WHEN A KNOT is NOT SOUND
American Society for Testing Materials
Defines Various Kinds Of De-
fects In Wood.

The American Society for Testing
Materials has been wrestling with the
problem of defining knot, found in
wood.
Briefly, knot may be defined as a
part of wood that differs in texture as
a part of growth from normal. What
is known as a sound knot is one which
is just as solid or sound across its
face as the wood surrounding it. :
An encased knot is one whose
growth rings are lot interviewer with
the growth rings of the wood surround
ing it; but If it is sound or tight
knot it will be held tightly by the en-
casing wood around 1t. A water-tight
knot is one which is completely inter-
woven with the surrounding wood on
at least one face Of the lumber. A
loose knot is one not held firmly in
place by the surrounding wood. An
unsound knot is one that is not as
hard as the wood surrounding 1t, or
ione that has hole in it.

MEMORIAL is LONG DELAYED
Shaft in Honor Of French chevalier
Erected 139 Years After Provision
Was Made for II.

The memorial shaft in front Of
Kings chapel, Boston, has history of
special interest, says the Youths Com
panion. 1t was erected in memory of
the Chevalier de Saint-Sauveur, who is
buried in the crypt Of the chapel, but
1t was not put up until 139 years after
the general court Of Massachusetts
had passed the resolution providing for
1t. The Chevalier de Saint-Sauveur
was an officer in the French fleet that,
under command of Count d'Estaing,
arrived in Boston harbor in August,
ITS. One evening when he was ashore
he was killed In a riot that took place
near a bakery established to provide
bread for the sailors Of the feet.
The local authorities were much
alarmed lest his death should cause
bad feeling at time when the friend
ship and aid of France were much de-
sired. After his burial beneath Kings
chapel, the general court voted to erect
q monument to his memory. An in
sscription was prepared and commit
tee was named to attend to the matter
of ordering the stone. For some rea-
son the committee neglected to do its
duty-it will be recalled that the war
of independence was at it's height
and a century and quarter passed
before students of history brought the
matter before the general court. At
last, in 1915, through the efforts Of the
Bostonian society, the general court
made the necessary appropriation and
lin due time the monument was made
and put in place. The monument bears
THE French inscription prepared in
l177S, which recites in detail the story
|of the young officers death.

ofsen Destroyed by Fire.

Time after time, together with the
rest Of the city Of Moscow, the Krem.
lin has been burned, the last occasion
being in 1872 when 1t was occupied
by Napoleon and the inhabitants Of
the city themselves started the con-
flagratjcns in all parts Of the city. 1t
was Indeed these fires which forced
the little corporal to commerce his
disastrous retreat across the snow
bound steppes of Russia. Napoleon
had his headquarters in the Kremlin,
and while the flames were not so de-
structive there as in other parts Of the
city, yet they forced evacuation.

Nova Scotia's Fish Army.

Nova Scotia Is literally 'the land of
fish"-cod, herring, mackerel and the
giant albacore or tuna. Nova Scotia
is so much land of fish, says writer,
that it produces over one-fourth the
value of the entire Canadian catch, or
50, 1Ge,S51 worth. Every tiny haven
around the extensive Bluenose Land
coas. harbors fishing smacks galore,
while Ldnenburg, Canso, Liverpool
and Chester are home ports for hun
dreds of fleet-winged deep-sea banking
schooners.

Buds and Flowers in COOKING.

The French Canadians are said to
use the acid flowers of the redbud, or
Judas tree, in salads, while the buds
and tender pods are packed in vine
gar. Honey locust pods, often locally
called "honey-shucks," contain a sweet
ish, thick, cheeselike pulp, which is
often eaten. Those of the mesquite
furnish the Mexicans and Indians
with nutritious food. The Creoles
of Louisiana, famous for their cook

Rules Only for the Weak.

1t is one Of the weaknesses of man
kind that 1t is forever establishing
tales, programs, formulate. They serve
their purposes for the guidance of or
binary minds. But the pioneers of
thought rid rough-shod through the
rulers. They gain the ends they desire
by refusing to be directed by what
someone else has thought before them,
by what teachers have insisted upon
as MISUNDERSTANDING.

Fishing in Samoan seas IL often done
by the women, and without nets, boats
or hooks They simply wade into the
wafer and form themselves into ring.
The fishes being so plentiful, they are
almost sure to imprison some in the
ring. These women are very quick and

fish with their hands they simply throw
It. alive, into the basket ON their back.

BOYS AND GIRLS
TO AID IN UNITED WAR
WORK CAMPAIGN

Opportunity is being given to ev-
cry girl and every boy in Oklahoma
to take part in the United War
Work campaign. With the slogans
of Every Girl Pulling For Vic
tory and "A Million Boys Behind
a Million Fighters" the youngsters
are being organized all over the
country.
1t is hoped TO enroll at least 10000
girls and as many boys in Oklaho-
ma. Each OF them is being asked TO
earn and give at least S. to the Unit
ed War Work Campaign fund. Some
of them have already started and the
work is being explained by girls and
boys leaders all over the state. The
county demonstration agents are
are giving inestimable help to the
campaign in many places.
District No IS, composed OF Creek
Lincoln, Okfuskee and Okmulgee
counties. is ahead OF all others in
organization of Victory Girls. A
leader has been secured in every
town in these four counties and the
girls are already many OF them, out
earning their money. The organi-
cation OF Victory Boys is also max
ing good progress. Hugh c. Leggat
is in charge OF the Victory Boys
movement and Miss Alice Reynolds
of the Victory Girls. Their offices
are at 225 II West First street, Ok
lahoma City.
Some OF the ways suggested by
which girls can earn money are car
ing for children, washing dishes,
cleaning silver, knitting, mending,
running errands, backing shoes
making simple garments for sale, the
sale of Christmas cards, gathering
of nuts and creatin a self-denial fund
