effect, and on June Is. Secretary
of State James R. holland issued
80, 900 permits for the importa.
ton of liquor into Colorado.
Each of these permits. only one

tied quantity allowed by the new
law two quarts liquor other
than wine or beer. or six quarts
of wine. or twenty.four quarts
of beer.
On June rs. Secretary holland
was compelled hastily to print
10000 more applications and per.

essary by the demands of those
who feared that the federal law,
in effect July !, might interfere
with the importation into Colo
RADIO of liquor even in the very
dry and limited amount allowed
by the present Colorado statue.
But because of the limited
amounts allowed. and in spite of
the 80. 900 or $4,000 permits

certainly more SO than any other

BETTER FIRE
INSPECTION

Alarmed at the frightful waste of prop
erty in fires, many communities are TAX
ing hold of fire prevention with much en-
thusiasm. 1t is work that is needed in
nearly every town. Most of our fires have
been in the preventable class.
Columbia, No. town of 10000 people
lost S177,000 worth of property in one
years fires. Stirred to action by this
serious depletion of their resources, they
started a fire prevention campaign.
Buildings were thoroughly inspected,
rubbish removed and educational work
conducted. Next year the fire loss was re-
duced to $4,000, and the next year to
$4,000.
In one way insurance is a misfortune.
People feel that as they can protect
themselves fro mseriOus loss, therefore
they do not need to take pains against
fire. The result is that everyone is care
less If we don't pay insurance ourselves,
we pay costs of doing business in which
Insurance is stable item.
In communities that take this up in real
earnest, no perfunctory examination is
made. The inspector complains of rub
Dish accumulation, talks to housewives
about careless use Of gasoline, rebukes
householders for allowing chimneys to
get filled up with SCOT and for using
flues that are defective.
OVerheated stoves and furnaces are a
fruitful source of fires. Many people dis
pose Of rubbish by burning it in the house
at this time Of year. The smoke pipe may
have rOtted out in summer, allowing the
sparks and flames to go onto woodwork.
The first kindling of the fall fires is a
time that firemen dread. 1t costs but little
to educate public sentiment, and it saves
a great deal. Unfortunately there are
some people who will not remove hazard
Gus conditions unless actually prosecuted

TEACH THEM
TO SHOOT

A field artillery officer writes home
from France to one of the army publica-
tons, urging the war department to give
our men plenty of artillery practice.
Each division of he>National Army, he
says, should have a school of field artil-
lery fire similar to that conducted at
Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
This officer argues that the fall and
winter are good time for artillery work,
since ranges can then be had on farm
land with less interference with farm &C.
equations and the life of the people in
the nelghbOrhOOd. He complains that
there is far too little knowledge of artil-
tefy IN the army.
All this sounds like good stuff In the
Gays when we were far from thought of
war; IL was almost impossible to get Con-
greSs TO appropriate money for big guns
ana ammunition. There was plenty of
money for marble post offices in seclud-
eu hlamletS. Artillery practice was re-
garded as about like July Fourth cele-
DraCloil, harmless but useless patriotic
dow out 1t does cost money, and Con-
gresS never saw how it would help it's
members get reelected.
Inc educated army men have of course
studied the proposition out of books.
But actually conducting big gun, fire
must be another story. When you read
that 1t is the duty of the artillery to fire
from far in the rear over the heads of
the line advancing to attack, the neces-
SHY OF precise accuracy is apparent. The
soldiers who go over the top keep but
few yards behind their own fire. ANY
irregulaIity in the work of the guns
WGGin Murder our own troops.
Artillery fire is an enormous saver OF
human life. 1t pulverizes the enemy'5
trench system and greatly reduces the
resistance the enemy can offer. We shall
apparently have good supply of shells
along the trench line 1t needs trained
skill to make these shells do their work.

