DESTROYER HARD TO BEAT
Fierce Wasp of the Sea Is Slim Built,
Loose, Timber and De-
structive.

The destroyer people have great
faith in the durability of their little
ships. They are slim built and not
much thicker in the plates than seven
pages Of the Sunday paper, but maybe
that is their safety. There is no get
ting a fair wallop at them. They
evade the issue. One man compared
them to a hot-water bottle. Try to
swat a loaded hot-water bottle. What
happens? When you poke it in one
place doesn't it come bullying out in
another to make up for it? Sure it
does, writes James P. Connolly in Col
lier'S.
How do you account for the de-
stroyer which had her stern cut off so
that the men in the after compartment
leaned out and chinned themselves up
to the deck from the inside? And how
do you account for the way they come
bouncing along at better than twenty
knots in a gale of wind and a rough
sea and nothing happening to them?
Get shook up-yes, but they come
home, don't they? They sure do. May
be it's the way they're thrown to-
gether-loOSe and timber.
Whatever it is, they are dashing in
and out of here on their job of convoy
ing merchant ships and hunting u
boats. They expect to get their bumps,
and they do; but so long as they get
an even break they are not kicking.
The charthouse gang on the 343 say
they are satisfied that they got an
even break. (The 343 was cut in
halves by torpedo and made port.)
They are sticking a new stern on the
343. When they get it well glued on
she is going out again.
Maybe the same U-boat-you can't
always tell, some people have luck
maybe that same U-boat will come
drifting her way again. And If they
see her first-oh, boy!

J. w. DoRRIs, PIONEER MERcH-
ANT ASSUMES BIG TASK WITH
FOOD FORCES

]. w. Doris, pioneer merchant Of
Arizona, having sold out his extensive
grocery business in Phoenix for the
purpose of entering war work. has &C
cepted the post of state merchants
representative with the Federal Food
Administration for Arizona.
Mr.. Doris, on account of his thirty
years experience in the grocery bust
ness, is regarded as valuable acqui-
sition to the staff. He has entered
upon his new duties at the state head
quarters at Flagstaff with a whole
hearted ambition, he says, to aid
merchants Of the state in solving
many perplexing problems which are
continually arising in connection with
the rulings of the Food Administra-
ton.

Burglars Dread a Noise.

"Noise is the greatest enemy of the
burglar and is what he most fears.
Bear that in mind if you believe a
thief has entered your home"
So says Frank McCarrick, ieuten-
ant in Manhattan's downtown detec-
tive headquarters, whose long years
in the police department give weight
to his statements.
"The best of alarms in q household"
he continued, sis a glass or chinaware
pitcher or similar vessel. Slam it
through the window and it's crash
above will be followed by another as
the missile falls to the street or the
areaway below.
"Never grapple with a midnight
prowler, for he is prepared for such
eventualities and has it on you. Cen
orally no qualm of conscience would
come between him and murder if there
was danger of his being caught"

BEST LOVED ENGLISH POET
Thomas Hood Made His Reputation as
Humorist-Wrote Clever
Verse.

Thomas Hood was probably one OF
the best loved of the English poets and
humorists, though often classed among
the 'minor English poets." But every
one knows his "Song of the Shirt
which brought out forcibly, though
POLITICALLY, the wasted life and early
death of the overworked women, the
unfortunates of the poorer classes. His
Bridge of Sighs'' is equally effective
These are named as his best works
yet his reputation was made as a hui
mOrist. He was the son of a book
seller, born in London. His father died
when he was young and his mother
moved to Islington, where Thomas
studied under delightful old vicar
He tried to become a clerk, but such
work disagreed with him-so much so
indeed, that he had to go to the coun
try to recuperate. While away he be
gan contributing light humorous
sketches to magazines and papers, and
after his return to his beloved Londor
he was made subeditor Of the London
Magazine.
This position brought him in contact
with all the brilliant men of his time
DeQuincy, Charles Lamb and Others
Later he started the Comic Annual, in
which he caricatured the people and
events of the day-satire done so deli
cately and cleverly that the events he
made fun of will live solely because he
made them of Importance.
The last of his life was spent on a
sick bed, and it was during this period
that he wrote his two famous serious
poems above mentioned.

