WHAT is WAR PIE?

A war pie is pie made with one
crust-an upper or lower crust. But
a war pie goes one step further than
dispensing with one crust. A war pie
must give up its share of wheat to
help the Food Administration send
more wheat abroad.
After you have learned to make this
potato pie crust, you will hold on to
the recipe. even in peace times. For
the pie crust is both nutritious and de-
icious. The potato adds valuable min
eral salts. And the use of the vege.
table fat supplies its share Of body
energy"
1t is especially good for meat pies
and turnovers and tarts. As crust
made with potato shrinks in the bak-
ing, be sure to allow for the shrink
age by cutting little larger than
when white flour alone is used.
Potato Pie Crust cup cold mash
ed potato, | cup white flour, i tea
spoon baking powder, u teaspoon salt
a cup Cottolene, Ice Water.
Cut mashed potato into the flour
into which the salt and baking pow
der have been sifted. Then cut in the
chilled Cottolene. After this is thor
oughly blended, add little ice water
to make stiff batter. Roll on slightly
floured board Fold over and chill
Then roll again and fit to creased pie
pan. This will make two pies with
lower crust only.

LOCALIZED VICE IN NEW
MEXICO ENDS AFTER APR.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, April Legal
ized vice in New Mexico will be q
thing of the past in New Mexico after
April Is, in accordance with a ruling
adopted by the state board of health.
This action was taken as a war meas
ure, but will continue in force after
the war. 1t is to be "a permanent state
policy, and is similar TO that recently
adopted in Texas. The present state
law permits prostitution if not carried
on within certain defined limits, but
the health boards ruling behind which
there is full power, il is stated, makes
it entirely illegal.
1t was stated by DIR. James A. Mas
sic, member Of the board, force such
ruling, irrespective of existing stat
utes. The move was taken that the
board has full power to enjoin any
house of vice and is taken by the
board as health measure. An opin-
ion Of the attorney general that such
action is entirely legal has been used
as the authority for proceeding.

SCHOOL BOARD STRENGTHENS
CONTRACTS OF TEACHERS

At the regular meeting of the Tu-
cumcari School Board held Monday,
April /, il was unanimously moved by
the Board that contracts of teachers
should be strengthened. The follow
ing plan was adopted: Salaries will
be paid beginning with the 1888
school year in twelve equal payments.
In case Of resignation, the teacher is
paid to date of same. Where contract
is not resigned for following year, the
teacher may be paid in full at the end
resigned and later resignation take
place during vacation, at least one
twelfth of the years salary will be
deducted on final settlement. The
above plan is made not only to strength
en- the contracts of the teachers be-
cause of the usual designations taking
place during the year, but it is also
planned to aid them and the School
Treasury. Heretofore, teachers have
been forced to discount their checks
because of the lack of funds in the
Treasury. 1t is thought this will over.
come this injustice and will serve the
teachers as an income during the en-.
tire twelve months, protect the pa.
irons, and equaize the payment OF
funds from the Treasury.
A petition was brought before the
Board petitioning for the use of the
High School gymnasium for public
dances. Since there was much publ,
opinion against this move and many
other places could be obtained for this
pastime, the Board opposed the pc.
tition.
The School Board will meet agar
Monday, April 8, the principal bust
ness will be the election of teachers
The Board is using every effort to Civ,
Tucumcari the best school system il
the Southwest, and this can be ac
complished only with the interest OF
the patrons and their desires canno
be ascertained By the Board unless
submitted.

GERMANS ADMIT THE
collapse Of BIG OF.
FENS|VE..B|G LOSSES

Amsterdam, April 3.--German news
papers received here assert that the
marked decrease in the fighting IN
France was made necessary by the bad
weather, but that soon will begin
again.
The Cologne Gazette says it learns
from Berlin that the pause was neces-
sity. 1t asserts that stormy weather
has greatly hampered the transport
service Of the Germans and cites as
a similar case the halt IN the Italian
campaign when the Tagliament9 river
was reached by the Tedtonic allies.
The Cologne People Gazette de-
clares the pause in the battl4 was due
solely to orders of the German army
command and not to any success by the
entente allies. The correspondent adds
that the roads must be repaired and
munitions and Jic.uals sent up to The
fighting forces and continue:
THE bad weather perhaps may ham
per our action, but the enemy SOON
will realize that we intend TO 90 IN
with it,"
A semi official dispatch from Berlin
says the Compeigne station and the
railway from Clermont to Amiens are
under the German artillery fire, while
Compcigne and Scissors have been
bombarded by the German Airmen.
With the British Army in France
April 3.-An interesting document re-
lating to the German casualties has
been found on a German officer of the
l40th infantry regiment of the Fourth
division. 1t records that on the second
day of the offensive out of four COM
panies in the battalion to which the
officer belonged there were then in
line only three officers. 10 non-com-
missioned officers and "a men.
One of the most striking tributes to
the bravery of the British was the COM
pliment rendered by the enemy to the
famous Fifty-frst division, which was
holding section of the line in the
vicinity of Demicourt, near the Pa
paume- Cambrai road. on the first day
of the battle, when the Germans surg
ed forward. The enemy attacked in
southeasterly direction under cover
| of the mists and outflanked the Fifty
first in its initial rush.
The tremendous struggle continued
atDoignies. which the Germans finally
succeeded in taking the first day. 1t
was here that British officer fired
| 1000 rounds from a machine gun be-
fore his legs were shot off by big
shell. The British Immediately counter
attacked with infantry and tanks and
stormed their way through the she'll
scattered hamlet, which they held
mainly with machine guns until night,
when the enemy again surged forward
and recaptured Doignies.
The Fifty-first was forced to fall
back because of the situation on its
flanks. 1t retired slowly, fighting
every inch of the way. The Germans
now introduced new scheme for al
advancing their troops. They blasted
shell craters along the front of the
fifty-first and into these holes they
dribbed their infantry.
