RabbIt Meat for wartIns Eood

Wartime conservation of beef and
pork has enabled Kansan to develop
a rather extraordinary business in the
marketing Of wild rabbits, both Jacks
and cottontails. A rabbit-packing plant
has been established and is now ship
ping frozen bunnies by the tens of
thousands.
A recent contract called for 100000
pounds Of jackrabbit meat. The Jacks
average four pounds each when
dressed. This means that approximate.
ly 10000 rabbits were required to fill
the order.
The fur Is disposed Of at a handsome
profit. 1t is used In the manufacture
of high-grade felt, such as enters into
the making of mems hats.
All waste products are converted
into fertilizer. The industry also rids
the country Of crop-destroying pest.

Capturing runaway bomb on the
deck Of a ship during a terrific gale,
n United States navy man herolcally
held on to several hundred pounds Of
high explosive until 1t was got to safe
ty. This man of iron nerve is John
Mackenzie Of the naval reserve, who
Is serving as a chief boatswaIn's mate
on the u s. s. Remllts, a converted
yacht now on patrol service In Euro
pean waters For this extraordinary
heroism Mackenzie has been awarded
a medal of honor and given a gratuity
Of 500. In the midst Of storm a
depth charge, such as have proved SO
disastrous to German submarines,
broke loose and went rolling about the
decks, Realizing the danger, Macken-
zle shouted out, "I'll get heri'' and
flung himself upon the charging cylin:
der. Three times he was thrown from
the bomb. The fourth time he got it
and, heaving the charge upright, sat
on 1t and held 1t down. Here he re-
mained until lines were placed around
the bomb. Had the charge exploded
1t would have blown the ship to pieces.
Mackenzie is a native of Massachu-
setts and his mother, Mrs. Mackenzie,
resides at South Hadley Falls, Mass.
After serving four years in the regu-
lar navy he returned to service in the

Attached to the royal air force, he has

the various centers in choral singing,
thus dispensing with the necessity for
bands. The effect upon the spirits, the
morale and the discipline of the men
has been excellent. They have devel-
oped keen interest in singing, and
many Of them have been found, to
their own surprise, to possess excel.

the movement, 1t will probably be ex-

Where the line lies that marks the
division between morning house
dresses aud all-over aprons, 1t is a
hard matter to determine. They are
often very much alike. In house
dresses, however, a much greater va
riety of materials Is 20 be found and
also greater variety OF design. The
prettiest ones are made of printed
vOiles in stripes, plaids. checks and
plain patterns, usually finished with
collars and cuffs of organdie, dotted
swiss or machine-made embroidered
swiss. On white organdie collars and
cuffs narrow hand-crocheted edges and
feather-stitchlng, in the color that
dominates in the dress, have come in
as the most appropriate and prettIest
finish. Dimity, lowered lawn, printed
crepe, dotted swiss and, of course, cal
leo are all available for these frOcks
Aprons are of the heavier cOttons,

They are made in the 'slip-over fash
ion, which appears to have strong
following In all sorts of garments, and

From about her seventh year until
che Is well along In the ''flapper" stage
the growing girl usually requires some
special attention to clOthe her becom-
ingly. This Is 'the awkward age"
with some children, who are either too
angular or too chubby, while others
get through 1t without difficult lines
that must be softened. But for all
Of them the straight line dress seems
to be the safe cholce-the thin little
girl and the fat little girl, with per-
haps n little variation In waist line,
wear 1t with equal success.
New frOcks for school, and other
everyday wear this fall, have been pre-
sented, and two of them, shown above,
demonstrate how well the specialists
who design chlldren's clothes have
managed the straight-line idea. These
two refined and sensible dresses are
pretty and no little girl will look awk-
ward in them. They will interest
the mother who must busy herself with
her daughters school frocks. Both
these models are adapted to cotton or
to. wool materials, and both suggest
ways for remodeling and "making
over" wOolen clothes that 1t is the

tlmes-or any other times, for that
matter.
Any substantial cotton or reliable
wOol' fabric may be made up like
the frock pictured of plain goods. The
bodice has the effect of short jacket
which buttons under n fly at the front,
and the plain sklrt-with fiat saddle
bag pockets applied-ls gathered on
to 1t. The sleeves are three-Quarters
length and the dress is worn over a
lawn or batiste blouse with small
turnover collar. The decoration Is the
simplest sort of needlework trimming
merely silk floss in outline stitch
forming squares that border all edges
In the bodice and on the pockets.
Plaid and plain glngham or plaid
and plain serge will serve equally well
for the other dresses. In this model the
skirt is plated and set on to a plain
body. There are two narrow belts of
the plaid goods, the lower one ter
minating under narrow box plait In
the front Of the skirt and the upper
one fastening with plain button.
The white pique collar and cuffs are
separate. Like the under blouse in
the other dress, they are the means
of freshenlng up the frock and teach
ing the little ones the invaluable les
son of daintiness in appearance.

