FOR VISITOR IN THE SOUTH

Many folks have gone South to get
away from the rigors of the Northern
winter, so rather summary clothes are
now in order, even though they appear
out of place where snow is on the
ground. This straw hat is just the
thing for Southern wear, for besides
being light and dainty it is exqulsitely
beautiful. The straw is a rich maize
tone, with alternate stitching in velvet
of a contrasting color.

Careful of Cnlnr-

Black velveteen is not as good a
choice for a street frock as dark blue,
gray or brown. While gray is the most
fashionable color of the season, the ma
jority cling to blue without cavil. They
need no argument to persuade them to
wear a color that they know all about.

of flour mixed with a teaspoonful of
cinnamon, a half teaspoonful of cloves
and a t~easpoonful of soda mixed with
the potato. Dredge a fourth of a cup
of shredded citron and a cupful of
raisins with flour, using two table
%spOonfuls and mixing it with the rest.
Pour into a mold and steam three
hours. Serve with a hard sauce. A
teaspoonful Of baking powder sifted
over the fruit just before it is added
to the batter will keep it from sink
ing to the bottom of the mold. Flour
should be used as usual, however.
Apple Cracker Pudding@Crumble
six large milk crackers into a pudding
dish; pour rel these enough cold wa
ter to soak them until soft. Pare three
medium-sized apples, cut in halves, re-
move the core and put them on to stew
with a little water for ten minutes.
Pour q pint of milk over the soaked
crackers, add two beaten eggs, stir in
the apples and a half cupful of sugar.
Flavor with a t%easpoonful of lemon ex-
tract and a grating of nutmeg over the
top of the pudding. Put a teaspoon
full of butter in small bits over the top
and bake in q slow oven until firm and
brown. Serve hot.
Indian Pudding.-Scald a pint of
milk and add to it gradually a half
cupful of Indian meal, a half cupful of
molasses, a teaspoonful Of cinnamon
and a cupful of chopped suet. Cook
ten minutes, cool and add three eggs
beaten light. Turn into a creased
mold and boil five minutes. Serve with
hard sauce. This pudding may be
baked. If a light coating of flour is
sifted over the top a delicious brown
Ferust will be formed in baking. A
half cupful of raisins will be Il great
addition to this pudding.

THE CASE OF MRS. STOKES.

/ The case of Rose Pastor Stokes, who has just
| been sentenced to ten years Imprisonment In
| a federal penitentiary for violation of the
Espionage act is unique in certain respects.
Born in Russia about forty years ago, she came
with her parents to England and thence to
America where she worked as cigar maker
and contributed to Jewish newspapers in New
York City. In 1905 she married j. G. Phelps
Stokes, publicist of great wealth, deeply in
terested in church. charitable and general wei
fare movements, and socialist in theory of the
moderate type She herself is frenzied So
lcialist The jury found her guilty of wilful at
tempts to cause INSTRUMENTATION, disloyalty and
mutiny In our military and naval forces, of OBJ
structing recruiting and making false state
Iments to that end
1t is difficult to estimate truly the complex
and abnormal personality of Rose Pastor Stokes.
She had motives powerful enough to lead her
to oppose loyal and devoted husband who
had lifted her from poverty to position and
wealth and fling herself In furious revolt
against the sentiment of the nation. Her pas
sion for social justice was presumably sincere
and evidently intense; but the methods by
which she sought 1T were defiant of law and alb
horrent to millions of Americans whose desire
to lessen poverty and inequality is no less ar.
dent than her own. The course she took. IRA
tlOnal. futile and Impossible OF success, seems
to force the conclusion that she is one of those
highly neurotic persons whose mentality is so
unusual and diseased that they see the world
out of focus and the ends they seek tremendous
~ exaggerated. As such she may be classed as
a psychological defective who lives in an un.
real and fantastic world of her own creation in
which nothing is normal. Motives which rea-
sonable people would ponder and accord their
proper weight and place resistless in their
appeal to her; and she is less constrained by
her decisions than Violent phantom-fghters in
their padded cells.
1t was clearly desirable that her un-Ameri-
can activities should be brought to close. IF
ge cannot measure her by normal standards,
their is why should not pity her
and profoundly pity the high-minded man, now
a sergeant in the United States army, who made
her his WIFE

Whiskey Makers Reap Fortunes

caused raise in the retail price, bu!
prior to September /, 1917. there ap
peared no reason to expect an ad
vance in whiskey. In fact. for sever
lal years previous to 1917 whisiiey
stocks were piling up at such a rate
that distillers were much discourag
ed and steps were taken during 1916
and 1916 to curtail production.
Upon the top of this came the
project of the government to close
down distilleries to conserve grain
Gloom was thick In the wfliskey cir
cles of Kentucky. But the worst was
yet to come in the adoption by con-
gress of the national prohibition
and the victim" had settled down to
take his medicine, there began to
creep in ray of hope. 1t came in a
way that might have been expected.
but that was not except by few dis
tillers and dealers. There began i'm
mediately an accumulation on the
part Of the public which was re-
Elected by increasing Withdrawals of
whiskey from bond.
This has increased steadily and in
dications are that it will continue.
Many individuals who have been &C
customed to buying whiskey as they
need it" for family use have laid
in supply.
When the law closing distilleries
went into effect it was estimated
there was a supply which would last
for approximately two years, but at
the present rate of withdrawal, II is
estimated the supply will scarcely
last year. During March there was
Withdrawn from bond more than TO-
100000 gallons. Il is estimated that
whiskey in bond loses approximately
25 per cent in volume. 1t is put in
to the warehouse at forty-seven gal
Ions to the barrel. but reduction of
25 per cent in evaporation wodid cut
big figure in the total supply.
About September / last year. the
average price of wfiskey in bond
ranged from so to so cents. Later in
the fall the price rose to IS cents and
then to 81. At this point many dis
tillers were inclined to SELL The
price moved up easily to s1.12. Then
early this year it began to jump.
The next move was to s1.50. then
SITS and then 50. II hung around
that price for several weeks, then
jumped to $3.50. The price now is
quoted at 1906 gallon.
The consumer has been called
upon to settle the bill and pay the
profits the distillers are making.
Over the bar consumers are getting
less for their money. Whisky that
formerly was served at 100 proof is
now diluted to s. proof, and

Louisville. KY, despatch in New
York Sun: Prohibition is not fright
ening distillers in Kentucky as ii
did. The situation has not changed
nor Is there any less doubt that the
state will go dry when the wet and
dry question is put TO vote. But
here is the reason:
Eight months ago every distiller
in Kentucky was stepped in gloom
lover the prospect Of what appeared
utter ruin as the result of the en-
forced closing Of distillery plants and
the aggressive advance OF the prohi-
bitlon movement. Today practically
every big distiller or holder of whis-
key has become a millionaire by
reason of the advance in the price OF
whiskey.
About twenty men in Louisville
alone have entered the millionaire
class as the result of this situation,
which embraces an advance in the
price of whiskey since September l
of last year to the present time of
approximately $3.50 a gallon.
One Louisville firm had 10000
barrels when the rise in prices be
gan. Whether or not they have held
all of it to the present time is not
known, but IL they did they now have
profit of approximately $3,525,oOO
Another is reported to have had 50,-
900 barrels and to have been buyer
ever since the rise began. Their
profit would be s5,s75, 900. Another
old distillery in Louisville is said to
have had $4,000 barrels. This
