Charles Warren Resigns.

4 development today in connection
with the Chamberlain bill was the res
ignation of Charles Warren OF Boston,
as assistant attorney general. His
retirement from the department OF
Justice is said to have been caused
by his advocacy of this bill and his
criticism Of civil processes Of justice
in war times. He Is said to have az
sisted in drafting the measure.
The department Of justice is repre-
sented as believing that the drastic
measures proposed in the Chamberlain
bin are entirely unnecessary If con-
gress will enact adequate laws to per
nit the department and its agents to
prosecute persons for disloyalty, sabo-
tage and other enemy activities under
, federal statutes.

the government in the prosecution of
the war, declared before the senate
military committee today that the de-

Immediate enactment of legislation
to permit the military authorities to
deal directly with spies and German

way to curb lynch law against disloy-

Why the Setting Sun Seems
Larger and of Oval Shape.

We all know an optical illusion
makes the setting sun seem larger and
often of an oval shape, says Popular
Astronomy, but a recent explanation
by w. r. Badgley of some of the
causes which bring this about is in
teresting. The atmosphere near the
earth's surface, when hot and dusty,
acts as a magnifying glass. Looking
upward, we see through more rarefied
air, which does not possess the magni-
flying power. The oval appearance is
due to the fact that the sun is seen
through the edge of an aerial lens,
which may be clearly illustrated by
drawing 81 small circle on piece of
white paper and placing a reading
glass over it. Under the center of the
lens the circle appears round, but if
the glass is moved until the circle is
near its edge its shape changes to an
eYal.

Wrist Motion Ascribed as
Secret of Attaining Speed
In Art of Husking Corn

Corn husking is rapidly becoming
an art of rare attainment. In years
past, observes a writer in the Illinois
State Register, many good stories have
been told about records achieved by
men accomplished in that art. AS
stated by husking expert, in years
past, farmers coupled size with skill
and would not hire a hand to husk
corn unless he was giant physically.
Those were the days before the sci
ence of the business had been devel-
oped. Experience taught the lesson
that the wrist motion, if properly &C
quired, would enable an ordinary husk-
er to develop speed. When the sci
ence of the game was brought out,
the smaller men gradually won recog-
milton as huskers of rare ability.
No standard of production can be
laid down to govern the ability of the
average husker. The foundation OF
the corn determines greatly the speed
of the picker. With corn of medium
height, well matured and standing
erect, there is some opportunity to
estimate a good days work. These
three conditions rarely ever existed
at the same time.
Viewed from the angle of trade,
corn shocking is rapidly becoming
craft, according to the announcement
of a local trade journal. In past
years corn shuckers have worked
without any attempt to secure a uni
form rate. In most cases the shucker
worked by the day and it followed
that on rainy and stormy days, the
men drew their wages, even though
they did not go into the field.
AS corn husking grew to be more
and more a profession, it is reported,
the huskers began to angle for short
err hours and a more uniform scale OF
wages, either based upon the day
wage or the commission on the bushel
gathered. The latter system is rap
idly gaining a foothold.

Total Value of 1918 Food
Crop in France Falls Below
Amount Produced Last Year

Despite an increase of 25 per cent
in wheat production, the total value
of the 1918 crop of cereals, beans and
potatoes in France is less than that of
last year. This has been disclosed by
M. Boret, the French food controller
of the chamber of deputies, in an adj
dress.
''It should be stated clearly" said
M. Boret, "that the total nutrition
value of the 1913 crop of cereals as
well as beans and potatoes in France,
is below the total nutrition value of
these products for last year. The
wheat crop fortunately is larger and
of better quality, but the maize, bar
ley, oats, beans and potato crops are
considerably smaller.
''The potato situation is particularly
grave, for whereas the average for the
last ten years is 100000 long tons,
this year the potato crop will not ex-
coed 100000 long tons. Despite this
shortage, we must supply the allied
troops fighting in our land. We can
not possibly refuse this indispensable
food to English and American troops
who are constantly increasing in num-
bers."

cigars of certain classes would be
packed in wooden boxes of less than

of all such box material would be re-
duced as far as practicable. Under
this arrangement there would be few
cigars in containers of so capacity,
and none at all in containers Of % or

charged by the hotels and the prices
which they are required to pay for

Outside of Willemstad itself there

ARABIA'S PLACE ON THE MAP
"CradIe of Islam" of Great Importance
in the Aspirations of Warning
Countries.

lum days sailed past Gurna were told
to look with reverence at the spot, for

writes John Van Ess in Asia Magazine.
In December, 1914, the British took
Gurna and for some time, at least, for
the first time, Arabia was put on the
map.
The advance which British arms
have made in the land Of the Arab is
important in proportion as the Ger
mans regarded Arabia as important.
Arabia looms large on the Teuton1c
horizon because it is the door to Nit
teleuropa," and because 1t is the cradle
of Islam. Since Islam is prOfessed

there lay the key to any situation
which would involve that part Of the
world. Follow the finger and it is
significant that the objective Of the

campaign was Aleppo. Thence draw

Nearly All Undersea Boats
Are Equipped With Kitchens
Where Cook Prepares Meals

In the earlier submarines no pro-
vision was made for cooking the mems
meals. Everything had to be eaten
cold.
This did not matter so very much
when these craft were quite small,
with correspondingly small radius of
action.
But when larger undersea boats
came to be built, the provision of prop
erly cooked hot meals became press
ing necessity.
So now, says writer in Pearson's
Magazine, all but the very oldest types
of submarines are fitted with a small
galley, no bigger than very moder-
ate-sized cupboard, where the cook
has just room to stand in front Of his
dolls house stove. This latter is cleo
trically heated, in order that the al
ready oppressive air may not be fur
Their vitiated by smoke or fumes.
The menu on board a submarine is
not varied, consisting mostly Of stew,
with an occasional ''mugup'' of salt
fish for change, and plenty of strong,
piping-hot coffee to chase away sleep
from the tired eyelids.
Meals are eaten out Of aluminium
dishes in collapsible mess-tables when
the vessel is submerged. When the
submarine is running on the surface
her crew usually prefer to take thetr
plates of stew on deck, and the North
sea attends to it's sailing for them.
