New Caps for Yankees.

A new cap without brim or peak.
and matching the army uniform in col
or, is being worn now by all American
soldiers overseas. War department
statements said the cap not only is
more practical than the regulation
campaign hat worn by soldiers in this
country, but adds to the safety Of the
men In the trenches, as in the case of
tall men the campaign hats could be
seen above the parapets. The cap can
be worn under the steel trench he'll

When the Teutons took notion that
they'd like to start raid.
Well. the worker saw them coming-liks

And he cooked his Yankee eye at them
and said: "Oh, very well.
II my job is interrupted Ill hnd some-
thing else to do
And he shook his hairy Yankee fist at
all the Teuton crew.
Then he hailed wounded Tommy and he
said. "See here, my son,

For those chaps have stopped my work.

So guess I'll dig a shelter hole and set

He hadn't soldier training and he didn't
need command,
But he knew the proper place was

Like a soldier of the soldiers, like peer

He win sure be facing forward and hold

That's everywhere that you can name

for a small family the addition OF
two guests made the stretching Of the
salad imperative, so cupful Of nice

been left over, was added to the pota-

hereafter we will use cottage cheese
with our potato salad. A pimento had
been used to season the cheese, which
added to the appetizing flavor.

AMOUNT OF FOOD NEEDED
Committee of Experts Has Decided
Just What Must Be Supplied to
the Average Man.

As basis for calculating the amount
of food which must be provided for
the human system the interallied scien-
tific food commission has found that
an average man of 154 pounds working
eight hours day requires food having
an energy value of $500 calories.
The commission consists of repre-
sentatives of the United States, France,
Italy, Belgium and Great Britain, and
its purpose is to consider the food prob
lem of the allies from scientific point
of view, and in agreement with the in
terallied executives to make proposals
to the allied governments.
The commission agreed that, In event
1t should become impossible to supply
$500 calories of food, reduction of
10 per cent could be suffered for some
time without injury to health. The
minimum ration of fat for the saver
age man" was determined upon as two
and five-eighths ounces day.
The commission recommended that a
uniform average milling extraction of
50 per cent for wheat be adopted
throughout the allied countries, but
this extraction may vary from so per
cent in summer to 90 per cent in win
ter.
The commission held sessions In
London, Paris and Rome.

AT THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

At the Republic Theatre, tonight.
Gladys Brockwell will be seen in re-
markable new drama called THE
Scarlet Road" The announced
causes a great deal of interest just at
this time, because Miss Brockwell has
been earning a splendid reputation in
the last few plays in which she has
been put forward and the William Fox
star is one of the big favorites of the
screen. The new picture presents her
in strong and attractive light, and
her admirers will find new element
in her acting that will add to their de-
light in her work.
The scene of the play is laid in the
Bohemian life in one of the great
cities, and the role portrayed by Miss
Brockwell is that of a woman who
withstands all the temptations around
her, even when her affections are most
deply involved. Two men fall in love
with her. One proves false to the
great trust she gives him. 1t is an in
tensely thrilling photodrama of the
kind in which Miss Gladys Brockwell
does her best work.

RED CROSS READY
AMERICANS CAPTURE
Has Supplies In Switzerland for That
Number Should They Be
Taken BY Enemy

What the American Red Cross has
done in Switzerland to aid the ten
thousand French prisoners who pass
through there each month on their
way home, to care for Russians in
termed in the mountain republic and
through there to send aid to Ameri-
cans in German prison camps is told
in the third installment of the report
issued today to the American people
concerning the use being made of the
Red Cross War Fund
Although the total amount spent
there since May / and to be spent
up to December 81 is less than ST.
100000, the important work accom-
plished and underway is marvellous,
according to the report Prior to May
/, the expenditures amounted to $780,
900, consisting of a gift of $125,000
to the Swiss Red Cross, and a dona-
ton of $4,000 to assist the Swiss gov
eminent in caring for Russian pris-
oners interned there.
Great store houses have been estab-
lished at three points in Switzerland,
in which were on August / enough
supplies to provide for the wants of
fifteen thousand American prisoners,
should the fortunes of war cast that
many into German hands, the report
states. So far, the appropriation for
such work amounts to $475,000.
These supplies consist of every
thing that men in their condition
might need" the Red Cross Commits
sioner in Switzerland has reported.
There is food enough to furnish them
three square meals day. There are
clothing and materials to make cloth
ing, both for officers and men. There
are dainties for the sick and comforts
for the suffering. There are pipes, to-
bacco and cigarettes. chocolate,

FIREARMS ARE NO FRAGILE
Shotgun Properly Cared For Is Said to
Be Good for > Hundred
Thousand Shots.

A question frequently asked is. ''How
long will my shotgun lasty or "How
many shots can l fire from my rife or
revolver before it wears out?r
II is impossible for anyone TO say
just how long a firearm will last, be-
cause il is impossible TO tell before
hand what kind of care it is going to
get. and the care il receives makes all
the difference between few hundred
shots and lifetime of faithful service.
Assuming that they are cleaned care
fully and consistently a good shotgun
will show practically no falling off In
pattern or penetration for probably
well over 100000 shots. A 22-caliber
rifle and a revolver are both good for
$4,000 or $4,000 shots. A high-power
rife is good for about 1900 TO 5000
shots, usually the higher the velocity
the shorter the life of the barrel.
Judging from these facts ii would
appear that the higher the pressure
developed by the explosion the more
wear on the barrel, for the shotgun de-
velops the least pressure and the high
power rifle the most.
A rather interesting sidelight on this
question of barrel life is determina-
ton Of the actual length of time to
which a good shotgun barrel is sub
jected to the force and burning effect
Of the powder charge during its life
time. If 100000 shots are fred from a
shotgun the inside of the barrel is ac-
tually exposed to the flame of the
powder charge for about four minutes.
