servants. staying just long enough
TO loot the house.
The latest victim OF this kind of &
thief Is Mrs. Margaret Russell. of
$40 G street northeast. A colored
girl left her employ unnoticed yes
terday and took with her clothing
valued at $500.
In the past few months several
other householders have been sim
ilarly robbed but the police have ap-
pretended the jority of offenders
and heavy prison sentences have re.
suited for these women.

The camp workers say there is an
increased willingness among the COM
manding officers and surgeons to al
low Christian Science treatment for
those men who ask Cor II. and many
Christian Science healings have been
recorded. Recently. two requests for
Christian Science services in hospital
wards were received by camp workers
from medical nurses who had OBJ
served the beneficial effects OF Chris
tian Science treatment
In or near numerous camps the
Christian Science committees have
erected substantial buildings, with
quiet places for reading and writing,
and other buildings are In course of
construction. A light touring car has

AUGUST MARK
FOR AIR MAIL
SERVICE HIGH
Eastern Route Operated
Without Miss, Hitch or
Any Serious Delay.

During the month Of August the air
mail service between Washington.
Philadelphia and New York was con-
Quoted without a miss, hitch or seri-
Gus delay OF any character.
The operations for the month were
perhaps the most remarkable IN the
history OF aviation. There were
twentyseven flying days, of which
16S legs of the journey had to be per-
formed, and IN that month there were
but two forced landings. one with q
delay OF seven minutes and the other
delay of less than ten minutes. One
forced landing was made within four
miles of Belmont Park at the end of
a Journey. Il was caused by break
OF the magnetic shaft. The other
forced landing was made on flight
where fog and haze obscured the
ground and for the purpose of picking
up the course because the compass
failed to work.
Mileage Nears Maximum
The total possible miles OF flight
was 1881. OF which 1851 miles were
completed.
During the first ten days OF the
month the routes were flown by
LJttuNS. EsuECA AOAAE NNi6OASt DNAs7eA4s
Webb, Culver and Miller without a
miss. hitch or forced landing. During
the last twenty days OF the month
the routes were operated by the
civilian fliers OF the Post Office De-
partment. The perfect scores were
made by Aviators Max Miller and Z.
V. Gardner. Aviators Maurice New
ton and Robert Shanks. on the Phila-
deIDhia end of the route each had
one forced landing. giving them q
score OF 90 per cent.
Nearly Three Tons Carried.
A total Of 5,S79 pounds OF mail was
carried on the trips.
4 most rigid mechanical mainte-
nance system on all the fields was
maintained, with the result that the
month closed without a single plane
OF the fifteen being laid up In the
shop for repairs.

Boston Church Seeks to Aid.
Soldiers Stationed at

Christian Science camp welfare
work is now being carried on In forty

United States under direction Of the
Christian Science war relief and camp
welfare committee of the First
Church Of Christ. Scientist In Bos-
ton. There are at present about
seventy men and fifteen women en-
gagged IN this work. the women serv-
ing mainly as welfare room atten-
dants.
Conducted at Arst Independently.
the camp welfare work has been
merged with the war relief work
which the Christian Scientists were
doing In foreign countries before the
United States entered the war. For
both these purposes about N.ooo,coo
have been raised.
The aim OF the Christian Science
camp workers is TO be as helpful
as possible TO all the men in the
camps. whether or not they are
Christian Scientists, and particularly
TO give assistance which may not be
available at the time or place
fare agencies. A feature OF this
phoSV VI iic NOTh Is du

Cooperating with the committee In

operates by mail and telegraph with
'the committee OF the State in which
he is camped or stationed 10 form a
direct and constant link between the
soldier or sailor and his relatives.
Thereby the relatives are quickly
made acquainted with needs OF their
boy in the service, and he Is provided
with an avenue OF quick communica-
ton with his home.
This linking of home and camp,
combined with the personal attention
OF the Christian Science workers in
the camps. has frequently been the
means of changing a soldiers outlook
from one of gloom TO one OF Joy. and
not infrequently It has proved to be
the means of relieving relatives Of
financial embarrassment, the commit
tee In the home State making loans
for use by the relatives until their
boy in camp should be prepared to
forward money to them.
The net result. for which the Chris
tian Science committees and camp
workers have received many COM
mendations. has been a noticeable
raising OF the morale of many men In
the service md the development Of a
better feeling AZ home regarding the
participation of their boys In the
service.

