Women Planners Ct Homes.

Women folks are taking an active
hand in the affairs of the world today
more than ever before. 1t is quite Of
ten the case that the building of new
home is left largely in the hands of
its mistress.
There are several good and practical
reasons for such an arrangement. In
the first place, the woman does or
should spend more time in the house
than her husband. 1t Is her duty and
most always her pleasure to keep the
inside Of the house in order. She is usu-
ally a closer observer iii such matters
and n5"rly always has better taste

Amsterdam.-The Germans have no.

lands, which mean to Sweden what
Heigoland means to Germany. The
Germans have begun occupation of
these strategically highly important
isles, with the object of holding them
Doth as a threat and potential pawn
in their future dealings with tbe most
powerful of the Scandinavian king
doms.
occupation by a foreign power of
The Aland isles means the virtual hot
Ting up of the Bothnian gulf and
thereby the cutting off of the two
northern thirds of Sweden's east coast.
AT this particular season, the menace
TO Sweden is doubly great, because of
the Ice connection. The largest island
lies less than twenty-five miles from
the Swedish coast and only seventy
one miles from Stockholm, the king
dom's capital
AT the same time, it is pointed out,
the Germans by Selling these islands,
complete their strangle hold upon the
hottle-up Russian feet in the Gulf of
Finland and their control of Finland
itself.
Berlin's Excuse

guards is given by Berlin as the rea-
son for the seizure, which Germany
asserts in note to Sweden, will only
be provisional" The Firms them
selves, the note declares, urgently APP
pealed for this "rescue"
Sweden. in a highly diplomatic note
to the powers, does not commit her
self as opposing the German action,
but points out that certain important
objections and dangers have been en-
phasized to the Berlin government in
-eply to the German announcement.
Germany's announced plan to ire

menace to Petrograd's flank, and to
Russia's access to the White sea as
well since the German northward dash
across Finland to Archangel is regard
ed here as entirely likely to be part OF
the program.
Meanwhile Russia and Germany are
at peace-but only technically. The
Russian delegation at Brest Litovsl
has signed the German conditions
though in doing so, announced that il
was surrender by eXtortion by the
force of arms. Krylenko has ordered
the Red guards to cease fighting, but to
remain at the front. Germany has
halted her operations in Russia, but
against Finland and in the Ukraine.

TAKES PLACE OF GASOLINE
Mixture Of Alcohol and BenzoI Has
Been Found to Be Satisfac-
tory Substitute.

The high cost Of gasoline is becom-,
ing such problem that governments
and scientists all over the world have
attempted to find substitute. In Ger,
many, where gasoline Is almost unob-
tainable, it Is understood that a new
mixture Of alcohol and benzol has
proved satisfactory. A writer in the
Scientific American gives the following
table as an indication of the results
achieved:
With one part benzol and one part
alcohol touring car equipped with an
ordinary carburetor made AZ miles an
hour and ran distance of 4.66 miles
upon one pint Of the fuel. With one
part benzol and two parts alcohol the
speed was Al miles and the distance
covered All miles. This shaded down
TO SO miles an hour and 3,72 miles on
n mixture Of one part benzol and five
parts alcohol.
The same car, operated with pure
benzol, acquired a speed of AZ miles an
hour and ran a distance of $40 upon
one pint Of fuel. With pure gasoline
1t made Al miles an hour. running $3.50
miles.
Alcohol Is easily obtainable, and ben
zol in large quantities is now being dis
titled in both the United States and
Germany from coal tar. So the mix
ture, rs worked out by the Germans,
can be had cheaper than gasoline, and
the results are almost as good. In the
case of Germany, the discovery has
been boon of inestimable value.

NESTS FOR SITTING HENS.

Where only a few hens are set
; special quarters are not neces-
sary, but if many are used
) separate room should be provid-
ed. If portable nests have been
; provided for the laying hens, the
Sitters can be moved in them to
new quarters. OF the various
, styles of nests used for sitting
hens this one has given good sat
isfaction: A box Is inches
square, 10 inches high with a
board six inches high in front
to prevent nesting material from
) falling out. The nests may be
arranged in tiers with a hinge
front which makes a platform
for each tier when open. When
using a bank of nests as the one
just described, 1t would be well
to place three or four inches Of
damp earth in each nest. The
nesting material is next put in
and may consist of hay, chaff, or
straw. Pack this material down
firmly and shape a circular nest
out of it, which should be slight
ly deeper at the center than at
the edges, as a nest so shaped
will prevent the eggs from roll
ing out from under the hen and
becoming chilled.

Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1918-08-24

under the new draft regulations Mr.. Baker
has given the impression, through contradic-
tory interpretations, that he is not quite sure
just where he does stand; and this element of
uncertainty may be the cue for a discussion.
But there is very little real difference Of opin-
ion possible, it seems to us The deciding fac
tor should be that of dependency Marriage
in itself offers no defense for exemption; if it
did (and there are figures to bear out the argu-
ment) there would be wild rush on the part
of Some of the new elgibes for marriage
Where there are dependents due to marriage
or in the case Of other bona fide dependents
deferred classification is deserved. The new
limits will provide sufficient men free of Deepen
dents to meet the future calls, if the War De-
partment's plans are we'll laid; and it would
seem unwise to complicate matters further by
calling to the colors men whose going would in
crease the burdens Of the Government and COM
munity unnecessarily. 1t goes without saying,
of course, that cases of married men who fail to
support their dependents are proper places for
the draft; dependents means actual support
of those claiming dependence.
We feel sure that Congress will take this
view of the question. It gives to those who are
able to 60 without disturbing unnecessarily the
economic balance of the homes the duty of ac-
tive military service in the field and in the off
ces. That is the spirit Of the law, as we under
stand it.

The war has stimulated the production of all

for contributing to essential, and only essential,
