WAS CALLED BY WASHINGTON
First Cape Cod Canal Engineer to Be
Pressed Into Service Because of
Demand for Experts.

Thomas Machin, the engineer
charged by committee appointed in
1776 by the colony of Massachusetts
with the task of making the first sur
vey for the Cape Cod canal, was
drafted" as an army engineer by
George Washington before he could
make fair start on the survey, says
the Engineering News-Record. George
Washington's letter to the chairman
of the committee which appointed Mr..
Machin read:
"The great demand we have for en-
gineers in this department has obliged
me to order Mr. Machin hither to as
sist in that branch of the business"
This bit of American engineering
history is recounted by William Bar
clay Parsons, in a paper published in
the Proceedings of the American Soci-
ETY. Of Civil Engineers) on the Cape
Cod canal, which was first proposed
more than three hundred years ago
and finally opened to commercial traf-
fee in 1914.

That every field of military endeav-

: Mothers Cook Book

The people who indulge in honeyed
phrases seldom have any fear of eating
their own words.
Lenten dishes this year have no
worriment for the housewife who has
been keeping lent all winter by meat
less, wheatless, porkless days. Eggs
are at present so high that when using
them the frugal cook tries to extend
them by adding something to the dish
which will give bulk and not detract
from the qttraciveness of it.
One good dish may be made by using
rice with egg. Put quarter of cup
full of rice we'll washed into Il frying
pan with a little sweet chicken fat ;
fry it until yellow, then add some
chicken broth or. lacking that any
good vegetable liquor which has been
saved because of its mineral c0ntent.
Cook until the rice is tender, season
and stir in three eggs, carefully cook
ing, add butter, salt, paprika, and
serve as scrambled eggs. This dish
will serve i1ve or six people, saving
two or three eggs.

BACKYARD
POULTRY GROWING

The city or town man who keeps a
small flock of hens not only is saving
money but is helping his country.
Every pound of poultry raised and
every egg laid releases just so much
pork and beef for our armies and al
lies, according to l.. w. Burby. pOul-
try huSbandman stationed at the ag-
ricultural college by the United
States department of agriculture
Poultry will not prevent ones grow
ing a garden. Twelve hens confined
in pen big enough for exercise and
provided with green feed will furnish
Il gO0dly number of eggs for food A
packing box and little poultry net
ting are all that is necessary for build
ing a house and run.
For egg production rooster should
not be kept, as he is noisy and has
large appetite, but has no influence
on the number of eggs produced.
The poultry grower should not de-
pend too much on table scraps for
feeding his poultry, points out Mr.. Bur-
by. Enough feed should be given to
keep the birds in good condition and
sufficient excess to produce eggs. The
hens will eat vegetable peelingS
and fruit scraps if these are put
through the food chopper and mixed
with a little mash. A good mash con-
sists of four parts of BRAN. two parts
of shorts, and one part of high grade
beef scraps, by weight.
Plenty of green feed should be used.
This cuts down the amount of grain
necessary. 1t is desirable to feed to
the poultry the green weeds and thin
nings from the garden, also the mis-
shapen and wOrmy vegetables, and
tough corn, unfit for human consump-
lion.

on prisons and prison LABOR, and pro"
vision for road building has been IN
cOrpOrated in the prison labor bill.

vision for road building mas been m
corporated in the prison labor bill.
An important feature is that of re-
quiring the payment of wage to the
prisoner Such wage will make it
possible for the prisoner to contribute
TO the support of his dependents and
at the same time will prevent unfair
competition with free labor. The pas
sage of the bill will give impetus to
the movement for the employment Of
prisoners in road work and in other
occupations affected by the national
emergency.
Ever since the United States entered
the war the demand for utilizing the
prison labor supply confined in the
penal and correctional institutions Of
the country has steadily increased. Re-
ports made to the national committee
on prisons and prison labor show that
the demand for this labor comes from
practically every organization which
has as its purpose some work related
to the prosecution of the war. Ma
tional and state food, fuel freight,
farm and fish commissions are seek
ing prison labor. State and county
commissions are meeting to discuss
the problem.
Many of the proposals made will not
be realized until the passage in con-
gress of the prison labor bill intro
duced by Senator Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia and Representative Charles F..
Booher of Missouri. This bill has been
introduced through the efforts of the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor and the American Fedora
tion of Labor to promote the use of
prison labor in the war emergency and
also to prevent exploitation of the pris-

Nevertheless the forty-eighth ami

His sister, Caroline, sat opposite to
