Steel which has become rusty can
be cleaned by brushing it with
paste composed as follows: Half an
ounce of cyanide of potassium, half
an ounce of CASTLE soap, an ounce of

washed after the paste has been ap-
piled, in solution of half an ounce
of cyanide of potassium in two ounces
of water. On the other hand, rust
may be prevented on steel parts by
applying the following mixture with

High school have enlisted in the boys
working reserve. The purpose is
service in production. Many farmers
seem eager to secure workers. Two
boys who are out on a wheat ranch
are getting Sll0 each per month and
board. This is unusual. The boys
have enlisted for service, not for
money, but it seems the farmers are
willing to pay the money.
Under the direction of the extension
department of the University of Ne
braska, Joe Ihm is organizing the
work in school gardens for the city.
Each school district has volunteer
director of school gardens. Children
are taught how to prepare soil, how to
plant, cultivate, harvest and market
garden products. Canning is to corre-
late with the work in school gardening.
Children are required to keep an ac-
count of expenses incident to the gar
den work, and an account of receipts
and write up report of the summer
work. Many will raise garden products
and market them to buy thrift stamps.

service for the country. Everyone
is familiar with the fact that a large
number OF drafted men are rejected
on account of physical disability.
Many pedal difficulties found could
have been corrected had these diff
culties been recognized in childhood.
This one illustration is given just to
suggest the purpose of the work we
are doing.
Weights and measurements OF the
child are taken and these are averaged
so that we may know at once how
much the child varies from the nor
NAL size as indicated by scale
furnished us by DIR. Emmet Holt. The
mother is instructed in the best
means of caring for the child's health
and making such physical corrections
as are necessary to its welfare. One
card is sent to the United States gov
ernment and one is kept by the moth
err. On this same card, as the child
advances in age, new records are
made to indicate improvement. 1t IS
hoped that future report may re-

Food Conservation.
One of the most important problems
in this war is the question Of the
food supply and ships to carry it. The
school children have secured pledges
from almost every home for economy
in the use of food. Food conservation
has been emphasized by the use in
arithmetic of problems dealing with
footproduction in different countries.
how this production is conserved and
transported to our allies, what small
savings by different states and by in
dividuals will do toward helping to
provide our soldiers with food, what
value there is in having people in the
United States make substitutes for
food necessary to the soldier and food
that can be conserved and transported
most advantageously. The upper grade
children are now using a book on
food problems which has been pub
lished since March /. Thus, as
patriotism is being taught, arithmetic
is being vitalized.
Mrs. Farnsworth, now in the en-
ploy of the government, cooperating
with the school, has organized a de-
partment in each district for teach
ing mothers how to select, buy and
prepare food in the most economical
way; how to conserve by canning.

recipes, sugar-saving recipes and

schools have all sorts of plans for

volunteered for farm work during the
summer. These boys have prepared
themselves through the study of farm
implements, caring for horses and
study in general agriculture. Some

True patriotism is not a senti-
nent. 1t is not theory--it is a
practice. The public schools of Om-
aha recognize that worthwhile pa
triotism finds its expression in SER
vice. To quote President wilson:
"We must all speak, act and serve to-
gether." The school places the en-
phasis on active patriotism. Every
child and every teacher are made
to feel that ones personal obligation
to his country is in doing something.
1t is our purpose to teach the child
the lesson OF service in the plastic
period of his life so that service may
become with him a habit

Junior Red Cross.
Under the war council OF the
United States the children of the
United States were invited TO be-
come members OF the Junior Red
Cross. The membership was made
possible through the payment OF Is
cents, service in war work, or both.
The membership fee seems small, but
If every school district in the United
States did as we'll as Omaha, the
Junior Red Cross would add $780,
900 to its treasury, for there are about
22000,000 school children in the
United Stats. Every school in Om-
aha has school auxiliary. The
manual training period in the ele-
nentary school is practically turned
over to Red Cross work under the
careful direction OF Miss Helen
Thompson. More than $1,000 articles
have been made by school children
such as babies booties, comforts,
caps, towels. bed socks, surgical
dressings and other hospital supplies.

It has been calculated that there oc-

the minor earthquakes. In fact, our
so-called firm earth can be said to be
in state Of perpetual agitation. Our

DON'T WASH EGGS.

"Grocers receiving eggs they ex-
pect to keep fresh on hand any
length Of time should not wash them
even if they are dirty" says the Food
Administration. "The dirt is wholly
on the outside and only affects the
appearance of the egg. The shell OF
an egg contains gelatinous sub
stance which prevents air and germs
from entering the eggs. Washing de-
stroys this substance.
"Many customers will not buy soil
ed eggs, but it is desirable that the
grocer should explain these facts to
his patrons. The public has been
trained to demand and buy clean eggs.
It should be remembered that dirty
eggs, while not pleasing to the eye,
are often the better. According to
the Department Of Agriculture, more
than five million eggs spoil unnec-
essarily in cold storage every year
because they have been washed OF
have in some way become wet before
being sent to market"

BAR WAY TO EVIL SPIRITS
MaIaysians Believe Mountains Were
Placed to Shut Out Strange
Race Of YajuJ.

In the dak bungalow at Kwala Kubu
Tin Malayasia) the Chinafoy chowki-
dar, queue in pocket, shod in shoes Of
silent felt, served my breakfast. I was
at last on the threshold of a strange
expedition in a land to which no letter
ever came correctly addressed, so un-
known was it to the outside world. At
this moment the strangest thing in
sight was my breakfast. 1t consisted
chiefly of tins of tiny M0pgolIan fipches
-humming birds In size, squads in
taste-canped Q dozen in tin.
AS devoured the pitiful little birds,
bones and all, I looked up at the
great Malay mountain range, the back
bone of the finger peninsula which
stretches southwark from Siam to
within sight of the bund of Singapore
itself. Mountains, so the Malays say,
are the wall Of the world, shutting out
great winds and beasts of prey. And
they believe that strange race-the
Yajuj-are forever striving to bore
through, and when they succeed, then
will come the end of all things.
The great limestone caves scattered
throughout the mountains are places
where the Yajuj have attempted and
failed. There is nothing impossible or
unbelievable in all this, when one
comes to know Malay mountains in
all their weirdness.-William Beebe, In
the Atlantic Monthly.
