SHIPS MASCoTS LOSE NERVE
Pet Animals on British Vessels Show
the White Feather When Shells
Begin Exploding.

There are some Incidents about the
mascots In the big naval battle of Jut-
land which are worth repeating. The
mascot on the Tiger was a bulldog, a
fine fellow. When getting into the bat
tie the crew were n bit concerned as
to how their favorlte would take the
crashing Of high explosives on the
ship, so they plugged his ears with cot
ton wool, wrapped his head around as
II he had a heavy dose of toothache,
and n couple Of men took the bulldog,
much to his annoyance, to a room that
was thought to be as quiet as the ship
could provide. The dog didn't quite
fancy being treated as an invalid and
resented the coddllng, but when the
shots began he took II pretty badly
and was mighty glad he had pal sit
ting on either side holding him by the
paws.
Another boat had n fine, big black
cat. He was overlooked when they got
Into action, and the first shell that
came aboard this fellow got loose and
took a flying dive overheard. As the
boat was going about 27 knots, even
the most tender-hearted Jack Tar
could hardly risk going after Tommy.
On another ship they had little ban
tam, which strutted about more proud
ly than the dlnBiest midshipman and
with as big a show OF courage as the
hardest of old seadogs. The tars
were proud of the "swnnk" their pet
could assume before strangers. When
the first German shell crashed on
board the bantam lost all his fine show
and flew down one Of the ventilators

graphed after the fight he presented

LET THE CHICKENS FIGHT YOUR
DANDELIoNS
They are Fond of Weed, and, With
Portable Yard, Will Help Keep
Your Lawn Free of Pest.

Most persons who have raised
poultry in confinement are familiar
with the fact that chickens, ducks,
and geese are fond Of dandelion tops
and will eat them in preference to
grass. In one case under the writer's
observation an area Of seven or eight
square rods is used during early
spring as a pasture for thirty or forty
young chickens. The grass is cut
only a few times during the season.
merely enough to keep it from going
to seed. No dandelions are to be found
on this area altho no effort is made
to destroy them. The chickens keep
them and the white clover eaten down
as fast as they appear but do not
seem to molest the grass to any ex-
tent. About the first of June the
chickens are taken off from this yard
and during the remainder of the sea-
son it forms a part Of the lawn with
an exceptionally dense sod Of pure
bluegrass.
This suggests the feasibility of en-
ploying a light portable yard which
could be moved about over the lawn
during April and May. This would
permit utilizing the dandelions so pre-
valent in many door yards as forage
for your chickens, ducklings or gos-
lings and would at the same time
clear the lawn of the unsightly weed.
In order to make this plan success
full there should be only enough chick
ems confined on the area to eat the
dandelions without destroying much
Of the grass. Otherwise it would be
necessary to move the yard quite fire.
quently.
During the remainder Of the season
the lawn should have regular care in
the matter of watering and moving.
In this way side or back yards, which
are often allowed to become badly in
Tested with dandelions, could be made
a source of revenue and be improved
in appearance for the summer months.

Would use Water nor EueI.

Recently an inventor attracted con-
siderable attention by claiming to have
Isolated n certain green chemical the
addition Of which to water would make
the water n substitute for gasoline in
inltial-combustion engines. Now comes
another inventor with process for
utilizing water as an automobile fuel.
He points to the well-known fact that
water Is decomposed into its elements
hydrogen and oxygen, when a current
Of electricity passes through it. Hy-
drogen mixed with air is more explo-
sive than gasoline vapor. In his pat
ented device the inventor would con-
vert part Of the power generated by
the automobile engine into electrical
energy, which he would use to decom-
pose water. The hydrogen Of the de-
composed water he proposes to use to
run the engine, securing enough sur
plus power in the cycle to drive the
car.

will be donated to the Second Regi-

ers will be on the card for addresses,
and an effort is being made to have
Governor Gunter and Adjutant Gen

The flag will be donated by the
citizens of Las Animas county, who
furnished a large quota for the Ma

The main object of the event is the
reception to the soldiers who will soon
depart for the concentration camp in
California.
The field meet will be the first ev-

",The blare of the trombone, the

war the tunes happily accepted were
those Of the vaudeville stage, when

hummingly, by the soldiers of the
North, as those who followed the

to recall that Dixie was the most
popular Of all the melodies strummed
in camp and sung In action of all the
old-time songs during the war Of 1895.
Canned music will give to the boys
at the front much of their entertain
ment evenings to come" added Mr..
Parsons. ''The Photographic records

Will have programs provided by the

it probably will, the consumer will
complain, while if wheat brings no
more than two dollars, the producer
will look back and remember the days
when he or his neighbor got more
than that. Few people are going to
be satisfied with any result which the
food-control bill can producc-except
those favored individuals who get on
the payroll in connection with the ad-
ministration of the law.
A Good Tooter, Anyway

istration to accept a food control bill
that provides for commission to
carry it on, or a refusal by Mr.. Hoover
to serve under a food-control bill that
does not give him unrestricted author
ity, would raise an unmistakable issue
upon which the folks back home could
let congress have public opinion in
large gobs. We do not think that
either the administration or Mr.. Hoov-
er will deal with the subject so crude
ly. The administration may give out
some intimations, Hr. Hoover may
talk to his friends-but there will be
no issue of this kind definitely set up.
The temper of congress and Of the
country is ready for just such an is
sue-an issue which, reduced to. its
lowest terms, means that someone
says, "If you don't play the game as
want it played, there will be no
game" That spirit exists in Wash
ingtpn unmistakably. 1t has been
shown often, and too often it has sue
cceded. The action of the senate, by
decisive votes, in setting up a food
control board instead of q food-con-
troll dictator, and in providing for a
joint committee to scrutinizc war ex-
pcnditurcs, indicates that new view
point is obtruding itself at Washing
ton. The people, who will have to foot
the bills are beginning to realize what
their taxes arc going to be, and they
intend to know something about how
the money is spent, by whom, what
for and where.
The Test Coming
In the course of the senate debate
on the food-control bill the paradox
cal statement was made that with
wheat at 50 bushel, flour would be
cheaper than with wheat at S1.75 the
bushcl. At any rate, the fixed price of
wheat, so far as the food-control
measure can fix it, is at two dollars
and the country awaits a demonstra-
tion. Inasmuch as wheat is the only
commodity mentioned by name in the
bill with any connection rs to its price
it is evident that the success or fail
ure of the bill will be gaugcd by the
price of flour If flour stays up, as
