Convoy Has Proved
Most Effective Weapon
Against U-BOat Activity
By Associated Press

Base of the American F1otilla
in British Waters, Dot. 16.-
Diaries taken from captured u
boat commanders furnish docu-
mentary evidence that the de-
stroyer is the most effective of
present weapons against the
submarine. "Avoided destroyer"
is the oft-Tepcatcd entry. In fact
these logs show conclusivcly that
the submarines are having a
hard time of it.
The result of the destroyer ac-
tivity the last four weeks has
been not only decrease in Casu-
altlcs of merchant ships but also
u still more satisfactory increase
in the number of submarines
sunk.
The conveying of merchant
men has now reached u stage of
considerable perfection, after
many months work In training
both the officers of merchant
ships and the personnel of the
patrol flotillas. While systematic
conveying was undertaken pri-
marily as II defensive measure,
IL has now developed that con-
voying Is at tho same time the
best offensive measure yet de-
vised against the U-boat.

There sat in the shade of a Tree
the son of my son, and the daughter
of the daughter of Keturah. And
they are both small children, between
two and three years of age. And
they had each of them a Clay Pipe,
and between them was a Pan of Soap
Suds. And they spake unto me, say
ing, Come, Grandpa, and Blow thou
Soap Bubbles.
And / sat me down on the Pine
Needles, and i blew Soap Bubbles.
and they also blew. And when the
bubbles were blown the lad smote
the Bubbles with his Fist, for he is a
Man; and the damsel pricked them
with a Hairpin. And part of the
time blew and part Of the time the
children blew.
And some of the Bubbles brake be-
fore they began, and others swelled
into great round balls, and floated
afar. And the sun shone on them,
and there were all manner of colors.
even such as be in Rainbows. And |
marveled at the beauty Of the Bub-
bles, and at their frailty. And the
more | blew the more wonderful it
seemed. And / thought of Mighty
Power that could roll Worlds into
space with effort like unto that of the
blowing of bubbles to me. And
wondered if God did reckon His Bub-
bles, even the worlds that are for
a moment of time in the sight as God
reckoneth time to be of much more
consequence to the universe than
those which / blew. And / made lit
tie worlds of water and soap, and /
talked Profound Philosophy to the
two children, who understood me
quite as we'll as most philosophers
might have done. And / blew Bub-
bles and ! made Worlds in my Ina
gination.
And there came to us Keturah and
her daughter, and the wife of my son.
And they said, Behold these three
children. how they t'ay together.
And they said, When a pint of water
and the fourth part of cents worth
of soap will keep all three of them
happy for Three Solid Hours, there
can be no cheaper or more harmless
amusement.

The Man Who Wins

The man who wins is the man who
goes
Ahead with his work each day;
Who's never struck by his adverse
luck,
But makes of his labors play;
From early dawn he will toll right
on,
And know that the worlds all right.
And he sings a song as he goes along,
For it sharpens his appetite.
The man who wins is the man who
smiles
And sees that the sky is blue;
He is always there with great big
share
OF smiles and of sunshine, too;
> He never growls, and he never howls
That the world is out of gear
But he meets the shocks and the
jealous knocks
With great, broad smile of cheer.
The man who wins is the willing man,
Who grinds while others play;
The sun shines bright and his hearts
all right,
Though things may not come his
way.
He makes a boast that to get the
most
OF life away ev'ry newborn day,
If you ever expect to win.

Today's Poem

III We Only Knew
II we could but draw back the cur
tains
That surround each others lives;
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we would find it better
Purer than we judge we should;
We would love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we would love the sinner
All the while we loath the sin.
Could we see the powers working
To o'erthrow integrity,
We would Judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
Knew the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim external roughness
See, | wonder, just the same?
Would we help where now we hinder?
Would we pity where we blame?
ALL We Judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force,
Knowing the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source,
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
All! We would love each other bet
ter
If we only understood. r. w. A.

