YANKS TO STAY IN
SIBERIA UNTIL FINISH
American Troops Needed to Guard
Great Railway, Wilson
Tells the Senate.

Washington, July 26. y President
Wilson advised the senate that the
American military expedition In 81
IBERIA was there primarily to protect
and maintain operation Of the Siberian
railroad and indicated that the expe-
dition would remain as long as SUCH
protection was necessary.
Another purpose of the expedition
as outlined by the president was to
give relief to the Russian people In 81
IBERIA by supplying food, clothing and
other supplies. Mr.. Wilson said there
was no intention Of interfering with
Russian sovereignty.
The retention of American troops to
protect the American railroad forces
under John f. Stevens, the presidents
letter stated, is vital element" BY
agreement with Japan, the president
stated, the American troops are to re-
main there as long as the railroad ex-
petition Is engaged in maintaining OPP
GRAFTON.
The presidents communication, de-
failing at great length the activities OF
the American military and railroad
forces in Siberia was in response to
a resolution of Senator Johnson
(Rep.) of California, inquiring regard
ing the America policy In Siberia and
how long it was proposed to retain the
troops there.

Authorship Not Determined.

"The more I see of human nature,
the more I love dogs" The common
phrasing of this cynicism is: "The
more I see of men the better like
dogs" This has proved the despair
Of the Industrious folk who run quot
able passages down to their source.
Because the sentiment is somewhat
sardonic it has been attributed to the
French and credited to Victor Hugo
and Georges Sand, but the attribution
has never been satisfactorily fortified
by the citation of chapter and verse.
The authorship remains problem, and
when it was proposed here some years
ago the curious scholarship Of those
who are alert to answer these ques-
lions failed to shed any light.

Greatness.

He alone is worthy Of the appella-
ton (great) who either does great
things, or teaches how they may be
done, or describes them with suit
able majesty when they have been
done; but those only are great things
which tend to render life more happy,
which increase the innocent enjoy
ments and comforts of existence, or
which pave the way to a state Of fu-
ture bliss more permanent and more
pure.
BY a certain fate great acts and
great eloquence have most commonly
gone hand in hand, equaling and hon.
oring each other in the same agNS.--

years ago that the best device for burn

general applause, but the Theroz cubes

The Tribune Institute has already an

making them more uniform. The time

IN The Tribune for February %, four
percentage figures were given that we
lear may be misleading, though the ac-
companying basic data on which they
were calculated are perfectly correct.
The statement that two operations Of
cooking under the hood saved so and 100
per cent of gas, respectively, and that
the two oven tests saved SS and $50 per
cent, respectively, should have read that
these were the percentage increases in
gas consumption on the regular gas
stove over the Chambers.
The corresponding percentages of gas
saved would be 33 1-3, so, AZ and 60 per
cent, respectively. In other words, the
four figures given as percentages Of

percentages of increased gas consump-
tion on the usual gas stove, as compared

ne Sole of Friday-By Jeanette Youna Norton

X Nat fish, there are plenty in
the sea-" the government
says, This seems to be a
true statement, as most fish
are in the sea rather than on land. The
week-enders who do land in our mar
kets are good, but not as varied as for
merry, and have gone up in price, like
everything else. Yet even with the ad-
vance they are enough lower than meat
prices to tempt the economist
Founders, politely called "sole" when
flleted, have become fish standby
with the American housewife, and it is
pity that more of the women do not
learn TO fillet them at home, as we'll as
the art of serving them in greater
variety of ways. In buying fish we pay
for skin, bones and trimmings, then ac
cept the fillets and leave the rest behind.
French women, and their English Sis
ters, demand the trimmings for fumette.
gravy stock for immediate use and
stock for chowders, soups or Jelly foun-
dations. One fshman says he has a
barrel of trimmings" left each week
from fillets, all paid for once, that he
sells to restaurant for chowder foun-
dation Wholesalers have many barrels
to dispose Of every week left from the
sole of Friday prepared for hotels. Is
rot THIS an economic lesson worth learn
ing? We are slowly learning the value
of the bones and fats we used to leave
With the butcher to sell again, and we
must now study other byproducts if we
are to rank in thrift with other nations.
In choosing founders the short, broad.
thick and firm fish are best. Elastic to
'ouch, skin clean and cool, eyes full,
gilis fresh and red--these are the points
10 Judge the fish by. Although the fiat
fishes keep better than the large fat
varieties, it is best to scale and clean
them, rubbing inside and out with a
little salt, then wrap them in drv
hnen cloth and place on ice as soon
as they are brought in from the shop.
IL they are to be used immediately thew
can be filleted before being put on ice.
The flavor Of a fish depends largely
on its feeding grounds, which also in
huence It's color. To fillet the sole
lay 1t on fish board, head to the right
hand; with sharp knife cut right
around the fish just inside the ridge Of
side bones, then loosen the fillet from
the back bone, rolling the meat back
over the left hand. Reverse the fsh
and repeak the operation on the other
side; this leaves fish skeleton. Lay the

flllets, skin side down, on the board and
run the knife down as close to the skin
as possible, then cut the fillets into any
shape and size desired.
If the fillets are to be boiled whole
they may be rolled and tied securely.
II baked they may be spread with stuff
ing and laid one on top of the other,
buttered, and basted with savory sauce
as they cook. If to be fried or cooked
IN casserole, then they should be cut

innovation, but until one has tasted
crisp lettuce, cress or endive with hot
toast, eggs or some similar relish, one
does not realize what real appetizers
they are for the first meal of the day.
In purchasing the vegetables, the
housewife will doubtless find that the
prices vary greatly with the locality in
which they are obtained, or whether they
are bought from a small stand or from
an expensive shop The same grade
