STORIES OF THE WAR
rhn soIdier Gainn Aoroas.

Correspondent of The Associated Press):
 The young soldier under orders to embark for the first time who pictures to himself 8 future which will be al fighting days ana sees himself step from troopship to be rushed to battle as did the first British divisions sent to the rescue at Mons, is doomed to disappointment.
 As a matter of fact, he will spend only a small proportion of his time in the front line. and even while there, will only see actual fighting at more or less rare intervals. Life will hold a good deal of base" and "billets'' for him even in France.
 This time spent far behind the lines he will find trksome or pleasant, ac- cording to whether his temperament is eager and enterprising or the re- verse. For the great majority, how ever, billets and base camps are very pleasant. The food is excellent, work is comparatively light and amusements are plentiful.
 The Associated Press correspondent paid a visit the other day to huge artillery base camp, situated on the i French coast near some famous bath i ing beaches and within easy reach of a big city. Within the camp, which also serves for a large number of en- | gineers and some special infantry 1 units are several theatres, the canteens of the British Expeditionary Force l the lounge rooms and huts of the Young Mems Christian Association and various camp institutes" and athletic grounds. Here the soldier can have a fairly comfortable and enjoyable va cation.

 who are impatient at every days de- | lay in moving forward to the "busi-
 ness end of the line' The sergeant major soothes them with wise words: 1 Don't worry, boys" he says
 there's going to be lots of fighting in
 this war, enough for all of you and a | little to spare"
 It is the custom at this base. so far as artillery officers are concerned, tc distinguish between those who have
 not yet been up to the firing line and those who have and their baptism The former have fairly complete pro- gramme of daily drills and are kept occupied also with lectures and educa. tional courses.
 The veterans are permitted to fore
 go these trials to large extent. They have little to do but amuse themselve:
 with sports theatres, operas and the
 beach, subject only to the stipulation
 that they must always be prepared
 to move off at a few hours notice. Throughout the army in the ordinary
 course of things, the individual soldier gets a rest period at the base evr,
 two Or three months. Sometimes {

THE TELEGRAPH LINEs.

. Regardless of the fact that the president has urged upon congress the passage of the resolution providing for government control Of the telegraph, telephone. cable and radio lines of the country before adjournment is taken for a summer recess, it is indicated Ahat 1t is the belief of the senate that such action does not need to be has, Tened, or that 1t will be time enough To take up that matter after their re- 4urn to work in August. Like other Scll laid plans this one did not work Qut as expected for adjournment as glanned was upset by the action of 4he lower house, which had already Hcted in accord with the presidents Eishes and it's refusal to adjourn for q recess may force the senate to act Now instead of later.
 2 The claim is put forth that there must be no Interruption of the wire xervice of the country as long as the Ear continues That is fully recog- Hlzed and there would be no danger of such a condition but for the plans of some Of the telegraphers to organize a union and have it recognized at this time. Any such danger as that of q strike by telegraphers which, would interrupt tho telegraph service mus he overcome and that can be done by the government being given the au- thority to take control of the lines a! called for in the resolution. But any such control when authorized or ex ercised should be so limited that i will be only for the period of the wa and not forever. It is not a govern ment ownership proposition which i
 before congress at tine present time
 pr at least it ought not to be twisted
 into that.

:Shortcakes For
 WheatIess Patriots

The cali for wheat grows more and more urgent and Americans now req ize that wheat is as much a part of the real fighting programme of the country as ships and guns. It has been said that brains will win the war Thinking ahead on the wheat question has let many citizens to demand that wheat be taken over by the govern ment and held in hand to meet any shortage that may arise from subna- rne sinkings. That would be Ger rnany's method, the brains of the rul- CTS in that case would win; but Ameri- ca is depending on a democracy to Win-the brains of all her people. Hundreds Of Connecticut men and women have given up their weekly all Eowance of a. pound and half of flour, and are travelling a wheatless road to victory Many housewives are pool | ing their allowance of wheat four at l the beginning of each week and are surprised at the amount they save. We heartily recommend this plan to any who are not already following it. 1 For the housekeepers who are adont- | ing a no-wheat programme, and for those who are cutting down their al l lowance, the following recipes have 1 been worked out in the experiment | kitchens of the food administration. 1 Shortcake, with plenty of fruit, es- ! pecially if served with cream, is a very hearty dish and needs only light first course to make a complete meal. A vegetable or egg salad and glass | of milk is an excellent combination with shortcake.
 Here are some wheatless shortcake recipes, tried and tested:
 Barley Shortcake: One cup liquid four to six tablespoons fat, one table
 spoon sugar, one teaspoon salt, six teaspoons baking powder and four
 cups barley.
 Corn Flour Shortoake: One cup ot liquid. six to eight tablespoons fat one tablespoon sugar. one teaspoon salt. six teaspoons baking powder, two
 and two-thirds corn flour.
 Rice Flour Shortcake: Follow dlrec- tions for corn flour. using two and one- quarter cups rice flour instead of corr flour.
 Barley Corn Shortcaks: One cup ot liorid. six tablespoons fat, one table spoon sugar, one teaspoon salt. six tea spoons baking powder two cups bar ley flour and one and one-third cup' corn four.
 1 Barley Oats Sherteake: Follow di
 rections for barley corn four, using
 one and one-half cups rolled oat'
 ground in food chopper instead of tht corn flour.
 Corn Oats shortcake: One cup liquid
 four tablespoons fat, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon salt. six table
 spoons baking powder one and one
 third cups corn flour. one and one half cups ground rolled oats.
 For individual servings, place dougl on slightly fioured board, pat to three quarters inch thickness and cut as fo biscuit. If a large shortcake is want
 ed. place dough in well creased bis 1, cult tin and pat to desired thickness
 These shortcakes are light and ten
 der. An egg added to rice or corn f1ou makes softer dough. The slightl, ' iacid taste of barley may be overcom l lbY using one-quarter teaspoon of sod

A GERMAN TRICK.

What has the appearance of being more German propaganda in Argen-
 Ina is the petition which has been pre-
 ysnted to the Argentine congress by a
 laimber of young men of that country
 Hrming themselves patriots in which ;E is asked that steps be taken to bring about the return of the Falkland isl aids to Argentina at the end of the Yar. The Falkland islands are Brit ish property and they have been so since the year 1771 when Spain yielded the islands to Great Britain by con- yention, Along in 1920 the republic of Buenos Aires set up a claim to the islands because England had not col oniZed them, but they later withdrew, % that it does not appear that the is- lands ever were part of Argentina and a petition to bring about their re-

whan thn nails ar

When the nails are manicured every
 day five minutes is usually sufficient,
 for in this way they are in good con-
 dition, and easily kept so. The cuticle is always gently pushed back with an
 orangewood stick dipped in cream or
 cologne and shaped into an oval. The file rounds and levels the edges Pol ishing at night saves time in the morn ing. The quickest method of cleaning the nails is by using the nail brush. A little cold cream or oil pressed into the base of the nail under the flesh
 strengthens it, and incidentally im- | parts, a healthy appearance and luster.

 Do not split these cakes as they crumble easily. Pile strawberries or other fruit on srortcake. Add whipped cream, if desired, and serve. These shortcakes can be used instead of pie crust in a great variety of desserts.

Moths do not like benzine or gasoline and will avoid coming into contact with them. So a wise thing to do is to spray your upholstered furniture with either, using a small atomizer If the color has already been removed by the salt it is impossible to bring it back and redying is the only solu- ton. You cannot restore the color by either ammonia CT chloroform These will on.y result in removing more of the color.
