FRENCH WOMEN MAKE CAM0uFlAGE
 NETS FOR TANKS
Many Sing as They Sew Screens For Protection
 Of Americans.

Behind American. Lines in France Sept. 19.-(Correspondence to Asso- ciated Press. .)-Seven hundred French women are employed in the Ameri- can camoufage station here making nets to screen from observation the American batteries and machine gun sections.
 There was a burst of patriotic song
 as the Associated Press correspond
 ent entered the large building where they work, for many of them sing as they sew.
 The screening of artillery is the
 most important work of camouf1age, as it is the main reliance in deceiv- ing the aerial observer and camera
 and in preventing the enemy from locating our batteries.
 1 Fer this purpose huge camouf1age
 nets are provided,( of wire and fish nett which cover the guns like a
 great horizontal tent In the netting 1 are tied punches of green burlap, of the same color as the surrounding
 grass or foliage. And thus view from above,( the overhanging green net
 merges the battery into the land scape of trees and turf.
 Hundreds of these nets were being made by the women workers. The 7o millimeter gun takes an Overhang- ing net 90 feet square. the 155 milli-
 meter gun has a 37 foot net, and the American machine gun gets an IS foot net. The nets are graded in ten colors of green and earth-broWn, so that the shield may have the exact tint of the surrounding trees. The
 nets are shipped to the front in huge bundles, one net for each gun. It has been a problem to get the i 700 women required for this delft work on the nets, and one of the chief
 means of drawing them is Red Cross home for the babies of the married
 women, and a Y. M c. A. kitchen which gives them a good meal for 60 garlands are also made by the wo-
 men. These garlands of green burlap are strung between the trees, in or-(
 der to break up lines and diffuse
 edges so that the location of con- voy or pattern will not show on aE
 aerial photograph.
 1 In the carpenter shop huge frames for green umbrellas were being made
 The umbrellas open like an ordinary sun shade and camouf1age machine
 gum In the blacksmith shop the men 1 were turning out steel "cabins" which
 are sunk below the ground, for an observer. They have front of bull let-proof steel and are about as strong as small safe. In one of these an observer is safe in the midst of a shower of shrapnel.
 | Laying on paint much as scrub
 woman wields mop, an artist was
 walking about on gigantic camou- 1 ftage screen for an airplane hangar. The great piece of; painting was spread on a field and covered an
 area of 1900 square yards. The ar tist was using a brush as big as a
 broom
 'cCamouflage is making a constant battle against the aerial camera
 said the escort, "for with photographs
 made from airplanes the enemy gets a complete view of our operations
 unless they are obscured by some device of camoufage."

NEBRASKA CONTESTS
 FOR SENATOR AND
 GOVERNOR NOT TAME
War Records of Politicians Have Been Inejcted Into
 the Campaign.

Lincoln. Neb., Oct. 19.-The con- tests for United States senator and governor will overshadow all other issues at the general election Novem. Der 5, when Nebraska voters will al- so elect congressman in six districts
 state officers and an entire state legislature.
 The senatorial fight have been en- livened by criticism fthe war record of Senator George w. Norris, republi- can incumbent, by supporters of his democratic opponent, former Cover nor John H. Morehead. Particular stress has been laid upon Senator Norris vote against the war resOlu- tion.
 To these criticisms supports of Senator Norris have replied that while he was conscientiously opposed to war with Germany at the time the resolution was voted upon, he has since given his heartiest support to . successful prosecution of the war. Governor Keith Neville, who seeks has given the campaign touch of added interest by announcing that he will join the army if defeated by his opponent, Samuel R. McKelvie, re- publican.
 Neville's supporters urge that their "War governor not be replaced by a new man, while supporters of Nickel vie, on the other hand, charge unfair tactics, declaring, among other things that the State Council of Defense ! members, appointed by Neville have been used for political purposes. This assertion met with prompt denial. The influence of the Non-P Partisan Leagues support of candidates. ef- forts of the prohibitionists to elect Legislators, who will vote for ratifi- cation of the federal prohibition am- endment, and the nrobable eject of the votes of 15,OOO to 10000 soldiers and sailors will be outstanding fea- lures of the election. Thousands of soldiers received cleo tion ballots by mail from the State Election Commission created by the legislature last spring Approximate ly 3,730 ofthese Nebraskans are serv- ing overseas. Under the law permit ting them to vote, they only have to make a cross opposite their candi- dates, have signatures attached by their officers, and return the ballot by mail.