THE ITALIAN
DEFEAT

The explanation so far given for the
great defeat and retreat of the Italian
army seems inadequate. The Italians up
to this catastrophe had conquered the
most stupendous difficulties. The English
and French could barely make progress
in level country. Yet those plucky ltal"
ian fighters could hack their way over
preciWtous cliffs and high mountains.
1t is hard to believe that the Italians
. could have met this great defeat on the
basis of fighting ability alone, or even
from superior German strategy. 1t looks
like treachery somewhere. Not that any
hnit of the Italian army or any command
err has played false, for these soldiers
have shown splendid patriotic feeling.
1t will be recalled that when the Rou-
manians were defeated last year it was
reported that German spies ha dsecured
for German headquarters the full plans
Of the Roumanian staff.
1t looks like case Of that steady leak
of information that goes on all the time
through the German spy system. This
system, established by the Germans in
all the allied countries before the war, is
now producing results. 1t constantly in
forms the German commanders about
conditions inside the allied armies One
cannot help feeling that through this spy
system Germany became aware that
there was weak and poorly guarded
back door to the Italian line, and was
tipped off by its agents as to how that
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-11-13

door could be broken open.
This does not mean that any Italians
have sold out their country only that all
through each allied country German
spies are secretly listening and transmit
ting information 1t shows what a terri
BILE threat German power is, and how the
nations of the earth must strive to put
down power that thus seeks to control
the whole earth by these insidious means.

TWO WEEKS COURSE
IN FARM TRACTORS TO
BE GIVEN AT u. A. C..

A two weeks intensive course In
farm tractors designed especially for
owners, prospective owners, imple-
ment men, and manufacturers of
tractors has been arranged to begin
December 3 at the Utah Agricultur-
al College, by L. r. Humphreys, as
sociate professor of farm mechanics.
This course will run during the first
two weeks of the regular winter
term which extends from December
3 to March 10.
In view of the present scarcity of
tractor operators, the work is es-
pecially timely. The present labor
shortage has brought the tractor into
general usage, SO that next season
will see an even greater demand for
men who can operate tractors than
has the past summer. The following
topics will be discussed in the above
course:
Fundamental principles of tractor
design; tractor operation; practice in
assembling parts; carburetors and
their adjustment; magnetos and
magnetic troubles; fabrication and
lubricants; soldering and babbiting;
scraping and adjusting bearings;
timing cam valve. and ignition sys-
tens; tractor troubles; valve grind
ing; tractor bitches, plows and plow-
ing.
a Twelve weeks course In farm
tractors will begin Oh the same date
for those who can remain for the
entire winter term.

THE HUNTING
SEASON

The fall Of the year is ime when the
thoughts of many men turn to the woods.
Our people have been So intense over the
war that the usual number of SpOrtsmen
will not go out this fall The young men
who used to be in the field ftr anything
from rabbit to deer, are getting ready
to try their skill on bigger game. But the
crack of the rifle and the shot gun will
still be heard Many men as usual will
go great many miles to get their chance
at the diminishing store of wild game
The owner Of timber and the farmer
dread these incursions of town bred peo.
pie into the woods. Lands where once the
game seeker and the camper could wan.
der freely, are now forbidden to the,
public. 1t is regretable to have Gmita-.
tons thrown about this enjoyment of,
wild life. But camping parties are so no.
toriously reckless that it has been newt
able.
Town bred people do not realize how
easily fire will start in wild country.
Dead leaves, pine needles, and dry brush
turn the ground into finder box. You
can go over camp fire and stamp out
every visible spark, and yet there will be
fire left that will often eat it's way along
to highly inflamable material. The only
safe way is to give camp fire thor
ough soaking with water.
This loss of timber by fires increases
the cost of lumber and is one cause of the
high cost of building houses. Every man
who enters the woods this fall should
keep this in mind.
Also don't fire your gun every time
you hear or see something move in the
bushes. With the present ratio between
game and sportsmen, the chances are
even that it is another hunter. If you
must shoot this kind of game, then enlist
in the army.

HATS ARE OF MANY SHAPES
There Never Was a Time When There
Was So Great a Variety as Is
Found This Season.

