AT THE COLONIAL TOMORROW

Charles Ray, in an unusually pleas
ing and highly amusing story. "A
Nine O'Clock Town." will be the fine
attraction at the Colonial tomorrow
evening.
Laugh and the world laughs with
YOU" This is saying as old as the
hills, but it is applicable to Charles
Ray in "A Nine O'Clock Town" This
is a comedy-drama of unusual merit
and is said to be one of the finest pro-
auctions this clever young star has
ever appeared in.
The story deals with a young man
of an inland city, who has advanced
ideas regarding the management of
the Emporium" which do not meet
with the approval of his father, and
the result is a disagreement. The
young man goes to New York, meets
with sundry adventures and loses his
position just as his father wires him
to come home and look after the
store. He was only a ribbon clerk
but he told them he had managed
Gimbel Bros store in New York and
they believed him and told him to "go
to it, at the local Emporium" He
debut the boy was good When he
go through he made them wish they
were all midnight devils in nine
o'clock town."

SCHOOL TOTS EXPRESS THANKS.

of the letters written by English chill
dren to Mr.. Hoover in which they ex-
press thanks for the food supplies
which were sent them out Of the vol
untary savings of this nation. Zach
letter is q touching sermon on food
thrift.
During the visit Of the u. s. Food
Administrator to London, piles Of
these letters were conveyed in two
motor-cars to the American Embassy,
and hurriedly arranged deputation OF
two children was then introduced to
Mr.. Hoover.
1t was explained that the letters
formed sthe childrens own heartfelt
expressions of gratitude to the great
nation which had denied itself to pro
vide us with food.
Mr.. Hoover, in his reply, said: II
value these letters very highly, indeed.

part in helping us in America to sus
tain our efforts to keep sending food
supplies to our Allies.

TASTE BETTER THAN THEY
SOUND.

Liver, heart, kidneys, tripe and
brains are meat by products that
should be more in demand. AS they
cannot be shipped, there Is never likeli-
hood of developing taste which
might some day bump up against the
food regulations. Try liver for in
stance, this way: Slice the liver
(either beef or lambs) rather thick
and pour over boiling water to cover
(this draws out the blood;) let stand
for three or four minutes, then drain
and cool Roll in seasoned cornmeal
and fry until well Drowned in hot pork

casual American way about things
that are neither casual nor American.
Fritz drop any shells in here last
nightg" some one asks her.
- few" she replies. as she washes
and dries the empty tin cups we
stood on the steps out here and
watched them for an hour or So"
Now. mind you. those shells were
falling in the fields around her viii
lage Any one of them, if it had been
set at a different angle, would have
smashed to bits the shack in which
she stood. But it didn't, and so she
keeps on making hot chocolate and
drying tin cups.
She doesn't tell the boys that one
of those shells killed outright the
military policeman who only yester-
day pulled himself up in the smartest
of smart salutes, whenever she passed.
His post was at the corner of the foot
of her hill. Instead. she tells them
what a time she is having about her
laundry. sending it down to the near
est town.
After the last of her soldiers has
put on his tin hat and gone down the
hill into the valleys from which they
start for their outposts, she begins
talking very simply about her work.
There is not mother or wife or
sister of any one of these boys who
wouldn't give all she has TO be where
am today" she says. Just think
what a privilege il is to talk to them.
and TO see that they are well and
happy, and that their clothes are
whole. Women, you know, worry
most about their uncertainties. If /
could only tell the people who are
worrying about these boys how husky
and cheerful their youngsters are,
That's what would make them happy.
Every time l get tired. l just think
how many thousands of women would
be the happiest persons on earth il
they could be where l am. Oh, it's
great"
She smothered her apron for a mo-
ment. Then she looked up and
smiled.
Want to help me get the water for
the next batch of chocolate?" she said.

In order to make the wheat supply
eff the Allied countries 90 round and
still provide for possible reverses,
there must be strict and universal
wheat economy during the coming
year.
Our allies have agreed that their
wheat bread shall contain 20 per cent.
of grain other than wheat, and the
American people. in order to do their
part, will put their bread upon the
same basis.
To carry out this plan, the United
States Food Administration has made
certain rules, effective September list,
which provide for the manufacture and
sale of fiours mixed with wheat SUBJ
stitutes and sold. therefore, without of.
setting cereals. These fiours will be
labeled "vietory Mixed Flour" Stand
ard wheat -four may still be purchased
at the rate of four pounds to every
pound of cornmeaI, corn flour, or bar
ley -four.
The new rulings set aside the fifty
fifty or pound-for-pound rule, but this
Is not to be taken az a signal for
abolishing wheat economy. The Food
Administration depends upon the CO.
operation of every Marylander to keep
up the wheat thrift and conservation
without which the present induIgent
rulings would not have been possible.