Newfoundland Contributed
10000 Men to Aid British

Newfoundland, though her popula-
ton does not exceed that of a popu-
lOus English Industrial city, has sent
10000 men to fight the battles Of the
British empire in this war. 1t is a
magnificent record, asserts q writer,
and exactly what one would have ex-
pected from a country which sent it's
fishing ships to help in the destruction
of the Great ATgnada.
1t was in 1888 that Sir Humphrey Gil
bert took possession of the island in
the name of his most gracious lady,
Queen Elizabeth; it was only five
years later that La Felicissima Ar
mazda left COruna for English waters,
so that Newfoundland had an early OPP
pOrtunity of establishing a tradition
for gallantry which NewfOundlanders
are so splendidly vindicating in the
present war.
The ancient and LOyale Colony"
of Newfoundland recently celebrated
the four hundred and twentieth an
niversary of her discovery.

POINTERS FOR THE
POULTRY KEEPERS

A high-water mark has been reached
this winter in price of poultry prod
ucts, especially eggs. This phenomenal
price has caused hundreds of poultry
men to put forth an extra effort to in
crease their egg production, writes G.
S. Anderson of the Colorado Agricul
tural college. In the majority of cases
this effort has not brought the desired
result, and here is the one big reason
the pullets being forced did not have
the maturity and age necessary for
winter laying. Their feed, care and
housing may have been above question,
but their handicap of being Matched
late could not be overcome.
The spring is the normal season of
the year for hens to lay, and if they
lay literally, then they cannot be
forced to heavy production in the win
ter. The fall and winter is natures
natural resting period. For this rea-
son woodworking records can never
be expected from young hens.
PulletS will always be the main force
in producing winter eggs. As in the
case of the hen, however. winter lay
ing is not natural, and their tendency
toward spring laying must be offset by
Matching them early enough to reach
the degree of growth and maturity
necessary for egg production in the
fail. PulIetS that have not sufficient
development to begin laying before the
severe WipTpr weather starts will all
most invariably not lay before Feb
rUary or March.
Many Of the pulling problems that
confronted the poultrymen this winter
will be avoided next year If the hatch
ing is done three weeks TO month
earlier. It should be remembered that
the time OF the year the eggs are laid
is far more Important than the number
laid.

These Are the Things We
Must Do and Do Well, to
Defeat the KaiSer's War

It will be well for us all if we
what, precisely, are the tasks con-
fronting us in this world war, writes
Thomas w. Lamont. No one could
have put them more clearly than Pres
ident Wilson. Here is what he said:
"These, then, are the things we must
do, and do well, besides fighting-the
things without which mere fighting
would be fruitleSs:
1--WE must supply abundant food for
ourselves and for our armies and our
seamen not only, but also for large
part of the nations with whom we
have now made common cause. In
whose support and by whose side we
shall be fighting.
''We must supply ships by the hun
dreds out of our shipyards to carry
to the other side of the sea, Subma-
rines Or no submarines, what will
every day be needed there, and abun-
dant materials out of our fields and
our mines and our factories with which
not only to clOthe and equip our own
forces on land and sea, but also to
clOthe and support our people for
whom the gallant fellows under arms
no longer work, to help clOthe and
equip the armies with which we are
cooperating in Europe, and to keep
the looms and manufactures there in
raw material; coal to keep the fires
going in ships at sea and in the fur
naceS of hundreds of factories across
the sea; steel out of which to make
arms and ammunition, both here and
there; rails for wOrnOut railways back
of the fighting fronts; locomotives and
rolling stock to take the place of those
every day going to pieces; mules,
horses, cattle for labor and for mill
tary service; everything with which
the people of England and France and
! Italy and Russia have usually supplied
, themselves but cannot now afford the
men, the materials, or the machinery
to make"

How Cotton Is Utilized.

The United States is the '1and of
cotton" Nowhere else in the world
is cotton grown in such abundance,
and put to such a variety of uses, &C.
cording to Popular Science Monthly.
The fiber is made into cloth; the oil
from the seeds is used as a cheap
substitute for olive oil and as a basis
for lard, and now the seeds them
selves are being ground into flour and
used for food purposes. Gingersnaps
and jumbles are made from it, and it
is mixed with finely-chopped meat and
tied in sausage links. To make the
cottonseed sausage, three pounds Of
sausage meat is mixed with one pound
of cottonseed flour. This flour is said
to contain as much nutrition as the
meat which it takes the place of, and
to effect saving of 8 cents a pound
on the sausage.

Electric Eye Burglar Alarm
Set off by Rays of Light

A burglar alarm set off by rays of
light is possible as the result of a
scheme introduced under the trade
name Of the electric eye" by DR.. O.
Hannach of Berlin. 1t is merely a
sensitive SpIenium cell which will give
a signal. when it is illuminated.
''The selenium cell acts in the usual
way as p relay" says the Scientific
American Supplement-. "The cell is
small and can easily be hidden in the
decorations Of a safe or piece of furni-
ture and covered with glass. The adj
vantage claimed over ordinary burglar
alarms is that the device viii operate
as soon as a light is introduced into
the dark room, while other alarms
have to Doe excited by the breaking of
an electric circuit or by mechanical
vibrations. As the electric eye works
with "a suspended coil however, acci-
dental vibrations might make it more
sensitive than Is desired.

