FASHIONABLE RESTAURANT MEN j
DENY GOUGING OF THE PUBLIC!
-
- I
LONDON, May 8 — Proprietors of the fashionable
restaurants in what is known as the West End have been
busy writing letters to the newspapers in an ellort to
counteract the criticism that they are fleecing the now
partly-! ationed public. The grievance of the public is
that thev are charged as much and sometimes more for
the smaller dishes than they paid for the larger ones be
fore the days of compulsory.rationing. Nor have the eat-!
ing places made any allowance for the fact that they no
longer scrvesugar and butter. Increased war-time cost
of labor and tablewear is given by the restaurant propri
etors as justification for their action.
The head of one of the most expensive Strand hotels,
popular with Americans, takes the line that the gross
profits of his place are less than in pre-war days. The
increased cost of labor and materials has. he says, made
necessary the extra charges for less food, lie deals ex
haustively with the subject a letter to the papers, and
gives a tahie which shows that table-linen and ocher
articles have been trebled in price since the war.
Before Kaiser Wilhelm goes into the business of re
storing thrones he should nail down his own.—(Chicago

MUFFLER CAN BE
| PUT ON THE HEE
HAW OF A MULE
PORTLAND, Ore., May 8 — The
resounding “Hee-Haw” of the Ameri
can army mule awakening the echoes
and making nights hid h us almost
anywhere in Fiance, can be prevented
in simpler fashion than by operation
upon the ‘hroats of the animals, to
which the French veterinarians are
said to resoit, according to F. S. Akin,
a Portland pioneer. A little bag of
sand, attached at night to the tail of
a mule will prevent it from emitting
its blatant bray, he declaies.
Mr Akin’s knowledge dates back
to the early days of Oregon, when !
mule team drivers found this way of j
keeping .heir siumbers from being dis
turbed. The theory involved is that
in order to bray with success and
w mte l harmonv, a mule must str'tc**
its neck and elevate its caudal ap
pendage to the horizontal. Denied
this privilege, by the weight of a
small ro ?k or sack of sand, the beast
fails t*' vocalize its thought.
The same principle is involved in
the better-known expedient of putting
a low roof above a rooster’s perch,
thus preventing it from stretching its
reck to greet the dawn in approver
chanticleer fashion.

The old-fashioned serious man who
couldn t he led into temptation now

And when it comes to saints and
sinners, sometimes it looks like the
former do all the worrying for the
latter.

UNITED STATES NAVAL GUNNER IS
WINNER IN DUEL WITH GERMAN SUD
l -
WASHINGTON, May 8 — The Navy Department re
ports a fight between the American steamer Tidewater
and a German submarine in which the German undersea
boat was bested and probably sunk. The attack on the A
merican ship occurred on March 17th but was only report
'd today when the steamer returned to an Atlantic port.
The naval gunner aboard the Tidewater made the report
that he fired three shots at the submarine at a distance of
two miles and he and the other officers aboard the steamer
believe that the third shot hit as the submarine failed to
! appear on the surface again.
