Made Leather From seaweed.

Shark skins are not the only product
of the sea one can make leather from.
A French chemist more than 30 years
ago succeeded In making leather from
seaweed by washing 1t with potash
and steaming it In n boiler. The ro-
nance of leather lies In the tanning
Of 1t, for the whole vegetable world Is

owes its delicious aroma to the birch

BY slDONlE M. GUTENBERG

In his "Children's Story-Sermons"
following story:
One morning when Bradley came
down to breakfast he put on his moth
er's plate a little piece OF paper, neat
ly folded. His mother opened it. She
could hardly believe it. but this what
Bradley had written:
Mother owes Bradley
For running errands. ..... .$0.25
For being good. .............. 10
For taking music lessons. ..... 10
Extras observation-disclosures. 10
Total 5000
His mother smiled, but did not say
anything, and when lunch time came
she placed the bill on Bradley's plate
with 50 cents. Bradley's eyes fairly
danced when he saw the money and
thought his business ability had been
quickly rewarded. but with the money
there was another little bill. which
read like this:
Bradley owes mother
For being good. 5000
For nursing him through his long
illness with scarlet fever. 90
For clothes. shoes, gloves and
playthingS ................. w
For all his meals and his beau
tiful room ................. 90
Tears came into Bradley's eyes, and
he put his arms around his mothers
neck, put his little hand with the So
cents in hers, and said: Take the
money all hack, mamma, and let me
love you and do things for you"
The homes of this country are full
of Bradleys who know nothing Of
rights and duties as related to money.

taken off by the general atmosphere.
Therefore. you want blankets soft and
pliable so that they will fall of their
own weight and Ak snugly to the body,
so as to prevent the air from clrculat-
ing between the blanket and the body.
The army blanket is woven so close

over the body that it fails to fall In
close, but stands out and permits an
air space between itself and the body.
This interferes with Its heat-retaining

IDEAL application in our large hospitals
In the commonwealth of Pennsylvania
we find in the cold high mountain re-
gions we can get along with three soft
er woven blankets instead of having
to use five army blankets.
With this discovery and practical APP
plicatlon we not only save much money
In maintaining our hospitals, but we
give our patients more comfort. The
blankets are warmer and at the same
time are lighter In weight.
The army blanket was made original
ly so that ii would be strong and could
be used in active campaigns, where 1t
had to be carried on the soldiers
backs, or on saddles of horses, or in
the supply wagon. Owing to the fact
that they were made of all wool, had
long lives, and were made in sub
stantial way, they soon found their
way into general use. particularly in
to hospital use, and more especially
into hospitals where the open-air treat
ment was necessary

of mosquitoes. finds snakes by OBJ
serving the actions OF birds and fol-
lows a bee to its store of honey. Any
animal which leaves track however
dim. in the sand, on rock or IN grass,
falls an easy prey to the black fellow.
Children are taught to track lizards
and snakes over bare rocks and to find
their absent mother by following
tracks too indistinct to serve as n
guide for European. When white
man is lost in the desert or a child
strays from home. the final resort is
to secure "black tracker."

Quail an Ally of Farmer.

"The meat value of the quail is in

University of Oklahoma says. "They
prey upon 145 different kinds of de-
structive insects and consume no less
than 100 varieties of noxious weed
seeds. They stay on the job 10
months in the year and labor continu-

should permit multitude OF so-called
sportsmen to destroy this powerful

Loving a Crouch Away


There's a look on the face you can
love away,
There's n crease in the brow you can
smooth today;
There's a CLEAN in the eye you can
change to one
That is sweet as the ray of the morn
ing sun
IFS the touch of our loving, the
sweet of our will,
That scatter the shadows of anger
and i'll.
There's a crouch that you think Will
be always the same.
So grim and so dark; but 1T goes as
it came
When you love it away with tender
ness born
OF the spirit of brightness and glad
ness and morn
There isn't crouch ever lived very
long
Meath the spell of a love that is
sweetened with song.
You can love it away, love the ache
and the care,
Love the heart that is heavy WIFI
grief and despair,
Till it lifts to the sunshine, as flowers
in the spring,
And responds every time to the song
that you sing
Forgetting its wrinkles and creases
and frown
At the touch of loves fingers Ike
velvet of down.

