whose care the golden eagle has
been for some months at the Mil
waukee Zoo, was the official guard
ian of the bird on the trip, and in
troduced him to the men who are
to be his companions for the dura-
ton of the war. Mr.. Bean says the
fine specimen of golden eagle, for
several years the mascot of the state
society of Eagles, is in the best of
condition and temper, owing to his
quiet and comfortable life in the
spacious cage at the 700. Although
little wild owing to association
with some less serious minded mem
bers of the eagle family, Mr.. Bean
thinks he will easily become ac-
quainted with a new keeper and
prove as attractable as was Old Abe.
The principal speech OF the cere-
mony before the troops at parade
was delivered by w. J. Kershaw
Milwaukee attorney. The bird will
be accepted on behalf of the regi-
ment by Col. Smith.

No Drafted Men in the Navy.

The American Navy-now 223,-
900 strong-is made up entirely of
volunteers. There is not a drafted
man in it, Every bluejacket went
in because he preferred the Navy
to any other branch of the military
service.
Many persons have mistaken
ideas about service in the Navy,
particularly since the selective ser
vice law went into effect.
Some people think that after a
man is drafted he may be sent to
either the army or the Navy. This
is a mistake. A drafted man goes
into the army only; never into the
Navy.
The only way to get into the
Navy is to volunteer.
A man who registered and who
has a number still has a chance to
enlist in the Navy. But he must
enlist in the Navy before he is call
ed for service in the new national
army. Up to the time a man is call
ed for examination he can enlist
with whatever service he desires,
but after that time he can do moth
ing but serve i'll the army.
A man who has been exempted
from service in the new national
army cannot then enlist i'll the
Navy. An exempted man is out of
all branches of the military service
until his exemption is revoked.
When a man of draft age comes
to the Navy Recruiting station in
Milwaukee to enlist he must show
his rogistration card. The station
then teiegraphs the mans local
board to find out if he has been
called. If he has not the mau is
accepted; if he has the Navy is
compelled to turn him down.
Young men between the ages of
IS and IS who would like to Join
the Navy or who would like to
know about the conditions of Ell,
listment, instruction, pay and ad-
vancement should write to the
Navy Recruiting station, 222 Grand
avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. The post
master also will answer questions
about enlisting in the Navy.

On December 10 all bakeries in
the United States will be licensed
and will have to adhere to the reg
ulations imposed by Food Commits
sioner Hoover. The proclamation
of the president deals with the in
gradients and the weight of the
loaves. The effect as forecast by
the food administration, will be to
standardize bread, eliminate waste
in distribution to consumers and to
gradually force prices for pound
loaves downward, perhaps to 7 or
cents a loaf.
While prices are not to be fixed,

Suggestion for Conserving Coal.

j. A. Slender, fuel administrator
for Iron county, received the fol
lowing suggestion for conservation
of coal in a communication from
w. N Fitzgerald, state fuel adj
ministrator.
l have a suggestion to make
with reference to the conserva-
ton of coal. - 1t is probably the
one hundredth time that some one
has suggested it, but | will send it
in anyway. We have always heat
ed Our Office ourselves, and there
has been a great waste of coal here
every year on account of The per
son doing the jauitor work not
having to pay for the coal. | be
lieve one Of the greatest moves to-
wards the conservation of coal, for
heating purposes, is to start a cam
paign for the purpose of having
each owner of a building heated
with coal, OF the manager III charge,
give some personal attention him
self or by some trusted employee
to the heating to see that the fuel
is not wasted. One.fourth TO one
third of the coal, I believe, can be
saved in this way, believe thefe
is a tremendous waste of coal be
cause of careless and Indifferent
janitors handling the furnaces.

MUST HAVE MORE
RED CROSS MEMBERS
Heavy Demand for Knitted Articles
and HOspi,afSuppIies Makes Larg-
er Working Force Imperative.

The Red Cross has been called
on to help the army and navy to
such a tremendous extent that it
must have, at once, 5000, 900
members.
This is not campaign for money,
but for members to back up our
fighting men.
Nobody is permitted to tell how
many of our boys are in France
now, but we all know that millions
of them are going, and will stay
until the German peril is buried.
And only the Red Cross may care
for them in health, in sickness,
when wounded or prisoners.
Their need for our help is great
beyond all measuring. Unless they
are to suffer and die needlessly,
trainload after trainload of hospi-
tai supplies alone must be piled up
for them before ever they go into
battle. Here is part Of a cablegram
to the Red Cross from Major Gray,
son NJ. P. Murphy, an army officer
appointed Red Cross commissioner
to Europe.
The Red Cross has direct re
sponsibilty of supplying us with
surgical dressings, and nothing in
the whole situation here is equally
important. Red Cross standard
dressings in millions must be sent
over with all possible speed If this
is not done, and done Immediately,
a serious calamity and national dis
grace is inevitable"
There has been an overwhelming
appeal for sweaters, socks, and
other knitted articles to keep the
boys warm. Here is part of Major
Murphy's appeal to the Red Cross
to send them, and send them quick
/ ly:
Eve inexpressibly dread the
coming winter finding us without
supplies to meet the situation. We
urge you, on behalf of our soldiers
and those OF our allies, who will
suffer in their frozen trenches, and
also thousands of French and Bel
gian refugees, to begin shipping at
once I 800, 900 each 10000, 900 in
alb of the warm, WOODEN, knitted
articles named. They must come
before cold weather"
That appeal was spread among
the people by almost every news
paper in the land last August. The
Red Cross has worked breathlessly
to fill these orders. 1t has turned
out an incredible amount of work
But il could not do all that was
asked because it has rot enough
members. Although there are now
/ 5,ooo, 900 members, they cannot dc
so much as quickly as it needs tc
be done, Here is part of message
from Harvey d. Gibson, General
Manager of the Red Cross, dated
Nov. IS, urging the chapters tc
make more speed:
1--WE have forwarded promptly
al. knitted articles received from
chapters, and have in addition beer
compelled to buy in the market
+ $50, 900 sweaters. The requests OF
our organization in France for
sweaters and knitted goods have
had to remain unsatished on account
of our inability to secure enough
for men in our army and navy"
That is why the Red Cross must
have $1,000. 600 members--to take
care. of our fighting boys. Ours Is
not an army of hirelings, it is our
own brothers and sons and neigh
bors and friends, fighting our fight

Fun With a Vacuum.

Fort this stunt You will need a burnt
out incandescent light bulb. The spur
OF glass on the big end is hollow While
you hold that part under the hottest
water in which YOU can keep your
hands, carefully file off the point OF
the bulb When the water reaches the
hollow part, it will enter the bulb and
Immediately begin to boil This is be
cause the extremely rareiiedy Amos-
pherc inside lowers the boiling point
to the temperature of the water. As
soon as the space is filled with steam,
the boiling ceases
Still keeping the opening under
water, or closing it securely with one
moiStened finger. hold the bulb under
a stream OF cold water. The water
will begin to boil again Immediately,
because the cold water condenses the
steam, and so leaves a partial vacuum.
II YOU close the opening securely
with sealing wax when the bulb is
about onc-fiith iull OF water, you will
have a novel toy, As soon as the bulb
has cooled you will have an apparatus
similar to what is called in physics a
water hammer. When the bulb is in
verted the water will be sent to the
other end with a sharp click.
