FAT is STILL GERMAN LUXURY
People Turn to Candies and Pastries
as Substitute for Meats of
Old Days.

Berlin.-Fat, one of the chief essen
falls of cooking in Germany, has come
to be such a luxury that only persons
with "fat" pocketbOoks can afford it.
At the end of October lard was cost
ing 1000 marks a pound, while butter
was bringing only $50. The imports of
hog fat today amount to about two
thirds their prewar volume and Ger
man farmers complain that they can
not fatten their porkers now as for
merly because they no longer get the
nourishing Russian barley feed.
Consumption of meat in Germany is
now only 43 per cent Of what it was
before 1914. People are turning more
and more to sweets for a substitute
Chocolate candy, particularly, is in
growing demand Fruits and pastries
are in high favor and slices of bread
are now spread with preserves or mar
malade, where formerly they would
have been eaten with a thick coating
of butter, margarine or lard.
Goose was a leading meat in the
old days, because of its unusually
large grease content, but even this fa-
vOrite has suffered heavily. In prewar
times 100000 geese were imported
every year as compared with 9,083
during the first twO-thirds of this year.

RETURN ENGLISH GUN
Mortar Has Been at Governors
Island 148 Years.
Sent Back to England as Token OF
Amity by the American Army
Owners Never in Action
Against Americans.

WaShingtOn.-An ancient brass NOR
tar bearing the royal cipher "GR,"
which has filled a peaceful role at
Governors island, New York, since
the days of George II of England, has
found it's way back overseas to Eng
land and into the hands of its original
owners, the Kings Royal Rifles, St
Rode, BOurnemOuth.
1t was sent over as a token of am
ity by the American army and in re
ply, Secretary Weeks has received a
message from George V of England
honorary. colonel of the old British
regiment, expressing a feeling OF
"comradeship existing between the
military forces of the two English
speaking peoples"
The weapon is one of those known
as "Coehorn mOrtars," brass 24-pOund-
ers long out of date, and was left at
Governors island inadvertently in
1774 when a battalion of the royal
American regiment, a British colonial
force organized in 1855 with men from
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania
was withdrawn at the outbreak of the
Revolutionary war and sent to
Jamaica for service. Later, after
service in other British colonies, the
regiment reached England to be re
named the Kings Royal Rifles, but
retaining at the same time its old
designation in the British army, the
Sixtieth foot.
Some years ago American officers at
Governors island, led by Chaplain
Edmund B. Smith, investigated the
origin of the old mortars used there
as decorations and conceived the idea
of returning the old COehOrn to its
real owners in the British army. II
had never been captured nor had the
Rifles ever been in action against
Americans. An exchange of cOurte-
sizes followed. Standards of the Brit
ish regiment under which it had
fought, and a signed photograph OF
King George V being presented to the
chapel at Governors island.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Greenwich
Village is going to have its dark
spots polished by the police and
the judges.
Most Of the village Is perfectly
all right" says Judge Jean Norris,
who presided in the roundup by
the police OF twenty girls and ten
young men in what the police call
a Joint" But there are a few dark
spots the Judge added.
"It would be a good thing II we
had more raids OF this Sort" she
said, ''not alone in the village, but
in other parts Of town where i'm
proper dancing is permitted,
s "The fearful thing about such
places is that they lure innocent
young persons looking for adven-
ture. The sort Of dancing INDUCED
In in such places 10 so dangerous
to the morals Of girls and boys that
even when they go there for a per
fectly innocent time they are likely
to drift into bad behavior. The po-
lice detective testified that the room
where the dancing takes place IL
about twelve by ,twenty-six feet.
Fifty persons frequently were seen
dancing In this space. The pastures
assumed by many Of the dancers
are horrible, and young girls 60
from table to table offering to dance
with strange men.
1.-THE girls who were caught in
this raid were respectable, Of good
parentage and well educated. The
boys also were youths who had good
opportunities In life, some Of them
Princeton boys and students OF
other colleges. That ie the tragedy
of such places, that they attract
girls who want to have q good time
and who become habituated to evil
associations and indecent conduct.
