as dry as the Great Sahara.
| Fellow bootleggers are losing all
honor" such as is boasted even
| after the capture of the Orduna some
of its officers had turned states evil
dence. hoping to get light sentences
for themselves, whatever happened to

them that their sentences would be
| measured as they measured the truth
and the whole truth in their testi-
mony.
Not only is this vessel seized but

erty officers are even now lying in
wait to enlighten the world that the
American Constitution and federal
laws will be obeyed by aliens as we'll
as Americans. Three other first
class ocean liners will also be taken
as soon as they again enter our jp-
riSdiction. for the evidence is each
case is already complete.

In other countries. as well as IN
the United States, capture and 'libel'
of alien ships for violation of Gus
toms laws is not unusual. but never
has so great vessel as the Orduna
been seized. If. in addition, the 9th
err three ships be taken, the proceeds
will run into millions of dollars ana
the seizures will create Worldwide
sensation.
The outstanding feature of the sit
uation, however, is not the amount OF
tion to the world that the United
States law-inclusive Of it's prohi-
btion Of liquor--can no longer be
fouted. From the day when the
seizure of the Orduna was made the
shipping world took an absolutely
changed attitude regarding respect
While the Orduna incident differs
materially from the acts of the boot
legGers in Rum row-the vessels hoy
ering just outside our three-Ini1e
ocean liner becomes a warning to all
such that they may look for drastic
enforcement hereafter
X x X r
There is now pending a treaty
with Great Britain, which has already
been ratified by our Senate and which
the State Department expects to be
ratified by Great Britain within
few days, whereby this country will
have the recognized right of search
and seizure of any suspected British
vessel within one hours sail from
any American port. instead of the
old International limit of three miles
In consideration of that extension of
the right of search, this country will
permit British vessels to enter our
ports with liquor under seal in their
ships stores, the seal not to be
broken until after one hours sail out
of port.
In case such vessels undertake to
evade the sanctfty of the government
seals by getting possession of and
using duplicate seals to hoodwink. in
spectors. they will do so at their
peril, for they will be subject to
seizure, regardless of the new pact.
No protest has been made by the
British government against enforce
| ment of our laws. The phrase "one
hours sail'' makes the limit fit the
speed of the vessel concerned. Other
| nations will be asked to make agree
tments with the United States similar
to that of Great Britain.

Detective Stories.
1 am yearning for the glory Of the
obi detective story
That we used to read in happy days
gone by.
Where the villain worked obscurely
and expressed himself de.
murely,
In an effort to evade the public eye.
Hints of underworld collusion now
arise in such profusion
often roams.
When he studied dereliction, it was in
the form of fiction
How we miss our old companion,
Sherlock Holmes!
No one halts the action frantic with
an episode romantic
To express himself with literary
charm.
No one. as he solves riddle, stops
awhile to play the fiddle
Just to show he feels no personal
alarm.
Bona-fide reputation feared no Cross
examination
That might range from subway
passages to domes.
Mr.. Doyle, so influential with folks
now non-residential.
Can't you give US back our dear old
Sherlock Holmes.

starch and borax and rub this we'll
into the threads of the lace. Cover

and lay the article away for three
days. Then shake and brush it
thoroughly and it win look like
new.
Prick the skin of baked potatoes
as soon as they are done. This
causes the steam to escape and
makes the potato dry and mealy.

Though there arc large NUMBER
Of pickles to be bought at the shops,
there arc some homemade varieties
thar are not often found among
them.
Quick Pickles
Select 80 finger-sized cucumbers.
Wash them, then arrange them ia
4 crook and cover them with
brine made of half cupful of salt
and cold water to cover them. Let
them stand overnight, rinse them
thoroughly, cover them with cold
water to which a teaspoonful of
powdered alum has been added and
let them stand one hour. Rinse
them thoroughly and drain and
pack them in crock, placing a
spice bag in the center. Pour over
them enough scalded cider vinegar
TO cover them, press them down
with a plate and let them stand
in a eeol place for two or three
days. Then the pickles will be
ready to use. After 10 days, re-
move the spicc-bag. In the spice
bag should be cloves, six whole
peppcrcorns. somc broken CHINA
mon sticks, blade of mace, two
cardamon seeds. a few fennel seeds
aud a piece of taragon root. If
the spice bag is not removed after
10 days, it may get Shiny and lose
its flavor. If the pickles should
show ANY mould, drain them and
rinse them off in warm water and
drain them well. Next scald the
vinegar and turn it over them
again.
Swce. Picked Cucumbers
Select large cucunabers and pare
and quarter them, then halve the
quarters across. Remove the
secds. cover them with boiling,
sailed water, let them stand for five
minutes. then drain them careful

quart of vinegar, and a pint of
sugar. Add spice-bag made as

broken cinnamon, a. thinly-slieed
lemon with the pips removed and
a. piece of green ginger root
washed and thinly sliced Let the
mass boil gently for five minutes,

cucumbers and cook them untll
they are tender, skinming them
carefully. Lift the eueumbers with
a skinner and drain them Boil
down the syrup until it is thick,
thenf place in jars and seal the
jars The pickles would probably
keep in a crock. but it is safer to
seal them.
Spanish Chutney
Select so large, smooth toma-
toes and place them in boiling wa
ter long enough to remove their
skins. Cut out the stem ends and
chop the tomatoes. Peel and chop

panies needing it. EquipmeI,
then will work a greater part of the
time. Many small companies may
find that they can buy power. from
the system at less than it costs to
produce it in a small plant. In
which ease they close their plant
and continue to sell power on a
larger margin of profits. If a com
pany, on the other hand, can pro-
duce more cheaply than it can buy
from the system it continues to
produce and only buys power in an

then gets its power for less than it
is now paying and is therefore in

producer continues to operate exact