Uncle Sam Becomes Teacher
And Adviser to Every Home
On Materials for Household

A new book Just issued on Materials
for the Household" is of interest to
every family. 1t was prepared by the
bureau of standards in popular Ian
guage to meet the need for reliable in
formation for home use and will be es-
pecially welcome to all who desire to
manage the home as efficiently as a
modern Office or shop. In this work
Uncle Sam becomes teacher and adj
wiser to every household. Interesting
accounts are given of the great variety
of materials used in building and fur
nishing the home and in the many
minor industries and activities of the
household.
The circular is practical and aims to
stimulate interest in household mate
rails (other than foods and drugs), to
explain their desirable properties, and
to aid in their intelligent selection, eff
fective use, and preservation. A better
utilization of materials will aid the
efficient administration of the home
and promote the health, comfort, and
general well-being Of the household.
Home economics is of universal and
permanent concern, and as its impOr-
lance is more fully realized it will be-
come a vital factor in national we'll
being, says Commerce Reports. The
excellent instruction in the subject now
given in high schools and colleges has
begun new era in home management.
This circular is a contribution from the
bureau of standards to the growing lit
erature in this field.
Household materials are of added in
terest to the housewife and student
| from the fact that formerly many such
materials were made up in the home.
{ The making of soap, candles, yarns
and fabrics, leather, sugar, alkali, wax,
| tallOw, pens and inks formed an inter-
esting group of the Old-time household
industries. In fact, most modern in
/ dustries are the OutgrOwth of what
were originally household industries.
The modern factory has taken up these
home industries, and already some So
cial control over the quality, form and
price of factOry-made products is be-
| ginning to be felt through agencies
such as the consumers leagues, coop.
erative societies, publicity in the pub
lie press, misbranding laws, govern
/ ment control and the like.

food for another which has become
scarce or expensive, choose one or
more foods from the same group.
1. Vegetables and Fruit-Everyone
likes fruit, and it is good for yOu-sO
are vegetables. Since they furnish
mineral matter, both help to build up
the bones and other parts of the body
and keep it in good working order.
They help TO prevent constipation. All
kinds are gOOd-use them, fresh, dried
or canned. Prunes, raisins, apples and
other dried fruits are good. You can
give them to the children instead Of
candy.
,. Milk, Meat, Eggs, Cheese, Fish,
Peas, Beans and Nuts-They furnish
the protein" whose chief business is
to supply nitrogen in the right form
TO build up the body. In the young
child new muscles, new bones and all
the other parts of the body are being
made. In the grown person these
parts are constantly wearing out and
must be replaced. Foods supplying
protein and ash are needed for this
purpose. For example, in choosing
from group two, if you have beans or
peas, and some milk, you can use them
in place of meat.
In this group (NO. y, milk is the
most important. OF course, it is abSO-
Iutely necessary for the infant, but
the growing child needs it, too. If the
child has it, he needs but little of any
of the other foods in this group.

can buy cornmeal for less per pound.
Your purse and your preference both
deserve, consideration.
4. Sweets, Sugar and Sirups-Jel-
lies and preserves are fuel for the
body, too, but, in general, they are
more expensive than cereals. Use
them for flavor, but q little will go
long way. If the children eat too
much sweets, they won't have an ap-
petite for the foods they need most,
like bread and milk. Instead of
candy, you can give them fruits, which
but which are not likely to spoil their
appetites.
5. Fats-Butter or other good fats,
cottOnseed oil, lard, drippings, etc., are
another kind of fuel. People who do
hard work, especially outdoors, need
more fats than those who are not so
active. They are q relatively expen-
sive form of fuel, and besides the ami
NAL fats are scarce now and needed for
our armies and our allies, so use them
sparingly.
These five kinds of food-fruits
and vegetables, meats or meat substi-
tutes, cereals, sweets and fats-are all
necessary for the proper nourishment
of the body. Remember that the cere-
al group is the one most of US depend
on for the bulk of our food. You need
the others, too, in proper quantity.
Don't forget the five food groups. See
to it that you have some food from
each group every day!

3. Cereals-This includes bread and
all such foods as oatmeal, macarOni,
rice, hominy, breakfast cereals and
cornmeal. Their most important work
is to furnish the body with fuel,
though they also contain some pro-

instead of buying the ready-prepared
kinds. Some of the large packages,
