of broilers and sweet corn, unless Mrs Smith

CALL FOR NURSES.

The demand has been great for graduate
nurses to serve in the Army and Navy, and
here are many who, through family ties or
some physical disability, cannot leave for for
sign duty. It is these nurses who must con-
slider taking graduate work in public health
courses in order to qualify themselves for the
responsible duties of the public health nursing
field. The battle to keep up the highest standard
of public health is not to be relaxed for one mo-
ment.
There must be trained women who can teach
the tuberculosis patient how to prevent the
spread of disease, who can teach the members
of family how to protect themselves from it.

SAVE AND HAVE.

Ben Franklin one of the wisest of men and
he founder of the modern science of efficiency
mixed thrift with industry as an essential factor
# success in life. Here several of his
naxins which have been the guideposts on the
pathway to success for hosts of men:
If you would be wealthy, think of saving
as well as of getting.
Many little make mickle.
The art of getting rich consists very
much in thrift. All men not equally
qualified for getting money, but it is in the
power of everyone alike to practice this
virtue.
Save and have.
If you know how to spend less than you
get you have the philosophers stone.
All man saves is his own for nothing
and his country is actually so much richer.
It is far from our intention to urge Americans
to get rich while the Nation is engaged in the
most gigantic war of all times. No American
should think of accommodating wealth when all
the resources and energies of the people should
be devoted to the winning of the The
prime motive of war savings is to supply the
Government with all the money it needs for the
efficient and successful prosecution of the war.
If the is lost, everything is lost Liberty
will be gone; no mans home or family will be
safe. Every mans property, talents, energy,
and destiny will be at the mercy of ruthless
and greedy conqueror says George ST. John of
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Supply the Government promptly with ample
funds means great saving in the cost of the
war. The more quickly the Government
provide the men, ships and munitions necessary
for victory the greater the saving of lives and
treasure; the less the cost in money and agony.
War saving, therefore. like mercy, is twice
blessed 1t helps the Nation to win the war
quickly and thus assures the safety of democ-
racy and the preservation of liberty and hu-
name civilization at the least cost in lives
treasure and suffering
1t blesses the individual who by saving and
investing his surplus earnings income puts
his feet in the road to independence, clear con-
science, and serenity of mind.
Americans who can not go to war but who
IAN buy War Savings Stamps can fire a shot
FOR their country and their country's cause In
he same way they can acquire habits of thrift
which will be of inestimable value to them in
iividually and to the Nation as a whole.

Out of Cancelled War Con-

Good news for manufacturers with
cancelled war contracts was brought
back from Washington yesterday by
+. H. Outerbridge, chairman of the
After-the War Committee on Foreign
Trade and Shipping of the New York
Chamber of Commerce.
A bill designed to establish a sys-
tenn which will handle quickly the
claims of manufacturers arising out of
cancelled contracts has been introduced
IN both branches of Congress. By its
passage it is hoped to avert repeti-
ton of the iniusticcs which followed
the Civil War, when many manufac~
turers waited years before receiving
repayment for their cancellation losses
The bill was prepared by julius
Henry Cohen, counsel to the Chamber
of Commerce, and Charles l.. Bcrnhei-
mer, chairman of the chambers com
mittee on arbitration, and was intro
duced by Senator Calder and Repre-
sentative Snyder. 1t provides. briefly,

favor of doing justice to the manufact-
urers as soon as possible. The senti-
ment seemed to be that tcchncalties
should not be utilized by the govern
men to delay matters or prevent pay
ment, but that everything should be
done to see that manufacturers who
have cooperated SO thoroughly with the
government throughout the war, be
given the fair treatment which is essen
tial if they are to avoid serious losses
as a result of cancellations"

Win World Sweepstakes
Transatlantic Contest

Glenn H. Curtiss, Of the Curtiss En-
fidence yesterday of the future of the
airplane, particularly of the flying
boat. and expressed his belief that
transatlantic voyages would come soon.
Although he spoke generally and not
specifically, it was easy to see that he
was most optimistic as to the chances
of the Curtiss Colossus, that rides
at anchor off Rockaway, in the trans
atlantic air sweepstakes of the world.
This huge flying boat is the official
entry Of the United States in the
transatlantic flights which are con-
templated by English, Italian and
German manufacturers. 1t is a naval
plane and is known officially as the
NC-1. 1t is the first American seago-
ing machine to be equipped with three
engines 1t carries three Liberty mo-
tors which develop 1900 horsepower.
The spread of its wings is 1876 feet.
They are twelve feet wide and twelve
feet apart. Recently it carried fifty
men in practice flight Several of
this type are undergoing tests, but at

'Cross-Ocean Flights Soon
~ believe we soon shall have trans
atlsntic flights" said Mr. Curtiss. "The
reason for this belief and for my be-
lief that marine flying will be devel-
oped more rapidly than land flying is
because for the former no new landing
fields are needed. In other words,
terminal facilities already are pro-
vided
Quiet harbors rivers and small
lakes are ideal landing fields for sea-
planes and flying boats. Furthermore,
there is no limitation to the width of
plane because there is ample room
for even our largest sea boats to
manpuvre. We know more about
weather conditions on the sea, more
about tides and more about the gen
eral directions of the wind than we do
on land. Mariners have been studying
meteorological conditions over the sea
for years and the government already
and has a we'll organized service COW
erng weather conditions.
"Another thing, the relative speed
of boats is slow, as compared with the
speed of railway TRAINS. so that aerial
trans portation at speed of from rs
to 100 miles an hour is bound to cut
down materially the time required to
go from one seaport 10 another, thereby

Cause of Action Denied
y The facts alleged in the bill of

Mr. Carlton as a defendant, are IN
sufficient to constitute Il valid cause
Of action in equity.
Z The war existed July 16, 1913,
still continues and there has
been no proclamation Of the exchange
of ratification of treaty Of peace, and
OF these facts the court shou d take
judicial notice to negative the allega-
ton of the bill Of complaint that the
war ceased November II, 1913.
A. The proclamation under which the
possession alleged was taken was
signed by the President on November
2, and the court should take judicial
notice that it was signed on November
2 to negative the allegation that it
was not signed until after November

entertain the bill, to which neither the

can be made party.
