We have taken over great many man

There is one bakery in the center of
France from which we send out ev-
cry day fresh bread for 100000 men.
"Under disqualification we include
receiving and caring for the sick and
wounded evacuated from the front.
"In order to decentralize this indus
trial institution the zone Of operations
Is divided into nine sections-the adj
vance section in which the armies are
actually engaged, the intermediate Sec
ton, containing the great central por-
ton of France and seven base sections
which include the ports,
''The whole thing Is like great net
work. General Pershing has placed
the responsibility for its operation
upon General Harbord, the command
chief of staff. Associated with me are
about fifty general staff officers,
through whom all the activities Of the
s. o. S. are co-ordlnated. The balance
of the staff here consists of about L.
600 officers and 1900 enlisted men and
clerks.
"One Of the most important agencies
we have is the general purchasing
board, presided over by Col. Charles
Gates Dawes, formerly Of Chicago.
This board Is charged with the pur-
chase of all supplies that are obtained
in Europe, and also represents us in
co-ordlnating the supplies of the allies
in such way that there is no dupli-
cation among the great nations con-
cerned. In other words, we aim to
have unity Of supply at the rear in
the same way that we have unity Of

the department of labor. 1t Is esti-

ASTRIDE PLANE UPSIDE
DOWN; RIDES TO EARTH

London.-A British airman,
while flying at a height Of 1900
feet, had the tail of his machine I
shot off by direct hit from a
shell. The machine turned up
side down and the pilot was
thrown from his seat, but he
managed to Chamber onto the
bottom of the fusilage, on which
he remained astride.
Although the machine was
out of control, he managed, by
moving forward and backward,
to balance 1t and glide steadily
downward. Under a strong
anti-aircraft fire he crossed the
German lines successfully a few
hundred feet from the ground.
His machine came down with a
crash and he received some in
juries, but will recover.

tive as to be able to distinguish be-
tween vibrations caused by stone or
a piece of bread dropped in the water,
even at a distance Of twenty-five feet
or more.
The bones OF some fishes are OF a
cartillaginous nature and remain so all
their lives. In others the cartilage
hardens, or ossifies, as the fish attains
maturity. The vertebrate of the Deep
Sea Mystery is composed of cartillagin-
Gus plates which show the beginning

Such an animal would be of extremely

These and other details revealed by
the internal anatomy of the creature,

the creature is not a whale but a true
fish.
Whales are lung breathing, warm
FLOODED mammals that suckIe their
young, inhaling and exhaling air
through blow hole in the top OF the
head. The mouth is situated under the
head and the tail is terminated by a
horizontal fluke. Only one species of
whale has a dorsal fin. None of these
characteristics can be found in the
Deep Sea Mystery except the dorsal fin.
Its tail is vertical like that of other
fishes.

Along each. side of the monster can
be seen three lateral lines, which are
found in nearly all fishes. These lines

WONDERFUL MARINE EXHIBIT ON

Thompson's yacht at Captain Bennie
Edmundsons wharf, is the captain
marvellous marine exhibit, which is
considered by many who have seen it
to be one of the finest and most COM

Among the rare specimens are an
octopus, one of the most repulsive

VAST THRONGS FLOCK TO SEE
WEIRD DEEP SEA MYSTERY
CONSERvATIvELY ESTIMATED THAT EXHIBITION WILL
BE SEEN BY AT LEAST 10000 PEOPLE
WHILE HERE.

Not in recent years, perhaps has any
thing aroused such widespread interest
and discussion among all classes of
people in Pensacola as has this unique
exhibit. Undoubtedly it has attracted
more attention than anything of the
kind which ever came here before.
Many thousands Of visitors have
crowded the yacht since 1t has
been here and many have been so
profoundly impressed and have become
so intensely interested with what they
have seen that they have gone away
and have urged their friends not to
miss the opportunity to see the great
est geological wonder of all times.
On account of the wonderful amount
Of interest shown it is now conserv-
atively estimated that the exhibition
will be seen by at least ten thousand
people during the next few days. 1t
is now believed, In fact, that Pensacola
will almost equal Tampa's record,
where the fish was seen by many thou
sands of people.
Among the thousands who have al
ready seen the exhibit We're a number
from nearly towns, some of whom
came from a distance of fifty and sixty
miles away. Already the people of
other cities are beginning to make in
quiries and have urgently requested
Captain Thompson to include those
towns in his itinerary. The Captain now
has the matter under advisement and
Will announce his decision later in the
week

aboard Captain hompson's yacht who
explain the many facts of interest re-
garding the fish, Captain Thompson

Before / caught this monster off the

white shark, which sometimes atIains

that the whole body of a man clad in

Each Hen Should Produce
Ten Dozen Eggs Per Year.

The average novince can reasonably
expect to get an average of at least
ten dozen eggs per hen per year from
his small flock In the back yard. On
the basis Of two hens to each member
Of the family, according to the depart
ment Of agriculture, this will give 20
dozen eggs In a year to each person,
which amount Is about halfway be-
tween the general average Of farm and
city consumption. No back yard poul-
try keeper should be satisfied with less
ulan this. Every back yard poultry
keeper should try to get as much more
as possible.
To provide an egg a day for each
person. two hens would have to lay
1873 eggs each per year. This Is by no
means an impossible average for small
1ocks. It Is perhaps not too much 70
say that In cases where the person at
tending the flock Is practically "on
the Job" all the time. that Is. in posi-
tion to look after the wants Of the

With all the facilities for raising

July the Hottest
Month -
August Is Often a Close Sec
ond With Extreme Heat

Throughout the northern hemisphere
July Is recognized as the warmest
month Of the year, though August is
often q close second and has many
days Of extreme heat. This heated
term in July continues, notwithstand-
Ing the sun has begun it's course Of re-
cession from the Tropic of Cancer.
July was originally the. fifth month
Of the Roman year and for that reason
bore the name "Quintilis" In the
Alban calendar 1t had SO days. ROmu-
lus reduced 1t to 81 and Numa to 80
days. So it stood for several centuries.
1t was restored to 81 days by julius
Caesar. who felt personal interest
In Quintilis, as it was his birth month.
After the death of Caesar, who had
largely reformed the calendar, Mark
Anthony changed the name to July In
honor Of the family Of Caesar. 1t is
said this month was selected for this
distinction when the sun was most pO-
tent to denote that julius was the en-
peror Of the world and therefore the
appropriate leader Of one-half Of the
year."
The Saxons called July the "hay
month" because the hay was usually
moved in that month. They also call
ed 1t the "mead or meadow month"
from the meads being then in, bloom.

How to Select Ideal Camp

When you make your camp, pick out
"A rise Of ground where there is good
drainage. and where the trees are not
too thick, for good circulation Of air

+; Scouts Magazine. Avoid large soft
wood trees such as cottonwood, poplar
and soft maple, as the limbs break OF
easily in a storm and a big branch
might come crashing down on your
tent and seriously injure the occupants.
Good campers do not pitch their tents
directly under large oak. elm, ash or
hard naples, as those trees are most

rank grass, for that Is sign Of exces-
sive moisture. Never pitch camp In
narrow ravines or gullies, for frequent
ly in sudden storms they carry small

your camp.
