DRUNKEN PATROL SURPRISED
Charley Bradcn Attacked in No

Three men engaged in a drunken
brawl in the wee small hours o. the
morning Sunday, and when the
smoke screen had cleared away and
the barrage lifted, Charlie Braden

with n badly cut head. Charlie did
not know who his enemies were for
they bumped him off with a piece of

drinking and that he had met his
two companions, but that's about all.
Several stitches were taken in clos

PRESIDENT KILLS CHAMBERLAIN BILL
 FOR WAR PROBE

Washington, May 17.--President Wilson's unswerving opposition to the Chamberlain resolution, which, by an inquiry into the aircraft situation, the president considers. purposes general investigation of the conduct of the war. prevailed in the Senate today. when leaders of both sides agreed not to bring the resolution up until Mon- day, and meanwhile regarded some sort of a compromise likely.
 President Wilson's request for de- feat of the amended resolution was supported in a minority report on the resolution filed today by Senator Thomhson of Kansas, chairman of the Senate expenditures committee. The Chamberlain resolution had been referred to the expenditures commit tee, and Senator Thompson was join ed in his report by Senator Jones of New Mexico, another Democratic mem Der of the committee.
 Even as amended by the eXpendi lures committee majority--Senator Senators Smoot of Utah ana France of Maryland. Republicans-tEe minor ity members declared the Chamber lain resolution is "a mere dragnet proposition" and is ''unnece ssary in order to enable the military committee to continue it's inquiries, as a resol ution passed shortly after the United States entered the war gave the com mittee ample authority to conduct in vestisatons."

". 5. S.- AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT

To turn out thousands of aero planes instead of dozens as formerly requires preparation for the task. Our weakness in the airplane production plan has been that the time for pre- paration was misjudged.
 The machinery that makes air planes had to be made first; the wood used had to be selected and put in shape for use; special grades of steel had to be produced.
 All of this could not be done over night, though some politicians led the people to think it could be done.
 Our aircraft plans will materialize in time. We'll produce the thou sands of planes after We have had the minimum of time in which to do so, and not before.

Little Rock, May 1.-The fire insurance companies operating in Arkansas enjoyed an unusually sue cessful years ill 147.
 The loss ratio for the year was 36.11, as compared with a ratio of 56.55 for the United States, and 6O.16 for 1916. There are only three other years since 1881 that are lower than the 1917 ratio. The highest loss ratio recorded is 125.09 in 1913, and the next highest is 100.S in 1915.
 There are BIO insurance companies and societies of all kinds operating in the state. They received from Arkan- sas policy holders total of $14,S02,- 256, and paid back to policy holders $7,061 ,642, the ratio of return on each dollar being fl cents.

 In the creation of new foods we make an addition to the visible sup ply and open up new fields of com merce and industry.
 A great saving can be effected through the process of substitution in the use of sea foods. For ex- ample, whiting can be purchased now at Sc per pound and is splendid substitute for haddock, blue fish or smelts at soc per pound. Shark meat is on sale at l0c per pound and can be substituted for halibut, cod steak or sword fish at 25c to Soc. Sduid at Sc is a good substitute for scallops, and ray at Sc to lOc per pound can be used ill the place of mackerel or salmon.
 These substitute fish are not in- ferior in any way to the better known varieties. In fact, they have for many years been recognized as delicacies abroad and bring high prices there.
 If millions of our American fam lilies indulge in these substitutes it will conserve other forms of fish and

 It is said that acorn flour is new product destined to take the place of wheat flour in the preparation of certain kinds of food. Acorns are reported to be bringing $1.00 sack in California where they are fed to hogs and, of course, make excellent food for that purpose. But acorn flour is now said to have been de- velopcd by Mrs. Nellie Taylor of Plymouth, Cal.
 Experiments with acorn flour have resulted unsatisfactorily heretofore because the product had bitter taste and an uninviting color. Mrs. Tay- Tor, according to report made by the United States Food Administration, has developed a process by which the bitter taste and discoloration of the acorn are extracted. The flour sis said to be superior to wheat flour in baking cake, being richer and softer.
 Satisfactory experiments in the utilization of cotton-seed for food have been made ill the South. Cot ton-seed flour is coming into quite general use, especially in the cotton states. It is said the seed of the cot ton is rich in food values and will prove a tremendous help in enabling US to save wheat in addition to which it opens up a new source of income in the South.
 These are phases of thrift that should be encouraged by every patri- otic American. To do so requires neither unselhshness nor sacrifice. It is the easiest possible way for one to develop the habit of thrift and help win the war.
