Tremendous Output of Ammunition
is Pointed Out by David
Lloyd George.
That the Teutonic allies are turning
out 250,000 shells a day was one of
the startling statements made by
David Lloyd George in his great
speech in the British House of Com-
mons a few days ago in moving the
adoption of the munitions of war sup-
ply bill, The Minister of Munitions
said in part:
Superiority of "Men:
"We have an undoubted superiority
in men—(cheers)—in numbers—and I
am assured by all those -who have
been at the front, that it is not mere-
ly a superiority in numbers, but in
the quality of men—(cheers)—and,
. therefore, it is purely a question of
equipping them with the necessary
amount of material to support their
valor in the attacks which they make
on the lines of the enemy. I heard.

"That is very nearly eight million

victory is the accomplishment of that
aim with the least possible waste of
time. (Cheers.) Any obstacle, any
mismanagement, any slackness and
indiscipline, any prejudice which pre-
vent or delay mobilization of all our
resources at the earliest possible mo-
ment postpone victory. The question
which in the Ministry of Munitions we
have set ourselves to achieve is: Can
we achieve that purpose? I say that
we can accomplish that object of not
merely equalling the German and
Austrian output of munitions, but if
we are in earnest we can surpass it.

crossed the threshold of our possibili-
ties. :
Temporary Preponderance.
"Germany has achieved a tempor-
ary preponderance of material. She
has done it in two ways. She accumu-
lated great stores before the war. She
has mobilized the whole of her in-
dustries after the war, having no
doubt taken steps before the war, to
be ready for the mobilization of the
workshops immediately after the war
was declared. , Her preponderance in
twoor three directions is very not-
able. I mention this because it is es-
sential they should be understood in
inviting the assistance of the com-
munity to enable us to compete with
this formidable enemy. The superior-
ity of the Germans in material ' was
most marked in their heavy guns,
their high explosive shells, their
rifles, and perhaps most of all their
machine. guns. These have turned out
to be about the most formidable
weapons in the war. They have almost
superseded the rifle and rendered it
unnecessary.
Germany's Preparedness.

lem of mobilizing our resources for

Household Hints.
If peas"are a trifle old, try boiling
them with a lettuce leaf aiid a table-
spoonful of sugar in the water. '' '
Summer bed spreads should be
made of material that is easily wash-
ed. There' is nothing prettier than
the inexpensive dimity.
Tin is an undesirable material for••
a coffee : pot, ` Tannic acid acts oil
such metal and is apt to form a poi-
sonous compound. -
To- iron raised lace, place it be-
tween blankets. Or do not iron it at
all. If not ironed it should be
stretched, while wet,with, a pin at
each point.
A very satisfactory way to mend
shirts that are worn around the col-
lar band is to sew a narrow yoke to
fit :the -neck and to come just below
the worn place.
If the fire is . running low'' and a
quick oven ie needed, try opening the
oven door, filling it with cool fresh
air. Then close the oven door, and
it will heat much more quickly.
To remove water spots from a
dress dampen it in lukewarm water;'
Place a piece of Cloth over water
spots onright side and press until
both pieces of material are dry.
When making baked or boiled cus-
tard, the milk to be used should be
scaldedand set aside to cool. Then
make the custard in the ordinary way,
and it -:will be perfectly smooth.
To fry bacon so as to have it
straight, light, brown and crisp, invert -
a, perforated pie tin over a larger pie
tin, lay slices of bacon smoothly over
the perforated tin and place in oven.
An even brown color is obtained as
the grease trickles into the plate be-
low. This method prevents any spat-
tering of the stove. The bacon is.
evenly cooked and the grease is per
feetly clear for frying eggs. This
method - is --a great advantage when
one uses oil or gasoline, especially as
the cooking of the bacon can be com-
bined with the baking of muffins or
other things.'
Zinc is often the hardest/ thing in
the house`, to clean, especially under
.kitchen stoves, where it becomes bad-
ly discolored. One of the simplest
and surest methods is to dry; thor-
oughly the zinc and then go over it
with kerosene oil, which must be al-
lowed to stand over night. In the
morning this should be wiped_ with a
soft cloth, and more kerosene applied.
The oil eats out all the grease : and
dirt which adheres to the, zinc and
makes it white and spotless. Zinc -
lined. sinks or bathtubs can be treat-
ed the same way, but must be thor-
oughly dried afterward.

