pieces Which He Promptly De-
stroys Upon Completion.

There has been discovered at Caps
Scott. one Of the most solitary points
in Vancouver Island, by the chief en-
gineer OF the public works department
of British Columbia, sculptor who
spends his time in modelling little mas
terpieces from Jumps Of clay and then
destroying them, relates an exchange.
He Is A. F. Whittier. and he calls
himself "prospector." Living entire
ly alone, he has for the past two years
been carrying out lonely Investigations
Of mineral claims in his neighborhood.
His sculptor's tools are Of the simplest
kind, and 1t is his habit to work with
the same piece of clay, which weighs
scarcely five pounds. but with that he
has modelled scores Of objects.
The government engineer found him
just as he had completed bust of the
martyred British nurse, Edith Cavell.
Mr.. Whittier was about to destroy the
work in order that he might use the
clay for a miniature statue of his son,
who was recently killed. He was, how
ever persuaded to part with the bust,
which is to be auctioned in aid Of the
Red Cross funds.

Bigger Submarines.

Another report which has been max
ing the rounds Is TINT German SUD-
marines recently have been making 1t
n practice Of sparing nll passenger
ships they encounter. The only basis
for this belief, 1t was said. Is the fact
that fewer passenger ships have been
sunk. They have been attacked, how
ever, but in most cases have escaped.
There have been no German subma-
rines near the American coast since
this nation entered the war. so far as
the navy department has learned. A
submarine has been sighted nearly IN
mid-Atlantic, but that is the nearest
approach one Is known to have made.
The navy department has eviosnce
that Germany is increasing the size OF
her submarines nearly to the proper
ton of small cruisers. This evidence
was obtained by ocular observation. In
mart. and also from the fact that the
submarines now are mounting guns OF
nearly six inches In bore. Fragments
of shells falling on merchant ships
have disclosed the size Of the guns.

Devices Employed.

Among those most in use on mer
chant ships. the admiral said. were
Smoke bombs" and smoke screens.
Camouflage also is being employed to
surprising extent, but particularly
on naval vessels. The smoke bombs
are merely containers filled with chem
icals which when cast overheard
throw of dense black smoke, obscur-
ing the ship from an attacking subma-
rine.
A great variety of experiments in
cnmouflnge have been tried on naval
vessels. They have been painted ev-
cry hue Of the rainbow that might
tend to merge the ship in Its back
ground and make 1t indistinguishable
to Investigating periscopes. Admiral
Benson said many Of these devices had
been demonstrated to be Of great
merit. warships. too, are equipped
with detectors which indicate the prox-
unity of other ships.
More and more Of the merchant
ships, of course, are being armed SO az
to be able to give good account OF
themselves in encounters with the
U.boats, and experiments constantly
are going on in the navy to improve
the weapons of offensa employed
against the submarine. A special en-
deavor is being made to perfect the
operation Of depth charges 80 that 1t
may be possible more frequently to
'pot" the U-boats as they submerge
or as they run along with only their
periscopes showing.
Balloons are employed on the ships
for observation purposes. but their use
Is not at all new.
1t was said today. in contradiction
Of recent interesting story, tnat no
invention had been perfected IN the
United States navy which would en-
able an attacked ship to defect the
course of a torpedo once 1t was hred.
This report, according to Admiral Ben
son, had no foundation whatever.

EAT COTTAGE CHEESE.

i. There is skim milk on every farm whre cows are kept.
 Skim milk Is easily made into cot tagei cheese. A gallon makes l 1-2 pounds.
 :, Cottage cheese is one of the best substitutes for meat, not only because ofsits food value but also because from it dishes can be made which fit into our, meals as meat does.
 There are more than 5,00O,OO0 farms which keep dairy cows. A pound Of cottage cheese each week made on each of these farms and used in place of meat would mean a quarter of 2 'ion pounds more meat available ea year for emergency uses. ...s \ there is only a.little skim milk, na ke cottage cheese from it and use it t home. Many farmers have. skim m k enough to make cottage cheese f1 home use and to supply families in nearby towns. The United States de- 1artment of agriculture urges that the cottage-cheese maker and the cot tage-cheese user get together.
 Cottage cheese can be used alone in salads, az cottage-cheese loaf, and in nSAny other attractive dishes. ' Tnrn waste skim milk into 8 valu- able meat substitute.

COAL MINERS HOLD
 WAGE CONFERENCE

Washington, D. C., Sept. 25.-An in terstate conference of coal operators began here today as another step ir the program laid down by Dr. H. A. Garfield, federal coal administrator, with a view to keeping the price of coal to the consumer within bounds" during the coming winter. The direct purpose of the pres lent conference is to agree upon "a wage scale for the central com petitive field, which embraces Indi- ana. Ohio, Illinois and Western Penn sylvania.
 The miners are asking an increase of 20 to 30 cents per ton run of mine and a corresponding increase for other mine labor, passing their demand on increased cost of living. The oper- 'ators. it is said, are willing to grant the increase in wages if Dr. Garfield will permit them to absorb the in- crease by advancing the price of coal to consumers.
