WAR HAS CHANGED
 PEOPLES APPETITES
Canadians Now Eat Much That They Once Declined to Accept As
 DGSira bIe.

Winnipeg, Can, Feb. 22-War- time food conservation campaigns in the Canadian Northwest have changed the appetites of the people. Hundreds of tons of fish and game, once deemed unfit as food are being consumed each month throughout the Do- minion.
 Whale and fatfish seem to lead as sea, foods, while beaver and other fur bearing animals, hitherto un- thought of as table delicacies, like wise are given prominent places in the food lists.
 Whale meat, which failed to win recognition in Canada until last sum- mer is being sold by the ton from Vancouver to Halifax. The Dominion food boards success in the campaign to market Pacific f1atf1sh is indicated by the official estimate that 3,5O0,000 pounds have been consumed in six months. Fishermen formerly threw away this fish.
 Until 1918 trappers retained only the pelts of beavers. The Minnesota campaign in behalf of beaver flesh as a food attracted attention in Mani toba and hotels in this province add ed beaver meat to their menus.
 Later someone discovered that chickens went wild over beaver" and resulting experiments indicated that a diet of beaver meat improved the egg-laying qualities of hens in cold weather.
 Wild rice that grows in abundance in the Northern Lake districts also was ignored until American and Can adian commission men in eastern cit ies began making steady demands for it. Canadian people started eating it after it lad gained popularity in ho- tels
 Odd outfit resembling sail boats have been constructed to thresh the fields.

LUTHER GETS OUT.
Handcuff King Manages to Release
 Himself at Police Station.

That the police handcuffs at the po- lice station can be escaped from was demonstrated this morning by "Lu- ther the Great who will appear at the Lyceum theater the first three days next week. In the presence of Chief Rawlings, Captain Grace and newspaper men, Luther succeeded i1 slipping out of two pairs of the cuffs in one minute and quarters sec onds. The cuffs were adjusted by Chief Rawlings and are of the mod ern and old time type.
 Luther was for many years with the famous Houdini, travelling all over the United States and in England, France and Russia. Monday after noon at 12:45 o'clock Luther will give a free public exhibition, when he will. suspended head downward, release himself from strait-jacket. The jacket used by Luther is of the Mat teawan type, and differs from the kind generally used by experts, that the arms ony reach 60 his finger tips whereas others are several inches longer than this. During his appear ance at the theater Luther invites any local person to tie him, bind him or handcuf him, and he claims that he will succeed in getting out of the ap- parent tangle

A MUSHROOM CITY.
Nitro, West Virginia, Sprang Up Over
 Night-COIIapscd As Soon.

Charleston, W. Va, Feb. 22.-When the United States entered the war u monster munitiOn plant was projected at Nitro, 1 f miles from here on the Kanawha river, and a city sprang into existence almost in a week. Twenty thousand mon were working there, and long rows of houses were built by the government to shelter it's em- ployes and their families.
 Activity at Nitro practically ceased at the signing of the armistice and thousands of men left Nitro and Charleston. The last developm ents are an inventory of the plant and equipment just begun, and the chang ing of the plant into an ordnance sup ply station. There are now only 1,6OO men here engaged in taking inventory and guarding the buildings. The war departm has recommended the raging of every other row of the bungalows so hastily constructed. This step has been ordered as matter or fire prevention.
 The wheels of the plant have been silent ever since the Hercules Powder co. turned back the industry to the government two months ago and no official announcement has been re- ceived from Washington as to what disposition will be made of the ex- psnsivs proposition

DINORCES FOR TWO COTPIHs.

Joseph Arickosky of this city was granted a divorce in the superior court yesterday, after Judge William S. Case had listened to his story. Ac- cording to the petitioner, he had been happily married for more than seven years prior to June 28, 1917. On that day he kissed his wife goodbye when he left for the factory. Mrs. Arick- osky, he alleged, fitted from his home on that date with Henry Egan of this city, who ArickOsky alleged was a draft stacker. He also claimed that the pair accompanied $500 of his. Subsequent investigations disclosed that the pair were residing in Buffalo, N. Y, as man and wife.
 After hearing further testimony in the suit of Floria Fabraizie of this city against Giovanni Fabraizie Judge Case decided that the woman was entitled to a divorce and he granted it.

HONORS COME EASY
Son of Archduke Friedrich of Austria Decorated For Bravery Was Never in Danger.
in Danger.

Vienna, Feb 1, Correspondence of the Associated PreSs)-Of how little importance and significance were some of the orders and deCOra tiOns bestowed upon princes and nObles during the war is indicated by a little story now going the rounds in Vienna. It concerns Alhrecht, the son of Archduke Friedrich.
 He was assigned to the front with a Tyrol Kaiser regiment but with in structions to the colonel and con ! mander that he must never be en- dangered. In 1917 the regiment had a strenuous battle with the Italians at Schluderbach and suffered heavy losses.
 When the authorities looked over the list of recommendations for dec orations after the battle it was noticed that Archduke Albrecht's name was not present. It was learned that he had been three kilometers behind the line during the fighting The colonel declared he could not cite him as one Of his bravest, since it would make ill-feeling among the soldiers and was was not justified.
 An order then was issued com manding the colonel to recommend Albrecht for the golden medal for bravery, and when the officer re- fused he was relieved from his com mand.

