Short Course to be naugurated This
Winter-R. x. Bliss, Head,
Enthusiastic over
Results.

AMES, Iowa, Dec. 4-When the az
iricultural extension department of
Iowa state college reached half a mil
lion people In 1914 it made a new rec
ord, but that great total Is sure to be
lswelled to large number when all
reports Of the year 1915 are received.
thinks r. K Bliss, head OF the de-
Ipartment.
| 1T has been an extremely success
full year in every way" says Mr. Bliss.
i"What with the large number of sum-
mer campaigns which we have carried
on and with the new short courses
that we intend to inaugurate this win
ter. am sure that at the end of this
year We will have reached larger
number Of people throughout the state
than ever before
The various summer extension
icourses that are now being finished
have all shown results that are highly
gratifying.
Fourteen thousand boys and girls
! in Iowa have interested themselves in
! the Boys and Girls club work, which
lis not yet finished In connection
with the corn club work for the boys
! there are ''seed corn selection" meet
ings now being held In every county
in the state. "The season is some
what slow, but they are sticking to it, ;
says Mr.. Bliss.
| The pruning and spraying demon.
STATIONS which were started last
March, and which have been followed
up this summer by an orchard visiting
campaign have shown real results.
iGet-together meetings are now being
held by the farme rs, whose orchards
were visited and notes are being COM
pared on fruit results. In every case
successful crops are being reported.
The county agent territory, which
now includes thirteen counties Of the
state, is being enlarged as fast as
men can be found who are capable of
handling the work
Indications of the success of the
garden club work may be Judged from
the results obtained trom one home
garden by man in Davenport, who
produced S30.55 worth of vegetables
on eight square rods Of land. This is
the rate of sell an acre.
we are routing three institute
crews this year on systematic
basis" says Mr.. Bliss, land all insti-
ltutes desiring dates should send them
in as soon as possible in order to aid
in the routing Special effort is be-
ing made this year to Interest the boys
in institute work, and with this in
view much interes ting, practical dem.

PROGRAM FOR ADDITIONAL

YEARS PROVIDES FOR ABOUT
FORTY SHIPS OF ALL CLASSES

Toxic, July 23.-Four super-dread-
noughts, two scout boats, twenty
four destroyers, eight submarines
and one parent ship for seaplanes-
that is the naval increase program,
according to usually well-informed
newspapers, which will be introduced
III the next session of the Diet. No
official statement is made by the gov
eminent but the public accept this
estimate as approximately true. The
necessary credits, estimated at $780,
100000 yen or $90,000,000, would be
spread over a period of four years
from 1916.
The original plan prepared by the
National Defences Council last year
was understood to have been eight
bssttleships, sixty-four destroyers and
twenty-four submarines during term
of eight years. This, however, was
greatly modified.
Military authorities are quoted as
saying that it would be better to
postpone naval expansion until after
the present war, as the war will alter
naval tactics and naval construction
to no small degree. However, the
army is not opposed to naval develop
ment.

Arras, where more lives have been lost to the square yard of fighting area, ac- cording to dispatches. than upon any other part of the endless battle line.
 Arras,the capital of the French depart ment of Pas de Calais, is one of the old est and most important towns in north ern France and is situated on the. right and southern bank of the river Scarpe, at it's junction with the Crinchon, part ly on heights and partly in fertile plain, Arras is one of the principal stations on the French Northern rail- way. being about 137 miles distant from Paris by rail Brussels lies nine ty-seven miles to the northeast of this advance German outpost while the im- portant city of Amiens is thirty eight
 miles to the south southeast.
 One of the leading grain markets of France was held in this busy city be- fore the war. It lies well in the center E of a rich agricultural, grazing and in- dustria1 district and has always been important for it's trade and manufac- lures. Chief among the factory prod ucts of Arras were beet sugar, agri- cultural implements, hosiery, lace, pot tery and>leather. As early as the fourth century this little town was famous for its woolen manufactures, a fame that it has lost to the great Woolen centers of Britannia. across the water. It later became famous wherever lux ury held footing for the manufacture of tapestries. Some of the most beauti- fully worked hangings were produced here up to the fifteenth century, and so superior were the tapestries of the place that they were commonly known as Arras. The commerce of the city is inporta nt in grain. flour, oil, wine and brandy products.
 Many an important action in north ern France has been fought in and around Arras, a site where dhe Latin. Celtic and German elements have struggled since the foundation of the Roman empire. The city belonged to the Spanish branch of the house of Haps- burg until GAO. when Louis XIII If France captured it after long. severe siege. It Was reded to- France by the treaty of the Pyrenees.

 Five of them have been constructed
 at a cost of s10O.000 apiece When Germany's air attack comes there may not be time to build enough of these destroyers to make an impression on
 the Zeppelin fleet if it is as large as has been said, but there will be enough ready to give a demonstration of their value.
 This new craft is a small, rigid dirigi- ble, a type of air craft never built be- fore in the history of aeronautics. Be- ing small, it will have a short radius of action. but it will have a speed of from sixty to seventy miles an hour. It is designed to remain on station, say, at Scarborough, at Yarmouth or on a garage ship with the fleet.
 The advantage of the dirigible type is that it can remain practically sta- tionary at given point in the air. Sev- eral of them so stationed can act like screen of torpedo boats around a fleet. And. too the sloWness with which they can move makes them the

~PECIALISTS from many fields of endeavor, called to the bed side of the human race at the O national conference on race betterment in San Francisco on Aug 6, had prepared a program to show just what effect the European war will have on the advance to human per- lection through eugenics.
 pr. David Starr Jordan is at the head of the executive committee. Other leaders are Luther Burbank. Professor Irving Fisher of Ysie, Edgar l.. Hewett, director of the United States bureau of ethnology; Dr. J. H. Kellogg and many others of prominence. It is admitted by leading eugenists that the war abroad will delay the introduction of eugenics as fundamental law. Some claim. however. that the war will bring a survival of the fittest, which may. after all rebound to the ultimate bet terment of the race. The first national conference on race betterment, held in Battle Creek, Mich, in 1914, was char acterfzed by many sensational ad- dresses. One of these was by Dr. Ernest Hoag of Leland Stanford uni- versity on School Hygiene"
 '"rhe child hygienist occupies a new field. and his work makes necessary recognition of a new profession" said Dr. Hoag. "The modern school health officer must be a specialist carefully trained in the problems of child hy- giene.
 The division of school hygiene should include in it's functions not only the health supervision of school children and the maintenance of healthful school environment. but also super vision of the teaching of hygiene, of the health of teachers. of physical education and of public lecture de- partment for parents. where topics on the home and school hygiene of the child may be presented It also should / include the maintenance of a central laboratory for the study of exceptional children, especially. those who are re- tarded and mentally subnormal

 To Detect Subm arnes.
 Another use for which these small dirigibles are well fitted is the detec- tion of submarines They can move slowly over the water, and for that reason it will be easier for them to detect submarines than for the aero plane observer. It is well known that from a height one can see underneath the water. Moving slowly over the water the observer in one of the little dirigibles will be able to see the peri scope or the air bubbles if he cannot actually see the submarine itself.
