S1-A-DAY MENU
PROPOSED HERE

District Food Administrator wilson's
campaign against the high price Of food
in Washington restaurants today was
carried into the final stages by the
discussion Of a special 81 a day menu
with the lunch room committee and
local restaurateurs.
During the conference II was sug-
gested that the dinner. includin9 meat,
should cost 6 ceHts: breakfast, Is cents.
and luncheon. % cents. The breakfast
menu tentatively discussed provides for
an egg. stewed fruit, and a beverage.
These standardiZe menus will offer
an excellent and wholesome variety OF
food to Washingtonians and at the
same time tend to reduce prices ma
terially." said Mr.. Wilson today. RES
taurant owners say that high prices are
caused to great degree by the neces-
sity Of keeping special selections of
food ready for the chance customer.
With the standard menus this objection
will be eliminated and prices reduced.

LIBERTY MOTOR
SATISFIES ALLIES

Out Of the maze Of Congressional
and other official Investigations the
Liberty motor has emerged with
clean slate and has already flown its
way into the good graces of the
allied forces.
Little real criticism Of the motor
iself has been heard for a long time.
Despite the somewhat unsatisfactory
condition of the aircraft industry, as
disclosed by the Senate report, the
Liberty motor has come In for little
blame.
Long Held Remarkable.
Admirers of the motor who have
eontended from the first that 1t was
one OF the most remarkable pieces OF
mechanism ever produced in America
have now adopted the 'T-told-you-so"
attitude, as new stories of the motors
prowess come from the western front.
The latest story tells Of group of
American aviators, using planes
equipped with Liberty motors, out
speeding their German rivals
Long ago the allies declared the
motor to be q most valuable contribu-
eaon on Americas part. Great Brit
aims Endorsement was given weeks
ago after the motor had been thor
oughly tested.
The French have the same high
opinion, of it.
Testifying before the Senate com
mittee, Edouard de Billy, acting high
French commissioner. said:
You can never make too many OF
them. The Liberty motor is 80 much
appreciated that II is asked for and
demanded by the French aviation au-
Ehorities and the Italian authorities.
Best-Known Motor.
at IL now one of the best-known
motors which has been produced. II
g the finest achievement which has
been accomplished by the American
saircraft administration. and we are
Ill very strongly impressed by It.
The praise that would give the
liberty motor has already been given
BY all the French officers and the
aviation section Of the French army
O. now asking . great many Of these
motors. 1t Is q very rapidly climbing

suits"

 I had been used to a Colt gun. but was able, of course, to load and fire the one Lewis which we had left. We carried on until the next after noon under awful shell fire. We were expecting a counter attack. Five of us were on sentry duty, watching. Along came high explosive and kill ed three of our bunch, and wounded me. The other three were never scratched until they were relieved.
 After twelve or thirteen hours we were relieved. I was able to walk, but that was all There was nothing to do but get over, and make a run for it. I nearly collapsed, but here am to tell the tale.

What is true of corn here is likewise true of it in Argentina, which country expects to have large amounts to export this year.
 Not little concern was manifested here over the threatened lack of seed. but if care has been exercised in the selection of the seed and it is a fact that the acreage planted to corn will practically equal that of last year everything appears to be moving as 1t should and there certainly could not be any better time for bumper crops than during the present year.

 "I was young and strict in my ideas and 1 recall passionatiy insisting that no gentleman would be betrayed into shouting that word. no matter what the pfovecati6n-whil Arthur insisted just as violently that when 8 man is attacked from the rear by an unknown animal which first scared him to death by grabbing at his spinal column and and ends by scalping him. he has a perfect right to say anything.
 we prolonged our argument for some time and when we finally sre- membered to rescue the toupee from Polly there wasn't any toupee. because she had shredded 1t all up with her vigorous c1aws-6Tld Arthur couldn't wear his hat every minute of the, day, and so the town had to know his hor- rible secret; as if took three days to get a new head covering from the metropolis.
 Arthur decided right there that he had been mistaken in thinking me the girl for hin-and he married widow the following year. He always took her riding up and down my street too, each time she got new dress or hat.
 And when Henry began calling around he never came that Polly didn't burst out with Arthur's whistle which he had used to herald his approach and as Henry was familiar with the whistle he thought l sieked Polly on in order to tease him, and he has since told me he came very near falling in l love with my pet enemy just for 1 revenge on me However, Henry and 1 were safely engaged before Polly took to saying in suggestive, conver- sational voice.

Dominican oil Prospects Good.

Renewed interest is being shown in the oil possibilities of the Dominican Republic writes Consul Clement s. Ed wards, Santo Domingo. Representatives and engineers of an American corpora tion are at present on the ground. The region. about Azua, on the south shore about so miles west of the capital. is the scene of this renewed activity. That thefe is oil in this locality does not appear to admit of doubt. Its pre- sence is shown not only by the see pages, but by other indications as well. Ten or 12 years ago an effort was made to develop this region, and drill ing was done to a depth of about 1000 feet but was abandoned owing to the fact that the sea water encountered presented a difficulty which could not then be overcome. From this aband- oned well-which. once each A hours, continues to send a volume oil some 50 feet into the air comes another encouraging indication-that is, the purpose of the new effort to continue drilling on this site in the belief that by going to a greater depth and by overcoming the water the reservoir Of oil may be reached.
