JEWELRY
Land Girls Winter Outfit.

The land girls winter OUTFIT has been
exercising the attention Of the Lon
don ladies' taiors, Throughout the
summer months the girl who works on
the land has presented very smart
appearance In her fresh white tunic
and knee breeches OF khaki drill. The
coming colder weather however, de-
mands something more substantial
than drill, and the land suit OF khaki
corduroy Is the latest vogue In agrl-
cultural uniforms. Pockets except AS
a decoration, have played very minor
part In feminine fashions for some
years now, but the lullOrs report that
the land girls insist upon full equip
pent of big wOrkmnnllke pockets in
breeches and tunics. The women war
workers are very particular about the
cut Of their uniforms and the outfits
now being turned out by the tailors,
In perfection of Workmanship and fin
:sh, compare very wei with the most
expensive creations of fashion.

Little Old Boehe, Seemingly so Gentle

SnaiIs In AquarIums.

A large glass tank is not necessary
for house aquarium, says Boys Life.
Small inexpensive glass boxes that
make desirable indoor aQuaria, as well
as glass tubs and jars, may be OBJ
tanned from dealers.
DO not buy glass globe for an
aquarium. These give distorted view
OF the contents and are evidently I'M
comfortable for their animal inmates.
Goldfish are pretty and interesting,
but they are common In such globes
and not enough can be learned from
them by the average student Of ma
ture. Fit up the aquarium as if you
intended it for goldfish, then get some
thing else.
You can catch many things, but do
not put too many into one aquarium.
One of the most interesting aquatic
animals is the common water snail.
These are ordinarily kept in gold
fish aquaria as scavengers, to clean
up the debris and take off the green
material that grows on the sides Of
the glass. Most people think Of snails
as aids in keeping the aquarium clean,
but they are In themselves real objects
Of interest.

FOOD H0kRDERS IN TROUBLE
Mr.. B. z. Ant and Mrs. Camel Called
On for Explanations as to Per.
nicicus Activity.

Mr.. b. Y. Ant, n well-known citizen
Of this community, was arrested at his
home last night on orders of thd
food administrator and charged with
boarding food A large quantity Of
bread crumbs and other high-priced
toodstuffs were found in the basement
OF Mr.. Ants home. The discovery is
somewhat of a surprise as Mr. Ant
has always borne an excellent reputa-
ton for industry; in fact the proverb
Go to the Ant, thou Sluggard," so
often used was originally written
about a direct ancestor of Mr.. Ant
Witnesses testified that they had
seen Mr.. Ant on many occasions car
rying food to his home and 1t is
thought he has gone so far as to enlist
the aid Of his friends and relatives
In carrying food. Enough edlbles to
last all winter were found at the Ant
home.
Mr.. Ant is unable to give any salts
factory explanation Of his offense ex-
cept that some unseen force compelled
him to store the food away as he
would need It later on. He denies
vigorously that he intended to hold it
for higher prices His case is being
considered by the food administra-
tor.
This is the second arrest made by
food officials in this neighborhood re-

guilty Of violating the food regulation
regarding the boarding Of fat. Other
arrests are likely to follow.-"Bugtown

Aerial Compasses,

Many difficulties had to be over
come in the production of a satisfac-
tory compass for aerial work. Chief
among these was that of neutralzing
the magnetism Of the engine (and in
particular the magneto), and of pre-
venting the effect of centrifugal force,
which caused the card or dial inside
the compass to swing in a direction
quite independent Of north when the
airplane was banking on a turn How
ever, truly excellent compass is now

government-the acquisition of about four fifths of the total steel output for military needs and the restriction of crude rubber imports for 1918 to about 100000 tons-have only served to make a year-old problem more difficult of solution as far as the automobile manufacturer and the maker of parts and equipment are concerned.
 Ut is not difficult to explain this un- precedented shortage of raw materials, either past or present, if you apply geography to the problem" said George NJ. Dickson, of Indianapolis, and one of try. For you will find that the pro- ducts entering into the manufacture of an automobile come from all parts of the world.
 After fixing the widely scattered sources of supply, these additional facts must be taken into consideration. Sev- eral of the countries that formerly pro- duced automobile material including France, Belgium, Germany and Austria are now exclusively engaged in the business of war, a war that has en- slaved their miners and metallurgists in the trenches and dealt a deathblow to their international trade.

TRIP FROM KANSAS . CITY ID COAST BY
 MOTOR NOT COSTLY

Shipyards workers, anxious to profit by the wave of prosperity sweeping over coast cities, and who find moving out here from the middle west expen- sive might profit by the experience of George Morris and three friends of Topeka, who came west last week to work in one of the big plants around San Francisco bay.
 According to Morris figures-and he made it point to keep tab on every cent spent-it cost just $32.245 for each member of the party from the time Kansas City was left until Oakland was reached. Needless to say, the trip was not made by train, but in a mod ern automobile. And it didn't take long time either, for eight days after the party left home it had checked in at it's destination.
 The figures compiled by Morris, and sent to Brown Dryer Motor company, local Chevrolet dealers, show what can he accomplished in a cross country run. Here are a few of the facts:
 Car used. Chevrolet 490 touring model.
 Distance travelled. 2.140 miles.
 Total expense, s12S.9S (s32.245 per person..
 Time on road. eight days.
 Total repair items. one spring bolt.
 Actual running time, 91 hours.
 Gasoline average, 22.6 miles to the gallon.
 Running time average, 23.51 miles per hour
 Figured any way you like. our trip | from Topeka to the coast was profit able" said Morris. Had we taken a train, the very lease we could have gotten off with would have been an ex- pense of sS5 each. Of course, we would have saved four days time, but we figured our time on the road as lost. For one thing, we had a real chance to see some of the grand old United States, and the country travelled through more than repaid us. Then again it was real outing for all of us, and we feel it added to our efficiency as workmen on our new jobs.
 We did not try especially for an economy record, but from the very start we kept tab on every single item Of expense, including gasoline, repairs meals, lodgings, running time, distance and every other little feature of the run. The results surprised us, fol aside rom spring bolt which came to grleI through very bad bump we old not nave so much as a puncture tc put down on the repair record. We can all certainly recommend auto. mobile travel to every one making Z cross country run. Needless to say. oul experience with the "490' Cheyrole makes us think it is the only car 1T the business.

AUTO MAKERS HAVE
 LOVELY TIME WHEN

If he were not a 100 per cent patriot the American automobile manufacturer would find it easy to sympathize with the war lords of Germany who have been driven to such desperate measures by the shortage of raw materials that they now have seized all the metal door knobs in the krazed kaisers king dom for use in the making of ammuni- ton.
 For the maker of motor cars is hay ing his own troubles in getting the ma terials he needs for even a curtailed production The situation was never as acute as it is today, although the auto mobile manufacturer felt the pinch of war boot long before Uncle Sam made his epochal and sacred covenant to win or die with the allies in their fight for world democracy.
