It is that the Senator may know more about the cooking in men who true these homes than the youns proudly sit astride high revolving chairs before counters in dairy lunch rooms. But he may not know in American homes, it is home cooking ing, nonetheless, and that is what all The Senator is probably arguing for preparedness. He would want the American housewives help raise strap- ping young men for the army by giv- ing them those things to eat that are strength and On the theory heart probably true that the way to win over the en- tire outfit is to improve kitchen condi- tions and have better food all around. The Senator minces no flaying of the cooking homes. Here he makes the thrust: “It is/a crime and Is wicked in the sight of God, to have the pro- ducts of the made next to less by poor cooking. conducive to fostering happiness of heart. that the road to a through man's is his stomach, it is words in his done in most is how farm us Tens of thou- sands of homes are ruined by help- less and ignorant housekeepers, and the American garbage can is the fat- test in all the world.” Homes ruined by bad cooking! Heavens forbid! But the Senator must have some reason for an bringing such accusation against American housewives. If he has facts and fig- ures, he should produce them, other- wise order an investigation by the fed- eral government. Yet the learned statesman from far-off Utah will en- counter great difficulty in making the average man believe that the cooking at home is not what it should be. If such a thing should happen, if men come at last to the conclusion that homes are being wrecked b: petent cooks, we suggest this simple expedient: Turn all the home-fed men loose for one or two weeks and make them eat in the quick-lunch rooms When they go back home, if they ever do, there would be no agalnst home cooking. incom- complaining RICHARD HARDING DAV Newspaper men the country who had known and come with Richard Harding Davis will de- plore the sudden death of this unique figure in their profession.

The Regulars who never grow weary of following their captains never stop going behind their colors. The Regulars who march all through the night as no other soldiers march, and are fresh for fighting, work at sunrise. If the American people only knew how these Regulars do their work— after wild Indians on the plains, after run-amuck Filipinos in the Far East, after outlaw Villa’s in Mexico! A Coote, a Miles. a Pershing on that hunt by day and by night does not need thousands of troops to meet the enemy. He uses regiments and cquadrons and platoons to stop up the loopholes where the quarry might try to slip through. The detach- ments for this purpose are flung far and wide, just if ratholes were being closed until the fugitive must go only one way because there are no others left open. Then will come his hour to turn and grapple. All the while there is a small flv- ing column hot on the trail. It never stops. A Crook, when the su- preme moment comes, circles be- tween two twilights a hundred miles of Western plains around the foe and astounds him by appearing in his front when he was supposed to be in_his rear. A Miles plunges his black cavalry through deep snow- drifts to Wounded Knee. And a Dodd sends his squadrons—no doubt ridic- ulously few in numbers—galloping at the heels of Villa’s bandits until he strikes his fangs into the outlaw flank, never to let go.
