NEWSPAPER ROTOGRAVURE

The Los Angeles Times has installed the first rotogravure press to be used by any daily paper on the Pacific coast.

 The Times rctogravure section is one cf the most attractive issued Tn the country. It is the same size as The Times Magazine and every week brings the great world events to the doors of it's subscribers in clear, artistic pie lures The rotogravure section is a tribute to the enterprise of the great journal that stands as a monument to the memory of it's founder Gen. Otis
 The Times Illustrated Magazine is retained and continues to exploit its particular field as a distinct and inter- esting magazine of the Southwest.

PROVIDENCE

lIhe Christian Science Monitor)
 The Bible contains many a refer ence to the providence of God, all through its pages are to be found ailusions to Gods protecting care over men. Cast thy burden upon the Lord says the writer of the flfty fifth Psalm, and he shall sus- tam thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved" That writer spoke with assurance, as one whose iaith was established on absolute Knowledge. In Isaiah, too, it is written: For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge | rom the story, a shadow from the heat These thoughts were set down 1 before the coming of Christ Jesus
 of him who revealed to mankind mans unity with God the Father and brought out Gods infinite care fol all His creation; and yet they have the ring of certitude about them; they read as language without taint of misgiving. 2@QG

Austrian Chief of Staff is
Preparing For Autumn
Campaign
(By Associated Press.l

London. Aug. 9.-Recent reports
that the present German offensive in
southwest Russia is aimed at the
capture Of Odessa are strengthened
by dispatch to The Times from
that city, saying that. the belief is
growing there that the port is Ger
many's main objective and that
Bessarabie will soon become the prin-
cipal theater of operations, as the
enemy presses toward Odessa. The
correspondent adds that the harvest
is now being reaped in southern
Russia and the enemy doubtless will
try to secure it before it can be re-
moved.
Rome, Aug. 9.-Military circles
report that General Conrad Won
Hoetzendorff, Austrian chief of staff,
has moved his headquarters from
the Trentino to the Isonzo, ordered
huge artillery concentrations, has
Withdrawn a majority of the troops
from the first line to spare them
from bombardments, and has taken
others measures apparently for an
autumn campaign.
These moves. says The Idea Naz-
ionale, have been provoked by ac-
tivity on the Russian front, although
they have been slow in coming be-
cause the Austrian military authori-
ties, even in defiance of the German
supreme command, have hesitated
to repeat their mistakes of year
ago when they weakened their
Italian lines to proceed against GEN
eral Brusiloff.

a negro of Jacksonville, Fla. the
only American survivor of the Brit

"A torpedo hit the engine room.

we did. Then the commander went

Colorless Liquid Fired In
Small Shells Produces
Heavy Gas
WOMEN ARE THE
CHIEF VICTIMS
Many Have Died in French
Hospitals From It's
Effects
CBy Associated Press.)

Hazebrouck, France. Aug. Brit
ish medical officers are trying to de-
termine the new poison used, it is
believed, for the first time by the
Germans on the French town of
Armentieres near the Belgian from
tier. The poison bore a certain re-
semblance to the gas which tempo
rarily blinded a large number of
British troops a fortnight ago, but
its effects are infinitely more seri-
Gus.
Several persons taken from Ar
mentieres are in a grave condition.
Many have died in hospitals. The
first time the new poison was OBJ
served II coincided with the firing
into the town Of a hail of small
shells which contained a colorless
liquid. In the streets and in court
yards and gardens, where the shells
burst, traces of the noxious liquid
were found.
After the liquid evaporates 1t
produces a heavy gas which pene-
trates from room to room and
descends into cellars. 1t is tenacious
in character and seems to make
more victims among women than
among men, closing about their hair.
The fumes Of tobacco seem TO act
as an antidote. The odor is various
ly described as resembling that OF
acetyIene, mlgnonette or pungent
mustard.

DEATH TO SQUIRRELS

Prof. w. T. Shaw. head of the 70
ology department of the State Col
lege of Washington, is cooperating
with the department of agriculture
in a raid on the ground squirrel of
the imm ediate vicinity of the college
farm. He has several carbon bisul-
phide guns which shoot the poison
Gus gas into the home of the squirrel.
The holes are then plugged and the
squirrel remains at home to die.
Large areas are covered with these
machines and it is proving almost
invariably fatal to the squirrel 1t
is estimated that three men with two
guns can destroy 1000 squirrels per
day. Now is the psychological time
to destroy the ground squirrel, be-
fore he has done much damange and
before the young are produced.

State College chemists have re-
ceived letters from the L. S. Bu-
reau of Mines, in cooperation with
the American Chemi cal Society, in
the interest of a complete prepared
ness Census of the chemists of the
United States. Each one is asked
to detail his training and indicate
the kind and quantity of work he is
willing to do for his country in the
present crisis. In this way a nearly
complete roster of chemists will be
at the Governments disposal.
The European struggle has proved
to be war of chemistry and engin-
eering. In the early months of the
conflict the allies made the mistake.
OF allowing their technically trained
men to enlist for service in the
trenches The L. S. is profiting by
European experience and will make
use of her chemists from the begin
ming. State College Seniors and fac
ulty in Chemistry are being asked to
register for this technical service.

PREPAREDNESS
IN AGRICULTURE

In this time of war preparation,
attention on every side is being
called to the question of conserva-
ton of food supply. In doing this,
the farmers Of the Northwest are
urged to keep in mind the food sup
ply of the future as we'll as for the
present year. Probably the greatest
danger to agriculture in time of war
and high prices is the temptation on
the part of the farmer to sell his
breeding stock. Once the country is
depleted Of breeding stock, years are
required to re-establish the live
stock industry on a normal basis
Heifers and brood sows should not
be thrown on the market even
though prices are exceedingly tempt
ing.
Director Ira d. Cardiff of the
Washington Experiment Station
urges it as a patriotic duty of every
farmer of the state to conserve the
females of his herds for the main
tclance aud stability of agricultural
conditions after the stress of war
has passed. If the farmers Of Wash
ington will give attention 10 this mat
ter, it will go a long way toward
maintaining the agricultural pros
perity of the state in the days of de-
preston which are sure to follow a
war period.
