How to Plan a Picnic
A picnic, whether it be large or small,
ought to have a manager, who will see
that provision is made for the neces
saries of the excursion, and not leave
them to chance.
A party of young people may go out
for a picnic, and, if no plans have been
discussed, are liable to find their baskets
well supplied with cake, doughnuts, and
perhaps pie, but with little of the sub
stantial food.
In the first place, select, if possible,
grounds which are somewhat near a
dwellinghouse, as many things, such as
water, milk, ice, dishes and cooking uten
sils may be obtained there, and thus
save the necessity of carrying them.
Arrange for this beforehand, by letter
or interview, so that you may be certain

of these requisites at the time they are
desired.
Decide what will be appreciated in the
way of food, and then portion out to
each one their share in the amount of
provisions.
Sandwiches of ham, tongue, sardines
and chicken are a good foundation; cold
boiled eggs are almost universally liked,
and buttered rolls and biscuit are easily
disposed of.
Then there must be a plentiful supply
of good home-made pickles, with cheese,
cold coffee prepared with sugar and
cream, lemons and sugar for lemonade,
and cold tea without sugar or cream, and
all these may be safely carried in fruit
jars, if carefully packed.
For sweets, tumblers of jelly, marma
lade or jam are delicious with buttered
biscuits, and fresh fruit will be found
most grateful. Avoid taking pies or
much cake, as it invariably arrives in a
mussy-looking condition.
Ham or other variety of meat sand
wiches, to be at their best, require the
ham to be finely chopped, seasoned, and
spread evenly over the surface of but
tered bread, which should be cut less
than a quarter of an inch thick. Potted
ham is not expensive, and is very satis

For the comfort of the older ones, take
along several of the Japanese rush mats
that may be purchased for about ten

will be understood. Children under lfl

Italian transports.
One of these big U-boats attacked the
Roval Mail steam packet Demerara on
July 3 off the coast of Spain and sank
her with a torpedo. The passengers and
crew were all saved and it was stated
that the Demerara had gone down in
shallow water and there was a possibil
ity of salvaging her after the war.
The officers said the Germans had
been trying to get the Demerara ever
since June 3, 1915, when she sank a sub
marine with gun fire off the Portuguese
coast while on her way home from
Buenos Ayres.
Capt. G. S. Gillard, who was in com
mand at the time, received a reward of
$2,000 from the British admiralty for
being the first merchant service captain
to sink one of the U-boats; the German
admiralty offered a reward for the cap
ture of Capt. Gillard, and he afterward
got a shore appointment with the company.
The Demerara was a twin screw
steamship of 11,484 gross tonnage, built
in 1912 in Hartland A Wolffs yard at
Belfast. She was 500 feet one inch
long, 62 feet beam and 40 feet depth of
