Gauze Masks A Protection-How to
Make Them.
The use of the gauze mask is urged by
the State department OF health as pro-
lection against the infection OF influenza.
The results following the use OF this
protective measure have been so remark
able that members OF the medical profess
sion who have been observers have been
deeply impressed.
To make the mask use gauze Cheese
cloth) one yard wide, not of fine mesh
and preferably woven from thread some
what fluffy. Cut on the selvage edge a
piece forty-three inches long. Cutting
again on the selvage, divide this piece in
to four strips nine inches wide.
Fold each strip into halves, then into
thirds, thus making six thicknesses of
gauze. Turn in the raw edges and stitch
the four sides. The mask now measures
7x8 in ches.
Put in three pleats on each of the seven
inch ends, the lower to be deeper than the
other two, to make room for the chin.
When finished, the pleated ends should

Attach to each extreme corner piece of
tape one fourth to one-h half inch wide
and fourteen inches long. One pair Of
tapes ties around the head above the ears
and the other around the neck below the
ears. This style OF mask fits the face
better and is preferable to the kind
earlier made by Red Cross workers with
out the pleats.
Each person using these masks should
have a supply so that he may change
them frequently-after two or three
hours use. The used masks are ready

few days ago Lieut.. Alexander G..
Craig of New York, while flying over

chaser plane. BY skillfully handling
his own machine, after few minutes
of iockeying he put his adversary Mt

own gunner into such position that
a hurst of machine gunfire shot the
sttacker dead and sent his plane to the
ground in flames.
Lieut.. Harry l.. Holtz of Burley,
Idaho. showed he could combine great
eoolness in danger with thorough I'M
derstanding OF Italian habits and GUS
toms. On his way back over the Aus
TRAN lines after a deep raid into en-
envy territory his plane was struck by
a burst of shrapnel from anti-aireraft
guns. One fragment lodged in the
body of Holtz's machine, another tore
a hole in the right wing, while third
splintered one of the left-wing spars,
at the same time cutting one of the
aileron control cables to such an ex-
tent that a single strand of steel wire
was left.
Lieutenant Holtz calmly pointed out
the break to the Italian mechanic ac-
companying him. The mechanic, with
out moments hesitation. climbed out
and fought his way to the wing against
a tremendous wind pressure. Then,
lying fiat on his face and braclng his
feet against the strut. he grasped the
damaged cable with one hand on eac,l
side of the break.
Just when he was getting grip
on the last strand of the cable 1t parted

apparent. With the cable gone, the
big alrplane virtually was useless, bu,
he coolly chung there, substituting his
strength for 1t ami enabling Lieuten

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consld
cred any plan OF selling foodstun-
owned by householders Nor Is there
any policy OF this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly 10 issue official de
mails OF rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-GerInan propa gandlsts and part
ly by constituencies grafters, who
sought TO profit through buying from
mlslnformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practlced on greater
scale than ever before In the nations

And they are assuring all patriotic

orIaln Of Life on Planets.

The many speculatlons that have
been published concerning the origin
Of life on the earth and on any other
bodies In the universe where 1t may
possibly exist usually assume that, In
some way or other, fife germs" are
transported across the CULTS Of space
from one planet to another. Thus 1t
has been suggested that life may have
been brought to the earth in meteors.
One of the most recent suggestions is
that minute life germs" may escape
from the atmosphere of a planet in
which life exists, just as molecules Of
the atmospheric gases are believed to
escape from our terrestrial atmosphere,
and may be driven by light-pressure to
some world where physical conditions
have become suitable to support life.
While there is nothing essentially abb
surd in these hypothesis, 1t is not
clear why their authors should take 1t
for granted that life cannot originate
de novo on a cooling planet.-Scientifc

GUNTER SAYS NATION DEPENDS
ON FARMERS
In Address Before Farmers Con-
gress Chief Executive Urges CO.
Operation With State War
Council-Tells of Work
Accomplished

Governor Julius c. Guntcr explain
cd the work done by the State Council
of Defense before the Colorado Farm
ers' and Farm Women's Congress on
Wednesday afternoon, Jan. Is. He de-
scribed in detail the many serious
problems which have confronted the
council since it was organized imme-
diately following the declaration of
war, and he told how these problems
had been met and disposed cf.
The members of the council arc Civ
ing their services entirely without pay
and are themselves paying all ex-
penses connected with the work of the
council. The raising of funds for the
payment of the members of the Ma
tional Guard was one of the important
pieces of work performed by the
council. When it became known that
the guard would be mustered into the
federal service it became necessary to
raise S350,000 for the payment Of the
men. This sum was raised and the
soldiers went into the national army
with money in their pockets instead
of certificates. 1t did not cost the
state a penny to raise this money.
| One of the redeeming features Of the
war, according to the governor, has
been the way it has brought out the
splendid qualities of Colorado citizen
ship.
Every institution and organization
in Colorado has responded to every re-
quest made by the council, with the re-
suit that the entire commonwealth is
efficiently organized for protection of
utilities, support Of the soldiers in the
state. production and conservation of
food, marketing of crops and solving
the farm labor problem.
I'VE have a longtime war before
u.s." Governor Gunter declared in clos
ing. There is no hope that it will
be ended before 1919 if that soon. We
must remember what we will be called
upon to do. We have 100000 SOL
diers now, and of them 100000 are
now in France. We shall probably
have 1000, 900 men in the army before
the war is over. We must think of
what we must do to support them.
Sacrifices must come to each and ev-
cry one of US if we are to properly
maintain them.
"In this time of stress, our DEEPEN
dence is in the farmer. Let him coun-
sci with the council of defense, let us
all work together not only as state
but as a nation, and success will be
with us and our allies, the war will
be won by the American soldiers and
their comrades at the front. Colo
