SUBMARINE IS SUNK

London, Saturday, March 23.-
How a German submarine was de-
stroyed by one of its own torpedoes
which acted as a boomerang, is
vouched for in an official state
ment today by Captain Frewen OF
the British steamer FliXton. The
captain declared that while on his

pedo which, when a short distance
from the steamer was detlectcd, and

SCOUTS ARE GOOD SOLDIERS.

AS an organization the scout move.
ment is not military In thought, form
or spirit, although 1t does instilr in
boys the military virtues, such as hon.
or, loyalty, obedience and patriotism.
The uniform, the patrol, the troop,
and the drill are not for military tao
tics; they are for the unity, the har-
mony and the rhythm Of spirit that
boys learn in scouting. It is in the
wearing Of the uniform and doing of
things together as scouts that they abb
sorb the force and truth Of the scout
law, which states: "A scout Is a friend
Of all. and a brother to every other
scout"
While the spirit Of scouting il not
militaristic. the experiences Of the last
year have completely demonstrated
that outdoor scout training with its
cooking, camping. hiking, signaling,
map reading, wireless, electricity,
knowledge ofswoodcraft and ability to
care for oneself in the open helps i'm
measurably In fitting a man for the
duties Of soldier.
While scouting as a teen-age boy
program very properly is not militar-
istic from technical standpoint, it is,
however, patriotic, as proven by last
years wonderful record of scout ma
tion-wide, civic war service for the
navy department, in the two Liberty
bond campaigns. in the gardening
propaganda. in selling War Savings
stamps, In distributing more than

SCOUTS
&
(Conaucted by National Council Of ths
Boy Scouts Of America-)
SCOUTS LEO, NOT DRIVEN

To do all the undone things, to COM
plete all the war tasks of the back-at-
home battle-ground. to give help unpaid
wherever other organizations need
helping, is the gladly volunteered serv-
Ice offered to the government by 35S,-
04S Of Americas young chaps that
can't get into the army or navy any
how.
Raising gardens, selling bonds. dis
tributing official information, coaxing
quarters for War Stamps, saving food
and fuel-and urging everybody else
to do these things-are among the du-
ties Of patriots as exemplified by the
organization Of the Boy Scouts of
America.
No one makes the boys do these
things. They are not paid-thus there
Is no compulsion. No one over them
has authority to say, "You must do
this" They just follow the compul-
sion to duty as expressed in the scout
oath and brought into action by tho
leadership Of men acting as scoutmas-
ters and as troop committeeman and
as members Of local councils.
Among all these thousands Of men
leaders there are less than 300 paid
workers-and these for the most part
are scout executives directly hired to
look after the scouts by councils Of
business men in cities where there are
quite few troops.
The tremendous task of rousing
these voluntary workers to an ener-
getic answer to the many calls of the
government falls upon one man-the
chief scout executive at the national
headquarters In New York city, Mr..
James E. West.

Planning the Kitchen.

In planning new home or remod-
cling an old one 1t should always be
borne in mind that the placing Of the
stove, sink and work table in such
a way as to secure the advantages of
a compact workshop will save the
housekeeper many steps in the tasks
Of the kitchen. Time and energy will
also be saved If the shelves, cup
boards and drawers are located near
the place where the supplies or equip
ment which they are to contain are
to be used, and they will be even more
convenient II they are so planned that
their contents may be easily and
quickly removed or replaced. In Sc
lecting the equipment only that which
Is most convenient and durable should
be purchased. AS in any well-regu-
lated workshop, all the equipment nee
essary for the convenience of the
worker should be supplied, but that
equipment should be Installed first Of
all which will be used most often.

SCOUT GAME, NOT SPY PLOT.

