TROOPS Is
 NO SMALL JOB

To maintain the American army in France 100 pounds of gross tonnage a day must be landed at French ports for each man.
 "The American people have no con- ception of the quantity of supplies needed for the men lover there,'" said Captain Zimmerman, "nor of the diff ficulty in getting it to them. For ex- ample it takes 23,OOO,OOO pounds of frozen beef each month to feed a mil lion soldiers.
 In explaining the food supply of the American soldiers abroad and the manner in which it must be sent, Cap tain Zimmerman gave a general pie ture of the difficulties of the quarter masters corps in constantly maintain ing sufficient quantity of food.
 According to his statements, the men in France are on a garrison ra- tion"-the same as soldiers at canton ments in this country. This ration is five pounds a man each day. This weight, however, includes eating utensils and container. For a million men 150,OOO,OOO pounds of rations a month will be required,
 A list of the food required for a million men for 30 days would include the following:
 pounds of frozen beef. 38,500,000 pounds of flour.
 6,000,000 pounds of bacon.
 100000 cans of beef.
 100000 cans of corned beef.
 100000 cans corned beef hash.
 3,0O0,000 pounds ol coffee.
 972,000 pounds of butter.
 At all times, Captain Zimmerman said, 3e-day supply is'maintained in France.

VERDE WOMAN, 83,
 Is DOING HER BIT.

Camp Verde boasts 9 very high pe-- centage of loyal, patriotic American citizens, and each one feels that he has an all important part in this great war for democracy. The Red Cross chapter has been doing such commendable work here, especially one of the members, Mrs. Mary E. Reid, is deserving of great credit. Mrs. Reid, more familiarly known as Grandma Reid," has knitted II pairs of sox for the soldiers since last Oc- tober. She had finished them by the first of February and during that time was seriously i'll and unable to do any thing for seven weeks.
 Few people in Yavapai county need an introduction to Grandma, as she is so well known, but for the benefit of those who have not met her, let me add short sketch of her life.
 Grandma will be S3 years old in May of this year. She is the mother of 13 children-six of whom are living. She has had A grandchildren, 46 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren. There are few people living who can boast such record.
 Grandma realizes the seriousness of war, too, as she lost two brothers and several cousins in the Civil war. Then, as now, she did her bit by knit ting for those who were called to fight.-Prescott Journal-MCiner.

SALUTE THE FLAG

Off with your hat as the flag goes by And let the heart have it's say; You're man enough for tear in youl
 eye
 That you will not wipe away. You're man enough for a thrill that
 goes
 To your very finger tips; Aye, the lump just then in your
 throat that arose
 Spoke more than your parted lips. Lift up your boy to your shoulder high,
 And show him the faded shred Those stripes would be red as the
 sunset sky
 If death could have dyed them red. The old tune thunders through all air, And strikes right into your heart; If ever it calls for you, boy, be there! Be there and ready to start. Off with your hats as the flag goes by Uncover the youngsters head! Teach him to hold it holy and high, For the sake of it's sacred dead.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

One who subscribes for a liberty bond and gets credit as a patriot for doing so is not acting periodically if he immediately sells that bond, but is, unless he imperatively needs the money, says Secretary McAdoo. It is not the mere subscription that helps the government, it is the actual loan; shifting the bond to some one else does not help.
 Secretary McAdoo expressly states that there is no desire on the part of the government to prevent or interfere with legitimate trading, in good faith, in liberty bonds.
 It is one of the great objects of the treasury department to have these bonds held as permanent investments by the people and paid for out of sav- ings, thus at once providing funds for the government and conserving labor and material.
 There are the soundest reasons for holding liberty bonds. Their quota tions under par on the stock exchange means a loss only to those who sell. The tremendous growth of our re- sources and of our trade, our domes- tic trade alone having increased from S30,000,OO0,00O to $64,OO0,OO0,OO0 in the last four years, warrants the be- lief that our government bonds are the soundest investment in the world and with the restoration of peace con ditions will command a handsome pre- mium in the market.

