THIS WAR or SCIENCE.

Of all the many military projects
that our government has undertaken
since the Hateful April day when we
declared war, the most interesting and
and appealing to the popular mind is
the development of the air fleet. This
fleet has three functions: /, scout
work. location of enemy defenses and
direction of artillery fire; 2, fighting
and driving back the enemy planes
that undertake the same purposes
over our lines; 3, bombing attacks
in the rear.
The first two purposes are neces-
sary but auxiliary to other forces.
The third undertaking Is new and
promises to reach heights of effect.
iveness scarcely touched as yet. The
past summer has seen these attacks
on q small scale, but we should be
able to increase their power and
range tremendously.
The trouble with these attacks as
now carried on by the French and
English is the limit of the freight car.
airplane. Three hundred pounds ID
q common limit of weight that can
be carried in the form Of bombs, or
about III pounds per horse power.
Airplanes are now being built up to
600 horse power. A much greater
freight carrying capacity is secured
in these, estimated at 10 pounds per
horse power. Such plane therefore
should be able to carry three tons Of
explosives and to accomplish twenty
times the destruction possible from
one of the ordinary craft now in use.
Such a plane should be able to de-
liver an explosive to any point near
or far from the trench line, with an
accuracy and destructiyeness greater
than that OF any gun yet invented.
When these big fellows begin to get
busy, the Boche will think twice about

REDUCING DISTRIBUTION COSTS

The New York food commission
makes the statement that the whole
saler takes but 10 per cent Of the cost
of food for his expenses and profits.
The middlen1an has long been favor
tie object of execration. 1t will SUI
prise many people to learn that his
costs are not more than 10 per cent.
However, according to the commits
sion, that charge should be reduced.
Much waste motion should be elm
mated. It seems to work about in
this way. Years ago a firm starting
as wholesalers would erect their
warehouse on q city street, without
much reference to economy in receiv-
ing and shipping goods. AS their bus
mess increased and they came to
send goods over wide territory, these
products would have to be hauled
from the railroad station to the ware
house, and then hauled back. They
might be hauled around two or three
times more, as the goods were sold
from one jobber to another.
But In those days wages were low,
horses cheap and people did not not.

houses located on railroad tracks,
where freight could be taken in at
one door, sorted and shipped out
either by the same door by rail or
else given out in another door to
trucks for local distribution.
Trucking facilities in many cities
are said to be so inadequate that the
truckmen have to line up at II o'clock
the night before to get loads to start

ing. Also the cost Of getting produce
from the farms to the railroad stat
tons is said to be much too high. II
costs but little more to get food prod
ucts from Chicago to Liverpool than
from the average farm to the nearest
railroad station.
If farmers had been quicker to take
up the cooperative idea, motor trucks
would have been running all through
the farm districts picking up their
great loads and saving duplicate trips
which some one has to pay for.

THE SALOON HAS NOT WON.

RECOGNIZE THE CADILLAC CAR
Company Gratified at Test by Leslie's
 Weekly of the Motor Dealers

To determine the extent to which motor car dealers could distinguish different makes of cars, test was recently made by Leslie's Weekly in its motor review. The Jackson Park CT agency points out that 93 3-10 per cent of the total number of dealers boiled, named the Cadillac correctly from pictures of it and thirty-nine other cars.
 Results varied as concerned each individual car but the Cadillac Eight was correctly named by 99.3 per cent of all those who replied. "We feel that this unusually high percentage is not only a tribute Of distinction to the car itself, but indicates that the average dealer is familiar with all cars-his competitors line as we'll as his own"

HOME ECONOMIC MEET

The Home Economics held the last meeting scheduled for the club year on Tuesday at the home of Mrs Acker. Mrs. Adams as chairman called the meeting to order, after which the members responded to role call by telling the kind of meat from which they derived the greatest amount of nourishment at slightest cost.
 Mrs. c. c. Harvey was the leader for the afternoon and had for her subject Different Cuts of Meat" Her discussion brought out ways of judg- ing meats when prime; cuts contain ing the maximum of nutriment at the minimum in price; different uses for specified cuts, a general discussion by club members brought out various ways of serving which was most in- structive. Mrs. Honn read several clippings on the planning of meals during the present soaring of food products.
 After discussion Mrs. Acker and Mrs. Harvey as hostesses served an appetizing dish---a meat substitute this, for the purpose of preparing for "meatless days" as suggested by Dr. Wiley. Adjournment at 5 o'clock.
