The work of the latter organization | now comprises more than twenty de- | partments, and is carried out by Amer- | ican women who were residents of | Great Britain before the war, many | of them the wives of Englishmen and { the others wives of relatives of Amer- | icans fn business in this country. | Mrs, Whitelaw. Reid, widow of the | former American umbassador to Great | Britain, was a pioacer in the work af | the American Red Cross in this coun- | try. | The American Red Cross has pro-} vided a number of hospitals in Great | Britain, some of them established be- | fore America entered the war, for the | use of the British wounded; others ef | tablished since that time for the ace | commodation of both British and | Americans, One of the Best. One of the finest is the Mossley Hill hospital at Liverpool, which is staffed , by American army doctors and nurses | under Maj. Udo J. Wilo, formerly pro- | fessor of surgery in the University of Michigan, Another American hospital de luxe in London is the new naval hospital on Park lane, which occupies Aldford house, the home of Capt. Frederick Guest, M. P., who placed it at the disposal of the Red Cross. There are several other American hospitals in London, notably the Lan- caster Gate hospital for officers and American Hospital No. 24, -given by | Mr. and Mrs. A. Chester Beatty: of New York. But the largest of all the American hospitals in Great Britain is that at Sarisbury court. No more ideal spot for the purpose could be imagined. Standing In a great park of 186 acres of thickly- wooded coverts and gently undulat- ing pasture lands the grounds dip down to a half-mile frontage along Southampton waters. Already the woodland acres of the estate are resounding with ax and saw and several hundred trees have been _ selected to furnish the heavier tim- ber and joists for the hospital build- iugs. With the Manor house as apex, these cover over ten acres of frame hutments. The contracts signed by, the Red ‘Cross provided for the opening of the hospital with about 400 beds available | in six weeks from the time the work started. Tente to House Sick. During the pleasant English sum- mer thése tent wards will be very com- fortable and agreeable, and long be- fore the first chilly weather of autumn comes the frame hut wards, steam heated, will be ready. It‘is possible that some of the tents will be retained for the use of convalescents or for overflow purposes in the event of a big offensive on the northern part of the western front. The hospital will have its own elec/ tric lighting plant and water supply. There will be probably a double sys- tein of water supply, water from the river being used for ordinary purposes, while special distilled or spring water will be used for drinking purposes and in the kitchens and operating rooms. The Manor house, which will be the central building of the Sarisbury hos- pital, is a large and handsome build- ing of what Englishmen call modern | wartime Solomon to solve in squarely | facing the issue of “bottomless pies” construction, inasmuch as it dates back only 35 years.

It is difficult to believe that any human could sink to th depths of depravity attributed to him, but in the wake of his threat, he has destroyed costly interiors, torn up libraries of ex- pensive books, smashed pictures, and even pulled apart the teddy bears and dolls of the children of France. The German soldiers did up packages of wheat heads gathered from the fields and “souvenirs” from French dwellings, all ad- dressed and waiting shipment by the imperial government to Berlin. the American soldiers. Many of these packages of loot have Been recovered by are large enough to’ be available for use as wards containing from six to 16 beds each.

Strolling northward he will cross a broad meadow and a lit- tle patch of woods to the hospital pig- gery and chicken farm, and just be- low this he will come to the boat- house and the jetty, where he may dangle his legs just above the water and sit fishpole in hand, with good prospects of a profitable catch. If he chooses to stroll northward from the main hospital buildings he will find the forest denser and wider, and at the cthez side of the forest he will come to the hospital vegetable gar- dens and greenhouses, Now It's Bottomless Pie, When is a pie not a pie? is-a ques ‘tion which will tax the wits of some as a measure of war saving of food- stuffs in the latest Hooverized innova- tion of baking for the nation. The movement to remove the bottom crust from pies is being taken hold of by | housewives and bakers generally, and is gaining wide support. New York is a pie-eating city. It i& estimated that an entire pie is eaten between 15 per- soys daily, or a total consumption of 500,000 pies each day in the metropgli- tan district. In one year the collective | stomachs of New York’s pie-eaters ab- sorb 182,000,000 of the dainties. Some one with a penchant for large figures has gone so far even to state that the | bottom crust of those pieces, if rolled | out with a large rolling pim across a 40-acre lot, would in a week cover the surface of the field and lap over the fence posts. On the basis of 4,000,000 pies eaten by the entire nation each day, at the end of the year the bottom crust of the pies would form a strip of crust nine yards wide and long enough to enciréle the globe at the equator.

He hae hunted devilfish with Colonel Roosevelt, and eaught the splendid .specimen of devilfish from. which was cast the life-size model now to be seen in the American museum, He has just sent to the museum an In teresting report of-.his work in the shark Industry in North Carolina: “You are delaying a surprising treat by not soaking the salt. out of that. whipray and eating it. I have found I have eaten, and monkfish excellent. “But the very finest shark, or In fact fish of any kind that I have ever eaten’ wag a young man-eater. Its flavor’ is quite similar fo that of a big fat white shad. I made an entire meal off of the man-eater shark. “The same day I,had made a break. fast of monkfish and porpoise milk, :as- Thad just caught a cow porpoise with a very small calf. Porpoise milk may be all right ‘for those who Hke ‘t;-but I dfd not much care for it.” 2 In describing the flesh of the man- eating shark on which he dined ag noted above, Mr. Coles said: “In color the flesh was a distinct rich light pink salmon. There was an almost round strip of nearly black extending along In the pink flesh on each sidé of the back. I ate both the pink and black flesh and found both excellent. “E got the shark from the net while itywas still alive. A native fisherman and his mate reported to me that as they hauled up their sink net while 1 was taking the sharks from my big. shark net ‘near them, and about the moment that the young one was caught, they brought up a monstrous shark having a similar tall, which was4 as long as their 25-foot launch, and that it fought so violently that they. quickly cut loose a large piece of their net in which it was ‘entangled and Jet it escape. “Although these two .fishermen: are men of good standing and well knows. to me, I hesitate to accept statement of this kind, which involve the siz -a fighting shark, from any but a few ot the best-trained observers. “I have: prepared the meat of the man-eater for sthoking, its hide for the tanner and have made oil of its Ifver.” Although at first shark meat for food was viewed with prejtdice by the gen- eral public, ft has sold in no small quantities, ¢ven in New York be where the price a short-time ago wat 14 cents per pound.
