In Basgall's new store building the

"Gift Shop" Friday and Saturday,
December 13 and 14th. Many use
ful and artistic gifts are being made
by the students of the art department
for the shop. Nothing will be priced
at more than one dollar and there
will be many pretty things for twenty-five
cents. The gifts are such
that they can be substituted for the
T
kHE one time of the year when everyone buys gifts for the ones
near and dear-to them. A rift to brintr lastintr cheer and han-
piness to the recipient must be serciveable and substantial.
Jewelry, the most appropriate af all gifts, not only gives years

In studying the potato, Miss Fau
bion's Domestic Science class has dis
covered some interesting things in
connection with the potato and the
conservation of food.
One of the most effective means of
conserving the wheat supply, thus
aiding our government and our allies
and incidentally conserving our cash
resources, is the more liberal use of
potatoes in the family diet, substitut
ing them as far as possible for bread.
Potatoes, of course, contain a ereat
deal more water than does bread,
but in starch and energy one medium
sized (six ounce) potato is about
equal to two slices of bread weighing
one ounce each.
The potato should not be consider
ed a vegetable but a breadstuff, such
as wheat and other Similar grains.
Its food value should not be con
fused with that of many green vege
tables with which it is usually classi
fied and which are valuable chiefly
for the minerals they contain. In
fact, the potato, by its importance in
the diet of mankind the world over is
entitled to share with bread the title
of "staff of life."
Since the potato is such an import
ant article of food and since the gov
ernment has made the appeal, "eat
more potatoes and less wheat bread"
it is essential that the potatoes be
cooked in the most economical way.
The most comon way of preparing po
tatoes for the table is pare and boil,
but this is also the most expensive
way, because a part of the food value
is lost in the paring, and a part is
boiled out of the potato. Unless the
water is used this is lost. It would
be better to steam the pared potato,
as there would be no loss except from
paring.. However, the most economic
al way of preparing potatoes is to
enner doii witn tne jackets on or
bake. Possibly bakinsr is the most
economical way of all as there is ab
solutely no food value lost and if
properly washed before baking, the
sitms wmcn win serve as Dulk can
be eaten.
THE GARDEN OF ALLAH
"No one but God and I knows what
is m my heart."
Twilight was falling over the Sa
hara. Underneath a jamelon tree,
overlooking a winding track in the
sand, down which a camel driver was
disappearing, leaving behind him the
faint echo of his monotonous soner
sat-a woman. You would have called
her a beautiful woman who knew
what sadness was, from the look
which veiled her face.
A moment before she had kissed
her boy and watched the servant car
ry him into the house but now she
was looking over the desert thinking.
As she looked the mounds of sand
and the hills in the distance faded
away. She saw the years rolled
away. She saw, as one would upon
a stage, those happenings that had
gone before.
She saw him, as she had first met
him on the edge of the desert a man
shrouded in mystery, sad in the midst
ol pleasure, silent and reticent. She
saw him as she had seen him many
times before the mosque, the faintest
flicker of bitterness plavine about his
lips as he heard the moaning of pray
er irom withm and turned his back
on the sound.
She saw him as he had appeared
that day upon the river bank, when
the gilt wooden crucifix had become
uncovered. She saw the fire of mad
ness that sprang into-his eyes, and
she heard again the muttered oath
as he cast it from, him into the turgid
stream.
She saw him avoided in his power
by men. and walking silently and
alone as if there was no one upon
the earth who might understand what
hung about his throat. She saw all
that had taken place in the years af
ter they had met-
Once more they were in the lone
some reaches of the desert togther,
and night had fallen. It was said of
the waste of sand around them that
the Arabs came there to forget and
it seemed that he, too, had forgotten,
for they had been supremely happy.
Then once more she suffered as she
had suffered when she learned of the
memory that had haunted him during
all his silent days.
Again - the monastery walls con
front them. Again the old, white
beared monk pushed upon the creak
ing, heavy door. Again he stood be
side her, looking up into her eyes and
in his eyes she read peace and under
standing. Again she bent down, as
she bent down that day, and pressed
her lips against his brow. Again she
saw him turn and enter the gate,
which closed between them forever.
As she sat beneath the jamelon
tree, and gazed over the desert, and
thought these thoughts, the voice of
another Arab driver of camels came
floating up to her, and the vision fad
ed. And her heart joined with his
lips in the words of the song:
"No one but God and I knows what
is in my heart."
The German metod of evacuating a
town in Belgium or France is de
scribed by eye witnesses of the pro
ceeding as follows: First the popula
tion is assembled in some hall or
some neighborhood, under guard.
That means everyone, men women
and children, rich and poor. Then
the German officers go through the
houses pick out such things as they
care for pictures, object of art mu
sical instruments and the like and
these things are carefully packed and
sent to Germany. Then the private
soldiers are sent into a loot and cloth
ing, furniture, carpets and hangings
are taken and sent back to Germany.
Afterwards the houses are stripped of
woodwork, rough furniture and any
articles that may be of use in the
trenches for fuel or other comfort,
and finally, as fast as a house is
stripped, a chunk of dynamite is
placed in the center of' the building
and the place is wrecked- CapitaL
