The Playground.

Vacation time has ended in
Colorado's. hills; the tourists
home have wendell, to talk
about their thrills. In other
years they wandered, regardless
of the cost, and 1avishly they
squandered, and cared not what
they lost. You'd think, to see
them throwing their banknotes
to the breeze, that stuff like that
was growing upon the old home
trees. This year they skimped
and boarded, they missed no
savings points, and men of
money boarded at humble chill
joints. I often heard them say
ing, the tourist girl and gent,
well do the kind of playing
that doesn't cost a cent. I'd like
to hire a burro to climb yon
beetling crag, but that would
plow a furrow in my small roll
of swag. I'd like to drive you,
honey, to Long Peaks famous
pond, but 1 must save my money
to buy another bond. Up there
to Hallett's grotto on: foot we'll
blithely tramp; the rental of an
auto would buy US many a
stamp" I saw the Wall street
rooter, who's loaded with long
green, jaunt round in car of
pewter; he'd shelved his limou-
sine. Men said, eve must re-
member, while we are playing
here, that shortly, in September,
the new loan will appear; and
we must have the Doodle to buy
ten bonds or more we'll back up
Yankee Doodle till Kaiser Bill
is sore" They're loyal? Pretty
near it! 1t surely makes me gay
when people show that spirit,
while out of doors at play.

HOPE TO CUT PRICE
BY SPECIAL MENUS
Food Administrator Announces
Plan for Public Eating
Places.

Special menus arranged by the Dis
trict food administration are to be
issued to public eating places in
Washington, with view to securing
better food combinations at lower
prices. In carrying out this plan the
local administration will have the as
sistance of the Department of La
Dor and the District health depart
ment. .--.
This is the net result Of more than
three months consideration of the
public eating place situation here,
which. because Of the heavy inhux OF
war workers and the greatly In
creased food prices, has resulted In
complaining on the part OF the pub
lie.
The local food administrator plan.
ned at first to establish fair prices
such as are published weekly Tor the
food stores, and to formulate definite
plans a special committee was APP
pointed which was composed prin.
cipally Of managers or proprietors OF
public eating places.
But the establishment of Fair
not be practicable, according to a
statement made by the local adminis-
traitor several days ago. He said ne
based his statement on the study
made by his special committee. BY
this new plan of furnishing special
menus he hopes to reduce consider
ably the number of complaints.
The details of the plan were dis
cussed at conference held late yes
terday afternoon which was attended
by a number of restaurant and lunch
room men, two representatives Of the
Department of Labor and one repre-
sentative Of the District health de-
partment It also was decided to In
stitute a more systematic inspection
ton it was agreed that the local adj
ministration and the health depart
ment cooperate closely.
Milk prices were discussed and 1t
was agreed that a rule should be es-
tablished which would set the price
of milk in public eating places at
cents a glass, cup or mug.

HONORS MEMORY
/ OF Mr.. GALL|NGER
East Washington Citizens
Association Records Testi-
monjal to Late Senator.

At a meeting of East Washington
Citizens. Association. held last night
in East Washington Hall, 1t was voted
TO record a testimonial Of the asso-
Citations deep regret of the loss OIL
the late Senator Jacob H. Gallinser
of New Hampshire. who represented
his state in the upper branch OF Con-
gress for a period of more than
twenty years. S W. Curriden pre-
sented the resolution, which was sec
onded by Dr. Charles NJ. Emmons,
president, who said Senator Gallinger
was as fair a man as ever occupied
seat in Congress.
Text of the Resolution.
Secretary Howard Buckler was di-
rected to record the following:
Painfully familiar as this assocla-
ton is with members of Congress who
ind it desirable to assaiI the National
Capital, which they believe can De
done with political safety and posi-
bly, with political profit, We here
gladly testify that Mr.. Gallinger was
not of this stripe. Consistent with
his high Office of senator. representing
the great state of New Hampshire. he
at all times gave careful study to the
present and future needs of this great
city, with powers of provision rarely
met with. To members of this asso-
citation he always gave patient ana
full hearing, and as a result OF these
interviews the eastern section of the
city which is under the purview OF
this association has. because OF his
efforts, received fairer consideration
on the part of Congress than 1t would
III
this wreath of grateful appreciation
upon his monument, which is due TO
him from this great city and from It's
people, who have been misunderstood
and frequently misrepresented."
Discuss Price of Milk.
Mrs Florence Johnson asked the
association to take action looking to-
ward preventing further increase
In the price of milk. She said she
learned that an effort will be made to
increase the retail price to 81 gal
Ion by Christmas. Farmers are re-
ceiving 33l. cents a gallon for milk,
she said and dealers are selling 1t
for so cents. Mrs. johnson promised
to present her views to the associa-
tion in a letter that will be forward
ed to the food administrator
The association voted to indorSe the
plea of the firemen's association for
an increase in pay. and DR.. EmmQns
said he thought Congress should be
asked to adopt law regulating pro-
motions in the department. He said
fR thought seniority in service should
be an element in making promotions
Should Treat Public Utilities Fairly
Dr. Emmons called attention to the
question of the possible increase in
street car fare, and Charles Shields
said he thought such public utilities
should be given fair treatment.
"All costs of Improvement and main
tainance have been increased" he
stated, land il we want first-claSS
public utilities we should expect to
pay for them"

