COTTON Waste Invaluable in War

engino-driverS. \ plentiful supply uf
oiled waste is almost as necessary to Il
guns crew as is ammunition.
Similarly. the ''pull-through' with
which thc soldier cleans out his rife is
just Cotton-waste tied to the end of a
piece of string of suitable length. Also.
should he be wounded the injury will
be dressed with medicated absorbent
cottonwood, which is waste again under
another name; and the bed which he
will presently occupy in the base hos
pital will be covered by sheets and a
counterpane into the composition of
which waste largely enters.
The wadding in a British soldiers
tunic is just waste, and it is also used in
this form to pack -innumerable kinds of
war stores, to prevent damage in
transit.

THE price Of cotton waste has in
creased enormously as result Of
the EuTOVcan war. The reason is
that its uses in warfare are manifold.
One kind forms the basis of cOrdite,
while another variety is used in the man
ufacture of celluloid. which is the prin-
cipaI ingredient in the incendiaTy discs
used by the Germans to set FIRE to towns
and. villages

lJnsinkabIe Boat

a RECENTLY invented unsinkablc sail
~ boat has a rounded bottom and
- broad beam, similar 10 dinghy.
while its top is deCked. The craft is fit
ted with an auxiliary motor. Two leavCd
doors in the deck are opened when the boat
IS right-side up. while It's passengers sit
in the hold. When a wave capsizes the
boat, the leaved doors close automatically.
The occupants are then safe within the
craft. A hole in the side of the boat sup
plies air to the passengers, while 1t is pos
sible for them to open one OF the deck
doors in the upper side of the craft. Thus
they can loosen the mast, and by bearing
on the gunwale, right the craft.

.ELEPHONING between America and
Europe! And no one able to listen

This is the possibility Peter
Cooper Hewitt, wireless wizard, now
promises to add to the marveIs of science.
After studying for eighteen years, the
inventor of many practical electrical
appliances, including the mercury yapOr
electric lamp which sheds a bright diff
fused light from long glass tube and

and the mercury VapOr rectifer which
transforms alternating current to direct

a device enabling person on land to
carry on a conversation with a passenger
crossing the ocean, and an apparatus
making it possible for the commanders
Of armies in the field to converse with
one another without anyone except the
two persons talking being able to over
hear u single word. This latter inven-
tion, Mr.. Hewitt says, can be utilized
in carrying on conversations between
persons in an airship and persons on
land.
Mercury vGpCr in a vacuum tube is to
make wireless conversation across the
Atlantic possible. Mr. Hewitt announces
he has already perfected the receiving
apparatus, and is putting the final
touches on the sending device. which, he

hundred guests at this table, thus
making it the largest and most dis
tinctive table at the dinner.
Chairman Guy H. Buttolph, of the
Ohio delegation, took active charge
yesterday of the membership list
from the Buckeye state and with the
help of the Buckeye Club proposes to
make such a showing at the Ohio Ia
BILE as will be hard to excel
Other chairmen are also busy and
the dinner committee is encouraged
over the prospects Of breaking many
records on the evening Of May 3. The
state delegation committee, of which
A. L. Mackaye is chairman, has ar
ranged for a new style of seating the
hundreds of guests who will attend,
while every chairman is endeavoring
to evolve something absolutely new in
the table decoration line for his par
ticular section.
Chairman Carter, who has list of
considerably over one hundred Y. M.
G.. A. members claiming Hawaii as
their native state, is DESTROYS that all
who, propose to attend this annual
meeting and dinner of the association
notify him as soon as possible, for
there will be limit placed on the
attendance at this unique banquet, as
space is at premium and only sos
persons can be seated in the big
games hall.

"AMPHI0N" A H00Do0 NAME,
Disaster BefeIl Other Warships With
Same Title az One Blown Up.

Disaster BefeIl Other Warships With
Same Title az One Blown Up.
There seems to be a fatality about
the name Amphion rs used for a
British warship. The light cruiser
Amphion, which was blown up by a
floating mine In the North sea at the
beginning of the European war, was
the second of that name to be blown
up, and on each occasion the loss Of
life was considerable.
The first Amphion was n frigate Of
t%hirty-two guns, and she became quite
famous in the wars Of the end Of the
eighteenth century. She was In COM
mand Of Captain Israel Pellew, and
on Sept. %, 1906. while lying in Ply
mouth harbor, she caught fire and
blew up. The u Of the accident
was never placed. Captain Pellew and
ten out of 312 officers, men and visitors
OH board were lost.
1t has always been customary in the
British navy to pe%rpetuate b names
Of vessels that win distinction, and so
another Amphion was built. She was
of the same size as the II blown up
at Plymouth hurbor. At III time she
flew the flag of Vice Admiral Nelson
and was in command of Captain
Thomas Hardy. When on the way to
the Mediterranean to command the
British fleet there. in 1903. Nelson
shifted his flag from the Victory to the
Amphion in order to saw time. When
he transferred again to the Victory
he took Captain Hardy with him.
Captain William Hoste had charge
Of the Amphion after that and took
part in several engagements. the most
important OF which was the battle of
LISA, in the .Adriatic. when a British
squadron Of four vessels. the largest
of only thirty-eight guns. gave battle
to Il fleet Of ten French and Venetians.
The British vessels carried in all l24
guns, against $50 on the opposing fleet.
In Captain Hostess squadron We're $50
men. against $500. The British We're
victorious and the battle was made
the subject Of IL famous painting. Willie
Captain Hoste and other officers re-
ceived gold medals.
Before the British had IN Amphior
| there was Il vessel OF that name In the
French navy, which was captured in
| the battle off Uslant. on July p. 1918.
| After the second Amphion had finished
| her career of usefulness there was no
A.mphion until the cruiser was built in
1919. She could make twenty-five
miles an hour. but had little oppor'
tunity to distinguish herself after she
sank the German mine laying vessel
Kocnigin Luise. Sailors are superSti'
| tious. and should the British govern
ment name another vessel .Amphion 1t
may be difficult to get II crew to serve
without deing impressed.

has been clearly demonstrated that
dairymell must get above average
methods and average conditions to at
tain success and must use business
methods and avail themselves of the
latest and best knowledge.
Cows producing good records are not
confined to any one breed or locality or
section Of the country. The individual-
ity Of the COW and the care and treat
mcnt she receives have more influence
than natural conditions or peculiar
characteristics of the soil.
4 cows dairy performance annot be
fairly judged from her record for Il sin
gle year. Dairy cows have their loft
years." and this must be considered
when COWS having poor records are be-
ing dropped from the herd. If this fact
is not borne in mind there is danger Of
ceiling the best COWS.
Many dairymen make the mistake
of keeping more COWS than they All
properly shelter and feed. 1t is more
profitable to begin with Il few well
cared for than with a large number
poorly fed and poorly sheltered. AS Il
rule dairymen have COWS enough in
number, but their yield is too low. To
Increase the profit the product must
be increased.
The fundamental steps to be taken
in improving dairy herds may be stat.
ell as follows:
Take advantage of variation. While
the tendency of nearly all lows raised
is to become average cows. Il number
fall below and Il few reach Il yield Of
500. COO, or even 700 pounds OF butter.
Those above the average should be
carefully selected and bred with care
and Judgment.
While the test must be used to de-
tect variation and make selections. it
is needed particularly to test the prog.
cny, to determine whether the good
qualities of the parent have been per-
petuated and to see il any improve
ment in the offspring has been made.
Feed. care and management are of
the highest importance. Having been
carefully selected and having stood the
test, the cows must be well fed and
cared for if their good qualities are to
be retained and improved.
