FAT FOR FRYING.

because frying is such a quick method
of cooking that we can reckon 1t valuable
coal as we'll as tine-saver.
But you must drain the food cooked IN il
well before laying it on paper to remove
grease, as every drop OF the fat IS precious,
Or, as paper Is scarce, you really can, If
you like, drain the food we'll over the pan,

Now IS n queer time, with summer
coming on. TO knit socks, you say Not at
all Now is Just the mex OF time, for those
who can knit socks and for those who
have TO learn TO knit them. II takes about
the fourth pair of socks before one has
really learned how, and before one IS
accomplished at knitting and able to
show others how. That is one reason
why we must do it now The other Is
that 50 many socks are needed that even
if we begin TO knit now and keep on and
on, there wont bc enough tll through
the summer, no matter how hot II Il.
We will continue 10 knit Woolen socks for

And why the woolen socks Nhy not
buy them machlne-knit2 Because the
soft yarn ones. knitted by hand. are
much softer for the .tct. And why 50
many? Because our army Is so large
and constantly increasing in numbers.
and because the socks do not last long
in the trenches, and frequent changes are
necessary.

SWISS MAY ENTER WAR
Little Gentry l. Now Nearer Being
Drawn Into Its Vortex Than Ever
Before.

Berne, July 10.-Switzerland today
is nearer being drawn into the vortex
of war than at any time since 1914.
With both the Germany army and
the American army threatening to
take the offensive in Alsace. the little
republic surrounded by belligercnt ma
items is in peril of invasion by the
Huns, no matter which Of the bcllig-
erents starts drive.
Invasion by d single regiment of
German soldiers will mean war.
Aside from the diplomatic discus
sicrs with Berlin ever the coal supply
and other problems which have been
threatening 10 break, the military sit.
uaticn holds menace for the Swiss be"
cause of the country's peculiar situa.
ton between The warning nations.
This menace has existed since the
French first began their drive into AL
SAGE in 1914, but it has never been so
perilcus as now. Here is the reason:
Switzerland lies south Of the Rhine
for the greater portion OF the 6oun-
dary. There is ore point, however
between Basel end Lorrach, where
Swiss soil iuts 9cross the river into
Germany. On this small strip Of neH-
trail territory may depend the fate OF
Switzerland in the -.cr.
If the American army begins an
offensive in Alsace, as recent develop
ments seem to promise, Won Hlnden-
burg will be forced to use everJ
means at his command to prevent the
; southernmost flank Of his line in Al.
SAGE from being turned and rolled
! back along the Rhine.
| To do so he would be forced to make
! stand along the Rhine as far soutf
as the Swiss border. An attack BY
the Allies at this point. if delivered
IN sufficient force, would break th'
German line and threaten it with en-
velopment-unless it were EXTENDED
alonr the Rhine through Swiss terri
tory.
Once Swiss territory vas violated
Germany, 10 doubt, would occupy tn
whole of the northern part Of tn
country and extend the battle lin
across Switzerland to The Italia
border. linking it up with the Austro
Italian front.

crashed headon together just around
the sharp curve at Dutchnan's Bend,
about five miles from h.re.
Both engines reared and fell on
either side of the track, while the
impact drove the express car of the
north bound trair through the fimsy
wooden coaches beaded with human
freight, telescop,ig the smoking cars
in front and piling high in air the two
cars behind it. both packed to the
aisles with negroes en- route to the
powder plant, and some 80 other
regular passengers.
The train crews worked hard to
raise the heavy express coach, beneath
which was pinioned sr crushed most
of the white victims. In one Of the
seats sat one Of the passengers, still
conscious but with three of the dead
crushed against him. The side of the
car was chopped away ard the man
realeased, apparently in a dying con-
dition
From beneath the express car, some
thirty men were later removed, only
thelast Of their number being alive.
Just where lies the blame it is i'm
possible now to say. That the en-
gineer of No. 4 knew the Memphis
train to be little late leads to the
conjecture that ne was attempting to
each the switch at Harding Station, a
shcrt distance beyond the scene of the
wreck, before the inbound train ar
rived at that point.

turned home on special recruiting
mission to increase tie ranks of the
Red Triangle workers. after six
months service in the war zone with

OF Americans at Cantigny and Cha
teau Thierry, where the Germans were
driven from important positions in

ing conducted in Virginia for war
work secretaries, and will cooperate
with the general state committee and
the local committees in every city
