Western Soldiers Rugged.

The "early to bed and early to RISE

the boys in khaki who are arriving
here from the West and other parts of
the country. These youths are GER

this there is a certain amount of chiv-

The average New Yorker is pale In

responsible for this and he always Is
in such hurry that he thinks OF no
one but himself. Some of the New
York youths marvel at the appearance
of these visitors from the West. They
cannot understand why they should be
so ruddy. The explanation is easy
1t is because they spend more time In

Non.lnfiammsbIe ceIIuIoid.

The usefulness of celluloid as n
substitute for various materials is
lessened by its extreme infiamma-
bility. Considerable interest has,
therefore, been aroused by the inven-
ton by a professor in a japanese
university of a non-combustible, or
at any rate slow-burning celluloid.
While not exactly fireproof this sub
stance requires great deal Of heat
to kindle 1t, and burns very slowly.
The new material is made from the
soy bean, which the japanese have
found so widely useful, and it is said,
includes the use of formalin to pro-
duce a durable, hornlike substance.
1t is claimed that the japanese prod
uct will be cheaper as well as much
preferable to the combustible cellul0id
TO which we are accustomed.

Penny Postage Gone in ENGLAND.

Penny postage, which disappeared
at midnight Sunday, June 2. was one
Of the great triumphs of peace, and
succumbed only to the demands of
war. Although the price has gone. the
principle remains, and nothing has
been a truer index to the march of
progress than the penny stamp. Its
first use in 1910 for inland postage
amounted almost to revolution. That
date fixes the 'great divide" between
the old postal systems and the new.
The penny stamp, probably more than
any other influence, exercised power
in holding together the scattered bonds
of kinship and acquaintance through
out the far-flung British empire, and
as a factor in imperial trade 1t pro-
vided the facilities upon which modern
trading depends.
Many years ago King Edward, then
prince of Wales, said he looked for
ward with hope to the day when every
English-speaking man, in whatever
part of the world he might be, should
be regarded as being as much an Eng
lishman, so far as the penny post was
concerned, as if he lived in Kent or
Sussex.

KITCHEN RANGE;
STRICT ECONOMY
Whole War Progress Hangs On
Fuel Problem. Vast Guam
titles Or Coal Needed
DUTY OF HoUSEHOLDERS

Enthusiastic speeding-up OF produc-
ton in all the coal fields has been so
spontaneous and patriotic in response
to vital need of the country at war
that the fuel problem-upon which
in very truth, the whole war program
hangs-may seem to have been set
tied by providing the vast quantities
of coal needed.
The truth is tina the splendid work
already accomplished by nine opera
tor and mine worker is valuable
largely in the fine, self-sacrificing
example it sets for the rest of the
country which, must in an equally
patrio ic spirit, shoulder the rest of the
heavy burden.
What the miners have done, the cit
izen, the householder and the house
wife must do if the fear of stacking
up our intensive war industry is TO
be removed The coal miner, always
care-free worker, earning enough
in a few hours a week TO win him the
pleasures that gratified his tastes,
has, in the face of the nations need
come to look upon life more seriously
and upon his everyday work as much
of a national duty as tina. of the
armed soldier in the field. With no
thought but to increase the output
of coal the miner has given up his
holiday making for the duration of
the war He bids Godspeed to those
of his comrades who are called to war
but he does this patriotic service after
the days work is done. Instead of
whole mine opping work to pay the
last tribute at the grave OF a COM
rade-soldier who has died in the SER
vice, the mine-worker has realized
that his first duty is to the living and
only a selec ed and small committee
goes to the funeral to represent the
busy toilers who cling doggedly to
their tasks.
Despite this energy, determination,
sacrifice and pa riotism, the increased
coal production still falls short of
the supply necessary to win this war
for freedom. 1t is not feasible for the
ordinary citizen to aid in the task
by going in.o the mines and increas-
ing the output but 1t is practicable
and duty from which none can es-
cape, for every man, woman and child
to do his part in using sparingly and
with Conservative care such fuel as is
allotted for his personal use.
To the mine-wrker the duty is in
tensive mining; to the householder
the duty is intensive conservation.
Each day and every day the duty of
conservation of fuel must be present
4 in the mind of every CT ,izen DESTROYS
of doing his full and honest duty to
his country.
Perhaps you say that because pro-
duction of coal is stimulated. conser-
walton may be abated. But conser-
va ion must go steadily forward. Each
day brings added demand for steel to
I fight the war. Five tons of coal are
needle to produce and transport every
ton of steel amassed for this gigantic
war of STEEL Though produc ion of
coal has increased, the need for coal
has mounted and is still mounting by
such swift trade that conservation of
| fuel must persistently check any pos
sible waste and secure for the Gov
eminent and plants working on Gov
eminent contracts. every possible ton
l that can be saved.

