FOOD ORDERS ARE OBSERVED
Meatless and WheatIess Menu In Con.
neetion With Lord Mayors Annual
Banquet at Mansion House.

At last the gaunt figure of famine
has stalked into the Mansion House
and edited the menu of the lord may
or's banquet. There, everybody who
knows anything about English history
or about good eating, knows that the
center. the very palate. of gourmand-
ise is situated, according to London
correspondent.
The British empire is ransacked for
edibles and potables to furnish forth
this aldermanic holiday. And when
the OCCASIONS star guest, the premier,
rises to shake the pillars of the world
with his address, the guests are otter
in such a state of torpor that they
have to scan the morning papers to
find out what he really said. But war
has changed all that. When the time
for this years banquet approached,
London's sensational press began to
shout for war menu SO loudly that
his lordship had to come out and as
sure the reporters Of the meatlessnese
and wheatlessness of the coming feast.

Overcomino c.moun.oe.

An American physicist believes that
the advantages Of camoufiage-or at
least certain kinds of camoufiage-can
be overcome by an opposing army by
providing colOred glasses or screens
Of contrasting colors to use with field
glasses. When the colors Of these
screens are properly selected. uniforms
and other objects may be made to ap-
pear In contrast, instead Of in har-
mony with their surroundings, he
claims. Camoufiage as practiced in
many cases is accomplished largely
by the use Of paint, objects being
given shades that blend with the land
scape. In spite Of certain difficulties
that would arise, II Ia believed that
such efforts at concealment could be
rendered quite ineffectual by the
means stated.

MUSIC FOR THE WAR TANK
Graphaphone Records Are Gift Of
Woman; French Officer Requests
Bowling Equipment for His Men.

For the amusement of soldiers prob
ably no more unique donation has been
made than that of $50 from a woman
for graphaphone records to equip a
tank. There is something grotesQQue
about music emanating from this weird
iron caterpillar, states a trench corre-
spondent.
Other donations have not lacked an
element of the picturesque, as, for in
stance, the supplying of hospital in
Paris which was filed with African
troopers, with 700 fans. They were so
appreciated during the summer that
the hospital appealed for more. Ap
accordion was sent to fill specific
demand.
One French officer requested games
for his men. What sort? In one regi-
ment in which most of the soldiers
were fathers Of families the prefer
ence, for some reason or other, was
for bowling. The trench, 1t must seem,
does not make a bad alley If few

Then, thinking Of the tedious hours

Kitchen Soldiers.

Kitchen soldiers are the latest ex-
pertinent in practical patriotism. Good
Housekeeping, in cooperation with the
United States food administration, is
conducting the enlistment. In the
magazine appears this pledge, which
women are urged to sign:
II, the member of the household in
trusted with the handling Of food, do
hereby enlist as a kitchen soldier for
home service and pledge myself to
waste no food and to use wisely all
food purchased for this household,
knowing that by so doing l can help
conserve the foods that must be
shipped to our soldiers and our al
hes"
This Is movement for the woman
who is actually dealing in the food of
American homes. Employers and EN-.
ployees are urged to join the forces.
A soldier may be one who fights just
with her brain or one who fights by
doing with her hands the work Of
women in this crisis. She may be
one whose ancestors have lived here
for generations or she may be one
whose parents have seen wars hor-
rors pass their very door abroad,
whose brothers bear the arms of Eng
land. or France, or Italy, or Russia, or
any other allied country. Once you
have enlisted as a kitchen soldier, your
Kitchen Is your battlefield.

Pencils In japan.

An unthought-of result of the war
has been the creation of lead-pencil
Industry In Japan. In 1911 Japan i'm,
ported 65,OO0,O0O pencils, most of
which came from America and Ger.
many. But with the opening of the
European conflict German sources of
supply were cut Off and native manu-.
racturers, who had been producing
only In comparatively small quantities,
seized their opportunity and made the
most Of 1t. In 1914 Japan exported
over nine million pencils and in 1916
the number had increased to 16S,OOO.-
200. There Is strong indication. OBJ
serves n writer, that many of the mar.
kets won by the Orientas wifi be held
by them after the war, for they have
the advantage of very cheap labor.
Most Of the lead which they use is
Imported from India and this country.

Woman Horse Nurse.

In London Messrs. MacNamara, who
employ about forty woman drivers,
have put their horse hospital entirely
In charge Of women. Mrs. Parry, the
says they have thirty
to forty patients day. She and three
assistants do all cleaning, grooming,
feeding and administering Of medi-
cines prescribed by the veterinary sur
geon. The animals, she says, are
grateful and companionable, and she
has no doubt that women will want
to keep on with this work after the
war. I'VE do not baby the horses"
she says. Somehow we reform the
worst cases Of temper. and the women
can do anything they like with even
sractious. nervous and suffering
horses. The effect on the nerves of
The horses, and consequently on their

Sewing Machines In Arabl..

The sale of sewing machines in
Arabia has increased since the war
begun, owing in part to the demand
Of Red Cross organizations. A recent
shipment Of 600 American machines,
according to correspondent, will be
disposed Of as follows: One hundred
in Alden, 200 in Abyssinia. 100 in Red
Sea ports and 200 in the Persian Gulf
district. There is also an increased
demand on the part Of the natives.
Germany formerly supplied the terri
tory with cheap machines, but the
stocks Of these are low, and American
products now lead. Foot-power sew.
ing machines are in growing prefer.
ence over the hand-operated type, but
electrically-driven machines cannot be
sold, as there is no general electric
service plant in Alden. Dust and rust
are difficulties experienced in the use
Of the machines in the Arabian eli.

BOY RosBER LOST HIS NERVE
Youth Reported Alleged Visit ef Band
Il, But Later Was Induced 70 Pro.
duee Stolen JeWelry.

A thrilling story Of guns, masks and
robbery, which had stirred a country
neighborhood by its recital, melted into
the make-believe Of a yello-back novel.
once Investigators were on the job,
says the Indianapolis News. A talk
between two persons, which Is said
to have occurred behind a farmers
barn, led to the recovery Of loot in
the form Of jewelry and a confession
from boy, who reluctantly dragged
from his trousers pocket the remains
of dollar bill.
Sheriff Coffin was called in by neigh
bors after the boy, whose name. is
purposely withheld, had communicated
to persons with whom he lived that
a very dark man, wearing mask over
his face, had visited his home while
he was alone; that he had been threat
ened with shotgun and, after rifling
the house, had forced the boy to leave
with him. About a mile from the
house, the boy related, the stranger
gave him 25 cents and told him to
keep his mouth shut" A duck and
Belgian hare also were taken, the boy
declared.
When the sheriff arrived there was
consultation behind the barn. and
when it had been concluded the boy
dug the jewelry out of the ground,
told his friends that he had sold the
duck at nearby grocery for some
money; that the Belgian hare escaped
while he was on his way to the gro
Gerry, and that the masked man was
the creation Of his own Imagination.
"Give him another chance" the sher-
if told the guardians of the wayward
boy. "He won't do it again."
The boy nodded confirmation.

They find that an engine can easily
be run on alcohol and that its thermal
efficiency. when SO run, Is somewhat
higher than with gasoline fuel. How.
ever, they also find that alcohol must
be far cheaper by the pound than gaso-
