SAFETY BONDS VS.. WILDCATS.
Buy "victorious Fifth" Liberty Loan
Bonds to Keep, and Avoid Regrets.

About the saddest thing in the world
is to undergo self denial for years, to
save money and then see the rainy day
fund" wiped out by the failure of some
wild cat" scheme.
This happens every day. Widows and
hard working men are credulous. They
listen to the oily promises of get rich
quick" promoters and hand over savings
to slick statesmen promising impossible
profits.
And when the bolt falls out of the
clear sky the careful savings of years
disappear "The Bonanza company has
gone up" Then there is nothing to do
but begin all over
Whatever the temptation may I've
been in the past TO do this thing. there is
no excuse for it now. Hundreds OF thou
sands Of experienced publicity and in
vestment men have been at work nearly
two years, under the authority of the
government, educating millions OF people
in the art of safe investing. More people
are saving money to-day than ever be-
fore in the history of the world. Lit.
orally millions have been taught to buy
government bonds.
The government will offer another
chance to get in on the ground floor
during the spring when the fifth Liberty
loan is offered.
The money will be spent to pay the
cost of maintaining and restoring to
their homes the valiant soldiers who
have won for America the worlds great,
est victory. The bills must be paid and
the American people must pay them.
The bonds will provide the funds.
To buy them when they are offered
everybody should begin saving now.
Set aside all the money you can spare
and have il in the bank for the initial
payment on fifth Liberty bonds

An American Soldier Bribed
His Way Out of Ger
man Prison
GERMANS VERY EAGER
TO PROCURE SOAP
William Litch's Bride Not
Much Larger Than
His Thumb

Coblenz, Feb. IL correspondence of the
Associated Press. Half a cake Of soap,
used as a bride, opened the road to lib
erty for an American soldier who re-
Gently reioined his regiment after being
imprisoned in Germany. William Litch,
a private in the 26th infantry, was cap
tured Oct, 4 during the fighting in the
Argonne and taken to a prison camp
near Baden. From another American
who had received a prisoners package,
Litch procured a piece of soap not much
larger than his thumb.
A few nights before the signing of the
armistice Litch gave the soap to a Ger
man prison camp guard and stepped out
of the stockade free man. He began
travelling by night, and hiding by day,
but before he reached the front he was
overtaken by other released American
prisoners who told him of the armistice.
Even to-day in the American occupied
area soap will buy articles which are not
purchasable with money.

PHYSICAL TRAINING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Has Been Demanded in Eight States as
the Direct Outcome of the REVEAL
tons of American Physical
Standards as Brought
Out by the War.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 20.--A quick.
ened appreciation in all nations of the
value of physical education has resulted
from the war, according to DR.. P. p
ClaxtOn, commissioner of the bureau of
education, and has been evidenced in
this country by the enactment of laws in
eight states requiring physical training
in the public schools.
A bulletin issued by the bureau, sum
marizing legislation on the subject, notes
that in France a strong central commit
tee has been formed to promote physical
education and in England comprehensive
provisions have been incorporated in the
new education law.
Illinois was the first of the American
states to require physical training by
statute, passing the law in June. 1915.
Since that time New York, New Jersey,
Nevada, Rhode Island, California, Mary
land and Delaware have enacted similar
laws and six other states, Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Nebraska,
Ohio and Colorado, have given legislative
attention to the subject but have not
acted
In most states which have considered
physical education, the initial impulse to
action was interest in military prepared
ness and took the form of bills for mill
tary training of high school boys. In
yestigation resulted in convincing the
legislators, the bulletin says, that mill
tary training for youths was less val
liable even as a mesaure Of preparedness
than solid system of physical training.
With the exception of Nevada, where the
law applies to high schools only, the
laws apply to all school children and the
time requirement ranges from one hour
each school week to two hours and a
half.

