MANY LOVE ROMANCES
Colorado Soldier Boy Mar rieS an O'Rourke from a Line of Form-

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILHA IN BRITISH WATERS, Feb 12.-Every part of the United States has sup piled a hero in love romances that have eliminated in happy marriages between American bluejackets and blue-eyed Irish maidens since the ar rival of the American destroyer fore es in the south of Ireland. After the war, every part off the United States from Maine to California and from the Great Lakes to Florida will boast of an Irish bride who was wooed and won in her native land by an American sailor
 All of the brides are looking for ward to the happy day when they will see what their husbands so proudly proclaim as Gods Country. Already the American sailor has sup piled his Irish bride with, all neces- sary documents to establish her iden tity as an American and some have even had their property in the Unit ed States transferred to their wives as precaution in case they lose their lives for their country.
 There is the marriage of former ranchman, Bert Adams, to Brigit O'Rourke, whose family descends from an Irish king of that name Adams, who is a boiler maker or one of the destroyers, halls iron Hugo, Colorado He is now arrang ing to have his ranch in COlorad 1 deeded to his wife as a precautiol | in the event of his being torpedoed

E. ;. ANbeasoN IS
 MOVED BY SPIRIT a TO SAY SOMETHING

DOUGLAS, Feb. 14-After musing for week on what happened on the 7th of the present month, when he was fined $100 and costs for supply ing liquor to a Native daughter, C.. J. Anderson deems that a statement from him relative to the matter is in order.
 Anderson, in the first place, is satisfied that the money from which he was separated has gone to a good cause, this being time when all patriotic citizens should contribute li- berally to the support of the govern ment, which he feels he has done. Therefore, he is not worrying over the loss of the money.
 In the second place, Anderson is at a loss to know how the squaw could be "bilin'" drunk at o'clock in the morning when she took but two small drinks between 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock of the previous evening, aud it is this discrepancy that leads him to conclude that he was made eAo SouP, IHdl oohiooho CiSo oup piled her ladyship with oil of joy for which he afterward paved the penalty.
 In the third place MT. Anderson hopes that the unfortunate episode will not materially demoralize the domestic relations and home ties of thS other party whose appetite for thAt which cheers, he is confident, waa appeased other than in his cab in to which she came cold and weary and where he, with the spirit which characterized the Good Samaritan, took her in, warmed her and gave her a couple of shots from a bottle that he had in stock long before AInska joined the everlasting throng on the water wagon.

FIVE SEACULLS SAVE BOAT FROM HITTING
 A FLOATING MINE

LONDON, Feb. 12.-How five sea gulls were the means of saving a steamer from destruction was relat- ed by the pilot of the steamer on arrival at an English port. He no ticed five gulls perched on a dark object which was bobbing up just ahead of the vessel. Closer exam ination revealed that a seagull was sitting on each of the five prongs of a floating mine and there was just time to alter the vessels course and prevent a disaster.

the war movement in Constantinoplo derives it's principal impetus from the economic miseries of the people rather than from any dismay at the dwindling of Turkish power and pres tige. The terrible conditions of the poorer classes cannot easily be ex- aggerated.
 "The Reorganization of the army is another factor. The number of Turkish deserters in Asia Minor is now over 100000. The Turk des- erts not because he is afraid, but because his eyes have been opened

WHEN Mr.. HOOVER
SAYS "CONSERVEw

When Mr.. Hoover asked all us
housewives to save food, l signed
one of those pledges, saying I'd
adopt the Federal scale of volun-
tary rations. Jim didn't like it a
bit at first. He said that what with
buying liberty bonds and war saw
ing stamps for the government and
working hard all day, a man ought
to be allowed to eat enough when
he comes home at night. But now
he says he's glad I'm economizing.
1t saves money, and, besides, we
have all kinds of new dishes that
we never used to have when We
had meat every night. You see,
when l give him these extra little
fancy things he doesn't notice how
seldom we have meat.
The other night we began the
meal with a delicious hors d'oeuvre,
consisting of piece of toasted war
bread cut round with a slice of to-
mato on it and a strip of herring
across the top. l served it on a Iet-
tuce leaf and sprinkled just a few
drops of Al Sauce over it. 1t was
simply delicious. The next night l
had celery stalks stuffed with cream
cheese, into which l had beaten a
teaspoonfuI of AL. That wonderful
sauce ought to be advertised on
every food poster in the country.
There is nothing like it for econ-
0my.
