 SUIT IN A TEST

John R. Walker, chairman of the federal lumber trade commission, re- gently tested the efficacy of a newly invented life saving suit by donning it and leaping into the swirling cur rent of the Mississippi river from the deck of a tug.
 The garment winch MT. Walker tried out is a complete one-piece suit of rubber. wadded with a material known as Ilana silk, a woven fabric which is more buoyant than cork. Snugly encased in the suit one floats upright in the water the head well above the surface, and the body warm and dry. Pockets are provided in the suit for a canteen of fresh water and for tins of condesed foods, and it is estimated the wearer of one of the garments can keep himself alive though adrift in the ocean, for q week.
 As test Mr. Walker decided to make the experiment one against time. A fed hundred yards upsteam from A few hundred yards upstream from rounded to. MT.

These War Mothers seek the oppor-

forces OF the nation
They are asking what they can do
in order that they may be certain
hunger is not added to the foes their
sons must face.
The food problem that menaces our
Allies is likewise the food problerl
that menaces the sons OF our War
Mothers. That problem Is one that
touches the honor, the heart, and the
patriotism OF the American people.
The woman who gives her son to fight
has right to demand that he be fed.
She has right to demand a place in
any movement designed to guarantee
the food supply OF our armed forces.
But the War Mother has more than
a right to seek service for herself.
She has the right to plead that the
womanhood OF the nation be Joined
in a sisterhood pledged to protect her
boy with all the resources OF the

The War Mothers who have yolun
