On the Meade the following COM

The young sea bakers being trained
by the shipping board are under the
direction Of skilled instructors, who
give them not only verbal advice, but
supply them with written directions
covering the more obvious points In
their new work.
Here are few "hints" issued to the
student bakers on the Bradford:
To achieve success, the baker must
use judgment and care. Some flour
requires more water or milk than 9TH
ers, so that the quantity may have to
be varied to make dough of proper
| consistency.
Different bakings will vary as to
time and heat required and should,
therefore, be examined occasionally.
To ascertain whether the bread or
cake Is sufficiently done In the CEN
ter Of the loaf. thrust clean straw
or long, thin splinter into It. IN
done, there will be no dough on 1t
when drawn out.
Measure the flour and be careful to
mix with 1t the baking powder In a
dry state, and before sitting.
You can always substitute water for
milk or milk for water, butter for
lard or lard for butter.
In cake the number of eggs may be
increased or diminished, or In plain
er cake dispensed with entirely.
Where fewer eggs are used than
directed, always use little more bak-
ing powder. Never use sour milk.
In baking loaf cake, remember that
unless you place piece Of paper over
for protection at first, top crust will
be formed at once, that prevents the
raising. When cake is well raised re-
move the paper for browning on top.

had steadily improved. Now a sailor
lives as well as most workingmen
ashore, and better than many. He has
"soft" bread daily, and both puddings
and pies In their place.
To provide for the needs Of the crew
in bread and pastry each large Ameri-
can merchant ship carries a bakeshop
and baker. The bakeshop is equipped
with the latest type Of oven for bak-
ing bread and pastry In quantity. The
baker is skilled not only In his trade
but in working under sea-going con-
ditions-and that means not only his
ability to keep steady stomach In
rough weather. and while at work I'M
consciously to change his balance from
one foot to the other as the ship rolls
from side to side, or pitches In q
strong head sea.
The sea baker can do these things
because he Is trained to do them. The
latest accessions to the bread and
pastry workers aboard Uncle Sans
merchant ships in fact are graduates
from schools for sea bakers, maintain
ed by the United States shipping
board. One of these schools Is on
board the boards training ship Meade,
at Boston, another on the training
ship Bedford, at New York.
The students in these schools are
volunteers from among the 5000 or
more apprentices that the shipping
board is training each month on a
squadron Of IL training ships, for serv-
ice In merchant marine crews.
Art and Mystery In Breadmaking.

time ship builders trade, which the
master builder was supposed to i'm
part only to his apprentices, is pres.
ent In the making of good bread at
sea. 1t is one thing to raise" dough
in n kitchen at home, where both the
room and the temperature are stable
and quite another to get similar re-
suits at sea, where the bakers kitch'
IN is always in motion, and is usually
1rafty.
The sea bakers apprentice therefore
Is first taught the Importance of tenn
perature In handling dough. This is
impressed on him as he acquires mas
terry of mixing, and gets the trick OF
wetting the dough Just enough.

appeals to the beginners, because of
the subtle and unseen influence of
temperature and handling that makes
for success or failure In breadmak-
ing. Once the student masters this
part of the art, he finds the rest of
breadmaking plain sailing.
Baking Is done I'm quantity. An or
binary baking oven on training ship
will take 80 loaves at time. The
average time for baking a batch of
bread Is three-fourths of an hour. On
the Meade the ovens work "a hours a
day, with three shifts of 30 students
each on the job.
War Recipes Used by Sea Bakers.
One reason why the sea bakers
bread is not exactly like the old-tirhe
home product Is that war recipes only
are now used on the merchant fleets,
as on land.
While these recipes restrict the use
of wheat -four and require the use
of substitutes, they encourage initia-
tive on the part of the instructors
and their students In the shipping
boards breadmaking schools.
Experiments made by the sea bakers
with various combinations of ingre-
dents have produced some excellent
war bread, and also have shown some
interesting economical results.
On the Bradford, for example, a
standard bread has been produced by
the use of rs per cent wheat flour
and % per cent of combined cornmeal
and potato flour. This is baked in
loaves weighing a pound and a half
each. 1t has been found that this

DRAMATIC REUNION
OF FATHER and SON
Remarkable Incident of the War
Occurs in Y. M. C. A. Hut
in London.

Eagle hut, In London was crowded
as usual the other night when griz-
zled veteran in the uniform of the
Second London Scottish regiment made
his way to the desk and asked the "Y"
secretary In charge If there was any
one from Boston In the building. Be
fore he joined the colors Sergt. Maj.
J. Ripple had lived In Boston, and he
yearned for sight of some one from
the New England metropolis.
Over In one corner of the room two
young men sat In earnest conversation.
Both had been blinded on the Marine
and one of them, George Arthur Sug-
den, had returned from German
prison camp after eight months to
seek his cousin, Vincent Francis Rip
pie, q sergeant in the Thirty-first Ca
madam rifles, in which both had en-
listed soon after the war broke out.
BY chance they had come together I'M
der the hospitable Y. M. G. A. roof and
were busily engaged in having a real
reunion when the "Y" man shouted
through megaphone:
as there any one here from Boston?
A veteran who halls from Boston
wants to see some one from home"
"Here! Here!" came from the cor
ner and two sightless pairs Of eyes
turned toward the voice. And as the
cousins rose to their feet and halting-
ly started through the lane made as
the crowd stepped back, Sergeant
Major Ripple pushed toward them.
There was an expression of hope in
his face that the casual observer would
have said could not have been inspired
merely by a desire to see some one
from Boston.
Suddenly that expression of hope
was changed. Sergeant Major Ripple
had been looking everywhere for his
son and his nephew.
'My son" he cried, in a voice that
shook with emotion. "Vincenti And
Georgep
And in a moment his great arms
were crushing them to him. There
were cheers, and not few tears, as
room was made in the corner for the
three.

The training of bakers for service
at sea is novelty In the merchant
service. 1t originated In the great
demand for skilled breadmakers on
the hundreds of new ships being built
by the shipping board for the govern
ment. Fundamentally it was prompt
ed by the requirements of the mod
ern sailors diet, which is vastly better
than his sea-going ancestors ever
dreamed of having.
In grandfather's day ship took on
her supply of bread for voyage In
casks, before leaving home. This sup
ply was to last until the end Of the
voyage, though that might be year or
two. The bread was in the form Of
hard biscuits. 1t kept fairly well
when dry, but often 1t got damp and
moldy, or wOrmy.
The old-time American sailors ideal
of dietary luxury therefore was plenty
of "soft," fresh bread. Coupled with
that he had daily visits of pies and
buildings such as mother made back
In Nantucket, or New London, or New
Bedford; but these he tasted while
at sea in fancy only, for his sole des-
sert, after his meal of hard bread and
salt pork or beef, or of "scouse" or
"salt-hOrse" hash, was portion once
a week or so of duff, which one sailor
author of so years ago described as
nothing more than -four boiled with
water and eaten with molasses."
