ARMY MEALS COOKED IN AIR
Food for Italians in Alpine Fighting Is Heated En Route on the TheF.
 mos Principle.

The most novel commissary in the war is that employed by the Italians in the Alpine fighting against the in- vaders. The kitchens are oftentimes 1900 feet below the men, writes an Italian correspondent, yet the sol- diers get their meals steaming hot.
 Aerial tramways are the only thing that makes the brilliant defense of the Italians possible, for without warm food and drink constantly ar- irving they would be unable to with stand the cold in their high posts where they command vital passes and hold the invaders back.
 It is impossible for the troops on these high lodges to have fires, lack of space and secrecy making stove or smoke impractical. The cooking therefore is begun far below in kitchens, finished in thermos bottles and freless cookers that bear the food aloft.
 Huge cuts of meat and thick vege- table stews are placed over roaring fires down at the timber line where there is fuel in plentitude and then before finished put into vessels which apply the thermos principle so that by the time they have reached their destination high overhead they will be cooked through and palatable.

On the occasion of the marriage, the en- peror appointed Richthofen ms "equerry airman," and it is said that in consequence of this appointment he will hencforth devote his time en- tirely to the training of new fighting squadrons.

WOULD NOT STAY DEAD

Having sent Tommy out to play, mother anticipated having a little spare time for herself. However, he had scarcely been out fifteen min utes when he indignantly bounced back in again.
 'What brings you back so soon? ?' inquired mother. "I thought you were out playing with Billy"
 ''I was, but I'll never play with him again as long as I live" en- phatically declared Tommy.
 "What did he do?" anxiously asked mother.
 "It's not'what he did do, but what he didn't do. We played war, he was a German, and I killed him, and he admitted it, and now he won't stay dead"

FACE the FACTS

EFT face the facts. The situation is critical. L Unless the Allies fight they never yet have fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight at their best; hungry nations. France England, and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them. Wheat Savinss They must have wheat. It is the best food to fight It is the easiest to ship We alone spare it to them. By saving just little less than quarter of what ate last year-we can support those who are fighting our battles And we do it without stinting ourselves. We have only to substitute another food just as good. The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the hour of our need It has given in such bounty never known before. Tons of corn Train loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and above our regular needs All we have to do is to learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made easy? And so clear?
 Americas Own Food-Corn! It is the true American food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived it. Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered continent For great section of our country it has blong cen the staff of llfe How we'll the South fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America win world war.
 Learn somethng-Corn! It isn't food It's dozen. It's cereal. It's vegetable It's bread It's dessert. It's nutritious food value in it. vegetables; It's good, to eat how good you don't know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic Corn's Infinite Variety-How much do you know about corn? About how good it is?s About the many delicious ways of cooking it?

CHRISTMAS EVE AT
NAVAL RESERVE BASE


The Y. NJ. c. A. hut at the Fourth
Naval Lewes Base Monday evening
was the scene oil most enjoyable and
merry Christmas surprise for the Y
NJ. C. A. secretary, Joseph Mcconnell,
and the chaplain, Dr. C. II. b. Turner.
After the boys had completed a musical
program Mr. Mcconnell was presented
with a handsome Hamilton watch in
a velvet case. and Dr.. Turner was
given a fine Edison victrOla with many
beautiful records. Both men were
completely surprised and delighted at
the marks OF appreciation Each made
response in fitting speech. The hut
rang with loud applause OF SIX nun
dred boys.
Mr.. Mcconnell has been at the
Lewes Base only a few months, during
which time he has gained the conf
dence and good VIII OF the boys. Dr..
Turner has been interested since the
first few boys came TO the Base and
an every way has tried. and succeeded,
too. to make the boys happy. HIS
home. ST. Peters rectOry, is always
open to them and few nights pass
without a bunch OF the boys taking |
advantage of his hospitable roof. There /
is always room, even when the beds |
are full-on chairs and couches.
DR.. Turner has lived in Lewes as
rector OF ST. Peters church for more
than sixteen years and has become
identified in all the reform movements
Of the town and is well known through
out the State. He has been ever ready
to sacrifice his own comfort in trying
to better the conditions Of the town
and several times travelled to Washing
ton, d. c.. in behalf of the Base, try
ing to get the much needed public
road built between Lewes and the bar
racks. When he was appointed chap 4,
lain of the Base his cup Of happiness
was full. and if he were asked about
The past years work, he would place
It among the happiest of his life. He {
IS in his element when with the boys"
md they truly realize what he is doing
,or them. 81
Now that the boys are being muster '
ID out at the rate of so a day, it looks \
Is if the Base will soon cease to be
occupied by Naval Reserves, and no 3
me (not even the girls) will miss the a
Joys more than Dr.. Turner. a
The Red Cross sent from Philadel-
,hia and Wilmington more than 700
Christmas packages to the Base, which :,
we're distributed during the evening OF !
he 23rd, a memorable evening to those
privileged TO be present.
