SUBSTITUTES TO
Save ESSENTIALS
Automobile Makers Are Urged to
Exercise Greatest Care in
Selecting Materials.
Strain in leather SUPPLY
Tests Have Repeatedly Shown That
Tensile Strength Is Greater Than
Real Articls-Are Not Affect
ed by Weather.

Manufacturers of motOrcars can eff
feet considerable saving in material
II reasonable care is exercised in the
selection Of substitutes, according to
Fred X. Parke, president of a Michi-
gan motor concern. AS one Of the first
and most important steps in this di-
rection, Mr.. Parke suggests the use of
substitute leather for upholstering in
passenger cars and trucks.
"Automobile manufacturers will go
q long way toward meeting the gov
eminent half way in it's efforts to
keep the industry going by the use Of
substitute leather" says Mr.. Parke. SIN
addition to the tremendous amount
Of leather Being used BY our govern
ment for harness, saddles, shoes and
a hundred other things, the allied gov
ernments are laying plans to buy
leather in the American markets for
use of the armies in France in very
short time. The British government
purchased a large amount Of leather
last year and consumed almost the en-
tire supply Of some grades.
Leather Supply Strained.
"Shoe factories also will be busy
making shoes for General Pershing's
army, as the war department plans to
call for a million and a half each
month. This means that the country's
source of leather supply will be
strained to the limit"
MFR. Parke has made complete in
vestigation of the possibilities of sub
stitute leather and has come to the
conclusion that for most purposes, 1t
should give as much or more satiSfac-
ton than the best leather. Tests have
repeatedly shown that the tensile
strength is greater and that it will far
outlast real leather. Substitute leath-
ers are usually made Of waterproof
material and are not affected by
weather as is leather. For this rea-
son, the war department has specified
uses, such as truck covers, ambulance
upholstery, sweat bands in steel he'll
NETS, leggings, waterproof coats and
ponchos.
No Saving in Substitute.
The automobile manufacturers will
not save any money in using the sub
stitute leather. It will cost him as
much as some grades of leather that
have been universally used during the
last few years.
81 believe automobile buyers will
readily cooperate if all automobile
manufacturers will adopt the substi-
tute leather as a patriotic move" says
Mr.. Parke. II have discussed the sub
Ject with a great many dealers during
the last week and all have expressed
their enthusiastic willingness to CO.
operate.
'These same dealers have since
written ME that owners to whom they
have talked declare that they will be
glad to accept their cars, whether
they be expensive twelve-cylinder cars
or light medium-priced cars, uphol-
stored with substitute leather. 1t is
up to every one Of us to work with
the government at this time, and be-
lieve the automobile industry can do
much by taking action in this matter
at once"

FATTENING
TURKEYS

The turkey, being somewhat of
wild fowl. does not take kindly to
small pens and is usually fattened on
the range. Birds that are to be mar
keted for the holiday trade are given
all the cracked corn they will eat
twice day. When freezing weather
comes early and destroys insect life
1t Is advisable to furnish some form
OF meat feed, such as commercial meat
scrap, where birds can have easy ac-
cess to it.
In case local market is to be sup
piled 1t is possible to feed turkeys in
crates. The birds are put in small
crates In quiet, protected building
and fed three times a day on batter
made Of cornmeal. low grade flour,
meat scraps and a small amount of
bran mixed with buttermilk. This
method is more expensive and only
practical where markets are to be sup
piled. The old range method Of fat
tening Is more desirable as well as eco.
nomical.
Care should be taken to remove all
breeding stock from the birds select
ed for market. as 1t Is not desirable
that those to be kept over should be
come too fat.

American Medal of Honor
Is the Hardest to Gain;
The Most Rarely Awarded

Naval and military men of America
claim that their medal of honor, the
equivalent to Britains Victoria Cross,
is the hardest to gain, the most rarely
awarded, and therefore the most pre-
cious and least known of all such dec
orations throughout the world. When
man is entitled to wear an inconspic-
uous bronze star pendant from n blue
ribbon on which are Is white stars 1t
is certain that he has performed a
deed Of almost superhuman fearless
ness. The Medal of Honor is a FIVE
pointed star with medallion in the
center bearing the head of Minerva
and around 1t "United States of Amer
lea" in relief. On each ray of the star
is an oak leaf, and the points them
selves are trefoil-shaped. A laurel
wreath in green enamel encircles the
whole, and this wreath is surmounted
by the word "Valor," which in turn
is surmounted by an eagle that at
taches the decoration to its ribbon.
The holder of this decoration, II an
army man, wears, when In service uni
form, u button or badge, six-sided, and
made Of blue silk with 13 white stars.
II in the navy the decoration is repre-
sented by a small red, white and blue
bow knot.

Alcohol May Be Distilled
From Fumes of a Bake-0ven

Through the seizure of still in
bakery in New Mexico, where quan.
tity Of alcohol was discovered that had
heen distilled from bake-oven fumes,
considerable discussion has taken
place concerning the manufacturing Of
alcohol as by-product of bread. The
still was a crudely constructed affair.
the vapor from the bread being con-
Quoted from the oven into worm,
which was cooled by passing through u
barrel of water, cOndensing the vapor.
The baker was not arrested. as 1t was
clearly shown that no evasion Of the
law was intended. However, posses
sion Of still is in violation of the law,
and this one was seized by the In
ternal revenue service. The baker
states that alcohol can be manufactur-
ed for war use at very small cost by
army bake shops and bakers In large
cities. The practicability Of the plan
remains to be worked out.

tire American people TO the support of
the Red Cross spirit now as never be-
fore. The money to be raised In men,
bership dues is secondary. 1t is the
spiritual phase that is important, for

the world that the American people
will see them through their experiences
