POPULARITY OF BLUE GRlSS
Kentucky Soldiers, on Return March
From Battle of TiPpecanoe, Gath
cred Seed in Indiana.

The tradition that the Kentucky SOL
diers who fought at Tippecanoe took
back with them the seed that has made
blue grass famous in central Ken
lucky, has never been questioned or
seemed TO require authentic proof, de-
clares a writer Mrs. lowering says,
in her Authentic Indiana: -
at was on the return march from
the battle of Tippecanoe that the SOL
diers from Kentucky gathered the seed
of the blue grass which they found
growing in Indiana, and carried 1t
home with them, thinking 1t was SUI
perior variety because it satisfied the
hunger of their horses so well that
they would not eat corn. 1t flourished
so well on the limestone soil of central
Kentucky that it made that state IA
NOUS" This statement was based on
information obtained from early set
tiers of Indiana. Kentucky was not
known as the blue grass state until
many years after the battle of Tippe-
canoe.
AS long as slavery existed, Ken
lucky, lying south of the Ohio river
was classed as q Southern state. 1t
never was classed as a central West
ern or middle Western state along
with Ohio and Indiana. In the census
report of 1910. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin were classed
as EAST North Central states" and
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi as EAST South Central
states"
When Indiana was admitted to the
Union, in 1916. it consisted of Is coun-
ties, viz: Wayne, Franklin, Dearborn,
Switzerland, Jefferson. Clark, Wash
ington, Harrison, Knox Gibson, Posey,
Warrick and Perry. In the subsequent
creation of 20 counties out Of these,
making 90, the boundaries Of the orig
inal Is counties underwent material
changes.

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 in 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 a quarter in diameter and
perfectly round. They are used to
.fasten the planks to the boat frames.
Soon after a vessel is launched the
pins swell to snug fit in the frame
work. -.
, Timber for the ships comes from
the sawmills in 60-foot slabs II inches
through, and is then worked into the
different sizes for the framework and
siding.

PROLIFIC CAUSE OF CANCER
Prominent Surgeon Points Out Danger
in Taking Too Hot Foods Into
the Stomach.

DR.. William J. Mayo of Rochester,
Mimi, now major in the United States
army, says that 80 per cent of all can
GERS of civilized man are in the stom-
ach, and this condition is uncommon
among primitive men and animals. He
believes that many such cancers are
caused by chronic liberation of the
stomach.
Doctor Mayo told the national ses-
sion of the Clinical Congress of Sur
geons of North America that men had
cancer of the stomach more frequent
ly than women because man is in the
habit of taking his food hotter than
the average woman takes hers. Wom-
an sits at the foot of the table and
pours the tea and coffee, serving the
men of the household first and drink
ing hers after it has cooled somewhat.
Among the Chinese the same rule
holds good of eating rice, for the wom-
en- eat at the second table.
Doctor Mayo said food and drink
should not be taken into the stomach
hotter than can be borne comfortably
in the mouth, for the mouth has sensi-
tive nerves expressly to protect the
doorway to the body, while the stom-
ach has not.

amount of material TO be used for
war purposes, a certain amount o.
labor to be used in the same way,
and he has also relieved to a GER
tain extent the transportation ia
cilities of the country.
This may not be much in the indi-
vidual case, but when hundreds OF
thousands and millions of Americans
pursue this course it means millions
and millions of dollars loaned the Gov
eminent, tremendous quantities of ma
terials left for uses of the Nation in
this war, millions of hours of labor
free to do war work, and vast amount
of freight space free for national uses.
These sacrifices are easy to make;
are small and trivial compared to the
sacrifices that our soldiers and sailors
make daily while they offer constantly
their lives for their country, the great-
est sacrifice of ALL

TAKES PLACE OF GASOLINE
Been Found to Be Satisfac-
tory Substitute.

The high cost of gasoline Is becom-
ing such a 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 AT miles. This shaded down,
to SO miles an hour and 3,72 miles on
a 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
it made A miles an hour, running 800
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, as 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 q hnnn of ineStimnhln valna

English Women Baking Own Bread.
In an article called voluntary Ra-
tioning" in Woman's Home Compan-,
ion, writer says:
Bakers are forbidden to deliver
bread before it is twelve hours old,
This, in itself, has helped the saving
of wheat very materially, as people
do not fancy stale bread. And the
housewife, in her own home baking,
has learned this valuable lesson also.
She puts her freshly baked bread
away to stale for IL or "a hours. For
many years English bakers bread has
been so good and so cheap that 1t
has formed large part of the daily,
menu. But government regulation,
bakers bread is, for the most part,
so unpalatable that women have be-
come home bakers. They mix the
standard flour with other meals and
produce a bread which is far more
palatable, at less expense, and still
comes within the rations. The supply,
of flour being so limited, pastries and
cakes have become rarities in stores
and restaurants, and luxuries In
homes"

Domestic Wood for Walking sticks


The United Kingdom has long taken
the lead in the manufacture of walk
ing sticks, and large proportion Of
the output was made Of raw material
grown in the British isles, such as
ash, chestnut, oak and similar woods.
The importation Of finished sticks has
always been small, but before the war
considerable amount of raw or
partly finished material was imported,
such as malacca canes, ebony, wang
hees, roof bamboo, nilgherri, etc.
Cherry sticks and what is known as
Congo" wood were formerly imported
from Germany and Austria, where
they are grown. For time after the
outbreak of the war the stocks on
hand, both here and in neutral coun-
tries, met the demand, but gradually
the trade has become more depend
ent upon homegrown goods, and con-
sequently a greatly increased demand
for domestic raw material has arisen.

The Double Effect of Economy.

When an American citizen, instead
of spending 500 for something he
wants, denies himself and lends the
money to the Government he performs
a double service.
First, he furnishes the Government

the war.
Second, ne has relieved to the extent
