already discovered along these familia7
and much frequented avenues.
Take, for instance, the held OF
ecience. Many women have entered IL

the hitherto unsupported gems OF IN
terest that lay in its manifold branches
are absorbing their attention with
amazing and beneficial results.
The career and work of Miss Alice
c. Evans, bacteriologist in the De-
partment of Agriculture and an in
dependent investigator of a number of
the important. obscure problems which
her bureau has to solve. singularly ex-
enplihes these statements.
She ,s a young woman following
practically untrodden avenue of en-
deavor, and has svailed herself of op-
portunities in her held which have
enabled her to contribute original
data to the world Of science.
Miss Evans has been conducting spe-
cial meteorological Investigations in
the bureau of animal industry for the
past two years. Prior to her work in
Washington she was associated in an
important cooperative governmental
research at the University of Wiscon-
sin.
This work Is very dificult to talk
about to the layman.' she said recently
in her Office az the Department of Agri-
culture because It requires the use OF
technical terms which only bacteriolo-
gists and chemists may be expected to
find familiar. However. this bacterfo-
logical work IS well worth understand
ing something about. 1t forms the basis
, Of many Of the practical movements for

basis for improvements in sanitary con-
ditions.
The experiments themselves must be
done with an exquisite exactness and
precision One learns to deal with min

which stand at the very lowest scale OF
Lying things. They are so small that

women has many advantages. though 1t
is not a field which they can enter

due to too rigid censorship somewhere,
the wireless is sometimes called into

Here is another instance Of the way
the department spends money to get
messages to its ministers and ambas-
sadors agroad:
At the outbreak of the war, last Au-
gust, the Department of State was
called upon to relieve great number
of stranded" Americans abroad. who
had lost their money and possessions
in the rush for ocean ports when the
war rolled upon them. Friends in the
United States began pouring money in
upon the department, to be trans
mitted to relatives abroad, and before
this money could be paid by. a State

Her aim in these experiments was to
determine the ripening factors of the
we'll known American cheese. She fol-
lowed cheese rtpening from beginning
to end, making experiments with the
milk as it came in and with its every
other form up to the finished cheese
Since coming to Washington Miss
Evans has been associated with several
pieces of work. Her beginning of the
soft cheese experiments will mark the
most exceptional opportunities which
have yet been afforded her.

Her official title in her division is

however, conducted practical investi-
cations with the regular American
cheese as well. which does not come

Miss Evans holds a BIS degree from
Cornell University and an MS. from
the University of Wisconsin. 1t was

ripening conditions. 1t is our hope that
We can demonstrate to cheesemakers
the possibility of manufacturing them
in the United States. for. as is well
known, fancy cheeses have practically
all been imported.
This presents a very interesting piece
OF work. 1t is the action of the bac-
terial growth that ripens cheese, and
Evening star., 1915-06-20

in the case of the soft cheeses the
ripening Is brought about by the COM
bined action of bacteria and molds. The
molds are a form of vegetable life con-
Siderably higher than bacteria. We
shall make a complete study of these
cheeses in all of their stages for the
benefit of the American industry"
To prepare for this work Miss Evans
took a special course at the University
of Chicago last autumn. She devoted
her attention solely to the study of
molds and enters upon this work with

there is speculation that Germany may
be feeling a shortage of this indispen-
sable metal, the weight of well in
formed opinion Is that the Teutonic
allies are amply supplied by native
ores There is no dispute as to the fact
that Great Britain, France and Russia
are mainly dependent upon the United
States for their supply of zinc.
Zinc is as necessary to the armies as
copper, though 1t Is not used In such
large measure as copper. Fine zinc.

commercial zinc called in trade par

making of brass. and the cartridge
cases of small-arms ammunition and
the fixed ammunition" of rapid firing
and quick firing cannon are made or
brass. The uses of zinc and brass are
manifold In the service of war. but the
brass cartridge case cannot be made
without it.
In an authentic table Of the worlds
production of zinc it is shown that the
output in Germany of commercial zinc
from native ores Is annually I4o,ueo
metric tons and her total output Sso,-
900 metric tons. showing that annually
her needs have demanded the produc-
tion of 10000 tons from ores other than
native. Austria produced 1000 tons OF
zinc from native ores and her total
output of zinc was 10000 tons. These
figures were. of course. compiled in
times of peace. Zinc authorities say
Germany has very fine native supplies
of zinc. but she has husbanded those
supplies with great care, knowing that
if worked to their full extent they
would be soon exhausted.
The figures showing the production
of zinc in Germany and Austria from
native and foreign ores does not tell
the story of the full use of zinc In
those countries. for the figures do not
show the amount of crude zinc and
zinc manufactures imported. Having a
fine supply of native zinc to fall back
on in case of national need. Germany
probably is suffering from no shortage
of that metal. An expert on the pro-
duction of zinc writing OF the proba-

"A
~ State was asked for a definf-
q q tion of the word diplomacy"
It was just after Secretary Bryan had
sent the Lusitania note to the German
foreign Office The official hesitated
moment.
THE Secretary" he remarked, "favors
the idea that diplomacy is the art OF
keeping cool. That idea is true enough.
but it doesn't cover sufficient territory.
Diplomacy, I should say. is the art Of
getting a good cable"
If you separate yourself from the at
mosphere OF the second floor of the
department. where Secretary Bryan
has his Office. and where the diplo-
mats themselves come flocking every
day. and descend to the first floor,
where the big Intelligence office of the
department is located. you'll see why

Affairs of any government can be much
