Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1918-01-22

A curious craft has made its ap.
pearance on the beach Of Alanti,
City. IL is a boat that can run ur
on the hard sand and travel over the
land. albeit rather clumsily. This,
however, is TO be expected, because,
after all, the water is its natural
habitat and its incursions on land
are only occasional.
When on land the boat travels ON
tractor wheel 90 inches wide and
81 inches in diameter, while it is
steadied and stecred by two trail
wheels aft, according to a CORE
spondent. The craft enters the wa
ter stern first until aAoat, when the
steering wheels are lifted out of the
water and a steering oar is brought
into play.
The inventor Of this interesting
craft is Rear Admiral John A. How
ell, retired. His purpose in building
this amphibian boat is to provide a
craft which may be of value not
merely for taking excursionists out
through the surf, but also for life
saving purposes. Being an automo-
bile boat it dispenses with a large
crew and is much more powerful and |
of greater capacity than the usual |
lifeboat. Admiral Howell believes
that it can also be used for coast de-
Tense and as a tender for seaplanes.
Furthermore, he considers it SUI
Derior to other boats for handling
'roops on open coasts. Admiral
Howell has been experimenting with
boats for many years and
his is his third and latest model.

LEARNS BASS FAvORITE FOOD
Scientific Fisherman Conducts Autopsy
Which Reveals Certain Kind Of
Beetle Has Preference.

A little body Of water in Essex
county, in the Adirondack noun
tains, says the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle, has long been known
by the guides to contain EXCEPTIONAL
ly large black bass Of the small
mouthed variety, but until quite re-
Gently no fish Of large size had been
taken.
A few weeks ago q stranger to the
guides in the vicinity visited Lake
Bixby, as the pond is called, and
brought into camp a string of bass
which literally astonished the ma
tives. Before returning to civiliza-
ton the stranger partly revealed his
secret. He explained that on a pre-
vious visit he had caught a two
pound bass with conventional lure,
and had carefully subjected it to an
autopsy in order to identify its ia
vorite food. He became satisfied that
the fish preferred a certain kind of
beetle, and this years experience
convinced him that his conclusion
was correct.
Unless the curious fisherman is
mistaken, the capture of bass in the
deep and cool Adirondack lakes will
be less difficult than formerly, as it is
claimed that the beetle is obtainable
without great trouble.

RUSSIAN WANTS BREAD AND REST AFTER HARD
 S|GE OF FIGHTING
Moscow Has a Bread Allow thee of One fourth Pound
 Each Person a Day.

Moscow, Oct. 9.-(Correspondenlc of Associated Press 1.-The average
 Russian wants bread and rest from the turmoil through which he has
 been passing for the last four years,
 and he believes he will eventually
 find these two blessings. He doesn't know exactly how, but he's hopeful
 The Russian public is struggling along with great patience, making the most of it's very limited food sup ply, making over it's much (worn clothing, polishing it's shabby shoes and getting all the amusement it can out of life by attending the theatres and visiting summer gardens.
 Moscow's bread allowance is one
 quarter of pound daily for each per- sOn--if he gets it. And the quality
 of the bread varies so greatly that there is much betting and testing as to what sort of bread the food com
 mittees will supply the following day. Straw enters largely into the com position of the bread supplied to Moscow, Petrograd and other cities for from the grain-producing centers. Sometimes the straw is chopped so finely 1t cannot be detected. On other days it is so coarse and abundant in the loaf that straws an inch long
 may be found.

basis during the last five months and a general survty of market and con- sumption conditions, it was agreed that a fair price interpretation of the ratio for the month of October would be an average price for the average packers droves of about $18.50 per hundred pounds at Chicago. It can not be expected that the day-to-day mar ket prices, with the fluctuating flow of demand and supply, can be main- tained at any fixed and definite fig ures, but that it should be the aim to maintain about an average during the month.
 World Demand After the War.
 (5) The indication of war demands are that the supply of pork products for the future should be kept up to the present level of production. The producers have responded magnifi- gently and are placing at the hands of the government the hogs with which to carry over the allied and domestic necessities for the next twelve months. It is obvious that after peace the world demand for pork products will be greatly increased over the pres ent large war demands. The Food Ad- ministration should endeavor during the war to maintain prices for hogs that will bt profitable to the pro- ducer and fair to the consumer, and to give this assurance to the pro- ducer the committee recommends that the Food Administration should at once announce it's intention to main tain the minimum price of mt less than $15.50 continuously during the war

 How do you find the bread these days-f"
 The reply was:
 We can't eat it, but it makes ex- cellent straw hats"
 The dearth of alcoholic drinks af- forded the subject for cartoon which gave Moscow hearty laugh A customer holding a. bottle of per- fume in his hand stood before an apothecary, to whom he complained:
 "I don't like the odor of this eau de cologne"
 Gracious, one doesn't smell 1t nowadays" the druggist exclaimed One drinks it''
 Under the greatly restricted diet enforced by the food shortage. per- sons in all walks of life have lost flesh to such an extent that really fat men and women are seldom seen. The chief work of tailOrs and dress makers nowadays is taking in of gar ments to adjust them to reduced fig ures.
 At recent music hall performance an enormous fat man who was shown to seat near the stage broke his chair into pieces when he sat down. The accident made so much noise that the attention of the entire au- dience was drawn to the unhappy man who was extricated from the wreckage by two ushers. The audi ence rose and cheered vehemently The fat man acknowledged the ap- plause good naturedly and took no offense at shouted inquiries of '9How do you do it on a quarter of pound of bread a day

 With one of the observers The Associated. Press correspondent in- spected the machines, now laden with bombs. The observer explained the intricate system of releasing each bomb in turn by means of trips, and at such instants as his desired goal appeared beneath him through an opening in the floor of his little cub by hole in the rear of the plane.
 He called attention with pride to the tiny Iron Crosses on theq wings and fuselage in each airplane--mark- ing the spots where shrapnel and machine gun bullets have torn peril ously near to pilot or observer or both, and where the repairs have been made by mechanics who are, jealous ly proud fthe little insignia of nar- row escapes.
 One of the machines bore more than twenty such crosses in one small part of the fuselage between pilot and observer alone, and the condu,io" said with a laugh that it was great good luck that no vital part of the machine had been hit.
 He told nonchalantly and with mod. esty, of narrow escapes he and his fellow observers and pilots had had. One man had been fairly raised eff his sea. by piece of shell that had penetrated the airplane from be- meath. Another had been wounded in feet and legs by shrapnel that enter ed the fuselage He could have told such anecdotes for hours, but sig nal from the commander of the squad ron announced that it was nearly time to start.

 Instructions to Packing Firms.
 In accordance with the committees recommendation we will issue instruc- tions to the packing firms, about 50 in number, who participate in con trolled orders, effecting so far as these orders will go the stabilization of price on these lines.
 You will recognize that this should be effective as long as the controlled orders dominate the market If they fall short of this it will be necessary to rely upon the packers carrying in stock any surplus pending absorption by the controlled orders or general consumption.
 This was accomplished last winttr under difficulties and break below the minimum was prevented.
