automobiles should be found. To list
them for the emergency of sudden
troops movement is not enough. There
is much work to be done now. The
most pressing work is the solution Of
our food problem, and it is largely a
problem of transportation, as the Off
Gals of the department of agriculture
are well aware. Short though many
of our crops will be this year, many
thousands of tons of food are likely to
rot on the ground for lack of freight
cars to carry them to market. Another
immense wastage is due to the fact
that the farmer who produces more of
any vegetable or fruit than he can use
at home, but not enough to make a
wagonload or carload, generally can
not profitably bring it to market. We,
therefore, have a great waste of food
for lack of transportation, and a great
transportation power going to waste,
so far as any industrial purpose is con-
cerned. These two wastes should be
combined to form a great saving.
Not long ago practical farmer and
an editor in a certain town were dis
cussing the food problem, and arrived

HOW TO USE CAR IN SERVING COUNTRY

at the above conclusion. They also
evolved a plan which will probably be
put into effect.
The plan discussed was to save as
much as possible of the food which
would otherwise be wasted by forming
a volunteer organization of automo-
bilists to 60 about and gather it up.
Inasmuch as both the food and the
automobiles are undoubtedly available
in most sections of the country, the
plan should be workable.
Fruit and Vegetable Surplus.
The food supply gathered in this way
would consist chiefly of the surplus
production of fruits and vegetables
upon farms and suburban places. This
surplus production, which is generally
either wasted or fed to stock, is much
greater than most persons realize. It
is due to the simple and inevitable
circumstance that no farmer can accu-
rately predict how much of q given
truck of fruit crop his garden or Or
chard will yield in a given year. For
example, one farmer who was consult
ed with regard to this plan said sew.
eral tons of good food were wasted
upon his place every year, because he
produced more than he could use In
fruits and vegetables, but seldom had
enough at any one time to make 1t
profitable to haul the stuff to market.

The Rural Store Philosopher.

To deride the whittlers and the gro
Gerry store philosophers shows intoler-
ance. In these days of quick locomo-
ton and communication our mental
processes have speeded up until the
leisurely discussions of the old-fash-
toned days are apt to be laughed at,
saws the Pittsburgh GaZette-Times. But
the scoffer may find by a tour Of in
vestigation, especially among country
tom stores that keep open in the eve
ming and are heated with a coal stove,
that soap boxes and backless chairs
may be the seats of the elect. That is,
in the argumentative circle are to be
found very often the thinkers of
small community, compelled to make
the corner store their club, with
membership truly representative of
the great common people. Lincoln had
many of the characteristics of the ru-
raj store philosopher and he never des-
pissed, rather valued, humble American
opinion. Conclusions reached around
the stove aren't always so far wrong.

How can l use my automobile in
the service of my country?
That is a question which interests
almost every owner of machine in
America. Already a census is being
taken of automobiles and their owners,
so that when these are needed the gov
eminent can obtain them with the least
possible delay, writes Frederic j. Has
kin in Chicago Daily News. There
are over 100000 autos in the country.
This is certainly a tremendous trans
portation force. And its value is in
creased by the fact that very large
part of these cars are owned only for
pleasure and so are not essential to our
present industrial organization. Fur
thermore, the ownership of an automO-
bile is usually an indication of intelli-
gence and of the possession of certain
amount of property. We have then GER
tainly over a million cars serving no
essential purpose except the recreation
of their owners. These owners are
men and women of better than aver
age ability who can afford to devote
time and money to the service of their
country, and it may be safely assumed
that large percentage of them would
like to render that service.

HE WAS WILLING TO WAIT
Jim Had No Objection to Postponing
His Legal Demise Until After
Watermelons Were Ripe.

Jim was a guest of the state. In
fact, he was ordained to be such a
guest until his demise, for which event
the state had also fixed date and
place, providing also an appropriate
length Of rope, sheriff and the ap-
purtenances. 1t all came of Jim's
having miscalcuhted upon the hard
ness Of Luke's head upon the &C.
casion of a falling out. The mistake
had been fatal to Luke. Jim's turn
was at hand.
The sheriff, after the manner of
his Office, desired to be kind to Jim.
Accordingly on the day Immediately
before the ceremony, certain day in
January, he asked Jim what he would
like for dinner. Jim reflected care
fully.
"Boss," he said, "Ah'd like a waiter
million"
"Brace up, JIM" the sheriff re-
sponded. "Watermelons won't be ripe
for six months yet"
Boss" answered Jim, earnestly, "ef
It's jes' de same to you, Ah'll wait till
then"

Thus in a good year for tomatoes, six
vines will supply his family with all
the tomatoes he can use but in bad
year for tomatoes 60 vines would hard
ly yield enough. He plants about 40
vines, and if the crop is heavy large
proportion of it is allowed to rot on
the ground. In the same way last
year all the watermelon vines he plant
ed did not give him two really good
melons, but this year he may be able
to feed watermelons to his hogs. Every
small mixed orchard in the country
represents tons of waste. If it Is
good year for peaches, then peaches
are wasted, while apples may be
scarce; and the next year the order
may be reversed.
Now the total of food wasted in
this way within radius of 80 miles Of
a town in any good farming section is
enormous. If this great quantity of
food could be brought to town the cost
of living would be greatly reduced.
And if all the automobiles in that town
were devoted for one day a week to the
of this food, large part of
it could be saved.

on toggle arms fulcrumed on the cross

Discharge of Sand.
When the driver moves his lever for
ward, the outlet pipes swing down
and backward, the opening of the
disks on the pipes increasing as
the lever is moved forward. When
the ends of the outlet pipes are
nearest the peripheries of the
whees, the disks are fully open.
The greatest amount of sand is dis
charged when they are in this position.
In intermediate positions they are not
open so wide, so that smaller amount
is deposited on the roadway.
This method for preventing skiddIng
is less severe on the tires than any of
the others now in use. Chains placed
on the rear tires, for example, tend to
wear themselves into the tires. The
indentations they make weaken the
tires prematurely. When sand is dis
under the tires, there is no
more wear than when an automobile is
travelling over country road. No in
dentations are made, and the life Of
the tires is not shortened as a con-
sequence.
The sand makes it possible to travel
over icy pavements as well as over
roads that are simply slippery from the

When, where and by whom was the

When, where and by whom was the
"better babies" movement started?
The proper name is the eugenics
movement, which means the study of
agencies under social control that may
improve or impair the racial qualities
of future generations, either physically
or mentally. In the field of research
and discussion the pioneer was Sir
Francis Cation, who died in 1911, aged
eighty-nine, an English scientist, cous-
in of Charles Darwin, who opened up a
new field of inquiry regarding human
betterment by normal means and espe-
cially by education in sanitary laws
and public hygiene.
Cation first used the word eugenics
and gave an impulse to the study of
heredity and other laws bearing on
what he called the improvement of the
human breed. He was the founder of
modern eugenics Tor "better babies'D
movement. He was a vOluminous writ
er on the subject, and the University of
London has a Francis Gallon eugenics
laboratory, containing all his works.
