JOHN J. ROSS.

The public is divided into two classes. There are those who because they read newspapers know that they could not do without newspapers, aud those who, because they do not read newspapers, are too ignorant to know that to intelligent persons a newspaper is necessity.

The American Face.

The face Of the pure American
stocks generally is high. and oval, says
Doctor Hrdlicka, who explains that in
the case of the womenfolk 1t some
times leaves the impression of narrow
ness. In both sexes he found the fore
head well developed, and incidentally
source Of pride to many who ac-
cepted this as a physical mark of In
tellectuality. There was prevalence
of long noses with medium breadth.
In both sexes was found a medium
breadth of mouth, ITS averages ap-
proximating those Of the French.
The old American is likewise dis
tinguished by long ears, longer than
those of any of the immigrants at Ellis
island except the British. Doctor
Hrdlicka says the face of the original
Americans has retained its length In
the last generations, but its breadth
is diminishing and the jaws are grow.
ing smaller.

Warship Captain Lonely, Yet
Rules With Autocratic Sway

Tradition and the exigencies of his
position impose lonely sort of exist
ence on the captain Of warship, says
the London Mail. Amid the dense pop
ulation of the floating steel island over
which he rules with autocratic sway
the captain lives life Of solitude.
Other officers. according to their
rank. may enjoy the good comradeship
Of the wardroom or the merry round
of the care-free, fear-free, irresponsi-
BILE gunroom. But for the captain these
are things Of the past. In his apart
ments astern he lives in almost royal
isolation, with a sentry "on the door,"
and surrounded by such difficulties of
approach as hedge about king.
Within certain limits he is a king
more autOcratic in his tiny realm than
are many monarchs who wear their
crowns ashore. Part of the quarter
deck is his royal plaisance. In harbor
the starboard side, at sea the weather
side Of 1t. are reserved for him by ages
old custom. No one else may tread

Council Of National Defense.

The Council Of National Defense
was created under an act Of congress
passed August 20, 1916, and the same
act provided for the creation Of an
advisory commission Of seven to act
with, under and by the authority Of
the council. By the terms Of the act
this council, with the Coordination OF
industries and resources for the ma
tional security and welfare" and with
the "creation Of relations which will
render possible In the time of need the

ton of the resources Of the nation"
The main body, or central council Of
defense at Washington. consists Of the
secretaries of war, navy, interior, ag-
riculture, commerce and labor. The
advisory commission consists of rail-
road presidents, financiers, manufac-
turers, educators and specialists In
particular lines. The board acts as q
clearing house for the war industry

determine the most effective ways of
meeting them, and the best means and
methods of increasing production. In

A new and very handsome devel-
opment of the tunic appears in this
unusual dress of grey satin, trimmed
with bands of sealsl1n. If ever any
frock was designed, versatile enough
to play a greater number of roles In
the days drama, the memory of the
fashion writer fails to recall it. Here
is a costume, with a detachable collar
of fur, which needs only a touch to
make it quite in place on the street,
at dinner, at almost any place that the
rounds of the day will carry its wearer.
The tunic and over-bodice in one
look like one of those slip-over affairs
that appear in dresses and blouses and
sweaters of approved style. In reality
it fastens at the left side, with snap
fasteners under a knot of satin-cov-
cred cord at the waistline. The de-
sign is SO simple as to hardly need
description, which is one sure sign
that it is the product Of a genius. Who
ever is to be credited with it welded

ingenious DeTenSe SCneme
Was Fortification of Coast
To Derange Ships Compasses

One of the most Unique defensive
measures ever proposed to the United
States government was the fortifica-
tion Of the coast with giant magnets
that would derange the compass of
any hostile ship that might attempt
a surprise attack, says writer. That
was back In the nineties, and as the
suggestion came from a well-knOwn
officer Of the engineer corps it was
decided to test the theory. According
~ huge magnet was built near New
York city, by means Of two cannon, a
ton Of steel rails and few miles of
insulated wire. The rails were laid
across the butt of the cannon to "con-
meet" them and the wire was wound
about their firing end. When the cur
rent from big dynamo was turned in
to this magnet it developed surprising
power.
Although 1t would not draw the nails
out Of passing ships. as the lode stone
mountain did to the vessel of Sinbad
the Sailor, 1t was guaranteed by it's
inventor to disarrange the compass of
any ship within six miles. If the coast
was ever attacked by an enemy fleet
under cover OF darkness or fog, this
officer argued. the magnet would so
completely upset the compasses of the
enemy that his ships would be more
likely to run ashore than to make a
successful attack.
Records are unobtainable of just
how far this assertion was borne out
by the experiment. In any event, the
magnet was built and remained intact
for some time. But there was no at
tempt to extend the plan, and ulti-
mately 1t went into the discard, thus
marking the end Of an ingenious
scheme which seemed to have some re-
markable possibilities.

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 9
Real Houses Are Best.

Real houses for poultry are best.
Make-shift affairs for the fowls sell
dom produce results.
Certain requirements are necessary,
even though the poultry house is
made of old boxes.
Raising poultry is only successful
when natural conditions are provided
for as nearly as possible.
Such conditions are readily, provid-
ed by the poultryman who desires to
make poultry-keeping pay.
When planning the poultry house it
is advisable to consider the essentials
required for the promotion of the
fowls health under sanitary and COM
Portable conditions.
The poultry house should be SIM
pie in construction, and economically
arranged for performing the work
necessary in handling a flock of poul-
try.
Some of the important essentials
for planning the poultry house is abso-
lutte dryness. ample light, with the nee
essary ventilation
The comfort of the fowls must al
ways be carefully considered in the
construction of the poultry house.
Without comfort and ease Of at
tending the fowls, as regards santa
stion and healthfulness, there is little
need of going farther in the busi-
ness.
Poultry do not require expensive
equipment or artificial conditions, but
rather to the contrary.
When the poultry house is made
plain, substantial, and equipped with
interior fittings that will afford easy
cleaning for keeping out vermin, the
plan is good one.
The size of a poultry house is a
builder, according to the space and
the system adopted.
But there are certain rules that
should govern the breeder when plan
ming his poultry house that must be
observed.
When fowls are to be confined they
need more floor space than when they
are permitted to range.
-Four square feet per fowl is con-
sidered ample space under ordinary
conditions, and less space may be ad-
vantageous when fowls are free to
range.
The width of houses should never
be narrow for their length, and II
feet In width is much better and cheap
er than narrow house.
A house 20 by 25 feet will accom-
modate. 100 fowls nicely, when ample
yard space is allowed

The underdress is plain slip Of the
satin with rather close-fitting coat
sleeves. The neck Is split to form a
V-shaped opening with turned-back
revers. The girdle Is merely a cable
cord, covered with satin, so smoothly
that it bespeaks an expert needle wom-
ans work. 1t defines the waistline
loosely and Is held in just the right
position with the simplest Of knots at
each side than In front, where 1t loops
over. The balls of seal-skin make q
perfect finish for the long ends.
In tan or taupe or gray, or in dark
shades of other fashionable colors, this
model will prove itself an asset In the
wardrobe of any woman, and especial
ly useful to her who wants to make
one dress answer the purposes Of two
or three. Besides this 1t Is delight
to the woman Of discriminating taste
who will appreciate its distinction.
Satin and seal-skin do not need elab-
oration.
