COPETTES AFTER
DEAD EYE DICK
D. C. Policewomen Busy
Learning How to Handle
Revolver and Rifle.
BANG!
"Darn It! I missed the paper
square!"
X sound and a sentence heard
frequently when the members of the
woman's bureau of the Metropolitan
police force, under the direction of
Inspector Cross, gathered to be In
structed In properly handling a re
volver or rifle.
For the past three weeks the girls
have been busy burning powder and
slinging lead in the National Indoor
Rifle Range, under Poll's Theater.
Incidentally the stage hands in that
playhouse are bordering on nervous,
prostration.
Although timid about pulling the
trigger of the regulation six-shoot
er, the girls are rapidly getting in
the Dead Eye Dick class, according
to police officials.
Slanders Numerous.
Many blunders were made when the
fair markswomen first started to
practice. ' Standing with feet about
three feet apart, eyes shut tight, gun
clasped tightly In both hands, and
waving from one end of the shoot:ng
rail to the othf i\ the girls endeav
ored to better the amateur record for
shooting at invisible objects, namely,
the stage hands.
The regular markers and scorers at
the ranee declare a national holiday
every time the girls come to practice,
and in spite of the Intrepidity of the
inspector, he invariably gives Instruc
tions from the shelter of a dividing
wall between the range and the
locker room.
Bit Off Ballets.
One girl, when she first went out.
became highly indignant over the fact
that apparently no lead was included
in the cartridges that were furnished
for target practice, since they didn't
hit anything. But Inspector Cross is
said to have proved to her that the
guns were loaded by permitting her to
bite one of the bullets. After that ex
perience she again took heart, and is
now one of his most promising pupils.
Yesterday she made four bull's eyes
and the instructor in his enthusiasm
rame out from his hole in the wall
and commended her very highly on
her markmanship.
KENILWORTH PLANS
TO WELCOME HEROES
A home-coming reception is being
planned by the people of Kenilworth
to be held as soon as more than
thirty men from that suburb return
from France.
J. S. Diggers, a member of the
finance committee, says that the way
the citixens are getting together on
the movement indicates success
ahead.
The plans will not be completer
until all the men are back. Those
who are still in France are: Capt.
Phil Brown. John Petrle. Lantz
Watts. Richard Shaw and Percy
Hetswell.
Take Up Plans Today

business men's section of the ex
ecutive committee this afternoon to
adopt definite plans for the clos
ing week of the campaign to raise

John's College.
The figures handed out last night
follow: James T. Ryan. $110: Bro
ther $1881 M A. Keane. $1,020.
G. G. Mancan. $454: Headquarters.

There was a dance at St. Domi
nic's Hall last night and next Thurs
day at the Columbus Country Club.
Representative Kelly Will
Welcome "Iron Division"
After having witnessed the bravery
of Pennsylvania's "Iron Division." the
Twenty-eighth. in action under a ter
rific fire at Chateau Thierry, Con
gressman M. Clyde Kelly has been as
signed the pleasant task of delivering
the welcome home address to the boys.
H*? left here last night for Pitts
burgh. where the coming-back cere
monies will be held tomorrow.
Mr. Kelly will also deliver an ad
dress at Wllkinsburg. Pa., which had
the best record in the United States
for the number of men furnished for
the war with Germany. The records
show that one man out of every ten
of all ases in Wllkinsburg served in
the army or navy. Out of a popula
tion of 30.000 the city furnished 2.M
fighting men.
Change of Hours Loses
300 Charwomen's Jobs
Approximately 300 charwomen em
ployed in the State. War and Navy
Building were discharged yesterday
due to a change in working hours
instituted by Capt. Frank W.
Hoover, of the office of public build
ings and grounds.
Capt. Hoover explained that the
change of working hours resulted in
finding 300 charwomen who were
not needed. He added that this
change was not due to the lack of
Congress appropriating funds for
their salaries.

Coffee Prices Doubled.
. f
Coffee prices on the New York Cof
fee Exchange have been advancing
by leaps and bounds of late, with
some options soiling at the highest
level ever recorded. Since last fall
price* have doubled. During the cur
rent month nearly 30 per cent has
been addod?_ with subsequent reac
tions.
The sensational market is laid to a
world famine in coffee caused by war
conditions. Transportation facilities
were limited so that merchants could
have only 50 days* supply, and the
price was virtually ??pegged" at 10
cents a pound. Frost last fall nipped
the growing crop more severely than
usual, and this has been a contrib
uting factor in the price advance.
South American growers have a vir
tual control of the market.
Upward Movement Rapid.
Not since 1887, when two successive
crop failures occurred, has the mar
ket moved so rapidly upward. July
options, which sold at the beginning
of the month at 19.30 cents a pound,
rose to 24.65 cents, an advance of 5*35
rents. September was 19.13, and
reached 24.55. That the trade looks
for continued high prices is Indicated
by December options, which sold this
week at 24 cents, against 18.45 a few
days earlier. Lower grades of coffee,
which sold to retailers at IB to 18
cents a pound around armistice day,
now cost from 35 to 38 cents. A lead
ing brand, which sold for 28 cents
then, is now 43 cents wholesale.

Can Yod Think of Anything More
Delicious Than a Properly Made Salad
Be its chief constituent what yOu wish?meat, fish, fowl
or vegetable?if the dressing is properly made nothing ojy
equal it in gastronomic delight. /
Ah! properly made. There's the rub. There are so many
mixtures?and so many uncertainties in the mixing.
Make it yourself? Well, you haven't yet struck the right
recipe?or they don't seem to work out just right. There is
always too much of one thing or too little of something else
The component parts don't seem to mingle in that delicious
oneness where each flavor is blended into one delightful whole.
That is the trouble that most amateurs find in their own
dressings?and diners find in most of the mixtures made by
professional cooks, some personal liking of the prepater of
he dressing sticks out too prominently.
A perfect balance of all the flavors?a perfect com
mingling of tastes?is absolutely necessary for the perfect
dressing. And that can never be obtained by teaspoon
guesswork or uncertain eye measure. You must know the
right ingredients, the exact proportions and the correct
method of mixing
Or You Can Use Royal Mayonnaise
