GERMANS PLANNING ID BUILD A CANAL THROUGH BELGIUM

Berlin, June 10-Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-A movement is under way to form an associa ton to build a ca nal from Antwerp to Aix-la-Chappelle and Cologne, to link up Belgium with the great German industrial districts. The project is based on the ground that after the war Antwerp will be a port of vast political and economic importance to Ger many"
 The plans now outlined provide for a waterway suitable for large vessels be- tween the great harbor on the Schelot and the Rhine. The Rhenlsh Canal asso- citation now organizing will be on the lines of the Rhne-D Danube association founded in 1el6 It Is expected that the new association will have official recogni- tion and support. and the great industrial regions through which the canal will pass will be called upon to pay most of the expense of construction.
 The completion of the Antwerp-Co- logne canal" says the Cologne Volks- Zeitung, will be the crowning work of the great network of German inland wa terways. It will be the concluding sec ton of the vast enterprise which is open ing up a sea way from south to north from the occident to the orient. from the Atlantic right through central Europe to the Black sea. to the Levant and to the Golden Horn of the present and future.'

"Spealsinr of Movies"

Irwin S. Cobb has written an article on the movies for the Woman's Home Companion in which he says:
 Many of the writers who went into the new field extensively, were in the preliminary negotiations butchered to make a producers holiday. and when they beheld, with horror stricken eyes, the completed product upon the screen, they realized that, thanks to the sce- rario sharp, and the director and the cast, nothing recognizable remained of the mishandled and mangled and mutt lated children of their brain Finally, in any number of cases, came the un- congenial and unpleasant and expensive task of endeavoring to induce, to mako force. the producing company to make proper accoutings at proper intervals. Mind you. I am not saying that the fault for poor presentation of authors notions was always to be put upon N producers. Some writers appeared tc suffer from the delusion that almost any idea was good enough for the film, that neither thought nor work was re- duired of them in order to produce theme and continuity. But, on the other hand, writers who went into the game seriously and with high ideals with an honest desire to build praiseworth hy stories suitable for moving picture pre- sentation, have suffered most grievously by reason of incompetence in the studio as well as by double dealings and shift. ness in the bookkeeping departments and in the executive offices''

NOVEL SAND SHOES
 ARE USED IN EGYPT
Soldiers Wear Wire Ar- arrangements on Feet Which
 Look Like Bird Cages

Somewhere in Egypt, June 1.--(spe- cial Correspondence )-Next time you walk across a wood block pavement and stick in the tar ooze, think of the British army in Egypt. The con trast will make you happier. For one thing the British Tommy would give 5000 for wood blocks.
 But not having pavement, Mir. At kins is compelled to find a way to walk on dry shifting sand. His latest method is the sand shoe. which is made of steel wire. and looks some thing like a flat birdcage. MT. Atkins attaches the cage to his shoes and then can walk along some 10 inches above sand level. while the sand sifts through the meshes of his under shoes. So Tommy can go' on walking with comparative comfort. The diff culties through which he marches to conquer may be gauged from the fact that when the Turks were coming with intent to destroy the Suez canal they had to dig narrow trenches for their big guns and metal these grooves so that the guns could be dragged for ward. They found this method easier than building roads, So Tommy even now goes through what the poets call 'trackless waste" because roads simp- ly do not stay put in the region of sandstorms and desert winds. These sand shoes are a war development, in- vented, like many other things. to cover the necessities of campaigning in strange lands.
 Among the other inventions or adaptations are the military ski and the military snow shoe. In the Alps good deal of accommodating is done on skis and in Russia there have been attacks in which both sides wore snow shoes.
 Among the other adaptations have been spurs, not for cavalry but for digging into treacherous ground, ex- tra heavy boots for trench walking, and varieties of rubber boots for standing long days in the ooze and rain.
 The British soldier on the western front has been relieved somewhat of of "duckboards." These are simply narrow plankings. nailed across long strips, and run down the length of the trench. They are made usually in convalescent camps and they are easy to make because no section can be more than a few feet long, owing u the Zigzag of the trench. Sometm es the blackboard covers a little torrent of water and then it Is reinforced by wire netting, sometimes 1t is dry land and lasts for months. Otherwise 1t is scrapped remorselessly-as ey- erything else is in this war.

The playhouse has proved its usefulness and possibilities in the unfolding of child life and the cultivation in children of the love of the home. The advantages of the playhouse are discussed by Katherine G. Lewis in the Mothcgs Magazine and number or practical plans are pre- scented.
 The children's playhouse of today spells to the practical mother not only the pleasure, happiness and real culti- vation of her children says Miss Lewis, but added peace and comfort and men ta. relaxation for herself She knows that this cheerful, we'll ventilated littls nest provides for the youngsters at play an emineDt.y safe and pleasant refuge in indictment weather. Besides, it affords them so much amusement that it keeps them at home when nothing else will
 Though the fundamental idea of pleas ing the children always has and alwaye will exist, the object of the thoughtful parent today in providing real playhouses for the children Is to develop them along useful lines. The love of home and the lesson of responsibility in it cannot be learned any too young and the building of certain definite inclinations, developed by the playhouse already has saved par ents much anxiety concerning their chill drens careers. It has been found that the playhouse helps the child to find himself, aided, of course. by correct fur nishing and by toys that teach.
 "Of course, the things that appeal to children are the dignity of grown-up re- sponsibility and the pride of possession The idea of their own little home, to do with as they wish--to plan for, to deco rate. to furnish-naturalry brings with 1t certain amount of seriousness It is surprising what interest. common sense and taste they display"

While the entente allies have been obliged to pay the high ocean freights on coal and iron ore Germany found in the invaded region of France all the iron ore she needed and in Bel gium and Poland immense quantities of coal that she had only to take, paying the labor at very low rates, bringing down the raw materials that enter into her munitions to very low figure.
 M. Cheradame estimates that, when Germany expends 00,000,000 francs for war material, France must spend 50,000,0 900, which would make the war cost between the two countries in the proportion of two for Germany to three for France.
 M. Cheradame surmises that the peace formula now going the round of socialist organizations of peace with out annexations and without indemni- ties" means that Germany, feeling she is beaten, would be glad to call the game a draw and escape with her own low cost of prosecuting the war.

About Fireless Cookers The Woman's Home Companion


 The freless cooker has come to stay Its usefulness Is no longer q question. but a fact. It Is one of the modern conveniences and, unlike many of them, it does not keep running up bills after it Is installed. Buy it, and the cost Is ended. It does not get out of repair unless greatly abused. It does save fuel bills and labor. It cocks many things better than they can be cooked in any other way.
 There are many kinds of hreless cookers on the market. In choosing among them one may select the kind best adapted for the particular condi- tions 1t is to meet and the space in the kitchen which 1t Is to occupy. Of course, a factory-made cooker is best but anyone who cannot afford to buy one will find 1t worth while to use a home made one. A person with only a little mechanical skill. by following the directions which can be procured from the department of agriculture at Washington, D. C., can make cooker that will fulfill most of the needs"
