DAILY HOOVER HINT

Every flag that flies opposite the
enemy's is by proxy the American flag,
and the armies fighting in our defense
under these flags can not be maintain
ed through the coming winter unless
there is food enough for them and for
their women and children at home
There can be food enough only if
America provides it. And America
can provide it only by the personal
service and patriotic cooperation of
every person.
That the needs of the army and the
Allied armies may be supplied, certain
substitutiOns must be made in the
average Americans diet. The soldiers
need wheat, butter, lard, sugar, bacon,
beef. mutton, and pork. The folks at
home can use corn, oats, barley. rye,
molasses, honey, syrups. chicken,
eggs, cottage cheese, fish, nuts, peas
and beans. For cooking purposes cot
tOhoccu VII, peanut OlI, COTu Oll anu
drippings may be successfully used.
One Of the most successful breads
made from wheat substitutes is oat-
meal bread. 1t is delicious-try it!
Oatmeal bread
One cup milk or water.
One teaspoon salt
Two and half cups wheat -four.
One-third yeast cake.
One cup rolled oats.
Scald the liquor, add salt and )ur
over the oats, cool half .,n hour, add
the yeast mixed with one-fourth GU }
lukewarm water, and the flour. Kncad
and let rise until double the size. Bake
in a moderate oven for fifty minutes
This recipe makes one loaf weighing
one and one-fourth pounds.

this sort of murder has been going on
While we were there in London the build
ing of John Bull, that is one of the Eng
fish publications, similar to the Iconoclast
or some periodical of that kind, that
building was hit. All over London you
will see signs, "Air Raid Shelter" and
hand pointing, and Twenty Persons
meaning twenty persons can be accom-
modated there, zone Hundred Persons"
meaning one hundred persons can be &C
commodated there, or whatever the case
may be. These signs greet you in the
daytime almost at every corner and in
the middle of the block and at night they
are Illuminated just little. AS the air
raids are in progress the people crowd
into these air shelters.
When we were there, the John Bull
building was hit and 200 people who were
down in the shelter below were killed. l
was very deeply touched to know of the
death of one person, an old lady who
wrote the song, Keep the Home Fires
Burning"
What has been the result of all of these
air raids in London2 1t has resulted in
the people gritting their teeth all the
harder and resolving that they will stay
! in this to the very finish.
1t is funny how the French treat it.
Again they scheduled an air raid for me
in Paris when arrived there. The French
people are much more excitable by nature
and at the same time they have not had
as many air raids in Paris, strange as it
may seem, although it is a good deal
easier to reach than Lon Ion. I don't
think they have had over half dozen
since the beginning of the war. This was
the first air raid they had had in some
thing like six months
This time l was in a theater in Paris
and we were all sitting there enjoying the
play very much when all at once up one
of the aisles ran young fellow in very
vivid suit of clothes and got up on the
stage and said 'The alert" which meant
the warning. Everybody got up i'm
mediately and went out upon the streets.
That is not because they are any more
timorous by nature than the Englishman
because as soon as they got out there
they went out in the middle of the street
and stood looking up into the sky to see
what was happening; but the tempera-
ment of the Frenchman would not allow
him to sit still and 60 on with the per-
Torrance The Englishman would scorn
to leave his seat. The Frenchman would
scorn himself if he lost anything that he
might have seen. He had to get out and
see the show, which is a dangerous per-
Torrance England has learned that the
only safe thing to do is to take to the
shelters and the easements because the
bombs falling down from above will de-
Stroy the upper floors of big building,
but frequently leave the lower floor and
the basement undisturbed
The effect of these air raids is most
tremendous. You can hardly imagine the
effect of bomb dropping in city street.

There are scores of people who drag
out miserable existence without realiz-
ing the cause of their suffering. Day

dizziness, weakness, languor and depres-

that air raid has been responsible for the
great speed that America is now putting
forth upon her preparations. (Applause.)
Our secretary of war, who was con-
fessed pacifist when he took the Job, l
felt was far from being pacifist that
night when he stood in the Place De LIE
Concorde when this bomb fel. / was
over across the street from my hotel and
was returning when the bomb struck and
never have had such sensation in my
life because il was only half mile
away. The sound seemed to come in
waves. 1t seemed as though it roared
out for five minutes, but suppose it was
not over five seconds, and came with a
great vivid glow of light that lighted
Paris from one end to the other. That
bomb fell directly across the square from
the hotel where Secretary Baker was
staying. If he saw that bomb, believe
he discovered then and there that there
was war in Europe. (Applause)
1t fell to my good fortune to be in Paris
the morning the 75-mle gun opened its
performance. The first shot from the
gun, the first shell fell at seven o'clock
exactly. The German is exceedingly
methodcal and he opens his performance
on time. He would scorn to have it come
even at three minutes before the hour or
three minutes after the hour. and so at
seven o'clock exactly this shell fell and
thought it had fallen right in the next
room to me. 1t was tremendous shock.
and all day long that gun kept up the
performance, the first day every twenty
minutes, and the next day every fifteen
minutes. All day long those shells fell in
Paris on their errand of murder. 1t was
beautiful day, cloudless, and everybody
was wondering what was happening be-
cause of course no one in Paris imagined
that they were being bombarded by gun.
The thought in the minds of everyone
was that Germany had devised some new
and wonderful type of airplane which
would soar to unknown heights in the
sky.
1t was wonderful sight that day as
the Parisians crowded into the streets
and scanned the sky in every direction
for the enemy airplane and soon the
French planes began to go up in great
flocks and they circled higher and higher
until they looked in the sky to be nothing
but small beetles, so high that you could
hardly see them. And all that day they
circled up in the sky looking for the
night the only subject of conversation in
the clubs, in the hotels and everywhere
was what new form of warfare has the
German devised? Late that night Min
lister Clemenceau picked up section of
one of the shells and determined that it
was fired from rifled barrel and gave
out that information to the press, that in
his opinion we were being bombarded by
a long range gun. That seemed so in
credible that at first it was laughed at
but after the second day this report was
verified.
After the third day the Parlsians, to all
outward appearances, returned to their
ordinary mode of living. Almost every
shell took its toll of life, and again that
was civilian murder gun because it was
aimed at no fortress or body of military
