American Woman,s GOOD Work.

Woman as an inventor has not come
before the public very often. but in
the last year Miss Grace Gassette has
made her inventions invaluable to the
American hospital In Neuilly. Miss
Gassette's home was in Chicago be-
fore she went to Paris, where she was
for years painter and sculptor At
the beginning of the war she offered
her services to the American hospital
at Neuilly and soon her work became
indispensable. Here she found use for
her knowledge of anatomy In invent
ing apparatus for dressing wounds.
Whenever a soldier who is seriously
wounded is brought to the hospital the
doctor sends for Miss Gassette, who
makes a detailed sketch of the kind
of instrument needed. From this the
workmen construct the delicate APP
paratus suited to each peculiar wound.

and divide the animals so that the
horses and the dairy cattle come under
separate roofs. This is especially
true IL the owner intends to handle
quite few horses. There are, of
course, no real objections to combina-
ton designs as long as the two parts
OF the barn are kept separate by the
use of wall and carefully built doors.
The combination barn shown here is
about the right size for 40-acre farm.
Space is provided for IL or IA cows
and from to horses.
The roof is OF the self-supporting
type. The lower rafter or gambrel
roof is 6 inches by inches by IA
feet long, while the upper rafter is by
by IL feet long. The bracing Is taken
care of by the timbers inch by s
inches. Two of these braces are used
by each of the upper rafters and one
for each of the lower rafters. The
lookout rafters are made from by As.
The trussed roof for barns has one
of the greatest factors for utilizing all
the space in the barn for various pur-

poses. The braced gambrel roof. such
IA is shown in the illustration, is the
commonest type. but round barns are
frequently built with q braced roof.
Either type leaves the entire upper
part OF the barn entirely free from all
Instructions, so that 1t can be most
readily utilized as haymow. The
unobstructed space also allows the in
stallation OF the hay track in the peak
of the roof. The track is fastened to
a collar beam. which is a short beam
placed between the upper rafters, and
serves the double purpose of support
ing the track and bracing the rafters.
Many manufacturers of the equipment
used furnish special hanging irons that
are easily attached to the collar beams
and which support the track Gown be-
low. If this style of equipment is used 1t
will save considerable time and trou-
BILE to have the collar beams all even
and true. The collar beams are set as
high as possible so as to bring the
track well up into the peak.
Inc cnange IN the appearance ~
barn doors is a feature of modern
barns as compared with the old sheds
that formerly served as barns. Any.
thing would do for door in the old
days. The sliding doors always had
at least one roller of the track and
hung down with mournful droop.
The hinged doors were broken so that
their only value was to bang up against
the side of the barn in the wind. The
excuse was often made that the doors
didn't fit very well. but the cracks
around them helped In ventilating the
barn. Now that we have a regular
ventilating system, broken-down doors
have 10 reason for existing.
The doors shown in this barn are

There are thousands of farms all
over the country that are not large
enough to support complete set OF
barns Of all the various kinds that are
in use. so the solution Of their problem
lies in the combination barn. The
combination barn is designed to han
die dairy herd and the horses that
are needed, under the same roof. A
heavy door separates the two parts of
the barn.

Observation-Disclosures, In common
with the rest OF Iowa, went dry Dec.
31st. For the first time in its history
OF nearly 100 years the city is now
without saloons. The passage was ac-
complished without special demon
stration. There was scant disposition
in evidence to take advantage of the
windup of the saloon business.
So far as reported all closed on
scheduled time. Hundreds Of watch
parties were held over the city and a
general disposition to celebrate the
closing OF the bars.

There are six applications on file
in the office OF w. B. Barney, dairy
and food commissioner for the use Of
the Iowa butter trade mark. The de-
partment has been delayed in getting
the labels and as the plants propos-
ing to use the trade mark must be in

that the first Iowa butter win be on
