baby Incubator which Dr. Fleming
had made some time ago and which
while not Just as modern as It might
be. has so far answered the purpose
very well. Would you not be glad to

The elvator at the hospital has
been changed during the time since
this institution became the property
OF the city. It was thought at the
time of the FIRE two years ago that
a five hundred volt current from the
trolley. line might have had some
thing to do with starting the fire. The
elevator has a complete new equip
ment at present and new motor. In
fact, everything but the cage has been
changed. The direct current OF cleo
tricity was changed to an alternating
current
were bought new under the direct Pm
of the woman's Auxiliary. Some OF
the old mattresses were burnt. some
of the old bed frames were disposed
of to the junk man-some discarded
entirely as refuse and few were
refnished and used where possible.
The majority of them. however. are
new as one can readily recognize who
visited the hospital just few years
ago. One OF the big troubles this
winter is going to be the caring prop
er1y for patients under possible gas
shortage again. Just now this ques-
ton is being gone into Thoroughly.

Former School Teachers
Asked To Fill Ranks
Depleted by War Call

The Bureau of Education states that
Commissioner of Education ClaXton
is now appealing to the patriotism of
former school teachers to fill the
ranks of the teaching profession de-
pleted by the war, and to school and
state authorities to repeal the existing
laws which prohibit married women
from teaching in the public schools.
The following statement is author
lied by the Commissioner:
From every part of the country
come reports of large numbers of
teachers leaving the schools of coun-
ty and city to enter some branch of the
military service of the country of to
engage in clerical, commercial or IN
dustrial occupations at salaries much
larger than those received as teachers.
Reports from normal schools indi-
cate that numbers of students gradual
ed from them this spring will be less
than last year. Unless something can
be done to relieve the situation the
places of many trained and experience
ed teachers will be taken by young

submarine detectors that can
spot the enemy's U boats more

A SHOWDOWN OR A
BLUFF?

N S Germany to stake all on
an attempt to whip the al
lies on the western front
or is the offensive started
Thursday a move to cover acti-
vity in another direction. The
American strategists at Wash
ington are inclined to the lat
ter view. There is some rea-
son for their view. Germany
would risk grave disaster
should it place all faith in a
west front offensive and fail to
land. For a long time the Teu-
ton plan has been to strike at
weak countries, rather than at
the formidable forces in the
west. Instead of decisive fight
ing in the west we may soon be
reading of another Italian
drive or possibly of warwaging
against the Scandinavian coon-
tries. Yet we fight against a
conceited and sometimes fool
ish foe. That conceit led the
kaiser to take up ruthless sub
marine warfare-a capital
blunder because it brought
America into the war. 1t is not
beyond the realm of possibility
that the Potsdam warlords have
Iunderestimated the allied
western strength just as they
underestimated. America and
the allied ability to offset the
submarine. If so they may
risk the fate of kaiserdom on
the west front. Should they
do that the most stupenduous
fighting of the war will soon be
underway.

There are, however, in the country.
scores of thousands of persons, mostly

Sunday morning at the Methodist

at a union service, the Memorial SER
mon for this year, from the text, ''As
dying and yet we live" urging that
we make it time of remembrance
not only Of the ones who. had given
their lives for the principles of the
republic, but of the things for which
they died, 1t was a fitting Tepara-
tion for the services Of Thursday,
which will be held at the opera house
beginning at 900 p. m. The service
Sunday also included the call from the
food administration to great saving
of food, especially wheat, as the need
for more to be sent abroad is greater
than was planned. If the waste of
grains in liquor manufacturing is stop.
ped, we can all afford to stop the use
of wheat entirely until after the next
harvest as thank offering.

BUILDERS 70 USE TREENAILS
How Framework Of Ships Under Con.
struetlon for Uncle Sam Will
Be Held Together.

The framework Of the wooden ships
which are now being built for the
United States Emergency corporation
will not be held by even a single metal
nail. They will be pinned together
with treenails cut from the trunks of
live oak or yellow locust trees.
There are two or three causes for
the use of wooden nails. One Is the
great need of iron and steel in other
lines of war activity where wood
could not be used, and another is that
the wooden pin is lighter than metal
one and less expensive.
Each ships hull will require 100000
of the treenails. and they will be
fastened in place by splitting each
end and driving ina white oak wedge
Each ship Will require 100000 wedges
1t is said that the wooden pins are
more quickly put in place than are
metal ones.
Treenails are "a inches long, an
inch and quarter in diameter and
perfectly round. They are used to
fasten the planks to the boat frames.

Timber for the ships comes from

SAY G00DBY, TO DOUGHNUT
fSealss Up Fat Which Can Be Put q
e., Better Use, 10 judgment i
Etkkaa. Of Hoover. sSAki

The 6oughnut is doomed, says the
Indianapolis News. Recent intima.
tons of disapproval by the food ad.
ministration of this matutinal confec,
ti0n might have been regarded as q
spur to conservation and threat that
would not be carried out unless as a
last resort. Bakers are prohibited in
making bread or rolls from adding
sugar or fats to the dough during the
baking or afterward. Some difference
Of opinion as to what are rolls has
given the doughnut q respite. but It.
to be shortlived, according to the state
food administrator. who brings this
significant news from Washington:
This ruling gives sweet dough goods
q temporary lease Of life only. Mr..
Hoover has special grudge against
doughnuts. They soak up fat which
we do not need and our, allies are sui.
fering for. So doughnuts and frying
pan foods will shortly be taboo and
we must not eat or make them until
the war Is over. E.~
Thus is the fate Of the doughnut
sealed. Mr.. Hoover IS known as q de.
termined man who cannot be moved
from course which he thinks will
serve the interests of his country. The
statement, however, that the food I'D.
ministrator has grudge against the
doughnut will pain many who have
peculiarly strong fondness for it as an
accompaniment of the morning meal,
though Mr.. Hoover's animus may
arise from motives Of patriotism, not
prejudice.
If the government says the. dough-
nut must go out Of our lives, then 90
it must. But there will be some natu.
raj regret at parting with an I'D and
fried friend. The doughnut, like pie,
has become u part of our common life.
Many will find breakfast without sink.
ers an incomplete and unsatisfying re-
past. But perhaps the abstinence will
bring better digestion and more equa-
BILE tempers.
