BUILDING GIANT FLY TRAPS
schooIboys Make Device Which Will Catch Half Million Disease
 Spreaders in Season.

Fly traps that will catch 100000, or 30 quarts of flies in a season will be built this spring by some of the boys in the Grand avenue manual train ing center. Irving r. Lorentz the in structOr, is making model, and will soon have some of the boys construct ing the device as a side line, accord ing to the Milwaukee Journal.
 A square framework is made of mar row strips of wood, and within the frame is placed a cone of wire net ting, In the model of Mr. Lorentz an ordinary glass jar is used in place of the Eoodep frame. A banana peel or sim -sr reSuse is placed as a bait at the Atem of the trap. When the trap-cipwded with flies, they can be killed ~py dipping the filled trap into boiling water.
 ''The idea is excellent" Mir. Lorentz said "The construction is simple, so that seventh or eighth grade boys should easily be able to make it. At the same time it is inexpensive, the cost of materials probably not exceed ing 30 cents. If all the centers encour- aged the making of these traps. it would prove a most effective weapon against the fly. Such trap would kill off the flies before. they even got into the hOmeS.'

Soldiers Clad in Steel.

Getting it's inspiration from the val uable service already performed by the steel helmet, La Nature of Paris sug- gests that the soldiers entire body should be incased i'll armor. It proposes, says Popular Science Monthly, that the sides of the heaI neck and upper part of the chest be covered with a gorget, a kind of collar, and the loins with a kind of skirt, like the lower part of habergeon, both in chain mail. A cuirass, or breastplate, of nov able plates of steel would protect the chest and back, and hinged steel elbow pieces and knee pieces would cover the joints. A face mask and goggles would complete the suit. The armor would be light enough to afford perfect free dom of action.

FREE REIN |S GIVEN
 G0ETHALS ON SHIPS
DIFFERENCES ON WOODEN vES- SEL PROGRAMME CLEARED
 AWAY-TO PUSH WORK.
CONTRACTS FOR THIRTY LET
Twenty-Four More Wooden Ships and Six Steel Barges Ordered-Propos-
 als For Turning Out Three Million
 Tons of Steel Shipping Accepted.

Washington.-Diff between Chairman Denman of the shipping board and Mai. Gen. Goethals, mana ger of the boards emergency fleet corporation, over the boards wooden shipbuilding campaign have been cleared away, it was stated, and the corporation will proceed with con- struction of both steel and wooden ships.
 Gen. Goethals, back from New York, where in speech he character. ized the plan to build 1000 wooden ships as hopeless, announced that the fleet corporation had let contracts for A more wooden ships and for six steel barges.
 It was said authoritatively that Gen. Goethals will be given a free rein in the shipbuilding programme and that there will be no interfer- ence from the board Shipbuilding will be put entirely in his hands and the board will exercise it's other func- tions as prescribed in the law creat- ing it. Operation of the fleet, there fore, will be in the hands of the board.
 Gen. Goethals has accepted propo- sals by the United States SteeS Cor poration and the Lackawanna Steel & Iron Company to turn out by fabri- cation processes 3,000,000 tons of steel shipping in IS months, and will let contracts for wooden vessels as fast as wooden builders come forward with facilities for building them.
 The House sent to conference an amendment to the $750,000,000 ship construction appropriation section of the urgent deficiency bill eliminating a Senate provision to authorize the president to direct the fleet corpora tion's general manager to carry out provisions of the measure.
 Secretary McAdoo, announcing that $9,O0O,0OO had just been placed to the credit of the shipping board, said the board and Gen. Goethals had not been held up for a second for want of money and would not be.
 Referring to statement attributed to Gen. Goethals in his recent New York speech that no attempt had been made to sell the S50,000,000 of Pana- ma Canal bonds through which Con- gress authorized the raising of funds for the board, MT. McAdoo said 1t was not necessary to sell the bonds immediately and that the board had been notified long ago that all the money required was available on re- quest. Before this allotment the board had asked for and received $1,- nm mn

saIted Fish Popular. Food.

How to conserve the fish supply is one of the subjects receiving careful attention by the British board of trade in conjunction with the board of agri- culture. One of the methods which will probably be adopted is the drying or salting of q much larger proportion of the daily catch than at present, so as to prevent waste by the fish getting out of condition. Salted haddock are already being placed on the market in considerable quantities as an experi- ment. They sell at about F cents q pound retail, and are very paiatable. One method of preparing is to boil the fish, throw away the water, and boil up again, but if it is washed to get rid of practically all the salt the haddoek should also be soaked in cold water for 24 hours before cooking

One-Sided Recoqnition.

They passed on the street without Speaking-but their eyes held mutual recognition and challenge. She was accompanied by a female friend, and he had a male companion. When they had passed, the girl said:
 'That was poor Jack Jurgens. He didn't speak, but you noticed his look, didn't you? Poor boy-it hurts me to think how he has never got over my refusal to marry him? Of course he was all broke up at the time, but I thought he would soon get over it. He's thinner, isn't he? I do hope that he hasn't plunged into dissipation He couldn't trust himself to speak, could he? Oh, dear."
 And the man was saying:
 Did you see how that dame gave me the eye? 1 suppose 1 should have spoken to her, because 1 can't help thinking I've met her somewhere-her face is familiar, but 1 can't place her." Cleveland Plain Dealer.

England Not Yet Hungry.

England NoI feI 1un9Ty
 Probably every reader of an Ameri- can newspaper noticed that after the statement by Secretary of the Interior Lane that the submarine situation was desperate, the British commissioners, without allowing themselves to be quoted, sought to soften the effect of the cabinet officers words.
 The English people have not yet gone on a ration basis. Just what is the food condition of the island? This question has been answered fairly full ly by some of the British commission CTS
 Of course, the submarine menace has direct connection with the feed Ing of England, France and Italy. Eng land today has enough food to supply her people and her armies for some time to come, and 1t is probable that so far as the island is concerned, things will be on a two-thirds self sustaining basis when the new crop is gathered.
 England, however, as has been point ed out recently, must look after France and Italy. Therefore, the sit uation in the islands becomes the sit uaAon in the countries of it's western allies. For a long time after the war l began the British authorities made no effort to cut down the food consump- tion of it's people. The submarines had not succeeded in cutting off sup plies to such an extent that things were getting dangerous. It was only comparatively recently, in fact, that England has felt the necessity of curb ing the appetite of its people.
 The other day King George issued a | proclamation urging the English to get along with three-quarters of the food that they were using at that time. II has been figured in England that about | One-fifth is waste, and so if the peo- pie, while cutting down one-quarter could save one-ffth, they could go on eating almost as much as they have been eating In the past.
 In France, even under present con- ditions, the people probably are as well off as they are in England, for the simple reason that the French never waste anything. The French cook will take what is left from ar English dinner table and make three solid meals out of it for as many din. CTS as sat at the first table. Moreover the food will be so transformed by the artful hand directed by the artfu mind of tha cook that tbn diu arS NTriI never suspect that they are partakine of leftovers. It will be a hard job tC l starVe the French.
