The example of the value of college
girls in real farm work which was given
last season by Vassar students is likely
to prove catching. Next year it will be
even more evident thai the United
States needs to coax all the food out OF
the ground tina ii is possible to obtain.
AZ wellesley, FOR example, DR.. Margaret
Clay Ferguson, head of the botany de-
partment, has proclaimed the doctrine
that the knitting needles must give
way to the hoe" So it is likely to be
with young women there and elsewhere.
The necessity which put many young
English women into farm work is pretty
certain to be felt here. The present
though at Wellesley is to request the
trustees to turn college land over to
willing students when planting time
comes again.

IL actual trials prove the scheme to
be practicable, it is understood that in
order to check the depredations of the
enemy's U-boats, immense ocean going
barges towed by powerful armed tugs,
may be used instead of steamships for
transporting freight through the sub
marine zones. Long, low-sitting, in
closed craft OF steel construction will be
tested. Crews being unnecessary, the
oarges are to be decked a few inches
above the water line 80 that from a
distance they will be practically inyis-

orally known, a tug, because OF its small

duel, should a U-boat risk such a fight,
the tug would have nearly an even

Through the ingenuity of a French
chemist who was struck by the fact
that in h military hospitals Of Paris
alone about 400 pounds of absorbent
cotton was used daily. a process has
been developed which makes it possible
to use soiled cotton a second time. The
first step is the removal of all grease
by boiling 10 or II hours in a soda pres
sure for three hours in a sealed con-
tainer filled with the same solution.
After this the cotton is thoroughly
washed in a machine, and all the mois-
ture removed by placing it III a hign-
speed centrifugal drier. Drying is fol-
lowed by bleaching with hypochlorite
OF lime and a second washing and dry
ing. Finally the purified product In

While the controversy still RACES In
France around the problem of provid.
ing husba nds for the young women or
the republic after the war, French
psychologists and economists have in
dignantly rejected any suggestion OF
the adoption of the 'ersatz" or substl-
tute marriages, as put forth by Ger
many. An extensive campaign Is being
carried on by DR.. Robert de Simone,
a noted physician, for the legalizing of
contract marriages for. u period Of
three years. His plan is for the con
tracing parties to he at liberty to dis.
solve their union at the end of the
