 T live on top of the hill and when reach the bottom, just in front ot Archie Carpenters, where Summit ave- nue runs into Thirty eighth street, the asphalt in some way acts as sounding board and 1t is very difficult to tell whether a Mountain Terrace car is com ing down Claremont or one of the High land avenue cars is rounding Lakeview. It has fooled me any number of times and I have sprinted to catch the Noun tain Terrace car when it was down at the junction.

War Bread Diet
 Now Imperative

mRESIDENT WILSON, in his H proclamation issued Saturday, makes it plain that greater food con servation is needed in order to help |feed our allies.
 Meatless days and wheatless days that have been observed in good faith by millions of households, as well as many hotels and restaurants, are be- ginning to count in Administrator Hoover's conservation plans. But the rationing system for 1918 calls for mixed Hours on a fixed percentage basis. There must be greater saw ing of wheat than the food adminis- traitor recommended in 1917. We are to have two wheatless days week. Monday and Wednesday-and one wheatless meal each day.
 There will be one meatless day g week and one meatless meal day; also two porkless days week. The new regulations are intended for vol untary observance.
 President Wilson appeals to the patriotism of the people for com- pliance with his proclamation. "The maintenance of the health and strength of our own people," said the President, lis vitally necessary at this time, and there should be no danger ous restriction of the food supply, but the elimination of every sort of waste and the substitution of other com modities of which we have more

This peculiar fact speaks for itself
 In Brazil alone, over 100000 Germans are established. and their colonies occupy most of the provinces of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. It is signifi- cant that all through these provinces German is spoken exclusively, in spite of the efforts of the Brazilian government to conquer the enormous influence of the Teutons over that part of the country. The native population has never synpa- thized with them and the colonists have not made the slightest effort to assimi- late Brazilian customs or even language, rather behaving themselves as if the territory they occupy was nothing but part of the German empire. The result has been an ever increasing Brazilian dislike of them, quickly brought to crisis by the affronts made by Germany against the Brazilian people and the of several Brazilian ships.
