Now It's Rottom!ess Pie.

When is pie not a pie? is a ques-
ton which will tax the wits of some
wartime Solomon to solve in squarely
facing the issue of "ibottOmless pies"
as a measure of war saving of food
stuffs in the latest Hooverized innova-
ton of baking for the nation. The
movement to remove the bottom crust
from pies is being taken hold of by
housewives and bakers generally, and
is gaining wide support. New York is
a pie-eating city. 1t is estimated that
an entire pie is eaten between Is per-
sons daily, or total consumption of
100000 pies each day in the metropoli-
tan district. In one year the collective
stomachs of New York's pie-eaters alb.
sorb 182,000000 of the dainties. Some
one with penchant for large figures
has gone SO far even to state that the
bottom crust Of those pieces, if rolled
out with large rolling pin across a
40-acre lot, would in week cover the
surface of the field and lap over the
fence posts. On the basis Of 100000
pies eaten by the entire nation each
day, at the end of the year the bottom
crust of the pies would form q strip
of crust nine yards wide and long
enough to encircle the globe at the

written praising the heroism displayed
by the women of ReimS
1.-THE little milk girls" he writes,
will never be forgotten at Reims.
Milk was necessity for the children,
the aged and the sick. Thanks to the
little milk girls they never went With
out. The tinkling of their little bells
announced their arrival and for A
months they traversed all the streets
of the city. Many time they were
taken by surprise by storm of shells.
Three of them had to be carried away
on stretchers, yet the others continued
on their route so that the children and
sick should have their milk all the
same. On February % we heard the
tinkling of their bells for the last time.
The little milk girls were sent out of
the city. They had filed their mis-
sion to the very end, for after that
there were no longer in Reims either
children, aged or sick. All had left"

EARN and GIVE IS

The plan adopted by Miss Gladys

ton agent for Shelby county and now
principal Of the Arlington high school,
known as THE EarA and Give Cam
paIgn," has attracted considerable at
%tention In county school Circles where
such campaigns are being conducted as
"a part OF the united war service work.
The plan follows:
The principal first named two re-
cruihng officers, one representing the
army and another the navy. Each
pupil was given the privilege OF enlist
Ing In either the army or tho navy
upon the payment of an enlistment
fee OF 20 cents, Each additional Is
cents paid in entities the pupil to a
promotion In rank until he reaches that
OF general or admiral. When a pupil
reaches these ranks the other pupils
salute them,
AS children have the habit of over
piedging, the money must be earned
before the commissions are given,
They earn the money in various ways,
picking cotton, running errands, clerk
ing In stores on Saturdays, chopping
wood, washing ! cars, etc. The side
making the best record is to be en-
teTtained by others.
As a result OF this novel plan every
child In the school has enlisted In some
branch of the service, and severa
already have received commissions.
