DISHES MADE
WITH THE USE OF RHUBARB

Almost the first thing in the gar
den to start growing in the spring is
rhubarb. that very common, but ever
delicious member OF the fruit family,
some times called, "pie-plant." We all
like rhubarb in various ways, the
most common being either plain sauce
or pie. Since rhubarh is so easily pre-
pared, very little pains is ever taken
to have it look attractive when served.
Not that it matters great deal, but
still, If one has the time to spare, . lit
tie more care can be- expended, and
many new and delicious desserts pre-
pared from this healthy fruit.
Rhubarb makes excellent jelly II it
is mixed with some tart fruit like cur
rant, crab apple or lemon Juice. Il
has peculiar favor all its own and
is pink in color.
Rhubarb can be put up for winter
use in various ways. One excellent
plan is to cut the stalks into conven-
lent lengths and lay in long, shallow
bake pan Sprinkle sugar thickly on
the fruit and place in a hot oven. The
fruit will cook in its own juice and be
transparent and perfect in shape.
Next time you prepare rhubarb for
sauce, try the following method:
Make rich syrup Of hot water,
brown sugar, or maple sugar and q
little lemon or orange peel; boil them
all together, when the syrup is right
both in taste and thickness (about the
same as maple syrup), lay pieces Of
rhubarb that have been cut into four
or six inch lengths, in the syrup and
let cook till tender, taking care not to
break or mash them. When done, re-
move to individual dishes. When all
the pieces Of fruit have been cooked,
pour the remaining syrup, which by
this, time should be rather thin, over
the rhubarb pieces and serve.
Rhubarb Pudding
Use for this dessert slices of stale
bread, lemon peel. sugar to taste and
three-quarters Of q pint Of custard.
Butter q pudding pan and line it with
slices Of bread, cut thin, from which
the crust has been removed. Stew q
piece Of lemon peel with some rhubarb
and sweeten 1t to taste. While still
hot, fill the basin with the stewed
fruit, cover with slices Of bread. Put
heavy dish on top and press down
with weight and let get cool. Serve
with a plain custard sauce.

In cases of claims for insurance,

length of time, the inquiry should be
addressed to the Bureau of COmmuni-

Inquiries concerning men wounded
or killed in service, or automatically
reported wounded or killed should be
addressed to the same bureau.
In asking for information of any
kind, the full name of the soldier or
sailor, his serial number, his company
and regiment or other unit, his rank.

No Helmet More Efficient
Than That Being Worn by
American Boys in France

"The helmet worn by American sol
diers follows the general lines Of the
British type of inverted soup plate
rather than the French 'casque' or the
German coal scuttle,'" says Francis
A. Collins in "The Fighting En-
gineers." Penetration tests show that
no helmet is more efficient than that
Of the American type. Every helmet
issued to the American soldier, has
passed a severe test and is absolutely
free from cracks or flaws.
To turn out this complicated head
gear by the million, using only the
highest grade of materials, is big
order; but the great manufacturing re-
sources of the United States have
proved equal to the Quantitive produc-
ton. Steel helmets had never been
made in the United States; but new
machinery was designed, and the sup
ply has never fallen behind the de
mand.
The helmets are made by stamping
and punching sheets of steel, so thou
sands may be turned out in day with
great saving of labor. Each steel
sheet is one foot square and one
sixth of an inch thick. The pieces
sheared off and other wastage are re-
turned to the government, so thai moth
ing is lost.

Platinum Is Absolutely
Necessary to Aid America
in Fighting the Germans

For war purposes the United States
must possess or control every ounce
of platinum in the country, says New
York Times, because, as Represent
ative Henry T. Rainey of Illinois
pointed out in his speech in the house
recently, Explosives cannot be manu-
featured without the use of sulphuric
acid and nitric acid, and sulphuric and
nitric acids cannot be manufactured
without ample supplies of platinum"
Platinum is also essential for the man
ufacture of ignition points in air.
planes; and guns cannot be made with
out the use of promoters, and in turn
promoters cannot be made without
platinum. A pyrometer is an instru-
ment for measuring very high degrees
of temperature.
All this being so, no patriotic
makers of, or dealers in, articles of
luxury into which platinum enters,
only because it has become more ex-
pensive than gold, would stand in
the path of action by congress to give
the war department control of the
available supply Of platinum in this
country.
Germany now has its hands on the
greater part of the worlds store of
platinum, which is to be found in the
Ural mountains. Colombia, which Ger
man propaganda is seeking to infiu-
ence, produces 10 per cent of the
whole; the United States only per
cent. Iridium and palladium must
not be forgotten; they occur with
platinum and are used in hardening it.
The jewelers., manufacturers and deal
ers can get along without platinum, If
necessary, though some of their arti-
sans would have to seek other work !;
but the American army cannot fight
without platinum.

Four Years Changes.

Weapons which were thought mas
sive and powerful in 1914 are puny in
1918. Thus, heavy artillery, whose
weight tied it down to fixed fortifica-
ton, is now moving merrily over the
field of battle. Where formerly we
talked in millions, now we talk freely
in billions. Before the war % to 30
knots was battle cruiser speed; today
we have such ships of from 10000 to
200, 900 horse power steaming at 80 to
90 knots. A notable instance of this
growth is in the field of aviation.
where the British have airplanes Of
600 horse power, and the Italians have
gone up to 1000. And the end is not
YET.

Suggests Changing Birds
Name to "Prussian" Sparrow

In some parts of the United States
more birds than usual are found,
writes Norman Hapgood in Leslie's.
In plumage and song, this interest Of
life has been increased. The reason
is found largely in the severity Of last
winter. The hardy English sparrows
remain the year around, even in our
colder states, but this time many of
them were frozen. These sparrOws
are sturdy fellows, notable for fighting
powers, gifted in organized aggression.
Does this show any general superb
Ority to the birds they drive away7
Would it be better to have many birds,
each beautiful and tuneful after his
own kind, or universe of sparrowsf
And how would it do to change the
name of the aggressive breed to Prus
sian sparrows?

Where Battle viii Be Fought
That Will Decide the War Is
Question World Is Now Asking

The question as to where and when
the deciding battle of the present great
war will be fought is one which the
whole world is asking, says a writer
in Philadelphia North American. The
battle of the Somme, Verdun, the bat
tie of the Marine and the great drive
against the Hindenburg line were each
a great stride toward victory, but only
the future can tell just when and
where the deciding blow will be struck.
And without such blow, say the his
torians, no permanent peace can be
achieved, for wars of the past show
that the end is always brought about
by some great, decisive victory.
Gettysburg was the deciding battle
of the Civil war, and Saratoga is con-
sidered as having been the critical fight
during the Revolution. One must,
however go back some 2,407 years to
find the first decisive battle of his
tory, which was fought at Marathon,
when the Athenians under Mllitades
defeated the Persians and preserved
free government.
Equally decisive was the victory of
the Syracusans over those same Athe-
mans some seventy odd years later,
and since then there has been no war
in which some battle has not been def
nitely the deciding struggle. Oddly
enough, such battles are almost always
fought on land, for no matter how
great the victory at sea, it does not
seem as efficacious in ending war as
does such victory on land.
Thus, while the battle of Trafalgar
in 1905 was the deciding naval battle
between France and England since it
destroyed Napoleon's hope of invading
Great Britain, it was not until Water
loo, some ten years later, that a de-
cisive defeat was administered to
Bonaparte by the allied armies Of Rus
