There are tricks even in the sailor
boys trade. Consider the one of this
young man whose war vessel is an
chored somewhere near New York. He
came into a hotel in West Forty-second
street one night at 3 o'clock, writes
a New York correspondent, the clerk
pushed the register around and the
seaman signed his name. He did not
speak. He took his room key and went
to his room. Next morning at IL
o'clock he came downstairs in a rage.
To the clerk he told the story of hav-
ing left a call for 8 o'clock, and of not
having been called. Then to the man.
ager he rushed. 81 have not been
called by your clerk, and I I'M six
hours late reporting at my post of
duty. 1t is the fault of the hotel and
/ demand a written letter from you,
the. manager, TO the commander of my
ship, saying the blame is yours, that
I was not called when 1 should have
been" The manager didn't eve smile.
He knew the sailors game, and hur-
riedly dashed off a letter, assuming all
blame for the young patriots failure
to arrive at his post on time.

POSTAL SERVICE is BETTER
improvement Throughout the Country
in Conduct Of Business Is Noted
by the Department.

officials Of the post office depart
ment claim that it has been proved
that the service rendered to the people
of the country at post offices has been
greatly improved, notes q Washington
correspondent, and they s~ubstantiate
this claim by the diminishing number
Of complaints that are received and
by expressions of approval in the
press and elsewhere. In the depart
ment, it is also pointed out, corre-
spondence with postmasters Is con-
Quoted with more facility and expedl-
ton than formerly, and the reports
of post Office inspectors, as well rs
statements furnished by the auditor
Of the department indicate that the
ability of postmasters to conduct their
post offices satisfactorily to the public
and to the department is greater than
it has been at any time in the past.
The increased efficiency of postmas-
ters has been due, it is asserted, not
only to the care exercised in their Sc
lection, but also to the kind and
amount of service required of them.
No postmaster has been permitted to
regard his position as a ~sinecure, but
all ~postmasters have been required to
devote not less than eight hours of the
day to their official duties and to as
sumo the active direction of the postal
operations committed to their charge.
Wide discretion has been granted
postmasters in the arrangement and
adjustment of their facilities to meet
local needs and demands for service,
but complete subordination and COOP
Grafton has been required with respect
to the important general policies Of
the department and the specific direc-
tons issued for standardiZing the
methods of work and organization In
post offices. The department has not
hesitated to emove such postmasters
as have failed. after appointment, to
measure up to the required standard
| of efficiency and performance.
1t is stated that practically all post
masters of the fourth class now serv-
ing have been appointed as a result
| of competitive civil service tests. The
service in small communities through
out the country has been benefited by
the impartial selection of the most
competent persons available to serve
as postmasters, and by the appoint
ment of those persons in accordance
with procedure which makes the civil
service status of each unquestiona

Old BOreas is no r~especter of per-
sons, especially near the tall buildings.
Besides showing the male portion all
the latest designs in hosiery, he not
infrequently steals the dome covering
of some fair one who is negotiating a
crossing. That is what he did recent
", but at the same time there was an
exhibition of chivalry, which showed
that it was not buried when knight
hood passed away. At one of the
Broadway corners, notes a New York
correspondent, where traffic is excep-
~tionally heavy, a gust of wind caught
in its whimsical grip the headgear OF
q young lady who was crossing the
street and caused it to roll merrily
past a car and close to the hoofs of q
passing team, before the warning hand
of the big bluecoat guardian had been
raised all traffic was voluntarily halted
and he was given opportunity to rescue
the unchanged piece of millinery and
return it to its embarrassed but CRATE
full owner. A wave of the cops arm
and every vehicle continued its jour
ney, which had been momentarily
halted by the girls mishap. All of
which proves that the days of chivalry
are still with us.

There Is no prospect now of q respite
from the necessity to knit and II such
a respite were in sight there are many
women who would not take advantage
of it. This knitting for the soldiers
turns out to be a fascinating occupa-
ton that quiets the nerves and salts
fies the hearts desire to do something
worth while.
There is no end to the demand for
warm soX, for scarfs and sweaters and
helmets, and there is no limitation to
the willingness of to make
them; so we are destined to go on
knitting. Even the end of the wal will
hardly see the end of our devotion to
the good, old-fashioned art. BY that
time we shall have become addicted to
it-and also to the necessity of being
useful.
The knitting bag is the outward and
visible sign of u patriotic industry
and every day brings out new ones.
The last arrivals are somewhat smaller
than the sweater bags that were so
numerous in the summer and fall fol-
lowed by knitting Dags patterned AFTER
them. Satin and ribbon are used for
making many of these new bags, in
plain and printed weaves and in bro
caded and embroidered patterns. They
are designed so that they can be cas-
lily carried on the arm and to make
the knitting so accessible that every
where their wearers sit down for a
quarter of an hour, or even less time,
the knitting goes faithfully on. Three
ribbon bags are shown in the group
illustrated. The largest bag is made
of ~rose-colored ribbon in five strips

strips are trimmed in a curve and the
edges are finished with a narrow plat

move to a hot platter, add a little wa
ter to the fat in the pan to make the
gravy, then pour 1t over the liver.
Hominy and Tomato.-Take two
cupfuls of hominy and combine with
well seasoned tomato, using a cupful
seasoned with two tablespoonfuls
each of fat and flour cooked together
and added with salt and pepper to the
tomato. Mix all together and bake
In a well buttered baking pan, cover

