ATLANTIC COAST SINKING Douglas W. Johnson in the Scientific
 American Supplement)

More than half a century ago Prof. George H Cook, then state Seologist of New Jersey, presented striking and apparently convincing evidence that the Atlantic coast of North America was gradually subsiding at the rate of two feet per century. Farm lands under cultivation fifty years before were, at the time of his investigation. covered with salt marsh grasses; old corduroy roads were encountered sev eral feet below the surfaces of salt marshes at many points along the shore and, within the memory of men then living the ocean waters had risen so high upon the wheels of tidal mills that their operation had become difficult or impossible.
 The scientific manner in which Pro- lessor Cook presented his arguments gained for him not only the respect of geologists in all parts of the world but a very general acceptance of his interesting conclusions.

GOODYEAR MAN GIVES REASON
 FOR TIRE KIT

"A tire saver kit has come to be recognized by most motorists as a necessary part of a ears equipment" asserts D. w. Sanford, local agent of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com- pany. Motorists realize more and more that thousands of miles of tire life can be added and much money saved through preventing tire trou- bles by a few simple prompt precau- tions. Tire saver kits supply those precautions.
 Tt is one thing to have a tire saver kit and yet another to know how to use it's contents properly. Motorists know, for instance. that the insertion of a little tire putty in small tread cuts closes such cuts up and prevents sand and water from getting to the tire fabric, where they ruin any tire in q comparatively short time
 Even so simple thing as the ap- plication of tire putty to a tread or side wall cut must be done right, if the operation is to be successful. We often encounter cases where a motor ist has found a small cut on the out side of his tire. has simply stopped long enough to put in some tire putty and has then gone his way. Later he has complained that the putty didn't stay That was perfectly natural There is a right and a wrong way to when his car will not be used for sev
 "The motorist should select a time fill tread cuts. The right way is this: eral hours, say in the evening when the car is to be laid up for the night Then the cut should be washed with gasoline so that no dirt remains. Next the cut should have a coat of the ce- ment that is included in the tire saver kit When the cement dries second coating of cement should be applied and permitted to dry. Next, see that the hands are clean and dry free from precipitation. Take little tire putty roll it between the fingers and then force it evenly and firmly into the cut Let it set until morning.
 At Minneapolis, as Ira Vail was starting on the 91st mile of the 10t mile event, speeding along side of Eddie Hearne, Hearne's car shot a small stone, which struck Vail just above the left eye, causing him tC swerve momentarily, but he refused to stop. and with blood pouring from the swelling wound, continued the terrific grind winning the race. Singularly enough it was the first time Vail had captured first place in a big race, al though he had finished well up with the leaders for several seasons.

If there is one more word baff ing than another in the war lingo that Americans have now a quickened inter est in mastering that word is "camou flage" Probably the answers to the question, What does camouflage mean?" would be as varied as the an- swers But the word-pronounced 'kom- oo- iah-zhe"-conveys volumes to the military man.
 Camouflage means primarily making pointed a civilian relief committee to undertake the organization of the work which will involve helping in every necessary manner the families of de- pendents, vocational and child welfare research and work, general community development and special attention to food and conservation and control. This committee is composed of the vice president, J. R. Rountree, and Prof L. w. Fike and Mrs. Fike, who will have charge of the direction of the movement.
 Steps have been taken to complete the organization and begin at once to prepare and fit trained workers for real and intelligent social service. This branch of the Red Cross is of the ut most importance and cannot be done in anything but a most careful and painstaking manner For this reason the committee in charge is giving it the most assiduous and persistent thought and consideration. It will involve a great deal of work and will require many workers. These matters will be called to the attention of the public in detail, whenever the plans are def 1 initely determined.

least known use of camouflage is to hide troops advancing in an attack in daylight This is done by expe ling great clouds of smoke or vapor from the trenches before the infantry go over the top. Generally the men wait until the cloud has settled over the enemy's trenches, confusing them and preventing their firing accurately at the attackers. Sometimes the attack ing troops leave the trenches with the cloud and advance in it's protection.

STAND By THE FLAG.

This is not a time for excitement or hysteria
1t is not a time for regrets or lamentations. 1t is
not a time for evasion or hesitation. The time
for all of these has passed, AND THE HOUR FOR
ACTION HAS ARRIVED. The president of the
United States, long suffering and patient, and in
full possession Of facts rot accessible to us, has
deemed it necessary to break diplomatic relations
with a great and powerful foreign country-Ger-
many, to be explicit. The congress has approved
his action irrespective Of party affiliations, and it
is incumbent upon us, the American people, to un-
falteringly support both the president and the
congress.
Party lines have been swept away, and in the
of danger we are one people united in the
defense of our country and its rights and it's citi-
zenship.
Nationality has been forgotten. We are not
Germans, or Brittons, o. Frenchmen, or Aus
TRANS, or Italians, or PEG lo of any other land but
this.
WE ARE AMERICANS-of one heart, one
soul, and one purpose.
We seek no conquest, no illicit gains at the
of another nation. We seek only that
of right and justice that is due us as a
people and as intelligent human beings.
But if in the pursuit Of these rights it becomes
for the President to resort to stern
measures, then let us rally to him and to the flag
in such numbers and in such strength that our
future peace and security will be assured for all
time to come.
We have no i'll will toward the German nation,
but our country comes first in all things, and must
De defended at all hazards and at whatever sacri-
ice may be required.
