STOLEN TREASURES OF ART
Germany VIII Hold Rare Collections
Taken From France and Belgium
Unless Peace Terms Interfere.

WIN one of the peace conditions in
volve return to Belgian and French
art treasures removed by the Ger
mans since 1914 from the occupied
territoriesf asks the New York Eve
ming Post.
Until the present wars outbreak.
everyone has supposed the custom Of
nations changed since Napoleon's
time, so that 1t would no longer be
possible for conqueror to fill his mu-
seums with plumber. That supposi-
ton. like SO many others, seems to
have been given the lie by the kaiser,
whose agents are said to have emp
tied the Antwerp and Brussels mu-
seuIns for the benefit Of Berlin. Even
the emperor's grandfather. In the war
Of 1870, took practically no toll OF
Paris art treasures.
Malice has ascribed this moderation
20 the lack, In that Spartan genera
ton, Of appreciation for art, which led
those earlier invaders to confine their
activities, for the most part, to or
m0lu clocks and silver services. The
modern Prussian. however, from the
crown prince down. has become a
dilettante, an art connoisseur. Hence
the very thought Of cleanup made Of
art objects. Berlin. willy nilly, is to
be made world art center. II tour
lists prefer Paris because Of its great
err natural charm. they will. in any
event, be forced to visit the Prussian
capital In order to see Rubens "De-
scent From the Cross"
A monopoly Of the worlds potash
supply, and a collection of stolen art,
is to keep the world at Germany's
mercy-unless the terms Of peace pro-
vide otherwise.

Nervous troubles. with backache,

weakness and to try the remedy that

Had Hidden Wealth.

For twelve years Michael Kenney,
once Brooklyn water inspector, lived
in small furnished room at 2789 Nor.
ris avenue, the Bronx. He seldom
spoke to anyone, and when he was &C
cidentally asphyxiated by gas the po-
lice had no way Of ascertaining
whether he had any relatives.
1t was known he owned the two
family house In which he occupied q
room, and he was given decent bur-
ial,
Public Administrator Hammer went
to the Morris avenue house recently
and searched the room in hope of
finding information which might lead
to relatives. In bureau drawers he
found bank books representing depos-
its of $4,000. Under an icebox there
was $2,041 In bills, and hidden In the
hair Of an old settee was 800 In gold.

coons and Turkeys.

They are hunting coons in Massa-
chusetts and eating them. They are
said to be fine substitute for turkey
more than substitute, better. That
is all right-they can eat them. Our
Pilgrim Fathers can eat all the coon
they want. We will take second help
ing to turkey, declares a writer in the
Columbus State Journal. We try to
imagine the eating Of coon. We can't
do 1t any more than we can think of
eating cat. But hunting coons Is diff
ferent. Here is the process: Take
an automobile. Put In guns, dogs, and
a companion or two, and then, when
far into the country and near for
est, unloose the dogs and send them
into the woods. Soon they start to
barking vigorously and there is a
coon. The papers tell of one party of
four starting out after dark, returning
at midnight with nine coons. That
couldn't be done In Ohio, which is not
a primitive state, like Massachusetts.
Our coon crop is gone. We are sorry.
The coon Is a fine animal for coon,
but not for meat. John Alden and his
merry men are welcome to it.

FURNISH CHICKENS PURE AIR
Windows Of Hen Houses Should BE
Kept Open During Middle Of Day
During Severe Weather.

Open the hen house windows In all
except the severest weather, during the
middle of the day, so that the sun and
air can get in and purify the house
and give the fowls plenty Of good air
to breathe. If they can be made to
exercise vigorously while the windows
are open, they will not suffer any harm
from the cold. even If it is severe, and
wiz be healthy.

Gear Wheels Made Of Cotton.

Gears are now being made of or
binary cotton which outwear those
made from the finest steel. 1t seems
incredible, but 1t is true, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The very hardness Of the metal
gears causes the teeth surfaces to
scrape over each other when they
mesh, producing hideous screeches and
groans. Everyone of these scrapings
means a certain amount of wear.
Teeth made out Of compressed cot
ton yield. They are, therefore, noise
less. Compressed with the metal gears,
they are indestructible. To make
these fiber gears large cylinder built
up of cotton disks is compressed to but
one-slxteenth Of its former lengthl

Sir Bradford blanched. Like light

for Constantinople The only way to

to do the work, and London was 200
miles away. He put his hand to his

locked himself In.
Twenty-four hours later the minister
of foreign affairs in Paris received the
card of Nine. Chapellier. He direct

"Well?" he said.

She handed him an item cut from

to open his safe; that they had failed
and others more skillful had gone up
He had offered the latter $1,000 If they

He drew her check for $1,000

BuIIet-Proof Tires.

Experiments made at the North

apparently show that our best pneu-
matte automobile tires are fairly i'm

'"The United States government has
not made heavy purchases to date and
the latest information from the quar-
termaster generals Office states that
only horses from six to ten years old
weighing from $50 to 1850 pounds are
being purchased.
'The British demand a neater,
smoother, better-made, better-gaited,
and sounder horse than the French and
have been willing to pay more for their
horses. Most of the horses taken have
weighed less than 1.400 pounds-a type
for which there is very little CONNER
cial demand. Marketmen express the
opinion that this class Of horses would
be selling for $50. per head less were It
not for the war demand"

"These fellows are great friends

they're like Murphy.
"'Cheer up, manr said Murphy to

IMPORTANT EFFECT OF WAR
Demand for Horses Has Not Been So
Far-ReaehIng as Great Many Be-
lIeved, Says Expert.

That the effect of the war on the
demand for horses has been important
but not so lar-rearhing as many per-
sons have been lei to believe, is the
opinion of DR.. @. w. McCampbell, as
sociate professor Of animal husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
"Since the beginning Of the war ap-
proximately 100000 horses have been
exported from the United States" said
Doctor McCampbeIl. "This is a large

Loss Of Young Animals Can Be Re-

A good Job for the first rainy day.
From 8 to 10 per cent Of the young
animals are lost each year from such
infectious diseases as calf scours, hog
cholera, blackleg, contagious abortion,
navel Ill Of stockings, distemper and
other infectious diseases.
Reduce this loss of young animals
from infectious diseases by cleaning
the stable thoroughly and disinfecting

added 2 per cent crude carbolic acid
or 5 per cent coal-tar dip. This is
easily applied to the walls. ceiling and
