URGED TO SACRIFICE
FOOD ADMINISTRATION REPRE-
SENTATIVE TALKS TO CROWDED
HOUSE, WORLD AT WAR.

"The best lecture ever given in Lam
caster" was the way in which nine
persons out of ten referred to DR..
Alexander Cairns lecture in behalf
of the United States Food Administra-
ton at the Opera House Wednesday
evening of last week The tenth per-
son was shocked and grieved to have
somebody, even an accredited repre-
sentative Of Mr. Herbert Hoover, come
here and talk as plain as DR.. Cairns
admittedly did in spots. It made the
war too real, too vivid for comfort.
DR.. Cairns spoke to a crowded house,
and every word he uttered was listen
ed to with deepest interest. He told
Of the dire need that confronted the
war-stricken countries Of Americas
Allies, and brought home the small
ness Of the sacrifice America is asked
to make in the voluntary conservation
of food, compared to that Of France,
Belgium, Serbia and ROumania. He
preached the gospel of the clean plate,
explained the need for conserving ev-
cry bit of wheat, fat, meat and sugar
possible. So wildly did DR.. Cairns de-
pict the need for conserving pork, and
the fat of pork, which the base of in
despensible oils used by the boys at
the front, that at least two well known
farmers engaged in fattening some
particularly fine hogs for home con-
sumption, have declared that the meat
would not taste good to them now,
knowing what they do, and have de-
cided to market them.
DR. Cairns, who is Irish, had large
fund of amusing incidents which drove
home his conservation moral. He told
of eating at the same table at a rest
aurant with a toll begrimed railroad
man. The waiter set a plate of white
bread on the table. Waiter, take
away that Kaiser bread" roared the
diner. KAISER bread" said DR.. Cairns,
''was a new thought to me-" "DO you
know what I call white bread?" he
asked, leaning forward impressiyely
toward his audience. 81 call it con-
secrated bread, and I'm not going to
eat any more of it until this war is
over.'
Several patriotic songs were given
by the Campfire girls, under the direc-
ton Of Miss BROKER. The Boy Scouts
acted as ushers. Tho local arrange
ments for the lecture were made by
the local Loyalty Legion,

clTY's GLORY LONG DEPARTED
Ruins Testify to Existence Of Once
Mighty Metropolis in South
eastern Africa.

In a far-off corner of southeastern
Africa are hidden the ruins of n once
mighty city, called in present times
the ~Zimbabwe, or buildings of stones.
The more fancifulsof the scientists de-
clare that the time of Moses may have
seen the building of these crumbling
walls. but the weight of evidence
seems to prove that the city is only
about ten centuries old. Whatever the
true dates of the city's history, certain
~ its ruins today L in appearance
very old, very moss hung and very pic
turesque.
There is nothing sad about the Slip
ping away of these relics of the past,
so gradually they have sunk into the
Soil and broken down with the pres
sure of time and weather. Their day
of glory and prosperity was over some
centuries ago, and they rest dreamily
In the sunshine. Bright flowers deck
the walls as of trying to hold the re-
naming stones together; and tall trees
spread their branches wide to temper
the heat Of the midday sun and shell
ter the stones from the chill of the eve
ming.

May Be New Source of Oil.

A preliminary inquiry into the posi-,
bility Of the commercial utilization of
the seed Of the rubber tree for oil pro-
duction has been undertaken by the
agricultural authorities In the Eeder-
ated Malay states. From time to time
suggestions have been made for tho
utilization for this purpose of the seeds
of the cultivated Para rubber tree, as
large quantities of the seed go to waste
on the rubber plantations of the mid.
die East. Experiments have proved
port, that not only is the oil extracted
according to a British government re,
from the seed suitable for various
purposes, but that the residue can be
used for cattle food or as fertilizer.

WONDER HOW GERMANS
GET WEATHER KNOWLEDGE

London, (by mail.)-How do the Ger
man obtain the accurate knowledge,
which they are known to possess, Of
weather conditions in England, is often
asked here. This knowledge is essential
for them in their air raids, and captured
documents show that their meteorological
reports are fairly complete despite tho
fact that no publication of weather data
or forecasts is permitted in English news
papers.
An English meteorological expert de-
clares that the answer to the question is
not through IN system of spies and land
wireless, but that the data Is derived from
observations taken by submarines.
The important point for the Germans.
he says is to know the weather condi-
lions off the northwest coast Of Ireland
and he thinks that a submarine working
at that place is detailed to send weather
reports to Germany by relays through
the wireless apparatus working around
the British Isles.

G PATRIOTISM.
From the Spokane Spokesman
RavlnW

r 1kSSlcW. .a
In one days news budget Is a re-
port OF an Ohio mob dragging sus-
pected pro-Germans from their
beds, while q Texas mob publicly
whipped a man who was said to
have made unpatriotic utterances.
It is a cheap sort of patriotism
that leads men to such acts. II
their victims are guilty the courts
and the law are always in readiness
to deal with them. If they are inno-
cent. as may well be the case. they
are victims OF a cruel wrong.
Mobs almost invariably are moved
by passion and act on impulse, and
Justice is improbable where these
evils have sway.
The men composing these mobs
could have rendered better service
to their country by laying orderly
complaints before the officers Of
the law. Their violent actions dis
credit popular government. Every
time an American mob shows its
contempt for law 1t helps to per-
petuate the kaiser's autocracy In
Germany.
