Knitting Helmets

From Red Cross Headquarters
comes. the suggestion that in the
future knitters make helmets
instead Of mufflers. They take
less yarn and are more practical.
Following are the directions for
the two ways of making them.
Knitters please cut out and
save these directions.

How Navy Trains Youth.

The whole service of the United
States navy is educational. At the
training station recruits get the rudi.
ments OF naval training and Of tech
meal instruction. which is continued
on ship board. THE American navy"
says the Secretary Of the Navy, "offers
as fine an opportunity as exists to
the American youth who wishes to
win In the race of life. The vast
majority Of boys in graded and high
schools study their geography out OF
books. The bluejacket studies geo
graphy aboard ship and compares
the book learning" with the real
thing as he circumnavigates the globe.
The school boy at home gets his his
tory out Of the books. but the blue
Jacket may add to his book knowledge

ster Abbey, or a sight Of the Coliseum

NITRATE OF LITTLE VALUE
50 Far That Found In Western States
Cannot Be Worked TO Flnan-
clal Advantage.

In connection with the search for
potash and nltntes In the United
States the government receives many
reports Of supposed valuable dlscov-
cries. A letter recently received by
the United States geological survey
Of the interior department describes a
cave In one Of the Southern states
which was worked by the Confederacy
during the Civil war for potassium
nitrate. This cave Is said TO contain
at least 100000 tons Of nitrous earth,
which, however, contains only ] or 2
per cent Of nitrate. The survey now
states that It seems very doubtful
whether such material can be profit
ably used as a source Of nitrate salts.
The minimum grade Of callche now
worked in the Chilean fields contains
IL per cent of sodium nitrate, and
though there has been much criticism
Of the crudeness Of the methods en-
ployed there, the work is done by very
cheap Indian labor, and 1t is doubtful
whether leaner material could be
worked to advantage here, where the
price of labor is so much higher. Sew

Gently been expended in one Of the
Western states in testing the PROPOSE

FATHER OF MODERN LIBERTY
Simon De Montfort Credited With
idea Which Led to the Present
Popular Representation.

The commons Of England were
called to sit in parliament for the first
time in 1865, little more than $50
years ago, and 80 years after King
John had been forced by the barOns
to sign the Magma Charts.
The man responsible for this popu-
lar representation was Simon dc Mont
fort, earl of Leicester, who was killed
In the battle of Evesham on August 4,
1865, only a few months after he had
gained Gplace in history as the father
Of the English house of commons. In
der his leadership the barOns had
waged a successful war on King
Henry, and had taken the monarch
and his son, afterward Edward /, pris-
oners Of war. Leicester, who had laid
down the law that the king derives
his power from the people and must
use it for the public good, governed
for a time in the name Of the king,
and issued the ordinance In 1885, in
which each city and town was called
upon to choose and send two dis
Greet, loyal and honest men" to rep
resent them In parliament. Thus was
laid the foundation of the house Of
commons.

Taking REGULAR Course.

Thomas Mott Osborne. the "volun-
tary millionaire convict" said Of the
food in Auburn prison:
sit is fresh and wholesome, Better
than that of some cheap restaurants.
Better certainly than the Chat Mort
provides.

ing rabbit pie, is provided for 10 cents

"Well, at the Chat Mort one evening
a Wichitan complained:
"'Waiter, this here billed chicken u

"But the waiter excitedly and yolu-
bly, replied:
"'Oh, impossible, monsieur The
chicken, on the contrary. is very good
indeed. On Monday 1t was roast veal,
on Tuesday 1t was boiled pork, yester-
day it was Geld chicken and today It is
boiled chicken. II will not be bad un-

ArtIacIaI Leg Made 800 3. Q.

There is in the museum of the Royal
College Of Surgeons, Lincoln's Inn
Fields, London, an artificial leg, made
about 300 b. O.. of bronze, wood and
iron. Who has not heard of the fam
Gus 'Iron Hand" made in Nuremberg,
Germany, in 1904, for the German
knight, Gotz Won Berlichlngen? Among
the old-time Indians ears, noses and
lips of plaster were quite common, one
OF their ordinary punlshments being
to cut Off these useful parts Of the hui
man anatomy. Greek and Roman vet
Grams who had lost a leg or an arm
in the wars used to replace them by
substitutes, and Plinius speaks of a
Roman soldier who-about $50 years
b, C.-was famous for the wooden
hand with which he was still able to
fight as an able swordsman. In 1904
the Duke Of Brunswick had to use an
artificial hand.

WHY?

It pays. Field selection of seed corn
is one of the surest and best paying oper-
ations on the farm. Proper care of seed
corn pays well Tests show that properly
cared for seed corn has yielded eighteen
bushels more per a re than crib-stored
seed from the same field.

Army EanIes Of Napoleon.

Before NapoleOn's time it had been
the custom for armies to carry huge,
nnwieldy flags mounted on poles
which, while they afforded rallying
point for their corps, also drew the en-
emy's fire. Napoleon revived the an
Gent symbol of the Caesars. The Ma
poleOnic eagle itself was inches In
height and 0 inches across the wings.
1t stood on a brass block 3 inches
square and weighed three and q half
pounds. Modern colors, cumbersome
as they are, are as nothing compared
to the old ones. which were as diff
cult to hide as the big drum.

Townsend. an early Western trav
eler. tells that one day he met about
a hundred Indians Of the Sac tribe.
'rhey were dressed and decorated In
the true primitive style, their heads
shaved closely, and painted with alter
nxte stripes Of fiery red and deep
black, leaving only the long scalplng
tuft, In which was interviewer a guam
tity Of elk hair and eagles feathers.
Mach man was furnished with good
blanket, and some had an underdress
Of calico, but the greater number were
entirely naked to the waist. The faces
and bodies Of the men were, almost
without an exception, Enthusiastically
painted, the predominant color being
deep red, with occasionally a few
stripes of dull clay white around the
eyes and mouth. The squaws,
Of which there were about twenty,
were dressed very much like the men,
and at a little distance could hardly
be distinguished from them. Among
them was an old, superannuated crone,
who, soon after her arrival, had been
presented with broken umbrella. The
only use that she made of 1t was to
wrench the plated ends from the
whalebones, string them on a piece of
wire, take her knife from her belt,
with which she deliberately cut a slit
of an inch In length along the upper
rim Of her ear, and insert them In It."
