Wireless improved.

According to an English electrical
publication, valuable Improvement
has been made in the shape of the adj
dition of metal springs to the aerials
on shipboard for the purpose of acting
as shock absorbers, thus overcoming
to a great degree the tendency of this
delicate instrument to be put out of
service when the vessel experiences a
severe shock either from torpedo or
accident. Heretofore it has been neces-
sary to take the aerials down when
the vessel is loading because of the
movement and vibration in the mastS
caused by the use of the derricks.

The need of platinum in war indus
tries and in the sciences is explained
by DIR. Charles L. Parsons, chief chem
ist. bureau Of mines, department of the
interior, in an argument for discontinue
ance of the use of platinum in jewelry.
1.-The war cannot be won without
platinum" says Doctor Parsons, land
it is equally essential in times of peace
If our country is to excel Germany In
the development of chemical science
and industry. With the aid of plati-
mum from one ordinary wedding ring
about 100 pounds of nitric acid can be
made every "a hours. This 100 pounds
of nitric acid converted into high ex-
plosives will send a number Of three
inch shells against the Germans and
help to bring the boys back home.
platinum rings, pins, cigarette
cases, and mesh bags are not factors
in winning this war-explosives are.
wonder If the purchasers and wearers
of platinum jewelry know that explo-
sives cannot be manufactured without
the use of sulphuric and nitric acids;
that the manufacture of these acids re-
quires the use of supplies of platinum;
that airplanes must have platinum for
important instruments they need; that
platinum is absolutely necessary in the
manufacture of special promoters;
that promoters are necessary in all
steel treatments; and that no guns can
be made without the use of promoters.
There is shortage in the supply Of
platinum. Russia has a corner on the
worlds supply, and Germany is in Rus
STA. Our domestic production of plati-
mum is negligible, while our military
requirements are increasing at rapid
rate"

Felix Frankfurter, chairman Of the

further explanation of the resolution
Of the board setting forth it's princi-
plies: "Inasmuch as wage stability was
recognized as the essential need by
labor and by the government the pur-
pose of the resolution was to prevent
changes In the standards which had
been created either through an adjust
ment board such as the labor wage ad-
justment board of the emergency fleet
corporation, or the arsenal and navy
yard standards, or the standards which
govern the cantonment adjustment
board, but under no circumstances was
it intended to prevent the lifting of
wage scales in specific instances up to
the standards"

The war department has opened a
great storage lumber depot at Gilmer-
ton, Va, to meet emergency demands
of the army for lumber Through its
operation 1t is estimated that yearly
saving of approximately $250,000 will
be effected.
Whenever army constructors in the
past were required to buy additional
lumber the purchases were made at
yards in the immediate vicinity. The
average increase in price for this ma
terial over the lumber originally pur-
chased for the job would run from SO
to $12 per 1000 feet. BY purchasing
in large quantities and charging only
for yard maintenance the greater part
of this excess price is expected to be
saved to the government.
A stock of from twelve to fifteen
million feet of lumber will be carried
and it is estimated that the yearly
turnover will amount to between fifty
and sixty million feet. A fund of
100000 has been set aside by the war
department for use by the construc-
ton division of the army as necessary
working capital for the yard.

There were no aerial bombing or
CARNATIONS in the allied flying corps
during the first year of the war. Prac-
tically all the work in the air was in
the nature of observation. No pilots
could be spared for anything else. To-
day probably % per cent Of the "erial
arms are bombing squadrons of II
machines per squadron.
The first bombing was done by vol
unteer pilots who flew over the Ger
man lines and dropped three or four
bombs, made from artillery shells, on
Showers Of small steel arrows were
spilled sometimes on conveys, troop
trains and bodies of massed men. The
Germans began day bombing of cities
in 1915, and the allies bombarded
Karlsruhe in reprisal later in the same
year. Since then evolution in organ
lied bombing developed rapidly and
the French began night bombing, but
this was not undertaken by the Ger
mans until August, 1916.
At the present time large groups,
including several squadrons of bomb
ing machines, go over the lines from
time to time and completely destroy
their objective, be it a city or camp,
a column of troops or a trench system.
Unfortunately the allies air forces
hostile territory defended by anti
aircraft guns to attack Germa ncities,
while the enemy can attack French
cities by flying only a short distance
beyond the allied lines.
The allies are developing large
bombing planes which carry sufficient
fuel for long excursions and armament
to protect them when they are at
tackled by fighting airplanes. Bombing
squadrons are escorted usually over
the lines by fast fighting squadrons
of 10 planes to q squadron, and then
left to their own DEVICES, for the fight
ers seldom carry sufficient fuel to per-
NIT them to accompany the bombers
on the round trip.
The dropping Of the bomb Is SINH
lar to shooting a rifle. First you set
your sights and wind gauge, you hold
the rifle properly, and finally you pull
the trigger at the proper moment. If
your ammunition Is standard your
sights correct, you hit the target. So
with bombing. If you set your sights
correctly, fly your plane correctly over
the objective and drop the bomb at the
proper time you will hit the target If
the ammunition manufacturers gave
you good bombs the objective will be
destroyed.
The United States will be short of
potash next year. Estimates for 1918
show an available supply of about
100000 tons of potash salts, or only
about half Of the normal imports be-
fore the war. Commercial fertilizer
concerns must bear the brunt of the
shortage.
The army needs straw, says the bu-
reau of markets, department of agri-
culture. Farmers are urged to bale

The supply of kerosene will run
short next winter and the government
is urging every user to do his part
toward making every gallon to do full
war duty by giving forth its full
measure of light and heat. Saving can
be accomplished, it is said, only If
care is given lamps, lanterns, heaters
and stoves.
The director of Oil conservation of
the United States fuel administration
issues these rules for fuel-oil saving
Keep all lamps and lanterns clean.
Let the light out; don't conf1ne 1t be-
hind smoked and dirty chimneys.
See that burners and wicks of all
oil-burning devices are clean. Clean
burners require less oil and give bet
ter lights.
Don't allow a lamp, lantern, heater
or stove to burn q minute longer than
is necessary. Don't light one you can
do without.
Don't use coal oil for cleaning pur-
poses. Hot water will do the work.

Many housewives have learned from
sad experiences in loss of perishable
foods that next to the ice is not the
coolest place in the home refrigerator.
To the housewife who has not had this
experience the food administration
gives this advice:
Many put their butter and milk
right next to the ice because they
think this is the coolest place, but, as
a matter Of fact, the coolest place Is
at the bottom of the refrigerator. Hot
air rises and air that is not being con-
stantly purified by circulation around
the blocks of ice soon Is unfit to
come into contact with the food.
When the warm air in the refrigera-
and moisture which are absorbed from
the surface of the food and which If
allowed to remain in the air spoil
the food. The air which is warmed by
passing over the food comes in con-
tact with the ice, where the moisture
is condensed upon the surface and the
impurities are carried off by the melt
ing ice. The air is thus dried, cooled
and purified. The cooled air immedi-
ately descends to gather up more mois-
ture and impurities and thus the
process is repeated continually.
ut Is advisable to allow heated food
to cool off before placing it in the re-
frigerator. If put in when warm it
raises the temperature of the refriger-
ator higher than it should go and
melts ice unnecessarily. The trapdoor
through which the meltage passes out
at the bottom Of the refrigerator
should be kept in place, because If 1t
is broken or lost a constant stream Of
warm air is allowed to flow into the

roasting ears on her Christmas dinner

She Just dried the corn on the cob
instead of cutting it off. Then on
Christmas day, she got the corn out,

The corn to be dried was selected.
