TRIBUTE TO THE cow

The cow is most wonderful labo-
ratory. She takes the grasses of the
pasture, and the roughage of the field
and converts them into the most per-
feet food for man. In that food there
is a mysterious something which scien-
lists have found essential to the high
est health of the human race, and
which can be found nowhere else.
Men have sought for centuries the
tabled Fountain of Youth. The near
est approach to that fountain which
has yet been discovered is the udder
of the cow. Without her milk, chill
dren languish, the vigor of the adult
declines, and the vitality of the hui
man race runs low. Millions of these
gentle, unobtrusive foster mothers
of man have become victims of the
late war. The world faces shortage
of dairy products. Let us help meet
this shortage in every way we CAM

EX.-CROWN PRINCE TO
BE SUED FOR DIVORCE

The former German crown princess
Cacile has taken steps to divorce her
husband, Frederick William, accord
ING to a statement of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, mother of the former crown
princess. The statement says that IL
has long been the desire of Ceclle 10
divorce her husband, but that the
nressure of the Hohenzollern FANNY
nm to this time had prevented ner
from carrying it out.
The statement of the grand duchess
charges Frederick William with cruel
ty to his wife, saying;
con one occasion some time ago
the situation became so unbearaole
that my daughter actually fed from
her home. She almost succeeded IN
reaching Switzerland. Orders were
sent from Berlin to intercept her and
she was captured at the German
frontier like a common criminal ana
taken to Berlin under arrest.
"My daughter will be able to place
before the German court overwhelm-
ing evidence against her husband and
will be able to prove many instances
of the grossest cruelty against HIM:
His infidelities were numerous ana
there is abundant proof of them. His
brutality was atrocious. On more
than one occasion my daughter was
treated with actual violence. She
was bruised and her face was distig-
ured by her husbands blows"
Recent Berlin dispatches said that
Frederick William has instituted pro-
ceedings for divorce, but there have
been no further reports on the case.
The former crown prince and Princess
CeciIe were married in June, 1919.
The former crown prince is in exile
in Holland.
The former Grand Duchess Anas-

TURKEY IN DISORDER
MASSACRES AS USUAL

London, Apl. lit is learned here
that the situation in Turkey is causing
grave anxiety. Internal disorder and
rife, according to reports from Rear
Admiral Webb, r. NJ, at Constantine
ople 1t is feared there will shortly
be outbreaks and massacres of the Ar
menian population on a large scale.
The situation at Smyrna, where the
Turks and Greeks are ready to spring
at each others throats, is typical of
the situation throughout Turkey.
Bands of brigands are dominating the
country, even within a few miles of
Constantinople and committing atroc-
ious murders.
The committee of union and pro-
gress, the Young Turk organization,
which was driven from power in Con-
stantinople as a result of the allied
victory, is reported to be secretly con-
Quoting an energetic reorganization
movement.
Further disorders are feared in
Egypt. A division of British troops
is on the way from the Dobrudja to
reinforce the troops of Major Gen
eral Allenby, the special high COM
missioner to Egypt, and to relieve a
large number of Australian and New
Zealand soldiers who will return home.

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation OF structural ma
teriaIs, which may be obtained through
the application Of paint, constitutes a
most vital means Of furthering the con-
servation of our natural resources. It
is, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep of any commu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets OF In
dia rubber would not be as well protect
ed from decay as a structure coated
with a good oil paint. This is due to
the fact that sheet OF rubber Is not
so durable or as waterproof as a thin
dried film of paint. The latter mate
rial when applied dries to a continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. square foot of such a
film upon a wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet it will beautify and
protect a dollars worth Of surface for
many years. This is a low rate of in
surHnCe.
Dwellings, barns, Outbuildings, sheds,
posts. fences, stock enclosures, wagons,
implements, windmills and other struc-
jurrs, whether of wood, iron or cement,
should be preserved, through the use
of paint. from rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes ColOreG paints will be
ound the most seviceable, the coloring
matter in the paint adding from two
To three years to the life Of pc coating.

house regularly. say. every three OF four

Answer.-Good paint properly ap-
piled when needed is the main thing In
making a house last long and well. A
house worth $500 can be painted ut
cost Of about $125. In go years that
house will need about is paintings
the total cost Of which will be 81. S9d
Left without paint, such house would
fall into complete ruin in 80 years. So
taking 60 years as basis for our dg-
ures we find that with paint q home
will last that time in good condition
and will cost plus paint, $4,375. With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the end of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost, without paint, $4,000 for
a home ready to fall to pieces. Does

OUESTIONNAIRE
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLExINo PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-The government has launched
an educational campaign to encourage
building in order to put more men to
work. Would not a similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also help?
Answer.-It Is learned that such
plan is in effect and Is linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works Of war to the ways Of peace.
Employment must be found, In the
meanwhile, for those whose Occupa-
ton has been interrupted. There Is NO
real surplus Of labor in the United
States. Rather there is shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi-
ditions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities Of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now of, and there Is
scarcely q town, a city. factory, a
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
a crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex"
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That Is not logical. No matter what
1t costs to repair, the cost Is less than
the cost Of neglect. No matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect a higher bill in
deterioration and decay.

