the time 0f Alexander The Great, who
required his SoldicrS to shave off their
boards because Il beard was handle
which an enemy could seize
The Crimean war in the fiftirS
brought the full beard into fashion
again. In IN" campaign British sol
dierS spent months in the trenches
where they had no chance to shave,
Their boards grew and grew and they
wore them when they returned to

The English papers say that many
soldiers coming home from the
trenches are bearded. and. unless pre-
cedents fail. the full beard is go

our American troops return from the
war with boards. we may look for that
fashion to become prevalent again in
America as 1t did after the Civil war.

Optical Glass Playing a Big
Part in the World Conflict
Needed by All Departments

That every field of military endeav-
glass is the statement recently made
by Prof. Edward W. Washburn Of the
department of ceramic engineering at
the University Of Illinois.
The war could not be conducted
without optical glass" said Professor
Washburn. "TeleScopeS, binoculars Of
ficerS lenses and Photographic plates
for army and navy observation pur-
poses, N-ray bulbs and microscopic
lenses for the medical and sanitary
corps and many other necessary i'm
plementS of a modern army would be
struck out if 1t were not for the cpra-
mic industry" explained the lecturer.
"PreviOus to the war" Professor
Washburn said. Germany manufac-
tured 100 different kinds of optical
glass, an assortment which supplied
the whole world. England boosted
about twenty varieties Of glass. The
United States produced none whatever.
England'S product was not nearly suf-
ticient to meet the demand of the al
lies and Britain found it necessary at
the beginning of the war to collect all
field glasses and small telescopes own
ed by citizens"
Doctor Washburn then told how
America is meeting the same problem
under the direction of special com
mittee on optical glass manufacture.
"As result of activities of this
commission" according to Professor
Washburn, american industry is now
supplying all the optical glass urgent
~ needed by the army and navy"

BACKYARD
POULTRY GROWING

The city or town man who keeps a
small flock Of hens not only is saving
money but is helping his country
Every pound of poultry raised and
every egg laid releases just so much
pork and beef for our armies and al
lies, according to L. W. Burby, pOul-
try husbandman stationed ut the ag
ricutuINl college by the United
States department of agriculture.
Poultry will not prevent ones grow
ing a garden. Twelve hens confined
in pen big enough for exercise and
provided with green feed will furnish
q goodly number Of eggs for food. A
packing box and a little poultry net
ting are all that is necessary for build
ing Il house and run.
For egg production rooster should
not be kept, as he is noisy and has
large appetite, but has no influence
on the number of eggs produced.
The poultry grower should not de-
pend too much on table scraps for
feeding his poultry, points out Mr.. Bur
by. Enough feed should be given to
keep the birds in good condition ana
sufficient excess to produce eggs. The
hens will eat vegetable peelings
and fruit scraps if these are put
through the food chopper and mixed
with a little mash. A good mash con-
sists of four parts of bran, two parts
of shorts, and one part OF hlgh Sfade
beef scraps, by weight.
Plenty of green feed should be used
This cuts down the amount OF grain
necessary. 1t is desirable to feed 70
the poultry the green weeds and thln-
nings from the garden, also the ms
shanen and wormy vegetables, and
tough corn, unfit for human consuilp-

Make Your
Own Sugar
BY thc U. S. Dept. Of Agriculture

BY the use Of ordinary Kitchen
equipment many people are in posi-
ton to make up the average OF 81
pounds of sugar, which is the average
each person in the United States used
last year. a few sugar maple trees,
Well-kept colonies of bees. 4 lIsldred
feet of sugar hretS raised in the gar
den, or small patch of sweet S"r-
ghum, and surplus apples which might
20 10 waste unless made into apple
sirup may each be made to contribute
10 the sugar supply.
The present limited sugar supply can
be increased if many more families, in
regions where the sugar maple grows
would each make maple >irup or sugar
from ten or more maple trees. Ten
trees. under ordinary conditions, can
be expected 70 yield about four gal
Ions of sirup or thirty pounds of sugar
Maple sugar milking is an art the
pioneer settlers Of America learned
from the Indians and for years it has
been Il home and farm industry. The
one who has the opportunity need hest
tate to try it, Find a sugar maple tree
ton or more inches in diameter; bore Il
hole thrcr-eightS of an inch or slightly
more in diameter: insert Il metal spout
or one made by punching the pith from
IL section of elder; set Il bucket under
ii that the sap may collect; boil this
down in Il kettle or shallow pan on a
Kitchen stove to the proper density for
maple Sirup. If sugar is preferred, boil
it down further until it Is quite thick,
taking care that it does not burn, and
let il crystalline.
sugar weather" often starts by the
middle of February in the southern
part of the sugar maple region. The
first sap is sweetest. There is no time
Ia be lost in talking: get ready to

ond, one from the top, and with the
knitting needle take W from first one
and then the other, alternating, begin
ming with the first stitch from The
from the one on the cord. Hold the
sock toward you, purling the first
stitch. which is from the sock that was
on the needle, ana knitting the second
stitch from the one that was on the
cord proceed with the first purl and
then knit, holding the thread over the
first finger for knitting, and soon YOU
will acquire u rhythm.
When you get to the heels take off
as in any sock. As you turn your heel
always purl the one next to YOU and
knit the other. To narrow take first
ana third stitch, purl them and slip

from the opposite sock, which Slip onto
Your needle and narrow knitting. There
is no slip and bind in this sock. When

The teacher said that after knitting
