WAR FLOUR IS HARD
 TO KEEP IN THE HEAT
(NeW York Worldl

Flour and meals which contain the outer bran coatings and germ of the grain will not keep so well as when these are removed.
 Special care should be taken of the following products and these should be kept moving or be used as soon as practicable and should not be allowed to accumulate. in the warehouse: Bran, shorts and mddlings, corn products, containing the outer coating and germ, such as water ground corn meal and grits, oats and oat meals, graham and whole wheat Hours, rye flour, barley flour peanut meal and soy bean meal.
 Care should be taken of potatoes as they will rot and begin to sprout in warm weather. If the potatoes begin to sprout, it is well to go over them and remove the sprouts which may easily be done by rubbing. the clean potatoes being transferred into new containers. or by shoveling them over inclines made of 3iinch wire screen- ing. This should have, sufficient bitch to permit the potatoes to roll into another bin. At the same time, any potatoes which have routed may be removed,

WOMAN POWER OF U. S.
 AND THAT OF ENGLAND
(New York Tribune)

In this country we have not yet ex- perienced the terrific pressure that has been felt by England. They started in the war with 1,025,O00 more women than men. We started with 2,000, ,O00 more men than women. In spite of this the census bureau informs us that there are approximately 100000 single women between the ages of fifteen and torty-five, who are not employed and not attending school, and therefore presumably there is large number available for employment.
 Women are to take their places by the side of men in the reconstruction period after the war and therefore women must take their places by the side of men during the war. To place women in industry where there are enough men available and able to do the work would be only to lower the standards we have advocated these many years. We must not encourage the women to take positions which men are ready and able to fill, for this would lower the wage standard. Neither should we encourage volun- teers to take the place of wage earn CTS. thus supplanting their sisters who need the work and are trained to do it.

FORMING A CONVOY
 FOR TROOP VESSELS
Scientific American)

At the head of the convoy is a de- stroyer following this is light cruiser which acts as a flagship. This, in the case of our own navy. is frequently an armored cruiser of the former Colorado or the Tennessee type. Then, astern of the cruiser is a torpedo boat which tows at the end of light, but very strong steel wire, a captive balloon. This craft forms the point of the "V" forma- tion; and behind it are placed the two diverging lines'of merchant ships which follow each other, not bow to stern but disposed diaSonally.
 At the stern of each ship is lowed spar or buoy which serves to tell each succeeding ship how far it is astern of the ship ahead-an absolutely neces- sary precaution at night or in thick weather. Down through the center of the ''F' is line of armed traWlers; and another line steams on the outer side of each column of merchant ships. Slight ly astern of the convoy and at about the center of the base of the "V" is a destroyer or torpedo boat which tows another observation balloon. Finally, to complete the protection, several de- strOyers steam in a Zigzag course well out on each wing of the convoy
 The efficiency of tho system was re- gently alluded to by Sir Eric Geddes in the house of commons. He stated that
 one result of the convoy system has been to drive the enemy closer to the shore, thus rendering the open sea safer for navigation. During the first months i of the unrestricted submarine war 50 | per cent of the losses (of merchant
 ships) occurred more than fifty miles l from land, and only 21 per cent within
 10 miles of the shore.
 Today the losses outside the 50- mile
 limit have fallen to per cent, while the
 losses close to land have risen to 61 per
 cent This transfer of attacks nearer
 the coast gives increasing opportunities
 for attacking the enemy by patrolling surface crafts and airplanes, and en-
 ables us to save many vessels which
 otherwise would have been lost.
