Protein and Its Value.

Every farmer knows that nitrogen is
one of the chemical elements which
neither his crops nor his stock can do
without. The same Is true Of nitrogen
in human food. 1t is absolutely nee
essary for the building and repair Of
body tissues and can be obtained only
from the food substance or nutrient
known as protein.
The foods usually classed as rich In
protein are milk, cheese, eggs, meat,
poultry and fish; dried legumes, such
as peas, beans, cowpeas, soy beans
and peanuts. Wheat, oats and some
other cereals also furnish considerable
protein.
A man at moderate muscular work
is believed to need about three and
one-half ounces of protein Gay, and
family consisting Of father, mother
and three small children needs about
twelve ounces day. Real economy
in the use Of protein foods lies not in
leaving them out of the diet, but in
choosing and combining kinds which
will supply the total amount needed
as cheaply as circumstances permit.

anyone else. There are plenty of
pretty bags that are more simply made
of materials that are seasonable all
the year round. This particular bag
suggests ways Of using materials one
may have on hand-for millinery is
often discarded before it shows signs
of wear.
1t does not make much difference
what hats and bags are made Of SO
long as they are pretty and cleverly
made. What is called. the "cnlico
vogue" has introduced calico, bingham,
cotton crepe, percale and other cottons
into the making of extra hats for mid
summer. They might all be classed as
garden hats-but, like sport hats,
they go everywhere.
And everywhere is just the place to
find knitting bags-anyone who can
use a needle can own one Of these
matched sets. Silk cords and tassels,
narrow silk fringes and narrow lin
gerie laces-the old-fashioned ric-rac
braid and hand-crocheted edges are all
appropriately used with these smart
inexpensive, wartime novelties

For the garuen party and all the

made. They all take cognizance Of
the fact that everywhere the lady goes

thoroughly:
Water-tight floors in stables, of con-
crete or masonry, prevent egg devel-
opment.
Horse manure should be kept in fly
tight pits or bins, equipped wherever
possible with fytraps. Manure should
be removed frequently, not less FREE
quently than twice week during the
summer months.
In rural and suburban districts sta
bic manure should be removed every
morning and hauled out at once and
spread rather thinly on the fields, not
only to prevent development of fly
eggs. but to get the maximum fertiliz-
ing value.

number of horses and stables with the

mobiles, the time may not be far
away, according to department special
lists, when window screens may be dis

Embroidery Now the Thing.

That beaded trimming is rapidly Civ
ing way to embroidery seems to be a
fashion tendency beyond dispute. It
is said that one reason why the metal
lie bead effect became so popular In
Paris and later in America season or
so ago was because 1t was possible to
make use Of metal filings and scrapings
from munitions works for much Of this
trimming. But for some reason very
little metal trimming Is coming into
this country now and beads are scarce.
Embroidery Is entirely within the
bounds of things available. Hence the
new dresses will SHOW embroidery
rather than beads. It has been said
that there is an end to so-called
Oriental and ecclesiastical embroider.

petty larceny the offense Of stealing
lamps, speedometers, tires and other
paraphernalia from motorcars In tran
sit on railroad cars has been made a
federal matter and an offense which
Is punishable by maximum penalty
of ten years Imprisonment. Through

OLD TIRES QUITE VALUABLE
Possible to Get Ten Blowout Patches
From Wornout casing-How
They Are Made.

The average owner has formed the
habit of disposing Of old tires for
few cents and is not aware of the
fact that the casing can be utilized
for making blowout patches for the
inside of casing. These homemade
patches serve even better than the
cheap ones sold at supply stores. The
patch is made simply by ripping of
the tread and one or two layers of
fabric. The thickness of the patch
should be equal to about two or three
layers Of fabricj and Of course cut to
the right length. It is possible to get
ten blowout patches from WORKOUT
casing which probably would bring
dollar or so from the junkman.

LAWS ON STORING GASOLINE
Before Installing Underground System
Car Owner Should Make Careful
Study Of Matter.

