THE ART OF JexEFY IsRAELs.
by Bessie L:aub, Louisville. Ky.


Long before the violation of Belgian
neutrality, lopg before the heart of
the world had been broken by the
atrocities of the Hun, Jozefy Israels.
Il great Dutch painter with touch
that slows and thrills vividly pictur-
ed the suffering and misery of the
peasant. A Hollander, he was, but
his art is universal, belonging to all
times, to all countries. a splendid
technician with tender sense of pity
for all down-trodden humanity that
must have been inherited from his He
brew ancestors. Ali that is beautiful in
Judaism seems to have been the foun-
dation OF the art of Jozefy IsraelS. The
MUSICAL rhymth of the psalms, the
pOignaucy and wisdom OF the proverbs
Eliminates his canvascs with Il cclcs-
tial beauty aud depth of feeling that
is amazing.
Just before the war ! spent some
time III Holland studying old Dutch
mastcr pieces. One afternoon by
ehance l strolled over to the Rijismu-
scum to have another look at a favor
ite Franc Halls, but as l entered the
large hall noticed II tail white haired
old man standing in front of an easel
sketching the most exquisite painting
Imaginable, l never looked for the

that I was introduced to one of the
most delightful painters.
\ little old woman, with face buried
in hands, sits weeping At the bedside
of her dying husband. You can al
most see her shake and tremble so pro
found is her grief. Never have I seen
u more artistic handling. Deep shad-
ows such as Rembrandt used, delicate
sympathy found usually in poetry en-
chants; and captivates.
This wonderful painting inspired me
to search for other Israels of which
there are many in Holland. Especial
ly magnificent is one of an old Jewish
pedtller sitting before his door. Again
it is the purely artistic conception that
shows the artists master power. and
for those loving that old. almost OBJ

AIDING the Labor Supply.

The departments Of agriculture and
labor through representatives Of the
various states cooperating with the
agricultural colleges and other agen-
cies are doing the following things to
aid the farm labor supply, according
to a recent statement Of Secretary
Houston: (a) Making survey Of the
farm-labor situation in each COM
munity with a view to discovering
possible SURPRISES of labor in order to
be ready to assist in furnishing labor
wherever it is needed; (b) assisting
again in shifting labor from COM
munity to community and from state
to state, as in past years; (c) pro-
noting fuller cooperation among
farmers In the same community; (d)
making available, so far as possible,
high school boys In rural districts who
have had experience in farming and
who are not normally regularly or
fully employed In farming operations;
(e) making every effort to see that
there is no obstacle in the way Of the
production Of a larger supply Of farm
machinery and its fuller use as a
supplement to hand labor.

To Spend Fifty Millions
For Workers Homes

of the work in building a single house,
as anyone who has paid the bills will
know, consists in saving, cutting, and
fitting the material.
Everything Cut to Fit.
With standardization of every pos
sible item, most Of this cutting and
fitting will be done in factories and
the material shipped ready to be put
together by carpenters and plumbers.
Second, the cost Of housing an indi-
vidual was reduced to a most reason
able figure. II is still too early to
give totals in dollars and cents, but
present estimates indicate that the in
veStment In these community homes
for single workers will not exceed $3.50
per man this including living quarters,
baths, community lounges for each
club of % men, kitchen and mess-hall
facilities, heating and llghting-every-
thing. If all the housing appropfa-
ton for shipworkers were spent on
these community dwellings homes
would be provided for about 125.0O0
men, or nearly one-third the whole
emergency shipbulldlng army.
But many OF the new shipworkers
will be married men with families, and
for them separate dwellings are being
built. Something like so types Of FIVE,
six, and seven room cottages have been

.Mho Cares Il Bones Achs1p

Thousands Of women in all parts of
the country are volunteering to help
out on farms that will be short of
man power this season. The letter
which follows is typical of many
which are coming to the United
States department of agriculture. De-
partment officials do not believe that
women will be required In the heavier
farming operations, but in the lighter
labor on fruit and truck farms and in
helping farm women with their tasks
there will be work for women hands.
IT want to inquire where can vol
unteer my services in the agricultural
labor for my country's service. I
know this work is just as important
as fighting, and as I was raised in the
country and can drive horse and am
familiar with all the rounds Of farm
life, I feel / would soon qualify. My
husband is now doing his bit aboard
a transport.
Napoleon is quoted as saying, "A
man fights on his stomach so would
like to work to enable our men to be-
come good fighters. The German Bis
marck in his world plans once said:
America is fine fat pig to be stuck
later So l guess the kaiser thought.
I would even enjoy helping raise some
American fat pigs to defeat them In
their designs.
Hoping you answer quickly and tell
me where 1 can enlist my services, ]
remain. Very sincerely,

France, during the early days of Au-
gust, 1914
A painter, Guidand de Scevola, at
tached to a battery near the Lorraine
city as an ordinary artilleryman,
soon found his battery was a land
mark and open target for the German
gunners. One night, with a comrade,
he constructed some papier mache
rocks and painted them with a dash
Of green, representing herbs and TO
liage, and they were installed over the
battery.
The peppering of their battery
ceased from that day. The painters
ruse Yves reported to General Castel-
nau, In command Of the sector, who
passed the word along to M. Rene
Viviani, then minister Of war. The
war minister Immediately ordered the
creation OF a special section of the
army whose entire duties were to be
those of "camoufleurs," or concealers.
De Scevola was placed in charge Of
the work and called to his aid other
painters who had been modified in
the army in some cases as ordinary
privates in the infantry or in the
service corps.
Many Now in the Work.
"Camoufage" spread until today the
section has over 1000 men, artists.
scene painters, engineers, etc. The Of
fetal figures show that camoufiaged
batteries have operated in compare
tive safety, only four per cent Of their
having been put out of ac-
ton by direct fire as opposed to so per
cent of batteries where the guns had
not been painted or otherwise con-
cealed.
One of the most notable works Of
the "camoufeurs" was the erection of
a hollow, appropriated wooden strue-
ture 800 feet from the German lines,

