QUITS ART FOR RED CROSS

Many men Of many minds, from
'mlllIonaires to musicians, have left
their own pay rolls or pianos to give
their entire time to the Red Cross.
Now comes a woman who has
closed up her studio to take an execu-
tive desk In the Red Cross. Early and
late Miss Malvina Hoffman, sculptor,
is to be found at the New York County
chapter, where she has charge of the
bureau Of information and research
and Of the foreign department.
For three years Miss Hoffman
studied with Rodln In Paris. When
the war broke out she organized, with
several other pupils of Rodln, the
French Artists Relief fund, of which
Rodin himself until his recent death
was honorary president.
While one hand now keeps In
touch for the Red Cross every day,
with main headquarters in Washing
ton, the bureau Of public information,
the food commission, public charities
and some dozen other organizations.

BLOCKED U-BOAT BASES

Vice Admiral Sir Roger John
Brownlow Keyes is the man who found
lasting fame by raiding Zeebrugge
and 0stend and blocking the U-boat
bases.
BE Is young as vice admlrals go,
only forty-five, and he has the vlgor
and air of youth. Years ago when
the Boxer rebellion in China was at
its height and 1t was as much as a
white mans life was worth to show
his face inland he took couple Of de-
stroyers up the Yang-Tsel-Hei and
boarded and captured four Chinese
torpedo boats. Then he landed with
about a dozen men, seized Chinese
fort which threatened trouble and
blew the place up ana withdrew his
little party without single casualty.
In the years before the present
war he specialized as a submarine and
torpedo officer, and for his daring and
enterprise was chosen to command the
British submarines. After several

Before the United States entered
the war Senator Hitchcock was not

the declaration Of war, however, he

Tall, erect and with iron-gray

Liberty Cycles Wheels.

One Of the outstanding features of
the Liberty motorcycle, the standard
lied machine developed by the quar-
termaster corps for army service in
France, is the interchangeability Of Its
wheels, says the Popular Mechanics
Magazine In an Illustrated article. A
spare wheel, to be carried on the side
car, will take the place of any one Of
the three wheels In case of an emer-
gency. Furthermore, such a change
can be made in less than a minute. On
either side are transverse tongues
which fit into grooves in the driving
sprocket and brake-drum mechanisms
carried on opposite prongs Of the rear
fork. In mounting the wheel 1t Is only
necessary to slide 1t into place and
lock 1t with a Knockout axle, which
consists simply Of a central bolt and
nut.

Here gather daily all of the people
who want to see Secretary Baker and
who have not been accorded inter-

are given interviews In his private
office are likely to have something to
say which the secretary wants to

That which was once sacred
tradition and an unwritten law In
the United States senate Is now
only memory. The tradition was
that a new senator should not take
part In the debates until he had sat
at the feet of the seniors for at least
one session. The tradition was shat
tered when IL new senator's entered
the senate 25 years ago, and 1t has
been put upon the scrap heap by the
progressive movement which has In
troduced into the senate many men
with message and ideas on all sub
Jects of public interest. And so the
tradition is but memory.
Old habitues of the senate realized
this fact when, within two or three
weeks after taking the oath of office,
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin took an
active part In the discussion Of the
rivers and harbors bill, and even be-
fore that he had shown determlna-
ton to do his duty by objecting to va
riOus pet measures of senators, which
have usually passed without opposition
on account Of senatorial courtesy but
which have a somewhat dubious repu-
tation in the halls of legislation. What
is an interesting fact, In connection
with Lenroot's activity, is that he
was listened to by other senators and
attention given to what he had to
say.

1t is a characteristic of nearly every
speaker OF the house Of representa-
tives that he desires to be absolutely
right in his rulings, although he natu-
rally desires to be on the side OF
his own party. But perhaps none Of
the predecessors Of Speaker Clark was
quite so anxious to be impartial
and Just as he Is. Recently some
point was being argued in the house
which the speaker had decided, and as
the debate went along Congressman
Walsh of Massachusetts, asked II the
speaker had not ruled on this ques-
ton.
"Yes," replied Champ: but the
chair is not so everlastingly stuck on
his own ruling that he will not listen
to somebody else"

BY Food Administration.

Potatoes may be used as wheat

It is designed to relieve to an extent
any hardship which may have been
caused by the straight rule on the

Accordingly, the general rule will
be that four pounds OF potatoes Will
take the same rank as one pound OF

is urged that no undue advantage be
taken OF it. Patriotic grocers, jobberf
and consumers will remebre that Il
