Of other families in which there may
be infectious diseases. Such, in SUBJ
stance, is report just issued by the
United States public health service
after an investigation by Nj. c. Schroe-
der and s. G. Switzerland of the New
York department OF health. For what
ever disease germs are not killed in the
washing will be killed by the ironing.
In fact, the ironing kills more germs
than the washing.
There Is, however, danger in having
clothes washed by laundress at her
own home, for, lowing to the close
quarters in which the laundresses live,
there is possibility of reinfection of the
clean linen If communicable diseases
are present among the members Of the
laundress' family"

From War Preparedness Board.

Lansing, Mic, May 5.-Numerous
inquiries from all over the state arc
coming to the War Preparedness
Board in regard to the aviation SER
vice. At least a score of Michigan
young men have applied for informa-
ton and assistance in. this respect
Flying is an important branch of the
war service and the aviators, those
that are trained and those yet to be
trained, are urgently needed.
Aviation is regarded as part of the
duties Of the Signal corps of the
army and National Guard. The army
supply of machines is being steadily
increased by the factories which are
working night and day to turn out
aircraft. Within comparatively a
short time, the National Guard signal
companies accepted for United States
service will receive machines.
Michigan has one signal company,
located at Ypsilanti, and the war de-
partment desires that it be increased
by another company, forming bat
TALON. Recruits are desired by the
captain, Glenn Arnold, of Ypsilanti.
Young men of Michigan who desire
to enter the flying corps can enter the
organization at once and learn the
rudiments of drill during the weeks
following the calling out of the Guard
for service. They will then be in line
for assignment to airplanes.
In the event that airplanes are not
Immediately available, however, they
can transfer to the flying corps of the
army, as such transfers are encourage
ed. A certain amount of training
other than with aircraft, is needed by
the signal corps men and this can be
secured by preliminary training be-
fore the call comes.
The Michigan Signal corps had an
airplane at Grayling camp last sum-
mer and it was in use for several
weeks prior to being wrecked by
violent storm.

FLAG OF GREECE.
The Standard Adopted by the National
Assembly In 1922,

Assembly In 1922.
The ancient Greeks had no standard,
although they venerated the emblems
on their shields as we our flag. The
first flag used by the Greeks was dec
grated with a two headed eagle and
was used in the revolt against the
Turks in 1464. In the revolution of
1869 a white flag with a blue cross was
raised.
In 1903, when Ali Pasha was ravag
ing Thessaly, John Stathans led flo.
tilla into Skiathos under flag which
was the same as that in use at the
present day-blue with white cross.
The first flag Of the great revolution
was raised by Marco Botzaris on Oct.
%, 1920. 1t was white with an icon
Of st. George.
On Jan. !, 1922. the national assem-
bly, In Epidaurus. at the foundation of
the independence of Greece, defined
the Greek flag as follows: On the land
nine horizontal stripes. a plain blue
flag In four quarters with a white
land flag" On the sea, nine horizon
tai stripes, five blue and four white.
with a blue square i'm the corner In
four quarters. on which is white
cross,
This is the flag known as the Greek
flag today. The blue ground is very
dark.--Indianapolis News.

TRAIL OF The SUBMARINE "

Keen Eyed Watcher.

IL Always estrsys It's Prssencs TO che
Keen Eyed Watcher.
A submarine always reveals her pres.
ence to the seeing eye. If near the
surface hee Jeriscope leaves the be-
traying wake, and even when she Is
100 feet or more under water she al
ways disturbs the surface in a way
that, to the experienced observer,
makes her presence known. The watch
err in an airplane quickly sees such
disturbances, even IL the submersible is
too far under the sea to be seen itself.
But the important fact is that the
submarine spends most of her time on
the surface. One famous submarines
ability to sail seventy miles under wa
ter without rising is regarded as a
great achievement. Most submarines,
thnt Is, cannot keep submerged nearly
so long. The reason is that II has to
Some to the surface to recharge its
electric batteries.
This recharging is done by the oil
engines, which can work only on the
surface because Of the exhaust. In
addition to its other disadvantages
this recharging process makes a noise
that can be heard five miles away.
While undergoing this ordeal the sub

such as motorboat can carry, can

The Giraffe as IL Feeds.

The singular shape of the giraffe is
adapted to its habits of life. 1t feeds
on the young branches and top shoots
Of the trees. and its long fore legs and
neck enable 1t to browse at far great
er height than any other animal. In
feeding 1t stretches up its neck and
with its long prehensile tongue. which
1t can prOtrude to surprising dis
lance, hooks down the tender shoots
and leaves into its mouth. But the
creatures peculiar form, though ell
aiding IL to feed on what 1t likes best,
is sometimes the cause of its destruc-
ton. The fore legs are so long that to
reach the ground it has to stretch them
wide apart and bend down its neck In
a semicircle, and while drinking In
this defenseless attitude the lion or
leopard springs upon it and overpow-
ers it before it can recover itself.

Sergeant Walter Figgy and priv

and Otis Johnson of the First Ohio
Ambulance Corps who were recently
mustered out of the Federal Service
at Chicago are at home for a few
days. Thirty minutes after they were
mustered out of the Federal Service
orders were received not to muster
out any Of the military organizations
that were at Central Headquarters for
rehabilitation purposes; the boys
are still in the Ohio State Service
and have been ordered to report at
Toledo in about ten days; these men
are quite likely to be recalled to the
Federal Service; their service on the
Mexican border has trained and har-
dened them to service so that they
are much more efficient than raw re-
cruits or even the troops who have not
seen service of this kind could pos
sibly be. The Boosters Club will
give the boys an informal reception
at the Pythian Castle Hall next Mon
day evening.

Miss Gay Zenola MacLaren delight
ed a large audience at the High School
Auditorium last Monday evening with
her rendition of the popular play
Bought and Paid For" Her versatile
ty in character delineation is to say
the least, remarkable. She made every
character in the drama stand out dis
tinctly and there were six of them,
each being presented so vividly by
Miss MacLaren that they seemed ac-
tually present on the stage. If one
character was presented better than
any of the others, it was that OF
Jimmy Billy" who kept the audience
laughing at his every "appearance.'
The number was not only the best OF
the present course, but it is one OF
the best ever given in a Wauseor
lecture course. The High School Sen.
iors of 1917 are to be congratulated
on having had the honor of present
ing Miss MacLaren to a Wauseor
audience and we hope that it will no
be her last appearance in our city.