WOMEN TELL ABOUT
 AMERICANIzATI0N
It Is Principle on Which Welfare
 Of Country Depends

Those who attended the meeting held in the Grammar school hall laSt evening enjoyed a rare treat In hS'eH- ing to two valuable addresses oE women truly familiar with their sub ject, and who knew how to present their statements in an interesting dI'd appealing way. These speakers Ne'v' Miss Florence Hughes, of New York city, and Miss Helen Dow, an lnStruc- tor at New York University and member of the staff ot the 1Na'lo''' Alnericanization committee.
 Roth women were well qualified to nrosent the phase of the work as- signed to them, and the impression or the audience was that more women of their type would simplify the whole problem of Americanization ot women. Each emphasized that the first step is not with the immigrant, hut with ourselves. We need more understanding, sympathy. and pre- paration for the task that we under take.
 Miss Hughes spoke of successful America ization as the science of race assimilation, and called it the
 
 our country depends. She regards the home, the shop, the school, the clubs, the churches and the courts as the natural points of contact with the alien peoples. Many illustrations and narratives were employed to press the idea home that sometimes the newcomer is helpless in the need for adaptations that he does not know how to make.
 The mother has been marooned in the home and her family rapidly alienated from her because she had no chance to learn the language and customs of this country, said Miss Hughes. But she urged that one language does not mean that all languages but English must be taken from them, for many of them never learn to pray IT English and why should they?
 Much more emphasis has been given to physical output with em- phasis on the product of the hands
 than has been given to the individual or to the intellectual and emotional reactions. Especially must we learn how to make the immigrant mother feel at home in this land, and show her how to buy and to live or keep clean, if need be.
 Miss Dow told in a very entertain ing and instructive way how the desire to become Americanized leads the alien woman in industry to a superficial imitation in matters of dress and show, that are not always pleasing effective. The home class of women are frequently found at the other extreme where they are prematurely dom mesticated and en- slaved by early marriage and it's burders

Miss Dow explained in 1 consid derabe detail how a series of l lessons may be presented rather ] simply and naturally in the home by l anyone who has the sympathy and | tact required.

 The big difference between TM land and the states is your ladies. can speak to a lady here, high or without getting into trouble. If spoke to a lady in America, you dM arrested. There's something wE you are more democratic than are"
 The British interviewer said hoped the American boys wouls take home any wrong ideas al English girls based on some of tA encountered in the Strand and PiE dilly Circus.

ENGLISH SERVANTS
 ARE HARD 10 GET
War Work Has Made DOneStiCS
 Real Scarcity

London, Jan. 23 CCorrespondenc of The Associated Press.)-Time was when Americans, harassed by the servant problem, came to England to live. Here they could keep house in peace and sing the virtues of English domest1cs, making comparisons based on experience in the United States with servants of every race and color. They declared that from housekeeper and cook-general to nurse and be- tWeen-maid, the English serving wom- en had no peers-they worked harder better, longer hours, and with more willingness and for less pay than servants in any other part of the world.
 Now, many of these Americans are returning home. They have not mod flied their notions about English serv- ants, but they simply cannot hire them any more. England, as result of the war, is having her own servant problem.
 The trouble began when the serv- amt girls fiocked into war work Householders were greatly inconveni- enced and large numbers closed up their dwellings and moved into hotels. Others did their own work, expecting the servants would return when the war ended. But the fighting has been over long time now, scores of muni- tion factories have closed, and still the girls have not returned to their old employm ent. Whether they ever will return is a favorite subject of gloomy speculation at many a tea table.
 Of the hundreds of thousands of servant girls that responded to the call for patriotic service, very few, according to employment agencies. are going back to domestic work. For 13 weeks they have the $4.75 a week provided by the government until they find other employment, but unless the girls have homes to go to- that is scarcely enough to shelter and feed them.
 Many with aptitude and skill will continue at factory work, taking the places of men killed or crippled in the war. Thousands driven by rest lessness, will emigrate, it is believed, to America and to the dominions, to seek industrial employment not avail able to them here. Other thousands will marry soldiers when the army is demobilized.
 The majority, however, in the opin- ion of employm ent agency officials, will sooner or later have to return to domestic service.
 But, according to 8 woman spokes- man for the girls, it was the taste of factory life freedom, even more than novelty of high wages, that is the chief cause of their present discontent. She cited as typical the conditions under which chambermaids in big London hotel work.
 ''They receive" she said. "13 shil- lings a week for a working day of from 13 to 15 hours. Once a week they are allowed off from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until 10:30 o'clock at night, alternate Sundays from p. m. until 10:3O o'clock, and they are given a full day off once a month"
 Efforts are being made, it is said to form a Chambermaids union for the purpose of securing shorter hours better food and working conditions and more pay.

FEEDING THE MOTHER sow.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
The feeding Of the sow that has just
narrowed should be light for four or
five days, but she should gradually be
brought to full feed as the demands
Of the pigs and the milk flow increases.
Some of the coarser feeds may give
place to richer concentrates such as
skim milk, buttermilk, tankage, mid
dlings, crushed oats, ground barley,
peas and oil meal 1t is often cheaper
to buy these concentrates in a COM
mercial mixture when the proper In
gradients are difficult to obtain, or the
feeder is inexperienced in handling
them separately.
These feeds may be offered in a
watery Stop. The feeding Of the SOW
should be liberal, as at no other time
can the growth Of the pigs be pushed
so rapidly or economically.