Rises IN DEfEasE OF DOG
Toronto Newspaper Man Vigorously
Condemns silly Proposal That
They Be Killed OF in Wartime.

A wrathful correspondent of the
Mail and Empire suggests that dogs
ought to be killed off in wartime or
else such a stiff tax imposed upon
their owners as greatly to reduce the
dog population. Similar views have
been expressed since the war in Eng
land. Only the other day Lord Claud
Hamilton said that pet dogs are a
nuisance and that If he had his way
he would slaughter all the Pekingese
dogs in the country and have them
made into meat pies" Not long ago
Punch presented a picture of a tough
looking citizen grooming an equally
tough-looking bull terrier, while a Gu
rate addressed him as follows: Don't
you think, my good man, that In war
time you would be better employed in
keeping a useful animal, a pig, for
instance?" "Yus," growled the dog
fancier. "and a nice fool I'd look
goin' rattin' with pig" Proposals to
destroy dogs are founded rather on
personal prejudice or ignorance than
On consideration of the advantage
20 be gained by their determination.
The assertion that they consume much
food that might better be converted
10 human use is not justified. AS a
rule dogs live on table scraps and odds
and ends of food which would other
wise be wasted. AS for the Hamilton
suggestion about making Pekes into
meat pies, it is probable that all the
PekeS in the British isles would not
provide a single enjoyable meal for
one battalion.
IT is true that dogs frequently kill
sheep but they also kill cats and rats
and thus help to square the account.
In thousands of farmhouses they con-
stituie an invaluable guard for the
women folk. They even do such chores
es driving up the cows, churning the
milk, fetching and carrying and per-
forming other services that make
amends for the undeniable fact that
they get their hair on the furniture
and come into the kitchen with muddy
paws. At the front they are doing war
work of undeniable value. In Belgium
they are beasts of burden. They carry
messages from the trenches to head
quarters in the rear. They guard
against enemy raids; they locate the
wounded lying in No Mans Land, and
are real pal to many thousands of
homesicl1 soldiers. A proposal to abol-
ish dogs is about as sensible as pro-
posnl TO abolish nephews, and has
aDout as much chance of succeeding

orIoin Of scrater..

The word crater" from the hole
made by mine and afterward fought
for, has thoroughly established itself
In the language of the trenches. 1t is
highly obvious and inevitable borrow
ing from the volcano.
But the volcano itself took the word
from the original "crater"-the mix
ing bowl (from the verb meaning to
mix), in which the Greeks from the
earliest known times, mingled water
with the wine that they seldom cared
or dared to drink neat.
These craters, which stood In con-
spicuous positions in the hall, were
often Of huge size, and the resem-
blance to them of the volcanoes orifice
struck all ancient observers, who used
the word "crater" in the modern vol
canic sense.

