1t had occurred to me, for in

difficult matter to vault over the
electric fence, which was only nine
feet high. In college | know a ten
foot vault is considered a high-schooi
boys accomplishment, but there were
two great difficulties in the way os
this solution. In the first place it
would be no easy matter to get
pole of the right length, weight and
strength to serve the. purpose.
More particularly, however, the
/ pole vault idea seemed to me to be
out of the question because of the
fact that on either side of the cleo
trio fence, six feet from it, was a six
foot barbed wire barrier. To vault
safely over a nine-foot electrically
charged fence was one thing, but to
combine with it a twelve-foot broad
vault was a feat which even col
lege athlete in the pink of condition
would be apt to funk. Indeed, l
don't believe it is possible.

Some Good Recinea

Potato Balls.-Four large mealv no.
tatoes cold; mash them in a pan with
two tablesponfuls of melted butter. a
pinch of salt, little pepper. one table,
spoonful of cream, and the beaten yoIk
of one egg; rub it together for about
tive minutes or until very smooth
shape the mixture into balls about the
size of a walnut or small rolls. dip
them into an egg we'll beaten, and then
into the finest sifted bread crumbs: fry
them in boiling lard.
Carolina Way of Cooking Rice-Pick
rice over carefully, wash in two or
three waters, drain dry. and put il into
a pot of boiling water with a very lit
tie salt; allow quart of water to
half pint of rice. Boil twenty min
utes or more; drain off the water as
dry as possible, set it on a hot place
with cover off; let il dry thus for fiji
teen minutes then turn it into a deep
dish, loosen, and toss it I'D with forks
in each hand until each kernel seems
to stand alone.
Graham Biscuit-Take one quart of
water or milk, butter the size of an
egg, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, two
of bakers yeast, and a pinch of salt;
take enough white flour to use up the
water, making 1t the consistency of
batter cakes; add the rest Of the in
gradients, and as much graham flour
as can be stirred in with a spoon; set
1t away till morning; in the morning
grease pan, flour hands; take a lump
of dough the size of a large egg; roll
lightly between the palms; let them
rise twenty minutes and bake in 4
tolerably hot oven.
Simple Dessert.-Put light crackers j.
a deep dish. Pour enough warm wa
ter, or milk over them to just cove
them. When soaked. which will no
take longer than ten minutes, sprinkle
with sugar; cover with cream; garish
ounces, and then serve. 1t is recon-
mended to be good.

The Deadly Peri1-Is the Submarine
without any doubt or question, the
submarine has proved to be the dead
Hest weapon of the war. All the artil-
lery, all the infantry, all the battle
ships, all the millions of tons of explo-
sives and projectiles which the, Ger
mans have shot into the air, have not
inflicted the damage, nor cost the allies
as dear as the hundreds of submarines,
or undersea boats. They are said to
have destroyed and crippled and kept
in harbor, more than one-haIf the ocean
tonnage of the entire world. They have
cut down the effectiveness of the other
half-by the uncertainties that have at
tended the across-ocean voyages. They
have destroyed more tonnage than all
the allies, including the United States,
can rebuild in two solid years. Accord
ing to monthly statements issued by the
British admiralty, the loss of ships in
the year 1917 by German submarines
amounted to nearly several millions of
tons, which means more than ten mill
lion tons of gross weight. 1t is esti-
mated that an American army of one
million men in Europe will require for
the annual support of each man sent
over there, four tons of shipping to
carry him over and provide food and
necessary InlnSS 10 equip HlIl lOI wal
service at the front. All these things
must be produced, manufactured and
sent across in ships from this side.
This rushing business in the United
States cannot stop a minute because the
need is so great to get American men
trained and sent to the front with sup
plies of all sorts. The food must be
produced here-that will help to feed
the allies-and the submarines are ly-
ing in wait for every vessel that is
loaded and started towards the battle
front. There are said to be only 49,
100000 tons of shipping in the entire
world. America has much less than
half.
AS l see the situation, the necessity is
imperative to inaugurate a search for
been suggested heretofore. They are
the deadliest weapons of this great war.
If they can be run down, like the peo-
pie go after mad dogs in a neighbor-
hood, it seems that we would be doing
the first and most needful work in SUBJ
DUNG Germany. They have played
havoc in every venture that has been
seen or reported.
