Sunday evening messages were being
delivered to scores of homes in Keno

boys who had been in France for more
than year. The first message to come
over the wire was from Walker Perkins
who had been with the Headquarters
Company and following came one from
Harry Rose and the telegraph operators
and the messenger boys were kept busy
all evening taking to the homes the
glad news that the boys who had gone
out to fight were back in the country
and on their way to Camp Devin from
which camp they will be sent later to
rehabilitation camps in this section of
the country. It would be impossible
to tell just how many of the Battery

that all of the boys are back together

CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN.

1t is house cleaning time for every city, town
and village in the United States. This year, more
than any other, it is imperative that every CEN
ter of population be put in sanitary condition.
This means the safeguarding of the public
health and the assurance that the returning sol
diers who have escaped the perils of shell fire
and disease abroad shall not be in danger of pes
thence when they return home. After an open
winter in many parts of the country the need of
extreme measures to assure the removal of re-
fuse in streets and alleys has been realized by
many municipal governments, but to guard
against epidemic it is imperative that the whole
nation should apprehend that it is a patriotic
duty to take every possible precaution to prevent
a great mortality during the summer months.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME.

The fact that plans for dwellings, prepared by
the United States Housing Corporation during
the war time various government projects, are
to be made available for general public by
the Own Your Own Home section, information
and education service United States Department
of Labor, will serve to stimulate the interest of
women in all parts of the country in this move
ment.
Several types of houses have been selected, and
the plans for these will be given to Own Your Own
Home committees which are now carrying on
campaigns in more than 40 cities. These plans
are for dwellings that will best serve the needs
of average families. Beauty and utility have
been combined in the most practical manner ans
the plans are capable of many variations. It is
explained that the purpose is not to interfere in
any way with the work of local architects by
thus providing government plans, free of cost,
but it is expected that when the estimates in
widely separated states are compiled the infor-
nation will be of value to prospective home own
ers, while it will afford comparisons of the vary
ing cos of construction in many parts of the
United States. The employment of local archi-
tects is advocated.
Requests that local Own Your Own Home
campaigns be started without delay were sent
out by the United States Department of Labor
April to 400 cities. Letters were addressed to
mayors. labor organizations, and the clergy, as
well as to clubs and other associations that have
expressed willingness to aid the campaign. While
there 40 cities conducting well-advanced
Own Your Own Home campaigns, nearly 200
others have started the work of stimulating
building.

THE WORLDS REACTION.

Richard Spillane, noted economist, writes as
follows in regard to the present era of extrav-
agance:
Germany, on the brink of an abyss of debt
and privation, which means, perhaps, century
of tribulation and tribute, dances. While states
men study what it is possible for Germany to pay
we hear of German gambling in the streets at
day and prancing about the floors of beer halls
at night, despite riot and civil warfare in man3'
German cities by day and by night.
The industrial prostration England knew at
the time of our Civil War owing to being cut off
from much of Americas raw material, was trivial
to what England knows today, yet London never
was so gay specifically. AS in Berlin there is a
craze for dancing. In the great town houses it
has become the custom to have dancing parties
night after night with supper or breakfast at
5 a. m. to mark the closing of festivities. And
yet in India, the largest dependency of the Brit
ish empire, there RACES of the greatest fam
ines in history, and there is rebellion in Egypt
and near rebellion constant in Ireland.
In America there is extravaganza unprece-
dented. The trade in jewelry in the four months
of December, January, February and March is
said to exceed any twelve months on record.
There is barbaric demand for diamonds, rubies,
pearls and such things So, too, with fine furs.
There is a worldwide craze for splurging. To
many persons this may seem abnormal 1t is
not unusual 1t follows every war. 1t is mans
unconscious effort to even the distribution of
joys, or what pass for joys, with the sorrows.
Life is series of reactions.
This is only temporary, transitory nantes
tation. The world will sober bit later. The
world always balances itself somehow.
Despite the present manifestations of waste,
careless living, extravaganza and hectic frivol-
ing the world has been enriched by the war and
the soul of man has been stirred to better things.

THE AGE OF MARYELS.

The most powerful machine in the world, ex-
erting pressure of ten million pounds, is the
Olsen testing machine, in the Pittsburgh labora-
tories of the U. S. governments bureau of stan
dards.
Without this stupendous engine, buildings
like the Woolworth, that cathedral of commerce,
would be possible but dangerous. It tests brick
piers or great columns of steel and concrete, to
show how much overhead weight they can stand
before giving way.
The cave man could exert only the power
stored up in his muscles. He could not even move
a heavy boulder, for he knew nothing of the prin-
ciple of the crowbar. Today in Pittsburg, a
slender workman throws on an electric switch
and thereby puts weight of ten million pounds
into motion.
Yet the powerful Olsen machine is simple
looks like an old-fashioned letter press big
scale. Like all of mans inventions, it is only an
extension of his fingers. A pair of scissors is
an extension of two fingers with long sharp nails.
The brcklayer's bod or the walters tray is mere
ly an extension of the open palm. Form your
hand into cup and you have the principle of the
the steam shovel. Like the cupped hand, the
steam shovel's movements are directed by the
brain.
| Fascinating are other instruments in the same
quarters with the Olsen machine. Scales so
sensitive chat hundred-millionth of ounce
will move them; as you approach, the heat of
your body makes them CULVER.
Another instrument shows how much heat a
ray of light brought with it when it left a star
ten years before.
| The bureau of standards has apparatus for
measuring heat that will melt rock and cold SO
extreme as to liquify air. You would think the
apparatus would melt too. Like the SCIENTISTS
of the Middle Ages who searched centuries for
the Universal Solvent, the acid that would dis
solve anything. One day sinpleton asked what
they would be able to keep it in even if they
found it.
| All these inventions of higher science are
based on light wave. The interferometer, light
wave machine, can determine difference of
length as small as two-milionths of an inch. De-
stroy all standards of length in the world-yard-
sticks, rulers, tape-lines-and they could all be
restored by referring to the interferometer and
what it reveals about the red line in the spec
trum of cadmium.
This is the age of magic-Black Art-in
science Only few centuries since man made
measurements by PAGES or the length from elbow
to extreme fingertip, and kept tally with sticks
Today we have a yardstick made of light waves

Among the women of Aghanistan the strongest
superstition attaches to the potency of the frog
as a love charm. The mode of procedure is as
follows: Two frogs are tied back to back. A
black heart is painted upon the bullfrog, while
the head of the COW frog is similarly ornamented.
The pair are then baked alive and the remains
reduced to powder, which, sprinkled upon some
dear friend, is supposed to cause her to lose the
favor of her husband and to give place to the
rival.

In the United States we are not In
so much need OF tree planting as they
are In the British isles. But there are
two kinds of timber which the war de-
mand has greatly depleted. and they
are kinds Of much importance. locust
and black walnut
There is another point TO be consid-
cred In the planting of these trees:
They can be grown on sandy tracts of
land which are now considered of no
value. and thus reclaim this land.
An excellent illustration of what
can be accomplished in the way of re-
claiming useless land through the
planting Of trees has been carried out
during the last six or eight years by a
resident of Whiteside county. Illinois.
In these years he has accomplished the
seemingly impossible task of turning

Mans Work Should Provide
Happiness and Peace of Mind

A mans work should always mean
more to him than a mere means of live
iihood. He should draw from 1t happi-

he can do only II he looks upon. his
work as contributing something worth
while TO the lives of his fellow men.
For men are so built that the con-
seriousness of rendering service is an

who have not this consciousness are

do not work at all or work up to the
limit Of their powers and whether the
monetary return from their work is
