PHANTOM MlNcE PIE.

As a measure of economy, house

pie is what it is because it is mince
pie. Constructed according to the
ancient New England formula it is a
gustatory poem and an epicurean de-
light. 1t is robust, vet dainty, a sub
stantial food and at the same time a
delicious dessert, in which respect it
stands unique among American
table foods. No substitute, however

AIRPLANE HELPED IN ROUNDUP.

For the first time in Texas an air
plane was used tc round up herd
Of horses the other afternoon, accord
ing to the Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram. The herd had gathered at the
end Of a field near Hicks, and il
meant much loss Of time for the
farmer to 60 for them and drive
them back. So an accommodating
aviator and his observer undertook
the task. The plane was flown only
40 feet above the animals heads,
frightening them and making them
dash rapidly toward the other end Of
the field, just where the farmer
wanted them.

HID UNDER FERTILIZER BAGS
Victim Of Moews Raider Returns -
United States With Thrilling Story
Of His Escape.

Already the stories Of heroic es-
capcs from tne Hun priSon camps
are beginning to drift bark TO the
United States. Willott Charles Smith
OF Norwalk, Conn.,, recently landed
from the Swedish steamer Bergen
sfiord in New York with the story Of
his nerve-racking evasion Of his Ger
man captors.
When the British steamship Es-
/ meralda sailed from Baltimore early
in this year Smith shipped as a sea-
man. Returning from Liverpool the
ship was halted by the Hun raider
the Moewe, sunk and its crew taken
as prisoners to Germany. In the
prison Of Lubbock Smith wormed his
way through the Give wire" fence,
but was captured Immediately there
after and cast into a dungeon for II
days, where only black bread and
water were given him.
When he was brought forth he
feigned partial blindness and was
put to carrying fertilizer aboard
vessel bound for Sweden. He felt
his way along the gangplank to and
fro by guide ropes. Watching his
opportunity, when in the hold, he
fell artfully beneath his sack Of fer
tilizer and burrowed swiftly into the
odious bags. He was not missed un-
til after the ship had sailed, and sue
ceeded in reaching Stockholm unde-
tected. For six days without food or
water he remained in the sitting i'll
smelling hole, at last reaching land
by diving overheard and swimming
ashore in the night. Soon after he
worked his way to Christiania, where
he found a ship headed for the Unit
ed States.

ENGLAND NEEDS MORE TIMBER
Larger Consumption Must Follow -
Result Of Postponcmcnt Of Work
on Account Of War.

Reports reaching the offices Of the
National Lumber Manufacturing as
eociation in Chicago. indicate there
win soon be an increase in the use Of
wood in England. When a timber
controller was appointed last Janu-
AIRY rs a war measure. consumption
Of wood was restricted in nearly
every direction until an irrcducible
minimum seems TO have been
reached.
During the last two years England
has been living very largely on its
fixed capital so far az wood is con-
ccrned, and little has been done to
make repairs or erect new buildings.
Railroad companies put of neces-
sary work in the hope Of better con-
ditions, but this cannot be longer
postponed.
Construction Of workmen's cot
tages must also 60 ahead since many
munition and other workers are
homeless, while the great increase in
shipbuilding and ship repairing is
bringing an inevitable demand for
more ship timber. At the same time
requirements Of the British army for
packing boxes and eases. furniture.
light railroads, aerodromes and
other buildings, make a constant de-
mand for lumber.
The conclusion Of the English
timber firms is, therefore, that the
time has arrived when a larger tim
Der consumption must take place,
and the government will act wisely
If it allows a larger importation Of
foreign stocks.

Robert Pennington, a local attorney,
told Of the tremendous cost Of recon-

tures Of wartime Europe from the

near Chateau-Thierry. where. he said,

and Pitt put up a wonderful game
But they were defeated by team
which might be said TO be typical Of an
all-American selection.
Football stsrsof the north and south,
east and west. made up the eleven OF
the Cleveland Naval Reserves. Pitt was
unable to stand against them. and a
four years record Of wins was broken.
The game brought to light one OF
the greatest backs OF all time.
Duke DuCOte Of Alabama Poly Tech,
a practically unknown player outside
OF his own section, was the iron man
OF the Cleveland eleven.
Time and again. he smashed with ter
i.flc force against the supposedly i'm
pregnable defense Of Pitt. SO great was
the force Of his drives that invariably
the first tscklers were shaken of and
The secondary defense men were COM
PEELED to bring him down.
These drives finally took the life out
Of the pitt men, and the team slowed
up appreciably as the game went on.
To DuCote should go the credit OF
breaking down the wonderful defense
OF Pitt, and making possible the trl-
umph Of the Naval Reserves.

The defeat OF the University Of Pitts
burgh tacklers by the Cleveland Naval
Reserves would seem to settle an in
teresting question.
Season after season, all-Americsn
teams have been selected by various
football authorities.
Il has been questioned by many as 10
whether one OF these all-star teams
could defeat a top-notch college eleven
built up in team work by several years
Of play together.
The problem was put TO test last
Saturday.
Pitts record was secure as the col
lege champions Of the country. and ITS
team was one Of the greatest that ever
played on a gridlron.
They had played rings around the
best college teams. and IL was only
short time ago that they sent the much
yaunted Georgia Tech Golden lorna
does down TO defeat.
Their team was one that had been
built up during past seasons, and most
OF It's men were holdoyers from last
year.
Their stars were in physical shape,