CAMOUFLAGE WAS PUZZLE TO HUNS

painted to represent tree that stood
between the French and German front
lines In the Champagne region.
The French had been operating at
decided disadvantage, as the Ger
mans held the high ground from which
they could carry out their observa-
tons at ease. The commandant no.
ticed the tree that had been swept
clean of It's branches and foliage
through shell and machine gun fire.
AT night he called in his camoufage
squad and confded a plan to them.
A week later a squad of sappers
crept out on dark night and dug
a ditch on the French side Of the
tree. The trunk was attacked from
beneath the ground by saws that had
been literally dosed with oil and cut
away. Long, steel-tipped peevies such
as the Main lumbermen carry, eased
1t to the ground, where it fell into the
ditch.
The armor-plated shell was set up
in its place and two French observers
climbed up inside cf it. The next
morning the only thing the Germans
could see was the old familiar land
scape with-the battle-scarred tree.
Puzzled the Huns.
Pieces of shrapnel might whistle by.
Machine gun bullets might rain on
the trunk as before. Only direct
hit from shell Of larger caliber
could demolish 1t and there was no
reason for changing the range of the
guns to demolish a trunk that stood
in No Mans Land and 300 feet from
the French lines. Chance alone would
destroy the post.
From their telephones in the OBJ
servatOry the French scouts reported
all going on behind the German lines,
regulated the fire of their big guns
and told what effect the shells had.
The puzzled Huns suddenly found six
inchers exploding in their depots.
Their communicating trenches were
peppered with an accuracy that could
only come from directed fire, but the
innocent-appearing trunk was not sus-
pected until one night a patrol investi-
gated 1t. Next day shells burst all
around It until one finally toppled It
over, but the trunk had served its pur-
pose, and camouf1age had turned
trick for its originators.

at least sufficient skill to be acceptable
Ascertain If Needed.


Before training the volunteers some
method should be devised for ascer-
tanning whether there is a demand for
the woman workers in the kind Of
work they are preparing to undertake.
This information could be obtained
from the state agricultural college and
the state farm help specialist EN-
ployed by this department. Great
care should be exercised not to pre-
pare women to 60 on farms before
there is an actual demand for their
labor.
After completing the training, the
women should not be sent into the
localities where they are TO work until
some one has preceded them to make
arrangements for their housing and
to determine the basis of wages, etc.
In most instances the living quarters
would consist of camping outfit, as
such quarters as they might obtain in
the community would be the least de-
sirable Of those in the community.
Generally 1t would be desirable to have
one person in the group who would do
no farm work, but would act as gen.
eral chaperon and inatron and would
see to the domestic phases Of their
living and welfare. n..n,

Make EarmInu a RusIneas.

A young man who is now starting to
farm needs to know his business.
Through farm management demon
stratiOns the county agent can show
him his labor income, that is, what
he had left Of his receipts after paying
expenses and allowing for interest on
the investment and can show him
how his labor income compares with
those Of the most successful farmers
in that community. The showing win
help him make a study of his farm
business and to determine upon
changes that should be made to make
it more profitable.

studied and reduced to standards In
the same way. Everything Is calcu-
lated for quick, economical. durable
construction. Each separate dwelling
will have its bathroom, heating, light
ing, and kitchen equipment More
over great pains have been taken to
avoid any appearances Of standardiza-
ton or monotOny In exterior design.
Only the materials and inside ap-
pointments have been reduced to
standards while exterior lines and or
nament may be modified according to
local conditions to secure individuality
and beauty. That is not all.
The plans have been drawn for these
individual family cottages with the
idea of permanenee. In so far as pos
sible, they VIII be erected at shipyard
sites which are fairly certain to be per-
manent. Single men are free to move
to temporary employment for the war
and dispense If shipyards are aban-
doned when peace comes. Married
men with families cannot do this, Of
course, so they win be assigned to the
permanent yards as fast as possible
with the expectation that they may
live there for years.
The plans take into account not only
the provision Of homes for them when
they are shifted into shipbuilding to-
meet the war emergency, but the pur-
chase of their own homes on INSTALL
ment payments equivalent to rent If
they feel that the new locality is a
suitable one in which to work and live,
and bring up a family.
Present estimates indicate that the
family houses can be erected for con-
slderably less than $4,000 each. This
does not include the cost Of land, nor
has that been figured In the building
of community houses for single men.
The major part Of this great build
ing program will have been completed
by the list Of July, Some idea of its
magnitude may be given by COMPARE
son with other building operations. On
peace time basis an equal invest
ment would build five Woolworth
buildings or two Equitable buildings.
Hearing for All Corners.
Naturally, the magnitude Of a build
ing program like that and the prompt
ness with which it must be carried
out appeals to the imagination not only
of the shipyard workers who are to
live in these dwellings and the Ameri-
can citizens who are interested in
them as part of our war program, but
to many persons who wish to assist
with advice, plans, inventions, and
special schemes and devices for speed
ing up the job. To the offices where
this program is being carefully laid
out have come in the past few weeks
men with all sorts of proposals for
the building of houses and dormitories
In record time, and Of many kinds OF
emergency materials and construction.
Those having the project in hand have
given a hearing to all Corners, and
moreover, gone afield themselves to in
vestigate promising new methods. In
the end, however, as the outcome of
careful investigation and plans, these
shipyard dwellings will be erected
pretty much on standard lines of tried
and proven materials with all elements
of speed and economy centered in
Standardization of materials and large
scale building by well-equipped con-
tractors with capable organizations.
