STIMULATE RIVALRr
BY SPECIAL AWARDS
Premiums For Exhibits at Trenton
Fair-To Cooperate With.
Government

Cooperation of Trenton Fair, which
will be open from Sept "a to Is, will
be given the Federal government In
advancing educational campaigns
among the people for wartime meas
ures
The decision to hold the exposition
this year was reached after national
officers and the representatives of other
countries advised business as usual
plan" The necessity Of providing
means for relaxation and recreation
was early recognized by leading men
Of the country, and the position occu-
pied by the fairs was seen to offer an
opportunity in this field. The stimulus
afforded for rivalry In better efforts in
crop production and workshop exhibits
carried with it an advantage for the
commercial progress of the nation.
AS an inducement for extra effort,
the Fair Association has offered special
premiums for products from home gar
dens. A total of $3.50 win be awarded
for different varieties Of vegetables.
The boys and girls who are members
Of canning clubs may also win 500 In
addition to the premiums placed for
adults. To create rivalry for standard
cattle the Milking Shorthorn Associa.
ton of New Jersey has placed $3.50
making total of $1,000 for that class
In every branch money awards may be
won by exhibitors for practical dis
plays.

Among curious popular fallacies is
the idea that an individual may become
obese without eating too much and
may remain obese even when very lit
tie food is taken. If person each day
eats a butter bali Weighing only third
Of an ounce in excess Of the food
actually needed it seems trifing, insig-
nifcant, but continued over a year it
would involve gain in weight of nine
pounds Of fatty tissue or in ten years
Of ninety pounds. An ounce of bread
or half a glass of milk more than the
food requirement for the day will bring
about the same result Conversely, If
the quantity Of food taken be only
slightly below the needs of the body
some of the body's own fat is used and
the body weight falls, a process which
may be extended over long period of
time.-Dr. Graham Lusk In Worlds

= OMIC Opera is small joke en-
tirely surrounded by costumes.
If necessary, the joke may be
omitted and more costumes added.
Next to the moving-picture show
the comic opera is the chief boon of
the deaf man. 1t is constructed by a
stage manager with an eye for
beauty, and press agent with an
eye for truth--a weather eye. The
stage manager hires the chorus.
costumes them negatively and
teaches them how to dance, play
football, walk on their hands,
scratch their ears with their toes,
ride in automobiles, and turn their
mash notes over to the press agent.
The life Of the chorus girl Is very
hard one. and most of them are COM
PEELED to retire on their incomes at
an early age. &
The chorus in the comic opera Is
assisted by a comedian or prima
donna whose business II is to fur
nish name for the headlines In the
rlaybills. The chorus attends to the
headlines In the newspapers. The
comedian is so called because Of the
costume which he wears. A good
comedian will often wear a costume
with as many as fifty distinct laughs
in It. The clowns costume was once
popular. but has been abandoned as
too conventional In late years.
The scenery is also an important
part Of comic opera. A very comic
opera will sometimes carry ten Tar
loads Of scenery. The scenery is very
popular because IL does not sing or
dance and seldom insists on being
Ancored.
There is also music In comic
opera Originally. new music was
written for each new opera, but now
adays our natural resources are con-
served and the same music lie used
in all of them. This years operas
use last years tunes backwards.
Next years operas will cut the melo-
dies In two and shuttle them Music
is now used chiefly to drown the
conversation Of the chorus and to
keep the audience from hearing the

Comic operas are also afflicted with

THE ALBUMEN. WE NEED.
Foods That Produce II and How They
Compare With Meat.

Foods That Produce II and How They
Compare With Meat.
why do we eat meatf' asks DR.
Daniel Claude In an article IN Nature,
and he answers his question by saying
First to supply the albumen necessary
to our bodies, then because meat Is a
pleasant food, easily digested and as
simulated"
Many psychologists have estimated
the quantity of albumen necessary to
our systems and have given widely
differing figures, but today 1t is gen.
orally held that one grain per day, per
kilogram Of body weight is ample
that is to say, that a man weighing
100 pounds actually needs only be-
tween five and six ounces of albumen
a day. Children and growing youths
need more. Meat, however, is not the
only food that is rich in albumen. A
quarter Of Brie cheese, for instance,
contains as much albumen as half q
pound Of beefsteak. Lentils, peas and
beans are from 90 to % per cent albu-
men. which means that these vegeta-
bles are worth actually more than
steak and cost far less.
According to DR.. Claude, our daily
needs in the way Of albumen can be
satisfied by any one Of the following:

OPERATING A SUBMARINE.
The Method When the Ship h About
to Make an Attack.

The Method When the Ship h About
TO Make an Attack.
Every submarine has its commander
generally a captain-who acts as the
very brains Of the ship. No one else
can give orders, for so interconnected
are all the machines that the conflict
ing commands from more than one Off
Ger would almost surely result In an
accident; hence every one reports d.
rectly to the captain through the sec
ond officer in command, who, by the
way, is also responsible for the correct
operation Of everything from the bali
last tanks to the torpedoes.
In making the attack the captain
mans the periscope in the main oper-
attng room, just beneath the coming
tower. The lenses and prisms in the
periscope tube transmit the images
from the sighting piece above the wa
ter down to the periscope eyepiece.
When the vessel dives the decks are
first cleared. Then the matches are
sealed down and the oil engines are
stopped In quick succession. Storage
batteries are turned on. to drive the
electric propelling motors. Electric
machinery must be used under water
because the oil engines consume pre-
cious air and exhaust poisonous gases.
On the next word from the captain
water from outside is allowed to I'LL
the huge ballast tanks in the central
hull Other ballast tanks at the ends
Of the boat are partially filed to hold
the ship on an even keel This trim
ming Of the submarine, of course, can
be delicately controlled by the buoyan-
cy gauges and controls In the operating
room.
The weight Of all this water causes
the submarine to sink, but not COM
pletely.. The horizontal rudders at the
stern Of the ship are used to give the
final touches to the dive. The COM
mander directs the man at the wheel
how far down he wishes to go. By
watching the depth gauges In front Of
him the wheelman can so tip the div
ing rudders that the proper depth can
be found Immediately and held exactly.
It takes but minute or two to dive.
In torpedoing a ship the vessel must
be turned to aim the torpedo tubes,
which lie parallel with the central axis
Of the submarine-in the bow. The
command is given to fire. The gunners
IN the forward compartment receive
the order through speaking tubes or
telephones. The torpedo is discharged
from its tube by compressed air.-Pop-
ular Science Monthly.
