BY PIPE MAJOR GEORGE KAY

tPipe Major George Kay, onetime
piper in the Argyle, Sutherland High
landers of Scotland. now enlisted in
the Canadian Black Watch, is the
Pied Piper Of Chicago. He and his
men of the Kiltie Band have piped
hundreds of recruits to the Chicago
Depots of the British Canadian Re
cruiting Mission. Three Battalions
for Britain was the mark he set fol-
himself when he set about doing his
bit" in recruiting and pitched bust
ness to the winds.

he was drummer for the pipes" OF
the Highland Light Infantry in Scot
land.
Nearly half million people have
heard the returned officers speak al
the recruiting rallies and other meet
ings of the British-CAnadian Recruit
ing Mission at which Pipe Major Kay
and his bagpipers and drumners have
thrilled the crowd by the spirit OF
their quicksteps and the beat Of their
drums.)

proach to her family
The power of the police cannot reach these
traitors, because the present food recommends
tions ask only for voluntary compliance. Food
Administrator Hoover went on the theory that
Americans did not need policeman's cudgel to
enlist support in his measures to save the coun-
try from calamity.
The only power that reach them is the
denunciation and contempt of their neighbors.
If this is applied with rigour, food traitors will be
ashamed to show themselves and will quickly
make amends.
No one need question the wrath OF public
opinion. 1t makes itself felt with such poignancy
that the guilty person cannot escape.
The treasury department recently adduced
the following figures to show the Importance of
conserving food on days set aside for this pur-
pose
Taking the family of five as unit for the
average family in America, the saving OF the
pound of bread and butter and sugar and meat
means saving of more than 100000 pounds
of bread, butter sugar and meat week. There
are 1000 pounds in ton. and 100000 pounds
make 900 tons. A fair-sized merchantmen or
freighter will carry 10000 tons. Thrift IN the
kitchen means that four 1O,O00-ton freighters
laden with four important articles of food for an
army could be sent abroad every week. It is easy
to see what an important item this would be in
the feeding of our forces over there
There is another angle to this thrift in the
kitchen, which is just as important to the sue
cess of the war. Bread, butter sugar and meat
cost money. I think all have had the fact
brought home to us. Let the loaf of bread repre-
sent saving of ten cents, the butter saving of
fifty cents, the sugar saving of dime, and the
meat saving of thirty cents, making total of
a dollar saved each week. If each of the 100000,
900 families in the United States saved dollar
a week in the kitchen and that money were in
vested in Government securities, the Govern
ment would have available s20,000,00O week.
And no one would feel the pinch of the saving"

The Dog Nuisance

The annual statements of expenditures by
the township trustees of Wayne county show an
appalingly large sum of money paid for sheep,
pigs and chickens killed by dogs. In period of
our history when food and wool are Of tremend-
Gus Importance the slaughter of sheep and pigs
by dogs is calamity.
Farmers complain that they cannot cooper
ate with the government in sheep production un-
less they have protection against sheep-killing
dogs. We suggest that farmers organize dog
hunts and kill off hundreds of homeless dogs in
Wayne county. A dog that acts as Waterman for
farm house. or one that is trained to guard
sheep, occupies useful place in the community.
Hundreds of dogs in Wayne county serve no
good purpose at all, excepting to eat food that
that might well be used for the support of hui
man beings. Richmond has supply of mongrels
and ours that ought to be shot.
The State Council of Defense has appointed a
committee to confer with the attorney general on
the best method of eradicating sheep-killing
dogs. Wayne county farmers and the County
Coucil of Defense might agree on method that
would rid this community of the nuisance.

Food Traitors

There are traitors on the battlefield and
traitors in the kitchen.
The fate of a soldier who sells out his honor
to the enemy is death. The fate of traitor who
jeopardizes the army by refusing to observe
meatless and wheatless days has not been deter
mined
Public opinion so far is the only Judge that
can sit on the case. Public opinion ought to rele-
gate the kitchen traitors into oblivion.

I EVEN SCIENCE IS FREE
sdperstitious Ideas Said TO Be Com
mon Among Hard-Headed Men
Who Weld the Sealpel.

It Is the unknown, the unforesee-
able, the inexplicable which breeds
superstition, and, contrary to COM
mfn opinion, there is an amount of
SOME such darkness within the pale
OF science. Surgery, in particular,
is science where clear reasoning
anf calculation reign predominant;
hde, also, battling unknown factors
enter. There is the odd, inexplicable
thing which will render a faultless
operation a failure-the surgeon is
dumb and helpless before hidden
powers. During the Civil war 80
out Of every 100 wounds became in
fefted, and one in some strange and
mysterious manner remained free
frPm pus. Now SO wounds are kept
clsan and one becomes mysteriously
infected, despite every precaution.
Why?
We know, narrates the Record, of
surgeons who will not operate on
Friday, who must wear a certain
gown, who will not let a red-headed
nurse assist them, who will postpone
an operation until the next day be-
cause they have spilled salt, who
must be the last one in the operating
room, and so on.
