morning quite a number Of worllmen

were loath to attribute the absence TO
the cold weather. A general survey of

son, A snowfall such as came yester-
day makes rabbit hunting excellent,
and many hunters with eager dogs and
shining guns directed their steps to the
woods and recreation instead of the
stonesheds and work. Many hunters,
however, are waiting to have few
days vacation later when the annual
deer season opens on Dec. |. According
to the law, deer can be killed only dur
ing the week of Dee. /, that is, from
Monday until Saturday from o'clock
in the morning until 8 o'clock in the
afternoon. But since the season was
reduced by action of the legislature
from two weeks to one, the killing Of
both male and female deer was declared
legal this season. Firearms and supply
firms are having a buster season than
usual, due to added interest in outdoor
life and hunting by the ex.soldier.

has been said Of the practice. Those

a hydrant and realize that any means
might be used for removing any OBJ

for their own good and the safety Of

San FranciScO.--A mans voice can

IT'S no trick at all TO magnify

needful is to connect a number of
vacuum valves in multiple with a

done. At the first receiving contact

Observation-Disclosures who fought
against Spain in 1898 lost in weight
ON an average of % pounds each; the
average American soldier at the end Of
the fighting in 1913 weighed - pounds
more than he did when the ~selective
service act or his own volition brought
him into the army"
Thus the success won by the army'S
subsistence branch in the great war
is epitomized in chapters of the Off
cial war material" history made pub
lie by the war department.
The food problem Of an army of
100000 Americans is visualized in the
history by considering the force as a
single man and the entire war period
as n dinner hour. Articles cOmpriS-
ed in the army ration assumed these
tremendous totals:
Roast beef, 500, COO, 1000 pounds; ba-
con, 100000 o pounds; flour (bread)
1,GOO,OOO,00O pounds; butter, 17,500,-

The bill for this meal amounted to
1927, 100000 to December /, 1913, the
nor ponifa nnSt haNinr riSaa from, 4
cents in 1897 to 4S in 1913.
9,OoO,C 600 Pounds Daily.
At the time of the armistice, Ameri-
can soldiers in France were consum-
ing 100000 pounds Of food daily
Moving this %stupendOus quantity over
the 3,O00-mile communication was the
principal obstacle to be overcome.
This and the necessity for conserving
cargo space led directly in the later
months to the shipment Of dehydrated
vegetables to the American expedition
airy force.
"Tbe problems were solved only by
the assistance of the American food
industry" the report says, and while
instances were found Of food specifi-
cations being violated, these are de-
clared to have been very few and in
most instances not Intentional.
The emergency ration Of the Ameri-
can soldier, designed to be used only
In cases Of extremity, was perfected
during the war to consist of three
cakes of beef, prepared with a bread
compound Of groundj cooked wheat,
each cake weighing three ounces
three one-Ounce cakes Of chocolate,
three-fourths ounce fine salt, and one
dram black pepper.
A special ration was designed for

close to the Broke and the other de-
stroyers which kept moving up the
line. Throughout the firing Admiral
Mayo remained on the bridge, making
Il close observation of the enemy's
work. The attack finally ceased with
out any direct hits being made by the
Germans.
Feeling a little more at ease, the
party returned, and taking British de
Stroyers went across the channel to
Dover. The excitement all over, but
still with the thrill of having been In
the midst Of the very lively engage
ment, Admiral Mayo and the party
bearded the train for London. They
had hardly got n fair start when the
alarm for an air raid was sounded.
Raiding parties coming from German
territory were known not to waste
over the land followed the railroad
tracks to London.
"All lights were e~XtinguiShed, every
thing was down to n whisper, and the
party was again under the guns Of the
enemy. Then came all clear and the
American visitors continued their jour
ney to London with the real experience
of having been under fire.
admiral Mayo has never mentioned
his experience Of having been directly
under the enemy's guns when they
were directed from land to forces at
sea, but his own war diary no doubt
carries a rather vivid series of remi-
niscences with some observations and
would be interesting TO read"

nails travel down the aerial wire to
the tuning set and then TO the vacuum
valve, which is a "detector," or re-
ceiver.
For practical purposes the vacuul.
valve has its use, as in warships,
where the wireless telephone speaks
its message through a horn TO several
officers instead of to II using ear
pieces. 1t car be availed Of TO address
audiences.
The wireless telephone is wonder
fully extending the field developed by
the wireless telegraph. Any wireless
telegraph receiving set is equally good
for receiving telephoned messages.
The transmitting instruments, of
course, are different.
Every airplane possessed by Uncle
Sam and all United States warships
are equipped with wireless telephone
apparatus. These sets on warships
are efficient at least 20 miles.

CHART NATIONAL AIR LINES
Army Air Service Completing Maps of
Three Cross-Country Trunk
Routes.

Washington.-The army air service
has made substantial progress In the
work of preparing national aerial
routes, the map already showing q
number Of travel lanes In 80 states.
The entire country will be covered as
soon as adequate data has been COM
piled.
Information entered on the master
map here covers every detail necessary
for the successful operation Of an air
plane over the territory shown. Dis
tances, fields, suitable landing sta
tons, places where vital supplies and
parts may be obtained, as well as CON
dition Of terrain, all are noted.
1t is proposed to chart three trunk
routes from coast to coast, with about
twenty-four feeding or distributing
routes, which, it is stated, would
bring every city and town in the Uni
ted States within six hours flying time
Of the distributing points" Compile
ton Of the national map is expected
before the close Of the year.

INVENTORS HELPED WIN WAR
Patents, Long Held Up, Are Now Be.
ing Allowed-Come From All
Sections.

WashingtOn.-The latest war secret
70 leak out is how friendly inventors
all over the world gave to the United
States their ideas for death dealing
machines for the destruction of Ger
many.
A companion secret is how all these
ideas were kept from the enemy by the
"seven serious S~phinXes' of the patent
office. This was q board of seven men,
of unQuestioned loyalty and sworn
secrecy, empowered to examine and
withhold patents on war machines I'M
til the wal was over' and meanwhile
turn ideas of promise over to the gov
eminent.
More than 1000 devices which it was
thought might be Of value to the Uni
ted States or the allies were passed
upon and 200 were important enough
to get before military authorities. Some
Of them, 1t is said, helped win the war.
The ideas came from England,
France, Switzerland, Hawaii, New Zea-
land, Australia, Mexico, Spain, Italy,
Russia, Poland and one from Germany.
OF course, a larger number came from
within the United States. Now that
the war is over the patents are being
allowed.

larity was chewing gum, more than
100000 packages n month being con-
Sumed.
Economies Effected.
Interesting statistics are given Of
economies effected in changes in de-
sign. For instance, elimination Of lac
ingS and eyelets in trousers saved ST.
100000, and the redeSigning Of the
coat cut the cost Of this garment 49,
100000. Expert cutting reduced the
consumption Of cloth 23-10O Of a yard,
and saved 100000 yards on the to-
tai order.
Innovations resulting from short
ages in material included the substi-
tuition Of American dyes for the Ger
man product and the use of vegeta-
bic ivory" in button-making.
The activities Of the quartermaSter
corps (afterward taken over largely
by the bureau of purchase, storage and
supply included also the furnishing of
hats, shoes, boots, fuel, oil, paint, tools,
harness, and harness equipment, and
even music. Prominent composers
volunteered for the work of selecting
