Take Care Of the Dishes.

Don't smash crockery; the govern
ment is cutting down on the manufac-
ture of ten principal clay products
from Is to to as high as so per cent.
The manufacturing program of this
industry was ordered rearranged and
divided, placing 1t on the basis Of war
industry.
Besides crockery, this includes face
brick, common and paving brick, terra
Gotta, roofing tile, floor and wall tile
and sanitary ware which were cur
tailed 80 per cent; hollow tile, sewer
pipe and drain tile 25 per cent, and
stoneware, with the exception Of chem
icaI stOneware, 15 per cent. Another
order curtails the output of enamel
ware 30 per cent.
This action is declared to be the fore
runner of similar curtailment of prac-
tically every industry considered not
vital. Parts of the plants affected will
be converted for war industries, and
men, materials and transportation will
be made available for war production,

A new kind of surgical splint in
which galvanized wire netting takes
ne place of wood, has been put on
the market, says the Popular Science
Monthly. 1t has been tried and offers
many advantages. The steel entering
into the construction of this woven
wire splint is so tempered that it can
be nodded by hand. Being galvanized,
the wire is sterilized and at the same
time welded into a single piece that
can not fray out at loose ends. AS
the splint is porous, it allows certain
amount of evaporation and air circula-
tion to the dressing beneath, which
wood or plaster does not. The splint
comes rolled like a bandage and is
lighter and less bulky than wooden

Checks In Gaelic.

Edward Hungerform, writing of the
evolution of the steamboat in the Ma
tional Marine, opens his argument
with the following paragraph:
''The United States has been and
still remains the nation Of the steam
boat. She was the first nation to sue
cessfully apply steam propulsion to
boats, and even though England shot
ahead of us in her development of the
steam vessel upon the salt seas-while
we still clung rather proudly to our
vaunted clipper ships-we had great
pride in the steamboats,, big and little,
which piled upon our inland waters.
And the affection that the steamboat
gained in the hearts of Americans
more than a century, it has never lost"

LIVED LONG IN WILD STATE
AIredaIe Dog for Several Years Main
talned Wild Predatory State In
the Yellowstone Park.

An instance of n dogs return to the
savage state Of his wolf ancestry
came TO light in February in the yell
lowstone National park when Scout
Anderson's report of a trip into the
Buffalo Fork country contained, under
the heading OF predatory animals
killed, a mention Of one mountain lion,
one bobcat, four coyotes. and an Aire-
dale dog.
This dog, which probably wandered
into the park from some farm or set
tlement q few miles over the border,
has been living in the Yellowstone in
wild state for several years.
Whether or not he fraternized with his
cousins the wolves and the coyotes
can not be known certainly. No doubt
he lived as they live, at the expense
Of young and weaker deer and elk, and
smaller prey. Probably he lived alone,
against all animal kind as they were
against him. There are well-authenti-
Gated instances Of dogs thus returning
to savage nature. il speaks well for
his tenacity and strength that, alone
Of his kind in a country where all
kinds Of wild animals live still their
natural lives, he survived. He may
have been a dog of good pedigree.
Anyway, the dog had been seen al
intervals for several years and was
officially classed among the animals

mails, are sought and killed because

Too Much soan BAD.

Many persons abuse soap by making
a stiff, creamy lather In bathing
under the belief that this is necessary
to dissolve dirt that fills the pores Of
the skin. On the contrary, DR.. Samuel
Dixon, health commissioner Of Penn
sylvania, says very little soap is re.
Quired to break up dirt and permit
water to remove foreign substances
from the pores so that glands may
perform their normal function. Elk.
cessive use of soap usually fills the
pores with fatty substances and re-

of disease, especially of respiratory

Selecting a Farm.

In a recent examination Of eighth
grade pupils, on the subject Of agricul-
ture, the question was asked:
"What are the principal things to be
considered in selecting farm?"
One youngster answered emphatical-
ly, but with questionable spelling:
"You must get good ground. Don't
get too much clay soil. And good
buildings on the farm, and a good fense
and a good well and no large hill on
it. You must get cattle barn to. And
clost to town and clost to road. Don't
have an old muddy lainl"

Returned to His Allegiance.

Since the war broke out my boys,
five and eight years Of age, have done
nothing but talk or play war. One day
with four other little fellows they de-
cided to play war, insisting that my
youngest boy be on the German side.
After much arguing and crying and
yet afraid of breaking up the game he
finally decided to be German. Each
side took their places, supposedly be-
hind the trenches. When the call came
to fire the little fellow turned and
fired at one of his men. The older one
on seeing this yelled: "You can't
down one of your own men," when de-
family he replied: "Aw. I'm turned
traitor; I'm an American. ."-Exchange

Roanoke Island Known to Fame Be-
cause II Was Site Of Ralelgh's
Inflated Colony.

on a desolate stretch Of sandy beach
In North Carolina lies Roanoke island,
the birthplace OF Virginia Dare, the
tirst English child born In America.
Sir Walter Raleigh was responsible
for Roanoke island being placed on the
pages of history, for In 1856 he sent out
a colOnizlng expedition TO America, and
fate and the rough winds of the Allan
tic cast the ship up on Roanoke IS
land. On account Of the climate, the
lack of food and the ubiquitous In
dian the island was voted as unin-
hahItable by the colonists who packed
their belongings and took the next
ship back to England and civilization.
But Raleigh was not discouraged. He
sent out another colony, which consent
ed to stay, and the man in charge of
the expedition returned with the glad
news. Four years later, when Sir Wal
ter Raleigh sent him to report on the
progress of the colony, he found on
the island no trace Of settlers or set
tlement save the inscription "CrOatan"
| carved on tree. Slr waiter then
gave up the Roanoke island project as
hopeless.
Roanoke island has now been IN
habited for many years, chiefly by fish
ermen and life-savers. The latter are
negroes from the coast guard station
at Pea island, which is separated from
Roanoke island by the sound. Pea
island, the only coast guard station in
this country manned by negroes, is off
a dangerous section Of the coast. A
derelict ship cast on the beach is suck.

tide. The cOlored guardsmen have
established an excellent record in
