Longitudinal section through fireless cook
 CT. showing details of the construction:
 A. Outside eontainer (wooden box. old
 trunk, etc). B, Packing or insulating
 material (crumpled paper, cinders. etc0.
 c, Metal lining in nest D. Cooking ket-
 tie. l., Soapstone plate, or other source
 of heat r, Pad of excelsior for covering
 top. c. Hinged cover of outside con-
 taner
 the inexpensive materials that can be obtained easily, crumpled paper is probably the most satisfactory, since it is clean and odorless and, if proper ly packed, will hold the heat better than some of the others. To pack the cGatainer with paper, crush single sheets of newspaper between the hands. Pack a layer at least four inches deep over the bottom of the outside container, tramping 1t in or pounding it in with a heavy stick of wood. Stand the container for the cooking vessel, or the lining for the nest, in the center of this layer and pack more crushed papers about 1t as solidly as possible. If other packing, such as excelsior, hay, or cork dust, is used, it should be packed in a simi- lar way. Where an extra source of heat is to be used It is much safer to pack the freless cooker with some noninfammable material, such as as bestos or mineral wool cheap and easily obtained substitute is the small cinders sifted from coal ashes. preferably those from soft coal, which may be obtained at the boiler house of any mill. The einders from hard coal burned in the Kitchen range will do, however. Experiments with this material made by home-ee0nomics spe- cialists of the department showed that it is very nearly as satisfactory as crumpled paper as packing material. If q tireproof packing material Is not used a heavy pad of asbestos paper should be put at the bottom of the metal nest and sheet or two of asbestos paper should be placed be- tween the lining of the nest and the packing material. Whatever packing material is used, it should come to the top of the container for the kettle. and llit DoA lSl1h HUT iHCIltS of being full. A cushion or pad must be provided to fill completely the space between the top of the packing and the cover of the box after the hot ket- ties are put in place. This should be made of some heavy goods, such as denim. and stuffed with cotton crum- pied paper, or excelsior. Hay may be used but will be found more or less odorous.

lessons learned from the war in
Europe.
The war department holds that
every weakness of the volunteer
system would be perpetuated under
the house committees scheme. A
feature of the amendments providing
for the selection of officers from
local units is regarded by officers
as particularly obnoxious to sound
military principles. They say the
task of providing competent officers
under this restriction would be rem
dered ten times more difficult and
the efficiency of the army to be
built greatly reduced from the very
start The president thinks that
full opportunity for volunteers is Of
fered under the staff bills, since
there will be room for 574, 900 vol
untary enlistments in the regular
army and national guard for the du-
ration of the war. In addition, the
door is thrown wide open to men
who are qualified to become Off
