Perique-and Other Matters

To the Editor Of the Epenin1 Public Ledger:
Sir--In your daily quis the other day you
gave an explanation Of "Perique" tobacco
that was not entirely accurate. Perique is
strong Louisiana tobacco which is made
stronger and blacker by curing It over trays
of Jamaica rum, molasses and other ingredi.
ents which vary according to the whim or
the curer. ..''. ~ ~
1t is not Smoked in paper rolls called
carottes," but:
After curing as stated above it Is made
up into a cigar-shaped bunch approximately
two and half inches diameter in the cen.
ter. tapering toward both ends and from,
say seven inches to twelve inches long.
depending the size of the leaves from
which it is made. This bunch is covered
with a layer of canvas and then SERVED
with tarred marlin" > g..
This method of preparing tobacco for
smoking originated in the British navy about
the time of Drake and is still practiced by
British navy men and by sailors Of sailing
ships in the British merchant marine.

You Know" and find that average about

SO far as being able to print in English
the pronunciation of Chateau Thierry, 1t
can't be done. There are number OF
French words that cannot be either pro.
nounced or spelled by the average American.
For instance. how would you pronounce "eu."
or, Rather, no" WOulu you bpcH Iic piohuh-
citation of "eu' so that an American who
had never heard the word could pronounce
it so that a Frenchman could understand
what he was driving at? 1t can't be done
There Is not one American in thousand
who even after years In France, can
pronounce this most difficult sound for Anglo
Saxon lips. b.
But to get back to Perique. I have sailed
with Frenchmen who called a periquo
of tobacco la carotte. and while I do not
know, it may be possible that the Creoles
called them carottes. This does not however.

name for these rolls. .r ...

this moment seems menaced In Russia al
most as clearly as it is menaced on the

Some recognition of this danger by the
Germans themselves is indicated in the
unparalleled affront which the Bosheviki
Government has just offered to the Allied
ambassadors, who have been virtually
pushed out of Russia without ceremony.
Patience, adroitness and a calm temper
are needed to deal properly with this

threats and open manifestations of re-
sentiment by the Allies.
The whole trend of opinion in Russia
seems to be in the direction of the Allied
cause and away from Lenine, Trotsky

Is Russia at large, which is now in a

A Suggestion We Can Recommend

To the Editor Of the Epening Public Ledger:
Sr-I hand you herewith my check as
treasurer of the Soldiers Leisure Hour
Fund, in the sum of s24, covering six months
subscription to eight copies of the EVENING
PupIIc LEDGER. four copies each to be sent
to the following:
Captain C. P. Futcher. chaplain of 109th
Infantry, American Expeditonary Force.
and Lieutenant Robert j. McFetridge,
chaplain of 1O8th Field Artillery. American
Expeditionary Force.
The check represents part Of the balance
left in the treasury of the Soldiers Leisure-
Hour Fund which was collected last sum-
mer through the generosity Of many citizens
and largely through the efforts of the soldiers
themselves. am convinced that this is the
best possible use to which the money can be
put and l only regret that the sum is not
a hundred times larger.

you care to publish, may influence other per-

SUMMER DAY CAMP FOR
DELICATE CHILDREN
Federation Of Mothers' Clubs Gives
PInn It's Financial support md
IndOraemcnt.

By a unanimous vote OF the Mothers
Clubs in executive session on yesterday
IL was decided TO support with their
full financial strength the plan for the
establishment Of summer day camp
for delicate children within striking
distance of tho city. Announcement OF
the action taken was made by Mrs
J. b. Spicrs. president OF the Fedora
ton OF Mothers clubs to Mrs. L.. c.
Flanagan. executive secretary OF the
Richmond Antitubcrculosis Associa-
ton. last night.
The work OF the Richmond Antitu-
bcrcuiosis Association has emphasized
the great need FOR such a camp. which
need has long been felt by practically
all established organizations working
for child welfare in the city. Miss Nan
mic Minor, head OF the visiting nurses
and Mrs. Flanagan appeared before
the directors of the Mothers Clubs and
explained tho work which is planned
1t was shown that the children taken
care OF in the opcn-air schools had lost
ground after a summer spent in the
heat and dust OF tho city, and Il Is
thought that by a continuation OF the
open-a!r treatment many children will
be given better chance for health
and strength and a long life.
The location OF the camp has not
been definitely decided on. but trans
portation will be provided for the chill
dren who arc taken in and the great
est care exercised to see that most
needing attention will be benefited.
1t is planned TO provide cots for rest
periods. two good meals a day and the
sort or amusement suited to frail chill
drcn who must necessarily have tho
most careful attention. all OF which
VIII be under the supervision OF a
trained nurse and two helpers.
Mrs. William Gcmmcll, as chairman
or the committee from the Mothers
Clubs. Will work in cooperation with
