Work Above Anacostia Bridge.

Heretofore Congress has made sepa-
rate appropriations for these projects.
The pending bill provides only for
continuing work on the project COW
ering the area above the AnacoStia
bridge.
Army engineers deem it advisable
to combine the two projects in order
that the money appropriated in the
pending bill may be expended for the
improvement of either section, ac-
cording to the necessities of the case.
To that end. the Secretary of War has
suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of chang
ing the section of the bill covering
the subject so as to extend the au-
thorized Improvement to the mouth of
the AnacoStia river. If that is done
it will be possible to improve about
$50 acres of land on the left bank OF
the river near the Government Hos
pital for the Insane which has been
only partially reclaimed under previ-
Gus specific appropriations.

JACK SPRATT" CALLS
HIS CULT TO WAR AID
Twentieth Century Club Exhibit
Emphasizes the Need Of Saving
Fats for Nation.

Necessity for conservation of fats is
emphasized in this months food sex-
hibit at the Public Library, under aus
pices of the Twentieth Century Club.
The exhibit was installed by Mrs
George H. Ashley and Mrs William F.
Snow, who have it in charge.
While the main reason for fat con-
servation is the feeding of America n
and allied armies and the civil popu-
lation of France and Belgium, stress is
laid on the fact that nitroglycerin is a
necessity in the making of munitions,
and that it is derived from fats.
Graphic illustrations are given of
economics in saving all household fats,
their use in cooking and of the sparing
use of the frying pan.
The advisa bility of home consump-
ton of vegetable fats in preference to
animal fats leads to interesting eXhi-
billions of the story of cottonseed oil,
the rise of the humble peanut, the eVo-
luton of corn oil and the apotheoSiS of
the cocoanut as a rival of the COW in
the production of butter.
A collection of nuts and photographs
American nut industries
calls attention to this somewhat neg
lected source of fats.
The keynote of the exhibit is struck
by an original poster under the cap
ton of Join Jack Spratt; eat less
fat" Other posters are to be added
soon.
Next weeks special attraction will be
an exhibit of foods prepared by classes
of the domestic science schools for
colored students.

Postal Employees Await Special Bill.

To the Editor of TIE Star:
l notice, with much Indignation that
once again the poor postal employees are
to await a special bill' for any in
crease in pay for which they may hope
I say hope. because, quite likely, that
is all it will amount to.
Why is it there is always discrimina-
ton against these poor employees, who
are among the most faithful of any of
them? Always, when there is "A pro-
posed salary increase they are put off
and by the time their case comes up
the money is exhausted or they are
given promises as a substitute.
Does not the postal employee work
eight hours day against the depart
mental seven? Does not the postal en-
ploye get fifteen days annual leave
against the departmental thirty? And
sick leave! Well. the postal employee
must not succumb to such human
frailties, or. if he does, must lose his
pay, as there is no leave provided for
that purpose. The departmental clerk,
however, has thirty days set aside for
him in case of illness.
| believe few people realize or know
of these determinations, else they
would not tolerate them. Do not let
this go on. Give the postal clerk his
due.
1 know whereof l speak. My hus-
band has been one of them Thank

Vanishing Subs.

The submarines go subbing
forth, manned by heroic men;
they Journey east and west and
north, and don't come back again.
The kaiser sees his costly boats
go sailing from his shore; then
something frightful gets their
goats, and they come back no
more. There is a hole the
kaiser signs. somewhere beneath
the sea; there U-boats go, no
more to rise; alas. and woe is me!
When first my U-boat graft was
sprung, | called for volunteers !;
the chosen seamen then gave
tongue to loud and happy cheers.
They sailed away to break and
burst old Britains power and
might; ach, schweitzerkase und
liverwurst! where are my boys to-
night? And when to save the
Fatherland l now ask volunteers,
no sailor lifts a willing hand-l'm
facing 1nutineers! And so | have
to make the threat of hemp and
gallows scenes, before they'll
come, already yet, to man my sub
marines. Naught can albright the
German soul like fornless mys-
terry, and I'm afraid of that great
hole. somewhere beneath the
sea!' And still the kaiser's
U-boats go, by crews reluctant
manned, and some grim monster,
down below, is seeing that they
are canned. WALT MASON.
