The time to think Of graduation
frocks is fast advancing and this year
will probably see the nearest approach.
to uniforms that there has eve been.
The reason, Of course. being ar
time economy. Although many
schools and colleges are adopting
plain white skirts and blouses. or
white MILDLY suits, there really is no
occasion, even for economy's sake,
to make the graduation frock into a
uniform.
There are only two laws which
should be made by any school fac
ulty. First the color, white. might
readily be dictated, and next, the style,

BEER, THE WASTER
An Ohio Man Gives Facts Regarding
SUPPLIES Used in Production.

Supplies USED IN froouCtIon.
From data at hand the coal con-
sumed by brewers in Ohio in the year
1917 WIS $4,000 tons. There were
4,s3S.TlU barrels of beer brcwcd. II
it bc conceded that beer is not u nee
cssity, then this vast amount of
coal WAS uSclesSly consumed.
The office of the fuel administra
tor of Ohio reports that it took Il
pound OF coal To brew every pint OF
beer in 1917. This means l,2OO,oOO,-
600 pints of beer. and at the average
retail price of eight cents Il pint paid
by the consumer would mean $96.OOO,-
900 paid out in 1917 for a virtually
useless beverage in Ohio alone.
In addition To the enormous quanti-
ty of coal consumed in this useless
luxury, we must take into considera-
ton that its effect upon the coal
miners efficiency greatly decreases
production in the mines Then we may
add the decrease in transportation IA
cilitics because of the space required
TO carry the product and supplies.
We find from the latest t:port on
| food conservation from Germany that
no beer can be brcwcd anywhere IN
the empire after April |. 1918. for anu
during the period of the war. Ger

ception), directly or indirectly, and

The great amount of grain brewcd

PRECAUTIONS IN THE AIR
What German Experience Has Taught
Her Aviators.

Alcohol IN regarded by the chiefs OF
the German aviation service as an
enemy to he avoided by lighting men.
and its consumption IL strongly dis
cOuntenanccd in an advisory circular
issued by the general In command OF
the flying corps. This document which
has Just come into the hands OF cor
respondent Of the Associated Press.
asserts that alcohol is a bad heat
producer whose effects are very fugi-
tive and its consumption may pro-
duce fatal results to an aviator flying
at high attitudes.
Other recommendations considered
essential TO the efficiency Of the fly
ing man advise him not to wash his
hands and face nor shave just before
flight.
On alighting after voyage through
the air the aviator IL told to wipe his
face and hands first with dry cloth
and then to bathe them several times
alternate, first In cold water and then
| in hot water.
The document is extremely detailed
in It's advice as to clothing and gen
eral preparation for flight. It tells
the airman to wear woolen or silk un-
derclothing, while his outer garments
should be of wool thickly lined with
| fur or wadding. An aviation suit OF
leather ovcralls should cover every
thing. None OF the clothing should he
tight fitting and IL possible sweat
er should he worn.
As to legs and feet, which are parts
OF the body most apt to suffer from
cold. the undcrclothing should be OF
wool or silk and the airman should
wear two pairs OF woolcn stockings be-
tween which should be inserted
thickness OF paper. Over these should
be worn a pair Of fur or camel hair
socks, and the whole covered with q
pair Of large size leather high boots
lined with fur or wadded wool.
For the protection OF the hands they
should be well rubbed with q protec-
tive anhydric ointment. over which
should be worn large sized but light
woolen or silk gloves and then another
pair Of leather gloves lined with fur
or wadded wool.
The face should also he rubbed with
the same protective ointment as used
on the hands. A woolen or silken cap
covering the head. ears and neck az
well as the greater part OF the face
should first be put on and over this a
leather mask lined with silk or one OF
canvas. Between the two head-cover-
ings there should be inserted several
thicknesses Of paper and over every
thing a thick leather helmet. Goggles
must always be worn and attached to
them protectors for the forehead and
cheeks. while 1t Is advisable also to
wear q thick woolen scarf for the bet
ter protection Of the chin and throat
