A. E. F. Bridges for
National Forests

AS the Germans retreated their las.
effort was always directed at the de-
struction of the bridges behind then,
The United States Army engineers
prepared for this and were supplied
with what is known as Fabricated
materiaP'-steel girders and trusses
all drilled at the factory and ready to
be set up across the Aisne or the
Marine, or whatever river it happened
to be so that the Yank could cross and
again close with his foes.
The end OF the war came too soon
to make it necessary to use all this
bridge material, and the Bureau of
Public Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has its engineers
on the problem of adapting the sur
plus for use in the forest reserves
and national parks.
Fabricated material means that
the parts are ready drilled for con-
nection. This steelwork is, in short.
easily handled sections-no part
weighs over 1856 pounds-and it prob
ably will lend itself as easily to the
uses of the summer vacationist as to
the hobnailed tramp of an armed in
fantryman moving at double-quick.
Besides 16S spans of drilled ma
terial, there is at Camp Humphreys,
Va, about 900 tons of unfabricated
stuff. This will be examined by ex
perts and most of it will be used in
the national forests. A rough esti-
mate places the value of this surplus
material at about 100000.

Safety First

All matches are danger Gus from a
fire standpoint.
Smoking or striking matches in
barns or stables should never be al
lowed.
Pouring gasoline or kerosene on d
smoldering fire endangers life, limb,
and property.
Open-fame lights should not be used
in a garage or building containing a
gasoline engine or gasoline in stor-
age.
Never test for gas leaks with burn
ing match.
Every open fire should be watched
until it is out.
Fire attracts children; children
cause many fires.
All oily rags should De kept in a
metal container with an air-tight
metal cover.
The floor beneath should have metal
covering.
Fire hazard should be considered in
locating new buildings.
Woodwork should not come in con-
tact with any chimneys.

GROWING BULBS IN GRAVEL

be low and broad, and they should
certainly be watertight SO that they
can be placed safely upon shelf or
table.
The pebbles can be found at the
seaside or in the gravel banks as well
as in the Japanese and aquarium
shops. They are most attractive when
mostly white, and the stones should
not measure more than half an inch
in diameter, most of them being about
half that size. Two or three quarts
will be an ample supply, as the peb-
bles are readily washed out to be used
over and over again.
Of course, the Chinese lily narcissus
is the standard bulb to grow entirely
in pebbles. Remove the outer brown
coats of the bulbs and make three or
four vertical cuts in the outer scales
to give freedom of growth for leaves
and flower stalks. Then bury the
bulbs in the peoples nearly to their
tops if the bowl is deep enough or
set them on top if the bowl is shall
low. In either case keep them in the
light in cool, uniform temperature,
especially for the first three weeks.
By far the most satisfactory way to
grow the paper white narcissus is in
pebbles. Bury the bulbs well in the
little stones so that the tops show.

Bird Treaty

decision of widespread interest to
sportsmen and others affecting the
protection of migratory birds was
rendered by the United States Su-
preme Court on April 18th, when it
sustained the constitutionality of th7
migratory bird treaty between the
United States and Great Britain for
the protection of migratory birds ami
the act of Congress to give it effect.
This law is administered by the Bio
logical Survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
In March, 1919, the State of Mis-
souri, filed suit in the United States
District Court for the Western Dis
trict of Missouri against Ray P. Hol-
land, a United States game warden,
for the purpose of securing a re-
straining order prohibiting federal
wardens from enforcing the migra-
tory bird treaty act in the State, The
validity of the treaty and the act was
upheld in an opinion rendered by
Judge Arba S. Valkenburgh, of the
Western district of Missouri on July
2, 1919. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
which has affirmed the opinion of the
lower court.

CENSORSHIP OF THE HEART

is one of the outstanding figures
among the younger officers of the
Army in Philadelphia.

that boys and girls who are attracted
to each other mistake this natural
attraction for lasting affection, and
thoughtlessly plunge into matrimony,
with frequently tragic results. But

ship in our organization who contem-
plates marriage must first secure the
consent of Headquarters to his or her
engagement, and then wait a pre-
scribed length of time before marry
ing. This makes it a step that cannot
be taken without serious thought and
preparation, giving the persons in
yolved plenty of time in which to be-
come thoroughly acquainted and make
up their minds as to the future. We
have found it to be an admirable pro-
vision, and our marriages nearly al
ways turn out happily"
Besides the pledge to ignore all mat
ters of the heart while in training for
a commission, and for at least a year
after his or her appointment, every
candidate is made fully to understand
and abide by the fact that he or she
will probably not be allowed to marry
for two years after becoming an Off.
GER. This regulation, however, is
waived in the case of persons who
were engaged before applying for
commission. No young man, however.
is ever granted permission to marry
before he is twenty-five years of age,
unless required by Headquarters for
special service in which married man
would be more acceptable than single
one.
Headquarters, of course, reserve the
right to pass upon the suitability of
the chosen man or woman, stipulatiug
always, in the case of an officer who
wishes to marry a soldier, that the lat
ter might be willing to enter training
also to become an officer, and serve
six months after commissioning before
marrying. The couple may become
engaged, however, while the one is
only soldier, as long as he or she is
eligible for an oficership.