Question Which Is Agitat-
ing Many Minds.
WILL DOUBTLESS ELICIT
UNIVERSAL CONSIDERATION
Few Who Keep In Touch with the
Trend Of Events, However, Antici-
pate Other Than the Greatest
Prosperity Throughout America.

Many people are wondering just
what will be the business situation
when peace comes. A few are open
ly skeptical as to the prospect and
are inclined to talk pessimistically
and evidently they are either short
sighted or altogether blind, for the
signs of the times all point to great
business activity and prosperity in
America after the war.
This country will be the one great
creditor nation. England, France,
Italy, Russia and other countries
will not only, like America, owe
huge war debts to their own peo-
pie, but they will be indebted to
America to the extent of billions OF
dollars. Then, too, the destruction
of great areas of their urban and
rularl sections, and the depletion of
their resources will make it neces-
sary for them to call upon America
for manufactured products of many
kinds as well as for great quanti-
tiles of raw material. Moreover, the
antipathy which all the world is
certain to feel towards Germany
and German products for many
years to come as well as the cord
iality which they are likely to feel
towards America for her powerful
assistance in destroying the Ger

man menace. are certain to add
greatly to the extent and volume
of our foreign trade after the war
not only with Europe, Asia, Africa,
Australia and Canada, but also
with Central and South America
This trade will also be greatly fa-
cilitated by our enormous and rap
idly growing merchant marine.
Foreign trade will do much to
quicken American business after
the war, but business will also be
greatly stimuplated by domestic
conditions, for. while taxes may be
heavy for some years, they will soon
be reduced much below the war
time level; then too, there will be
no more need for buying new is
sues of government bonds, and the
millions of people who are now saw
ing and economizing to buy thrift
stamps and bonds will be free to
purchase the many things they did
before the war.

DOES COW TESTING fAY2

Why bother weighing milk, and
testing milk, and balancing ra
tions? have noted several curl
Gus persons standing off ten feet
or more and carefully observing the
above operations One said, "A
COW will give milk whether 1t be
weighed or not" This thoughtful
remark was received with the same
grace as that of the 6-year-old lad
told me- IF you milk a COW on the
ground, she will go dry" But for
what should man give attention
to each COW? Have the results war
ranted the extra expense?
Let us compare the Arkansas Val
ley Cow Testing association report
of the preceding six months with
the corresponding months OF last
year. The average daily milk prod
uction for each COW during these
months was Is pounds last year
and 1880 pounds this year. Not
much increase, you say. Let us
figure a little. One and eight
The Holly chieftain., 1918-10-03

tenths pounds of milk day means
in the six months an increase for
each COW of 332 pounds. This
amount times the average number
of COWS. being MIXED t415) gives a
total increase of 1892 pounds of
milk. This in turn times the aver
age price ($2.44 per 100 pOundsl
gives $3,362.S5., which is the value OF
the increase in milk flow. The to-
tai cost of the COW testing work in
Guiding the bother is not over
$3.50.
Now, If you readers are not still
tangled up in above figures, you
see with me that in spite of the
difficulties under which we work
ed this summer-scarcity of good
mixers, poor pasture, and the i'm
possibility at times of getting feed
at any price, factors which were
not SO noticeable last summer-the
cow testing association in One-half
ia year has netted it's members at
least twenty-seven hundred dollars
Does that pay?

DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGLAND
Diminishing Food Supply Makes Ca nine Industry Difficult One From
 War Standpoint.

The British government is wrestling with the problem of what to do with dogs, in view of the rapidly diminish ing stocks of food. It seems settled that the number of dogs is to be re- duced. There are hardly any dog bis. cults left, and no more will be manu- factured, as the low-grade flour from which they are made is wanted for the textile trades.
 BOnar Law, chancellor of the ex- chequer, refused to include heavy tax on dogs in his budget, which he in trOduced in the last week of April. His friends said that such tax would kill dog-breeding as an industry, and would work unequally between rich and poor. The poor mans dog would be sacrificed, while the pampered Pekinese would flourish.
 Now the alternative proposal Is to prohibit the breeding of dogs during the war except under license. The eff feet of this would be to allow the per petuatiOn of pedigreed breeds, which have taken many years and large sums of money to produce, and also useful dogs, like sheep dogs and army dogs. The breeding of mongrels and prob ably of purely fancy dogs would be prohibited.
 There will be no interference with people who already have dogs. They will in the future need all their in genuity to keep pets fed.
