McCall Pattern No. 7821, Ladies' and Misses N r• r+ g AT TI R RRITISF1 ADMIRALTY TIM SEAR HAS WROUGHT MANY RADICAL CHANGES. Some Interacting Details on the Head- quarters Organization of the Greta Silent. Service. In no department of the British Government have four years of war wrouvlet more dramatic changes than at the Admiralty, whoso ancient, blade-we•ttthered (runt now conceals a veritable mining city of shiny, tin - roofed huts. Back of the old Admirnity front, a front of the most venerable beauty, there are huts on the roofs of the three other sides of the rectangle of Admiralty buildings, huts filling the quadrangle within, acres of huts along the Mall which slants from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace past the hack of the Admiralty rec- tangle, and even the pelicans on the lake hnve been dispossessed, their lake drained away, and its bottom concreted to make the fonndetion of a but whose occupants are known at the Admiralty as "the lake dwellers." Even the old houses adjoining the original Admiralty buildings have been taken over as rapidly as its war needs demanded more, and ever more, space, The Admiralty, where the brawn of the Royal Navy finds its brain, now employs (1,400 persons. When war broke out, it was getting along very nicely with 1,020, but nowadays the total of its women alone is more than that; number—some 2,000. Within the original Admiralty buildings, the demand for more work- ing room has caused even some of those quarters most sacred to British tradition: of the seas, to be invaded by typists. The First Lord has mov- ed nut of his luxurious, but ancient apartments alongside the Admirulty, and the department which organizes certain questions dealing with the German submarines has moved in. His state -rooms with their fine white -and - gold decorations, and his dining -rooms lined with fishing and hunting tro- phies, are given over to secretaries and typists.,. Where Nelson Ruled. Lovers of tradition, however, will still find on the first floor up the mag- nificent Board Room, which still serves, as in Admiral's clay, for the meetings of the Lords Commissioners. Here tradition still reigt a supreme. Between the portraits of Admiral Nel- son and King George IV., looking se- renely down from opposite sides of the room, is the long mahogany table carved out in a semi -circular form at one end to allow, tradition says, for the corpulence of a former First Lord, nround which gather the First Lord, the five Sea Lords, and the four Civil Lords, who constitute the Board of Admiralty. The most instantly striking feature of the great old room is its monument - el chimney -piece, surmounted by a massive, carved -oak frame, in which every nautical appliance is depicted, intermingled with groups of fishing children, and centred with a very complicated compass card, whose needle was connected to a weather- cock mounted on the highest chimney of the Admiralty buildings, enabling the Lords of the Admiralty (who are still, as they have been for centuries, the lords of the seven seas) to know even during their deliberations the speed and direction of the winds. Be- neath it, on the ledge of the chimney - piece, are still the two long sticks mounted with golden apples, used by the beadles to make a way for my Lords the Commissioners of the Ad- miralty. It is rumored that plans have been drawn up for a new Admiralty build- ing, and it is not improbable that, af- ter peace is signed, work will be com- menced on a structure to supplant the present beautiful old building. A BOAT WITHOUT A CREW. treed on Belgian Coast to Destroy Shipping. One of the most uncanny inventions used in this warp.as been the German electrically -controlled motor boat. It is controlled ley mien on the shore, be- ing attached to twenty miles of fine electric cable, working from a drum, and can travel at thirty miles an hour. It contains no men, and its bows are loaded with a great amount of high explosive, ready to detonate or contact with any object. This has been used by the Germans on the Belgian coast, nisi range the see an s n ns, and when y y p g which they want to destroy they start the boat off from the shore, and send a seaplane with it at the same time. The seaplane sends wireless messages giving steering directions to the oper- ators, who, by manipulating their ap- paratus, control the course of the 'boat, and ships twenty miles nett to sea are chased, its it were, by a head- less man—by an empty boat with an apparent brain of its own, and loaded with a toerifie cargo of destruction. It is not a pleasant sensation, Wherever the ship turns, the motor- boat turns, too. All guns are turned on it. The seaplane above controls the boat beneath.

Frequently the mud is so deep that mechanical traction is helpless. In many cases no wheeled carriages of any kind can move. In such cases pack animals have to be used. So well are these conditions recog- nized that, in spite of the tremendous weights of heavy artillery material and the slowness and difficulty of moving them by horse traction, it is considered that only half the heavy batteries should have mechanical trac- tion. An army must still have animals for all its cavalry, the usefulness of which is far from disappearing; it must have horses for all its light field artillery, half its heavy field ar- tillery, and all its regimental and di- visional supply trains. Incidentally, every regiment of in- fantry must have several hundred horses and mules. The more the question is examined, the more two facts stand out. The first is that certain work in modern warfare can only be done by horses. The second is that the number of horses needed Minaret's Liniment aurae niehtheria. for armies which are counted by the millions must be counted by the loan- Food Dealers Licensed. dyads of thousands.

As a matter of fact, their uses are not exhausted when they have been served as fresh greens, made into salads ur boiled according to custom. Much of the sugar and mineral con- tent, so valuable and pleasant to the taste, is generally last in cooking be- cause women do not study ways and means to conserve it. None of the elements should be wasted. For in- stance, carrots, corn, peas, beets, are rich in sugar and the water in which they are cooked should be saved for soap. Spinach sheeuid always be cooked in its own juice and every spoonful saved. Onion water may be u .•d for gravies and soups. Delicious scup is made ley siramer- ing potatoes "diced" with skins left on, peas, onions and seasonings. A thick puree which is eombined with u thin rream sauce is made of this com- position. Peapods and the cobs from which uncooked corn has been cut may be used to advantage in making soup. Minard'e Liniment Cures Colds. Etc.
