Washington, Nov. 23.-Giving the
necessity of replenishing his own per

Newspaper men late yesterday.
i Regardless of the appointment to
the Treasury post, il is considered

great changein the future fiscal poll

and the attitude of McAdoo's success

More Sheep Needed.

That mutton and wool production in
this country can be increased greatly
admits of no doubt. This can be ac-
complished by developing sheep hus-
bandry on farms, especially in the
Eastern and Southern states. Steps
should be taken in the East and South
to do away with the sheep-killing dog
menace by state or local action. Large
results can be secured by improving
methods of breeding and management
on the range; by securing the restock-
ing of improved farm lands with
sheep; by the larger use Of forage
crops and pastures; by encouraging
sheep and lamb clubs; by the elimina-
ton Of parasites; by protection
against losses from predatory AMI
mails; and by having lambs ready for
market at from 70 to 80 pounds
weight, thereby requiring a minimum
of grain to finish them and making
possible the maintenance Of larger
breeding flockS.

First impressions of the new fall
and easy lines in the mind before the
eye begins to sum up all the details
that pronounce them the creations of
this season. Dark mixtures, plain
cloths with soft finish and the attri-
butte of warmth-in their appear
ance at least-in browns, blues, greens
and grays, appear popular in the
showings in the same order as they are
mentioned here. Brown, in several
warm and several dark shades has
been chosen for street and for formal
suits, with such persistence that 1t may
displace navy blue which has had
phenomenal vogue. Browns and mix
lures in brown and gray seem some
how to associate themselves in the
mind with khaki and in few Of the
new models the styles are very dis
tinctly of military origin.
In ordinary street suits many Of the
new coats are semiftting, with loose,
narrow belt of the fabric, defining
high waistline. There are some new
double-breasted models in which the
lapped-over fronts are trimmed away
in several novel ways. On both single
and double-breasted styles necks are
high and coats button UP to the top
of tbA collar which is more than tall
enough to reach the chin. Sometimes
the collars are of the turnover variety,
but Oftener they are straight and
wrinkle when they are buttoned up
Pose about the throat
Patch pockets and medium-sized
bone buttons, that match the cloth in
the suit in color, appear with such
frequency that they may be considered
features of the new styles. Collars
are not always of the same material
as the coat, for velvet and fur are used
in many Of them.

college girl who must now be Outfltted

Latin and Hebrew.

For a parallel to Hebrew, which, af-
ter having been numbered so very long
among the dead languages, is becOm-
ing today again living, spoken
tongue, we must turn to Latin,
though the analogy is not perfect, If
decidedly romantic, in either case.
Through all the dreadful days of bar
barism in Europe the Roman Catholic
church helped to preserve the Latin
language from oblivion. When Greek
had all but perished from the ken of
mankind at large, when even Homer
had almost been forgotten, the Ian
guage of the Caesars still rendered in
ternational communication possible.

EAT FRESH FISH
and SAVE MEATS
Sport of Fishing May Be Made to
Serve Nations Food Needs
and Give Exercise.
MUCH Grain IS CONSERVED
Seas, Lakes, Rivers and Ponds Offer
Practically Unlimited Quantities
Of Fish Living on Food of No
Use % Man.

Every pound Of beef, veal, mutton
or pork that goes on the table repre-
sents a consumption of many pounds
Of corn or other valuable grain fed to
the cattle, sheep or hogs from which
the meat was taken. The more of
these red meats you eat the more
cereals you are taking out of the sup
ply that is so greatly needed for the
nations war needs at this time. To
a large extent, too, these statements
apply to all kinds Of poultry. The one
kind Of meat, the production of which
does not require the consumption of
other human foods, is fish. The seas,
lakes, rivers and ponds of this coun-
try offer practically unlimited quanti-
ties of fish that live on food which is
Of no use to man. When you eat fish
you save meat and save grain, both
of which your government asks you
to conserve.
Ordinarily it is possible to secure
good, fresh fish at the meat market,
but whether justly or not, fresh fish
is always more or less under suspicion
in the meat markets Of cities and
towns that are distant from the sea
coast or the lakes. The suspicion in
most cases is not justified, but even
if it were it would not follow that peO-
pie Of inland towns and cities must
necessarily refrain from eating fresh
fish.
Fish for Family Use.
There are a large number Of streams
and ponds from which one may take
the fish needed for family consump-
ton, and there should be very many
more such ponds. A fish pond does
not necessarily take up much space
and need not be confined to large
places. Practically all country fami-
lies, and very many suburban fami-
lies, could have, without any great
difficulty, fish pond or pool in which
enough fish could be grown at mini
mum expense to supply the table and
to save large quantities of other meats
and cereals.
There is a great deal Of pleasure
and recreation, too, in catching the
fish. And there is a decided satiSfac-
ton in knowing that the fish you eat
have been taken from your own pond
or stream within very short time
before being prepared for the table.
The United States department Of ag-
riculture has long urged more gen
eral adoption of the family fish pond,
and it points out the exceptional need
for such practice at this time. 1t
would be a genuine national service
If several times more people than now
indulge in fishing for sport or other
wise would, by devoting a little of
their spare time to it, take enough
fish from stream or pond to place this
excellent food on the table several
times oftener than is now the general
practice.
The hour or two that every man
should devote to some form Of recrea-
ton, If intelligently applied to fishing,
would afford the same rest and re-
iuyenation that is to be had from nom
productive sports and would, at the
same time, be not only domestic but
O. public economy.
There Is another source Of meat
The Benson signal., 1918-08-17

supply native to ponds and streams Of
which much fewer people avail them
selves than of fish. That is frogs.
There is no more delicious meat than
frog legs. Yet with the exception of
q few hotels widely scattered along
the lakes and a few of the streams,
frog legs are rarely served. Around
practically every pond Of any consid-
cradle size there are enough frogs If
properly utilized to furnish an Occa-
sional meal and to furnish a very fine
sport in shooting or otherwise taking.
More attention to fish and frogs
would result in the saving Of much
food and would be Of personal benefit
to those who might become interested
in it.

Fur Used Less,

In the new suits for fall the absence
Of fur trimmings is notable. This is
partly on account Of the very high
prices of furs now and partly because
women are at present wearing all
sorts of long stoles, capes and cOatees
of fur over their suits and dresses. It
is thought this fad will carry into the
coming fall and winter, and now in
these days of thought for conservation
of materials, all these little items are
considered by the manufacturers.

Cross chapters for help in any situa.
ton. The help always is confidential.
There will be no publicity.
Camp service has grown to be one
of the largest phases of Red Cross
work.
To indicate the volume of this work
it may be stated that up to April 80,
1918, the Red Cross had distributed
1,822,906 sweaters, 641971 mufflers,
623,972 wristlets, 454,569 helmets,
1892 ,352 pairs of socks.
The work for the families of enlisted
men by the home service department
has been equally impressive. To June
Is service had been given in some
form to 1902 families and $2,054, 1927
had been expended in this relief work.
There are now 2O,696 home service
workers in the United States under
Red Cross supervision.
Then there is the canteen service
with more than 700 units ready to meet
troop trains to give refreshments to
the men, or to take care of those who
become sick en- route.
The convalescent houses are nearing
completion in all camps to afford en-
listed men a bright, cheerful environ
ment for their hours Of cOnvalescence.
Provision is made for entertainment
and social diversions, which are pow
erful aids in the cOnvalescent stage.
The communication service of the
Red Cross keeps families Of enlisted
men informed Of their welfare both
here and abroad, if the men are sick,
wounded or captured and unable to
keep up correspondence.
