Anyhow, his I exploits were as thrilling as any < pirate tale, and. best o f all, the story is trne and is told by the c chief acto> himself. « There*Is gallantry and heroism , a-plenty in ,the record of Count 5 Luckner. who sank 14 allied ships t without the lose of a single life, t He turned an .old American « schooner into a raider that sailed r through the allied bloeade die- « gulsed as a Norwegion v lumber t carrier. A sailing ship as a war cruiser was unprecedented in * these modern days, and the very c audacity of the attempt helped its success. j The'cruiser was sunk, finally,F not by enemy flra, but by a tidal a wave, on an isolated.

I t is a time when the green succulent vegetables are m o r e scarce and difficult to purchase in the markets. Great care must he taken in the preparation and serving ot such vegetables as opiona, parsnips, squash, carrots, turnips and oth er similar vegetables because-.of the dislike which many paopie have'for dmm. There ^ y many methods of cooking tn#old standbys, the root vegetables, other than Just boil ing. Make yourself fam iliar with the household pages in the var-.

Wom an’s place is no longer restricted to the home, with a large share of her time spent in the kitchen. The modern woman does not neglect her home. In fact | she has made home life more invit ing and more inspiring than ever before, because she has develop ed an extremely efficient ’ degree of scientific management. She is a devoted mother and wife, ideal, and yet has more time for herfeelf than ever before. Not so long , ago .bake d a y meant a day at home and most of it in the kitchen. Baking is now a matter of minutes rather than hours, thanks to Calumet, t h e world’s greateta Baking Powder. Just to give you some idea of the time and the energy that can be saved through the use of an efficient baking powder, let us suppose that you were to make a batch of biscuits. It would re quire only ten minutes to bake, demanding al] told only twenty minuteH of your time. It makes possible greater baking speed and also a far finer quality of foods and enable the housewife to sup ply her family with healthful and easily digested' bakings. It also enables her to devote more time to her own personal inter ests.

According to astronomical authorities in Lon don, te eclipse today will be visi ble in practically all parts of the eastern hemisphere and in the northern part of North America. A<member 6f the Royal Observ atory in an interview with the United Press this morning re» garding the eclipse said as fol lows: ' "Today’s eclipse should be vis ible at Greenwich a few minutes after the sun has set. The most interesting feature of the eclipse to most people probably wll lbe the changing in colors which will be observed. As a rule the moon is almost invisible to the^nakeS eye at the beginning of the eclipse but as it continues, the moon, in stead ot being totally dark, exhib its different colors. In some plac es it is bluish or greenish although generally speaking it is of a var iable copper shade.
