Sour cream makes the most delectable

This war will not be won in the trenches

the first line of defense. Upon her quick
mobilization for thrift, her pledge of saving
to the country, depends not only the
amount OF food products that can be con-
served, but also the extent of the supplies
of the raw products now so much more
needed in industry and war than in the

There are actually three thousand
different brands Of face powder now
sold in America, some on the market
as long as fifty years. A new face
powder has become the most popular
among all of these other three thou
sand powders, and it is only a few
months old. Yet it is now selling
faster than many on the market for
fifty years. Why did this new pow
der become famous so quickly? For
two reasons: First, it is guaranteed

WHERE DO THEY GET IT?

About two weeks ago four white
men, Alexandrians, faced the Police
Court to answer the charge OF being
drunk in the streets. When asked
where they produced their liquor, al
four replied, in Baltimore Or
course, no one believed that either
made a trip to Baltimore in order to
purchase stimulants.
There was one case before the
Police Court this morning, that of 4
young white man who had been az"
rested for diSorderly conduct in the
house of the complainant, who IS i
bon;face. The accused was drunk
when taken in custody. Upon being
searched one full pint bottle o.
whisky was found upon his person
and two half-pint bottles. Both Of
the latter had been tapped. Upon
being made to face the bar, he WAS
asked where he procured his liquor.
tie gave the same dnSWeT--lH DdlC!-
more. He was fined So. The COM
plainant in the case later said the
man procured the whisky in Alexan-
dria, as he made no trip to Baltimore:
There are now twelve men III Jail
who will be brought before the grand
jury Of the Corporation Court on
Wednesday to answer the charge of
bringing liquor into the state Of Viz
ginia. They are all non-residents.
While residents Of other sections OF
the state are caught with large sup
plies of wet goods in charge, it is sell
dom that Alexandrians are arrested,
although the transportation of liquor
into this city is going on all the time.
The police keep certain whites ana
blacks under espionage, but the sus-
poets so far, have managed to evade
their argus eyes.

CHANGES IN RIVER TRADE.

Conditions along the river have OF
late been undergoing decided
change. The communicating by the
government of steamboats, which have
heretofore been operated on the river
between Washington, Alexandria and
the lower Potomac has virtually
thrown upon sailing vessels the work
of transportation on the river, thus
reproducing conditions which existed
three score years ago.
The Baltimore steamers are making
but one trip a week to Alexandria
and Washington, while part OF the
lower river fotilla has been cut out
This order Of things has brought no
little complaint from people living on
the lower Potomac who have had the
benefit of travelling and trading IA
cilities by steam for many years. In
some instances automobiles are beng
used in river counties for the purpose
Of transporting provisions. Such
vehicles are also being used for pas
senger service.
The steamer Atlantic, which had been
transporting TO and from Alexan-
hria w0rkmen Of the plant OF the
Washington Steel and Ordinance Com
pany, is no longer running on that
route, and men residing i'll this city
are again being transported in mo-
tor boats.
1t is suggested that a doub!e-end
ferry steamer between Alexandria
and Washington might prove paying
enterprise at this time. The steamer
could make stops at the steel plant
a times during the day for the cen
venience of those employed there who
reside in this city.
The population of our city IS M
creasing rapidly, and the reproduction
of the ferry service between Alexan-
dria and Washington will, we believe,
soon become necessary.
Transportation by sailing vessels IS
a slow process after the community
has been used so long 10 steamboats,,
hut it was the only means known to
the grandfathers Of most people now
living.

TRACES KIN in ARMY

In majority of cases such inquiries
are merely turned over by the individ-
ual or agency to the Red Cross, which
has charge of such communication with
soldiers relatives. and which has de-
veloped special facilities for obtaining
information about those reported
killed, wounded, or missing, and those
from whom letters have not been re-
ceived. Congestion of cables and a
loss Of time and energy are also oc-
casioned by making the request other
than through the Red Cross. 1t has
been known that as many as four sep
arate requests have been received
about the same men by different in
situations.
Edward M. Day, acting director OF
the bureau Of communication, said:
1.-THE function of this bureau is to
give relatives all possible information
which will lessen anxiety. Every In
quiry is handled with full realization
that q prompt and full reply is OF seri-
GUS moment to the happiness, peace OF
mind, and not infrequently tc the
health of the relatives. BY writing to
the bureau, relatives frequently will
get Immediately information at hand
and may be sure that search is started

U-BOATS Baked
BY AIR FIGHTERS

share In winning the safe landing of
Americas first million the reservation
must be made that the range of air
craft from their bases Is limited. but
their bases are not necessarily on land,
and seaplanes and submarine scouts
have accommodation on shipboard and
are carried to the area of their deep
sea patrols.
Again, 1t Is naturally in home wa
tiers and especially In the North sea
that submarines are thickest, outward
bound from Germany so that aircraft
patrols are effective from home bases
over the sea zone most frequented by
U-boats.
Coast patrol airships accompany
conveys through home waters spot
ting" submarines, to be dealt with
either by themselves or by destroy
ers; and IL the U-boat menace Is not
yet mastered, II Is steadily and I'M
mistakably being brought under con-
troll.
Safe landing of million Americans
in France is a big fact, the slgnif-
canoe Of which can hardly be missed
even In Germany, where, according to
neutral witnesses, scepticism has been
rapidly growing lately concerning the
possibilities of the U-boat campaign.

AlrpIanes Are Of Great Assist

NECESSARY ALLY OF NAVY
Great Britain Sees Need of Holding
Command Of Air as Well as OF
Sea--Alrcraft Either Attack
or Summon Patrols.

London.--The measure Of the sue
cess of the antisubmarinc campaign Is
the safe crossing of the Atlantic by a
million American troops.
There is very properly good deal
Of official reticence regarding the
methods by which submarines are de-
stroyed, but 1t Is an open secret that
the royal air force has contributed
largely toward the defeat of the u
boat campaign.
just as airplanes have become an
essential auxiliary to the army, so air.
craft have become an Indispensable
ally OF the navy, making 1t clear that
ascendancy In the air In future will be
as vital to Britain as her present as
cendancy at sea.
Airships of two main types, the
smaller known as the submarine scout
and the larger as the coast patrol
type, and seaplanes, are the chief in
struments for dealing with submarines
from the air. The first business of all
aircraft or submarine offensive Is to
find the submarine.
See Submerged Boats.
From certain height In the air,
submerged U-boats are visible to OBJ
servers and their position Is communi-
Gated to the nearest naval patrol. The
work of aircraft is by no means con-
fined to detecting the U-boats, They
have means of Immediately attacking
their prey without waiting for the ar
rival of the naval patrol.
There Is the obvious means Of drop
ping bombs, fully effective when the
submarine Is caught on or just below
the surface. Modern antisubmarine
aircraft are almost equally at home In
the air or on the water Should the
U-boat dive through the water, its pur-
suer can dive through the air and re-
lease depth charges, which have con-
siderable range of action, and are much
feared by U-boat commanders.
