who would analyze it to its elemental

There has been a lack Of technical
schools to impart to young men the
most careful preparation for the me-
chanical arts. There was a lack of re-
search to standardize formulas and
processes Of production. And most
young men have not thought it neces-
sary to pursue such courses of techni-
cal study as were within their reach.
In many lines now there are works of
technical information available. But
the majority Of young men engaging in
these callings do not study these
sources of information.
Recent years, it is true, have shown
a marked trend toward better methods
and science. Many factories that. used
to buy raw materials by guess work
and get cheated half the time, now de.
pend on laboratory tests. Thereby
they get a product that they can de.
pend upon.

The Cost of Food.

The latest United States government
statistics show that the cost of food as
a whole increased 81 per cent during
the year ending last February. A
large part Of that advance occurred
during the first three months of the
period. The entrance of the United
States into the war made a new de-
mand for food, and tended to encour-
age SPECTATORS to hold out for high
prices.
This advancing tendency is not vet
stopped. During the last month of the
period, the prices went up another 1
per cent. Potatoes are about the only
staple lower than a year ago, thanks
to the great back yard crop raised by
patriotic gardeners. Bread reached it's
zenith in August when the average
price of 16 ounce loaf was up to O91.
BY February it was down to .OS3.
It is disappointing that in spite of
the big corn crop on which we expect
ed such satisfactory results, the prices
of corn meal kept rising. Retail prices
at Chicago went up during the period
udueu IIOHl .OtI per pound TO .OIO.
This suggests that the corn crop was
not efficiently handled. Much of it was
from the start in very poor condition,
owing to late frosts. During the late
winter there were wide spread COM
plants that corn was spelling, owing
to lack Of freight cars to transport it
to the mills
Our people have taken cheerfully the
burdens imposed on them by the war.
They understand that we must all
make sacrifices, and the high prices of
food are paid without much complaint.
But these prices are burden on our
war efficiency. .> u.
The farm is an essential part Of the
battle front. The exemption boards
should be- very cautious about taking
men for army service who are needed
in food raising. And we simply must
have sufficient transportation facilities,
so that whatever food is raised can be
utilized before it spoils.

RED CROSS NOTES
BY Mrs. F. P. Bernard

A dozen Of our ladies met in the
Red Cross room Monday night to work
on needle books for the comfort bags.
We made 4S books, which is less than
half we must make before the boys
leave. We are quite proud of these
needle books. They are surely an i'm
prOvement over the first ones, as these
are large enough to hold scissors,
thread, thimble, pins, buttons and
needles, and room for some extras be-
side.
The following goods were shipped to
headquarters last week: pajamas 115,
bed shirts 235, helpless shirts II, robes
80. In knit goods: socks 100 pairs,
wristlets 10 pairs, jackets 60.
The Junior Red Cross sent out 80
shirts, 81 petticoats, 81 night gowns,
100 dresses. The Junior work is for
the Belgian children. I am informed
that the above is but small portion of
what they will do.
I understand that there are not
enough workers in surgical dressings.
If each woman who considers herself
a member Of a class would ask some
friend to take her place whenever she
is unable to attend, it would surely be
of great help to .. the several super
visors of the classes: :: ..~... ~,

This spirit Of patient indefatigable
investigation Of detail Of research for

money or not. When you think you
really need to spend for some personal

British and American forces struck
a blow south Of Cambria yesterday
that seems to have shattered what re-

system in that region. Over a twenty
mile front the allies stormed ahead
and at nightfall appeared to be out in
the open country and moving toward
the Cambrai-Le Chateau road, which is
the only avenue Of escape for the Ger
mans still in Cambria. 1t now seems
that the enemy must retreat hurriedly
from the Cambria region and that their
retirement Will involve the front far
to the northward.
Further south the French have won
valuable ground and have moved ahead
so that their front is virtually M

Forced from Cambrai, one of the
strong pillars of the Hindenburg sys-

GERMANS USING
NEW FIRE BOMB

Paris. Oct. 9-The Germans during
the last few days have been using in
their air work new type Of inflam-
mable bomb, combining great effect
iveness with light weight. A slngle
airplane, it is said, can carry 200 of
these bombs.
The only way of fighting the fire
caused by this new form of destructive
weapon appears to be the isolation Of
the blaze as pouring water on it is
literally adding fuel to the flames on
account of the chemicals Of which the
bombs are composed.
