Sailors Collars.

All sailors collars have border rum

white lines close together and parallel.
In men Of the regular British navy these
lines are straight, but the collars of the
Naval Volunteer force have the lines
wavy. 1t is difficult to say exactly
when the lines came into use or who
first originated the idea, but those who
have studied the question of uniforms
state that the lines represent the three
great naval victories of Nelson: The
battle of the Nile, Copenhagen, and Ira

the memories of these glorious British
triumphs on the sea.

TIME FOR CHANGES

But promoting preparedness is a
prime duty and function of secre

1t might be thought that Mr.. Baker
having accepted that Office aud in
Cured the involved obligation, would
drop his pacitism and hostility to the
doctrine OF preparedness.
But not so.
Even in his latest report, and at
the very time when the whole coun-
try was anxious and angry over the
results of the idiotic neglect of plain
duty of pushing preparedness in the
Two years between the sinking of the
Lusitanla and the declaration of a
state of war, Mr. Baker betrayed his
iSclG0ai PnCilloul Uy iItlOuuCluS Ill
entirely gratuitous declaration
against system of universal mill
tary tsaining.
Eor the inexcusable lack of prepar-
alton at the opening of a war whose
clouds had been yisibly gathering
over the country for two years, Mr.,
Baker gives an absurd excuse:
Adherence to a strict neutrality
delayed the beginnidg of activity for
| military preparation.
What had "strict neutrality to dc

own business as ordering equipment

pointment went. the president Nigh

nation of food waste.
The average American family could
reduce from one third to one-half the
amount of food that is placed on the
table at each meal and still suffer no
inconvenience nor fail to haAe every
appetite appeased. So long as the
money holds out and food is available
the average American family will
not do this. Food rationing, the al
lottment of a certain amount to each
person in a family, would compel
such reduction in food and every
American would be the better in
purse and in body for it.
