WAS ANCIENT ROMAN ROAD
Waiting Street Probably One of the
Oldest Thoroughfares in the
United Kingdom.

Waiting street from a very early pc
Rod was applied to an old Roman road
that extended across England east and
west from Dover through London and
into Wales. One historian says: 1.-THE
milky way vas known to u early
English ancestors at Waiting street,
s~ignifying the road by which the he
roic sons of Wae!tla marched across
the heavens. When they settled in
England they transferred the name
Waiting street to the great Roman
road which they found traversing the
island, from London to Chester. POr-
tons of the road still bear the name"
The British ~cyclopedia accepts that
part of the tradition that applies the
name of Waiting street to the old Ro-
nan road, but it ignored the milky way
theory and says: ''The derivation OF
Waiting is unknown, but an English
personal name may be behind it. Ii
the Elizabethan period and after it

COAL STRINGENCY
Use of More Wood Would Aid
Economy in Commodity.
MANY DOLLARS ARE IDLE
1t Is Where Team-HauIed Wood Can
Be Used Instead of Railroad
Hauled Coal That Change of
Fuel Would Help.

Are you a coal burner when you
might be a wood burner? Have you
a woodland that isn't working? What
can the town man and the suburban
dweller do about the coal stringency?
Much would be accomplished toward
meeting the present situation arising
from the unparalleled demand for coal
and from the great burden on the ma
tion's railroads, it is believed, if not
only the farmers who have woodlands
but city and suburban real estate own
ers possessing more or less wooded
tracts of land would draw on these
areas for a part, at least, of their fuel
supply. In the neighbOrhOod of small
cities as well as larger one there are
many woodlots from which much fuel
wood could be obtained without en-
croachment on the needed shade trees
and without %detracting from the
beauty of the landscape. In fact,
proper thinning in many cases will
help the development of desirable
trees.
Save by Burning Wood.
AS dh 1uDLdlNC vi " VA al ~
saved by the burning of wood, the
United States department of agricul-
ture has cited figures for II northern
and eastern states with a rural popu-
lation of about 20,000,00 which, it is
estimated, uses annually about 49,
100000 tons of coal. 1t is figured that
the substitution of wood for one-
fourth Of the coal burned by farmers
and for one-tenth of the coal burned
in villages would result in q saving of
nearly 100000 tons, or between 65,-
GOO and 10000 carloads.
It is where team-hauled wood car be
used instead of rai~lroad-hauled coal
that the change Of fuel should be
made. While it is not expected that
the substitution of wood for coal
could be complete, it is true that for
heating many kinds of buildings wood
is the more convenient and ordinarily
the cheaper fuel.
This is particularly true in buildings
for which neat is required only coca
sionally, but then is wanted in large
volume at short notice.
Arrange for Burning Wood.
Furnaces are built especially for
burning wood in three or four-foot
lengths. If a stove crate is too coarse
for wood a sheet-iron cover over q
good part of the surface will make it
suitable, II a few bricks can be used

FOR A CHAFIMG-DISH PARTY
Simple Menu May Be Arranged and 1t
Is Easy Way for Woman Without
Maid TO Entertain.

An easy way for a woman with no
maid to entertain in the evening is to
give n chaing-dish party. Invite six or
eight friends to come in for cards or
music, or after the movies.
Everything must be gotten ready be-
fore the guests thrive, the table set
with the cloth or the doilies, and the
chatting dish with the lamp filed, in its
place on one end of the table. Many
women who do much of this sort of en-
pertaining, have a special chatting dish
set Of doilies. Oyster-white linen with
and old blue, cross-stitehed hem or
crochet edge, and little figures in the
corners to match would be most effec-
tive. These doilies are not as fine and
dainty as the usual luncheon set, they
should be more "art-and-crafty." One

a middle-aged man, well built, but
scautily clad, stood begging at the en-

relates the New York Post. The wind
was sharp and piercing and he tried to
shield his left hand, which was band
aged from the tips of the fingers to
his wrist. But now and then he held
up the bandaged member to show the
passers-by a large spot Of duh red

Suddenly from around the corner
a bluecoat came, swinging his club
%jauntily. He spied the beggar, and
walking up to him commanded him to
take off the bandage. The man hest

to assist him, he began to unwind the

More Food From New Islands.

Our new possessions in the Allan
tic-the Virgin islands-wiu become
more nearly self-supporting if the aim
of the United States department of
agriculture is realized. A representa-
tive of the federal department in
v~estigated the agricultural situation in
these islands last season and made
suggestions intended to help the peo-
pie there to produce more food.
The only crops the investigator found
under extensive cultivation were sugar
cane and Sea Island cotton, the yields
Of which are low compared with other
West Indian islands. The representa-
tive found that there was an almost
complete absence of vegetables and
fruit on the markets, indicating very
limited supplies of locally grown food
materials. Stock growing is followed
to some extent, but improved stock is
needed, better forage plants should be
introduced, and more attention is
needed to the proper handling of stock,
dairying and other farm enterprises.

