By James J. Montague.

Though science tells. out OF hand.
That there is not an Indication
That animals can understand
A word of human conversation.
Last night when We cOnyersed about
4 needful substitute for meat.
our little Fido hurried out
And went careering down the street
And when we said that i'm Bombay
A hungry proletariat
Much relishes a consOmme
Whose chief ingredient Is cat,
There was rush across the hoor.
a muftied sound Of feline kissing
And Ta oby bolted through the door
And now is numbered with the

We also said all household pets
W ere works of supererosation
And. though it dlled Us with regrets.
They ought TO help 10 feed the
nation.
And then we heard a scream Of rage
and with a look of blank despair.
The parrot burst his gildcd cage
And quickly went away from there.

VACCINATION FOR SMALLPOX IN CAMP
 AT TAYLOR, KY,

CAMP ZACHARY TAYLOR, Ky. Jan. 11.-A case of smallpox, dis covered in the Three Hundred and Ninth Sanitary Train here, resulted in wholesale vaccinations at the camp and quarantining of the outfit where the disease was discovered A number of truck companies whose men work with the sanitary train also were quarantined. Civil ians found in the immediate vicinity were vaccinated along with the sol diers.
 Surgeons worked overtime innocu lating soldiers in that portion of the camp where the men might have been exposed to the disease.
 Colonel Charles F. Grain, Provost Marshal, began an investigation O. the movement of soldiers back and forth across the Ohio River to lief fersonville and New Albany, Ind. where it is reported soldiers pro. cure liquor with little or no trouble Colonel Grain said he was deter mined to break up the practice.
 Plenty of clothing is on hand for the last quota of 25 per cent. of the drafted men, about 14,000, whc are to arrive at the camp before January 15. Reports to the con trary, it was said at division head quarters, were erroneous.

FOOD LICENSE TAKEN FROM
 NEWPORT NEWS, VA. FIRM

The Food Administration issues he following:
 The United States Food Adminis- ration announces that Lester Broth ITS, wholesale food handlers of New port News, have been deprived of their license and forbidden to deal in any commodities covered by the food control act. They have been ordered to close their doors on De cember 31 The specific complaint brought out in their hearing last Friday was that Lester Brothers had refused consignments of potatoies, al. lowing them to deteriorate in the freight yards and incidentally add Q railroad congestion.
 James A. Ford special attorney for the Food Administration, was the complaints and to represent the Food Administration at the hearing In his report he indicated that Les ter Brothers had been tempted by
  tial foodstuffs, profiting by unusual demands that had arisen on account of war activities in that section. He recommended that their license be revoked.
 Their license, MT Ford reported lad not been secured until after hey had already been under inves- igation. Food Administration records ihow that Lester Brothers were not licensed until December 6.
 One carload of onions they had ordered from Minneapolis firm yas refused after a third person, who had contracted for them in the belief that he could resell to the government, had refused to carry out his part of the contract. Les ter Brothers, according to the inves- tigator, could have disposed of them at a small loss, in spite of the fact that the market had dropped slightly. Rather than shoulder that loss, how ever, they threw them back upon the consignors.
 In another instance it was shown at the hearing, they had refused to accept five carloads of potatoes, they being allowed to spoil. MT. Ford re- ported that Lester Brothers, after once refusing to accept the consign- ment, had changed their decision and agreed to take them, later chang ing again and allowing them to re. main in the cars. This, they claimed was because the railroad company had taken possession of tho goods and refused delivery. The railroad, reported. denied the truth of this statement.

 ELECTRICITY Tunnel Was Driven to Tap a Lake from which the Power Is Se- cured. THRU FROZEN GROUND Special Rates Are Given for Motors of Large

THRU FROZEN GROUND

CH1TINA, Alaska, January D. A forty-five kilowatt hydroelectric plant for light and power in the town of Chitina has just been put in operation. It was built by the owners and operators, O. A. and M. 5. Nelson and has been under con struction for over two years, and represents an outlay of about $22,- 900, which is probably the highest per kilowatt of any plant in the
 world. Among it's distinctive fea- lures is the fact that it is the farthest north of any year-round hydroelectric plant on the conti- nent.
 Adjacent to the town of Chitina is a 3-5 acre lake which is bed by several mild springs that keep the lake from freezing to any consid- erable depth even in the coldest winter. This lake is hundred feet in elevation above the Copper river and separated from it by a ridge. By driving a 1,400 foot tunnel through this ridge the wa ter from the lake is carried over to the Copper river side where it is dropped down hundred feet through two hundred and seventy feet of 16-inch steel pipe.
 The tunnel was the biggest part of the whole proposition. It was driven through nine hundred feet of frozen earth and loose rock and five hundred feet of extremely hard solid rock. The earth and loose rock were thawed with steam points, such as are used in the AL askan placer camps where the per- manent frost, as at Chitina, is few hundred feet deep. The tunnel was timbered to prevent it from caving in where the warm water from the lake has thawed the earth around it. The solid rock was drilled with a power drill, op- erated with compressed air, and blasted out with dynamite. Tony Span deserves a large part of the credit for the successful completion of the tunnel.
 The power plant consists of sev- enty-five horse power Leffel Turbine with automatic Woodward .gover- nor. The turbine which has a speed of 1900 R. P. M. is direct con- nected exciter, making very com pact plant. The generator delivers three-phase alternating current at 2300 volts, which is carried half a mile on a through wire transmission line to the town where it is dis tributed to numerous transformers that step it down to 110-22O volt current.
 The rate for lighting current by meter is 20 cents for the first fifteen kilowatts, seventeen cents for the next ten and fourteen cents for all over that in each month. Special

"KNITTING NERVES" SAID TO BE LATEST
 MALADY FOR 1918

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The new 1918 style in maladies for wom- en, labeled knitting nerves" will not be accepted in Chicago. it was stated today by the women in po- sition to know. .,ut,te...s. $,
 The style originated in New York, where Dr. Louis R. Welz- miller, of the Y. M. c. A. was quoted as having discovered the disease, due to overwork on war knitting, and Dr. P. c. Christ ian, quoted as predicting an epi- demic of knitting nerves"
 Dr. Julia Strawn said, Non sense We give certain cases knit ing in the hospital to quieten their nerves"
 Miss Ina Taft, director of wom- en's work, central division, Red Cross, remarked:
 "Our women are too busy to ret knitting nerves Most of them are now so proficient that they ean read and knit at the same .ime."

rates for motors of larger size. The average rate for current is about IF cents which has to compete with gasoline and kerosene at 60 cents a gallon.
 It was intended to have the plant n operation by October 1, but due 70 strained conditions of factories md transportation the generator could not be delivered on time and
 t was not until December 20th hat the first lights were thrown on. The excessively cold weather through all of December has de- layed things still further
 The plant can supply the present demand for current but will be en- larged when the demand exceeds it's capacity.
