ART IN WARFARE.
Color Schemes Used to Deceive che
Eyes OF the Enemy,


Early In the great world war the
young painters in France formed what
they called the Battalion de la Camou-
le, battalion whose duties consist Of
making up" guns, autos, shelters and
even whole landscapes to deceive the
enemy's eyes-the acroplanes They
impart to munition depot the inno-
cent appearance of prairie The 75's
under their hands take on the sem
blance Of old trees. Tree trunks and
old carts are transfgured by these
artists into formidable batteries on
which the hostile fire may spend itself.
They color the autos to resemble roads
or fields.
The grand chief of the Camou1e is
the celebrated decorator Forain, who
earned his war cross at the front Nor
is this work without its dangers. The
camouaeur must repeatedly ascend In
avions to judge the effect of his work
or to decide on the necessary retouch-
ing to be done. He must sometimes
advance ahead Of the first lines during
the night to take measurements which
will permit him to initiate exactly Il
certain tree trunk or part of crum-
bled wall In No Mans Land, which
must be copied, nodded by clever
sculptors and armored the same night
to serve as shelters for Observers

IRON IN WATER.
Tho Merest Trace Of the Metal vii
lmpart a Distinct Taint

Tho Merest Trace Of the Metal Will
lmpsrt Distinct Taint.
What would you consider one Of the
most powerful agents with which to
flavor water? Would 1t be iron?
A half part per million Of iron in wa
ter is detectable by taste, and more
than four or five parts make a water
unpalatable. In some mineral springs
iron is the constituent which imparts
q medicinal value to the water, but
ordinarily 1t is undesirable.
More than 25 parts per million In
water used for laundering makes q
stain on clothes. Iron must be remov-
ed from water from which ice is made
or cloudy discolored product will re-
suit. An iron content of over two or
three parts per million In water used
in the manufacture Of paper will stain
the paper.
Iron is harmful In water used for
steaming, for 1t is in equilibrium with
acids which inside the boiler become
dissociated, with the result that the
free acids corrode the boiler plates.
but the amount Of iron carried in solu-
ton by most waters is so small that
the damage It does to steam boilers
generally amounts to little. The re
moval OF iron from water is sometimes
easy and sometimes very difficult

Letter Of President Campbell Of the
U. OF o. Regarding the A. r. O.
"The University OF Oregon is eager
to be of all possible service in this
time of national emergency. Some
time ago 1t placed It's extension serv-
ice at the command Of the A. r. G.
Broad, humanitarian motives, as we'll

boys will soon be needing Red Cross

equipped to reach every community

Ilingness to help already so splendidly
shown by the people of Oregon"

Foundation Of Happy MARRIAGE

In the Woman's Home Companion a
writer says:
at was Jane Welsh Carlyle who
wrote these words after thirty years of
married life:
"I married for ambition. Carlyle
has exceeded all that my widest hopes
ever imagined, and | am miserable
"Science has taught us a great many
interesting things about race progress
and eugenics, but the fundamental
principle Of eugenics seems to have
discovered itself very early in the his
tory of the race. Healthy children are
usually those who are born of happy
marriages"

JAPAN HAS LARGE GIVERS"
Far Eastern Empire Close Second to
United States in Public Benefac-
tons by Private Citizens.

While the United States easily holds
the lead In large giving" by private
citizens for public benetieence, japan,
ever eager la the race for civic better
ment, is showing great generosity
among its wealthy toward projects for
the public good, says East and West.
An endowment fund for department
of mediciue for Keio university was
sought last summer. Ii was originally
planned to raise 100000 yen and dur
ing September 100000 yen was rea-
lied, Responses TO the appeal con-
tinued in such generous stream that
by October 10 the sum had increased
to LOT 900 yen. The largest donors
are the Mitsui family, with 100000 yen
and the Mirimura, Homeikwai, Baron
Iwasaki and Mr.. Fujta with 10000 yen
each. Encouraged by the gifts to date,
the university has decided to include
the purchase price of the site i'll the
fund and has raised the mark to 1.500.-
5000 yen. The unexpected generosity
of the donations marks new stage in
the development of Japan. The keio
subscription fund was preceded a short
time ago by 2,0o0,000 yen donations by
individuals In Osaka. One was gift
of 100000 yen to the Osaka munich
pality to be expended for the general
hetterment of the city's inhabitants.
Ansther donation of the same amount
was made TO the Osaka Medical college
for Il department of research.

REAL NAPOLEON OF FINANCE
Private Secretary of Capitalist Hit
Upon Way to Raise His Salary
While Cutting II.

The capitalist knew that the new
company was spending too much
money; also he knew that in some
way they had got to put stop to II.
So anxious was he to reduce expenses
that he offered his private secretary
$50 month extra II he could find
way to cut down current expenses.
The young man overhauled his ac-
counts, but he failed to find u single
expense that could be judiciously cut
down. Just ms lie was about to give
up the promised increase in salary 1t
occurred to him that he was already
< 1ttlng $50 month. Brimming over
with enthusiasm, he sought the cap
italigt.
Il have found way" he said "You
can suve $40 a month on me. | have
taken that amount off my salary"

tenth of second TO see that the
young man was still $l5 month
ahead; but the bargain stood.-New
