The Ships Are Coming.

The action which President Wilson took recently in
the two proclamations regulating export and import
trade, have been forecasted for weeks.
American business can endure curtailment of ex-
ports, and American consumers can endure curail-
ment OF imports; there is valid reason indeed why
uxuries nonessentials either should 60 out of or
come into the country while the war is in progress
1t is not that the exports or the imports in them
selves retarding factors the winning of the war;
1t IS the tonnage which they require that makes them

ships should leave ports laden with American goods

war preachment of economy still demand
Such is the power of the United States in world COM

entirely dependent upon American products American

How strong his face, now slightly grizzled,

How tender and how stern!

High courage and steel will

When Golf Wearied.

Speaking at a dinner, Representative Edward H.
Watson of New Hampshire alluded to the great
enthusiasm that characterizes the average golf plays
er and smilingy related the following story:
One evening a young man, who was dyed-in-
the-wool golfer, was introduced to beautiful girl
at dinner and later in the evening when they sat
alone in a cozy corner he began an exhaustive dis
sertation on his favorite game.
"The only objection that | have to golf," finally
broke in the beautiful girl is that at times it be-
comes trife wearisome."
"Why, Miss Jones!" exclaimed the young man
with wondering expression. 81 thought 1 under

Equality for Them.

The National Society of Patriotic Women calls
attention to a matter that Secretary Baker should
consider right away. The American woman doctors
serving in Europe without rank, title or COM
mission, while the English and French women have
such. Hence, our women doctors and nurses in
the military hospitals are not treated with equal
respect by the interns and the soldiers.
This is not so little a matter as appears on
its surface. Europeans the great sticklers for

Four Hundred Tons of Egg
Shells to Make Kid Gloves

Many people imagine when an arti-
Gle is cast into the dustbin its days are
ended. This, however, is not so, for
all the contents of dust carts are care
fully sorted as they are emptied, any
thing of value being put aside. Disre-
garding things such as scissors, knives,
ETC., many corporations are making a
big profit out of their dust" You
wouldn't think that there would be any
value in eggshells, yet every year as
many as 400 tons are required in the
manufacture of ~so-ealled kid gloves,
and also in printed calico, observes the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Corks, too, are a valuable item, for
they sell to manufacturers at the rate
of 8 cents a pound and in a year no
fewer than 100000 worth are thrown
away.
Cycles suffer a number of hardships
before they reach an absolute end. Old
tires are bought at quite a good price
by manufacturers for the rubber on
them-inner tubes are especially yalu-
able and 90 to make rubber mats and
cheap rubber toys. The frame supplies
short lengths of tube and the rest OF
the machine is melted down to make
a fresh iron article.

CarIyIe's Long Clay Pipe.

Thomas Carlyle, whose memory Will
remain as a man who has given much

They were made in Glasgow. These
pipes were made with long green
glazed tips for the mouthpiece, and
those who visited at his home say
that he smoked a new pipe every day
or perhaps oftener from the stock that
he kept in a box. Usually the pipes
were in a corner of the fireplace, with

usually or the table, though at times,
1t occupied a place Of honor on the
mantlepiece.

FANCY CHEFS GIVEN LESSON
Best In the Business Are Able to Learn
Something From the Manual for
Army Cooks, Says Wallace
Irwin.
BY IRWIN.

A few weeks ago the quartermaSter
generals department, faithful to its
complicated task of supplying every
thing from shoes to sugar to a rap
idly forming army of over a million
men, telegraphed an appeal to So lead
ing hotel proprietors throughout the
country asking the loan of $40 chefs
and expert cooks to teach the science
of gastronomics to the kitchens of our
16 new environments.
Now, the Observation-Disclosures old
mess sergeants of our regular army
cooking schools-of which four have
flourished for many years-are willing
and anxious to sit at the feet of the
capable wizards who have fed Fifth
avenue and fremont street; but so
great is the faith of the mess sergeant
In the manual for army cooks, issue
of 1916, that they pause reflectively in
their scientifically arranged pantries
and allow-quite unofficially that
maybe a few of those fancy chefs will
go back to their hotels with one or
two choice recipes well worth trying
on the favored fellow who always gets
by the plush rope and calls the head
waiter by his first name.
AS a matter of fact M. Panchard,
famous chef of the Hotel McAlpin,
New York, was "loaned" a while back
in order to gain sufficient knowledge
of army cookery to instruct National
Guard kitchens in various New York
armories. M. Panchard spent two days

at Washington barracks, where he stu
died the cuisine for enlisted men he
went back to New York with his OBJ
servations, together with a copy of
the months menu. Today the McAlpin
serves-by the enthusiastic recommen-
dation of NJ. Panchard-a military
luncheon which is a duplicate of the
noon meal which Uncle Sam dishes up
for his boys. The price of this meal
is 80 cents; and it is the highest COM
pliment which Broadway can pay the
army's camp and field mess.
EmbaImed Beef No More.
In fact, the day of Civil war hard
tack and Spanish war embalmed beef
is "long gone.'' Emergency r%ations,
of course, the soldier must carry to
tide him over bad situations where
the enemy fire is hotter than the bake
ovens behind the line. But for feed
ing his armies in barrack and trench,
Uncle Sam has become a domestic
scientist who thinks in terms of nu-
tritive values and a psychologist who
realizes hat the stomach's digestive
juices will not respond unless the
palate telegfaphs its approval to the
brain.
Never before in the worlds history
have commanders of troops realized
how absolutely an army 'moves on
its stomach 1t would not be going
too far to say that a unit in motion is
organized around the commissariat.
Closer than the artillery to the in
fantry, or the aviation division to Ell
Their, comes the group of trolling kitch-
ems" which, their great kettles boiling
merrily all day, go mule drawn into
action behind the marching men. Soup
is simmering, beef is stewing, the clas-
sic beans are heating as the doughty
cook wagon bumps along. When the
company halts for noon the efficient
cook is ready to dinner is
served" In appearance it's as simple
as the organization of a ~dining-car
service; and in actually many times
as complicated.
In the months to come, when our
American trolling kitchens" are
perched reasonably out of range on a
SCARED field somewhere in France and
our boys from home are emptying their
plates of a generous helping of "El
Rancho" stew, they may lift their
bullet-proof helmets to the printed
