To His Small Bow.
By EDMUND VANCE COOK

By EDMUND VANCE COOK.
Good little chum
or the trumpet and drum
Who are still in the pop-gun years,
Are popping too near,
For they pop at your pop, he hears.
They are telling him so,
They arc letting him know,
AS they're popping around his ears
Most every night
When the moon is bright,
| call to the Man up there
Hill your big eyes
Way up in the skies
Can look around everywhere,
So look at the chaps
On all of the maps
And answer me fair and square:
Do you see any one
70 match my son?
Just answer me that, if you dare"
And not one word
Have | ever heard,
Nor hint in his golden stare
hat his beams ever shine
On boy like mine,
FOR there's none, none, none to compare
Q, ii you were here
would give a year
OF my life for your boyish kiss
But III willingly give
All l hope to live
10 hold you away-from this.

New York. Nov. 10
II was big house.
On Park avenue.
With cold butler.
Standing In the door.
And on the curb.
Was a ragged child.
With spindly legs.
Picking garbage.
Out of a big can.
And the door opened,
And a man in n fur coat.
With side-wheel whlskers.
And boutonniere.
Came down the great steps.
And looked at the child.
And gave her cuff.
That sent her sprawling.
Into the gutter.
Where she laid still,
And he shrugged.
His great shoulders.
And picked up a glove.
Buttoned up his coat.
And started to walk away.
And l crossed the street.
And walked up to him.
And said: You big brute"
I'm going to punch your face"
And 1 squared away.
And he began to swear,
And from a yard next door.
A crowd rushed up.
And grabbed me.
And tore my shirt.
And one of them said.
That the crazy nut.
Meaning me.
Had spoiled ten feet.
OF perfectly good film.
And they would have.
To do the big scene.
All over again.
And l looked around.
And the girl l saved.
Had a big coat around her.
And was sitting on a step.
And she got to laughing.
And the rest Joined in.
And l said.
rs that so?"
And walked away.
Just like that.
And for an entire block.

THE BETTER WAY.

And brought sweet relief,
From woe releasing.

Wool Is to Be Scarce This
Winter, So 1t BehooveS All
To Make the Garments Last

Before you buy new fall suit, coat
OF dress, make an inventory of the
wool clothing you have on hand.
Open up the trunks that have been
flied with moth balls and bring out the
coat you had four years ago or the suit
whose usefulness you thought was over
when it went out of style five years
back.
Bring out all the children's outgrown
things, mobilize the old suits and over
ccats-every family has them-and
sec what you have.
Word has gone out again that wool
must be conserved. Bernard M.
Baruch. chairman of the war indus
tries board, declares that there will be
no surplus of free wool over govern
ment requirements, and that when the
present supply of manufactured wool
is gone it will be difficult to replenish
the stocks.
Only wool garments now in your pos
session should be in use this winter.
IL it is possible, wear what you have
aS IL is or nave II lHdue oNtI IoI youI-
self; if not, turn it into clothing for
the children If you cannot use the
garments in your own family, turn
them over to some society which will
remake them into civilian garments for
Belgian and French refugees. Better
yet, help make them over yourself for
the refugees.
If none of these suggestions is i'm
possible, give the garments to some
charitable institution in the locality
the Salvation Army is always glad to
yet them-but above all, see that the
wool is all in use keeping somebody
warm.

Dehydration Plant Has a
Capacity of One Ton OF
Potato Flour Per Hour

All potatoes for the United States
army in Europe are shipped dried or
dehydrated. A newly installed deny
dration plant at Idaho Falls, Idaho,
has passed successful run in potato
flour making. 1t has possible ca
pacity of ton of very fine potato
-four per hour.
Previous to the war, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, this country inn
ported 100000 pounds Of potato
flour and meal each year, principally
from Germany and Holland. There
will be no more "Made in Germany"
potato flour in America for many
Years to come. This opens up man
ufacturing industry for American po-
tato growers. The slogan of the Po-
tato Association of America is for a
billion bushels of potatoes in 1919.
The forecast Of the bureau of crop
estimates indicated for the United
States this year 49,, 453,000 bushels.
The yield in the United States for 1917
was 443,0OO,0OO bushels.
If potato flour in the United States
only replaced 1 per cent of the wheat
flour, it would take 32,450 carloads Of
Ioatoes to furnish this supply. In
stead of / per cent, why not furnish
10 per cent of the potato flour sub
stitute for wheat?
A large amount of potato starch is
used in the textile industry.

