 It was following the direct testimony that the commissioner had to speak to Denson several times about attempts to browbeat witnesses.
 Denson. by his line of questioning. attempted to show some long time con- spiracy against him between Borden Burr and MT. Ferguson. Referring to fight at the university P years ago Denson had sought to show that Burr and Ferguson had at that time en- tered into conspiracy and hired man named Marriott to whip Denson while he was at the university. It was here that MT. Ferguson gave vent to a vigorous You lie!''

 The blackface artist in the act and the little lady who admitted she was a nut, took off the honors.
 Edith Clifford was a big hit. She sang several eccentric songs, and impressed her personality on her audiences most eharmingy. Her Hoover Song," in which she advised the audience to save meat and wheat for the Sammies, "For he sill need it when he lands in Ber- l:n," proved to be the greatest hit with her hearers. And it was deservedly a hit, aside from the fact it strikes a pop ular chord in the public mind. She sang it well. Orville Whitledge assisted her at the piano.
 William Egdirettu, his posing horse and dogs and young lady assistant pre- sented the most beautiful act on the programme. It was a posing act pure and simple, but the manner in which the four dogs and the horse faced the glare of the spotlight unbIinkingly was wonderful. Scenes from the hunt were presented strikingly, but the best of them all, perhaps, was that where one of the dogs was wounded. He was shown lay- ing on the ground. with the. hunter on pended knee, lowering over him, his fel- lows grouped around looking with pity.

EvERYWOMAN

"Everywoman' is of our day-one
of us-and the yearnings which fill
her soul are those of the average
young woman of the times. An unsat-
isfed longing in her heart for love; q
great, mighty, overwhelming love is
the mission which sends her from the
peace of her own freside out into the
world. Her mirror, tells her that she
is beautiful and Flattery, personi-
fled dandy, whispers to her of a great
King Love who is waiting somewhere
in the vast mystery OF things to claim
her and make her his own.
Accompanied by her three hand
maidens, Youth, Beauty and Modesty,
she sets out upon her pilgrimage. In
tie quest she visits strange and in
teresting places; a great city play
house where she is wooed by Passion,
ali actor; Wealth, magnate, and
Witless, an aristocrat.. She plunges
into the gaieties of the world, burns
life's candle at both ends.

TT becomes my duty to notify all

servance to the swheatless and meat

ACCURACY OF THE
FRENCH ARTILLERY
Testified to by Highest Military
Authority Among the
TeufOns

French 'FRONT.' Correspondence of
the Associated Press) - General Luz
dendorff, regarded by the Entente
Allies as the master-mind of the
German army, pays an unintentional
compliment to the accuracy of French
artillerymen in a memorandum issuea
toethe troops on October 4, which has
just been made available to the COR
respondent of the Associated Press.
In this document he admits that the
French gunners by their counter bat
terry fire destroyed in one German
army alone in the course of month
] eighty-three German field guns and
seventy two heavy cannon, while they
seriously damaged and put out or
commission also 282 field guns and
213 heavy cannon, as well as ninety
one field guns and fifty-nine heavy
cannon slightly injured but capable of
being repaired and used again in a
short time.
To these imposing figures of artil-
lery losses caused by the French gun
ners the same German army in the
same period of time had the mortifi-
cation of adding an almost equally
large number of losses brought about
by the wearing out or bursting of
guns. In this way seventy-three field
guns and twenty-one heavy cannon
were destroyed; 164 field guns and
129 heavy guns seriously damaged
and lit field guns and ninety lone
heavy guns slightly disabled.
The memorandum was issued to the
German army by General Ludendorf
because his artillerys officers had
argued repeatedly in favor of making
counter battery work. secondary to
attacks on infantry and communica-
tons. They asserted the French ar
ti.lery directed their guns more gen.
orally against the German infantry
than against the artillery batteries.
The figures collated by the German
general demonstrate the falsity of
this argument and show the French
determination to prevent the German
guns, as far as possible, from being
used against the French infantry and
lines of communication and supply,
and that they do this successfully.
General Ludendorff in concluding
his memorandum points out that by
counter battery work not only is the
enemy's artillery destroyed or put out
of action, but the opponent is forced
to a considerable extent to turn his
attention away from the doings of the
enemy's infantry which is thus able
to maneuver with greater ease.

MAKE A LITTLE MEAT
GO A LONG WAY
Gu. S. Food Administration

Use Savory Stews and Meat Pies
Do you know how good they are !?
They may be so varied that you can
have a different one every day in the
week, and all of them delicious. 1t
needs only small piece of meat to
give flavor to hearty dish.
Don't think that you must eat a
lot of meat to be strong. Meat is
good to help build up the body, but so
arc many other foods.
In these dishes part of your build
ing material comes from the more ex-
peQsive meat and part from the
cheaper peas, beans, hominy and bar
ley. The little meat with the vege-
tables and cereals will give your body
what it needs.
Sayory Stews
Try them. They can be a whole
meal and nutritious one. These
recipes serve five people.
Here is an English stew that is es-
pecially good:
Hot Pot or Mutton and Barley: 1
pound mutton, u cup pearled barley,
tablespoon salt, potatoes, onions,
celery tops or other seasoning herbs.
Cut the mutton in small pieces, and
brown with the onion in fat cut from
meat. This will help make the meat
tender and improves the flavor. Pour
this into covered saucepan. Add two
quarts water and the barley. Simmer
for 11s hours. Then ad dthe potatoes
cut in quarters, seasoning herbs, and
seasoning, and cook one-half hour
longer.
Beef Stew
pound beef, A potatoes cut in
quarters, II peck peas or can, cup
carrots cut up small, teaspoon salt.
Cut the meat in small pieces and
brown in the fat from the meat. Sim
mer In two quarts of water for one
hour. If canned peas are used, add
them 10 minutes before serving. Serve
when potatoes are done.
Different Stews
Here is the way you can change the
stews to make them different and to
suit the season:
l. The meat. This may be any
kind and more or less than a pound
may be used. Use the cheap cuts, the
flank, rump, neck or brisket. The long,
slow cooking makes them tender.
Game and poultry are good.
2. Potatoes and barley may be
used or barley alone. or rice, hominy
or macaroni.
8. Vegetables. Carrots, turnips,
onions, peas, beans, cabbage, toma-
toes are good, canned or fresh. Use
one or more OF these, as you wish.
4. Parsley, celery tops, onion tops,
seasoning herbs or chopped sweet
peppers add to the flavor.
5. Many left-overs may be used
