that was harboring the other two
gentlemen.
Martin was extremely glad TO re-
cover the pocketbook. He even Of

refused this and then Martin said
that he felt he must do something
for them, so he said he'd let them

Mr. Martin had some very fine oil
leases but 20 obtain them perma

SACRIFICES OF ARMY DOCTOR
Home Practice and Other Advantages
Reiinquished to Serve Country
During the War.

One-fifth Of the total number of
physicians In the United States will
have to enroll for military duty IL this
war continues for another year, OBJ
serves Leslie's Weekly. All but a
small percentage Of them must enroll
voluntarily. All but a small percent
age of them have families to support
and these and others are wholly de-
pendent on the income Of the head Of
the house for this support. The ply
sician from IS to As years Of age, the
age Of greatest usefulness for mill
tary service, Is at that critical period
of his professional and financial de-
velopment that two years Of forced abb
sence IL liable to affect disastrOusly
his whole career.
The change means, II there Is no In
dependent income. sacrificing Of in
surance, lapsing Of the mortgage,
Withdrawing Of children from school,
a complete change Of method OF hv-
Ing, and great risk Of returning after
the war with a lucrative practice d.
vided among the stay-at-homes. A
law has recently been introduced In
the senate by Senator Owen which
provides an increased rank for med
ical officers OF the reserve corps, that
will In some way meet the financial
burden of the volunteer doctor and
will furnish him a rank equal to the
dignity of his civil position.

BUILD SHIP IN FIVE MONTHS
Others Of British Standardized Type
to BE Turned Out In About
Sixteen Weeks Time.

The first Of the standardized mer-
chant ships built to order for the Brit.
ish government recently went through
successful trials of u very exhaustive
character, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. The type has been designed to
provide a good cargo-carrier, In the
shortest time. and with the least ex-
penditure of material. The keel Of
this trial ship was laid last February
and In less than six months the ship
was completed. loaded and ready for
trial.
The standardized vessels. which are
Of 5000 tons capacity. are built In two
types-One q single-deck for grain and
the other a two-deck ship for general
cargo. 1t Is also intended to build two
similar types, each Of 5000 and 5000
tons carrying capacity. Not only the
hulls but the engines are standardized.
They have extra large hatchways to
facilitate quick loading and discharg-
ing-a most important feature. The
first vessel was built in five months
time, and 1t Is expected that future
vessels will be turned out In from
four to f0ur-and-one-half months

70 COOPERATE IN RESEARCH
British Plan on Method Of Bringing
About Best Posslble Results fer
Various Industries.

Realizing that many industrial firms
are barred from the benefits Of scien-
tffc research into their particular
lines Of activity by the great cost. re-
ports Consul Franklin d. Hale. Hud-
dersfeld, England. the Committee of
the Privy Council for Scientific and In.
dustrial Research proposes the intro
duction Of the cooperative idea. In
this way firm that Is unable to bear
the entire expense Of research could
contribute to the cost and share In
the benefits accruing to an industry
as whole. 1t is planned to establish.
trade research associations In England
to be formed as needed for each In
dustry or group of Industries, and
aided by certain funds which the COM
mittee has In charge. One association
Is about to be organized for the cot.
ton industry. and others will be form
ed as soon as possible for the wool,
fax, oil. and Photographic Industries.
The work that has already been ac-
complished through the committees
efforts. according to Mr.. Hale. includes
the discovery Of three kinds OF optical
glass, the investigation OF light alloys
for use In aircraft, and the production
Of a new hard porcelain from purely
British raw material. Researches into
the recovery Of tin are expected to
save that industry very large
amount each year.

ADE.IN.GERMANY Lies
CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada Is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an Official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
ministratiOn.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced In this cOun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power OF destruction that lies
In battalion OF soldiers.
"Stories without even q vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dIssipate public
trust, the great essential In the work
Of food control. ...
1T lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate In work which Is going
to mean more than the majority Of
people yet realize"

Taroet Balloons.

In training aerial marksmen to shoot
straight the British government makes
use Of small target balloons which are
manufactured in large quantities, says
the Scientific American. Double tar
get balloons are made in two sections.
so that when one section is punctured
by a successful shot from the gun Of the
aerial apprentice the balloon remains
in the air, permitting second hit and
thus doubling the life Of the target.
An electric air pump is being used to
fill the balloons.

Lafaxetts Flxlna Corps

Considerable confusion exists In the
minds of many persons about the DIFF
ference between the Lafayette Esca'
drille and the Lafayette Flying corps.
This famous aeronautic body was
the Section dAviation Of the Legion
Etrangere in the early days Of the
war. To mark the number of Ameri-
cans who were sharing the dangers and
eictories the name was changed to the
Franco-American Flying corps. But a.
the United States was not then at war
with Germany complaint was made
that this was a breach Of neutrality.
To avoid giving offense the name
was changed to the Lafayette Flying
corps, which is the present odcial
designation.

Measuring Time.

The refinements Of modern time
keeping are illustrated in an invesu.
CATION recently carried out by +. D.
Uric, under the direction Of the Unit
ed States naval observatory, to deter
mine the flag" between the Arlington
and Great Lakes time signals. both Of
which are received by wire from the
naval observatory and converted auto
matically into wireless signals. Be
tween Washington and the Great
Lakes station there are 800 miles OF
telegraph wire, involving several make
circuit relays. The lag between the
two radio stations was found by q
series of tests to average O.OS5 sec
ond, with q probable error Of OOO2
second, says the Scientific American.

Women ~ jockeys.

Since jockeys from the race courses
in England have gone, almost to a
man, to the firing line, women have
professed themselves as eager to take
their places. Some already are trained
for the purpose, among them not q
few who, in more prosperous and less
belligerent days, rode to hounds over
English fields and meadows. Many Of
these, confident In their riding ability
and skill. have petitioned the stewards
Of England's governing Jockey club
the arbiters of the turf-to grant them
jockeys licenses. Recent reports bore
the information that the stewards are
giving the petition serious considera-
ton and that there Is strong prob
ability of their granting 1t.