add two onions sliced thin, and cook
until soft in the bacon fat. Combine q
can of lima beans with four large po-
tatoes cut in cubes, and a quart of
milk. Add the bacon and onions and
cook until the potatoes are done.
Thicker with two tablespoonfuls of
flour mixed with a little of the cold
milk, add four and a half te%aspoonfuls
of salt, a can of okra and stir in a can
of tomatoes, adding a fourth of a tea
spoonful of soda as they come to the
boiling point.
Dried Beans With cream.-Soak a
half cupful of beans, any variety ex-
cept the navy, and cook in the same
water until tender. Season with salt
and pepper and sweet cream two or
three tablespoonfuls will be sufficient.
This is a most filling and nutri-
tious dish good for q meatless meal.
Bean Loaf.-Take one cupful of lima
beans, soak over night and stew

better-or heat a glass of the hardened
marmalade and pour it rich and thick
over the rice cups. Serve with a Gus

The Sound of Guns.

Conflicting statements have been
made from time to time as to the dis
lance at which the guns can be heard.
On a still night, when an easterly
breeze is prevailing l have heard the
dull thud quite distinctly in South
London, observes a writer in the Lon
don Chronicle. 1t is this disquleting
sound, not less than the din of an oc-
caslonal air raid, which gives London
ers an idea how near the conflict really
is. Now records are being prepared
which show the extent Of the distance
at which the guns are heard. Scien'
lists at University college declare they
can be distinguished at a range of 200
miles. This would include places like
Warwick, Hull, Cromer, Brighton and
Weymouth. Sound travels at a rate Of
about 1000 feet a second, so that the
sound of the guns in Flanders reaches
London about twelve and a half min
utes after the explosions occur

bed of shredded lettuce. Sprinkle with
finely chopped nuts and serve with
French dressing. Chilled bananas
served this way make a tasty dessert,
using whipped cream in place of the
salad dressing.
Celery and Grapefruit SaIad.-Cut
the grapefruit in thirds, remove the
pulp and cut up with an equal amount
of celery. Mix with salad dressing and
fill the shells with the mixture, garnish
with celery tips or watercress.
Mint and Orange SaIad.-Take three
tablespoonful of finely chopped mint,
six oranges, the juice of half a lemon
and two tablespoonfuls of powdered
sugar. Remove the pulp from he Or
anges, mix with the other ingredients
and chill. Serve in dainty glasses.
Grapefruit Cocktail. - Cut each
grapefruit carefully to resemble a bas-
ket, remove the pulp and scallop the
edges. Cut the pulp rather fine and
mix with canned white cherries, sweet
en- TO taste. Chill and serve in the bas-
kets. Garnish with red cherries. Other
fruit combinations may be used If de-
sired.
Orange SaIad.-Peel oranges and
| slice thin, laying them in overlapping
slices on an oblong plate, garnish with
powdered sugar and candied cherries,
or dress with French dressing and gar
nish with parsley or watercress.
Apple Cups.-Pretty apples scooped
out to form cups and reflled with the
minced apple with celery and nuts,
make a most attractive salad. Any
salad dressing may be used. Slice a
small piece from the stem, and, leav-
ing the stem in for a litter, then with
a sharp spoon scoop out the apple;
when filled the lid may be replaced, the
apple served on a dolly covered plate.
Yellow, green and red apples may be
used, or one color is preferred. A
cocktail may be served in apple cups
or any sauces for meats, making a
most dainty receptacle.

Trained nurses are urged by the Red
Cross to enroll for service in European
hospitals. Nurses who can leave this
country at any time, for foreign serv-
ice, are needed or will be, and it is verT
necessary that they should enroll at
once.
The woman's bureau of the Red
Cross has published n leaflet which
may be had by applying at any chap
ter, describing layettes for French or
Belgian mothers who may need them.
With regard to these simple QUILTS of
warm baby clothes the Red Cross has
issued the following:
The articles and garments in the
layette have been chosen upon the ad-
vice of the woman's bureau representa-
tives who have returned from Il two
months investigation of allied needs in
France. The Red Cross is anxious
that these baby clothes be made by
women working at home instead of in
the chapter workrooms.
1.-THE garments are very simple.
Great emphasis is laid on the purchase
of extremely durable materials, since
owing 10 the coal shortage in France,
hot water is available in most villages
only twice "A week, while the greater
part of the laundry work is done in icy
streams. The method of cleansing is by
pounding with stones. Warm baby
clothes will save many n child who
otherwise might perish this year.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1918-01-05

1.-THE layette will, If necessary, serve
also for civilian relief here in America.
Patterns described in the leaflet
can be obtained at Red Cross chapters,
and at practically every retail dry
goods store with a pattern counter.
The outfit calls for:
1.-TWO daisy-cloth or outing flannel
dresses, one flannel or knitted or
crOcheted jacket, three bleached mus
lin jackets, three thin white flannel
brassieres, one flannel or daisy-cloth
hood, two pairs of bootees, two swad-
ding cloths or wooden blankets, three
flannel binders, twelve diapers, three
undershirts, one bonnet and u bag filed
with sundrieS for the little newcomer
into a warning world. Wherever pos
sible the Red Cross urges that the
layette be completed before it is turned
over to the chapters for shipping.
Where this is not possible, single ar
ticles will be acceptable.
members of the Junior Red Cross,
little girls in the grammar grade sew
ing classes, have offered to help with
the baby clothes; and many women In
rural districts will find these simple
| contributions to the winning of the
great war and the comforting of French
motherhood, easier to make than cut.