Mysterious notes found in hiding
places on the street in Indianapolis
recently caused much CONSERVATION in
the neighborhood and resulted in a
call for the police. Visions Of some
mysterious spy plot filled the minds Of
those who read the notes.
"A boy found folded letter on a
street corner, which directed him to 60
to the bread box outside the corner
grocery, where further directions
would be found. Although the night
was dark the boy followed up the d.
rections.
On the bread box he found another
note even more mysterious, which d.
rected him to go to the first street,
then north, and then to the nearest
lamp post. The alarm was given and
the police took up the trail.
Rev. Hugh 8. Clutton Of the Tux
edo Baptist church. % Garfield avenue,
admitted he was the arch-plotter, and
had fnnocently caused all the trouble.
The explanation was very simple. Mr..
Clutton, with the boy scouts Of his
church, were out playing one Of their
tracking games.
He went ahead In an automobile,
and he placed tracking directions, and
1t was up to the boys to follow the
notes and fnd him and the automo-
bile.

Card for Your Kitchen.

The States Relations service of the
United States department of agricul-
ture has recently issued "a Guide in
Baking" The whole thing is printed
on card, ten by five and a half
inches, suitable to hang on the kitchen
wall. On 1t are the measurements Of
flour. The weights and measures were
tested in the office of Home Economics.
The table, adhered to, will enable the
housewife to make good grfddle cakes,
mullins, cakes, cookies, drop biscuits
and nut or raisin bread without using
any wheat -four.
Whatever recipes she has used sue
cessfully with wheat flour, she may
continue to use successfully with sub
stitutes for wheat flour. For instance,
the table shows that, if one cup of
wheat flour was used in certain

cups will be necessary, while all the

MAKING MOST OF
ALL VEGETABLES
Families With BACKYARD Gar
dens viii Need to Do Little
Buying in the Markets.
PRACTICAL HINTS ARE GIVEN
3ne Of the Safest Rules for Keeping
Well Is to Eat Variety Of Food
Starch and Sugar Valuable
as Fuel Foods.

All over the country war gardens
have been planted to raise food to
"help halt the Hun"
This summer millions Of cans of veg
etables will be put up by canneries
and housewives for winter use. but
everyone should have a chance to eat
the fresh vegetables while they are at
their best. If you have more than
you can use now, sell them to your less
fortunate neighbor who has no garden.
What can't be used fresh, can for
winter.
One Of the safest rules for keeping
well is to eat a variety of food. Veg
etables are a great help in giving va
riety to your meals.
Eat vegetables every day; many are
mild laxatives and they are better than
medicine.
Use many kinds and lots of them.
Let them take the place Of part of the
meat and bread you are using today.
Don't think that because vegetables
contain so much water they are not
good food. They are one of the most
valuable kinds of food we have. Veg
etables have their own particular part
In the diet which neither meats nor
Part That Vegetables Play.
They are appetizers. Their delicious
favors stimulate digestion.
They furnish fuel and protein. Veg
etables, such as sweet potatoes,
green lima beans, green corn, white
potatoes. green peas, onions. beets,
carrots and squash contain enough
starch and sugar to make them valu-
able as fuel foods. Some of these are
protein foods, too.
They help prevent constipation.
The woody part of vegetables is val
liable to give bulk to the food. For
very small children it should be re-
moved by rubbing the cooked vegeta-
bic through sieve, but a grown per-
son Of sound digestion needs some Of
this woody portion. Don't cut out all
the hard part from asparagus and such
foods. The mild acid In such vege-
effect.
Minerals Are Needed.
They furnish mineral matter This
is one of the most important parts
that vegetables play in the diet. With
out small amounts of mineral salts no
part of the body can be built; they
are needed in nerves. brain, bone,
blood and muscles. Even after growth
these minerals must be furnished to
replace the parts Of the body used up
by exercise. They have an important
part in keeping the different parts of
the body working smoothly. Eat
variety Of vegetables to furnish these
n1uch-needed minerals.
They furnish other important food
constituents about which we know
but little as yet We do know, how
ever, that these substances play an
important part in promoting growth in
the young and bodily well-being for
everyone through life.
Eat the green leaf vegetables, let.
tuce. cabbage, cauliflower, Swiss chard,
collards, Brussels sprouts, celery and
onions. They are especially rich in
these growth-promoting food constitu-
ents. Don't throw away your beet tops,
onion tops, turnip tops and radish
tsps Serve them for green's.
