you yer much for read this letter
epissle. Yours servingly, Hashimura
Togo.
The above was received this morn
ing in the mail of the Lyceum theater
manager from his friend, Hashimura
Togo, who will arrive this afternoon
to remain three days. The obvious
object is to let the people of New
Britain know that he will be with
them, and gives them a little inside
dope on what to expect. To most
people the character Hashimura Togo
means nothing, but to those who have
read Wallace IrwinS inimitable Let
ters Of a Japanese Schoolboy," the
announcement means a world of en-
joyment. During the past two years
the exploits Of Hashimura have been
followed closely in magazines. and he
has become one Of the most interest
ing personages in fiction.
To place him on the screen and give
the enjoyment of his personality to
the entire country is the work of the
Paramount company, with Sessue
HayakaWa, ranked among the most
versatile actors playing the leading
role.
This comical Japanese will be at
the Lyceum today Friday and Satur-
Cay. The Lyceum Weekly and other
pictures will be on the same program.

Pull down window shades at

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Simple desserts, such as are now
made necessary by wartime savings,
are the most wholesome.
A teaspoonful of salt added to the
water when poaching eggs will hold
the whites together.
No better small present can be
made than a glass of homemade jelly
tied with a sprig of holly.
If the glass percolator of your cof-
fee pot breaks, use a glass lemon
squeezer for the time being.
If water stands in the jardiniere
in which a ported plant stays it will
cause the leaves to drop off.
White cabbage crisped and mixed
with French salad dressing is always
wholesome and easy to make.
A good fresh cocoanut is light
brown in color and you can hear the
liquid inside when you shake it.
For plain suet crust use / cup
chopped suet to 2 cups -four and
teaspoon of salt Mix with a knife
and IL cup ice water to make it into
dough and then roll an inch thick.
Steam steadily and it will be light.
If bananas are a trifle green when
they come from market, put them
away in the dark IN the paper bag in
which they came; allow them to re-
main for a few days and they will
ripen evenly and have q delicious
favor.
To mend glass, china, or break
ages of any kind, common alum, melt
ed in an old spoon over the fire, forms
an exceedingly strong cement. Ar
ticles mended with this may be
washed without fear of their coming
apart again.
Cake tins. patty pans, etc, are
easily cleaned by boiling. Put them in
q saucepan with some soap extract
and water, boil them for about an
hour, and they will be found clean
ad new-lo oking. Soap and soda or
borax may be used instead of soap
extract if preferred
To make barley water take three
teaspoonfuls of pearl barley and wash
in several waters until quite clean
Add / - pints of cold water boil
down to one pint, then strain. Barley

Midnight blue net, as made up in
this beautiful style, is an evening gown
that will send milady into raptures.
The lines are long and slim and give,
just the effect that women seek. The
midnight blue with its marvellous
train of cut bugles in the same brill
liant blue-black shade makes for
charm that is not known in other
combinations. For contrast the velvet
bow and shoulder straps of Alice blue

FACTS ABOUT MONTDIDIER,
VACATED SATURDAY BY HUNS

Montdidier, whose history dates
back to the first millennium of the
Christian era, had a population of less
than 5000 at the beginning of the war,
but il was rich in historic associa-
tions. 1t is said TO have derived its
name from the fact that Didier. or
Desiderius, the last of the Lombard
Charlemagne. 1t will be remembered
that Charlemagne, having put aside
his first wife, Desiderius' daughter,
took up the quarrel of Pope Adrian /
with the Lombard monarch, and after
marching an army across the Alps
captured his erstwhile father-in-law :
capital city, Ticinum. and took the
vanquished ruler back to France.
where he died in captivity.
Mondidier is attracJiyely situated on
Don. 1t is the capital of an arron-
dissement in the department of the
Somme, and is sixty-two miles north
of Paris by rail and twenty-three
miles southeast of Amiens. Its chief
industries before the war were tan
neries and the manufacture of zinc
white. When the tides of war finally
recede 1t is probable that the three
buildings in which the citizens OF
Montdidier took .the greatest pride
viii be crumbling ruins. These are
the Church of St Pierre. which was
built before Columbus set sail on his
voyage of discovery, and which con-
tains a tomb and font of the eleventh
century; the Church of st. Sepulchre,
a fifteenth-seventeenth century edificc,
and the Palais de Justice, formerly the
c'ly castle. In the last-namod build
ing visitors before the war were
shown six unusually handsome Brus-
sells tapestries of the seventeenth CEN
tuTy. These were undoubtedly re-
moved before the Germans entered the
city.
Montdidier's most famous son was
Parmentier, the scientist who gave
impetus to the culture of the potato
in France. A statue erected there
commentaries his gift TO the nation.

TO HOLD SERIES OF
MASS MEETINGS

AT a meeting of the Business Mems
Association held last evening in Win
neVa hall, after a session of about
three hours in which various subjects
were discussed, it was decided to hold
a series of weekly mass meetings to
which the people of Winnemucca are
invited, that arrangements be made for
the greatest good of the greatest num-
ber.
Yesterday morning a committee of
the Business Mems Association ap-
peared before the county commission
ers and the chairman, ). Sheehan, pre-
sented the request that action toward
rebuilding the courthouse be deferred.
The members of the committee were
informd by the members of the board
that they did not intend to take any
action further than the letting of a
contract for he making of repairs
necessary to house part of the county
officers who are now without adequate
quarters.
