RECRUIT AND WORK
ARE CAMOUFLAGED
Women Have One Busy Time
Selecting Right Pose for
Photographs.

At four bells In the morning watch
the cry was raised that artist Worden
Wood had been swept overheard and
that the dogfish were devouring him.
However. no one appeared to be in the
least concerned as to the fate of artist
Worden Wood. and the regular routine
OF sea life proceeded.
The cry women frst." had rung
over the decks Of the Recruit at the
first sight-silhouetted against the rays
OF the setting sun and midway in the
roadstead, between the Recruits fore
castle head and the swinging door of
the Spingler cafe-of four dozen men,
bers Of the womens Camoufiage Corps
in heavy marching order and on their
way on board 10 assist in the task Of
giving the Recruit a multicolored coat
OF camoutiaSe paint TO the end that New
Workers. may know what modern
fighting ship looks like on sea duty,
And from the moment the cry had
been raised 1t had been women first.
First each and every one OF the women
drew up at attention and saluted. The
first thing after that they all shed their
packs and overcoats and stood forth in
olive drab shirts and knickerbockers.
Some OF the knickerbockers had required
more cloth to make than had some Of
the others Then as the crowd about the
land battleship thickened the members
of the corps demanded TO know whether
they were TO be photographed indlvid-
ually or all In one group,
Some Trouble Over Pictures.
Meantime the regular crew OF the land
ship had paint pots issued 10 them and
began to camouhage the ship.
1t appeared that the members of the
Women's Camouhage Corps were to be
photographed all in one group. This led
to a dispute. Some of the members OF
the Womens Camouflage Corps eX-
pressed the opinion that group pictures
never displayed one to such advantage
as an individual picture OF one. while
others took the ground that individual
pictures gave the impression that one
was always having ones self photo
graphed In uniform. This led to another
dispute.
Meantime the regular crew OF the Re-
cruit kept slaRDtng on the camouflage
paint.
Presently the members OF the Women's
Camoutage Corps were led to the upper
deck and grouped around the bow chaser.
This led to another dispute. a number of
the members of the corps taking the
view that the group would look better II
II were pictured beneath the ships colors
astern. This led 70 another dispute.
SO the photographers logged their in
struments aft and the members of the
corTs were regrouped. but just before the
flashlights were touched OF some one re-
memhered that they ought to be pictured
with paint pots in their hands, indicating
that they We're camouhaging the ship.
This led TO still another dispute.
While this dispute was raging the
regular crew OF the vessel kept at their
work OF applying camoufiage paint to the
vessel.

EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING.
by Henrietta Grauel
DIR FRIEND DICKY.

The canary is the best loved of all cage
| birds. This household pet is capable o
being trained To tricks that persons who
have never owned one would think I'M
| possible. Birds have ideas of their own
and they love to express In other ways
| than in song and when given an oppor-
tunity they devclope amusing traits that
delight their owners.
A nest full of young birds calling Justify
for food that is supplied by the gallant
father and the loving, industrious little
mother bird is most interesting and VIII
delight all the family, as well as your pct
Dicky.
February is the bird mating month. 1t
is said wild birds choose their mates on
the 18th of this month"; whether this be
true or not, it is the time that canarIes do
try to build their homes. If you let your
singer out, as you should do, you will see
him picking ravelings from the curtains,
threads from the carpets, and even
feathers from his own body, with the idea
of going to housekeeping. Ills song IS dii-
ferent now 1t contains long clear. calling,
pleading notes you have not heard since
last spring. He wants mate, and if YOU
can satisfy this longing you will make him
very happy.
Ii does not injure birds song to be
mated; on the contrary, they sing much
more sweetly il they arc satisfied and per-
mitted to follow their instinct to build
house and raise family.
An old mother bird should be bred to
n young singer and vice versa. Small wire
nests are the best to use. They can be
scalded after each nesting period and are
made so they fastcn securely IN the cage.
The nesting material may be silk floss,
deer hair, moss, short strips OF tissue
paper and soft down or feathers. 10 is
great fun to put this in different places
in n room and see the birds find 1T and,
making their selection of building ma
tcrlal, carry it to their cage and place 1t IN
their nest.
Breeders put ten singers and thirty
mother birds in small, whItewashed
room and aside from keeping them clean
and we'll fed, do not modest them until the
brooding time Is over and the nestiings
hatched two weeks.
Three nests of birds is as many rs one
pair of birds should be permitted to raise.
The mother bird lays eight days after
mating, and the nest may contain from
four to SIN eggs, though . young bird may
lay but three eggs during her first season
The birds should be kept out OF draft
but where there is plenty of fresh air
They must have varied diet bit OF
old plaster, or we'll slakod lime, should
always be in the cage for the hen to peck
at, as it makes the egg shells thick. Some
breeders put a few drops of lime water in
the drinking water.
The birds know how to care for their
young and will feed them properly if YOU
give them hard-boilcd egg mixed with
cracker dust, lettuce, bird mamma, apple,
toast, dipped in milk, and plenty of
gravel and good seed If there is a weak
birdie in the nest you can feed it. with
medicine dropper, few drops Of thin
food at time, and il will soon catch up
with its lusty brothers.

TILLY ANN.

Tilly Ann was a little colored girl,
and she went every week with her mother
, to the big house on the hill where her
mother did the washing.
Miss Nettie lived in the big house,
and she was always looking for Tilly
Ann at the gate the day her mother was
to be there, for she dearly loved little
1illy Ann because she never pulled her
toys apart or quarreled the way some Of
her little white playmates did.
And Tilly Ann loved Miss Ncttie,
too because she was so kind to her She
always gave her doll to play house with,
and played she was the white dolls mother
just as she played with the white children.
The only thing that marrcd Tilly
AIMS happiness was the wish that she
was white; and she had often asked her
mother if she could be washed white like
little Miss Ncttie.
There must be some secret about
the white folks getting their white skin,
and Tiily Ann meant to keep her ears
open and learn it slc 9, i'll
She did notice that little Miss Nettie
never cried when her face and hands
were washed with soap and water,
and for a long time T>lly Ann not only
let her mother wash her face without
fussing, but she scrubbed it herself
and once with sand soap, for she thought
that might bring the white skin she longed
for. But instead it brought sore place
on her face where she had rubbed off the
skin, so 1illy Ann knew that was not the
way TO be white.
One day little Miss Nettio and 1llly
Ann were playing quite a distance
from the house when a shower came
up, and before they could get TO the
house they were soaked to the skin.
Little Miss Nettic began to cry. 81

but she did not tell any one. She went
