Cloves.

Cloves are the dried unexpanded
flower buds of tree. The corolla
forms ball on the top between the
four teeth of the calyx, and the stalk
is the immature ovary. They are at
first green, then turn yellow, and fin
ally bright pink or scarlet. In this
last stage they are ready to be picked.
If allowed to remain longer on the
tree the flowers expand, become fer
tilted, and the stalk of the Glove then
develops into a succulent purple berry
containing one or two seeds. This Is
known technically as the ''mother
Glove"

WARNS AGAINST PERIsCOPEs

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 27-The captain of an American steamship which arrived yesterday said that shipmasters should be very careful before they attempt to ram a U-boat when only the periscope can be seen above the surface of the sea.
 "I was in company" he continued, with the tanker Luz Blanca when she was sunk near Halifax recently and had a narrow escape myself. The submarine, which was apparently one
 of the old 125-foot type, with one gun
 forward and a maximum speed of 14
 knots on the surface, came after my
 ship when it had settled the tanker
 I manoeuvered five or six times at full speed and managed to get clear.
 "When the Hun commander saw that I was going to escape he sub merged. Shortly afterward l sighted | what looked like the periscope of the U-boat on my port bow. From my previous experience in the North Sea l I realized at once that this was a false periseope attached to a fine big mine a few feet below the surface. Had | steered for the periscope my ship would have been blown to pieces. At the present time the U-boats have the advantage over the American coast wise vessels in speed and guns. When all American steamships are equipped with automatic gum fore and aft the submarines will return to their base on the German coast"

BR|TISH-A AMERICAN AIRPLANES WIPE
 OUT GERMAN GUN

Behind British Lines in France, Aug. 2S-(Correspondence of The As sociated Press)-A British-American airplane squadron in a certain section of the front in Northern France won the everlasting gratitude of the civil ian population of little market town in the mining district this week by putting out of action big German gun which had started in to make life miserable for the local inhabitants.
 The gun opened up very suddenly one market day at an hour when the streets were at their busiest With out warning about noon, there was the crash of a terrific explosion in the central square, which by the way was located more than eight miles behind the front line. Other explosions fol- lowed with deadly regularity at inter- vals of ten minutes. The death dealer was high-velocity 15-inch gun of the naval type. It was using shrapnel and casualties among troops and civilians were numerous.
 The task of locating the gun was handed over to the nearby British American afrplane squadron with cer- tain directions as to probabilities | Within a few hours the task was duly accomplished. and photographs were | brought in which showed the position plainly.
 Unfortunately the job of putting the big gun out of action was not so sim pie. Its position was too far back | to be reached by the ordinary coun' l er-battery guns and howitzers, and il happened that there were no long | range guns in the area capable o1 1 dealing with it. To bring such gun: from another part of the lines would mean considerable delay and speed i was vital.
 It was therefore decided that tht 1 big gun must be bombed from air I plane. And well bombed it was, tha very day, by the same squadron whicl i had located 1t. Bombs varying all thu
 way from 20 pounds to 112 pound i each descended upon and around thu
 endorsements. The satisfactory re
 suits were testified by the fact that m J more 15-inch shells have disturbed tn 1 narket-place.

PRESSING NEED OF STENOCRAPHERS
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Aug. 28 - Notwith. standing the fact that thousands ot stenographers and typewriters have been appointed in the government service in Washington, D. C., since our country entered the war, the United States Civil Service Commits sion announces that there is pressing need for several thousand more work CTS of this class. Women especially are urged to offer their services for this office work and thus help in a practical way in the nations great undertaking.
 Entrance salaries range from $1, 900 to $1,200 a year. Most appointments are made at $1,100. Higher salaried positions are usually filled through promotion, original appointments at salaries in excess of $1, 200 being rare.
 Examinations are held every Tues day in $50 cities, and the commission states that an examination will be held in any city, day or night, when there is prospect of assembling a class of as many as three competitors. Eligibility for appointment may be obtained through passing an exam ination in practical rests in shorthand and typewriting, or in typewriting alone It is practical to complete such an examination in one hour. Representatives of the Civil Service Confusion at the post offices in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information to persons interested. The registration office of the Dis trict of Columbia Council of Defense maintains a list of rooms in private homes in Washington which are available to newly appointed govern ment clerks. All rooms are carefully | inspected before being listed. The room registration office states that | the usual charge for rooming accom- | modations with board, that is, the | two principal meals of the day, is l $40 a month. To obtain this rate it l is usually necessary for two persons | to share a room. In addition, the | government is erecting residence
 halls, including restaurants, for the
 use of Federal employees in Washing | ton. It is expected that the first units | will be ready for occupancy by De-
 cember. The room registration office
 states that it is able to provide ac- commodations in the meantime.

FRENCH VILLAGE DESTROYED BY
 BRITISH TANK

London, Aug. 2S-(British Wireless Service)-British tanks uprooted a whole French village to stop the fire of German machine guns from the houses in the recent Allied offensive.
 The French troops had been seri- ously hampered by the German ma chine guns in or on the tops of the houses. Tanks were in the vicinity and a message was sent to them for assistance. These compiled, but the German machine guns were too we'll protected to be knocked out by the fire from the tank guns. Accordingly the tank commanders conferred at the far end of the village and decided, in a hurried impromptu war council, to destroy the village by sheer weight of metal
 The tanks accordingly rammed house after house, bringing down the machine guns, extricating themselves from the ruins of one house, then proceeding to the next. In this way the village was captured without a single British casualty, and at once occupied by the French.
 In another attack a tank was set on fire, the officer in command was kill ed and the first driver severely wound ed, all within the German lines. The second driver extinguished the fire assumed command, and later in the day, drove back single handed, pre- ceded by about 50 Germans, whom he captured unaided.
 Another tank, temporarily knocked out, constituted itself into a strong point inside the German lines, and held out for five hours until the in. fantry arrived.

EF FECT OF LICE
 ON DOMESTIC HOG

The presence of lice on hogs is quite common and the trouble caused by them in many cases Is serious. IT- norance of their presence is no ex- cuse for failure to control them as the species infesting hogs is the larg- est and most common of all lice found on domestic animals. Hog lice are nearly a quarter of an inch long when full grown. They seem to be creation of domestication as the prim- itive wild hog was not afflicted by them. They are blood sucking para sites which multiply rapidly and act as a serious drain upon the hog un- less checked, especially are they harmful to sucking or young pigs. The favorite points of attack are the under surface of the body, the neck and inside the thighs. The lice may be seen travelling among the bristles, particularly at the points just men tioned. The eggs or "nits'' are small, white oval bodies and, by close obser- vation, may be seen attached to the bristles. Disinfectants as a rule do not destroy the vitality of these eggs. | Therefore, a second or third applica- l b4OI 1lldy DS uGCeSSdI u lIS6 uOSS | from lice.
 | Although lice may not be the direct cause of death, still their presence lowers the vitality of the hog and predisposes him to attack from in fectious diseases. In preventing an outbreak of cholera or any other in- fectious disease of hogs it is especially desirable to have the animals in as good physical condition as is possible and of course this is necessary fol most rapid and economical fattening
 Hogs infested with lice usually have rough hair, an irritated skin, are restless, and show an inclination tC rub against posts and other conven- tent objects. It is by means of direct contact or by contact with infected bedding or quarters that this pest is transmitted from one animal to an. other. This makes it advisable to ex. anime all newly purchased stock fol lice and skin diseases before turnins them in with the rest of the herd.
