Boys Can Help Country by
Gardening, Raising Poultry,
Pigs, and Conserving Food

How every American boy, although
separated by the Atlantic ocean from
the actual theater Of war against au-
tocracy. can play his part in upholding
American ideals. is pointed ont by
Secretary of Agriculture Houston In
n message addressed to the Boy Scouts
Of America. The Secretary pledges to
the boys the hearty cooperation OF the
federal and state agricultural agencies.
Secretary Houston's statement fol-
lows:

TURNING GARBAGE INTO FUEL
Experiments Made by Texas City
Would Seem to Have Solved Most
Perplexing Problem.

Austin, Tex, has solved the prob
lem of garbage disposal in q way that
is not only sanitary but profitable.
Forty of the leading citizens formed a
company and made a contract to re-
move all the city's refuse and garbage.
This is taken TO a factory, where all
non-inflammable objects, such as bot
ties, iron and tin cans are removed.
What is left is ground, mixed with
ground coal slack, steam and %creosote
and nodded into bricks weighing two
pounds each. The brick sells at $3.50
a thousand.
The University of Texas analyst
tested the bricks for heat-producing
qualities and found that where oak
gave 5000 heat units the garbage
bricks gave 1900. They burn equally
well in ranges furnaces, bakery CRATES,
open CRATES and base burner stoves.

British Admiralty Gives Out De-
tails of Achievements of
Seaplanes.
BOMBS DO GOOD WORK
Dndersea Craft Unable to Dive Before
Missiles Are Dropped-One De-
stroyed in Act of Attack
on Merchantmen.

London.-Details concerning the de-
struction recently of ten German sub
marines by naval aircraft, eight by
s%eaplanes and the others by d~irigibles,
have been obtained by the Associated
Press from admiralty reports. The
first case is described as follows:
while on patrol in the English
channel n seaplane sighted a subma-
rine eight miles away, directly in the
path of an oncOming convoy of mer-
chant ships. The seaplane dived at
90 miles an hour. The submarine at
tempted TO escape by submerging, but
was just awash as the seaplane
reached a bombing position and re-
leased two bombs, one Of which ex-
ploded on the coming tower. The
seaplane dropped two more bombs
into the midst of the bubbles from the
collapsed submarine, which was Of
the largest type, carrying two guns"
The second case: AT dawn a sea-
plane sighted a large submarine on
the surface, with a member of the
crew standing by the gun. The sea-
plane dropped n bomb on the tail Of
the U-boat and afterward photo
graphed the sinking submarine. with
a big hole in It's deck. A second bomb
was dropped close to the submarines
bow, and the U-boat collapsed"
Catches U-Boat on Surface.
The third case: 1.-TWO seaplanes at
tackled a large submarine travelling on
the surface at Ia knots, with two men
in the coming tower. A bomb was
exploded close to the coming tower,
and the submarine began to sink stern
first. A bomb from a second ~seaplane
completed the work"
The fourth case: ''Three patrol
planes sighted a large submarine as
bombs close TO the coming tower,
causing the submarine to urn turtle
and disappear in a mass of oil and
fwreckage."
The fifth case: "a seaplane sight
ed two submarines close TO the sur
face and dropped two bombs. One
bomb was ineffective, but the other hit
the deck fairly ~amidships. The sub.
marine was hidden by the smoke OF
the explosion, and when the smoke
cleared the U-boat was sinking, with
both ends in the air."
The sixth case: "A seaplane saw
the track of a torpedo fired at a mer-
chairman. 1t dived toward the sur
face and sighted the black shade OF
the submarine well below the surface

AID FROM RED CROSS

Washington.-Food is now being
sen regularly 10 American prisoners
in Germany by the American Red
Cross through an arrangement with
the international Red Cross in
Switzerland.
The American Red Cross office at
Paris recently received a complete list
of the 100 Americans then prisoners in
Germany. The German government
permits the Red Cross TO send each
man 20 pounds Of food a week. in
two packages Of ten pounds each.
This Red Cross service is being en-
larged and a warehouse 10 hold food
enough for 10000 American prisoners
already is under construction near
Berne, Switzerland. 1t is estimated
that at least 80 per rent of the food
packages reach the men.
Parents. wives and relatives Of our
soldiers and sailors will find in this
particular Red Cross service the great
est satisfaction because they have
dreaded German prison life for their
loved ones perhaps more than death
itself.
The American prisoners will be per-
mitted to write W. letters and four
post cards each month, and also to
acknowledge the receipt of food pack
ages. The Red Cross food package
follows the army ration pretty closely,
and frequently fresh white bread Is
included from the Red Cross bakery
in Berne.
This service is one more reason why

Illuminating Gas Is Being
Used in England as Motive
Power for the Motor Cars

The war has at least served a useful
purpose in teaching practical economy.
Today we are facing a serious gasoline
shortage.
In England, according TO the Science
ct la Vie, Illuminating gas is now being
used extensively as the motive power
for motorcars, omnibuses and motor
cycles. 1t is much cheaper than gas
oline, and its use conserves the linn
tied supply Of fuel for the motors at
the front.
Another war industry has been given
birth and already a large number of
companies have been organized to
manufacture tanks for supplying We
hicles with gas.
The system is very simple and may
be applied to almost any type of mo-
tor vehicle. All that is necessary is a
balloon container for the gas, tubing
TO carry the gas to the motor and GER
tain adjustments In attaching the con-
trolls to the carburetor and accelerator
pedal.
In England the balloon in a box rests
on top Of the car, where il is held in
position by elastic bands, which stretch
when the balloon is filed and shrink
as it empties. 1t is made of India
rubber tissue like that used In the or
binary balloons of ascension.
The tubing from gas bag to carbur-
etor is fitted with a cock which has a
triple function. 1t permits the bag
TO be charged or enptied or can be
turned to the neutral, which permits
the gas to flow along TO the carburetor.
A second cock controls the flow to the
%carburetOr. This is turned off when
filling or discharging.
Between this cock and the carbur-
etor is the control mechanism attached
to the accelerator. This mechanism is
so arranged that gas or gasoline may
be used as it happens to be ~conveniere.
The only difficulty at present I'm the
way Of a wholesale substitution Of gas
power for gasoline lies in the fact that
the factories which manufacture bal
looms are under military control.

lndellble Ink From Fungus
Found Growing in France in
Decaying Vegetable Matter

The utilization of a common variety
Of fungus for the manufacture of ink,
now both costly and scarce, has been
proposed in France, says the Path
finder. The ink-yielding fungus which
Is often found growing in clusters
where decaying vegetable matter ex-
lists I'm rich, damp soil is sometimes
called the ''%inkstand" or the link bot
tie" because of the fact that when it
decays a black liquid is produced. It's
cap is elongated and bell-shaped, white
at first and covered with a shining
powder, later turning to gray with
small brown scales on it's top.
A French scientific journal says that
extensive experiments in the produc-
ton Of indelible ink from this fungus
were once carried on by French bot
anists. The fungi are simply placed
In a bottle or other container.
After standing for a day or two they
change 10 a black pulpy mass, which.
on being filtered through a folded
cloth, yields a deep black or brownish
ink, not unlike India ink. The addi-
ton Of a small quantity of gum arabic
and "A little of the essence of cloves
is said to improve 1t and preserve its
fiuidity.
The ink consists of a liquid in which
are suspended the minute spores of the
fungus. For this reason it can be
readily identified by means Of a mi
croscopic examination. AS it is also
indelible it is peculiarly valuable for
use in writing of wills and other doc
uments which are sometimes subject
to fraudulent alterations.
