Experiment on Barley
as Wheat Substitute

Madison. Wis.-Bariey muf-
fins. barley bread, barley break
fast food and barley cakes may
become as common on our la
bles as white bread, graham
mullins and oatmeal, according
to the results of experiments
now being carried on by the
war research committee of the
home economics department OF
the University OF Wisconsin.
In seeking cereals to relieve
the wheat shortage the depart
ment found that the food and
commercial value of barley
made ii advisable to begin re-
search along lines that would
conserve the barley industry Of
Wisconsin. while at the same
time bringing about economical
results for the housewife.
Wisconsin, according to re-
cent statistics. produces one
eighth Of the barley crop Ia the
United States.

II Is Il curious fact that attempts
we're made about the same time in the
congress of the United States and In
the storthing of Norway to muzzle the
press In the interest of the war. 1t is
no less interesting that so far the re-
suit has been the same. A member
of the cabinet Minister of Justice
Urbye. asked for a very drastic law
against the press. The bill was de-
feated by a vote of 40 to 80. A much
mIider bill was also rejected, the vote
this time being 81 to %. Mr.. Urbye
had to leave the cabinet In hurry.
The next day the Aftenposten contain
ed the following comment: IN all
parts Of the assembly it was realized
that the limit had been reached. A
minister of justice who wants to
abolish the liberty Of the press In our
country In the year 1917 is an ante
diIuvian phenomenon. He does not be-
long to the throbbing life of our day.
He must now be transferred to private
life. He ought to be thankful that he

Is the same thing as the people of

to be muzzled by any Mr.. Urbye. The

Is not satisfied with the secret traffic
carried on by the government. Mr..
Urbye supposed that the press was the
same thing as dozen faces around
the tables of the reporters. This was
his great folly. Therefore his fate was
bound to be a sad one

Little Peggy O'MOore,' the attrac-
ton that comes to the Auditorium on
Monday, January Sth, is billed as a
comedy Of youth. Halton Powell, who
has given US so many pleasing pro
auctions in the past, presents the
show and brings it to US after long
successful runs in the large cities.
It is pleasing to anticipate seeing a
show that does not deal with White
Slavery or pretend some much abused
moral lesson. Peggy O'Moore, a
quaint little Irish girl is played by
Miss Jane Lowe, who was born in
Newry, ireland. and still retains a
sweet Irish brogue which is a great
help to her in characterizing Peggy.