THEIR FINAL REST TOGETHER
Soldiers Intensely Pathetic Deserip-
tion Of the Burial Of Youthful Scot
fish Officer With His Men.

l stood one night on a certain hill
that commands the firing line in an
almost soundless panorama. Beside
me was an officer of the Second Ca
madam division, who had just come
out. There that night, by its white
trail of iridescent light, we could trace
the course of the firing line for many
miles through France and Flanders.
Just to our left the line of light
jutted far out, like a lone cape into
the sea. "What is that jutting-out
placer" my friend inquired.
THAT" I answered, "is the Ypres
salient, the Bloody Angle Of the Brit
ish line"
To mention the name of Ypres Is
to have ones memory awakened with
q veritable kaleidoscope of pictures.
That trail of light that jutted out into
the night looked like a cape, and an
iron cape it has been through months
and years of war. But the holding of
that cape has been at an awful cost,
and there was not an inch along that
trailing line of light that had not
cost its trailing line of blood.
Just after the first gas attack in
April, 1915, the whole countryside was
In a panic. The roads were filed with
civilians In alarm, fleeing down coun-
try, and with llmbers and marching
troops Fastening up. l was passing
through the town Of Vlamerthigne,
which is situated two miles beyond
Ypres. In a field at the side of the
road 1 saw a funeral party. 1t con-
sisted of several pioneers, serving as
grave diggers, a g~ray-headed Scottish
major, and a %corporal's guard to act
as firing party.
l learned that this inconspicuous
group were burying the last original
officer Of a battalion of the Cameron
H~ighlanders. The dead officer was a
young subaltern, and the gray-haired
old major was his father, who had
come from another regiment to attend
the funeral of his son.
So, over in a great deep trench,
where a number of the rank and file of
the fallen Camerons were already laid,
the body of their dead subaltern was
placed. AS l Ssaw the officer and his
men of the bonnie Highland regiment
thus laid to rest together, l thought
of the requiem of Saul and Jonathan g.;
"They were beautiful in their lives
and in their deaths they were not di-
vided."-Capt. Arthur Hunt Chute, In

Repair Shin MYSTERIOUS.

The manufacture of a large part Of
machinery to replace anything broken
is almost impossible In the limited
space of the battleship's machine
shops. But wondrous feats are per-
formed in the repair ships that ac-
company fleets on stations remote
from dock facilities, states a British
war correspondent.
The repair ship is a huge floating
smithy and machine shop packed with
everything that the wit of man can
concentrate into the space for treat
ing wounded battleships. These ships
employ some of the best artificers
from our naval dockyards and are
scattered in every quarter in which
the British fleet is stationed remote
from dock facilities. The Boche has
nothing like them and it has been
stated that nc inquisitive Boche has
ever been allowed to intrude his nose
aboard n to investigate its mysteries
and take the information to his en-
ployers of how the strange feats per-
formed by the repair ship are effected.
The repair ship is the abode of secrets.

Sailor Invents Fire Escape.

One of the boys aboard our navy's
fleet has invented a fire escape which
is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object
was to provide a collapsible fire es-
cape which could be compactly and
conveniently arranged at the window
of a dwelling. 1t consists of a con
tainer hinged to the Sill in such a
manner that by opening the window
and folding the container on its hinge
the metal ladder may be unfolded
and dropped. When this operation is
gone through. a means is automat-
ically provided whereby the ladder is
held at a distance from the walls OF
the building. The advantage of such
precaution is obvious.
