The bird persistently operated his beak on the top of the box for several intervals of i've to fifteen minutes with the result that sthe paint was slightly scared in several places, but so far as could be ascertained, with no damaging effect to the beak.

 Scientific Discovery os Value.
 The British Medical Journal an. hounces that a remarkable scientific discovery is now on trial at the casual ty clearing stations in France. The in' ventor :. James Shearer, Scotchman Twenty years old, employed as ser geant in the medical corps. The new discovery succeeds just where X-ray photography fnils. It produces pie lures of structures located far below the surface of the outer skin just at the point where X-ray photography ceased to perform effectively. By .Means of it, it is possible in broad daylight to obtain detailed pictures of the internal organs and to see at glance by what gross lesions they may be affected The apparatus works as long as the body is living, and even until molecular death has set in.

NAVY PLANS

Washington. d. c., June 11.-Secre-

ing statement:
THE nav department has reason to
believe that information OF a charac-
ter most valuable to the enemy and
which might prove most disastrous to
the navy, has in some way reached the
enemy.
Tn view of the strenuous efforts that
have been made to prevent the dissem-
nation Of such informationSthe depart
ment believes that in practically every
instance this has resulted from certain
information being given in confidence
to, or spoken in the presence OF a close
relative or a friend who failing to. APP
preciate the gravity Of the offense, In
advertently transmitted 1t into the

casions endeavored to impress upon
every one in the naval service the urg-
ent necessary for carefully guarding
against the discrimination OF any mill
tary information. which could possibly
be Of advantage to an enemy. The SIT
uatton at this time.A entirely too grave
to permit OF a continuance Of the pres-
ent practice in this regard.

Washington. d. c.. June 11.-As the
result of an important conference last
night between Herbert C. Hoover and
the members of labor group in con-
sress. led by Representatives Heating
and Nolan, as we'll as President Comp
ers inc other American Federation Of
Labor officials, the powerful labor sup
port is assured for the food control
bill. American Federation of Labor
leaders. without going into details, de-
scrlbed the conference as "highly sat
isfactory."
Mr.. Hoover was asked whether he
would aim at reductions in prices on
staples for the consumers, and he gave
MS hearers assurances on this score.
Washington, June 11.-Patriotism will
be made the basis Of food control during
he war at the start. Autocratic mea-
sures. such rs absolute price fixing and
requisition, will not be utilized until it
becomes absolutely necessary.
Its argued that from the farm to the
Kitchen the regulation for prices be
made voluntarily, according to a state
ment given out by Herbert c. Hoover,
food director.
"Slackers" and "skunks' as Hoover
terms those who might refuse to enter
the proposed agreement, will be taken
care of by powers authorized by con-
greSS.
Proposes Controlling Body.
Hoover proposes to have a controlling
body. This body would be made UP of
representatives Of every link in the
chain from the producer to the consum-
err. They will work for a voluntary
food supply and greatly reduce prices.
There are certain to be a few objectors
but Is per cen OF those to be called or
will reSpond on patriotic grounds, he
said. Hoover believes that powers to
requisition must be given the govern
rnent to make the other 25 per cent fol-
low the leader.
Here is Hoover's plan worked out
from farmer to housewife with wheat
as a basis: Reach al agreement on
a price for wheat, say $1.5O a bushel.
based on a 1O-year prewar price.
Cali the elevate owners and say,
"The farmers are willing to give you
wheat at. $1.50 per bushel. The govern
ment will arrange to give you money
going to the Chicago auction market"
Cut Flour Pfice in Half.
Call the millers together and tell them
that the elevators have the wheat at a
grading basis and are nov ready to
sell it to the miller at a price to be
stipulated.
The miller will then be urged to mill
a straight flour and agree on a straight
charge SO that the consumer will get
the flour at a flat rate with some va
ration for transportation, following
S1.50 wheat.
Through this course it would result
in flour to the consumer at $3.50 or 81
a barrel, about one-half the present
price.
