COMMERCIAL COOKING.

Electric cooking has been given a
boost in Great Britain by the scare
ity of coal and gas. Electric ovens
and ranges have been adopted in
communal kitchens, great public
feeding places, and have quickly
won popularity through their con-
venieDce, automatic control and va.
ried efficiency. One of these kitch-
ems at Newcastle, the capacity Of
which is to be increased from $4,000
or 10000 meals a week to GEO.
600, is said to do the electric cook
ing at a cost of two cents for four
or five meals. Aside from the fuel
economy on this large scale, there
is reduced waste Of materials and
it is estimated that the use of 1000
electric ovens, each with capacity
of 100 pounds Of cooked meat,
would save at least 10000 pounds
daily as compared with coal or gas
fired ovens. This notable saving,
it is pointed out, would feed some
thing like $4,000 persons.

bit scar-worn would so gladly en-

that would warn You Of the pres

I need not specify them-you

You in your own way are the only
one who can conquer them. have
faith in your strength. Are you not
strong enough to give your soul its
orders and see to it that each sepa-
rate command is implicitly obeyed
1t is only thus that strong and en-
during character is developed. II

triumph that You can return to
your home, your mother and your

Washington, says he hopes to stay
in the army for the rest of his life.
At fifty-one years old he had had
enough of teaching. He is enthu-
siastic over his new career. He says
he feels like boy who has escaped
from school into the world of men.
The war has enabled him to acquire
a new set of interests. 1t has done
something for him that is psycho-
logically stimulating. But for it
he would have been deferred from
changing his career by the prac-
teal considerations that prevail in
time of peace. Now his career has
been changed for him and has led
him into activities of a peculiarly
interesting kind. calling into play
undeyeloped abilities.
For a good many men the war is
working this kind of revolution.
One sees them here in Washington,
active in spite of the scars Of age,
with an alertness that manifests
their delight in their new service.
Some Of them have escaped from
work that they detested Others
have turned from work that had
kept them in a rut.-John d. Barry
in the San Francisco Bulletin.

DRESS UP PORCH SWING.

The ordinary canvas porch swing
may be smartened up after sun and
wind have made it bit shabby. If
ii was of brown canvas originally,
the sides and back may be treated
to a coat of green paint, and the
mattress covered with green and
white striped awning cloth; several
square pillows similarly covered be-
ing added to the couch. The ropes
which suspend the porch swing
should be kept in good repair and
replaced when necessary. Nothing
gives porch such rundown look
as frayed and knotted hammock
ropes.

For Representative

The Record believes that Wash
on and Maury Islands should be
represented in the next session of
the legislature, and heartily en-
dorses the contribution in the is
sue Of last week by Mr.. Banner,
in wi, ch he urges the nomination
of Mr.. G. A. Collins.
This is a case of the Office seek
ing the man, and, as was stated.
if we can make his nomination
unanimous on Vashon- Maury he
win stand an excellent chance OF
being one of our representatives
from King county.
Certainly no better choice could
be made. Mr.. Collins is well and
favorably known as a successful
business man; a man of ability
and integrity; "a man who would
faithfully and honestly represent
the district. He is am independ-
ent thinker and altogether a live
wire" in whom the people have
implicit confidence.
Congress will find fruitful
field for investigation in the
standards applied to physical ex-
aminations for entrance into the
army and navy, says writer
in Leslie s. Repeated and thor
oughly authenticated reports Of
obvious acts of injustice to pat
riotic young Americans have
reached members of the Senate
and House from every part of the
United States. There have been
definite and innumerable instances
of d double standard IN the selec-
ton of fighting material. Again
and again, patriotic volunteers for
active service have been rejected
for physical reasons when they
volunteered and afterward ac-
cepted when they We're drafted.
If a man is physically fit for the
draft, he is surely fit enough to
receive favorable consideration
when he asks permission to fight
for his country. When he is re
iected az physically unfit by an
army or navy medical board, than
fact unquestionably should fig
ure in the decision of the draft
board that considers his ease.
An American love of fair play
must take exception to dis
elimination between volunteers
and draft selectives. The need
of a greater uniformity in phys
zeal examinations for military
service has become painfully APP
parent. 1t merits prompt and
exceedingly careful consideration
by Congress. Why not provide
that if rejected as a volunteer
and then accepted as a drafted
soldier, the applicant shall be

