively In
their scientifically arranged pantrles
and allow-quite unofllcially - that
maybe n few of those fancy chefs will
go back to their hotels with one or
two choice recipes well worth trying

of army cookery to instruct National

The race riots that have been agi- tating Southern Illinois-a section of the country that has had frequent difficulty between the races-are foolish in the extreme. In a time of war they are well-nigh criminal.
 Race riots lead nowhere, except to bloodshed and the penitentiary. They settle no problems, but only empha- size them. They merely add to stress ard difficulties that more rational procedure must settle later.
 There is altogether too much of this lawlessness in the United States anyway. It is a reproach and a hu- initiation.
 The way to eliminate this business is rigid law enforcement. Men who carry guns and take part in riotina should be given the maximum pun ishment of the law. This procedure should prove deterrent in the future

 Story of At'antls island.
 Plato tells the story of tho great island of Atlantis and puts it's exis- tencc 5000 years before his time. His location of 1t is about half way be. tween the western projection of Africa and the Gulf of Mexico. It's civiiiza- ton was supposed to be very advanced and its powerful armies were said to have penetrated Africa as far as Egypt. The whole island, according to this legend, was engulfed by the seq sn day and a night. Another story says that great earthquake destroyed the island. The legend was ascribed to Egyptian priests, and on some old Italian maps Atlantis Is placed to tic westward of the Azores. Among some tribes of South and Central America there Is the legend of q vast cataclysn1 which engulfed great extent of'land. Eminent scientists have found noth- ing impossible "a tbe existence at some time of great Atlantic island, but the story of Atlantis is generally regarded as myth.

THE GERMAN BIRTHRATE FALLS.

A tremendous decline in the Ger man. birthrate is worry ing German sociologists. Before the war it was higher than in any great power; to- day it is on the toboggan and sliding fast. The reduction in births is in the neighborhcod of 40 per cent com pared with two years ago.
 It was German philosopher who said that the ratio of marriages and births in all nations depends alto gether upon the price of rye oi wheat and other necessities of liv'- ing.
 In Germany, as in other countries engaged in war, the cost of living has mounted tremendously, and atop of this war taxes lie with the dead weight of mountains.
 Naturally, the stimulation toward marriage and births is at low ebb. Fellows who can scarcely earn enough to live themselves will not accept additional responsibilities.
 Besides, when the manhood of a nation is on the firing line, it is q poor time to "set up housekeoping."
 And not only that, it is barely pos sible that a large number of poten- tial parents in Germany have come to the conclusion that if the only reason why the kaiser wants biz families is to have furnished men for cannon fodder, it is a poor system and needs Encouragement.
 In other words, they don't like to raise all their lads to be soldiers.

COAL PRODUCTION HIT
BY SHORTAGE OF CARS
All Mines Operating on Slow
Schedules, Some Partially
Shut Down
WASHINGTON. Nov. Is.


Lack of coal cars continues seriously TO
ielaru work in many mines in Pennsylva-
ma lilinois, Ohio and other States, accord
lns 70 reports made today by a group Of
illudle western mine owners who are here
trying to unravel transportation difficulties.
MANY mines are running on slow schedules
because 1t is impossible to get sufficient
cars.
Representatives of the Pittsburgh opera :
tprs association. with headquarters az
cleveland, complained that failure TO get
equipment had affected twenty-eight mines
III That territory, with a resultant loss in
production of thousands of tons. Twenty
TWO mines on the Illinois Central Railroad
last week worked 61S hours and lost 354
hours because cars were not available
This group of mines loaded 1918 cars. but
were short 107 cars. or considerably more
than one-third of their requirements.
Still more serious was the situation in
the Centralia, Eldorado and ST. Louis di-
visions, which produce under normal condi-
tions about 100000 tons of coal a month
Mines in that territory received during Oc-
tober an average of only 63 per cent of the
cars necessary to keep them going full
time, and up to this time the traffic difli-
culties have shown no Improvement. Re

the largest producing centers, told of
ninety-one mines operating on part time.
