the bandits and have them grant an
extension of time. We were hoping
to hear that they would grant us
this extension when the message
came today that our boy was saved"

of Thanks.

iS5eucklcn, member of the national
assembly and Imperial commissioner
for war and civilian prisoners, to-
day at a meeting of, majority social
lists, protesting against further re-

blamed France for the holding of
these prisoners and said that the con-
dition of the men there was bad. He
said the men were treated well in
Italy.

The Atlantic Deeper Waterways As
ISOLATION at its recent annual conven-
ton in Charleston. S. c., adopted reso-
buttons favoring the deepening of the
James River from city Point to Nor
folk. The adherence of this Assoeia-
ton to the plan of making a deeper
channel from City Point to the sea is
regarded as one of the most hopeful
moves in the campaign to develop in
dustrially the Petersburg-Hopewell
District. The dupont Chemical Com
pany which is now presenting the ad-
vantages of Hopewell and the sur
rounding territory as a manufactur-
ing site to industries in the country,
expects to be able to develop the terri
tory in a most substantial manner.
The Petersburg Chamber of Commerce
which is actively engaged in this
work with the DUPONT Chemical Com
pany, recently sent a committee TO the
convention of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association and presented
to that body the advantages of a
deeper channel in the James River.
The approval by the convention of that
plan means that the Association will
stand behind the project when it comes
up for action before Congress.

gave several suggestive
menus for Thanksgiving. In one she
told how to make a four-pound chicken
do for three meals for a family of four
or five persons. all of which goes to
prove the old saying, " there is more
tina one way to kill a cat and carve
it also" which proved to be true after
her explanation.
She told of a man who prophesied
sometime ago that in twenty years we
will only use meat as a flavor. Surely
we are ready to see it come to pass
now.
She said that instead of using one
and a half pounds of meat to now buy
one pound. By preparing it in differ
ent ways we can c~amou1age it so that
no one would be the loser either in
quantity or food value.
She told how to save all drippings
from meats and poultry, clarity them
and use for frying. She advocated
