SCIENTISTS AIDING IN WAR
Experts Have Found a New Work In
Which They Are Materially AS
sisting the Government.

Secretary of the Interior Lane, in his
recent annual report, portrays the
transition of a peaceful democracy
into a nation organized for war. Pos
session of resources alone, he warns
the country, does not win wars, and
%recounting the enormous progress
made on every hand, declares the phys
ical resources of the United States are
almost completely at the command of
the worlds needs.
"'What can you do to serve meT"
quotes the secretary, replying: "The
answer of this department is that ii
has put every agency and activity
which it has at the service of those
departments more directly concerned
with war-making.
"Our men of scientific knowledge
metallurgists. chemists, engineers,
typographers-have found new work
at their hands.
"The patent Office has been searched
for new devices that could be brought
into use to kill the submarine Or limit
it's destructiveness, for the plans of
heretofore unused lethal weapons and
for the formulate of improved or un-
known sources of power.
"The scientific bureau of the gov
eminent found themselves converted
overnight into adjunets and auxil-
iaries in the great international con-
test. Men who had regarded them
selves as modestly useful only in the
discovering and revealing of new
sources of material strength found
that their years of experience in the
mountains and on the desert, in lab
o~ratories and in mines, called them at
once into the thick of the European
struggle"

Battle.

On October 10, 1853, Nat Langham
defeated Tom Sayers in 81 rounds at
Lakenheath, England. Sayers was
then at the commencement of his ring
career, and, although much smaller
than his opponent, he showed remark
able grit and endurance. Langham
soon disappeared from ring annals,
but within four years Sayers fought
his way to the championship, defeat
ing Perry the 'Tipton Slasher" for the
big title. Sayers held the belt for
three years, retiring from the ring i'm
mediately after his bout with John
Hessian, the American heavyweight,
In which he was saved from defeat
only by official interference. Sayers
was small for a heavyweight, but was
speedy and scientific, and able to land
a powerful punch.

rAvURS AN AMATEUR BUGLER
FIatdweller Prefers Distressing Noise
Made by Cornet Tooter to Man
Who YelIs Murder" in Sleep.

"We lived once" said Mr.. Flatdwell-
er, ain the same house with an anna
teur cornet player; and we thought
then that If we ever got out of that
house we should be happy. II didn't
seem as if we could ever have, In any
other place, so d~istressful u neigh
Dor.
But in this house that we have
lately moved into we heard the first
night we were here the cry Of
"'Murderi MurderT
"We sat up in horror; listening and
wondering what we ought to do; but
the next moment we heard a female
voice saying:
Edward! Edwardi Wake upi
Mercy What's the matterT'
And then we heard, In a mans
voice:
any graciousl I'm glad that
wasn't true
This was a great relief to US. Of
course, as no doubt 1t was to Ed
ward; but then, as we pulled the bed
clothes up again and our head
touched the pillow, we reflected that
the novice struggling with a cornet
had once seemed the worst thing that
could happen to us; but now we knew
better. AS between him and a neigh
Dor prone to a nightmare, give us, oh.
give us, every time, the amateur

Of the circles or semicircles that they

rRurH AND MYTH

The week-ends at the Ferrol homo
became periods Of intense work on
the part of Edith and Miss Selden,
who came down Friday afternoons
and stayed till Monday morning. re-
writing with Edith THE Question OF
Life"
The Ferrol children caught the spirit
of the work their parents and the
mice new Miss Selden" showed In
the book that was being created under
their roof.
Nor was 1t long before the children
sensed the theme OF the book. The
Ferrols did noe believe In keeping the
children out OF satisfying every
healthy curiosity-arousing event that
occurred. When nine-year-old Vir-
ginia asked the inevitable questions.
the Ferrols and Miss Selden told her,
according to the story In the book
The result was that sex education
precipitated itself into Arcadia Ions
before the Ferrols dreamed 1t would
be- Out of the mouths OF nelgnDor
children came questions which par
ents did not know how to answer
and blamed the Ferrols for their d.
lemma.
1t happened one afternoon when
Edith and Miss Selden were at their
work. They heard the approach OF
excited children's voices, the confused
tramp of little feet. The next moment
the two Ferrol children and those OF
a neighbor burst in excitedly.
'Scuse us, mother and Miss Sell
den." young Virginia Ferrol cried,
"but we want you to tell us who's
right! Winnie and Roy say their
father is a lawyer and knows more
than you do. And he told Winnie
,, and Roy whole lot Of silly things
about babies being found under cab
bages or brought from fairyland by
stork or something. We told Win

| Miss Selden's book. Winnie and Roy
say we're crazy. But we know we're
! right, mother. It's SO much more
sensible, mother. Aren't we right?'
And all the Riddles stood looking
eagerly, wide-eyed and breathless.
Edith and Miss Selden exchanged
glances. It was an interesting dilem
i. ma, and one they had somewhat fore
SEEN Edith and the author of "The
Question of Life" took the the thing

of such moment that they instructive

Home Made
Fmeless Cooker
BY NINA v. SHORT.

A convenient and possible type of
fireless cooker, for every farm home,
is the one using a four or Ave gallon
stone Jar for the outside continer.
Hay. excelsior or tightly twisted
newspapers may be sued for packing
materials, The twisted paper is very
satisfactory.
To pack the cooker with paper:
Twist each sheet Of paper tightly into
long strands. Pack these into the
bottom of a Jar to the depth Of four
inches. A heavy block Of wood or
weight should be used to pack the
paper solidly thus making the air spa
ces as small as possible.
Cut a cardboard mat four inches
larger In diameter than the cooking
utensil and place on the paper pack
ing. Cut an oblong piece Of cardboard
two inches longer than the outside
measure OF the cooking utensil, for the
we'll. Wrap the cardboard around the
utensil to hold cardboard in position
and fasten the ends together with
binding pins or sewing with heavy
cord. Place the utensil and card
board well In the center Of the jar and
pack paper firmly around the WELL
A circular collar, the size Of the
jar. should be placed over the packing
with the enter circle, the size Of the
WELL cut out.
A pad Of cushion to fit the jar, and
three or four inches thick is placed
over the cooking utensil and a heavy
board or tightly fitting lid holds the
heat and makes the cooker more effec-
tive.
Soap-stones make a freless cooker
more efficient and permit of a greater
range In cooking.
II stones are used, metal we'll is
necessary. One or two stones are
used; one under the cooking vessel
or one under and one on top. They
for SO or so cents each
A granite or enamel bucket with a
closely fitting lid and straight sides
is best for the well and should have
an outside lining Of sheet asbestos
to insure against setting fire to the
packing.
To line the well:
Cut disk Of sheet asbestos three
or four inches larger in diameter than
the we'll. Place the bucket in the
center of the disk. lip the edges Of
dish or fold up against the sides of the
well and paste in position. Cut oblong
piece Of asbestos to At the outside Of
well and paste in position. The well
must be lined before the cooker is
packed. The collar and cushion are
used as In the other type Of cooker.