For His Position During the

Cardinal Gibbons Made Ad.
dress in Reply to Golden
Jubilee Congratulations

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2O.-Thanks-
giving that the blessed sun of peace has
dawned" and praise for the work Of the
horrors of war formed the theme of the
paPacy in attempting to mitigate the
reply of Cardinal Gibbons to-day to ad-
dresses of congratulation at his golden
episcopal jubilee.
II thank God that we are assembled
to-day, when the war is over, and the
blessed sun Of peace has dawned upon
US" he said.
During the tremendous conflict there
was one majestic figure that lowered
over all others, I refer to our Holy
Father Benedict XIV. ! behold him now
in Imagination standing like Moses on
the mountain with uplifted hands, pray
ing for his spiritual children shedding
fractricidal blood
THE Holy Father was uniustlv criti.
cized in those days He was blamed by
the allies because he did not side with
them. He was blamed by the central
powers because he did not espouse their
cause. But the Holy Father could not
be a partisan. He was too exalted a
parsonage for that. But though not a
partisan, he va not an Indifferent spec.
tator of the horrors he witnessed He
frequently protested against the out.
RACES perpetrated in Belgium and
France; and he was habituallv exercised
in the bene7olent work of efiecting a
change of prisoners, and in many other
ways mitigating the horrors of war.
The sovereign pontif stands out to-
day the most exalted parsonage in Chris.
tendon. Kings will die, emperor will
die, even popes win die, but the papacy
lives forever.
The popes have seen the rise and de-
yeloPmeut Of all the governments of Eu-
rope. II is not improbable they will
witness the death of some of them and
chant their requiem.
They have seen Kingdoms changed to
republics and republics changed to mon
arches. They have locked on while the
Goths, the Vandals and Fisigoths in
yaded the farest portions of Europe,
upsetting thrones. All this they have
seen, while the divine constitution of
the church of which they are the guar
dians has remained unchanged We may
apply TO her the words of Apostle:
These shall perish, but thou remaiuest
and all OF them shall grow old as gar
ment But Thou 0 immortal church,
art always the same, and thy years shall
never fall"

In France the salad is indicative of
| this most frugal of nations, it appears
| on the table of all classes, including the
very poor. In America it has been an
example of our prodigalty in matter Of
! foods; we have been too prone to regard
the salad as an extra dish or as an ad-
| junct to another dish.
In the salad we have a large variety.
Salads may be composed OF fruit, of
! chicken, Of fish, of green's and vegetables
with such additions as slices of hard
! boiled eggs, chopped fine herbs, different
kinds of piquant sauces, grated cheese
and maraschin0 cherries to fruit salads.
From such a variety we can give the
salad almost any place we like in q
week, according to the home economics
department Of Armour & Co
A salad of tiny pink shrimps may
serve as an appetizer, before the soup
for dinner. or in the place of soup for
lunch, or, to suit other tastes, this place
in the meal may be occupied by a salad
of fresh or the best quality canned fruits,
served on lettuce leaves with a cream
or with a French dressing.
A salad of chicken, lobster or diced
salmon and slices of hard boiled eggs
makes the main course of a luncheon or
supper.
Asparagus, all kinds of beans carefully
cooked and chilled, beets, are all excel
lent. for salad purposes
The salad greens, such as lettuce, chic
ory. endves, are at best advantage care
fully washed and dried, sprinkIed with a
little chopped parsley and chives and
served with French dressing. To dry
lettuce place in lettuce bag or tea tow
eI and shake Iightl y, or gently press each
| leaf with the dry tea towel
There are some excellent prepared sal.
ad dressings that have a deserved place
on the emergency shelf Olive oil is now
very expensive and hard to obtain, sat
isfactory alternative is the best quality
cold pressed cottonseed oil. This may
be used in the following salad dressings;
Eggless Mayounaise--3 tablespoons
slightly sour cream, Y tablespoon salt
u tablespoon mustard, few grains papri,
ka, V cup salad oil, 2ta tablespoons
vinegar Combine the seasonings and
stir in the cream. Add the oil a little
at a time, beating it in with an egg
beatcr, and when thick add it more rap
idly. Stir in the vinegar gradually and
beat well.
Thousand Island Dressing-l cup may
onnaise dressing, cup whipped cream,
u cup chill sauce or catsup, , table
spoons minced pimento, tablespoon of
chopped cucumber, tablespoon Worces-
tershire sauce. Mix in the order given
and use at once. Dorothy Dexter.

NJ. DIS WOULD RETAIN
BEER AND LIGHT WINE
Oppose Whiskey Except for
Use Only in Sick Room.
Special Despatch to The suS.

