British and French Experts Tell U. S.
of Latest Inventions.

The British and French scientific mis-
sion yesterday laid before the United
States government all that the allies
have learned concerning the application

Cludes not only the latest perfection OF
aeroplane devices and apparatus for COP.
ing with the submarine. which the al.
lies have acquired in three years OF ter.

the research experiments conducted by
the worlds leading physicists on sub.
| jects even remotely connected with war
The mission brought with them to
Washington over N large cases contain.
| ing all the latest devices, which until now
| have remained the secrets OF their re.
spective governments. These included
gas masks, drawings OF aeroplanes and
number OF new inventions for use on
| field wireless and telephones. all Of which
will be Of inestimable value to our army
and navy.
France and England sent their best
| men to give the benefit Of their know
ledge to America. For instance. Lieut.
Paternot. OF the Frenchc group, Is a
wireless expert who has been stationed
at the Eiffel Tower Capt Henri Abra-
ham, on the other hand. is an eminent
| physicist whose work has had to do

physicist who. with one or two other
men, has been dev6ting his time to the

more for radio-activity than any other
scientist.

men sent to France by the Research
Commission. The American Commission,

Toronto Like American City.

Toronto is the most American Of the
great Canadian cities, and also the
pEnost Canadian.
2 american" is here used as the Can
adian uses 1t, to mean the United
States. The mere geographical fact
that Canada is in America does not
count for anything with him. When he
says the American election or Ameri-

Toronto, being near the border, do
ing business with and after the fash
Ion of the United States and lacking
the picturesque element in its pOpula-
ton that makes Montreal and Quebec
different, is very much like Buffalo,
or any of several cities right across
the border. The people wear the same
kind Of clothes and talS the same kind
of slang, the buildings are the same
and the same articles are sold in the

ALL MUST BE ABLE TO READ
Exemptions In New immigration Law
4 in Favor Of Russian Jews Multi
w. fed by Revolution.

The new immigration law assumes a
new interest In view Of the changed
conditions In Russia.
This law excluded all alien immi-
grants more than sixteen years of age
who cannot read some language. But
1t exempts certain classes-exceptions
that are inserted mainly in the interest
of Russian Jews. Any immigrant who
can show that he comes to the United
States to escape religious and eco
nomic persecution Is admissible wheth-
er he can read or not.
This is the motive that has impelled
practically all the Russian Jewish inn
migration of the last 80 years, says
Worlds Work. Thus the new lmmigra-
ton law, had conditions remained in
tact, would have excluded practically
no immigrants such as congregate in
large numbers on the East side of New
York. With the removal of all re-
ligious and economic disabilities in
Russia as a result OF the Russian revo-
luton, this claim can TO longer be
made, and Russian Jews will now have
to be able to read. like all other Inn
migrants.

NATION OF BREAD MASTERS
United States only Country Where
People Throw Away the crusts,
Declares Traveler,

"Of all the lands that / have Wis
ited," says Sir Rabindranath Tagore,
"the United States is the only one
where a person eats the inside of a
slice Of bread and throws away the
crust" That the East Indian poet,
philosopher and trader meant this
literally is apparent from the obser-
walton that bread is the food most
commonly wasted in American
households. Because bread has been
the most inexpensive food Of the diet
for many years it has often been
wasted. Now the habit persists in
spite Of its increased cost.
Good, fresh bread has a spongy
texture which in time disappears,
leaving it dry and crumbly, the mois-
ture gradually passing out through
the crust.
There soon will be no stale bread
taken back by bakeries, and 1t is well
TO Know how to use it. Bread little
too stale to be appetizing may be
freshencd by putting it into the oven
a few minutes. Rolls and biscuits,
which dry out more rapidly than
loaves of bread, may be frcshened by
immersing them quickly in boiling
water and putting them into a hot
oven to dry out. They may be served
hot and will taste as fresh as when
first baked.
There are innumerable delicious
dishes That may be made from dry
bread, from bread buildings through
the list of escalloped dishes which
use bread crumbs. Any cook book
yields a number of recipes. The nu-
tritious elements remain in bread
even when it is dry.

AppIs Fruit Of Many uses.

There Is no fruit that lends itself
TO SO many varied uses as the apple.
IIt may be evaporated or dried and
kept an indefinite period and then
cooked In much the same way as
fresh fruit. There are also many by
products. The juice is pressed and
used according to its age and stages
OF fermentation as sweet cider, haro
cider or vinegar. The whole apple
and even the parings from the evap-
orators are used for apple butter, jei-
lies, jams, etc, and in recent years
the cuils and cores from the evapo-
Irators have been dried and sold for
"a ton for export to Europe and re-
turned to US later In the form OF
high priced supported wines"

War Conservation.

"In the midst of monster -destruc-
ton" writes Isaac F. Marcosson in
Everybody's. "an enormous conserva-
ton is achieved. Only the dead are
laid away. Nothing is strapped
They make laces out Of castof shoes
redeem shattered guns; convert refuse
fat into glycerin; replenish the flick
ering fires Of life itself. War Is not
all waste.
"And when this moving picture, more
animated than any imaginative play
ever thrown upon cinema screen. has
passed before you. you realize. even
before a single shot is fired. that en-
ergy and organization OF the highest
order have been tested to a well-nigh
incredible extent

WISDOM Or CENSORSHIP.

The British newspaper fraternity
loses no opportunity to hammer at
the restrictions and excuses of the

somewhat as follows: "Cannon to

CT them, cannon behind them, vol
lcycd and Numbered. So quoted
the enthusiastic war correspondent.
But the censor cut out this passage.

BRITISH PosTMEN IN WAR.

Some wonderful figures of the
work of the British post Office are
given in the report of the British
postmaster general for 1856. Of
10000 employees who have Joined

Victoria Cross has been won by two
postmen; eight officers have received
the D. S. o. and twenty-five the mill
tary cross; 1876 men have gained the
distinguished conduct medal and 62
the military medal, while POI have
been mentioned in dispatches.
