Suggests Changing Birds Z.
Name to 'tPrussian" Sparrow

In some parts of the United States
more birds than usual are found,
writes Norman Hapgood In Leslie's.
In plumage and song, this interest Of
life has been increased. The reason
Is found largely in the severity Of last
winter. The hardy English sparrows
remain the year around, even in our
colder states, but this time many Of
them were frozen. These sparrows
are sturdy fellows, notable for fighting
powers, gifted In organized aggression.
Does this show any general superb

cation, American Red Cross, Washing
ton, D. G. -
Inquiries concerning men wounded
or killed in service, or authenticity
reported wounded or killed should be

Profits In Swiss Cheese
Reach Large Sum, Report
Of Exporters Makes Plain

The report of the cooperative
Swiss cheese exporters for the bust
ness year of 1917, found In a copy Of
the Berner Tagwacht of June IA, re-
Gently received in this country, shows
that the tales that the Swiss were
planning to increase the size of the
holes in their famous product in order
to make their business more profitable
have a shaky foundation. 90 3, r.
After paying all the expenses in
CURED in doing a business with re-
ceipts for the year amounting to about
100000 and setting aside $4,000
for reserves, the association was able
to turn over about $4,000 to the
Swiss government. 100000 for divi-:
sion among the cheese makers, and re-
tain a surplus Of nearly 100000 for
division among the II members Of
the cooperative. These profits, made
at a time when the vast majority Of
the Swiss people Is undergoing great
hardships because Of war conditions,
cause the Berne paper to quote sar-
castically from pamphlet issued by
the cooperative last year In which it
was asserted that the association had
been organized especially for, the pro
motion Of the economic interests Of
the Swiss people and the benefit Of

rats Destroy Quantities
of Food; Government Has
Plan 10 Destroy Rodents

It frequently happens that losses Of
young chickens attributed to the depre-
dations of hawks and to other causes
are due to rats. There is no more de-
structive pest about the poultry yard
than these. Coming like the thief in
the night and usually leaving no visi-
BILE marks of their ravages, they es-
cape, in large measure, the relentless
hunting down that they deserve. Not
only are they destructive to young
chickens, but they prey upon the egg
supply throughout the year.
= The United States department Of
agriculture points out that anyone, by
care and industry, may free his own
premises of these rodents, but that he
is helpless to prevent an early recur-
renee Of the trouble unless he can Sc
cure the active cooperation Of his
neighbors. The department urges,
therefore. that wherever possible the
destruction of these pests be q cOmmu-
nifty undertaking. .-- %.,E,TH%
The same effort, it is pointed out,
that is made by individuals working
independently. If organized 81 q COM
munity basis would be many. times
more effective. The department has
worked out and tested definite plans
for the destruction Of rats, In common
with other rodents, and information
concerning the matter can be had by
writing the department.

No Helmet More Efficient
Than That Being Worn by
American Boys In France

sThe helmet worn by American SOL
tllers follows the general lines Of the
British type Of inverted soup plate
rather than the French fcasQue' or the
German coal scuttle,'" says Francis
A. Collins in 1.-THE Fighting En-
eineers." Penetration tests show that
no helmet is more efficient than that
of the American type. Every helmet
issued to the American soldier has
passed a severe test and is absolutely
free from cracks or flaws. s~a..
To turn out this complicated head
gear by the million, using only the
highest grade Of materials, is big
order; but the great manufacturing r.
sources Of the United States have
proved equal to the Quantitive produc-
ton. Steel helmets had never been
made in the United States; but new
machinery was designed, and the sup
ply has never fallen behind the de-
mand. < W. .-.'s
The helmets are made by stamping
and punching sheets of steel, 50 thou
sands may be turned out In day, with
great saving Of labor. Each steel
sheet is one foot square and one
sixth Of an inch thick. The pieces
sheared of and other wastage are re-
turnes' to the government, so that moth
ing is lost. . --.s-. -.

Good Horses Are Expensive
and Sen for Fancy Prices

When electricity came into use FOR
street cars hundreds Of thousands OF
Horses were released for other pur-
poses, but equine prices did not de-
scend, notes New York correspond
ent. Then when automOt lies came In
to such general use and supplemented
horses again. the natural expectation
was that the price would be cheaper.
On the contrary, good general purpose
horses are higher today than ever BE-
fore, When central New Workers. are
required to pay these high figures they
can gee q little consolation from the
reports Of the German horse market at
Hanover. There good cart horses bring
$1,000 to 1850; medium size, $50 to
500: Inferior animals. 500 to $50.
and horses about to be led to the
slaughter for meat bring 500 to $50

quent changing of flocks to fresh
ground to insure health. Where win
tiers are longer and more severe build
ings and sheds are necessary. to fur
nish protection from storms, though
no special provisions are needed for
warmth. Dryness, good ventilation
and freedom from drafts are the first
requisites of buildings for sheep. Con-
venience in feeding and shepherding
must also be held in mind in locating
and planning such buildings or sheds.
Small flocks can be cared for In Sec
tons of barns having stabling or feed
storage for other stock, but with a
flock of. say, 100 ewes separate build
ings are desirable. The interior ar
rangement Of these buildings should
be such as to require minimum Of
labor and the least possible moving Of
the ewes in doing the feeding and car
ing for them during the Landing sea-
son. A building of this type can also
be utilized for fattening purchased
lambs to be disposed Of before lamb
ing begins in the regular farm flock.
A good supply of feed racks, grain
troughs, ETC., can be provided at small
expense and will save labor and pre-
vent waste Of feed. .-.. ~

