ALFALFA LUNCHEON SERVED
TO KENTUCKY FARMERS

Alfalfa was served to eKntucky
farmers in the FORM of hot biscuits,
doughnuts. cakes and candy, at a
luncheon during the recent annual
farmers week exhibition of the Agri-
cultural College at the state, univer-
sity as told in the Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The progressive young
women of the domestic science de-
partment took care of the cookery
and convinced their farmer guests
that very palatable products may be
obtained for the table from their al
falfa crops. The flour of alfalfa is
of a creamy tint before cooking and a
light green afterward, and while pea
green biscuits may not at first appeal
to the average housewife. the flavor
is regarded by many as rich and deli
cious. Food requirements may easily
result in greatly increased use of
alfalfa for -four in the near future
The recipes used in cooking 1t are
about the same as those for wheat
flour. Alfalfa candy Is made from a
glucose pressed from the stalk.

STRANGE NAVAL WEAPON is
IDEA OF GREAT SCIENTIST

One of Americas greatest electrical
engineers, whose reputation extends
throughout the world, has developed
what he terms an aeromarine torpedo.
1t is intended as a weapon for de-
stroying hostile warvesseIs. The
Popular Mechanics Magazine describes
the device. Essentially 1t consists of
torpedo freely suspended by cables
beneath a skiff. or pontoon. The lat
ter is connected. by means of a long
piano wire, with flying boat. which
tcws it through the water at high
speed until it strikes its target. The
wire, which serves as towline. passes
through an eye in the handle of a
lever and is wound about a drum in
stalled in the skiff. While the flying
boat is skimming across the water,
the towllne assumes a low angle.
This depresses the lever. which in
turn locks the drum against move
ment so that needless unreeling does
not occur. When the pilot craft as
cends into the air, however. the drum
revolves as the wire is drawn out
This motion is transmitted to a pro-
peller, and the forward propulsion of
the skiff thus aided.
In attacking vessel, an airman
would leave the water and attempt to
cross the enemy's path, dragging the
torpedo carrier after him. The tow
line, of course. would fall across the
radio aerial, or across the deck of
vessel. The continued pull upon 1t
by the air craft would bring the tor
pedo, it is assumed. against the vessel
with considerable force.

BLIND SOLDIERS "SEE"
PLAY GIVEN ON BARE STAGE

A curious. not to say pathetic, spec
tacle was presented in London re-
Gently when a we11-known play was
enacted before a large audience by
actors who wore their street clothes
instead of costumes and played on a
stage utterly bare of scenery. The
only properties used, aside from one
or two pieces of furniture, were a
teacup and a telephone bell. The ex-
planation ofsthis strange performance
lies in the fact that the audience, with
a few exceptions, was composed of
soldiers who had lost their sight.
That the afflicted men were able to
follow the action closely was indicated
by their quick response to tragic and
humorous lines. The action in one
scene called for the breaking of a tea
cup. and in another the ringing of a
telephone bell. hence the presence of
these articles on the stage.-From the
Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious. as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use it just plain

pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex-
pensive soaps or anything else all

all that is required. 1t makes an

SHIP DAVITS HOLD BOAT
FAR FROM THE SIDE

One of the numerous new forms of
ship davits recently patented in this
country and abroad, as result of the
frightful marine casualties of late
years, is described in the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t is the inven-
tion of a Mobile. Ala. man and en-
bodies a novel idea. His davits in
normal position rest on pivots in the
side of the ship and extend vertically
in channels to the top or boat deck.
The arms are of such length that,
when lowered on the pivots by means
of gear and tackle, they carry a sus-
pended boat out far from the side.
much as the arm of a movable crane
would do; thus enabling a lifeboat
to be launched when the ship has a
considerable list to the opposite side.
and also lessening the danger of the
boat being carried down by the sue
ton of a sinking vessel.