Etiquette in Mexico.

Travellers through Mexico report
many peculiar customs which reflect
the temperament of the people. Some
Of these are founded upon supersti-
lions hundreds of years old while 9TH
ers date from more recent days. There
is prevailing belief in the country
that there is bad luck in a sequence
of threes and wherever possible the
combination of three is avoided. This
is shown very often to persons strange
to the land in the lighting of Gig
arctic.
In the United States one often sees
three men light their pill from one
match. 1t would be a gross insult
in Mexico to offer a man a light from
a match that had already started two
cigarettes going. Instead one must
blow out the match and give him a
light from the ignited coffin nail.

Respect for Speed.

Human respect for speed depends
chiefly upon the method of locomotion
that is employed. Human legs are one
thing, bicycle is another, an automo-
bile is another, and railroad train is
another, while an airplane is "still
something else again." All these have
their measures of supremacy as estab-
lished by the records, but in speaking
Of speed in an abstract sense "a mile
a minute" will probably never lose its
rhetorical force. That rate is about as
fast as any rational human being
wants to move when he is on the level
of mundane things. For him it repre-
sents the acme Of speed and always
will. Flying, of course, is another mat
ter. That gives a man a sense of re-
moteness which makes the speed seem
less terrific.

SUMMARY ACTION TAKEN TO
STOP SUGAR LEAKAGE ACROSS
LINE TO MEXICO

Acting under instructions from the
federal food administrator for Ari-
IONA, county food administrators and
their deputies located on the Mexican
border are taking steps to prevent
the expectation of sugar into Mexico
Heretofore customs officials have
allowed the expectation of sugar in
five pound lots. The United States
Food Administration has now abro-
gated this rule by directing the fed
eral food administrator for Arizona to
prevent this practice.
Large quantities of sugar are said
to have been purchased at 10 cents a
pound on American soil to be carried
across the border and disposed of at
from II to rs cents a pound.

Froqs That Have Hair.

"Finer than frog hair" has long been
slang method of expressing the SUI
perlative degree. Doubtless no one
ever gave it a thought whether frogs
have. hair or not. Probably no one
ever realized they did until Prof. G.
A. Boulenger discovered in the Ger
man Congo frogs that had growing
upon their bodies either hair or very
good imitation of it. 1t has since de-
veloped that anatomically it is not
hair, in the sense In which that term
applies to mammals. Our own hair is
akin to finger nails; it is a horny
growth, whereas the "hair" on the
African frogs is an abnormal devel-
opment of the tubercles that appear
on the skin of the ordinary frog. The
ordinary person, however, who places
appearance above origin. will doubtless
call it "hair."

MRS. FRANK CREASEY SENDS IN
NEAR-WHEATLEss BREAD
RECIPE.
TRY THISONYOUR RANGE
POTATOES, OATMEAL FLOUR AND
BARLEY FLOUR lNGRE-
DENTS.

Mrs. Frank Creasey of Bisbee was
awarded the prize of $25 offered by

Into this put one teaspoonful OF salt
and one teaspoonful of sugar; beat
well. On top of this mixture put one
big handful of dry flour, then pour
on this the hot potato water; beat
this we'll until it is like hot cake bat
ter; set away to cool. When luke
warm, add one yeast cake preferably
Yeast Foam which has been soaked
in warm water. Stir well and put in
q warm place to rise.
INGREDIENTS: 1 quart mashed
potatoes, 2 cups oatmeal flour, 1 quart
barley flour, l cup wheat flour, tea
spoonful sugar, 1 tablespoonful salt, 1
teaspoonful Cottolene.
METHOD: Start your bread at

ents in large mixing pan. Boil well

Save potato water and when cool pour
on the warm mashed potatoes and
mix well. Pour yeast mixture into

tatoes; mix thoroughly by beating

sponge any thicker than cake batter
Set away to rise In the morning

mixed dry. Knead stiff until the
dough does not stick 10 board or

JULY SUGAR ALLOTMENT,

The sugar division of the Food Ad.

pounds of sugar for July for the state
of Arizona. This allowance is far be-

but barely suffice if the most rigid
economy is practiced.