No Pleas on Monkeys.

5Perhaps the most surprising infOr- nation gathered with respect to fleas is that monkeys have no fieas. This is an assertion that is commonly received with astOnishment and incredulity, but, says Howard Russell, the fore most authority on fieas, healthy wild monkeys are much too clean and ac- tive to harbor f1eas, and when they are seen searching one anOther's fur in a fashion familiar to all of us 1t is only to clear their skin of any particles of scurf and dirt.
 It may be mentioned, too, that only one instance is on record where flea was found on reptile. This was on a brown snake which was captured near Perth, in West Australia, and which was probably derived from some small mammal devoured by the snake. The flea was firmly fixed between the scaly plates of the reptile.
 The history of the flea would seem to go back many centuries. but the only fossil remains of flea that have so far been found is single insect in bit of Baltic amber. The flea is ad- mirably preserved by it's semi-transpar- ent surroundings.

PROVES PLATE GLASS FADES
Window From Fashionable Haberdash- er's Store, Installed in Fashionable ..
 Residence, Still Carried Ad

An amusing incident is related in the Scientific American to prove that plate glass fades under exposure to sunlight The glass originally is slightly green, and after some years of use becomes pure white. The incident is briefly as follows:
 In making some changes in the front of a haberdasher's store, a five-foot piece of plate glass was removed and taken away by the glaZier. In course of time this sheet was installed in the front window of a new residence. The family. had scarcely moved in when they began to receive telephone mes sages suggesting that the neighbor- hood was scarcely appropriate for a shirt factory. They were mystified until they discovered that when the sunlight struck their window at a cer- tain angle the words, John Doe Shirts Made to Order" shone out upon the glass.
 The explanation was that when the glass formed the haberdasher's window it had borne these words in white en- amelled letters. and the letters had protected the underlying glass from the rays of the sun. consequently it had not faded as the rest of the glass had done.

Soap Bubbles Are Thin.

Prof. J. Perrin has made study of soap bubbles-just the kind that lit- tie folks blow with clay pipes-and he announces that they are five millimi- crons thick. This means that it would take more than 5000,0OO films of q soap bubble to make one inch in thick ness.
 While this Is getting things down pretty fine, still the elementary leafiet of mica is finer. Mica can be split down to thickness of one molecule, which is thinner than the thickness or the skin of a soap bubble, which sug- gests that the latter must be crystal line in structure. Just before a soap bubble bursts dark spots form on It.. He found that these housed still dark CT, smaller spots. These are droplets of water surrounded by strata con densed upon the membrane. They are described as being like dust notes in A sunbeam.-Detroit News.

PHENOMENON OF A BLUE SUN
Cause, Astronomers Assert, Was the Eruption of Large Volcano
 at Sunda States.

Astronomers of different countries have more than once recorded a blue moon This remarkable phenomenon has been twice observed, both in Italy and Austria, but only once in England.
 A blue sun has appeared once only, and will probably never be seen again even to the end of existence, astron- omers say. This occurred in August. 1888, at the Sunda States. The cause was the eruption of large volcRno. In the terrible shock that followed a great range of mountains was blown completely into the air. The cavity left on the Sunda States after this explosion was 1000 feet deep. Billions of tons of rock, dust and mud were blown heayenward for no less than IT miles.
 It can be understood what the ex- plosion was like when 1t is said that at Batavia, exactly 100 miles away the street lamps had to be lit although the time was not yet noon. The sun up to this time was completely ob scured but toward sunset-the sunset that only the tropics know-came the magnificent phenomenon known to astronomers as the blue sun. This was seen by every one within 30 or 40 degrees of the equator.

Chess.

God and Satan play chess together. But the chess they play is not the little ingenious game that originated in In- dia; it is on an altogether different scale. The ruler of the universe ere ates the hoard. the pieces. and the rules he makes all the moves; he may make as many moves as he likes when ever he likes his antagonist, however, is permitted to introduce slight in- applicable inaccuracy into each move. which necessitates further moves in correction. The creator determines and conceals the aim of the game, and it is never clear whether the pur- pose of the adversary is to defeat or assist him in his unfathomable pro ject.-H q. Wells.