Platinum IS Absolutely
Necessary to Aid America
in Fighting the Germans

For war purposes the United States
must possess or control every ounce
of platinum in the country, says New
York Times, because. as Represent
alive Henry T. Raincy Of Illinois
pointed out in his speech in the house
recently, explosives cannot be manu-
featured without the use Of sulphuric
acid and nitric acid, and sulphuric and
nitric acids cannot be manufactured
without ample supplies of platinum"
Platinum is also essential for the man
ufacture Of ignition points in air.
planes; and guns cannot be made with
out the use of promoters, and in turn
promoters cannot be made without
platinum. A pyrometer is an iinstru-
ment for measuring very high degrees
of temperature. - ~-a f.. ,gg.,,..,. Al. .
All this being so, NO patriotic
makers of, or dealers in, articles Of
luxury into which platinum enters,
only because it has become more ex-
pensive than gold, would stand in
the path of action by congress to give
the war department control Of the
available supply Of platinum in this
country. ~ -.~.
Germany now has its hands on the
greater. part of the worlds store Of
platinum, which 70 to be found in the
Ural mountains. Colombia, which Ger
man propaganda Is seeking to influ.
ence. produces 10 per cent Of the
whole; the United States only per
cent. Iridium and palladium must
not be forgotten; they occur with
platinum and are used in hardening 1t.

ers can get along without platinum, II

sans would have to seek other work |;
but the American army cannot fight

Where Battle Will. Be Fought
That viii Decide the War Is
Question World Is Now ASKING

The question A to where and when
the deciding battle Of the present great
war will be fought is one which the
whole world is asking, says writer
in Philadelphia North American. The
battle of the Somme, Verdun, the bat.
tie Of the, Marine and the great drive
against the Hindenburg line were each
q great stride toward victory, but ouly
the future can tell just when and
where the deciding blow will be struck.
And without such blow, say tho his
torians, no permanent peace cen be
achieved, for wars of the past show
that the end is always brought about
by some great, decisive victory,
Gettysburg was the deciding rattle
of the Civil war, and Saratoga II con-
sidered as having been the critical fight
during the Revolution. Ohe must,
however, go back some 24c7 years to
fiad the first decisive battle of his
tory, which was fought at Marathon,
when the Athenians under Militades
defeated the Persians and preserved
free government. 49,, 49, 49,
Equally decisive was the victory of
the Syracusans over those same Athe-
mans some seventy odd years later,
and since then there has been no war
In which some battle has not been def
nitely the deciding struggle. Oddly
enough, such battles are almost always
fought on land, for no matter how
great the victory at sea, 1t does not
seem aS ef1ica cfOuS in ending war m
does such a victory on land. go. :
Thus, while the battle Of Trafalgar
in 1905 was the deciding naval battle
between France and England since it
destroyed Nap0leon's hope of invading
Great Britain, it was not until Water
loo, some ten years later, that a de-
cisive defeat was administered to
Bonaparte by the allied armies of Rus
STA, Austria, Prussia and England.

Japanese Women Are Taking
Places Of Men Joining Army

A notable sign Of preparation for the
return Of large numbers of men to the
Japanese army Is the voluntary enroll
ment of women In various kinds Of
work heretofore performed by men. A
keen demand for women laborers has
arisen and most Of the employees have
proved efficient. Women have Joined
the fire companies in the villages of
Kyushu and have rendered excellent
service. They are sewing as conduc-
tors On the tramways and ~ booking

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

OOOOOoOOOOOOOO
! Chickens will ''pick up a good part
of their living from waste that other
wise would never become Of any value.
They will feed themselves to an ex-
tent from grass. weeds, insects and
crumbs and small scraps that II not
eaten by chickens would not become
of food value to man. They will eat
the eggs and larvae from which come
various destructive insects, particu-
larly orchard pests. In some orchards
where chickens range the brOWn-tail
moth has almost disappeared. while
nearby orchards where chickens do
not run are damaged by the pest.
Most of the attention required by
farm flocks can be given by the wom-
On and children Of the household. The
question of labor Is not a puzzling and
uncertain problem in the poultry pro-
duction program. II the farmer in
creases his flock to size suitable to

Wild Burro as a Food, and :
Value as a Beast Of Burden

DR.. C. c. Young, an Arizona sheep
breeder, wants wild burros Of the
southwest utilized as food. He says
he has eaten burro meat himself and
likes 1t. In their wild state the burros
are pests, he says. but when fat and
about year old can be converted into
dishes tempting to our best epicures.
This IL only one side Of the matter,
however. The burro Is Of more worth
as q beast of burden than as an article
Of food. Why not utilize him to q
greater degree, at least during the

All cream soups have for foundation
the binding and milk which gives them
their food value. A cupful of vege-
table pulp to pint of milk bound
with a tablespoonful each of flour and
fat, the seasonings will vary to suit
the taste. A larger proportion of
flour and fat is used In some recipes
