EDES REQUEST ID FOR HONS Stockholm, March 31 One request that America br-ould send food 1o Germany was drawn up here by a deviation of medical scientists repre se. .jnj? two hundred Swedish physi cians who asked the American Minis ter, Ira Nelson Morris, to forward it to President Wilson. Ths petition was supported by the report of Professor J. E. Johansson, a nutrition exper , whose investiga tion of the German situation has been in progress since 1915. He declared that tuberculosis In Germany has in creased 100 per cent. Basing their argument, on this statement, the Swedish doctors in their petition said serious epidemics might be expected to spread through the world from Germany unless food was soon sup plied to the German people. Since the Swedish petition was prs sented to Mr. Morris, Germany, has agreed to surrender her merchant ships to the Allies and the latter have promised to send food to Germany. LAM B AND MUTTON. The difference of a few cents in the cost of a pound of meat frequent ly determines whether that meat ap pears on the table In many houso holda. Tet that difference of a few cents Just as frequently is caused by the limited kno-vUdse of the house wife of the meat which she desires. Take the cost of mutton and lamb; it is regarded as high. But the avpr-bouse-wlfe who so regards it speaks only In terms of chops and hind-quarters. The fore-quarter of mutton in Just as dainty, Just as full of flavor. Just as eatable in every way if it is properly prepared. It also Is many cents cheaper per pound. Your butcher. If he Is up-to-date, knows how to bone and roll a should er of lamb or mutton so that it may be cut Into Saratoga chops or made into a roast of unusual sweetness. Breeders of sheep have paid more attention to raisins a better flavored meat in the last few years, and their efforts show clearly in the resulting product. Borne objectors to lamb and mutton say that they cannot eat it because of the "woolly taste," and that they knw of no way to remove it. That is merely a case of pulling the wool over your own eyes. If the fell, or tough outer membrane that covers the meat, Js -removed, there will ' be io "woolly ate." Ton are taking bo chances when traLfor5l March 31.

REFUSES Gl Coblenz, March 31 (Correspond ence of The Associated Press) Eighty big calibre German guns re fused by the United States receiving commission because they did not meet certain modern standards have been sold to a Coblenz foundry and are soon to be made into farm implements and other peace time machinery. While some of these cannon were cast as long ago as 1870, all had been used in the -cent war, several of them having done duty against the Americans in the Argonne drive in November. After the guns had been refused by the Americans members of the German delivering; commission requested that they be permitted to dispose of the war material to a foun dry. The request was granted with the understanding that the cannon would quickly be melted into pig iron and that none of thin would be used for the manufacture of fire arms. Virtual y all of the material which the Germans were to turn over to the Americana according to the terms of the armistice has been delivered. Considerable objection to the estab--lhsim'-ii-. of an eight foot ienice line on Alain street from the Beardsley property to Broad-bridge avenue was expressed at the hearing before the selectmen on Friday night. Judge Frank iL. Wilder of Bridgeport and Architect Fred Beckwith appeareid1 for Olof Ch.riitia.nson, the owner of the c-ld Sellec-k property, and told of what a hardship it might be if the fbuild' inga on the property were eight feet from the fence line. Many .branches of trees were 'blown off, stucco from the Ed. Thompson house on Alain street torn off, a large poplar tree uprooted on Church street and a house partly erected at Par- adise Lawn twisted albout during- the Revere storm of Friday night. It will be necessary to tear down the house at Paradise Lawn. One of the most serious hits of dam age was 'd'one to the WeTb ice houe at Peck's Mill, the whole east side of the house being blown down. Cats are of value and the fbill to register and taer all felines over six months old pending in the state legis lature is harmful according to the Housatonic Grange of this town which has had circular letters sent to the other granges about the state asking' that they influence their represent atives to do what they can to kill the bill. The members of the grange say that the cats are useful in keeping rats from barna and- fields. CHARLOTTE BRONTE. Charlotte F-ronte, famous as the author of "Jane Eyre," died 64 years ago today, bought the Societe des then a bride of less than a year, hav ing been married in the previous June to Rev. Air. Nicholls. It was in 1852 that Miss Bronte was surprised by a declaration of love from her father's curate. She was then seem ingly a confirmed spinster, a literary celebrity to whom fame and fortune and love all came too late, since she had wrecked her health in years of toilsome service as teacher and gov ernA3 and in looking after her father. Rev. Patrick Bronte, ar.d her sisters. The curate's affection was re turned by Aliss Bronte, but her father objected to the match, and the daughter dutifully obeyed and refus e1 the curatra offer. The latter re signed his pos: and went away broken hearted, but after a time the father relented and Mr. Nicholls resumed his post and the marriage was performed in June, 1854. The few months that followed were the happiest in her life, hut death soon robbed her of her joy. you order lamb.

Herbert Corey, the war correspon dent, was the first American to enter Germany after the armistice. In the course of a twelve-hundred-mile trip through the defeated Empire, he in terviewed all kinds of German citi zens. Their statements, he tells us in Everybody's for April, can be reduced to the following formulas: " 'There would have been no revo lution if Germany had been vic torious: ' 'A winnir-g war would have made "Germany the greatest' country and the Kaiser the greatest man In the world: " "The war was popular in Ger many until September. Then it was discovered that the war was lost. As soon as that was fully realized the revolution followed; " 'Ludendorff and von Tirpitz lost the war. They should be punished; " 'Ludendorff's errcr was the dissi pation of our energies over too great a field. The offensive of 1918 was a mistake ; ' 'Von Tirpitz forced America in by his submarine campaign. Then he did not prosecute that campaign with sufficient vigor to make success possi ble; " 'The Kaiser has talked too much. He made enemies for Germany. In the end he proved a coward and ran away. He can never come back.' "In all this there is no hint of pen itence. Not one of the innumerable men ,1 talked ' with suggested that Germany had been in the wren in 1914. This is of especial importance in view of fhe fact that many of them did admit," In answer to- ques tions, that Germany f oreed the war on the world. Not one criticised the German methods in the war. Only one man of prominence criticised them by Indirection. He attempted to explain them. Not one expressed the slightest regret for the sufferings of other nations." Cheero!