Suddenly a great cry rang out:
"The gas"
1t was true. Over there from the
enemy's lines, came great greenish
balls, rolling close to the earth, rolling
deliberately yet swiftly, rolling
straight toward us, Emmanuel Bour-
cier writes in Scribner's. Gas! That
horrible thing, still almost unknown,
which had been used for the first time
only recently on the User. 1t was
coming with deadly surety amidst a
tornado Of artillery. Orders were
shouted back and forth:

venomous color, uncanny, indescrib-

earth disappeared. The men staggered
about and rolled on the ground, stified.
There were some knots of soldiers
who had been asleep In their beds
when overtaken by the gas. They
writhed in conyulsions, with vitals
burning, with froth on the lips, call
ing for their mothers or cursing the
Germans. We gathered them up> as
best we could; we took them to the
doctors, who, thus confronted by an
unknown condition, found themselves
powerless. They tried the applica-

NOTORIOUS HUN INTRIGUER

Admiral Won Hintze, German min
lister at Christiania and formerly
minister to Mexico, who was selected
to succeed DIR. Won Kuehlmann as
foreign secretary, is perhaps the most
notorious intriguer in the German dip
lomatic service. China has been the
scene of much of his activity, and
there he hobnobbed not only with the
Germanophile mandarins, but also
with the robber bands and spies.
So scandalous, indeed, was his be-
havior that he was recalled for
while and at the outbreak Of the war
he was in Mexico. In the gulse Of an
Englishman he managed to return to
Germany by way Of the United States,
England and Holland, and In 1915 was
sent back to China as minister.
He Travelled once more by the
way of America, and despite the close
watch for him which was kept by the
Japanese he managed to get across
the Pacific as a supercargo in Scan

They are all easy enough to put on

example which will serve either as a

morning wear. It is likely to be car

vogue, to great success. New one

actly fitted for summer outings. They

WINS FAME IN THE AIR

Lieut.. Tyler Cook Bronson, a
young American aviator, only twenty
two years old, was mentioned in the
dispatches as being one of the Ameri.
can group who brought down six Of
the kaiser's best fighting airmen, a
unit of the famous Richthofen's own
squadron.
The encounter took place near
Chateau Thierry and was the largest
air fight in which members of the
American squadron have taken part.
Six German planes were brought down
while the rest took to flight, absolute
ly no loss resulting to our flyers.
Lieutenant Bronson comes from
a lighting family, his uncle, the late

REVERTED TO TYPE
Ferret's Night off an Orgy Of
Slaughter.
Little Killer Left Thick Trail Of Dead
Which He Had Destroyed for the
Pure Joy Of Staying, and
Went Home.


His mother was a ferret, lean, yell
low and pink eyed and she devil
to boot. says writer In London An
swers.
His father was worse, wild pole
cat of the mountains, and a worse
devil than ever.
But he, the cherub, was so soft and
furry and fat and creamy, and, though
he had got pink eyes, there seemed
to be nothing else of his mother and
father about him. He never bit, he
never spat, and he never used bad Ian
guage, and he lived upon bread and
milk, like a gentleman.
So he was till the spring broke.
1t was their own fault, the ferret
ers. They took him out rabblting, as
usual. They put collar with bell
on round his neck as usual, and a
long, long string on the collar, as
usual, and they turned him into a
rabbit warren, as usual. And he
sneezed three times, as usual, and hq
walked docilely down the first rabbit
hole he came to, as usual, to turn out
the rabbits from their burrows, as
usual, that the sportsmen outside
might shoot them as they bolted.
So far, until he got into the middle
Of the mazes of tunnels, the inky dark
nesses, and the stuffy heat, full Of
the smell of castor oil-don't know
why, by the way-and he could hear
the drumming of rabbits feet fleeing
before his ghostly, terrible self, every
thing happened as usual. Then nothing
did.
He was pulled up with a jerk that
nearly choked him. He tried going for
ward, but 1t was all no good. He
had only yard of play either way.
His line was entangled in root.
The hours passed, and the ferreters,
after trying every device known to
man to get him out, gave 1t up and
went home. The cherub did not give
1t up He worried slowly, and he
chafed, he pulled, and tugged, he
backed, and he sweated, and he
sneezed, and finally his collar came
undone or broke.
The cherub sneezed three times, and
walked three yards. Then he realized
he was free. 1t was the first time in
all his life he had been free, and 1t
acted upon him. In that second his
mother, plus his father, got to work
In his own body, and he began.
1t was really very clean killing. Fif-
teenrabbits done to death, each with a
single, clean fang stroke behind the
ears-was not so bad for one small
ferret. But he improved, for he slew
20 in the next hour-leavlng every
carcass untouched where 1t lay--and,
getting thirsty, came above ground for
water. The water he did not find, but
discovered fowls In fowlhouse in
stead, and as said, being thirsty,
drank blood. There were no live
fowls in that hen roost when he left.
He visited the hutches of the Belgian
hares, which he slew and the pigeon
cote, where he got more blood.
After that he returned q mile across
country, killing three partridges on
the way; drank at the dogs trough
biting the dog badly In The process
walked into his own hutch and was
found curled up, calmly asleep, among
the hay next morning.
