In August of 1916 he went into Ger
many to make a study Of the prison
camps throughout that country. At the
time there were ''reprisal camps" IN
Germany where allied prisoners were
treated with inhuman measures.
BY obtaining many letters from Ger
man officers and others held in France
and by the expose of the reports, Gar
rett convinced the Germans that these
camps were unjuStif1able and should be
discontinued. They subsequently were
During his career Garrett has held
many posts. In 1901 he was secretary
OF the American legation at The Hague.
From there he went to Berlin as secre-
tary of the embassy and later was
transferred to Rome as first secretary OF
the American embassy.
Then he was envoy eextraord1nary
and minister plenipotentiary to Vene-
zuela, Argentina and The Netherlands
and Luxembourg. He has been repre-
sentative Of this country to many inter-
national conferences. His last great as
signment was secretary of the limitation
of ornaments conference in Washing
ton in 1921-22.
About 81 years Of age, Garrett is
man of great personal charm. He
wears a closely cropped gray-black beard
and walks with limp.
His early education was gained chiefly
in Europe, where he travelled extern
sively with his family. At the age of
10 he returned to the United States
and entered Princeton and was grad
uated in the class of 1895.
While at Princeton Garrett was in the
cast of the Triangle Club, which pre-
scented at that time the popular farce

ton wrote and in which he took lead
After his graduation Garrett went into
the Southwest on one of the archeo-
logical expeditions that Princeton was
so attached to New Mexico that he re-
manned there ranching for the next five
years.
He is immensely wealthy and entered
Diplomacy by choice. He Is a member
of one of the largest banking houses In

Home in Good Taste
BY SARA HILAND.

There are a great many home fur
nishers who have tried hard not to
be modern" In their tastes because
they thought 1t was extreme; now
these same people are gradually In
cooperating in their schemes various
articles showing a strictly modern note.
First came lamps. They were sucn
a relief from the h-trimmed, be-
laced and beribboned shade of few
years back that they were welcomed
as conservative, and they were not q
bit less modern than some of the small
tables that were scoffed at in the same
breath as the lamps were praised. 1t is
the subtlety of this modern trend that
is bringing us to accept 1t almost I'M

Meeting all Of the Government depart
ments, including the White House.
But Roosevelt did not continue the
precedent set by Mckinley. Rarely did
he use the telephone except in an emer-
gency.
President Taft, however, found the
service O great convenience and used
both the local and long-distance tele-
phone extensively.
Coolidge was liberal user. In fact,
1t was over the telephone that arrange
ments were made for him to take the
oath of office as Chief Executive before
his father in Vermont. The phone, in
this instance, was installed at his
fathers home two hours after Hardings
death. All during his administration
he used this system OF communication
extensively.
But Hoover has outstripped them all.
He had been in the White House only
q few weeks before the old system was
discarded and the present elaborate
facilities were installed.

Meals Made Ready Immediately
By LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

Of foods ready to prepare. The latter
Is essential for the usual emergency
meal where no previous preparation can
be made. But in the case of the meal
that can be set on the table within q
few moments after returning home, and
which Is designated as the immediate
meal, preparations for it should be made
beforehand.
If hearty salad is to furnish the
main DISH 1t can be nearly ready be-
fore leaving the house in the morning.
The meat can be diced. or put through
the food chopper. The celery, radishes,
or other vegetables to be combined with
the meat can be washed and diced, If
required, The lettuce can be washed,
shaken and put in the lettuce bag and
all be set in the refrigerator. The salad
dressing should also be made and be in
readiness in the refrigerator. A fruit
salad can be nearly ready II wanted
for dessert.
If the main dish is to be a hot
one, the f1reless cooker is a boon to
the housewife. The food can be slow
ly cooking all day and be ready to dish
up as soon as the woman returns from
work. There are various types Of these

Tt will be seen that whether hot or

rarely ever used this system Of COM
nunication. Nor did Cleveland. At
that time there were but few Govern

they were fairly closely located. Mes
senger service between these depart
ments and the White House seemed to
answer every purpose.
During Cleveland's first term there
were two telephones serving the White
House executive offices, but they were
seldom used. But by the time he re-
turned for his second term every Gov
eminent office was connected with the
main telephone exchange. There were
frequent calls over the several tele-