Eat More Cheese


"Store" cheese more properly
known as American Cheddar--is more
nourishing pound for pound, than
any meat and therefore should have
prominent place in the diet as a
meat substitute.
Few people in this country eat
cheese in sufficient qualities for it
really to form an important part of
the daily fare. Indeed, it is used
more often simply as an appetizer or
as seasoning for some other food.
Nearly every one relishes good
American Cheddar. or "store" cheese,
but there is an impression that it is
indigestible and constipating Exten-
sive digestion experiments carried on
by the Department of Agriculture
have demonstrated that more than 80
per cent of the protein of cheese is
digested and 90 percent of it's energy
is available. Even when eaten in
large qualities and for long periods,
no case of Indigestion, constipation,
or other disturbances were observed
in those who ate it. One man who
ate cheese as the chief source of both
protein and energy, eating an aver
age of 9.27 ounces daily, with bread
and fruit, for more than two years,
did fair amount of muscular work
and kept in good health.
American Cheddar cheese is a very
satisfactory substitute for meat. 1t
can be kept in storage for a long
time, and contains much food in small
volume.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a
pound of fowl or round steak and al
most twice as much protein as the
same amount of fowl or ham,. Cheese.
therefore, is usually a cheaper food
than the meats.
Cheese can also be combined in
many palatable dishes, When graf
ed it may be used in soups or with
many vegetables. Other foods in
which cheese is used are: Macaroni
and cheese, vegetable and cheese
rolls, cheese omelet, oatmeal and
cheese, and cheese mash.

A Causeless Quarrel

Elmer and his younger brother
were in the back yard building lit
tie barn of some bricks which they
had gathered together. They were
getting along nicely until they came
TO the place where each had an idea
of his own. Elmer knew his way was
right, and his brother was equally
certain that his was the correct way.
A quarrel started which ended in the
brother crying and Elmer kicking the
wall down as he started away and
calling back, "Cry-baby, cry-baby."
Elmer did not feel just right about
il las he climbed into the shed loft
and threw himself onto the hay. A
few minutes later he was fast asleep.
His eyes were hardly closed when he
heard terrible confusion in the shed
below. He listened and learned that
the horse, the cow and the sheep,
who had always lived together in
peace, had suddenly fallen into a
rage, each toward the other two.
Elmer trembled as he realized the
fury to which the dispute was apt to
lead. There was no telling what
such anger might do.
Luckily old Rover, the dog, happen
ed along and each of the trio appealed
to him for a decision. Now, Rover
was both wise and brave. He gave a
vicious growl and order was restored.
"Now," he asked, "what is all this
about? Let each one state his case
and I'll judge between you. And all
must abide by my decision"
The horse spoke first. '"Your Hon.
or, the question is: Which is the cor
rect way to bite off grass. So far as
/ am concerned there is no quarrel.
l know; but my friends here have
gone crazy. / say that it is to be
bitten off with side jerk of the head,
thus" Here he illustrated his point.
81 know this is right, for it came ma
turally to me. Besides my mother,
my grandmother, and all my ancest-
ors, as far back as our history goes,
ate this way"
Here the COW spoke up. Gle and
all his ancestry are wrong. / can
trace my history back as tar as he
can his. All my foreparents bit, or
rather broke, the grass off with a
forward movement, thus" She, too,
illustrated her meaning. "The rea-
son i know, beyond the shadow Of a
doubt, that / am right is that none
of US ever had any upper front teeth.
We could not eat otherwise if we
wished to-"
At this the sheep "butted in" $50
far as ancestors are concerned, every
body knows that mine were more in
telligent, and therefore more apt to
be correct, than either of theirs.
They always nibbled their grass,
which is the proper way. As my
mother told me, we can eat it closer
to the ground. Now if the horse or
COW want to get seriously hurt just
let either of them say that my mother
was wrong. ! know what I'm talking
about.
30 foolish fools!" said Rover.
you remind me of people They
quarrel and fight and even kill one
another over just such senseless
things. Next you will be wanting to
quarrel with me over how to drink.
The Lord made US all, didn't He?
And there is more than one way, even
right way, to do thing. The import
ant thing is the grass"
Elmer remembered il all the next
day in rebuilding their barn, and he
and his brother easily agreed as to
how it should be built.