NO WOOL is USED
IN NEW CLOTHES

The tendency toward wrapped gowns
and toward the oriental movement of
fabric around the body is too strong
and important to be overlooked. 1t is
quite probable that the designers will
offer it as a means of making the
straight silhouette look out of FASH
ion. .
The extraordinary success of the
Spanish movement in clothes in New
York, which has come about from the
stage and the new dances, a%ccentu-
ates the draping of the figure on the
bias.
1t will be interesting to see whether
one silhouette has a marked victory
over the other, or whether the battle
between the two becomes a stalemate
throughout the spring and summer.
Today the draped figure is on the
offensive. The straight silhouette is
making a good defensive. All of
which is excellent for the people who
sell clothes.
There is little possibility that our
clothes will flare, but there is no prob
ability that they will be attenuated. A
scarcity of wool does not mean a scare
ity of other fabrics.
There is no evidence of a shortage
in the common weaves of silk, satin,
crepe and jersey, and the early spring
models shown by the New York shops
for the southern season, embody these
materials in clothes that cling to the
figure, but are scanty.
The materials chosen for the new
spring gowns are admirable adjuncts
of the new movement. Crepe de chine
and tussah are in the lead, whereas
satin is somewhat shelved for every
thing but evening gowns.
The Canteen Coat.
1t was not possible for American
fashions to avoid the military infu-
ence, although there was pressure
against it here as in France. Old and
half-forgotten wars gave the designers
inspiration, but the present war was
too vital to influence dress at this
hour.
However, there are certain garments
that have been taken up by women and
put into high fashion, which are dis
tinctly drawn from the battlefront ir
France.
One is the swinging cape and
wrapped turban of horizon blue cloth
Another is the high boot or puttee that
reaches nearly to the knees and i!
worn on the street; and a third-ant
this is the most dominant fashion,
the new canteen coat.
This can only be worn by member
of the Red Cross, but who is there il

SCOUTS NOT TIN SOLDIERS.

In some places it has been suggested
that military titles such as ~lieutenants,
captains, majors, colonies and gener-
ais be conferred upon boy scouts in
recognition of their efforts in the war
savings stamp campaign.
This plan is not approved by the
treasury department and is not in
harmony with the leadership of the
Boy Scouts of America and is OPP
posed by representatives of the Boy
Scouts of America.
The Boy Scouts of America have al
ways co-operated with the war depart
ment in avoiding an imitation Of the
regular military titles and all other
forms of tin soldiery, although they
have a federal charter and their uni
form is authorized by the army cor
ganiZation law.

Of soft maple a cord and a half is re-
quired to equal one ton of coal, and of
cedar, poplar or Eastwood, two cords.
One cord of mixed wood, well sea-
soned, equals in heating value at least
one ton of average-grade bituminous
coal.
The most common method of making
cord wood is to cut the trees into four
foot lengths with an ak and split the
larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled in a standard cord, which is
eight feet long, four feet high and four
feet wide. The contents are 12S cubic
feet, of which 20 per cent is wood and
80 per cent air.

compliance with that request that
created the narrow silhouette and the
short, scant skirt which came out in
French models last autumn.
At any rate, the request for the
gowns that are made Of less than Az
yards of wool has been met in Paris
by an almost total elimination Of
wool in the new spring models.
Nine. Paquin, who is the head
Of the association of designers over
there, says that America need have
nothing to fear in regard to extrava-
gance with material in the new
clothes.
The silhouette is to be as slim as it
was in the directoire. Every materi-
al that can possibly be woven will
be used as a substitute for wool.
Irvine will be used for embroidery
whenever available, instead Of
worsted.
Therefore, with the joining of hands
across the sea and no drastic excuse
for using wool, it is possible to pre-
dict that the early season will be filed
| with gowns and suits of tussah, silk,
crepe de chine and artificial silk jersey.
What Men Can Do.
We women can wear thin materials
in spring and summer, hut men can't,
or won't. Enormous quantities of
worsteds are consumed for their suits
throughout the year.
The army overcoats which were
supplied by the thousands and tool
up q great mass of wool, were the
first to come under the ban of ex-
travagance as soon as the soldiers In
France found that they were too long
for the mud of Flanders and Picardy.
Other bits Of extravaganza which
are unnecessary are included in a
long list published by the manufac-
turers of mems clothing. A reduction
in yardage will result if these certain
features are eliminated.
From this list it would appear that
the manufacturers of mems costumes
have really gone into the conserva.
ton with determination. 1t is quite
astonishing how many small things
they have found that can be elimi
mated without detEiment to the an.
p~earance or serviceability of the gar

finding that the conservation of mate
rial in these small features is enough
to outfit a great number of soldiers.

borne it for two centuries.
Now, let the men do the work o

so per cent of the moisture may be

Because Of the unusual demand for
cord wood it is believed that the
present time offers unparalleled OPP
portunity not only for farmers to i'm
prove their woodlands by cutting out
the poorer trees and selling them, but
for private and public owners of
wooded tracts to clear their lands at
a profit. Communities which feel they
are threatened with a serious fuel
shortage will do well to take measures
to stimulate the cutting of wood. Such
action may be viewed as part of
Americas cooperation in the national
endeavor to feed and sustain Ameri-
cas- army and allies.
