NoRWAYs SHIPS.

When Norway seBds representatives to this country it has every reason to believe that they will be shown all the consideration to which they are entitled, that their communications will be given respectful attention and tha. action in accordance with the merits of their appeals will be taken. Thus 1t is to be expected that those who come here as the representatives of Norwegian companies which had ordered vessels built in this country and which have been comn1andeered by the shipping board for war service will be able to adjust their claims in a satisfactory manner. There is no reason to suppose that this govern nent will dodge it's obligations in any way whatsoever any more than il would attempt to exceed it's rig IS, or tha. it would sanction a Aggression from international law by other na- lions.
 It appears that when these Norwe- gan vessels were ordered they were paid for and the complaint now is .,. --;. ;' t'r- -T-7---5 that this coun-

SHOULD BE EIREPRooE

The whole state has learned with serious regret of the loss of life and propar-y in connection wich the fire at the state irgane hospital at Md dletown. It was most unfortunate, however, that any deaths should have resulted in that connection and yet In view of tine fact that the ward was filled with patients it is none the less q cause for surprise that there was not d greater loss, for there is always the char.e of the toll beins large under such circumstances. .
 That the building will be recon structed as soon as possible Is to be anticipated. The accommodations at that institution have been. none toe large in the past whereas the number of insane who must be carel fR. in such hospitals is growing each year Thus it Is not so much d question as tp whether the ward will be recon. structed. for that is necessity. but what kind of a building will replace the one which has been destroyed.
 In view of the lesson which stands scht so plainly in connection with ths Aiddletown fire, it seems as if ther. ought to be no hesitancy in directinr ehe construction of a fireproof struc. ture or structures to furnish the ac. commodations which have been eIinni mated by the fire. The safety of ths patients must be given full consider. alton, for while it is not often tha' such an institution is visited by fire when 1t does occur serious conse. quences are likely to follow and : Building that is iireproof would elimi , nate the danger which always exist. in those which are intiammable.

The adjuration and response have in them a profound note of hope and ex- altation. The significance is that on- ly the lifted heart, held high in faith and courage, can bear the weight of guilt and christening, which would otherwise bring fear and discourage ment. Also. the heart is lifted in reverence toward the great Power Ito Whom alone belong the issues of life and death."
 Now, in this terrible hour of des- tiny, when all the hope of the world depends on the bloody struggle and unstinting sacrifice of the people who see and know the truth, and are will has come for the "Sursum corda." Only the lifted heart can lift the load and believe steadfastly in the ulti- mate triumph of right over wrong; only the lifted heart can endure unto the end" The time is dark with doubt and terror; sometimes the bal ance seems almost even, as the strife rocks back and forth. Then come the voices that say, eve can never win There must be a compromise" And the faith ofs men is assailed by the dreadful outcry for peace,-the de- mand for the treasure before it has been earned by the last and utmost effort
 It has been we'll said that this wal will be won by the people whose mor- ale remains unshaken. The spirit 1 that fails and gives way before evil as in Russia, is the deadliest menace among all the foes that assail Us, both within and without Faith, and faith only, will remove this mountain ot | A%@x- fcs E. manifested-with whatever prayer oi song or act-it is your greatest ele- l ment of strength on the rough road l to victory. :.

A move which deserves much com mendation is that which has been made by the industrial survey. com mittee of the State Council of Defense in gathering information regarding the present possibilities of correcting all fire apparatus with the, hydrants of neighboring towns.

 try has not done the same thing in communicating them, but has appar- entity paid for those which it has taken and will pay for others as soon as they are ready for use. The Norwe- gians have use undoubtedly for the money which they have tied up, but that was nothing for which this coun- try was responsible. That this will be adjusted without difficulty is to be anticipated. but what is Norway do- ing in the meantime regarding the 700 or more ships which have been de stroyed by Germany together with thousands of lives? If Norway would but reflect 1t must realize that it is the action of Germany which has not only greatly decreased it's large ton mage but which has made it necessary to cemnandeer the vessels of that country under construction here.

A very charming Chippendale bed room in one of England's great houses has the four-post bedstead with the Chinese Chippenda1e chintz draperies. It is fiarked on one side by a tallhoy, the top decorated with the broken pediment At the foot of the bedstead is what was then called dressing ta- ble, but which is really just small table with six drawers, three above the other three.
 There are two upholstered chairs wing chair and leather chair, for you will remember that it was about this time that the upholstered chair came into being - one slatbaek straight chair and one spindle back. Above a serpentine front chest oi drawers there is large mirror show ing classical influence. There is 8 littleshaving stand in one corner, and over near a window stands large toilet mirror. Needless to say, the room is charming.

SAVE HE WHEAr,

It is situation which cannot be overlooked when Food Administrator Hoover tells, the, people of this. ceun- try that the countries which are fight ing with this nation against the cen trai powers Of Europe need from 75,- ooo,ooo to s0,eo0,00e bushels :, of our wheat. This need is in addition te what has already been furnished them At the same time he asks the people of the United States to make greater saving in this direction in order that these requirements can be met, for il is to be remembered that it is through the furnishing. of supplies that this country is to render it's greatest as sistance at the present time, however much it is preparing to do in addi- tion later on.

. It cannot help being felt that in view of the great sacrifice which is being made by the young men of the United States, who are giving their all for the sake of their country, that those at home and those for whom they are fighting or are preparing to fight should be anxious to do their part to see that the soldiers are pro- vided with wholesome recreation, with proper quarters where they can con- gregate during hours when they are of duty for social purposes and where they can find the accommodations for reading, writing and being entertained. As far as possible everything should be CNone to brighten the lives of the soldiers at the cantonments and al the 9ther army camps across the wa ter.
 This work is being undertaken foI the most part by organizations which have been sanctioned by the govern ment without receiving financial as- sistance from the government.
 This week the local council of the Knights of Columbus, which order is working hand in hand with the Y. NJ C. A. and the Y. NJ. H. A.. under fed eral endorsement in extending this help. opens it's campaign for raising its quota of the s10,0O0, 900 which it i. hoped to secure throughout the coun- try. The work which is to be done by the funds received will be for tht benefit of all the soldiers without re. ssriction. It is work in behalf of tn: American army at home and abroad and 1t is to be anticipated that thost appealed to will enter into the spiri of the effort with the same enthusiasm as those who are doing the soliciting and not only help reach the goal bu push the fund far oyer the ton.

CARVING CHICKEN.

A famous French chef lays down the following laws for carving roast chicken:
 Lay the chicken on it's side. Stick your fork into the leg and lift it up, meanwhile holding down firmly the rest of the chicken. Cut through the joint on the back; pressing the joint between the leg and second joint, cut through.
 Stick your fork into the wing So as not to interfere with the knife; cut through the joint and loosen the meat surrounding it; pull down with the fork and press firmly on the carcaay with the knife Do all this carefully and you can pull all the meat from the breast with the wing.
 Now cut each breast crosswjse in half. Turn the chicken over ah1 carve the other side.