LONDON HOME,
IK'ept a Coffin With an Engraved
Nameplate as a Mascot in
as Upper Reom.
Thausan• *ho had never beard of
rnnhes e ! Trost knew her quite
well 6y -sot. The curious relic of
bygone days regularly drove in the
park, dressed in figured silks worn
over an ample crinoline, and a poke
bonnet perched on bunches of white
curls, which she wore on each side
of her beautifully tinted cheeks.
Mme, Trost, with her early Victor-
ian ."getup, was ostensibly a beauty
specialist with an exceedingly aristo-
cratic clientele, who patronized her
"Beauty Shop" in the West, End, and
many of her clients even visited her
at her beautiful house. at Marlborough
Gate, Hyde Park.
The "business” was inreality
merely a blind. 1VIme. Trost' was for
over twenty years in/ the pay of the
German Government,, and utilized
those wonderful parties at 4 Maribor
ough Gate for . strictly "political" pur-
poses. There 'she mingled freely with
many' people who were in a position
to give information such as she need-
ed and was skilled in extracting.
The "Lady of the Crinoline," as she
was called, has been unmasked, and
London will see no more: of her Vic-
torian gowns and poke bonnets. She
has been deported as an undesirable
alien.
Last December she moved to the
house at Marlborough Gate, where
she lived in considerable style, with a
staff of seven servants, including a
butler, whose dignity of mein 'was.
the envy of the neighborhood.
It was about this time that ma-
dame suddenly removed all external
signs of her manicuring operations
from her "shop" and displayed an
elaborate facia indicating.._. that she
was "Bertha Trost, dealer in an-
tiques."
n-tiques. "
House of Mystery.
But the real centre of interest was
the mysterious house at 4 11'iarl-
borough Gate. Here the beauty spe-
cialist installed furniture and hang-
ings of a most elaborate kind. Every-
thing was decoratede
ia"
in rich tones of
pink, and the paying guests were ;
conducted from room to room, some-
times by girl pages attired in rich
robes of the Louis XVI. period, what
time Mme., Trost was in her favorite ;
pose as Marie Antoinette.
Some say that she actually claim-
ed to be the reincarnation of the
French Queen. Certainly nothing
pleased her better than to parade her
magnificent rooms and display to her
guests, ofttimes a curiously diverse
assembly,a gorgeous' silk gown,` an
exact copy of that worn by the un-
happy Queen.
Dressed in this •striking fashion
she would drive through the streets
in a landeau drawn by two Shetland
ponies. Later she favored a pair of
perfect grays.
But the finest touch of the bizarre
about Madame Bertha was her,
"vault," as the irreverent servants
called an upper room. This room
was hung with sombre black cur-
tains, and in the centre, mounted on
trestles, was the most elaborate cof-
fin that undertakers ever made. It
was of polished rosewood, finely
worked and fitted with massive sil-
ver mountings. On the name -plate
was delicately engraved ` "Bertha
Trost."
filer favorite entertainment was a
reception "to view my mascot," as
she termed the coffin, 'and' She ex-
plained to the startled guests that
she kept it near at hand to reconcile
her to theidea of death.
Was Still Handsome.
Speculation as to the origin of
Mine. Trost was always rife, but she
never avedetails of her earlyyears.'
Although - fifty-five years of age, she
still retained signs of the extreme
beauty that was hers in youth. It.
wasaa rumored that,for certain reas-
ons,
.
ons, she' was told some' years ago by
the Austrian authorities thattLondon
would be a more •desirable home for
her than Vienna. .
She came into special prominence'
a few weeks since by driving wound-
ed officers out in the parks, and the,
polite then warned the hospitals`, and
military against her. Mme. Trost
filled her house night after night`
with dinner parties at which the
guests wars usually rich men and
young and pretty girls. Nothing was
lacking that could appeal to the vo
luptary and it was some of these`
orgies to which 'officers. on Leave from
the front were sometimes invited.. It
was this which' .first attracted police
attention. ,
