CHIEF COOK RIIS,
3-DAY VETERAN,
TRANSFORMS MESS

CAMP HUMPHREYS, Va, July 23.-
From railroading to kitchen was the
transition of a forty-year-old patriot
who enlisted with a strictly combat
ant company of engineers-Mess Ser
geant Olaf Riis, a nephew of the late
Jacob A. Riis. of New York, and a
member of Company a, Fourth Regi-
ment, a Pennsylvania command. at
this camp.
Jacob Riis was a close friend of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, and one
Of New York's most distinguished
citizens. He won fame with the pen.
His nephew is winning laurels at this
camp with the skillet. He began
winning them that way. but now he is
bossing others less skilled in culinary
arts. Putting new messes "on their
feet" is Sergeant Riis' job, when he
is not conducting a special schoo!
for cooks.
When this camp was first opened
there was shortage of good cooks.
Riis was a veteran OF three days ex-
perience, SO Captain Lamb. regimental
adjutant, called him to his office and
said, "Riis, I am giving you twelve
men: want you to make cooks out of
them You've got two weeks to do
It"
Riis started to ask questions and
explain that his cooking experience
was of the briefest and that he didn't
enlist for that sort of work anyway,
but the captain shut him off with:
Il don't know anything about that.
You've been recommended for the
job, so get busy"
Riis got busy, land to such good
purpose that he not only made cooks
OF his pupils, but he made them such
good cooks that every one OF them
has since been made a mess sergeant,
with corresponding increase in pay.
The kitchens run by Sergeant Riis
and his dozen graduate cooks in the
Fourth regiment are models OF clean
illness and good cooking. All the Of
ficers of Riis' command take their
meals with the regular company
mess. After sampling one or two
meals provided by the camps cham
pion cook, they voted as a unit to
abandon the Officers mess"
The regular soldier learns by ex-
perience that the principal man in
the soldiers life under normal con-
ditions is the cook. Let the cook be
poor and his lamentations wiz exceed
those of the prophets Of old. The
morale of that company will go up
Salt River.
So, if your boy doesn't get enough
to eat the rations have nothing to do
with It. They are the best any army
ever had Blame the cook

NOMINATION FOR
n. Y. GOVERNORSH|P
DECLINED BY I. R.

OYSTER BAY. July 2.-Colonel Roose-
welt is too deeply interested in the war
to be a candidate for governor Of New
York In a message to Attorney Gen
eral Lewis. replying to Lewis offer to
withdraw from the race in the nomina-
ton If the Colonel would run. this was
set forth.
colonel RoOssvelt:s telegram. in part,
follows:
Dear Mr.. Lewis: am very genu-
inely touched by the spirit OF your re-
quest. and need hardly say how much
1 appreciate the honor you do me But
cannot be a candidate for, nor accept
the nomination for governor Of New
York
''The position OF governor in any
State. and especially in this great and
populous State, is one of the very
highest consequence. and there is no
man in the United States who ought
not to feel hOnored to have the chance
of filling it But the duties of the
place are not only of the highest i'm
portance, but are also very exacting
and onerus and demand all of any
mans time and energy and whoever
occupies the place should devote him
self wholeheartedly to the work, and
therefore, his heart and soul and
brain should be wholeheartedly in the
work. This was true of me twenty
years ago. when 1 became governor
of New York. 1t is not and cannot
be true of me now.
For the last four years my whole
being has been absorbed in the con-
sideration of the tremendous prob
lens. n i o n a and international.
raised by the world war 1 have
thought of them and dwelt with them
in my mind, to the exclusion of all
other subjects. I could not turn from
them with any heart TO deal with
any other subjects, even the domestic
problems OF this great State, deeply
though 1 appreciate the vital i'm
portance Of these problems. My soul
is for the men who are fighting in
this war"

NORTHCLIFFES SAYS
WAY TO VICTORY IS
THROUGH THE AIR

LONDON, July 23.-Viscount North
cliffe believes the way to Germany
is through the air" In an inter
view he said:
'GNow, these American inventions
were produced before Americans were
engaged in the war. am as confident,
as I am in your capacity TO produce
large quantities Of everything, that
the American inventive faculty will
produce results unexpected by the
Germans. 1 am no believer in q thirty
years war, but I do believe that be-
fore this abomination is stamped out,
and it must be finally stamped out
this tremendous cOnfiagration will
blaze for a long time yet-sufficient
time to give American inventors an
opportunity OF showing their national
genius for new things and new ways
of doing things.
II am still convinced, as I always
have been since 1 introduced the
American plane to the British public
many years ago. OF the vast impor-
tance of the airplane in warfare.
The real road into Germany is above
the ground and not along IL. 1 be-
lfeve that where today we have air
machines in hundreds we shall have
them in tens of thousands. The Eng
lish speaking peoples are better
fliers than the Germans. They have
more dash and individual courage.
The German is a fine fiier in his
squadrons and circuses, but he pre-
fers the safety OF night bombing to
daylight work. You have the ca
pacity TO produce the engines and the
wings in unlimited quantity, and l
know that you will do it
"The airplane is democracys most
effective war machine, and the great
American automobile plants can
make 1t in thousands and will do So"

Sleeping Porch

Outdoor air at night is necessary for health.
Your porch will be as private as an inside
room with VUDOR PORCH SHADES. You
can put them on either the first or second floor
porch, and need have no fear that pasSersby
will see you.
Fresh air is assured you with the VUDOR
SHADES, as 4 ventilatOr is woven into the
top of each shade which lets the hot air which
rises to the top escape, and fresh air enters at
the bottom, thus keeping up a circulation.
SELF-HANGING VUDOR SHADES make
no work to put up or take down. Just drive
a few staples into the side of the porch, which
correspond to hooks on the shades and hang
them up.
VUDOR PORCH SHADES will last for
many years, are Serviceable, and add greatly
to the looks and comfort of your home;
Think of the extra room which will be added
to your home if you will equip your porch
with VUDOR PORCH SHADES.
Measure your porch, then come to our
Drapery Department and you will find the
proper size We will be glad to show you
just how to adjust them to your porch
