Tut as are the changes which hare been wrought by the great war tbare are certain venerable and .U»ng-Jignded-down traditions which have yet been spared, the things . not important perhaps in the fates of nations but dear to {he hearts of ffaople. * . v Although the Austrian guns thunder on the shores of the stomp* Adriatic so near to Venice that her marble palaces Juiver on their" sea- laid foundations, yet the gentle pig eon for so many ages sacred to the Venetian saint still flutter uncon cernedly amid the arches of St. Marks. . * _ No heartless Roman Hoover has *• surestfheir use as a source of meat supply, nor are they selected as targets by Italian sharp-shoot era. Also under the shadow of the Capotoline Hill in Rome, the sacred Eagle still pines in lonely Captivity In its iron cage. If amid the tumult which rends Europe these honored birds escape and are given their ac customed protection, how it shocks the reader to learn that here in America we have flung tradition to the four winds of heaven, and that x' too. in the one spot of all America which' prides itself in having kept > the trade out of tradition. When Manhattan Island sold for a few strings of Wampum, when Chicago contained but two houses, and when St. Louis had not even been suggested the Turkey Bus- sard Was a sacred bird in Charles ton. !>oiith Carolina. Who has not gated in awe from the Battery at the majestic and aris tocratic bird as high above the har bor he winged his flight from the wilds of “Jeemes” Island to those unknown wilds that bold travellers tell us lie along Market street be tween Meeting and East Bay. And along the sacred eaves of the Charleston Market for how many centures have these haughty birds looked down upon the passing stranger from those curious lands between Line street and the 1’aciflc ocean. • T ' And now every member of the Charleston delegation votes that the buzzard shall no longer have .around him the protection of the State but thn it shall be permitted to shoot him on sight. At first it would seem that these men' had suddenly gone mad, that they .would never agaltf be suffered by their irrate fellow citizens to return to the City by the Sea, after having so outraged her law and tradition. ’But the*v> has been no such result. Not only are the men sane, but they have beef permitted to return home without causing riots or demonstra tions of any nature. And now at last the mystery is explained. Not content with being given the largest naval station in the South, the largest dry dock and the dozen other good things which the government has recently handed them, this grasping city has sacri ficed its feathered friends in the hope of securing the Only-Anti-Air- Craft-Traintng-Station-on-eavth No such station has even been es tablished on land or sea. as all avi- . ators have a natural disinclination to being used as targets and no sub stitute for them has ever been found, that is until these wiley Charleston ians realized the possibilities of their high flying friends. We firmly believe that such a scheme is at the bottom of the mat ter and that soon instead of being greeted by the sweet chimes of St. Michaels Sir Buzzard will be greet ed by puffs of hostile schrapnel from this new training station. And so the poor surprised, disappointed bird will fall into the cold waters of the bay’ a victim to the boundless ambition of the city which for cen turies he had adopted as his own. E. T. H.

THE NIGHT SHIFT J The u. s. says ve .• j AND IT ADDS* “Jo save does not mean to do without. Use vegetable fats instead 6f lard and butter in your cooking." V, /' TC / / 0 - i T HAT -is the direct appeal of your Government. It calls for no sacrifice on your part. —No sacrifice of nutriinjent because vegetable fats are rich, wholesome arid pure. • 1 ~ —No sacrifice in economy be cause vegetable fats cost less than butter or lard. The only change you are asked to make is a slight change in the way you cook—the shorten ing you use. Fortunately, the country has right at hand an abundant supply of nutritious vegetable fats—of which Cottolene is a well-known and dependable example. • * ' • ' vir The change from lard and butter to vegetable fats is both simple and patriotic. Cottolene meets the needs of wholesome cooking, the, requirements of economy, the wishes of the Government. / And what is the reason for the Government requirements? Simply this: “Pork, ham, bacon, lard, con densed milk and butter can be shipped in concentrated space” —to feed the under-nourished women and children in stricken countries—to feed our own fight ing men and the men of our Allies \yho are fighting in our defense. o’ o o W ITH these compelling facts in mind, is it not a clear duty to put patriotism above cooking customs and use the nutritious, econbmical vegetable fats which nature has abundantly supplied? Make your kitchen a patriotic kitchen and remember as you cook—every ounce of vegetable fat you use instead of lard and but ter may mean saving the life of someone somewhere in the world. tj.Hp.tt~ FA IR B A M K coMPAJi'r I / Patriotic Shortening -Of \ O T \ - m Positive Wife—John, wh' do yon talk in your sleep?
