BOTANY AND NATIONAL
DEFENSE.

What has a botanical cor mittee to
do with defending the nation? Not
much, at first glance Yet The b0tan.
zeal raw products committee of the
National Research Council is an i'm.
portsnt division of the Council of Ma
tional Defense.
Botanical experts on this commit
tee are working in the interests of
industrial efficiency. II Is mp to them
to locate raw products thar formerly
came from other countries but have
been cut off by the war.
1t Is said that in many Industries
buyers have purchased materials from
foreign concerns without knowing
how or where they were produced. and
sometimes without realizing their ut.
ter dependence on the foreign firms
supplying them When the source of
supply was suddenly blocked. the in.
dustries were seriously crippled. II
Is the business Of the botanical com
mlttee to lind out the geographic and
specific sources Of these materials
and to see to il that buyers can get
hold of them again in the needed
quantities
Among its definite lines of activity
the committee will collect data on all
plants having economic value and
give this information to the manuA
facturers. II viii investigate trade
requirements. discover new geograph-
ic sources of plants, cultivate them as
far as possible in the United States
to meet trade needs, discover equiv
alents and substitutes, learn the trade
requirements OF new materials and
adapt raw products to new uses.
II sounds like a fascinating field
even to the layman And the patriot.
lie value Of such work is obvious.

HOW HEELS ORIGINATED

Heels originally came from Persia,
where they we're used in the shape OF
small wooden blocks, which the people
fastened below their sandals, in order
to keep their feet as high above the
level Of the burning sand as possible.
At first they were only four cent?
meters high for men and women alike
Soon, however, the ladies favored IA
BILIOUS sizes, reaching up to as much
as thirty-six centimeters. A few years
later on these heels were brought to
Venice, where they became the fash
ION; they were called "chapineys,
and were ornamented and decorated
in every possible style and shape that
cobblers could dream Of. The height
Of the "chapineys" showed the rank Of
the wearer, and finally they attained
such dimensions that many fashion.
able ladies were quite unable to walk

Thus, If there are twenty gallons of
the copper solution there would be
only fifteen of the lime milk. The
lime should be slaked gradually by
pouring the water on in small quanti-
ties and at intervals until all has
crumbled. Finally larger quantities
are added with constant stirring I'M
til the volume Is completed. If
quicklime can not be had and ny
drafted lime is available use as many
pounds Of the latter as Of copper sui
phate, but do not increase tn guam
tity of water. Air-slaked lime must
not be used.
The resin fish-oil soap suspension
is made with pound of soap to 4
gallon of water. AS with the lime,
only three-fourths of the quantity of
water Is necessary. Hot water will
hasten the dissolving of the soap. To
avoid the formation Of troublesome
Jumps the water must be added slow
ly at first with constant stirring.
For general commercial operations
two 5O-gallon barrels with outlets al
the bottom are placed on raised
platform so their outlets will be higher
than the top Of the spray tank. To
make 100 gallons measure eight gal
Ions Of the copper-sulphate solution
into one barrel and six gallons of the
milk Of lime into the other. Add to
each enough water to make forty-sev-
en- gallons, stirring the contents thor
oughly, and then let the two solutions
run with equal rates into trough
leading to the spray tank. At the
same time add six gallons of the resin
flsh-oil soap solution very gradually
and in a small stream through the
spray-tank strainer along with the
copper-lime mixture, The copper sui
phate and lime should be mixed be-
fore the soap is added

SPRAY FOR LEAF.SPOT OF IONA,

The addition OF resin flsh-oil soap
to Bordeaux mixture promises to con-

Plant-disease specialists in the Fes-
eral Department Of Agriculture de-
scribe the leaf-spot disease as one
which causes defoliation of the plants

fruit. Small circular spots develop
on the leaves and sometimes on the
stems. The first appear as tiny dots
having dark or water-soaked ap-
pearance. Gradually they enlarge
and turn brown, and the leaves shriv.

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof Us This Should Convince
Any Maysvllle Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when 1t is for
the public good Is an act Of kidness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by a resident
of Maysville adds one more to the
many cases of Home Endorsement
which are being published about