THE PRESIDENT AND
 THE CHANCELLOR

President Wilson in his address to congress on February Il said:
 "The method the German chancellor proposes is the method of the congress of Vienna. We cannot and will not return to that. Is it possible that Count Won Hertling does not see that does not grasp it, is in fact living in his thought in a world dead and gone?"
 Count Von Hertling in his address to the Reichstag on February 26 re- torts as follows:
 President Wilson, who reproaches the German chancellor with a certain amount of backwardness, seems to me in his view of ideas to have hurried far Tn advance of existing realities"
 These two quotations. illustrate the difference between the American and the German standpoint.
 America does demand something be- yong the existing realities that Ger many has created-demands a better day, the observance of the rules of civ- ization, an honorable rule of national conduct, freedom and justice to small nations, to all peoples, which do not exist today because of German kultur.
 The difference between the two pos itions is the difference between a fu- ture safe and free and just, and a past cruel, unjust, treacherous and tyran- nous, the difference between American ideals and practice and German kultur and atrocities.

CAROLINE NEUBER.

Caroline Neuber was born in 1892, the daughter of a German lawyer, who was very strict with her. In her fifteenth year she ran away with a student, Neuber, whom she later married. They organized a strolling group of actors, with the young wo- man at their head. She made laws for the troup and introduced better morals among it's members. In 1726 she received royal permission to per form in Dresden and Leipsic where she revived ancient German plays. After the death of King Augustus, in 1793, she went to Hamburg, but re- turned to Leipsic again in 1737, to reform the stage in conjunction with the celebrated author Gottsched. Her fame spread all over the continent. After that she travelled for several years and on returning to Leipsic quarrelled with Ter benefactor, Gott-
 sched, going so far as to burlesque him on the stage. From that time fortune forsook her; she was com pelled to disband the troup, and died in great poverty near Dresden in 1760.

Do You Know the Beauty
 Way to Brush Your Hair?
By LucreZia BOri
(The Famous Spanish Prima Donna.(

Why should the hair he brushed? :? There seem to be some conflicting opinions on the subject, so it's worth while giving a little attention. For unless the hair is properly brushed, woman's crowning glory soon loses its wealth and lustre.
 Some women use the brush as though they expected it to smooth the hair and untangle it. This is by no means its function. The comb is used for the purpose of untangling the strands and to get the hair ready for the treatment of the brush.
 The comb should never be used with a swing from the roots to the ends of the hair. That method of combing pulls the hair out and needlessly irritates the scalp. Begin at the tips of the hair, combing 8 few inches at a time, until gradually reaching the scalp. Then it is easy to comb through the hair from scalp to ends, without breaking or remov- ing any hairs by force.
 Having untangled the hair, it is now ready for the brush. The pur- pose of brushing Is simply to distri- bute evenly throughout the whole whole length of the hair the natural \ oils. Healthy, beautiful hair is the hair that has a lustre given by it's own oils.
 Each individual hair of the head is fabricated by the secretion of one or more small oil glands which open Into the channel through which 1t passes to the surface of the skin. Now, it is the oil which gives bril- liancy to the hair, but in order that all the hair of the head-not simply that which Is nearest the oil glands receive this lustre, it is necessary to spread the lubricant throughout the entire hair.
 The Proper Way. This is the function of brushing. The brush also helps to sweep out of the hair any bits of dust and dirt that adhere to it. But if you would
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-06

get full benefit from the natural hair oils which are in all healthy hair, then you must follow a regular method of brushing.
 Begin with one side of the brush, holding the back toward the direc- tion in which the hair is being brush ed. In other words, if the hair on the right side of the head is being dressed, first hold the brush with it's back toward the right, In this way the scalp will not be irritated by the bristles. When the brush is a little distance from the head, spread 1t flat down on the hair and finally draw the hair ends through the other side of the brush.
 Some Hair Aids.
 By continuing this regularly, the whole length of the hair is adequately brushed, and thus all parts receive the same even spread of il that inn parts a complete iustre to the hair.
 If the hair hasn't sufficient natural oil, some preparation for the purpose may be applied and brushed into the hair. Here is one:
 1 dram essence cologne
 drams odorless castor oil
 1 ounce rectif1ed spirit.
 These should be we'll mixed ,ottled and kept corked tightly until desired for use. Another wholesome oil for the hair is the following:
 Mix together equal parts of al-
 mond oil and lime water, and add
 five drops of oil of lemon to
 each ounce for scent. If oil of
 lemon isn't a favorite scent, use
 oil of orange flower or oil of yer
 bena.
 A good way to spread these creams into the hair is to pour a &ew drops into the palm of the hand, to dip the end of the brush into it, and then to brush the hair we'll. Don't pour the oils directly on the hair as the oil will soak into one spot excessively and make it impossible to spread ad- equately.

