STRIKERS SCORED.
They Are Profteering, Said Senator
Thomas.

Washington, ID, c., July 22,--The semi
weekly meeting Of Congress to-day held
the Senate in session 40 minutes and the
House four. An address praising the
conduct of the American troops in France
was delivered by Senator Lewis of Illi-
nois.
Senator Thomas of Colorado urged i'm
mediate action to have Congress fix
wages and prevent strikes.
Referring to reports that 81 900 per-
sons are on strike in New England and
about 1000 in New Jersey, while the
allies are securing triumph on the battle
field, and while submarine is operating
off the Atlantic coast, Senator Thomas
declared the strikers were failing to do
their duty and were giving aid and COM
fort TO the enemy.
at is profteering in the worst sense;
securing more money from the govern
ment and suspsnding production" said he.

Prize-winning Recipes.

The following recipes won prizes from
western newspaper, and are printed
herewith through the kindness of one to
whom the paper was sent. The selection
Of the prize winner was determined by
the character of the recipe itself and its
usefulness to the average family. Two
Of the three recipes are for bread, be.
cause they are entirely different and will
prevent the "sameness" which seems to
result from any except wheat bread.
The recipes are as follows:
Three-Cereal War Bread cupful dry
rice, cups rolled oats, yeast cake, 2
tablespoons shortening tmay be omit
ted, cups finely ground corn meal, 2
quarts water, 2 tablespoons molasses or
corn syrup, teaspoon salt 5 cups wheat
flour. Boil rice in water for 25 minutes.
Use water in which rice was cooked to
make the sponge Mash the cooked rice
kernels or put through potato ricer. Mix
rice and rice water, oatmeal, syrup and
Yeast cake and let rise for two hours.
Add rest of materials to sponge to make
soft dough and knead on a Toured
board. Let rise again for two or three
hours, then form into three loaves.
When light, bake in moderate oven
for one hour. This bread saves over So
per cent of wheat flour usually used in
bread and with the better grades of -four
the saving is trife over go per cent.
Owing to changes in weather, causing
differences of evaporation of the water
in boiling the rice, it may be necessary to
add little more corn meal and -four
than the recipe calls for before the loaves
are made up.
War Cookies-6 tablespoons sugar, 6
tablespoons butter substitute, " cups
rolled oats, ! egg, teaspoon baking
powder,% cup corn meal. Put the rolled
oats through meat grinder, using the
peanut cutter. Mix dry ingredients well,
then stir in melted butter substitute and
egg well beaten. Make into dough and
work thoroughly with the hands. Roll
to "A inch thickness; cut into desired
shapes. Bake in slow oven until a
light brown. All measurements used are
level.
Oatmeal Rye Bread cup hot, cooked,
oatmeal mush, cup scalded milk tea

EVEN THE SWEDES
ADMIT ALLIED SUCCESS
Complete REIMBURSEMENT of German Of
fensive and Admission of It's
Failure Seen.

London, July % tvia Ottawa A de
spatch from Stockholm yesterday said
that the pro-German press of Sweden
does not attempt to minimize the i'm
portance of the allied advance. The Ger
man recrossing Of the Marine marks the
complete REIMBURSEMENT of the great of
fensive and admits its failure. All abor-
tive explanations from Berlin, 1t says,
cannot alter the fact, and nobody will
credit the statement that the German
high command has achieved its aim On
the other hand, the Importance Of the
success of the French counter offensive
cannot be estimated. Success was pre-
pared for and made possible by the
method of elastic Defense" which the
Germans claimed was their speciality.

RECRUITING BRISK.
Irish Are Turning to the British Naval
Service.

Dublin, July 23.-Lieutenant Percy, di-
rector of naval recruiting in Ireland, de-
clares that recruiting for the British
navy was never more brisk in Ireland
than it is at present, There are Irish
men in every department from the ad-
mirals down, and the recruiters in the
towns and villages throughout Ireland
are always warmly welcomed.
Dublin has just given cordial send off
to a number of recruits of the trawler
section of the royal naval reserve. This
branch appeals particularly to Irish fish
er boys who have experienced in the past
few months around the Irish coasts the
cruelty with which the German subma-
rine campaign is conducted.
The recruits paraded the streets of
Dublin accompanied by bluejackets and
marines and the band of the Berkshire
regiment. Among the inscriptions on the
banners in the procession were;
"The Germans are sinking Irish ships
and numbering Irishmen. Join us and
ayenge these crimes"
I'VE are Beatty's boys, brother Irish
men, come along"

THE POETS TO FRANCE.
BY Teodorsia Garrison of The vigi-
lantes.

We cannot name you save upon our
knee
France! Francel what fitting tribute
may we bring
That would not seem a pitiful, poor
thing
Against your splendor and your ago
nies
You who withstood the strength of iron
seas
A rock wherefrom Gods beacon still
shall fling
The light that brings world from ship
wrecking,
Seeing by you it steers its argosiesI
France! Francel there are no words to
make your song
There is no song wherewith to honor
you;
But note by note through many centu-
Shall rise the perfect tribute clear and
strong,
Giving your fame at last the ringing due.
We cannot name you save upon our
knees.

