Insects In Flight.

Motion pictures Of insects In flight

OF all insects presents the same general
character. When flight is begun the
amplitude of the first wing leafs is
much smaller than Of the subsequent
ones, but the period remains almost IN
changed. The insect regulates the We
locity of its flight not by the rapid1ty
of the motion of its wings, but by
changing their inclination. Although
in normal conditions the period OF the
wing beat remains constant, 1t may be

Not an Auxiliary.

Upon our entrance into the war n
great women's organization-the one
which has been working for the vote
for the women of the United States
for more than half century-organ-
lied and equipped a hospital unit OF
women. doctors as well as nurses, an
offered it to the United States, says
Pittsburgh Dispatch. There is some
thing in government custom or in az.
my red tape, If not actually in law,
which made 1t impossible for the great
est democracy on earth to accept the
services of this unit because it was
composed of women. So Uncle Sam
was forced to decline the offer. lie
did 1t politely, probably with regret
that the organization was not a ladies'
auxiliary which could be attached 10
something regular and masculine and
thus made available. The National
Woman Suffrage association thereupon
offered its hospital unit to France,
which accepted 1t with alacrity and
gratitude and assigned it to service.
And yet, the other day, according to
the newspapers, a woman doctor was
made a major In the American army,
and so there's ground for hope.

PUT CURB on LIS siSs!PFi
Engineers Hope to Cchlsei Rivers =
eentricities by the Placing of a
Carpet in rs Jed.

The Mississippi river. most capri
cious and pampered of all streams. on
which Uncle Sam has spent millions
her in proper place, is now having
carpet made for her OF an expense of
many hundreds of thoEgands Of dol
lars. Rather she is having a number
of carpets made; not Of cotton or linen
or wool. but of trees and branches.
Some of the carpets are a mile in
length and 200 feet in width.
They will be used to carpet the bed
of the river near Memphis, Team, in
order TO prevent the stream from
changing its course and leaving the
city high and dry. Tbs Mississippi
has an unfortunate and expensive h2b-

ing towns upon Its banks chat have
grown up. into thriving ceniers on ac-
count of their position on the stream.
There are scores of towns that have
been left, sometimes several miles bacs
from the new river bed OF course this
results in the ruin of the deserted
town.
In the case Of Memphis, the consc-
quences of the river cutting new
channel several miles west of its pres
ent bed and leaving city OF more
than 100000 population stranded would
be so serious that the government has
come to the rescue of the threatened
town. Immense carpets of willow
branches, firmly fastened together,
have been laid over the bed Of the
stream. These great carpets. heavily
weighted with stone, sink to the bot
tom.
The carpets when properly laid are
pinned in place by piles driven down
through them deep into the bed of til
river. That stops tire erosion of the
river bed and keeps the channel in
place.

Sc ggIIHG A Sljsai RESERVE
HOOVER SAYS DON'T WASTE"

The difference between the wheat
and the sugar situation is this-that
IN the first ease the United States has
to ship out the wheat ii has and In the
other It has to ship In the sugar 1t
hasn't. Wheat has TO be saved from
our own scanty supply for our army
and our allies and practically all the
ocean tonnage available. after meeting
certain imperative military demands,
ois devoted 10 trans porting that cereal
to France. Sugar In abundance awaits
shipment here from Cuba, but few
ships can be spared 10 carry Il hither
the problem therefore In regard to
sugar is to make the fiuctuating but
never SUFFICIENT supply in this country
90 round. In the case of both sugar
and wheat, q shortage demands from
US sacrifice and substitution, but the
reasons are not identical.
In order that reserve stock Of
sugar may be built up and thereby
the danger Of an acute sugar famine
entirely removed, the Food Administra-
ton has stiffened the regulations and
requests IL makes regarding the use OF
that commodity. For general house
hold use the amount that can be had
by purchaser is placed at two pounds
IN the cities and Ave pounds in the
country. For householders who certify
in writing that they require sugar for
canning and preserving purposes and
promise to return whatever is not so
used, purchases Of % pounds are per.
mitted in the cities and OF so pounds
in the country.
Substitutes for sugar are not so
hard to find as substitutes for wheat.
Maryland patriotism should not have
much trouble in selecting understudy
sweeteners. Here is juse one example,
why not cut out the sugar from Ice
cream and use instead a mixture OF
honey, maple syrup, and corn syrup
instead. The fastidious members OF
one of the most famous clubs in Mary
land have been served that kind OF
fee cream for months and have noticed
no change-unless for the better.
Never encourage the use OF sugar.
Dealers are forbidden to boost its sale
by advertisements; less will be used
on Maryland's quarter-million tables
II the sugar bowl is kept out of sight
until asked for.
In Canada, II is against the law to
have a sugar bowl on the table in a
public eating place. Only two tea
spoonfuls-not the heaping kind at
that-are allowed to each order. The
simple truth is that neither here nor
there-thanks to submarines, Cuban
would-be profiteers and other nuisan.
ces-is there any too much sugar to
meet real needs. TIL the situation
clears, II Is necessary for all to cut
out all waste and humor their sweet
tooth only with substitutes for sugar

Cement From Beet Sugar.

A result of experiments I'm French
factories is the production of an excel
lent cement as a by-product of beet
sugar refining. The first step in the
production of sugar from beets is boil
ing them. 1t has heretofore been Gus
tomary to throw away as valueless the
scum formed on the caldrons. But it
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities of car
Donate of lime. 1t is estimated that
1900 tons of the carbonates can be
recovered from 10000 tons of beets.
To this quantity of the carbonate LOO
tons of clay is added, the resultant
product being a good cement The
best scum is pumped into large reser-
voirs and allowed to evaporate for
certain length of time before being
mixed with the clay. 1t is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being fed
into rotary ovens such as are used in
making Portland cement.-The Argo-
