THE AMERICAN MARINE

1-q-1-1-n-4-14-1-4-1-4-4-4
Wherever they be, on land or sea, when
the voice of duty calls,
They're alert and true to dare and do;
no peril our lads appals.
With true Yankee grit they will do their
"bit,' through stormiest battle scenes.
And the Teuton shell that was made In
hell has no terror for our Marines.
Away in the front where the battles
brunt is winnowing men Ike chair
American lads, the sons Of their dads,
keep fighting right on and laugh!
Oh, they've hearts of steel, no fear do
they feel for the Teuton's fiery
Screens
Or his poison guns. and they'll get the
Huns, for they are our own Ma
rines!
Then, here's to the boys, Americas joys,
to our gallant lads in France!
To the Stars and Stripes, the immortal
types Of Democracy's advance!
To the men who know how to meet the
foe and who show what courage
means!
Uncle Sam is proud Of that fearless
crowd, the magnificent Marines!

Tin Cans to Aid In
Winning War
Garbage. Too, VIII Assist. But Faacy
Articles Not Deemed Necessary
by US.

Jade carving, lacquered shrines and
carved wood jewel boxes will not help
win the war. in the opinion of the
American government. but tin cans
and garbage will.
In its steady progress toward elm
nation of the great American waste,
the government has put the three for
mer items on the restricted imports
list. The latter items are being looked
after by other departments of the gov
eminent.
Tennis rackets, tennis, golf, base,
ping-pong and bowling balls; almond
flour used in cosmetics; metal vases
and similar luxuries also are on a
newly issued restricted imports list.
The department Of agriculture an
nounces that if you do not throw away
your tin cans, but save them to can
the kaiser, you may make some money.
If you gather 1000 or 5000 of them,
free from rust, you may get $12 for
them, according to quotations fur
nished by smelter.
So worried has the government be-
come about the sinful waste of gar
bage In this country that the food adj
ministration has issued an appeal to
the housekeeper, saying:
some ton Of garbage contains:
Sufficient gylcerine for IA 75-milli-
meter shells.
Sufficient fatty acid for manufac-
ture of 100 12-ounce cakes of soap /;
sufficient fertilizer elements to grow
eight bushels of wheat; a score Of
other materials valuable In munitions
making.
eff used as hog feed it will produce:
zone hundred pounds Of good, firm,
first-quality pork.
Scan you afford to destroy these val
liable products when your government
needs them to help win the war?
"Put less in your garbage pail and
take more out. But what must go in
should be kept separate from other
household refuse so it can be used.
Remember Garbage Is valuable.

An Important Difference.

The gasoline situation in this coun-
try is not to be compared with that in
Europe. England and France are al
most entirely dependent upon imports
of petroleum products and the ability
to import is limited by lack of ships.
1t is for this reason that the use Of
motorcars for private use has had to
be suspended except for the most ur-
gent requirements. America, on the
contrary, is the worlds largest oil
producing country and is unable to ex-
port more than one-quarter of its gaso-
line production. To the extent that
gasoline, kerosene and fuel oil are used
for power purposes the supply Of coal
is conserved.

knowledge, Without Love of
Nature Does Not Stick, Says
an Authority on the Subject.

"Once started in pursuit of nature
lore, we are pretty sure to keep on"
says John Burroughs in the Century
Magazine. when people ask me,
How shall we teach our children to
love natureT I reply: DO not try to
teach them at all. Just turn them
loose in the country and trust to luck
1t is time enough to answer children's
questions when they are interested
enough to ask them. knowledge with
out love does not stick; but if love
comes first, knowledge is pretty sure
to follow. / do not know how l first
got my own love for nature, but sup
pose it was because I was born and
passed my youth on the farm, and re-
acted spontaneously to the natural OBJ
jects about me. 1 felt certain pri-
vacy and kinship with the woods and
fields and streams long before the nat
uralist awoke to .self-conSciOusnes
within me. A feeling of companion
ship with nature came long prior to
any conscious desire for accurate and
specific knowledge about her works. /
loved the flowers and the wild crea-
lures, as most healthy children do, long
before knew there was such a study
as botany or natural history. And
when I take a walk now, thoughts of
natural history play only secondary
part; l suspect it is more to battle the
spirit in natural influences than to
store the mind with natural facts. I
think know what Emerson means
when he says in his journal that a
walk in the woods is one Of the secrets
for lodging old age"

Save Sugar.
Before the war Germany, Austria
Hungary and Russia produced 81 per
cent Of the total supply of beet sugar,
about one-third Of the entire sugar
supply of the world. With the with
drawal of sugar exports of these heav-
lily producing countries it is easy to
see why the allies supply Of sugar
has shrunk. The one thing we can
do In this country Is to increase our
production and decrease our consump-
ton, to change our sugar habits until
the war is over.
In practically all dishes requiring
sugar some other sweetening may be
substituted. The sweetening power of
sirups varies somewhat, so that will
have to be taken into account. Honey
is about as sweet as sugar, but when
1t Is used the liquid in the dish will
need to be decreased. Maple strip is
sweeter than sugar and corn strip less
sweet. When substituting sirups for
sugar decrease the liquid one-fourth.
Dried fruits Of various kinds, when
added to any cereal or pudding de-
crease the amount Of sweetening
needed.
coconut Drop Cookies.
Cream half cupful of fat, add one
cupful Of corn strip, a fourth Of
cupful of sour milk with fourth Of

Mix the following ingredients in the
order given: Six tablespoonful of
fat. one-fourth of a cupful of
peanut butter, one cupful Of mo-
lasses, one-fourth cupful Of sour
milk, one-half teaspoonful Of soda, one
teaspoonful Of baking powder, and
three and one-fourth cupfuls of
buckwheat -four, or sufficient to make
a mixture stiff enough to roll. Roll,
cut and bake In a moderate oven.
Maple strip cooked with a cupful
Of sour cream until waxy, and added to
half cupful Of broken nut meats, hick.

delicious filling for cake. If frosting
is desired boil the maple strip and

GUNNER LEWIS GETS
FAME IN HUN LAND

Amsterdam, May l4.-(Corre-
spondence OF The Associated Press
The German semi-official press bu-
reau made an amusing blunder in an
account OF Baron Won Richthofen S
death which was published in all the
German newspapers. In translating
an account of his end from the Eng
llSh newspaper accounts, it stated
that the German airman was
brought down by Gunner Lewis, "
this being a careless translator's
rendering of Lewis gun
1t was not until two days later
that the German newspaper discov-
cred the mistake.
The Cologne Gazette editorial
izes: THE news report attributed
the shooting down of Won Richtho-
fen to Gunner Lewis, and a mum
Der of German newspapers have
helped the gallant gunner to wide
spread fame. To whoever the honor
OF Richthofen's defeat belongs, it
certainly is not Gunner Lewis, for
he owed the existence only to a
mistake in the translation. and the
bullet was fired by Lewis gun.
Gunner Lewis. however, will
adorn modest place in the history
of the war, where he will be able TO
converse about the dangers of too
rapid translation with General
staff, who was one of the famous
German newspaper blunders of the
war of 1870"
