The AIrpIane as a Decoy.

Ever since wars have been waged
man has made use of decoys to outwit
the foe. Even in the recent war O
decoy proved to be useful once in q
while. An instance occurred at a point
on the western front where the British
trenches faced a salient of the Ger.
man trench system. At the time when
the British staff determined to reduce
the salient, the Daily Chronicle tells us,
the Germans were expecting an ordi-
nary attack with Its primary lombard
ment. They promptly fell into the trap
set for them.
Early in the morning a British air
plane flew very low over the front
line trenches and passed parallel to
the German line. but 500 or 600 yards
behind 1t. The Germans thought the
plane a target that could not be missed,
and turned their backs on the British
trenches to fire on the machine. While
they were engaging the airplane, the
British infantry suddenly went over
the top and In a few minutes captured
the position and took a number of pris-
oners.
The machine returned to its air.

ANOTHER CLINIC
OPEN TONIGHT
Industrial Branch to Be Held at
100 Smith Street

Beginning tonight an Industrial
Clinic for the employees of the vari-
i,ous industries of this city, will be
opened in Rooms II and 10 in the
First National Bank building at 1870
Smith street. The hours for this
o'clock. The clinic will be open each
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings. The actual work In the
clinic will be in charge OF Past AS
siStant Surgeon r. r. Spencer of the
United States Public Health Service.
DR.. Spencer has had wide expert
ence in connection with industrial
work and will afford the people of
Perth Amboy an opportunity to re-
ceive expert physical examination
and advice. For the benefit of the
women working in industries DR..
Eloise Meek will also be at the clinic
to examine and advise the ONE
DR.. Meek has had wide experience in
industrial work n will also afford
the women a source of expert advice.
DIR. Charles L. Silk, president of the
Board of Health, and DR.. Charles S.
Thompson, health officer, have for
some time been developing plans for
an industrial clinic for his city. They
have successfully enlisted the active
cooperation of both the State Depart
ment of Labor and the United States
Public Health Service in this work.
The clinic is not only for industrial
workers who feel hat they may have
some ailment, but for all those en-
gagged in any industrial work in the
community. The physical examina-
tons made in connection with the
work of the draft boards during the
war brought put with striking force
the fact that approximately thirty
three per cent. of the young men in
this country had some physical de-
feet. It Is possible that a mar who
feels perfectly we'll may have some
defect which when he undertakes a
certain line of work, may SO develop
that it will impair his health perma-
nently.
A physical examination may give
information which will prevent the
occurrence of any such catastrophe
and will enable any man to know
whether or not the occupation in
which he is engaged is a proper ono
for his physique. 1t is far better to /
check the development of diseases or
defects in their beginning or earlier
stages, than to build up the body af-
ter they have worn it down. 1t is to
uncover these physical defects and
advise the individual to council with
his own physician that this clinic is
being operated.

A 200,000-acre farm, the largest in
the world, which is the direct result Of
the governments efforts to stimulate
the growing Of wheat, is described by
Robert Fl. Moulton in Everybody's.
The farm is devoted entirely to
wheat, and II it produces somewhere
around the country's average of TWEEN
ty-eight bushels per acre, which Is
practically certain, 1t will add approx
mately 5,650,0OO bushels to the 1919
wheat crop" says the writer.
"All Of the work Is being done with
tractors. Last fall when the first
ground was broken, there were fifty
monster machines at work tearing up
the prairie sod. They pillow on an
average Of m acre a minute for the
working time. A record was made
one day of 1880 acres turned and
broken. All the seeding, harvesting,
ETC., will also be done by tractors, and
then, Of course, there are the thrash
ing machines. Hence, the absolute
no-accountness of horses about this
place"

HEART OF CORN BELT
FOR A c OF NATIONS

ROBERT HAYES, attorney-'T
have read all Of the Presidents
speeches, but / am still of the belief
tina the league covenant should be
accompanied by reservations. 1 am
not of the type which gets excited
over the question like the Republican
senator's, however.
e. G. McLAIN, lumberman-''The
President takes a somewhat strong
position In asserting that the cove
nant Is not open to criticism, and 1t
Is a little too prophetic to say that
the treaty will make war impossi-
ble.'
LAFE YOUNG. JR., newspaper
publisher have always been in
favor of the League of Nations. Any
one who was in France during tho
war as I was must be in favor of it.
Il think President Wilson's tour is
making great Roadway for the
league"
e. N. HOPKINS, conductor of
boys and girls farm clubs-"I have
always voted the Republican ticket,
but I was more than pleased with
President Wilson's exposition of the
League Of Nations and 1 am more
than ever in favor Of II. Accept the
covenant and amend it afterwards, IL
necessary is the sentiment of the
great majority of Iowans. both Re-
publicans and Democrats, who feel
that no business can be conducted
properly until the treaty Is ratified"
p. B. SHERIFF., monument maker
Tim a Republican, but I'm a firm
believer in the League of Nations.
Seven out of the nine members of
the chamber of commerce executive
committee which met President Will
son here are Republicans, and they're
all for the league. The critics who
are now fighting the treaty would
have criticised the President much
more severely If he had given the
country no opportunity to join
League of Nations"
WALTER FISHER, railroad shops
employe-"The League of Nations is
too deep for me, but 1 think If 1 I'M
derstood 1t I'd be for it. I work ten
hours a day and don't have time to
read more than the headlines of the
newspapers, so 1 don't know much
about it."
c. D. BRUBAKER, wooden mill
worker-"I'm a Wilson man, but I
don't know much about the League
of Nations and haven't studied it. I
voted for Hughes, but I'm sorry 1
did. I think Wilson has dom a good
Job"
J. =. KIRKPATRICK, hat maker
Tive read all of the Presidents
speeches since he started on his tour.
I hadn't studied the League of Ma
ton much before that, but I think
now that it's the only thing that can
keep this country out of foreign
wars"
D. w. CAMEN, tailor-"I sat pref
ty far back at the hall and I didn't
hear all the President said, but what
I did hear convinced me that the
League Of Nations is a mighty good
thing. Reservations? No, I haven't
paid any attention to them and I

Industry OXerdona.

The development of the coconut oil
industry in the Philippines has been
very rapid, due to war conditions. The
exports Of oil In 1918 amounted to
10000 tons, as compared with $4,000
tons in 1917 and 10000 tons in 1915.
There is a scarcity Of shipping to take
copra to Hull, England, and Marseilles,
France, which are the great centers
for oil crushing, hence 1t is found more
profitable to ship the less bulky oil to
the United States. A number Of new
oil mills have been constructed In the
Philippines in order to All the demand
for oil, but 1t is a serious question
whether the present crushing capacity
Of the Philippine mills is not In excess
Of the normal supply Of copra.
