CALLED FLYING COWBOYS"
American Aviators in Italy Given That
Designation by Natives.

Rome, March 10 Correspondence OF
the Associated Press Flying Cow
boys" is the popular title given here, to
Uncle Sans first fighting corps of Italy.
The American aviators, officers and stu
dents located at a training camp in
southern Italy are frequent visitors in
Rome and as they all wear the United
States army's service hat, popularity
known here as the cowboy" hat, the
word cowboy has been applied to them.
That these aviators are regarded as
cowboys was illustrated by an incident
with cab driver that occurred when a
party of them were on leave in Rome
and went outside the city walls to see
the Catacombs of st. Calixtus ON the
Appian Way. When the aviators got
out of the cab near the entrance to the
burial place of the early Christians, they
asked the cab driver to wait, so he
could drive them back to the city.
But my horse can't stand the trip
back with such heavy load,' he ex-
planned. Its war time and we haven't
corn or wheat to feed him, so he's too
weak. I've got a family to support and
] must take good care of this horse. You
cowboys ought to understand how it is"
Very well, we'll buy your horse, won't
we fellows" spoke up one of the aviators
who had just been paid off. IF he's
still alive when we get back to town we
will sell him back to you"
While the proposition was made in all
seriousness the driver, thinking he was
about to be made the victim of some
wild west trick, abruptly refused and
drove off with his plug, leaving the Cow
boys" to walk back.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS PROTESTED.
Against Governments Adoption OF
Fright of Self Determination" Policy.

New York, March l3.-Dsclosure of the
German governments terms of veiled an
nexation of Russian provinces and the
threatened rupture OF negotiations with
The Bolshcviki at Brest -Litovsk fur
nished the principal topic of editorial
discussion in German newspapers of the
early part of January, which have been
received here. The spirit which led
to the subsequent strike in protest
against the government and the Ger
man delegates at Brest -Litovsk already
was evident, the Socialists and labor
leaders declaiming vehemently against
the attitude of the German negotators
as calculated to prolong the war and
pointing out the farcicality of the pre-
tended acceptance of the term fright of
elf-determination" as applied to the
border nationalities of Russia when the
Russian negotiators were required to ac-
cept as binding and as preliminary
to all negotiations votes of separation
from Russia by German made bodies
whose right to speak for popular will
was highly questionable and whose de-
cisions were not known even in Ger
many.
As TO the competence of corporations
of German landlords in the Baltic prov
ince, whose resolutions favoring a Ger
man protectorate furnished the excuse
for German demands at Brest -Litovsk,
to>speak for the people of the provinces,
Hans Worst, the Berlin Tageblatt's Rus
sian expert, pionted out that these rep
resented only a small minority of the
population and that the great bulk were
undoubtedly against separation and in
favor of entering a Russian federative
republic
Chancellor Won Hertling's avowal in
the Reichstag main committee that Ger
many was standing in the negotiations
al Brest-Litoysk upon its position of
might" was criticised by the Socialists,
who attempted To secure re-affirmation
of the Reichstag's peace resolution of
July 10. in an endeavor TO pin the gov
ernment down to an actual basis of peace
without annexation.
Prince Won Buelow, the stormy petrol
Of German politics, appeared in Berlin
January 5, at the height Of the crisis
over peace negotiations at Brest-Litovsk
but found Count Won Hertling seated
most firmly in the ehancellorship.

STORING VEGETABLES
Method of Saving Money With a Well
Stocked Vegetable Bin.

Cheaper and better vegetables can
of course be purchased in season from
those who grow them, than in winter
from the stores. Storing your own
vegetables not only saves shipping
space but it saves your winter gro
Gerry bill.
Farmers and others with large plots
of ground find it easy and safe to
store their vegetables in Out-of-dOOr
caves Often they have no furnaces
iE their cellars and stOrerOOm for
fruits and vegetables is easily set
aside there. The town dweller who
has a heating plant in his basement
and no Out-Of-dOOrs space has a prob
lem to face when it comes to storing.
1t is often possible to partition off
a corner or end of his basement which
has at least one WindOw-tWO if pos
Sible-and to use the enclosure for Il
store house. The windows are essen
tial to control the temperature of a
room that would otherwise be too
warm. Light is also important in the
vegetable store room and has to he
supplied through the window.
The room must he made tight
enough so that its temperature may
be readily kept different from that of
the rest of the cellar. 1t should be
plaStered if possible, and supplied
with a tightly fitted door.
A soil floor is the best in a room
for storing vegetables because moist
ure is necessary in such Il room, and
the soil supplies moisture in the best
possible manner. An air duct con-
structed from wood or metal should
be fitted to one of the windows so
that the cold air may enter the room
from the bottom.
Movable containers for the vegp-
tables are better than bins. 1t is de-
Sirable to provide slat racks to hold
the containers to insure a free circu-
latiOn of air and to guard against rats
and mice.
The family in a small town has
more to contend with than the cOun-
try people when it comes to storing
vegetables and fruits, but during this
year of years, the extra work will be
welcomed if it leads to the saving of
food, money and shipping space.
