Cherry Time.

Cherries, like other small fruits, may
be canned without cooking. Crush
the fruit well and mix with equal parts
of sugar; stir until the sugar is
well dissolved before canning. Care
should be taken that the. jars are
steriliZed, and that they are perfectly
sealed; then keep in a cold place.
A few preserved cherries to use as a
garnish for various dishes are quite
an addition to the fruit closet. When
canning cherries, if a kernel or two
of the pits are added to each jar, the
flavor of almond, which is most deli
cate, is given to the fruit.
The Royal Ann, which is a sweet,
juicy cherry, makes a most delicious
salad. Sprinkle the cherries, after
pitting them, with little lemon juice
and sugar. Served in a fruit bowl,
garnished with cherry leaves, one has
a most refreshing breakfast dish.
A pretty garnish for cherry jelly or
other desserts is the fresh cherry left
in punches with the stems on, dipped
in powdered sugar. Arrange around
the jelly or nodded dessert.

Real Poverty

Poverty is a variable term and much
subject to comparison. Some will al
low it only to those who have been
born to 1t. To have been always half
starved, these think, and to carry a
basket from door to door-that is to
be poor. But it is idle to think of
cold and hunger to the point of beg
gary as the only cold and hunger
there are. Not alone are there de-
grees of cold and hunger of the body
Uncomfortable and ill-nourished liv-
ing-but there are, as well, things
which seem to me even more difficult
to endure-unsatisfe hunger Of the
mind and heart and a most cruel and
persistent chill of the spirit-Laurs

Sailors, Collars.

All sailors collars have border run
ming round them consisting of three
white lines close together and parallel.
In men of the regular British navy these
lines are straight, but the collars of the
Naval Volunteer force have the lines
wavy. 1t is difficult to say exactly
when the lines came into use or who
first originated the idea, but those who
have studied the question of uniforms
state that the lines represent the three
great naval victories of Nelson: The
battle of the Nile, Copenhagen, and Ira
falgar, and are intended to perpetuate
the memories of these glorious British
triumphs on the sea.

HAND IN MOVES

Articles Urging Union Of
Spanish Speaking Nations
Bear Signatures of German

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 20. GORE
%spondencc Of the Associated Press -
German efforts to the much
discussed Latin-AmeriCan union be-
tween Spain and the Spanish speaking
republics OF Central ana South Ameri-
ca as a weapon against pau-AmeriCan-
ism came to light today in the Ger
man-lnsplred articles that appeared in
connection with the observance Of The
Day OF the Race as tne spanish speak
ms people designate the anniversary of
the discovery Of the americas,
The Argentine newspapers and week
ly magazines carried special articles
pointing out the advantage Of a MO
that would make the Spanish-speaking
nations independent Of all others. Sew
eral Of these were signed by men who
are known for their pro-German sym
pathtes. II was also noticeable that
the articles appearing IN the purely
German newspapers were even more
insistent in supporting such a union
than the Argentine papers.
This union with Spain was proposed
first from Spanish sources nearly two
years age and II was suspected then,
from its antipathy to pan-American-
ism, that German schemes were be-
hind the move. The proposal has been
kept alive in this country ever since
by pro-Germans and Spaniards who
have made M attempt To hid the fact
that their efforts are directed against
the United States.
The principal argument Is that South
America must be protected from
American Imperialism Spain Is
pointed to as the great mother country
that can supply all the needs and at
the same time the sympathetic under
standing that comes from a COMMON
language and common religion. The
Spanish clergy Is aiding the propa-
gandIsts in their campaign,
One OF the articles published today
stated that the war a brought about
new forms Of International friendship
and that this friendship In the future
will be based on mutuaT gain and ad-
vantage Questions OF language, race
and religion, 1t adds, may SOW the seeds
of new differences tomorrow and 1t
therefore behooves the 20 Spanish
speaking American nations to unite for
their common advantage. The argu-
meut closes with the statement that the
