13-WHEN DRYING Is NECES-
SARY
By Laura Buffum.
Domestic Science Expert Of the Ma.
tionai War. Garden Commission,
Washington, D. c.

Remember those strings of dried
apples that used to hang across
your grandmothers kitchen and
which made such delicious apple
pies and sass" during the long Win
ter months? She did this for econo-
my's sake and so as to have a va
riety Of good food for the family
liable. The American housewife has
been given an added reason why
she should dry vegetables and
fruits. She is helping every time
she saves some food in this way to
win the war. For full instructions
on canning and drying write to the
National War Garden Commission
for a free copy of the booklet
which will be sent to anyone ON re.
quest for two-cent stamp for post
lage.
There is no desire to detract from
the importance of canning, in point
| ing out at this time the urgency of
drying fruits and vegetables. Can
ming is necessary. but drying can
be practiced more generally. and
the results are more far-reaching.
The aim in drying is to- save all
surplus of garden and orchard The
method conImends itself for The fol.
lowing reasons:
i. 1t is economical. No sugar is
Required, and receptacles unfit for
canning may be used, thus saving
expense for jars or tins. Time and
lfuel are saved. The winters supply
of fruit and vegetables may be had
flor summer prices.
2. 1t saves storage space. Vege-
tables and fruits contain rs per
cent to 80 per cent water and the
removal of most of this in drying
greatly reduces bulk. Thus much
smaller storage space is required
than for fresh or canned products.
The city housekeeper can profit by
this and lay in larger stock for
next winter.
3. 1t relieves transportation. All
surplus used locally helps to relieve
the railroads: and dried food that
is shipped takes up small space in
proportion to its value and does not
need refrigeration.
4. 1t decreases waste by spoilage
Food shipped in dry condition
keeps well. There is an enormous
yearly waste Of transported fresh
fruit and vegetables.
Make your plans now for drying.

BRITISH AIRMAN,
%, HAS WON EVERY
WAR HONOR GIVEN

London, April 18.-(Correspond-
ence Of the Associated Press }
Every honor for valor that a Brit
ish officer can gain, has been won
by Captain James Byford McCud-
den, the star British airman, who
has just been awarded the Victoria
cross. His other distinctions, in
the order of their award, include
the Distinguished Service order, a
bar TO the D. S. O., the Croix de

CATTEGAT CLASH
SEEN AS ANSWER
TO HUNS TAUNTS

London, April 1S.-The British
naval success against German mine
sweepers in the Cattegat recently,
says the Daily Telegraph, is suffic-
lent answer to the Germans who
say that the British grand fleet is in
hiding.
Contrasting the British fleet in
the Cattegat with the German raids
in the straits of Dover, the Daily
Telegraph points out that while
the Germans in their bases on the
Belgian coast are only 20 miles
from the straits, the exploit in the
Cattegat was a carefully planned
operation conducted more than five
hundred miles from the nearest
point on the British coast.
such a sweep" it adds, "can
be made only by power in real con-
troll Of the sea, confronted by an
enemy who will not risk protecting
his small craft, suspecting that
such Intervention might be the pre-
Iude to a general action which he
desires to avoid The Germans had
large naval forces near the scene
on this particular Monday. They
did not send them out but on the
contrary permitted 10 trawlers to
be destroyed virtually under their
very eyes"
The enemy, it says, has gained
little new strength for use in the
North sea by the British situation,
while British superiority has been
increased since the battle of Jut-
land, by the cooperation of the
American forces and the entire
naval strength of the United States
would be available if necessary.

Robert Borden. premier, stated

also must SO organize her remain

which have been raised each by
Great Britain, France and Canada

If the Canadian army corps is

must be taken. 1t must be recog-
niZed that the position is one of eX-

Wilson Fixes
Prices of Fuel
to Railroads

Washington, April 18.-Railroads
hereafter will purchase their coal
at the full market price and cars
will be evenly distributed.
The plan was accepted after
President Wilson intervened to set
tie differences between Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield and John Shelton
Williams, director of purchases for
the railroad administration.
The fuel administration objects
to sales of coal TO railroads at
prices less than those charged
other consumers and to the system
whereby railroads give a 100 per
cent car supply to mines supplying
coal for railroad use while other
mines suffered from car shortage.
One effect of the arrangement, it
was pointed out today, will be that
all consumers will share alike in
coal distribution. In taking a
hand in the situation, the president
followed his previous announced
policy that in fixing prices, the gov
ernment should enjoy no price re-
ductions not shared with the gen.
eral public.

HUNS WAR DEBT
CAUSES ALARM
Total Now Reaches 124 Billion
Marks Effect of Burden On
Taxpayers Feared.

New York, April 1S.-Germany
will have to observe the greatest
economy for her national debt is
now 24.000. 100000 marks and the
hour OF reckoning viii come when
there will be walling and gnashing
of teath on the part of the taxpay-
ers. This reflection on the German
financial situation was made in the
reichstag on March l by Count Ar
thur Won Posadowsky- elmer, for
mer vice chancellor, according to
the Cologne Gazette, a copy of
which has been received here.
The count said that when he was
at the head of the imperial finance
department that the national debt
was 1,750 200, 600 marks and he had
considered that amount as terribly
high. Schemes to decrease the debt
through new taxes were not ap-
proved at the time and the govern
ment continued to increase the debt
Talk of depriving the wealthy
class Of part of their possessions
was deprecated by the count. The
burdens of the empire would be tre-
mendously heavy and he did not
think that imperial loans should be
redeemed by taking the holdings
of the wealthy classes who desired
to uphold the economic life"
Up to a few years ago the Ger
man cities were still paying off
war debts and indemnities resulting
from the wars of the Napoleonic
period, he said.
Amsterdam, April 18.-Germany's
proposed new taxes, according to
a telegram from Berlin, ar, expect
ed to yield a total of 3,16z,000, 900
marks. OF this sum 100000 900
marks will be obtained by an ex-
tension of the tax on business turn
overs while 85.000,000 marks will
be derived from the spirit mon
opoly.
