PEKING. May 20.-Although captive
of Chinese bandits for fifty-two days.
George A. Kyle of Portland. Ore.
chief engineer of an American con-
struction company. returned to Picking
in good health and spirits. 'The ban
olts treated me as well as might have
been expected" he said. He was
taken prisoner on March 25.
His release was brought about
through efforts of the American lega-
tion. represented on the spot by Dr..
Hitchcock. Mr.. Kyle's immediate
chief. Both of the last named were
for weeks in Honan province working
with the governor of the province
and the military authorities of the
province in Kyle's behalf.
Catholic Mission Intermediary.
No little credit is due also to the
activity of the Catholic mission. rep
resentatives of which acted as inter-
mediaries between the authorities
and the bandits. 1t is said to have
been largely through assurances
given by priests of that mission that
the brigands were brought to accept
a guarantee offered by Gen. Chang
Shen and to surrender their captive.
The bandits evidently regarded me
as their best asset If it came TO max
ing terms with the authorities" said
Mr.. Kyle to A representative of the
Associated Press They shared
everything with me. even their beds.
The ravageS of the vermin was the
most trying of my experiences and
next to that was the never ending
night marches across country. Always
when we stopped in villages they
tried to keep my presence secret,
and often they kept me awake SO
that might not snore and give
things away x

"Only few of the younger members
of the bandits gang got roush now
and then. They used to draw their
fingers across their throats and pre-
sumably tell me in Chinese that that
was what was coming to me, though
!, of course. did not understand what
they said.
During the retreat of the bandits
one of them kept hold of my hand.

Common Wnrs of Wastlng End.

Common Ways of Wasting Fats.
To "eat fat Just to save It," Is as
unwise es It Is difficult. A small piece
of bread left on a plate can be eaten
to saw It from ending its day In the
garbage can, but fat Is not SO easily
and judiciously saved from waste.
The Food Administration points out
that all the many ways OF wasting
fat should be thoughtfuliy avoided
by the housewife.
Do you waste fat In any OF these
ways7
BY serving baked ham with largo
portions OF fat on the edge.
BY throwing away fat trimmed from
beef or other fresh meats.
BY serving large butter or marga-
rine balls to each person.
BY using heavy cream.
BY frying food In deep fat.
BY frying food when IL would be
as well or better to bake or stew IL.
By making pies or other pastries
when simpler desserts would be more
n~ourishing.
Think It over, and see that these
sins are wiped of your slate.
Sweet Picked Apples.
One and one-half quarts vinegar,

NO BLI-NDERING ON LABOR PROBLEM.

and get them in a hurry We've got TO get

I'VE can bungle the whole thing by conscriptlng
labor Or we build ships faster and faster by dis
playing cooperative attitude

he able to give On The other hand we expect TO get
a fair days work for fair days pay.

unless we blunder on the labor problem we nave ,.

is getting just consideration Our job is to see that labor
feels that way.

WHO'S skinnerf A natural question. Here is the
answer:
skinner is president OF the skinner and Eddy Ship
building Corporation-which is some corporation from
Uncle Sans point Of view
Here's why It Is some corporation:
skinner and Eddy have broken two worlds records In
speedy shipbuildng the last two months They COM
pleted and put to the nrs ship to be delivered to
Uncle Sans shipping Board in ii6 days. This was the
steamship Seattle which steamed out Of Seattle harbor
January a. after just that length Of time on the ways,
counting from the day her keel laid
The latest record-smashng accomplishment Of the
skinner concern was in the Of the steamship
Canoga, completed in ninety-three working days. The

for service March 90
