A Long Hike for the Red Cross

On last Tuesday Miss Lois Fisk, of
Syracuse, N. Y, passed through Je-
rome on her coast to coast walk on
a wager with the New York Board of
trade. The wager is as follows:
Miss Fisk is to complete her walk
with over 1000 inhabitants In five
OF the states through which she pass
es. II she wins the NJ Y. Board of
Trade pays to the Red Cross the sum
of $1,O0O,O00 and If she loses she
is to serve as public tenographer for
the board for six years without pay.
The young lady feels and looks in
excellent condition, and is certain she
will win. She has been on the road
since January 1917, and has already
visited the towns required In four of
the states. Oregon, her next state,
will be the fifth.
Miss Fisk has travelled over 5000
miles SO far. On the start she had
a dog, which proved a bother, ow-
Ing to fights, etc, so 1t was discard
ed for burro, and then another
burro, but these two had to be left
behind as they could not stand the
pace
Miss Fisk came here from Twin
Falls and left after a short stop for
Wendell She is not permitted to
her expenses; neither is she allowed
to ride, regardless Of roads or wealth
err.
That the other parties to the wager
may keep in touch with the young
lady she sends a card from each town
signed by the postmaster of that
place.

Whether there is ell in paying
quantities under Twin Falls or rot
has become a moot question since the
Amalgamated Sugar company factory
struck small flow while putting in
deep well this week. The we'll was
being put in for the purpose of secur-
ing deep water flow for use in the
factory. At depth of 819 feet oil
began to come up IN long strings. i
burns readily and gives out the char
acteristic odor After going down a
few inches further the drilling ceas-
ed and since that time nothing has
been done. The oil is still coming
up steadily, though not in large
quantities. What further steps will
be taken is unknown. The oil flow
is sufficient to spoil the water for the
uses for which II was intended I'M
less the flow should cease.-Twin

Boys and Girls Clubs

There are twenty-five girls and
boys In Lincoln county who complet-
ed their club projects acceptably and
who received achievement pins from
the University Extension Department
OF the State of Idaho and the Fed
eral Government cooperating. OAR
rell Rigney of Jerome won the state
sweepstakes prize in potatoes. In the
Mother-Daughter Canning club, Alta
Campbell Of Richfield canned six hun
dred quarts of fruits and vegetables
and won the county championship
In the garden club work and Joe Paw
lik won the county championship in
the corn club work. Gladys Britt
OF Richfield won the first prize on
her report and story in the first year
sewing work. Orval McCorkle won
fourth place in the state and first in
the county in the pig club contest.
Nearly twenty dollars in state prizes
were won by the boys and girls of

ilton, Delevan Smith, Celia Pavlik,
Carol Borden and Veda Grant.
In order to receive recognition
from the state and federal govern
ment, boys and girls who enter the
club work must make an exhibit and
send in their report and story. Many
raised gardens who did not send in
their reports and stories. However.
every boy and girl who raised war
gardens and who assisted In food
production the past summer deserve
praise for the work they have done.
When our country in this great crisis
calls for their help next spring. we
feel sure every boy and girl will be

before the war Brazil had imported large
quantities of shoes and boots from Aus
tria, France and Switzerland, but that at
the present time none are being obtained
from these countries, and that, conse-
quently, most Of Brazil's footwear is now
imported from the United States. Mean
while local manufacture is steadily adj
vancing, but after the war large quaint
ties of shoes will again be imported from
Europe, since neither the Brazilian nor
the Yankee styles seem to fit the South
American taste.
Somewhat different is the situation with
regard to printing and bookbinding
machinery, which was formerly almost ex-
clusively imported from Germany and
Italy. Here the Brazilians rather incline
toward the American article, which is ia
vored by the largest printing and book
binding plants of the country. The same
can be said concerning the electrical
goods, for which Germany appears to have
held monopoly before the war.

