most too hot to breathe, says the Pop ular Science Monthly. When the men are at their posts the iron hatch is closed down, and the air sucked in through a ventilator has to pass thru the furnace before it gets to them.
 So long as the pumps work well and the evaporated water is displaced with automatic regularity by fresh neither the tubes nor the boiler casting can get dangerously hot. But sometimes without apparent cause the water slow ly descends below the level Some, times the cause of mischief is leak age-a pipe broken or a joint strained that allows the water to escape.

 For one who has been through the Gehenna of Nations in France. and for the millions who remain, as I went, to lay down my life for the defense of my country and the beloved one at home, I thank you sir, with simple soldiers prapeyr that your wonderful picture (which I saw tonighD may awaken your own great race to the Demoniac madness of modern war.

The soldiers who fight with least recognition in the battles at sea are the stokers of the destroyers running at full speed Eight men work under the command of a stoker petty officer in a space so narrow that movement of any kind seems impossible There is a furnace in front and one in the back. Sandwiched in between is a maze of levers, pipes, pumps and gear.
 Yet within these close quarters the stokers find space to perform their heartbreaking toll in an atmosphere al

LYRIC

Following "Playthings'' this weeks
attraction at the Lyric theatre, the
management. has decided to present
the Poll players in musical farce
by George M. Conan entitled The
Little Millionaire" A photoplay fea-
ture entitled 1.-The Tar-Heeled War

ire on Saturday night. Walt Whit
man is featured.
Dudley Ayers, in this musical farce
will have what is perhaps the most
important role awarded him since his
connection with the present organiza-
ton. He takes the part of Robert
Spooner so. successfully that he man
ages to provide the nucleus for the
plot which skirmishes in and out OF
the three acts of hilarity.
Two large stories instead of one en-
Lgage the attention. The local of the
story is the Spooner mansion and en-
virons.

for the occasion, and the members OF

SHUBERT

Probably everyone in America-and
in other countries of the world, and
in the islands of the sea-know that
Victor Herbert was born in Dublin,
which no doubt has something to do
in the lightsomeness and gaiety of his
music. 1t is not surprising then that
this greatest of American composers
should have found musical inspira-
ton, said to be- his finest, when he
sat down to write the score Of
Eileen" a romantic comic opera
which. deals with Island and her
traditions.
{ Eileen was voted foremost
among a season of musical successes
in New York last year and the an
nouncement that it will come to the
Shubert theatre, for a return engage
ment of one week, commencing Mon
day, Oct. End, with matinees Wednes-
day and Saturday, will no doubt create
much pleasurable interest.
The production Of Eileen" de-
mands a large orchestra, which is car
ried by the company, to give full
value to Victor Herbert's delightful
score. elaborate stage settings and a
numerous company which among
others include Walter Seaman, Olga
Roller, Louise Allen, Irene Rowan
Josie Claflin, Scott Welsh, Algernor
Greig, Edward Martindel, John b
kCooke, Harry Crosby, together with &
large and well trained chorus.

REPRESENTATIVES of all the differ
emit women's organizations in the city

room of the Sea Side club and listened
to addresses by D. Fairchild Wheeler,
food director of Bridgeport, and
George Cove of the chamber of COM
merce, relative to the campaign for
Food Conservation Week." which is
to take place from Oct. 20 to Novem-
Der 4. Mrs. H W. Fleck who is serv-
ing on the committee in charge with
Mr.. Wheeler and Mr.. Shaw, presided
at the meeting.
Mr4;Gove spoke first and empha-
sized the fact that we must send food
abroad, as the Allied nations even in
times of peace get 40 per cent OF
their :foodstuffs from abroad mainly
| from South America, Australia and
this country. Now it is impossible to
ship from any country but our own
and the burden falls on our shout
ders.
Mr.. Cove said that Democracy was
on trial and that it rested with the
women of this country as to whether
or not this initial step of Democracy
would prove a failure. These Other

Etiquette

HOUSEWIFE In the most correct ia
BILE service a tray is not used, except
ing when the maid is passing two or
more small articles, such as sugar
bowl and cream pitcher or oil and
vinegar cruets. Instead of a tray, a
folded napkin rests on the palm of
the left hand; and each dish that is
passed is carried on this, and held in
place by the other hand. In remov-
ing dishes from the table after a
course is finished, no dish should be
set on another. After the large dishes
have been removed, the tray again
comes into use for collecting the
small dishes.