GARMENT. MAKING BY THE RED
 CROSS

The garment cutting department of the Atlantic division of the Red Cross has it's own little trials. Its particu- lar job is to supply with garments cut out and assembled all the Red Cross chapters in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut as fast as those chapters send in calls for materials. And that is no easy task.
 The amount of work required to keep up with the demand is. enormous. Recently in one week, more than 65,- 900 yards of material were cut into 1,60O dozen garments. To accom- plish this the Red Cross has turned it. self into factory, and highly trained workers manipulating the most eff1- cient kinds of machines make that out put possible.
 Between the workroom partitions are tables 90 feet long over which on trolleys suspended from the ceiling run various electric machines, explains the Electrical Experimenter. One of them is for spreading the material, one for making stencils as long as the table and another for actual cutting.
 HIS lcoI 4AcAS IO OO 5d1OON WILL LII less care. It is fitted with revolv- ing knife razor so sharp that it will cut through 260 layers of heavy ma terial as easily as through one. A single slip therefore, on the worker S part, an instant's inattention, would be costly thing.
 The stenciling machines, which have little wheels with red hot points for burning holes in paper, are time savers. In order that there shall be the least possible waste of material the patterns have to be fitted into each other with the intricacy of a clev- CT picture puzzle. To do this down the length of a 90-foot table takes an expert worker over four hours; where once a stencil has been cut and un- trained person can mark the same amount of material in Is minutes.
 The department, which has been in operation only a short time, has un- til lately confined itself to cutting hos pital garments. Recently for the first time it undertook refugee gar ments as well. After devoting it's energies exclusively to these for six days it had on hand Q, sufficient stock of garments of 19 varieties and AT sizes to meet any orders which the chapters may send in.

HAS THE CHURCH FAILED?

At the United church, Sunday morn ing, Dr. William Horace Day is to discuss the important theme ''Is the Church Responsible for the Wreck of Civilization p At the beginning of the war, men said Christianity has failed" They discovered that was not true Bernard Shaw, Chesterton and host of others corrected the first accusation by saying Christianity has not failed because Christianity has not been tried. The blame for the col lapse of civilization was then placed at the door of the Church. Men said, Tt is not the fault of the Chris tian spirit, it is the fault of religious organization"
 After the morning sermon, the holy communion will be celebrated. 70 Saving Victim" by Tours, will be sung.
 The Community Forum sessions have been suspended for the summer months, subject to special announce ment by the president, MT. Shaw. It is now planned to open the regular sessions of the Forum for the winter the first Sunday in November.

THE HOME COMFORTABLE

Libraries and living rooms should have angles and niches, or as many out of the way places as possible. Where the plan of the room interferes sofas, bookcases and tables should be so arranged to produce them.
 Recesses are the charm of li- brary: they give that seclusion that the reader desires to enjoy when en- gagged in a good book. They pre- vent the necessity of joining the fam fly group around table or fire place. When financial conditions permit, care should be taken of the nautlepiece. This should be of dig nified proportions, without expensive. ornamentation, except, perhaps, by the way of carvings.
 The trellis is coming into favor again. A little summer breakfast room is wainscoated in white with a green

 Beans Are Easily and Cheaply Canned
 Judging from the amount of busi- ness handled at the Farmers Market on Wall street this morning, the Bridgeport housewives are assured of a wide choice of vegetables for their week end and Saturday menus. A plentiful supply of all kinds of sea- sonable vegetables could be purchas- ed at reasonable prices. Summer squash are coming in in increasing quantities and will soon be at a price suited to all pocketbooks. The quail itv handled this morning shows that
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-06

many squashes are picked in imma- ture condition to enjoy the top notch prices. A better quality product ought soon to be available.
 Cabbage is very plentiful now and the many ways in which this vege- table can be prepared ought to create a good demand for this product. Phy- sicians claim that cabbage is an ex- cellent tonic.
 The height of the season for green and wax beans is being rapidly ap- preached and they can now be pur- chased very reasonably. Ask your dealer for special prices on canning quantities.
 Black cap raspberries made their first appearance this morning and were costing the retailer 16-17c a pint basket. New potatoes are apparent ly holding their own at $6-$6.50 for a good product Norfolks and s7.5o for Red Star Brand N. S. Grade No. 1.