Before making arrangements for In
stalling an underground gasoline stor-
age system, the car owner should look
well to his local and state laws. In
many places it is necessary to vent
the tank so that the vent pipe comes
within given distance of the roof Of
the building. Some laws make 1t nee
essary to have the tank located a
given distance from the house, and If
this is not complied with certain rules
regarding venting must be met. Ex-
anime all phases Of the matter care

National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce Makes Appeal to
Various Governors.
OVERLAND DELIVERY OF CARS
Manufacturers and Dealers Relieve
Congestion by Delivering Ma
chimes Under Their Own Power
Federal Law Urged.

Governors OF the different states,
who are in all cases at the head Of the
various state councils Of defense, will
be asked by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce to request local
authorities not to interfere with the
overland delivery Of new automobiles
and motor trucks from the factories to
dealers.
The manufacturers and dealers are
relieving railroad freight congestion by
delivering new cars under their own
power instead Of shipping them by rail.
Thirty-three per cent Of the production
OF eight Of the larger automobile man
ufacturers was delivered over the high
ways during the first three months
this year. The number Of machines
driven away was $500, which relieved
the railroads to the extent Of about
10000 freight cars. With a probable
production Of 1000. 900 motor vehicles
this year, the total saving In railroad
cars by this method will amount to
about $1,000 cars.
Demand State License.
Considerable trouble has been caused
by local officials, who insist every car
In the driveway strings" shall carry
q state license plate, and sometimes
that each driver shall have state op-
orators license. Owing to lack Of
uniformity in the state motor vehicle
laws, full compliance with require
ments in one state is not held to be
sufficient in some other states, and
much delay, annoyance and additional
expense have resulted needlessly.
The N. A..C. G. has taken this matter
up with the director general Of rail-
roads, with the secretary Of war as
chairman Of the council Of national de-
Tense, and with the secretary Of COM
merce as member Of the council. It
Is also preparing definite plan to Of
fer to the governors whereby motor
vehicles in transit may be allowed to
proceed to destination without interfer-
ence over the question Of license.
Purpose Of License Plate.
When the motor vehicle laws were en-
acted, no such shipping situation as
T.
now exists was foreseen and no provi-
sion was made for the delivery Of mo-
tor-cars by highway. The purpose Of
license plates Is to identity the car
and Its ownership In case Of accident
or infraction Of operating regulations.
and where string Of drive-away cars
remains together and the cars carry
improvised duplicates of the manufac-
turer's or dealers license plate, such
Identification Is sufficiently establish.
ed for the purpose.
Many manufacturers and dealers are
urging the enactment by congress Of
federal license law which will sweep
away the lack Of uniformity In the
state laws that are now interfering
with this form Of interstate commerce.

NURSES ENROLL
IN u. S. SERVICE
CAMPAIGN TO ENLIST WOMEN
WILL CONTINUE THIS
WEEK

The Pacific division of the Amer
lear Red Cross has extended it's
drive for nurses to continue
throughout the week, according to
the announcement made by Miss
Lillian l.. White, director of the
bureau of nursing for the division.
Originally the drive, which
started June 3, was to have contin-
ued for a period of 10 days, but it
is evident that that time will not
be sufficient to enroll the quota of
61O nurses allotted for the divis-
ion.
There seems to be a question on
the part of many nurse as to
whether they will have the same
standing by enrolling through the
Red Cross as they would have. if
they enrolled directly with the
army and navy.
Surgeons General Gorgas of the
army and BREASTED of the navy
have asked the Red Cross to enroll
these nurses. They will be a part
of the army and navy forces and
come under army and navy regula-
lions. The enrolment was put
into the hands of the American
Red Cross because it was thought
that organization was better
equipped to get the desired re-
suits in the shortest possible time.
If the Pacific division is to go over
the top, as it has done on every
occasion in the past, 1t will be
necessary for nurses to file their en-
rollment applications before next
Saturday.