HOW WAR CAMP
COMMUNITY SERVICE
MET A CRISIS
Fullest Cooperation Of Allied
Agencies Working Inside
The Camp
A SITUATION THAT
WAS ABLY HANDLED
Community Organizer At Camp
Grant Tells How He Met The
Quarantine Situation

A report has Just come in to the
National Headquarters of War Camp
Community Service at l Madison ave-
nue., New York City, of how its Com
munity Organizer at Rockford, ILL.,.
met crisis and was of inestimable
service to at least 10000 people in
a period of three days.
When c. p. Stanley, the Community
Organizer at Rockford War Camp
Grant heard that the camp was to be
quaran.ined against civilians last
week. and that movement of troops
was imminent, his first far-sighted
move was to ask the Bell Telephone
Company to rush the installation of
an additional trunk line for the
switchboard at his headquarters Club.
His next move was to spend nearly
day as a Housing Bureau for the
friends and relatives of the soldiers
at Camp Grant. BY evening he had
accommodated 500 people who had
rushed to Rockford to visit their rel
tives in camp.
Stanley reports that he had the
fullest cooperation from the allied
agencies working inside the camp
under the Commissions on Training
Camp Activities of the War and Navy
| Departments, the Y. Nj. c. A, the I.
w. c. A., the Knights of Columbus,
| Jewish Welfare Board and American
/ Library Association. He gives much
credit to the local Bell Telephone
Company for putting up two lines for
/ the exclusive use of War Camp Com
munity Service to the camp, and
states that. as a result of its prompt
cooperation. he was able 10 serve at
least 10000 people, soldiers and their
relatives. in the hectic three days that
| followed.
Among other activities" he writes,
twas the checking of baggage, and
in this connection credit must be Civ
en- TO the Boy Scouts of Rockford. and
TO Director c. A. Dickinson of the
Boys Club
In addition to locating soldiers for
relatives and roms for visitors, Stan
lev comforted the disappointed whose
soldier boys had already entrained,
advised soldiers and relatives about
handling money, received baggage
from them for the purpose OF ex-
pressing it home, arranged auto and
dinner parties, and even wrote letters
for soldiers and civilians. The last
packages were mailed from the Head
quarters Club.
The Stanley sat down and wrote out
repor. in which he gave credit for
the able handling of the situation to
anyone and everyone except himself,

TRIBUTE 10 HERO

Services Of Aviation Expert, Before

The men whom we could least spare.

their lives to stem the fury of the
German onslaught, writes +. III.
Simonds in American Review of Re-
views.
1t is this thought which must be
In the mind of all who knew Col.
Raynal c. Boiling. dead to the enemy
In the early days of the great Ger
man offensive in March. Among all
the Americans who felt and foresaw
the coming of this war to our own
country, none with clearer vision or
more instant response set himself TO
the task, alike of preparing himself
and of striving to persuade his fell
low-countrymen to prepare them
selves. He chose for his work the
aviation branch and for the three
years. while the war was still remote
and meaningless to millions of people
on this side of the Atlantic, he de-
voted his life to study and TO practical
training in flying.
American of his age counted greater
material success or was richer in the
things men sacrifice for an ideal, than
Colonel Boiling. General solicitor for
the United States Steel corporation,
respected and honored in the legal
profession for his attachments and
his promise, recognized as the one
whose influence and power for use
fitness In the future was to be great,
happy in a home which gave him all
that man can hope to receive on
this side of his life, Colonel Boiling
laid aside all of these things to re-
spond to the call of his country, not
only willingly but ready trained for
practical service.
For those who knew him and loved
him the tragedy Of his death, a
death which all who knew his daring
spirit, the unfailing response 1t made
to every challenge of danger and diff.
fculty foresaw, does not lie in the
fact that he met the death he ex.
pected and they expected for him
Rather it is found in the realization
that man who might have done so
much more in aiding his country and
his countrymen to prepare for the
real struggle, whose services were so
essential, whose loss was so irrepar-
able on the practical side has been
lost to us at this grave hour.
Colonel Boiling did not die before
he had done much which will count
In the future and will be a portion of
the history of American organization
for the conflict.

Plain boiled rice with raisins and q
dish of hard sauce is a delicious des-
sert.
Ground prunes or dates between