There never was a time when hat
shapes were so diversified as they are
this season; In fact, there are so many
varieties that it would be impossible
for any type of woman to be hated
u~nbecomingly.
There are many shapes that tend to
the Napoleon styles novelty %trfcorns,
models that show the influence of the
Spanish and hats that are adaptations
Of the Breton.
The d%irectoire and the marquis
shapes come in for much attention,
and shapes that are seemingly inspired
by the Alpine. Poke mushrooms there
are in plenty with their short backs
and long fronts that coquettishly
shade the eyes.
Then there's the hat with the irreg.
ular brim edge-sides that shoot out
suddenly in points with the opposite
brim much narrower and perhaps just
describing a round edge. Then again
the crowns are irregular-some show
the four indentations that n asso.
GATES with the soldier hat; then there
is the japanese crown that is highly
peaked.

BIG DESIGNS IN cRET0NNES
Tendency Is Toward Large Figures
Especially for Window Curtains
and Chair Cushions.

There is, perhaps, no very distinctive
chintzes and printed linens-and, per-
haps, that is just what gives them their
characteristic charm. For among them
can be found one to suit every sort Of
taste.
Perhaps the tendency Is toward big
designs-although there are charming
small designs If you want them. But
the big designs are more effective, 1t Is
safe to say, for window curtains and
cushions In chairs-and nowadays
yards and yards Of c%retonne are used
for these purposes. Moreover, the bags
that are made now are SO huge that
even large designs show well on them.
The bird has come to stay In Gre
tonne, and he appears In more gor-
geous plumage than ever this year. He
is most often q parrot, perhaps be-
cause the parrot has such gaudy plum
age by nature that unexaggerated it
makes colorful c%retonne. Sometimes
he is some other sort of tropical bird,
Of gayly colored plumage. Occasionally
he is an almost colorless bird OF some
sort-and In dull rose and gray-black
he is quite as effective as the brilliant
parrot.
Then, little figures, chiefly of Chi
nese and Japanese sort, appear on some
Of the new c%retonnes. These are very
attractive in some places, and are quite
u%nattractive In others. In many of
the smartest new bags they are used to
distinct advantage. And sometimes
they may be employed In hangings
with very good effect.

ing spoonful of molasses. a Ia blespoon-
full of salt, all in milk and water. Stir
in three-quarters cupful of bran, put
into bread bowl and until cool;
then add a cake compressed yeast and
entire wheat -four to make a soft

al hour or more. Mix about Z o'clock
and at 10 o'clock add -four centre
wheat enough to knead. making it Il
little sitter than white bread. Knead
well and let it rise well covered until
morning. Makes two large Ioaves and
twelve muffin pan rolls. In one loaf
knead in about one-half a cupful of
seedless raisins. This is a most deli
cious bread and keeps moist.

Filipino Embroidery Attractive.

AS it becomes more and more d1ffi-
cult to obtain large supplies of French
embroidery there is greater and great
err chance of pushing embroidery from
the Philippines. This embroidery is
really very attractive. 1t is something
like japanese embroidery, but is su-
perior, In the opinion of those who
know both types well. More and more
of it is found in the good shops and,
therefore, 1t is an increasingly large
feature in fashionable trousseaus and
layettes. There have been suggestions
that we might gather further inspira-
ton from these Pacific islands in the
way of models for women's blouses.

Queer Trousers,

Interesting are the trousers OF tights
of the poorest class of gauchos. who

they need a pair of pants they kill an

fore legs as one would draw off a glove.
These are drawn, soft and pliable.
hairy side in, over feet and legs up to
the hips, where they adjust themselves
like tights. They are thus orn con-

cut loose, another old mare is killed,
and the operation is repeated.-Los-A An

lronino Velvet

Velvet must be ironed over the iron
so as not to touch the pile. The best
way is to get some one to hold a hot
iron upward while you draw the velvet
backward and forward along the hot
surface. Keep the velvet well stretched
and go over every piece carefully till
the pile stands up well.
