NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD SATURDAY, MAT l2 1917.


 of bread day in each American home represents the flour from ap- proximately 7,0O0.O0O bushels of wheat. And wheat yesterday sold on the Chicago market at $3.2O a bushel. Slightly more than fourteen.-not quite ffteen,-bushels of wheat are raised on the average acre of ground. It would take the yield of almost half million acres just to provide single slice of bread to be wasted daily in every home. An army of farmers, railroad men, and fiourmill hands is required to produce and bring this flour to the public, aside from the freight cars and the use of many tons of coal. Figure 1t out. A slice of bread is not so inconsequen- tial after all. It should not be will fully thrown away.

 The Courier-Journal has often said 1t will be time enough for the Anglomania-America who used to be so much in evidence to fall on John Bulls neck and weep when the English made pilgrim age to Mount Vernon as we make pil- rrimage to Stratford- -on-Avon. At last that time has come. Just one other thing-justice to Ireland-and. though we shed no tears, we may take John to our heart of hearts as a long lost brother.

 sin That e'er led man astray. She set her mouth on my shaking lips Tn a dreadful, icy kiss; And on my eyes fell bleak eclipse, Made vile with the worms sharp hiss. Her bony arms round my throat were

GOOD RADIANCE.

Maximifian von Hoegen. the lawyer who became social outcast in New Haven after the severance of diplo- matic relations between this country and Germany because he flounted the German colors on his coat, defy- ing the authorities to remove them, has disappeared. Maximilian the Great has gone. It Is feared that he Is on his way to, or already in, Mexico for the purpose of stirring up trouble between that country and this. An announcement made at his office inti- mated that he had gone on a South Sea scientific expedition.
 It was after the explosion at tho Bethlehem Steel works last year, in which the lives of workmen were lost, that von Hoegen gave voice to the following sentiment: T have no doubt that the fire at the Bethlehem Steel works was set. If I knew who set it I'd pat him on the back. When these fellows can get no satisfaction they can take the law into their own hands. Von Hoegen was not inter- viewed after the Lusitania had been sunk. Had he been, he probably would have expressed desire to plant an enthusiastic Teutonic kiss on the brow of the submarine commander who ac- complished that gigantic murder.
 There should not be too much worry over the disappearance of this man from New Haven. He will be taken care of eventually, If not now. Men of his ilk have no place in the nation as 1t stands today. We are at war with Germany. No man in this nation. especially citizen, can give aid and comfort to the enemy, either in word or deed, without being guilty of treason. Enemy aliens know the law as 1t effects them. New Haven should rejoice at the disappearance of von Hoegen, and trust that his going away was part of the govern ment's plan to get rid of bad rubbish. It is good riddance.

It cost the Union three million dollars day to conduct the Civil war; that. of course, does not in- clude the south's expenditures. With the five billion dollar long term loan and the two billion dollar short term loan now being fioated together with the money raised by new taxation. the United States will spend more than twenty-five million dollars a day dur ing this war. There is a study in contrast.

against starvation. There is likewise
 little doubt but that many men will gladly offer their services to work on the public farm when they under-
 stand the situation. As to the hard
 work they will expend, and the pa- tience they might exercise. these arc
 matters that are not and cannot be governed by earthly laws. Men who have worked all day long in the fac- tories,-and one one, 1t Is understood. the farm,-may be expected to furnish an over expenditure of labor. Even if they are willing to- give every ounce of energy in their bodies there i is the possibility that few of them would know how to operate farming implements. It is quite step from the factory to the farm, unless one has had previous experience. As to the
 patience of men asked to plant and
 cultivate crops. that is . factor beyond
 discussion. Time and Good-Luck are the hand -maidens of successful farm
 ing. Will men engaged in working

 farming: This is an industrial, not
 an agricultural center.
 These thoughts must be turne2over
 and over il: the mind of every man in-s terested in the welfare of New Britt ain, and consequently in the nation. the serious shortage of food that ex- ists throughout the world. There must be some way of overcoming that shortage. If 1t cannot be completely accomplished by conservation. by sav- ing, by the elimination of waste, 1t
 must be done by . gigantic planting of crops on every available piece of land in the cities as we'll as the coun- try districts. Whether such planting can be better done by men hired espe- cially for that purpose. or by volun- tary labor, is the question. To date. this is a free country, and men, 50 long as they obey the laws of the land. cannot be forced into doing anything against their wishes. They may not want to farm after such a fashion
 There is no gainsaying the serious ness of the situation. There can be no doubt of the sincerity of the Mayor in advocating municipal farming. Vt Il . novelty. It may be worked out to good advantage; it may. if attempted, be . dismal failure. Because of these things 1t is the duty of every citizen In the city to give the matter solemn thought, to ponder well the things at stake, to go over thoroughly every phase of the situation. and then to tell the men at the head of the govern ment here just what to expect Mayor Quigley is asking for the CO., operation of the entire city.

HOW TO DISTINGUISH RANK.

HOW TO DISTINGUISH RANK.
 It would be useless for the new sol- dier to know the courtesies he must pay to rank unless he knows how to distinguish such rank. He must know the markings which designate tho of- f1cer and the non-commissioned offl- and he must also know the general symbols of the service. -
 The corporal, the lowest rank of on-commissioned officer, wears q pri- vate's uniform. with chevrons on his arm. A corporals chevrons consist of two parallel stripes of cloth in the shape of triangle without base, with slightly curvdng sides. The chew rons, in the olive drab uniform, are of a different shade of brown, while on the blue army uniform, they are of the color which distinguishes the .corporaps partioular branch of tho service,
 The sergeant, next in rank, wears chevrons of three stripes; while the first sergeant, chief non-commissioned officers of the company, wears chev- ron of three stripes, with square in the center.

A SLICE OF BREAD.

In measurement, g slice of bread attains the magnificent proportions of three inches long. two and half inches wide, and one inch thick. That is the average slice. The weight of q slice of bread is exactly one ounce. In many households one slice of bread is wasted each day. The total tonnage of this waste would amount up into the millions if computed by the year. Each week there are thou- sands of tons of good bread lost as food for man.
 A slice of bread is sometimes used when 1t is not needed, sometimes hacked and destroyed as a toy in the hands of . child. Seemingly an un- important thing. . slice of bread con- tafns < almost three-fourths of an ounce Of ,Aonr. And flour is going up in price evefy day. Along with . slice of bread there Is sometimes thrown away . quarter of a loaf. q half of.a loaf, or whole loaf of stale bread. This should be saved. There are many ways in which stale bread can bs used. If housewives do not
 know. the Connecticut Agricultural
 College can tell them. or. information along tho. sanfe lines can be garnered from the United states Department of Agriculture at Washington.
 A nation at war cannot afford to be extravagant with its foodstuffs. They must be conserved, not wasted. Every slice of bread must be accounted for. Every housewife must join the cam paign against wilful waste. Just what the saving 4f slice of bread means may 4e realized if the follow ing facts are closely perused.
