Washington Sentries Have Many Amusing Encounters
WASHINGTON. Contrary to general belief, tho sentries guarding Wash
ington's military establishments, bridges nnd public buildings arc not
automatons. They enn and do saunter, tnlk, lough and otherwise act like
human beings. But not on duty. But
If you can chum up with the chap In
khaki nt nn opportune time, you muy
bo told some funny thlifgs all about
strnngo prowlers seen on the midnight
trick, sinister-seeming contrivances
discovered under culverts, olllcers
whoso Identity Is mistaken und other
things.
A few nights slnco n half-frozen
sentry before tho aldo gate of a big
military establishment here beheld a
solitary nnd stooping figure creeping
nlong nnd eying the portal dubiously. This kept up several minutes, nnd
Anally tho guard thought It time to Interfere. lie approached the suspect
"What do you wnnt nround here?" he nsked nfter tho end-eyed person
had halted, ns directed, swaying slightly.
"Wnnim go on in house, but tho ol woman lsh wnltipv' forlornly replied
the "suspect."
'Thnt's Uncle Sam's house, my friend," replied the sentry, seeing he
hud n "stew" nnd 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 wns wrong.
There Is a fnmous bridge near Washington where several months ago n
mnn leaped down to his death. It Is closely guarded, for It carries n big wnter
main. Not lorg ifter the tragic occurrence, n night wanderer on the bridge

ing carefully on tho sidewalk.
"Whnddye want, u good plnco to jump from or to put a bum?" queried the
man in uniform.
"I want my fountain pen I dropped; got n match?" wns the answer.
The pen wns found soon, but remembering tnles of explosive pons dis

New Rules for Stenographers in One War Office
NE office of tho war department doesn't believe In Instructions savoring
of red tape. So regulations have been evolved for stenographers. Grently
Increased eflicleucy is expected to result. Here nre the rules to be followed:
1 Conserve nlr by eliminating
some of tho unnecessary conversation.
2 Conserve shoe leather by re
maining at your desk; remember you
are supposed to.be a stenographer, not
u floorwalker.
3 If you're hungry, go out nnd
get something to cut; don't hang
around chewing the rug.
4 We have wheatless nnd meat
less days; let's have footless days.
Keep your feet on the floor, not on
your desk.
fi Don't acquire tho saving habit to such un extent that you go home
with your pockets full of paper clips every night. Just hecauso you write
shorthand, don't think you have got to be llght-flngercd.
0 If you feel that you must whistle during ofllco hours, plenso whistle
something German, so that tho rest of the office will have an excuse for drop
ping a typewriter on your head.
7 Any person or persons having ns a part of their lunch llmburger
cheese will kindly adjourn to the roof until tho ordeal is over. There is n
strong reason for this.
8 If you feel that you must tnke home a typewriter now nnd then, please
leave tho desk. We cun get new typewriters, but desks are hard to get.
0 Just because they nre using n lot of ammunition in Europe, don't think
thnt you have to powder your nose every ten minutes.
10 Make tho world safe for democracy; stop throwing milk bottles oul
of the windows.
11 As Abraham Lincoln said In his famous Gettysburg speech : '
"Eight Ilours a day for the man who works,
Seven hours a day for the government clerks."
12 Save a loaf a week. Just because you have a crust, don't say you
can loaf around this office, even If you aro well bred. Don't come 'in here
with a bun on, either.

Mrs. Hoover's Cook Becomes an Ardent Hooverizer
IN ALL the land no housewife follows more closely tho rulings of the United
States food administration thnn does Mrs. Herbert O. noovcr, wlfo of the

exclusive circles of Washington, wns
ono of tho first converts to tho conser
vatlon of food, und ono of tho most
nrdont. A prominent Washington
woman remarked soon ufter tho
Hoover household wns established In
the national capital :
"You needn't tell mo tho Hoovers
snvo food. I know tho cook, nnd sho
couldn't be Induced to economize."
Nevertheless, nfter a time of sor
row and of stress of wounded profes
slonul pride the cook became under
tho direction nnd persuasion of Mrs. Hoover, ns enthusiastic over producing
delicious meals with the least posslhlo outlay of wheut, meut, sugar and futH
ns the strictest "Hooverlte" could wish.
Almost every day Is meatless day with tho Hoovers, poultry, sen food or
occasionally game replacing tho beef or other meats that may bo shipped
across tho sou. Tho servants, of course, hnvo to huve meat oftener, but for
tho family perhaps oaco a week, generally less frequently, there Is a roast for
dinner and what Is left over Is carefully utilized In some form for luncheon tho
next day. Sometimes a chop Is provided at thnt meal for the ten-year-old
6on, who Is recovering from a recent Illness. Meut Is never bought for soups
which uro mado from vegetables or tho partH of poultry not served the wing
tips, feet, neck nnd gizzard.
