REGRETTABLE MISTAKE MADE
Somebody Slipped in Rating Bruno
Haas as ''lneligible"-is Now
an Ensign.

A regrettable mistake seems to have
been made by somebody in rating
Bruno Haas as among the Chicago
White Sox "ineligibles" in the Ameri-
can league reserve list. The facts are
that Haas enlisted in the naval avia-
lion service November 1, 1917, finished
the ground course at the school in Bos-
ton. was advanced to active flying and
made such progress that he was COM
missioned an ensign in the navy's avia-
ton force last summer, aIter Wnlcn lie
was given an important post as IN
structor in flying at the Pensacola n.y.
ing field. 1t is evident from this rec
ord that Haas is in no sense a Stacker
and the American league list will be
corrected accordingly, with due apollo
gies made Ensign Haas.

Chinese Also Have "kickS"
On the Telephone Service

China is learning fast. Where a
few years ago the telephone would be
considered an invention Of the devil
now listen to this wall from a native
business man to Tientsin paper:
"Can we hope for any Improvement
in the long-distance telephone situa-
ton? A few days ago / called up
Picking about 3 p. M, and was inform
cd that there were 60 calls ahead Of
me, and that there were only three
trunk lines in operation. l finally got
the call about 10 p. m. Surely the
Chinese administration can put up an
other trunk line and make this one
time fine service of use again to bust
ness men. The Picking long-distance
service is almost as bad as similar
services in Japan"

American Housewives Profit
From the Lessons in Thrift
As Taught by French Chefs

The French chef, the acknowledged
world leader of the art of the cuisine.
is the product of country that sur
passes all others in the practice OF
thrift.
But the necessity of keeping her
food budget within strict limits in
spite of war prices has. led many an
American housewife to discover for
herself some of the secrets Of the
French chef in making inexpensive
and formerly neglected food into deli
cacies fit for king.
Especially has this been so in the
preparation of meat for our American
tables. The following are some OF the
secrets of the French chef that the
American housewife has discovered
for herself.
Flank steak, which costs much less
than top sirloin or round steak, makes
an excellent roast. 1t can also be pot
roasted or used as chop steak.
Chuck or round steak costs much
less than porterhouse or sirloin. These
cuts should be cooked by ''moist" heat
or made tender by mechanical means,
as in Hamburger"
Beef neck is juicy and well favored.
1t makes good pot roast and the
very best stews and soups.
The cross rib makes an excellent pot
roast and there is no waste.
Shin of beef makes good "beef a
la mode" Cut it up as for stew ;
brown pieces in hot fat; Their add wa
ter; cook in a pot the sameHas pot
roast, and serve with gravy.
Shin of beef makes most nourish-
ing soup and the meat can be taken
from the pot afterward and served
with norseradish sauce.
If you buy rib roast of beef,
have your butcher cut the rib end off
so that you can use it for making
soup. If it is left on and roasted with
the rest of the meat it is largely
wasted.
For corned beef, the flank piece, the
navel piece and the brisFet piece cost
the least. These cuts are palatable and
the leftover portions can be made into
delicious hash.

KID GLEASON is NOW
WHITE SOX MANAGER
Pepper Pot Of Comiskey's Team
Is Named as Leader.
1t Was Not Great Surprise to Many
That Clarence Rowland Was De-
posed-Career of Both Men
Outlined Briefly.

"Kid" Gleason of Philadelphia, VINO
was called the pepper pot of the White
Sox during the years he had charge OF
them on the field, has been named
manager for next year in place OF
Clarence Rowland.
While it wasn't great surprise
that ComiSkey had released ROWland-
it was surprise that the new man
was Gleason. 1t generally was sup
posed that Comiskey and Gleason were
not even on speaking terms. In TACT,
Gleason refused to join the Sox last
year as coach, a job he had held a
number of years
Gleason will begin active service at
the New York joint meeting.
1t may be recalled that when Comis-
key felt compelled to make change In
management in midseason away back
in 1905 he selected Fielder Jones,
though, according to accurate Informal
ton, he was not on speaking terms
with Jones at the time.
Just why Rowland was dismissed is
a matter left unanswered by Coaiskey.
Outside of saying that he felt 1t
matter of his best judgment in his
effort to give Chicago fans the best
possible baseball results, the South
side leader had nothing to say.
1t will be the first attempt of "Kid"
Gleason as manager Of ball club,
though the "Kid" will be fifty-three
years of age this year and has served
more than 30 years in the professional
game, 20 or more as coach. He be-
gan his baseball career in 1887 as
pitcher with the Scranton, Pa, club,
and later developed into star second
taseman. He was member of the
famous Baltimore Orioles from 1893
to 1896, and played with the New York.
Giants from 1896 to 1900. He ended
his career as a player with the Phil
lies in 1907.
Rowland gained his baseball fame as
a "bush" Lacquer and had no major
league experience before coming to
the White Sox in 1915. He had man.
aged several clubs in the Three-I
league, and was the leader of the
Peoria, ILL.,, club of the Three-I league
when Comiskey hired him.
Rowland landed the White Sox in
third place in 1915, his first year as
manager of the club, and finished Sec
ond in 1916. The following year the
team won the American league pen
nant and defeated the New York
Giants for the worlds championship,
but in 1918 they finished sixth in the
pennant race.