EXCITING TRAINING
FOR 4VI4TORS
"Desultory Bombing" Over One Spot for
an Hour or More to Distract the
Attention of Anti-Air-
craft Defenders.

Behind the British Lines in France
July 20 correspondence of The Associat-
ed Press - One of the most exciting
tasks to which airmen are assigned is
what is known as "desultory bombing
over one spot for an hour or more The
object is to distract the attention of the
anti-aircraft defenders of a given dis
trict, and machine carrying a dozen or
more bombs is employed for the work.
AT first the airmen, pilot and an OBJ
server, approach their target cautiously
With engines throttled down, the craft
glides nearer and nearer. Below all is
quiet. No German searcklights are sweep
ing the sky When the attackers are al
most over their objective, rocket rises
toward them and bursts in cluster of
red stars. The machine has been discov.
cred. At once six or seven searehlights
throw their beams aloft, The pilot looks
at his watch; it is time to begin his
desultory bombing.
He flies steadily on, although bar
rage of bursting shells lies now in front
of him. The observer looks through the
wires of his bombsight to the ground
below. At the proper instant he thrusts
his lever forward and releases two
bombs. few seconds later he sees the
fash of their explosions, and above the
cracking barrage he can hear two dull
roars. He signals to the pilot, and the
machine turns and sweeps away from the
fiery ring of shells of searchhghts.
A few miles away the airplane flies to
and fro at top speed. The puzzled search
lights vainly feel the sky in all diree-
tions and then, one by one, are switched
off.
Then the pilot quickly zsoves again
toward the target Another bomb is
dropped AS it explodes the sesrchlights
reappear and the harrage is renewed,
while through the thiekly grouped shell
bursts are threaded the chains OF green
flaming globes, so much used by the Ger
mans.
Again the machine flies away, and
this time, to bewilder still more the
soldiers below, the observer fires a white
Verey light, which slowly drifts below
and fades out. All the searchlights fol-
low it until 1t dies.
Repeatedly the airmen return to the
attack Bombs are dropped at intervals
until the end Of the hour, when the ma
chine departs, pickering fires and clouds
of smoke telling of the havoc wrought by
the bombs.

moroRwoMEN IN GLASGOW.
But in London Some of the City officials
Object to Them.

London, July %. 'Motorwomen" have
arrived in London at last. In the prov.
inces, notably in Glasgow, women have
been on the front end Of tramway cars
for several years, but in London some of
the city officials objected to them. The
scarcity of men, however, has increased
to such an extent that these objections
were finally overcome.
The first women to actually run tram
way cars appeared in the borough of
Walthamstown few days ago, and it is
the intention of the tramway company
officials to hire more women as rapidly
as they can be trained. They are to re-
ceiye the same wages as the men.

Has Greatly Agitated the Newspapers
of That City.

Amsterdam, July 23.-The German
are much agitated over an
epidemic of horse stealing in Berlin. In
a single week recently, horses valued

provinces, where they fetch fancy prices,
or are used for clandestine butchering
in Berlin. A pair of fine race horses
recently disappeared during race meet
ing at the Grunewald course.

Four awful automobile wrecks,
similar to the one that befcl the
Ledford family have occurred in
Central Kentucky during the past
three weeks. The first was near
Shelbyville, when a touring party of
five people were killed at a crossing.
The HUM family of six were killed
near Morcland. the following day,
five members Of the Shelton family
were killed near Bardstown, when
the engine Of the car went dead on
the crossing.
In view Of so many such accidents
the following should be Of interest
to the readers of the Central Record :
According to a bulletin issued by
the Illinois Central and Y, NJ. v
railroad companies, in a period Of
four months, from June 2Sth TO Oct
2Sth, inclusive, there were twenty
four persons killed and forty-nine
persons injured in automobile grade
crossings accidents on the Illinois
Central System. Other railroads
report similar experiences The re-
port further says; :
Ponderous steam locomotives,
drawing heavy trains, composed Of
many ears. carry the products of the
farms to the markets and the commo-
dities of the markets back to the
farms. In other words, the railroads
are the Intermediates which accell-
crate the hum of industry.
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1918-06-27

Should heavy trains be required
to stop at grade crossings in order to
avert collisions with light, iwiftly
moving, easily controlled AUTOMOBILE
es, which enjoy the freedom of the
roads, their direction not being CON
trolled by steel rails laid on tires?
Or should the automobiles, with their
loads of human freight, be required
to stop at railway grade crossings?
We submit thi, question to the
public.
There is now in use one automo-
bile to every forty-four people . in
the United States, and the number
is constantly increasing. Autom5-
bile grade crossing catastrophes are
also increasing.
Absolute safety of automobile
drivers at railway grade crossings
only requires slight effort on their
part, but many fail to make this ef-
fort.
Recently, this company has care
fully checked one hundred grade
crossings located on all parts of the
system. Compilation Of the checks
diseloses the startling information
that seventy-two per cent of the au-
tomobilists do not look in either dir
ection, but run over the crossings at
a reckless and dangerous rate of
speed in total disregard of their own
safety.