plan, however, which put music into
everyone's reach, and the arrival in
inexpensive form Of the photograph,
proved too much for the hand organ
lists, and for the last five years they
have been in retirement. Where they
went and what they did in their re-
tirement is not so interesting to me as
to where they stored their hand or
gans. I fancy, though, that many Null
berry street or Carmine street cellars
could have disclosed much on the sub
ject.
POSSIBLY the war also has had some
thing to do with the changed dress Of
the women proprietors. I remember
that they were remarkable for gaudy
colors, rainbow scarfs and vivid hand
kerchiefs. The returning ones, how
ever, are more sober in raiment, most
OF them running to severe black.
There is nothing subdued in the music,
though, for the hand organs are all for
the stirring tunes of the army. In
cidentally, I've noticed that whenev-
err the war music IS started in front
Of a house where service flag flies,
the street musicians are seldom unre-
warded."

Consumption of Oranges Is
Increased by Juice Stands.

Attributing the large orange con-
sumption this season to the increased
demands made on the crop by the thou
sands Of orange juice stands that have
sprung up throughout the United
States in the last year, the Fruit World
says: "The worldwide shortage OF
sugar, estimated at approximately o.
100000 tons annually since the war
began, has caused the restriction Of
sugar consumption in the manufacture
of many of the popular drinks. This
has increased the consumption of or
anges this year and has created a
greater market activity in spite Of the
abnormally high prices caused by the
crop shortage following the heat wave
one year ago last June. And so the or
ange drink stands have alleviated the
demand on the sugar supply but also
have increased the demands on a short
ened orange CROP"

American Language Is Very
Rich in Words and Phrases;
Slang Adopted by British

The American language, as distin-
9uished from that of England, is rich
in words and phrases for the most
part terse and expressive and that are
racy of the soil. Not without cause.
notes the New York Herald. has our
slang become so famous that our Brit
ish cousins have not been ashamed to
welcome it to their more carefully
guarded preserves Of English speech.
The academic mind contributes moth
ing to this gradual development of the
language. 1t is from the lower orders
OF society that slang is derived. Many
OF the phrases long since Incorporate
ed in the mother tongue came from
the gaming table, the race track and
even the underworld of crime, and it is
interesting to trace them to their
source. The word "dope" and it's deri-
vations, now in common use, sprang
from the opium joint

slang, are thrown in helter-skelter

only when apt In their characteriza-

Of Germany has been called many

mentary, but. it remained for a col
ored soldier to fasten upon him a name

character does this heir to a dishon-

he is held in equal detestation. But
he is lacking the rats single noble
quality-he will not fight when driven

Hand Organs Here Again;
Stirring War Tunes Are
FaVoriteS With Players

81 note with mingled feeling the re-

said an observer in the New York
Times, "and / think that the coming
back of this 'umpty-umptys' musicless
disturber of serenity can also be laid

About six years ago the streets
used to be full of these hand organs.

How to Help Win the War by
Conserving Coal

Before fixing the fire look at the
temperature of the house and the
weather probabilities and be govern
ed accordingly.
Keep fuel bed moderately thick. Ex-
cept in emergency, do not check fire
by opening fin door. While this causes
the fire to bufn at a slower rate the
larger quantity of cold air passing over
the fire chills the heater and carries
the heat up the chimney. Avoid over
heating by regulation of hampers.
Never leave drafts on full except
when absolutely necessary and then
only for a short time.
In mild weather do not shake all the
ashes off the CRATE, but leave layer
of ashes between the CRATE and the
active fuel bed as an effective check on
the draft.
Keep the SCOT cleaned off from all
heating surfaces and fiues.
Close the ash pit door when you
shake the fire. This prevents the fine
ashes from being carried up through
the fire by the draft and settling on
the heating surfaces and clogging the
fues.
Do not shake down burning coal.
Keep the ash pit cleaned out. A pile
of ashes in the ash pit may result ia
burning out the CRATE.
Sift your ashes if there is unburned