BIG INCREASE SHOWN

Reports to Railroads. War Board Indi-

Reports Just received by Fairfax Har-

Board. chow that the railroacc car
ried 1871 carloads of bituminous coal
from the mines during the month OF
July than during the corresponding
month Of last year. This increase,
which amounts to 20.4 per cent. makes
available for consumption 6,4S6.0n0 tons
OF coal in excess Of the amount that
would have been available had the
railroads merely duplicated their July,

Through cooperative effort, how

movement OF coal. the railroads that
handle the bitumincus product loaded
764.3e5 care last month. as compared
with 635.244 cars during the month OF
July, year ago The most notable in
creases in iSe total shipments last
month. Es compared with the shipments
last year, occurred in Illinois, Indiana
and Western Kentucky. WHARF the gain
was about 81 per cent
The total increase in the amount OF
hituminous coal handled by the rail-
roads for the months OF April. Nav
June and July, this year, over the same
months last year amounts to 51S53e
cars. or approximately GS,SS6,o0o tons
This is 25lo per cent more than the
amount handled for these four months
IN 1915. and is indicative Of the in
creased efficiency shown BY the rail
roads since they voluntarily agreed 10
merge competitive activities and CO.
ordinate their operations in a siccle

produce maximum of national trans
portation efficiency during the period

Further evidence of Richmord's

In Richmond. The latter two employ

In addition to these factories which

several other large plants are in

the industrial growth of Richmond, but

Every Detail OF Schedule and Ser
vice Of Meals on Trains to Be
Worked Out, So That Men VIII
Arrive at Camp Leo on Time.

Men drafted in Virginia for tho new
national army will be routed to the
training camp at Petersburg by John
B. Mordecai. Of this city. who has been
designated by the War Department to
perform the duty MIR. Mordccai. who
Is an expert traffic man in the employ
OF the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad, will be assigned a
room at the offices of Adjutant-Gen-
eral w. W. Sale and will start the
work to-day.
All men finally drafted into the army
and ordered to the camp. will travel
over a route TO be designated by MIR.
Mordecai. who will have the co-opera-
ton of all the railroads in Virginia in
making the necessary train move
ments. The transportation problem
is a big one, as there are approximate
ly- $4,000 men to be sent to the camp
in three increments. being gathered up
from, ia different points in the State.
Tho drafted men. according to the
regulations promulgated by the Presi-
dent, will be ordered by the local
boards to appear at certain hour to
be transported to camp. When the
men report they will be grouped un-
der the command of one Of their own
number, who will designate a second
in command. and will be in charge of
tho party during the trip to the mo-
Utilization camp.
PROVISION MADE FOR
MEALS ON TRAINS
Many Of the men will have to travel
for hours on the trains and will be en-
route to the camp at mealtime. Spe-
cial arrangements will be made by the
railroads to attach cook cars to the
trains at mealtime. and meals will be
served to the men in their seats An
allowance of 60 cents for each meal
has been made by the government.
The serving of the meals in the seats
will prevent the intermingling OF the
races, who will, in accordance with
the State law. travel In separate
coaches. The entire plan will be work
ed out by Mr. Mordecai in full detail,
and he will have everything in readi-
ness to have the men carried to camp
in the minimum time.
On the arrival at the camp every
man will be compelled to take a thor
ough bath. AS fast as possible the
clothing will be distributed to the men,
who may spend several days, however,
In civilian clothes. No attempt will be
made to drill the men for several days
although instructions in sanitation and
personal hygiene will start with the
initial bath.
