FEAR GLASS-EYE FAMINE
Shortage Of Glass Blowers Produces
Situation That ls Really
Alarming.

Denver, Colo. - Wanted: Skilled
glass blowers who can make glass eyes.
There are only three persons in the
United States who make glass eyes,
according to Aaron Kohler, one Of the
three, who has his shop in Denver.
At the beginning of the world war,
one person out of every 200 in the
world wore a glass eye, Kohler de-
cares. Since the war the ratio has
increased, and Kohler doesn't attempt
to say what the proposition Is to-
day. But he does say the demand is
so far in excess of the supply that 1t
will be generation before "the
trade" has caught up with its orders.
And, inasmuch as the average life"
Of a glass eye is only one year, the
situation Is really alarming.
Glass-eye making is an art practiced
mostly in Europe.

British Aviator of twenty-five Is
the Most Successful Of
Air Fighters.

Captain Mccudden Wins the Victoria
Cross and About Every other Honor
His Government Can Bestow
for Gallantry.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES flying men or
men interested in flying meet today, be
1t in Britain or ut the British front~in
France, there Is only one name on
their lips. 1t Is that of Capt. James
Byford McCudden, who has just been
awarded the Victoria cross, the most
honorable decoration that British
valor can win, and who, in receiving
It, has been officially revealed as the
greatest and most successful air
fighter living or dead, that the allies

den, who is only twenty-five, has big

down than Bishop. Guynemer or Ball,
or any other flying man that the war
has brought forward, with the single
exception of Baron Won Richthofen,
who recently was killed in action.
McCudden's record Of hostile ma

81 was "a. OF these AZ were definitely
destroyed-four of them In just 30
minutes, 10 falling on the British side
of the lines. Only IL out Of the 54

No wonder that, in recounting the
feats of the young British champion,
even the writer's of the sober Official
Gazette are inspired to use the Ian
guage of enthusiastic admiration. They
tell us that Second Lieut.. Temporary
Captain) James Byford McCudden

TONGUE CUT OUT BY HUNS
American Doctor Sends Message to
Family Written Under Stamp
on Envelope.

Auburn, Neb.-Just before Doctor
Wilkie, a well-known physician Of
this city. went to war he told relatives
that If he was ever captured by the
Germans he would communicate with
them. and that they must look under
the postage stamp to get the real condi-
ditions If harm befell him.
A few days ago the family received
a letter from him. written from a Ger
man prison camp. 1t was the stereo-
typed message, saying he was well,
etc. Much of 1t was deleted by the
censor.
The letter was laid aside until some
one remembered what the doctor had
said about message under the stamp.
The stamp was carefully removed. Un-
der 1t he had written these words:

Is to set about saving more food to
send In its place. There should al
ways be food enough on the docks for
speedy shipping as fast as ships are
available. The only way to make this
possible Is by steady saving.
The sending of wheat during 1917
was made easier because of the sur
plus on hand from 1915.
When the time for cutting the 1918
crop comes there will be no surplus
from 1917 to draw on. America had
already used up her surplus by Deem
Der of last year and what has been
sent since represents the savings of
tho people throughout the country.
The average total export of wheat
and wheat flour to the three principal
allies has been about 100000 BUSH
els per year since 1914.
Cereals are the most vital Of the
food needs abroad. They not only
yield the most protein but they also
furnish more than twice the calories
of any other food product.
The burden of the cereal supply
rests with America. War cannot last
beyond the time when production and
saving fail to keep pace with consump-
ton and destruction. 1t Is nip and

Washington.-It is now nip and tuck
with the worlds food supply. Only
steady and constant program of con-
servation on the part Of America will
enable her to sustain the food flow to
her associates In this war.
Germany is not only keeping her
people fed but she is still interfering
with the normal flow of food ship
