jaw Houchins' Luck.

It was a lucky thing for Jay HOuch-
ms of Ashburn when some turnip seed
got mixed with clover seed last fall.
He sowed the combination over his
wheat in February and reaped the re-
ward last week when the wheat was
cut. Here and there across the fields
could be seen the turnip tops, and the
result was that wheat shOckers ate
turnips as they worked, and Mr..
Houchins did not have to feed them
any regular meals.-Kansas City

A NEEDED INSTITUTION
To Teach Housewives to Buy and
Prepare Food to the Best
Advantage
ASSOCIATED Press)

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 14.-Estab-
Iishment of a national food laboratory
tc teach the housekeepers of the
United States how best to buy and to
prepare food was advocated by Char
lotte Perkins Gilman, of New York, IN
an address she delivered here today
before the National Conference on
the Worlds Food called by the Amer
lean Academy of Political and Social
Science.
"As we have experiment stations to
establish standards and gather infor-
nation for our farmers" said Mrs.
Gilman, $50 we should now establish
at least one national food laboratory,
an experiment station for the benefit
of the housekeepers. Such a labora-
tory should be in charge of men and
women of the highest ability. From
an authoritative center like this
should be distributed accurate infor-
nation as to food values and prices
with bulletins for special localities
and seasons.
"With an experienced buyer, with
the most expert handling of all the
valuable by-product Of this great In
dustry, now so wastefully mishandled
as garbage, WITH SIOIdSS anu iS-
frigeration facilities, with such ar
rangements with dairymen and locaI
| market gardeners as would be easy
with large and steady orders, with 9
persevering department to take ad.
vantage of surplus materials, anc
with all accounts carefully kept anC
freely published, we should at las
be in a position to know what really
| is the cost of living
"With what conscience can we per
sist in a method of industry which
in kitchen service alone, wastes th'
labor of nine women out of ten? If al
| house service was professionalism
| done by trained specialists witt
| proper organization and mechanica
conveniences, we could release tn
labor power of 80 per cent of on
women.
Counting that labor at charwom
ans wages, say $500 year, allowing
II fifteen out of our twenty millio
women as working housewives, tn
released labor at four-ffths of tn
fifteen, namely twelve million, woul
be worth $4,000, 100000 a year.

least equal their wages, anothe

vided into four or five sections. Each
airplane is armed with two machine
guns and each carries bombs weigh
ing from 20 to 100 pounds apiece.
Some are said to carry bombs that
weigh more than 200 pounds.
While perfecting their service in
the air, the Germans have also rap
idly bettered their anti-aircraft meas
ures and weapons. The 77-milimeter
guns have given way to rapid-firing
guns of los milimeter calibre, and at
certain points along the front they
use shrapnel guns of 240-miilmeter
size.
They possess special bullets for the
destruction of captive balloons, but In
many instances have used them with
great cruelty against opponents in
airplanes. At least one squadrllla
captain, Lieut.. Eilers, finally for
bade his men to carry these bullets
with them unless they were definitely
charged with raiding balloons.
The Germans, it is said, are con-
stantly putting new types of machines
| into the field. The famous Taube
went out of style long ago, and it has
now been followed by the even more
famous Fokker, which less than q
year ago was considered the last and
final word in attacking airplanes. Its
inventor, Dutchman, is now said te
be devoting himself to the perfection
of a machine with a 260-Hp. motor
which will break all records for speed
and efficiency.
Today the Rumpler seems to be tht
favorite machine, though those will
160-Hp. motors are not fast enough
to suit, and yet the machines vii
hardly stand up under heavie1

$4,000, 100000 year. If the aver
age American family now spends
$500 year on food, and if the saw
ing was but two-fifths, or $500, there
would be another $4,000,000,000 This
gives pleasing total of $4,000, ,000,-
900 which in an extreme hypothetical
case we might save each year.
"No such sudden and universal
change of system is to be expected. 1t
would not be desirable instantly to
eliminate a whole complex business,
as the retail food trade. These large
estimates are given to show the i'm
portance of the food problem, and the
enormity of the waste involved in our
primitive method of treatment.
''The most important thing is the
establishment of authoritative food
laboratories to save the mistakes and
Encouragement of the scattered ef-
forts, and the next is for our house
keepers to recognize the imperative
duty of the change of method in this
| industry"

compIished with Gotha machines, but
these, though so recent that little is
known about them in France, are al
ready giving way to faster airplanes,
especially to powerful Rumpler bi-
planes which have tremendous speed
and rising power. These machines, of
which there are not fewer than 30 in
the third battle fiotilla, can make
great distances both because of their
powerful motors and because Of their
huge gasoline tanks, two of which
with a capacity apiece of $50 liters
are carried on each machine.

BOARD OF TRADE

On account of the secretary, whose
time being taken up with matters per-
tanning to the selective draft board,
of which he is clerk, it has been
thought best to dispense with meet
ings of the board of trade during
this month. The meetings in Octo-
Der will be held at the usual time.
The board of governors agreed that
our principal business just now is to
cooperate with the government in
carrying out the provisions of the
selective draft law and authorized the
secretary of the board to give his
time to such work.
At the October meeting we expect
to lay plans for aggressive work dur
ing the fall and winter.
w. T. Gary, President.

COMPOSURE

Although the revolt cannot be con-

Korniloff surrenders, the capital and
country show signs of recovering
their composure and attempting a
new process of reconstruction. Gen.
Korniloff's venture was weakened by
constant desertions. The fundamental
difficulties inspiring the revolt remain
but the hope is expressed that they
will be eliminated by the reconstruc-
ton of new cabinet. Constitutional
democrats and socialists are in con-
fict over forming the cabinet. The
former gave warning that the causes
of the revolt must be removed OF