And this, of course, applies to women

or candidates for officership, the rules,

time very interesting. Such ques-
ton as, Are you courting? If not.
Go you pledge yourself to do nothing
of the kind while you are candidate
for commission, during training ard

appointment as field officer?" must
be satisfactorily answered before the
applicant is accepted and allowed to

honest answers given them have
proved many times over that they are

Many of the beautiful spring flow
ering bulbs may be grown in artistic
flower jars containing only water and
clean white pebbles that will prove
attractive to the most fastidious. We
have all seen this method employed
for the Chinese lilies, but few people
realize that it may be also employed
to good advantage for other bulbs.
Many bulbs may be grown from the
first in the pebbles, but there are
better results from starting them in
the usual way in soil in boxes or
flower pots and then transferring
them to the pebbles when they show
their buds. To do this it. is only
necessary to carefully wash the roots
free from soil and bury them in the
pebbles, taking care to break them
as little as possible. The florists now
offer through the winter started
bulbs" in pots that hold about dozen
plants. These are ideal for such trans
fers and save the trouble of growing
the bulbs from the beginning.
In choosing the bowls and jars for
the bulbs there is splendid opportun-

they should be beautiful in form and
simple in outline, subdued and har-
monious in coloring and with little

Bamboo is a Dual
Service Plant

NebuchadneZzar has attracted some
centuries of curiosity as grazing
human but he deserves no credit for
the unique quality hfis exploit. The
Bureau of Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture, as
serts that the natives of the Far
East were eating grass in the form o,
edible bamboo sprouts long before the
scion of Babylon royalty adopted the
diet And now the tender sprouts of
bamboo prepared for the table in the
same manner as asparagus, is de-
declared to be a delicious spring vege-
table for American tables.
1t probably is news to most Amer
leans to learn that there are several
bamboo plantations of undoubted
value already established in Georgia
and Louisiana. Bamboo, according 10
scientists, is not tree, but a giant
grass. 1t grows like asparagus, the
new plants forming from the original
roots. The bamboo sprout shoots up
at the incredible rate of a foot day
and when mature has a stem 4 inches
in diameter and so feet high. 1t re-
quires no cultivation. The grown
timber has an infinite number of in
dustrial uses owing to the light COM
position of the wood and its long.
tough fibers. 1t can be used for barrel
hoops, ladders, trellises, etc.
1t is valuable crop. In 1912 the
leading japanese growers estimat ed
an annual profit of $50 an acre from
the sale of edible sprouts and growT
timber. Present conditions would
warrant much larger profit. An acra
of bamboo will produce about 1908
edible shoots each spring and viii
continue the production for 40 or 50
years without being renewed.

period Of q days, the change in the
number of heat units received by the
eggs is quite considerable, and dis
aster is almost certain to follow.
This brings us to the very important
question of the accuracy of the ther.
mometer.
Because thermometer is new, or
bears no trace Of mechanical injury,
is no assurance as to it's accuracy. II
is possible for a thermometer to
register correctly when it leaves the
factory, and in a years time be a
degree or fraction of a degree off.
Glass change ges-undergoe structuraI
changes-much the same as wood
contracts, and the seasoning process
alters, or is likely to alter, the regis
ter of the mercury.
Obviously, to be sure of a ther-
mometer it should be tested each
year at the beginning of the hatch
ing season. Any optical store will
certify thermometer for a small
charge, and with this certified ther-
mometer you can test any number oi
others. Or you can buy certified
clinical thermometer and do all your
own testing.
To test thermometer is nothing
more than comparing it with an in
strument of known accuracy, with
warm water as medium Place the
instrument in luke warm water, being
careful to observe that both are i'm
mersed under precisely the same coli
ditions.
When Matching eggs are first
placed in an incubator, though the
temperature of the egg chamber may
have registered normally, the heat
will fall instantly. In fact, the ther
mometer will probably fall so low
as not to be read at all. Do not be
alarmed; this is to be expected. Il