Romance of Business and
the World-Famous Paquins

Nine. Paquin, the world-famous
modiste, has been making clothing for
the American army. Whenever any
one congratulated the late M. Paouin
upon his success and praised those
wonderful creations in feminine ap-
parel which the world and his wife
fiocked to see he merely replied: sThe
credit belongs to madame, not to N.Y.
SELF" M. Paquin started life as a
bank clerk. Madame was saleswom-
an in a big Paris dressmaking house
when they were married. She induced
him to leave the bank and open a
small costumer's shop known as the
Maison Lelanne. That shop has long
ceased to exist, but from 1t sprang the
huge business house of Paquin, which
the founder recently sold to a com.
pany with capital of $2,5OO.Y0O.

of the first men from the big leagues
to enter the army, offering his services
to the war department on the day the
United States entered the war.

Wood Produces Quick Heat
and Is Cheaper Than Coal

I tl ~
Farmers who own woodlands and
people in cities, towns and villages
who earn purchase wood from nearby
farms can help this winter-as last
winter-to relieve the demand for coal
and the strain on railway capacity by
burning wood in place of coal. 1t is
not expected substitution of wood
for coal will be complete or universal,
as for many purposes coal is much
more convenient. But for heating
many kinds of buildings wood is the
more convenient and cheaper fuel.
This is particularly true in the case
of churches, halls, summer cottages
and other buildings for which heat is
axequired only occasionally but then is
wanted in large volume at short no
tice-

Fuel Producers Predict an
0versupply in Coal Market

The question of fuel supply is an
ever present and important problem.
With the decreased requirements for
war purposes some Of the fuel produc-
ers are intimating that there will be
a surplus in the near future, but this
only means that there will not be an
excessive demand at the present in
fiated prices. Whatever may eventu-
ate in this direction, the cost OF fuel is
an important item in operating ex-
,penses of commercial vehicles, and it
is in this direction that sensational de-
velopment is certain to take place.

midas Total Sugar Acreage
Estimated at 2,550, 900 Acres

f Il -
The first official forecast of the
sugar-cane crop of India for the 1918
10 season is based upon reports re-
ceiyed from provinces that contain 90
per cent of the area under cane in
British India. The total area planted
is estimated at 2,550,OO0 acres, which
is practically the same as the estimate
for the 1918 season. Seasonal con-
ditions at sowing time were not very
favorable in the important cane-grow-
ing provinces and, owing to the delay
caused by rains the crop returns are
still uncertain in the greater part Of
the United Provinces, which contain
more than half the cane area of Brit.
ish India.

AN UNDEFlLED HERITAGE

Father in heaven, who lowest all,
Oh, help thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage.
Teach us to rule ourselves always,
Controlled and clearly night and day;
That we may bring, IL need arise,
No manned or worthless sacrifice.
Teach us to look, in all our ends,
On thee for Judge, and not our frlenos'
That we with thee may walk uncoWed
BY fear or favor of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek
BY deed or thought to hurt the weak;
That, under thee, we may possess
Mans strength to comfort mans distress
Teach us delight in simple things.
And mirth that has nc bitter springs
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men meath the sun.

The Value Of Salads in the Diet.


The Value of Salads in the Diet.
Salads are invaluable i'm the diet as
they supply water, mineral salts, acids,
cellul0se and flavor when prepared
from vegetables and fruits. Meat, fish,
eggs and cheese supply protein and
far while starchy vegetables furnish
fuel food. The salad dressings are
nm important part of the salad as re-
CARDS nutrition. for they are valuable
fuel foods.
The materials used in making sal
'nds are: Raw vegetables, cooked
vegetables, eggs. meat, fish, cheese,
nuts and fruit. With such a variety
from which to choose, there is no need
Of monotony.
Calcutta Salad
: Take one cupful of soft cheese, one
half cupful of grated American cheese,
one cupful of whipped cream, three
fonrths of tablespoonful of gelatin,
one teaspoonful Of salt, and a few
dashes of paprika. Soak the gelatin
In the cold water, add the hot water
90 dissolve it. Soften the cheese with
a little plain cream, add the grated
cheese and the whipped cream, the gel
attn, the salt and the paprika. Turn
snto molds and chill. Garnish with
pfmento or stuffed olives and aspara-
gus tips. Serve on lettuce with
French dressing.
French Dressing.
] The amount of acid will vary with
! Che kind of salad on which 1t is to
be nsed. One tablespoonful of vine
gar to three of oil is a good combina-
tion, and half teaspoonful of salt
and a few dashes of paprika. This
dressing may be changed by adding a
tablespoonful of thick cream to the
French dressing, tablespoonful of
chopped onion, parsley, or green pep
Ter. The dressing should be well
blended by beating with Dover egg
beater, then add the chopped vege-
tables and let stand for at least an
hour to season. Beat again before
serving.
