ONE OF THE HUNS LONG
RANGE GUNS DESTROYED
Germans Constructing New Emplace-
ments Indicating New
Guns Coming

Paris.-One of the three German
long-range guns which have been
bombarding Paris has been DESTROYED.
according to Deputy Charles Leboucu,
of the department of the Seine. The
deputy. said he had talked with the
general commanding the sector near
Creepy En- Laonnois, where the big
guns are stationed. The enemy, he
declared, is constructing new emplace-
ments.
GAS one of the deputies of Paris, ,"
said M. Leboucq, "I was anxious 70
assure myself personally with regard
to counter-attacking the cannon bonn
harding Paris. 1 went to see the gen
cral commanding a certain sector who
showed me photographs and gave me
all the information he had.
The photographs show that the
guns are placed exactly between
Creepy En- Laonnois station and the
ccounterforts./ Two spur lines start
from the station. On these the heavy
guns arc moved to the firing plat
forms.
"The first spur has branch leading
to platform which is still occupied
but the center platform is empty. Its
gun has been destroyed. Two more
spur lines are under construction
showing that further cannon are ex,
pected.
The emplacemcnt platform on
which the gun slides explains the reg
ularity of the direction of the firinp
which we undergo. At the moment of
firing ten heavy guns are fired bv a
special apparatus to canouflage the
sound of the big gun so its location
cannot be judged from the sound. At
the same time thick clouds of smoke
from surrounding heights protect the
gun from airDlane observation"

HERE'S A COOKER
VERY EASY TO MAKE
Used with Kerosene Stove as a
Starter, the Fireless Cooker Makes
Kitchen More Habitable-Saves
Fuel and Time-HOw to Make
1t and How to Use 1t

The fireless coker IS y warm
weather comfort in most any kitchen.
Used in conjunction with kerosene
stove it means not ONLY economv in
fuel but it makes the Kitchen more
habitahle place when the warm days
come.
Fireless cookers are now being
maize and used in hundreds of homes
~ town and country. What is more
pleasant to the housekeeper than to
put her dinner in the fireless cooker
before she goes to town or market and
to find it ready for serving when she
returns?
The fireless cooker offers several
advantages. The first is economy of
time, as the housekeeper may leave
the food cooking without Worrying
about the result while she is engaged
in other household duties or while She
is away from home. Some foods are
improved by long cooking at relatively
low temperature. The texture and
flavor of tougher cuts of meats, old,
tough fowls and ham are improved by
slow cooking. Cereals and dried le-
Gumes and dried fruits are more pala-
tahle and wholesome when cooked for
long time. Soups and stews are
delicious when cooked in the cooker
BAKING, however, can not be done very
conveniently and satisfactorily i'm the
ordinary homemade fireless cooker.
In some sections of the country
economy of fuel must be an important
consideration. The food for the cooker
may be started on wood or coal
range when the morning meal is being
prepared. The food to be cooked is
irst heated to boiling point on the
stove in the cooking vessel and then
!h's vessci, covered with tight lid,
Is quickly placed in the cooker where
she cooking continues. The cooker is
so constructed that the heat does not
escape. For long cooking it is neces-
Sary to place in the cooker under the
cooking vessel q hot radiator. A so1D-
stone IS the best ,diator and can be
purchased at most hardware stores at
~ cents. stove lid, a brick, or disk
made OF concrete, heated and placed in
'he cooker may serve as the radiator.
How to Make a Fireless Cooker
A tightly built box, an old trunk,
il galvanized iron ash can, candy
oucket, tin lard can, lard tub, and
il Dutter flrkin are some of the con-
tanners that have been used success
cookers.
The inside container or nest which
aolds the vessel of hot food NAV be q
bucket of agate, galvanized iron, or
tin. This nest must be deep enough
to hold the radiator and the vessel Of
food, but not large enough to leave
much space, as the air space will
cool the food. The inside container
must have a tight-fitting cover and
straight sides are desirable.
The packing or insulation must be
ct some material which is a poor con-
ductar of heat. The following mater
sais may be used and they should be
dry: Lint cotton, cotton-seed hulls

WHEN COOKING BY FIRELESS

Don't let the food or disks cool
before you put them in the fireless.
The food will not cook unless there
is enough heat shut up with it. Re-
heat the food that requires long cook
ing if it cools before it is finished.
Reheat the food before serving, if
necessary. A small quantity of food
cools quickly, so either use the disks
or put a small vessel containing the
food in the regular cooking vessel and
surround it with hot water.
Soapstonc disks will increase the
usefulness of your cooker. They can
be heated hotter than the boiling point
OF water and when shut up in the fire
less furnish heat which cooks the
food: If you made your firclcss ac
cording to directions, you can safely
use the disks. Heat them very hot,

wool, shredded newspapers, Spanish
moss, ground cork, hay, straw and ex-
celsior.
Sheet asbestos 1-8 inch thick and
heavy cardboard have proved to be
the best lining for the outer contain
er and the wrapping for the nest.
Heavy wrapping paper or several
sheets of newspaper may be used for
lining the outer container, but the
nest should be wrapped with asbestos
or heavy cardboard to prevent the hot
stone scorching or burning the pack
ing.
1t is well to have the outside con-
tainer large enough to permit inches
of packing below and around the
sides of the nest. If cooker is being
made with two nests, inches
of packing should be allowed between
the nests. Pack into the bottom of the
lined outer container inches of the
packing. Place the hest or inside con-
talner wrapped with asbestos or heavy
cardboard and hold steady while the
packing is put around tightly and
firmly until it reaches the top of the
nest.
Make a collar, as shown in illustra-
tion, of cardboard, sheet asbestos, or
wood to cover the exposed surface Of
the insulating material. This collar
should fit tightly.
Make cushion which when filled
with the packing will be at least a
inches thick and will fill completely
the space between the top of the nest
and the lid of the outside container.
1t should fit against the top tightly
enough to cause pressure when the
lid is closed.
The outside of the fireless cooker
can be made more attractive by stain
ing or painting it. The lid may be
held in place by screen-door hooks and
eyes. The cooker may be placed on
casters so that it can be easily moved.
