Scores of amendments were dis
posed of Saturday, but the principal
features were the incorporation of the

situation. The government guarantees
for wheat would be payable at all

Relationship Is Closer Than Most Peo-
pie Realize, According to U. S.
Bureau Of Entomology.

Entomology, hat branch of zoology
which treats of insects, has a much
closer relation to war problems than
most people realize. and the bureau Of
entomology has asked that pamphlets,
circulars, posters, leaflets, etc, pertain
ing to war phases of the field Of
science he sent to its office in Wash
ington, so that they a be assembled
and classified for future reference, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Among the questions that properly
come under this head and have a bear
ing on the war are those pertaining to
the attacks of insects on crops, the
prevention of mosquitoes, insects in
food and water. and so on. While
many publications will not possess ma
terial of special scientific value, all

number from prominent ministers of
various churches. A few of these are
printed below.

Humor From British Tar.

An incident illustrative of the quiet
honor of the British tar is thus de-
scribed:
In Modros harbor, in the eastern
Mediterranean, a coxswain of the navy
ran his picket boat into a trawler, and,
knowing his error. listened with dis
ciplinary patience while the irate mas
ter expressed his views on royal naval
picket boats in a wealth of invective.
The silent coxswain pushed off, but,
passing under the stern of the trawler,
looked up at one of the crew and
shouted:
"What do you feed your old man on?
Acid drops?"-London Tit-Bits.
