have taken steps to do away with

The batteries in the FL as in all
other submarines in service in the
United States Navy are of the same
type as those in the submarines OF
other nations.
Several months ago Thomas \. Edi-
son became interested in the subject
of batteries for submarines and at the
invitation of Secretary Daniels visited
New York and inspected a submarine.
At the time Mr.. Edison said to Daniels
that he could invent a battery which
would not be attended with the danger
OF chlorine gas.
Mr.. Edison went to work on the
proposition and shortly Invented the
battery. Secretary Daniels examined
il and was 40 well pleased that he

living if she were to get the -four mix
ing habit.
There are some thirty substitutes that
can be mixed with wheat flour In making
bread he Gays, in statement issued yes
terday. Many of these are more nu-
tritious than wheat flour; some of them
are cheaper than wheat flour. and of
these two or three at least are CONNER
cially obtainable almost anywhere.
Potatoes. corn -four, and rice can be
used with profit in mixture with wheat
flour in making yeast bread. With wheat

housewife stands to effect quite a saving
by using one of these products to exc

shown that the substitutes can be used
successfully In the proportion of one part
to three parts of wheat -four. At least
three-fourths OF the mixture must be

CAMPING is
GREAT SPORT

The young ladies and gentlemen of
Grace Baptist Church, Westmont,
Camden county, camping on the shores
of Tumbling Dam Park, are having a
great time. The party was bit han
dicapped on Saturday night and Sum
day, not having all of their equipment
here, but on Monday the camp was in
order and since then everyone has en-
joyed the outdoor life.
The camp is pitched on the point
north of the Logue property. There
are two large sleeping tents, one for the
women and one for the men. There is
a commissary department, and big
dining table is arranged out under the
trees. The chaperon looks after the
meals, and one of the young ladies is
treasurer of the combination.
Up early in the morning the camp
ers are early in the three canoes that
they have and there is bathing, fish
ing and boating all day. Mandolins
and other instruments furnish music
for the evenings. All of the fifteen are
in splendid health and they are
charmed with the camp location. An
entire week will be spent in camp.