the growing merchant marine:
directly responsible for sending and re-
celvng all messages thc signal quarter
masters and the signal boys. Their station
is on the signal bridge, a part of the ship
designated for the purpose and equipped with
all the required apparatus. Several sets of
international signal flags, special navy signal
flags, small semaphore flags, large mechanical
s2maphores keyboards and circuits for the
electric night signal lights, portable wireless
sets, long and high powered telescopes, hal
yards running to the signal yard high up the
mast placed on this bridge.
ga message to a ship near at hand is
usually sent by semaphore. In this method
each word is spelled out letter by letter.
The sender takes a position facing the re-
teiver. The position of the arms relative
to tho body indicates the letter. For each arm
here seven positions-the horizontal on
either side, forty-fvo degrees above, the
fory-fve degrees below the horizontal on
either side, and the vertical position. This
arrangement gives twenty ght positions for
the arms twenty of them being used for
letters of the alphabet. To aid the one re-
oeiving, small flags are carried in each hand
as an extension to the arms. An expert sig
nal man can semaphore messages to another
ship at rate of thirty words minute.
when the distance between ships Is
greater the mechanical semaphore is substi-
tuted. This consists of a pole of square
section about fourteen feet high, with pivot
rear the top on which two arms are sus-
pended. Near the base are two handles con-
nected to the arms through two sprocket
wheels and a sprocket chain The operator
turns the handles into any required positions
Ct the semaphore code, the arms at all times
paralleling the handles. This method is not
40 fast as the former, although twenty to
twenty-five words be sent a minute. At
light the arms are fitted with electric lamps,
rows Of lights showing the position of the
semaphore.
Flag hoists are used for general signals
TO the fleet hoist may consist Of any
number Of flags, depending on the message
t represents. On the signal bridge flags are
lung in specially prepared slots in racks and
mapped on to each other by means Of a ring
nd snap hook.

- colored electric lights is used called the
Ardos.' There are four globes in vertical
ne, each globe capable of showing either a
ed or white light. Each display represents

"The telegraph code is also used at night
by means Of white light that is flashed FOR
long or short interval, depending on
whether dot or dash is intended
"Powerful telescopes or binoculars are used
by all Quartermasters and signal boys when
receiving messages. These rivet attention on
the message being sent"

Keeping Pace With the U-B0at Menace
(.THOUCH tho SHIN;

A THOUGH the submarine situation
"A has materially improved, the
- matter of protecting ships against
U-boats is still of pressing Importance.
"The Popular Science Monthly" asks
straight question, and follows it up with
a new theory. Thus:
"How many ships could be saved for the
worlds commerce if there were means i'm
mediately available to- plug ugly holes in
their hulls, caused by torpedoes, mines, ex-
plosive shells and collisions? This is the
question which confronted Wisconsin in
ventor and he straightway set about to an
swcr it by inventing a metal apron which
can be rolled up and carried on the ships
deck and Immediately lowered to plug hole
torn in the hull.
"The apron consists of a series of bulb tee
irons such as are used for deck beams in
ships or as part of the steel framework in
large buildings. The irons are held together
by means of flexible metal strips bolted to
their fanges. Between the metal strips and
the angle aangcs strips of heavy tar
paper or rubber compound, to make the
apron waterproof when it is placed over the
hole
"The flexible metal strips which hold the
bulbs together permit the entire apron to
be rolled up like carpet and to be carried
on the ships deck on small wheeled car
riagc When a mole is stove in the ships
side, the apron is rolled to the nearest der
rick, which may be the mast boom or small
steam winch placed along the side for the
purpose. The apron is unrolled and lowered
into the water and down to the hole, where
the inrushng water sucks it into contact
with the hull. A flexible rubber or canvas
pipe about eight inches in diameter is at
tached TO the side of the apron. 1t comes
into contact with the ships hull and extends
clear around the contour of the apron. This
pipe is filled with air pumped from ma.
chinery on board, so that the apron fits the
side of ragged hole snugly that water
cannot rush in around the edges.
ITO locate the hole in the side, two heav.
hooks are first lowered by hand and caught
in the front and rear projecting sides of the
hole. A third and heavier hook is then low
cred midway between the first two and II
is made fast to the top edge of the hole. Tho

Guam

I'll ERE'S a history of Guam 1t is so
concise that even very busy read
crs may peruse it from cover to cover, as
one might say. The account comes from
"The Guam News Letter." Then:
Guam is the largest and southernmost
island of the Mariana group. The harbor of
Apra is in latitude 13 deg. 26 min. north
longitude LA deg 43 min. east. The island
is about thirty miles long and from four to
nine miles wide; it comprises an area of 21O
square miles.
capital, Agana, situated in the north
central part, on the west coast; estimated
population, 5000.
"The island of Guam was discovered by
fernando de Magallancs on March 6, 1921
No settlement was made on it by Europeans
until June 16, 1868, when a mission was
established by Padre Diego Luis de Sanvi-
torres, a Spanish Jesuit, by order of Philip "
of Spain. For the next thirty years fierce
religious campaign, backed by the soldery,
was carried on to convert the natives to