In Less Than Five Months
Hog Island, Worlds Largest
Shipyard, Was Half Completed

A year or so ago Hog island was
dismal morass Of mud, stagnant wa
ter and tangled weeds. Not many
months ago it was a national scandal.
Today, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, it is the worlds greatest ship
yard. Labeled "phantasmagoria OF
patriotic pretense" in the halls OF con-
gress, it became in the poisoned pub
lie mind, national cancer fed by
greed and corruption. Thus did Ger
man propaganda, their tools and pup
pets, for a time hinder the growth
OF one of the most powerful enemies
of the Huns U-boats.
In wartime, day or an hour may
shape a nations destiny. The build
ers at Hog island have realized this.
Speed has been the watchword Moth
ing but a world crisis could have pro-
duced in q few short months single
shipyard with a capacity one-fourth
as great as the combined capacity of
all the shipyards in Great Britain
until now the foremost shipbuilding
nation of the world.
From the moment the first shovel
of earth was eXcavated, Septem-
Der %, 1917, until the present time,
work has progressed in almost magic
manner. In binding snowstorms and
In the teeth of zero winds, men thaW-
ed frozen ground with live steam and
drove tens of thousands of wooden
and concrete piles. They laid maze
of railway tracks, built piers, erected
g forest of towers, constructed mas
.sive shops and supply depots, and
in less than five months had the
worlds largest shipyard half COM
pIeted ard the keel of the first ship
laid!
Hog island has training schools
where unskilled men and boys are
given intensive instruction and In
few days or weeks made valuable
workmen. 1t HAS it's own hospitals,
it's recreation fields and buildings. 1T
operates restaurants that serve thou
sands of meals daily without profit.
II has an armed guard Of 600 men,
and a large, well-trained fire depart
rnent. 1t goes in for welfare work.
In short, it is a complete city with

Wireless Vastly improved;
Great Progress Is Made in
Sending Aircraft Messages

The efficiency of wireless telegraphy
9las been enormously increased during
the war, a semiofficial statement is
sued by the British air force says. In
particular great progress has been
made III sending wireless messages
from aircraft.
In 1914 various difficulties restricted
lthe use of wireless in conjunction with
.aiYplanes. Most of these have been
overcome and the use of wireless COM
InUDications from the air has been OF
great assistance to the allied forces in
all military operations.
Without the assistance Of wireless
the use of airplanes could never have
been developed so fully as it now is.
The extended range of aircraft wire
less leads to its use from airplanes on
long reconnaissance, and the operator
in the hut on the airdrome, miles be-
hind the lines, is the first to learn, per-
haps. OF a new Germa2 h0wiIzer en-

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

The laying hens must be kept busy
and exercise is absolutely necessary
and one way to provide this exercise
is to have litter on the poultry house
floor. Poultry are organisms of very
active nature and require great deal
of exercise.
The best way to supply this exer-
else to fowls that are in rather re-
stricted quarters is to feed whole or
cracked grains in litter of straw,
leaves or other similar material, from
which they can get it only by working
for it.
This litter of whatever nature it is
must be renewed from time to time
as it will soon become fouled with the
drOppings and the litter will become
SO heavy by this filth and dust that
it will be difficult for the fowls to
work it over readily.
Straw containing large amounts of
chaff is good; it contains more or less
weed seeds and sometimes little
wheat. 1t is wonderful to see how the
fowls will work this over time after
time.
1t is a good plan to hang up few
sheaves of oats or wheat in the poul-
try house and allow the hens to thresh
this out. They will work very hard
and long to get the last grain of wheat
or oats.
Some farmers have the erroneous
idea that because a hen can get by on
a ration of corn alone that she ought
to lay few eggs.
