"Wanna go on in house, but the ol' woman ish waitin'," forlornly replied the "suspect.'' "That's Uncle Sam's house, my friend," replied the sentry, seeing he had a "stew" and not a spy. '"Sh my house," insisted the one with the "merry mucilage." "C'n tell it by front gate." It took ten minutes to persuade him that he was wrong., There is a famous bridge near Washington where several months ago a man leaped down to his death. It is closely guarded, for It carries a big water main. Not long after the tragic occurrence, a night wanderer on the bridge came near losing his liberty when a guard saw him stop and commence searching carefully on the sidewalk. "Whaddye want, a good place to jump from or to put a bum?" queried the man in uniform. "I want my fountain pen I dropped; got a match?" was the answer. The pen was found soon, but remembering tales of explosive- pens discovered in abandoned German trenches, the guard nearly wrecked the inkspiller before satisfied it was not full of T. N. T.

HOOVER

I N ALL the land no housewife follows more closely the rulings of the United 1 States food administration than does Mrs. Herbert C. Hoover, wife of the

xouu aummisrrator. Tiie Hoover cook, who has a wide reputation in most

exclusive circles of Washington, was one of the first converts to the conservation of food, and one of the most ardent. A prominent Washington woman remarked soon after the Hoover household was established in the national capital : "Xou needn't tell me the Hoovers save food. I know the cook, and she couldn't be induced to economize." Nevertheless, after a time of sorrow and .of stress of wounded profes-

. sional pride the cook became under the direction and persuasion of Mrs. Hoover, as enthusiastic ove: producing delicious meals with the least possible outlay of wheat, meat; sugar and fats as the strictest "HoovorttA" r-nnirf wtci

Almost every day is meatless day with the Hoovers, poultry, sea food or occasionally game replacing the beef or other meats that may be shipped across the sea. The servants, of course, have to have meat oftener, but, for the family perhaps once a week, generally less frequently, there is a roast for dinner and what is left over is carefully utilized in some form for luncheon the next day. Sometimes a chop is provided at that meal for. the ten-vear-okf son, who is recovering from a recent illness. Meat is never bought for soups which are made from vegetables or the parts of poultry not served the wintips, feet, neck and gizzard.

t only are Tuesdays and Saturdays porkless days, but the other five days of the week as well, despite tho confessed fondness of the food administrator for his, breakfast bacon. Pork, either as ham, bacon, sausaire lard or in other forms, never enters the big red brick house on Massachusetts avenue, where the Hoovers are domiciled. For cooking vaiaous vegetable oils or other substitutes are used for lard and butter. '