GERMANS SOLVE

LONDON, July 2.-According to re- ports which are received from Ger many, the German newspapers are publishing plans which indicate a very neat solution of the Polish problem. All of the central powers have approved of the conditions, which are, of course, made up with out the consent of the Poles. The principal features of the plan as shown by the newspapers show that Germany wants the frontiers of Po- land established as Germany will state is military necessity for her. Poland must make an agreement to grant concessions to the Germans for period of fifty years on the principle that Germany is the most favored nation. Wherever there are ten or more children who claim German origin in a community they are to have a German school paid for by the Poles. The Poles have not answered to the terms.

CASUALTIES OF
 BIG EXPLOSION
 NEAR SYRACUSE

SYRACUSE, N. Y, July 3.-An ac- curate count shows that 45 were killed in the explosion at the Semet SOlway T. N. T. plant, and 80 were injured The first estimates placed the dead at over 100 A large fire followed the explosion. and it was very difficult for the firemen to fight because of the obnoxious gas and the dense smoke. About one. half of the plant was destroyed, the damage done being estimated at over $1, 1,000,0OO. Reconstruction will be started immediately, as the plant is necessary in manufacturing the high explosive, trinitrotuloul, commonly called T. N. T.
 A later report says that some more bodies which were previously passed over have been found, brinT ing the total dead up to 62. It is now thought possible that some more bodies will be found in the ruins The explosion was tremendous and shook the city. So far there are no facts confirming the theory that the explosion and fire were caused by spies. District Attorney Walrath says that there are some very pc
 culiar circumstances in connection with the accident. The water sup
 ply system broke down. and at the same time the lighting system, and there will be very careful invcs tigation made.
 Many workmen were badly fright
 ened and fled from the vicinity with thier families during the night
 as it was thought that there might
 be more explosions.

BCLSHEVIKI
 WERE KILLED
 IN E. SIBERIA

WASHINGTON, D. C., July g. Advices received here say that when the fighting occurred several days ago in Vladivostok/ between the Czeco Slovaks and the Bolsheviki several of the Red Guards were killed. At the time it was thought to be typical Russian meeting where there was much arguing and rough-housing with no one seriously injured The Bolsheviki had called meeting of the laborers and sol. diers and were promoting their ex- treme social ideas when the Czeco Slovaks interfered and broke up the meeting, driving the Bolsheviki from the city.
 The unexpected strength of the C2echo Slovaks has caused the en- tente diplomats to hold confer enc. The confirmation of the re port that they now hold Vladivostok signifies that there is real nucleus ';n Siberia around which can be built a resistance to the BOlsheviki. So tar they are the only body in OppO sition to the Bolsheviki which has shown any strength and ability to gather the various elements together m a revolt. The situation as it now stands offers much better protec
 ton to the allied supplies which are at Vladivostok.

 BERINC RIVER
 COAL DISTRICT

SEATTLE, July 2.--Falcon Joslin told the chamber of commerce ex ecutive committee that he intends to develop the Boring River coal fields on large scale. Ha recently obtained leases from the government covering both coal and oil. He or ganized the Boring River Coal com pany and obtained capital. It is planned to build 65 miles of rail road westward to the Copper River railroad.
 The coal fields are known to con- tain very high grade coal. They are inaccessible from Controller Bay, although bordering on it. A seep- age of oil leads them to think that petroleum may be found in large quantities. Work on the new mines is to start immediately. K. R. Van Camper leaves Monday to begin work.

They are being moved eastward from the western cantonments. The excessive traffic on the American roads causes the department to make use of the Canadian line, which has been put at their service.
