| Is it not true that the cash an,
carry system1adopted as war meas
ure is effecting too much of $burdel
upon some Of our already hard work
ing h0usekeepers? From the win
dows of my home one frequently ma,
see frail looking women struggling
under the burden Of one arm stacked
high with packages, or perhaps car
trying q heavy basket, while with tn,
other hand she leads small chile
or two. Or perhaps the baby in 1
buggy is almost buried with a null
tiplicity Of bundles and cartons thai
a weary mother is pushing with eff
fort, while she too coaxes along Other
little ones with her one free hand.
Last Saturday we met two women
not strong looking by any means
who were carrying large heavy has.
ket between them, stopping to rest
frequently. They lived east of town
beyond the city limits and had here.
tofore enjoyed the delivery service
We are all familiar with the family
OF little ones. whose father leaves
early for work, perhaps taking his
lunch, and returns home at night,
tired from his labors. The mother
cares for the home and children
whom she may not leave to 60 dis
lance to market, especially in win
ter when the danger of fire Is big
consideration that worries her every
moment of absence. How is she to
receive necessary meat, groceries
ETC.. for the evening meal? NJ
Oftimes children too small to be
crossing the tracks unaccOmpanied by
an older person are dispatched hur-
-ridly to town thru sheer necessity,
returning with loads too heavy. We
may all recall instances, where the
loss of delivery is deplofed. s
With the approach Of winter the
task will be entirely beyond effort,
however much one may desire to be
loyal to the arrangement.
There is perhaps an argument that
householders should buy a quantity
at one time and keep a full Harden
constantly on hand. The class OF
good people in mind haven't the cash
perhaps, nor are their homes so fit
ted that protection from frost will
be assured. Town people do not
make pretense of providing for
family needs by that method. Neither
may we consider an additional bur-
den caused by taxing the individual
with an extra charge for delivery un-
less some reduction Is made lii the
price. "A
The inconvenience caused to many
other hOusekeepers, who have form
erly depended upon the grocer to
render service for which she paid
full value, and Of which she IL now
deprived, but continues to pay for
As perhaps Of secondary value.
The need for some voluntary adj
justment on the, part Of food deal
ing merchants, which includes both
grocers and butchers, is Imperative.
There must be some means pro-
vided by which at least those living
blocks away are taken care Of in this
respect.

WILL DESTROY socHE MACHINE
British War Minister Believes German
People Desire MiIitarism Ended.

~0ktC SSostS Abe~ss
London.-LOrd Miner, the British
secretary for war, interviewed Thurs
day by the Evening Standard, said that
complete victory was in sight namely,
the destruction Of the Prussian mill
tary machine.
It was a serious mistake, Lord Mil
ner declared, to imagine that the Ger
man people were in love with mill
tarism; when the German people saw
the complete and ignominous defeat
of militarism and realized that the
system had brought them ruin, they
would be as eager to do away with 1t
as the allies.
He added that utter wreckage OF the
Prussian military machine might be
achieved either by complete and de-
cisive victory leading to unconditional
surrender or by an armistice under
such conditions as to guarantee that
the military supremacy of the allies
should not be weakened.

ALL BAD TRAGIC HISTORY


THE sinking of the Carolina by q
German U-boat removed the last Of 4
quartet of ships that have had a tragic
history. remarked Brooks Amiss az
Baltimore, former resident of Wash
ngton. at the Willard. according to the
Washington Post THE Carolina was
formerly the Grand Duchess. built for
he Plant line I'm 1896. She made her
first trip from Boston to Halifax and
two years later she was taken over by
the government TO be used as trans
port i'm the Spanish-American war.
Her maiden voyage in the transport
service was from Charleston. s. c.,
carrying regiment of Wisconsin
troops and high army officers to Porto
Rico.
General Miles short time before
had been placed in command of the
American army and he left Washing
ton with members of his staff early in
July. At Charleston General Miles
went on board the Yale. which had
been the City of Paris of the Ameri-
can line. He left Gen. Roy Stone of
his staff at Charleston to recruit Il
gang of laborers for the army i'm Porto
Rico. General Miles proceeded TO
Cuba on the Yale and after staying
there a few days went to Guanica on
the southern coast of Porto Rico. 1t
was while he was lying in the wonder
full little harbor OF Guanica on board
the Cherokee. the Yale being too large
20 enter the harbor, that he was joined
by members of his staff who had sailed
on the Grand Duchess The Cherokee.
another Plant .iner. took the staff To
Ponce. and among others on that YES
sci was the late Richard Harding Da-
Wis, who had sailed from Cuba on a
dispatch boat. The Cherokee arrived
off Ponce the next morning to find that
the city had been taken the previous
day by an ensign of the navy i'm dis
patch yacht
"A few days later the protocol end
ing the war was declared and most of
the members of the Miles party sailed
back for the States ON the OLDHAM q
transport that had been purchased
from the Holland American line.
1.-THE curious part Of the thing is
that the Yale was sunk in some man
ner; the OLDHAM ran ashore off the
coast Of Cuba while in the transport
service; the Cherokee foundered some
where in the Atlantic and now the
Grand Duchess. rechristened the Caro-
lima, has been sent TO the bottom by
a German U-boat"

To Save Vessels From Sinking.

Interest has been aroused by an ap-
paratuS that has lately been developed
to save ocean vessels from sinking
after being torpedoed or damaged by
collision. The contrivance, which is
shown in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. comprises Illuminated steel disk,
to the center of which is attached a
series of rubberiZed canvas cone
shaped buckets. In use. the end cone
on the chain would be lowered into
the water in the vicinity of the hole
in a ships hull. Upon being caught by
the inrushing water. it would be pulled
through the opening. The whole string
of buckets would then be lowered along
with the disk so that the latter
would be pulled in place over the
break. The cones. being of flexible ma
terial, would be able to pass through
an aperture, regardless of its shape.
The disk, once in place, would be held
by the pressure of the water against
the hull.
