Thrift Thouglht.

A large amount Of good food IN
potatoes, including most of the
valuable mineral elements, Is vast
ed by ordinary methods OF peel
ling. Baking IN the jackets also
means a loss lif the jacket Is not
eafen), since much Of the meat Of
the potatoes sticks TO the stiffcncd
skin aud is discarded. Here is a
suggestion made by the United
States Department Of Agriculture
for reducing the discarded portion
Of the potato 20 a minimum
Drop washed potatoes in a vessel
Of rapidly boiling water and allow
them 10 remain ten minutes. Re-
move and strip the thin skin as
when potatoes are peeled after
thorough cooking by boiling. The
potatoes win still be practically
raw and may be handled like raw
peeled potatoes in preparing any
dish as scallopcd, French or Ger
man fried potatoes, potato chips,
etc.
One excellent way 10 cook the
skinned potatoes is TO bake them
The entire potato, including the
thin, goldcn-bro,yn crust may be
eaten.
This recipe for economical peel
ing 81 potatoes was furnished by a
housewife and tested by the Unit
ed States Department Of Agricul-
iure. The department viii be glad
10 have other housewives 10 write
Of thrift practices which they have
found useful IN their homes.

Modern History Becomes
Chief Study in Schools
Pupils Now Concentrating Upon Progress of
War; Ancient Stories of Valor
Are Cast Aside.

books had no stlmulant for imagi-
nation, especially the younger chif-
dren. The readers were filled with
stories of Christopher Columbus and
other characters of the dim past.
Teachers told tales of the North to
the children in the lower grades.
and in the higher grades much of
the same dullness of routine work
was found.
Modern History Comes First.
To-day How the War Came to
America" is in practically every
class room. In the lower grades, in
simple language. 1t is instilled into
the minds of the younger children.
In the high school students Of mod
ern languages are translating 1t from
the French, Spanish and even Ger
man text into English.
There's something else too. The grip
of the war is on the class rooms.
The hatred OF the Germans Is as Bit
ter among the young as among their
parents. And the feeling that Amer
lea will live up to her traditions. and
that the institutions Of democracy
in the United States will overcome the
towering structures of imperialism
across the water Is In the minds of
Washington school boys and girls.

D. c. Dealers DRAFT
COAL POOL scheme
Six-Hour Conference of Executive
Board Evolves Plan.

Following a conference OF more than
six hours the executive committee of
District coal dealers evolved a rough
plan of pooling operations. it was
stated last night by Charles F. Fade
ley, . member of the committee.
Mr.. Fadeley said he expected to re-
examine the plan today and submit 1t
to the dealers at a meeting in the
builders exchange tonight. The deal
ers will lay 1t before Fuel Administra-
tor John l. Weaver and Commission
or Brownlow.
Unihcation of coal delivery was a
chief object sought.
Several dealers have asked that
all complaints referred to the fuel
administration be in turn referred
to . committee of coal dealers, to
be selected by the pool.
Commissioner Brownlow and Ed
ward F. Colladay. who were ap-
pointed at a recent meeting of citi-
zsns to safeguard the consumers

.76,545 ALIENS join
Army OF DEMOCRACY
Significant Figures on Draft Quoted
by Gen. Crowder.

More than two-thIrds OF the aliens
called under the sclcctive draft want
cd TO fight for the United states.
Seventeen per cent OF those called
enlisted despite the fact that their
status as aliens exempted them. These
figures were quoted by Provost Mar
shal General Crowdcr last night.
According to the draft boards, there
was no indication that nationals of
the allies were more willing to fight
for the land of their adoption than
were the nationals of neutral or Teu-
ton countries.
A total of I,25snl aliens were regis
tered. OF these. 457,713 were called;
76,5i5 waived exemption and were ac-
cepted. OF the 81, 16s called and
exempted, 152,7lG or 20 per cent, were
exempted not because they were
aims. but because of dependents. use
full occupations and other causes.
The real significance OF the figures
is" says Gen. Crowder, that n very
considerable number of aliens are not
only in full sympathy with Americas
cause, but are willing to fight for it,"

Washington schools in war time are
essentially different from the schools
Of long ago.
Where posters with the nag and
verses with decorations of the stars
and stripes once held exclusive places
of honor in the school rooms of the
Capital, the more practically patriotic
liberty loan posters. thrift stamp de-
signs and food conservation admoni-
tions are now crowding the space.
Formerly blotters were inscribed
with the Star Spangled Banner. To-
day the blotters are plain, except for
the marking, ''w. S. s." or some pa
triotic slogan.
Essay Topics Change.
In the very rooms where teachers,

EVERY HUMAN

SAYS PASTOR
Rev. James Gordon Draws
Deduction from Haunt /.
ed Houses.

A sermon on haunted houses was
preached before o large congregation
last night by Rev. James J.. Gordon,
pastor Of the First Congregational
Church.
1t was filled with spooks and ro-
nance and fiction and wound up with
a big boost for the Billy Sunday
campaign.

and what was lacking In quantity
was made up by quality. as some Of
the best citizens of the city were
present.
DIR. Gordon made the contemplated
reopening of the historic haunted
gallery" OF Henry VIII at Hampton
Court the basis for his belief that
every house and every human soul
Is haunted to a certain extent, and
that these conditions can be rectifed
only by process Of the conscience
operating as a clearing house.
The rooms in which Shakespeare
was born. John Knox prayed. John
Wesley died. Cariye wrote. the
Marques of Argyle was imprisoned
and Lincoln breathed his last were
all haunted with golden memories
according to the preacher. and he
drew a vivid picture of the haunted
gallery in Hampton Court which, he
said. had been closed TO kingiy tread
for a thousand years. all brought
about because of the superstition
that GATHERINGS ghost stalks con-

INCREASE FORECAST
In CORN RECEIPTS

Chicago, Jan. s.-The receipts of
corn here as well as at the smaller
Western markets will probably show
an increase this week. An increased
supply of corn will mean lower prices
for both cash and futures. 1t will be
a complete reversal OF conditions for
the farmer and the manufacturer to
be in possession of as many cars and
as much corn as wanted.
Reports received from every State
in the corn belt say that corn is now
In better condition since the harvest
ing of this grain was commenced. A
big business continues in cash oats
and this largely on export account.
Export purchases have been large
with the Argentine offers scarce and
clearances moderate. The harvesting
in the south of that country shows a
poor yield as a result of frost.
1t Is said that a larger part OF the
stocks of hog products now held in
the Chicago markets have been sold
for shipment abroad or for use of the
government in the United States.

The limo had just left the anchorage
in Bedford Basin and was coming
through the Narrows. between the city
OF Halifax and the town of Dartmouth
on the other side. when I heard a
crash.
Blast Wrecks ship.
with several other firemen I ran
up on deck. We saw the Mont Blanc
right in front of US with a large hole
cut in her side. Within a minute
smoke began to come from the hole in
the side of the French ship, and the
captain of the limo. who was on the
bridge. gave the order to turn around
and go back to Bedford Basin, but
the current in the Narrows proved too
strong for our ship to turn around
and we just backed away from the
burning Frenchman as fast as We
could
We were about twenty-five or thirty
yards away when the first explosion
occurred. 1t was followed by five
others. I was thrown to the deck.
Several of our crew were killed out
right. including the captain and first
ofhcer. but escaped with only a few
bruises. being in the after part of the
ship and protected by the sail and a
four-foot steel bulkhead. When 1
could see again, fragments from the
French ship were falling all over and
around US. together with tons of
water which the explosion threw up"
