VICTORY TO SUPERIOR RACE
Teuton Hosts at the Marne Over-
whelmed by Men Possecsed of
Love of Liberty.
The following passage is from an
article entitled “The New Men and the
Old World,” in Inter-American. The
writer, Jesus Semprum, is a noted
Venezuelan man of letters, the author
of many biographical, historical and
Mterary works. He employs the alle-
gorical style of writing.
“Therefore, men died by the thou-
sand, from Nieuport to the black
Vosges,” writes Mr. Semprum. “An
advance here, another there, thousands
of prisoners, hundreds of cannon; but
the channel ports continued to be de-
nied them; Amiens and Chalons and
Paris unattainable in the distance.
The tired chargers went so far as to
drink the fateful waters of the Marne.
“Suddenly the wind of wrath blows
against the monarch’s hosts. In the
front rank fight with skillful daring.
the new men, like veterans seasoned
in long campaigns. Without knowing
the whips of the sergeants, the de-
stroyers of free will, without having
liyed cowered by the yoke of minute
and iron discipline, without calling
themselves the favorites of the Most

eran conquerors of the world and

their strength, their simple and serene
valor. They went forward at a quick
and measured pace, and under their
feet the soil of France quivered in the
Joy of liberation.
“The new men had arrived in time!”
YOUNG WIFE'S FIRST LESSON |
Mrs. Newlywed Evidently Beginning to |
Learn Her Household Duties
From the Ground Up.
The newly married man came home
from his office happy. He was greeted
as newly married men are greeted,
with a kiss, and this, in fashion of his |
kind, he returned with interest.
“Of course we shall go out to din-
ner, darling,” he remarked.
“Yes, dearest,” replied the happy
young woman.
“But one of these days we shall
have a dinner here, darling, shall we
not, of your own cooking?”
“Of course, dearest,” she replied, “1
am getting along famously with my
eooking lessons.”
“And it will be such a change,” he
eontinued, “from the monotonous fare
of the restaurants.”
There were more kisses.
“Did you take. cooking lessons to-
day, darling,” he asked.
“Yes, dearest.”
“And what: did you learn?”
There was pride In her tone as she !
replied. “Today, dearest, I learned how
to boil water.”—Ohio Observer.
! Something to Ilt—After All
The hostess had talked about her
wonderful ancestry until her guests
were bored to distraction. No one
made any comments, but still she was
determined to win some. So she turn-
ed to the young woman next to her
and said: “Isn't it splendid to have
an ancestry of which one can be
proud?”
The young woman, who was very
successful ‘indeed, smiled and calmly
rejoined: “TI really don’t know. You
see ve been 80 busy all my life try-
ing to do something worth while so
that my ancestors. should they sud-
denly come to life. would not feel
ashamed of me, that I've had very lit- .
tle time to hunt information about
them.”
Temperament and Watch.
That particular kinds of tempera-
ment exercise a baleful influence on
“Riches seems to be a common expe-
rience.
“I once ca#ied four in three
months,” writes a correspondent, “and
-all stopped. A watchmaker told me
“that they behaved as watches do when
the spring of the balance gets mag-
netized, though why they should have
done so he could not say.”
"he fact when mentioned to Prof.
Sylvanus Thompson, distinguished
electrician, noticed that the clock-stop-

to suggest that such movements proh- |

Washington. (Special.)—Through a
complete report of the work of the
American Bed Gross in the war by
Chairman Henry P. Davison, on be-
half of the war council, the erganiza-
tion on the eve of its annual enroll-
ment of members during the Third
Red Cross Roll Call, November 2 to
11, has rendered an accounting of the
many millions given it by the Ameri-
can people to help our fighting men
and our allies. The statement is, in
part, as follows:
“The war eouncil of the Ameriean
Red Cross is now prepared to make a
complete accounting to the American
people of meney contributed and ex-
pended, as well as the work done by.
the American Red Cross during the
| period 'in which the war council was
in control of its affairs. The war
council was appointed May 19, 1919,
and went out ef existence February
28, 1919, :
“It was the practice of the war
council to give complete publicity to
its policies and finances, but it is only
now that a picture of the war period
as a whole can be presented. It is
the feeling of the war council that a
i report in this summarized form should
be made directly to the public which
|
i provided the money and gave the ef-
fort which made the American Red
| Cross a success.
| “A statement of the American Red
Cross effort and finances since the
war council relinquished its control
will be made to the public through
the executive committee, and it is im-
portant, therefore, that the faet thai
! this report covers the period only until
March 1, should be carefully noted.” |

NEW DRIED FISH TO EAT
The United States Fisheries Bureau
has tacked on to its building in Wash-
ington an annex that is to be devot-
ed to laboratory investigations relat-
ing to the salting, drying and other-
wise preserving of aquatic food ani-
mals.
There are in the fishing industries
great wastes, due in part to the throw-
ing away of much good food material,
but also largely to imperfect meth-
ods of preservation.
Experts of the Fisheries Bureau have
newly found out how fish may be pre-
served by salting when the tempera-
ture is as high as 88 degrees. Thisis
accomplished very simply by careful-
ly removing all blood, roe (or melt)
and entrails as a preliminary. They
“go bad” at 20 degrees lower than
the flesh. .
Pacific coast fishermen are being
taught how to pickle herring by the
Scotch method, which will help to
make available incalculable stores of
food now unutilized. Europe is large-
ly fed on herring caught in the North
sea, and our own population might en-
joy an equivalent advantage by
drawing upon inexhaustible supplies
of the same kind of fish obtainable
from the waters of Alaska and the
northwest coast.
Experiments are to be made in the
preservation of = oysters by drying.
The Indians of the Chesapeake region
and tidewater Potomac, long before
Columbus landed, dried oysters in
great quantities in the sun, maintain-
ing an important trade in them with
tribes far inland. Thus the idea is no
novelty, and it would presumably be
applicable to clams as well. ;
The method adopted, however,
would probably be somewhat like
that recently tried for the drying of
mussels, warmed air being blown by
power-driven fans over and through
wire trays (on lattice shelves) con-
taining the “meats.” The mussels
thus “dehydrated”. were then put
National Duck Pond One of the
Sights of Washington.
One of the most interesting fea-
tures of the National Zoological Park
in Washington is the duck pond.
This pond covers perhaps half an
acre of land, is prettily set in trees
and shrubbery, and has been made by
superintendent Ned Hollister, the
home of a collection of wild ducks
and geese which are native to Amer-
ica.
Here the hunter can see the great
gray honker, the cackling goose and
the California wavy, the mallard, teal,
pintail and most of the other wild
fowl that he has shot from boat and
blind, all very tame and very much
at home. Each duck has had one
wing clipped so that he cannot get
over the fence, but this does not seem
to affect either his appearance or his
happiness. aaa
This spring a number of the wild
fowl brought out broods of downy
youngsters. A pair of Canada geese
appeared one day at the head of a
troop of six yellow goslings. Very
dignified children were these, too.
! They walked behind their parents in a
compact little troop, each gosling
picking up his feet very precisely and
, making complacent remarks to him-
i self in a minor key. When they en-
. tered the water it was the same way.
They swam in a neat row and never
strayed far from mother.
A few days later a little wood duck
came out with a brood of youngsters
—and what a contrast! Those young
wood ducks skittered about the sur-
face of the pond like so many water
spiders. Although no bigger than a
man’s thumb, they seemed to be able
to swim as well as anything on the
pond. Their fond mother never knew
where they were, and they simply
| sailed in joyous circles around those

| geese,

were thus made available at any time

A serious drawback in the case of
the mussels was that the product had