ATLANTIC CITY, June 12.-Dr. Lam
bert OFT of Philadelphia told the conven-
ton Of the American Medical Association
here to-day that under modern condi-
tons Of life beer and light wines are
necessities and should be permitted for
beverage purposes, but declared that
whiskey should be used only in the sick
room.
Beer and light wines do no HARM"
said DR.. OFT, Beer drinkers are a
healthy lot, they are good natured. and
they have plump. healthy babies, while
the babies OF whiskey drinkers look old
and are shriveled. War beer is a nom
intoxicating beverages, because 1t con-
tains only about ga ounces of alcohol
to the gallon. and the stomach cannot
hold enough to supply an intoxicating
dose. BY all means let US keep light
wines and beer. They are preferable to
soft drinks. many OF which are clearly
orug connections"
DR.. Soils Cohen OF Philadelphia spoke
along the same line. characterizing the
prohibition movement as IAN unreason-
ing wave of hysteria, unsound in princi-
pie and dangerous practice"
If deprived of wine and beer" he
continued. "the American people will
turn to the patent medicines containing
alcohol, and will. therefore. be taking
drugs of various kinds In addition to
alcohol. I hope that common sense will
prevail and that the sale of beer and
wines under sane laws will be permitted"

Public Service Commissioner
Says Further Receiverships

Lewis Nixon. Public Service Commits.

avoid further traction receiyerships
should he made at once by adjusting
fare rates.
I'VE cannot see the great system Of
transportation now so vital to our grow

within two years tho present rates may
pay again, but present need Is facing
US which cannot be met without general
impairment by drifting"
Mr.. Nixon said that IL he had the
power to adjust fares to meet the situ-
alton he would have acted before this
He added that the adjustment should be
"a give and take between the pleas Of
the traction companies and the ideas
Of the officials who hold the rate fixing
power. Then he added:
II wish to make very clear the fact
that nothing will be done by me under
any circumstances except in cooperation
with the Mayor. He IL the head of tho
city government and speaks for the city
and certainly he has my respect and es-
teem."
Coincident with the Public Service
Commissioners statement one issued
from Mayor Hylan. who said:
Il will oppose an increased fare, and
IL the transit corporations refuse to oper-
ate the lines the city win operate them
In the interest OF the people. It was
stated In the press yesterday that II the
Board Of Estimate Ind Apportionment
would not consent to an increased fare
an appeal would be made to the Legisla-
ture of 1920 for q law which would take
the power out of the hands of the city
administration.
II want to say now that the people
should ask the designees of both parties
in every Senatorial and Assembly dis
trict before primary day in September IL
they are for or against an increased fare
to the transit corporations of this city.
and IL they refuse to take a stand
against an increased fare they would be
opposed in the primary and on election
day regardless Of party Affiliations.
II will take an active part In any Sen
atorial or Assembly district campaign to
help defeat any candidate who refuses to
take stand against increased fares"

Mr.. Burr gave figures showing that of,
17.S0o000 passengers In both directionil
on the Staten Island municipal ferry 1 y
1915 more than 100000 made use
transfers The Richmond represent
tives expressed the belief. based in pa
on systematic ta1lbes. that all transfei
passengers rode from points south of
Chambers street to South Ferry. This
supported the Original theory of the
contract. which was intended to benefit
the traction company by providing pas
sengers where otherwise the cars would
be but comparatively little used.
Mr.. Mills gave figures indicating that
Of the 100000 passengers on transfers
100000 were regular weekday trav-
ellers. He said Richmond Borough had
been left out of all part in the dual
subway contracts except the part of
bearing a share of the cost. He added
that the transfer contract was entered
into as an Offset to subway neglect and
that because of this implied relation the
people of the borough had an equitable
right which should be preserved by the
court.
In explaining Jhfs decision Judge Mayer
said 1t Is incumbent upon him to pre-
serve the property and to make every
effort to avoid a necessity for issuing
receivers certificates. He said the pos
sibility of paying interest due on July
on the per cent. bonds Is far from
hopeful.
In appointing a committee OF Rich
mond men to confer with the receiver.

sentauves of the securities, the court
