COOLEST PLACE IN
THE REFRIGERATION Is
NOT CLOSEST TO ICE

Many housewives have learned
from sad experiences in loss of per-
ishable foods that next to the ice
is not the coolest place in the home
refrigerator To the housewife who
has not had this experience the Food
Administration gives this advice:
MANY put their butter and milk
right next to the ice because they
think this is the coolest place. but,
as a matter of fact, the coldest place
is at the bottom of the Refrigerator.
Hot air rises. and air that is not be-
ing constantly purified by circulation
around the blocks of ice soon are un-
fit to come into contact with the food.
When the warm air in the refriger-
ator rises it carries with it impuri-
ties and moisture which are absorb
which if allowed to remain in the cir
spoil the food. The air which is
warmed by passing over the food
comes in contact with the ice where

ALLIES NOW HAVE
BIG BOMBING PLANES
WORKING IN SQUADRONS

There were no aerial bombing or
ganizations in the allied flying corps
during the first year Of the war.
Practically all the work in the air
was in the nature of observation. No
pilots could be spared for anything
else. Today probably rs per cent of
the aerial arms are bombing squad
rons OF IL machines per squadron.
The first bombing was done by
volunteer pilots who flew over the
German lines and dropped three or
four bombs. made from artillery
shells, on concentration camps and
cantonments. Showers of small steel
arrows were spilled sometimes on
conveys, troop trains. and bodies of
massed men. The Germans began
day bombing of cities In 1915 and
the allies bombarded Karlsruhe in
reprisal later IN the same year. Since
then evolution in organized bombing
developed rapidly and the French be-
gan night bombing, but this was not
undertaken by the Germans until in
August. 1915.
At the present time large groups,
including several squadrons of bomb
ing machines go over the lines from
time to time and completely destroy
their objective. be 1t a city. or

plications for releases from the Army
of boys under this age who have en-

Cain has issued the following circu-
lar letter:
''The large number of applications
received from parents and guardians
for the discharge Of minors under
18 years of age, inclosing satisfac-
tory evidence that the soldier is uu-
der this age. indicates the necessity
of more care on the part of recruit
ing officers in order to avoid unnec-
essary expense to the government and
annoyance to troops in the field in
subsequent discharge of such mel,
and to avoid placing a blot for life
on the record of a boy whose offense
OF misstatement of his age arises u.s.
uaIly from patriotic desire to serve
his country.
Hereafter no applicant under the
registration age will be accepted OF

complete satisfaction of the recruit

age of Is years. The proof required
will be (a) birth certificate, baptis
