New Device Designed to Hold Siding
in Place While the First Nail
Is Being Started.

It Is difficult for man to nail siding
on house because he must hold the
board in place while starting the arst
nail, as well as when marking and
cutting the stock. A device made of
a steel bar fitted to weighted section
of pipe 0vercomes this difficulty, says
Popular Mechanics magazine. The
end Of the bar is hooked up to the stud
ding and clamps the board securely.
The clamp is made as follows: Pro-
cure piece of soft galvanized steel
bar 1s by 1 by 80 inches. Bend it
together Ii inches from one end, and
then bend the shorter part to right
angle, inches from the end. Stud
ding is usually ~ by 3A inEhes. and
the end of the longer part of the bar
should be bent to this shape so as
to hook around the studding.
Allowance must be made for the
thickness Of the siding-usually 70
inch-and n inches additional to give
proper clamping force. The handle
is piece of pipe, inches long. After
fitting it over the folded bar, weight
it with about three pounds of lead.
When the piece of siding is to be
fitted into place, hook the clamp on
the studding and drop it to bind. 1t

the clamp near the middle, and slide

Animal Resources of the
Arctics May Relieve Meat
Shortage in United States

AS wars drain on food resources
ervoirs have to be tapped. Already
reindeer meat from Alaska is replac-
ing beef on the Pacific coast, and
Christian Leden. the missiOnary-ex-
plorer of Greenland and Hudson Bay,
sponsors a plan for mobilizing the food
resources of the Arctics, the Boston
Globe says.
1t appears that the Eskimo believ-
ing animals are sent by the great splr-
it to be killed for food, cOnceives it to
be his duty to kill all he sees. Enor-
nous quantities of most valuable meat
are thus wasted-meat which the
Northern tribes could, Mr.. Leden
thinks, easily be induced to save and
sell to the people of the lower altt-
tudes.
The German army, from the very
start of the war, has been fed largely
on dried meat. One pound of dry
meat is equal to five pounds of fresh
meat and it is, in addition, far easier
to transport. The Eskimos are espe-
cially skillful in drying their game,
which would make a resort to this
source of food supply all the more
feasible.
The Arctics are far richer in animal
resources than we of the temperate
zone suppose. Caribou, walrus, sal
mon-all are prolific of foodstuffs, not
to mention the by-products of leather,
furs and oil. 1t is the explorers COM
putation that the Arctics, even moder-
ately exploited, would yield enough
meat to feed 10000 men for year.
He assures US that caribou makes the
best venison. and that the walrus, be-
ing himself fond of oysters, makes
good food.

Send Letters
of Cheer to
Soldier Boys

armies are being prepared for service

of an officer to the mothers and IA

the responsibility for making efficient
and courageous soldiers out of their

hearts, have not discharged your full
