PROVED TRUE TO HER WORD
Back Promptly, and It Was
Even More So

On one of my first excursions in our

stopped at the grocery with my car
parked with the back toward the store
door. l gave my order and told the
clerk that l would be back to get my
things in Il very few minutes.
AS l stepped into the car, my best
"beau" came down the street, and
anxious to show him how well l could
drive, l hurriedly threw into gear. [
raced the engine and let the clutch
out to get quick pickup.
1t proved to be a wonderful one, as
I had thrown into reverse and found
myself in the doorway of the grocery
store. l had gone over the curbing
and all, breaking the window as 1
bumped into the store.
The grocer hurried out, and when
he saw who it was, "Well," he said.
"you have proved yourself a woman of
your word, but it will cost you the
price of new show window"

MILK AND MEAT AS RIVALS
Rising Prices May Yet Force People to
Turn to the Fluid to Sus-
tain Life.

AS the price of meat scars upward,
many people are forced to be part
time vegetarians Thus the old ques-
ton, rs meat essential to human we'll
heingF arises again. The commit
tee on food and nutrition of the Ma
tional Research council has issued an
interesting report on the relative value
Of meat and milk.
Eighteen per cent of the protein and
energy of grain used in feeding. a COW
goes into the milk, and is therefore
recovered for human consumption
whereas only three and a half per cent
is recovered in beef. AS for the min
eral elements in hay and grain, not
much is stored in the tissues, but a
great amount goes into milk.
Beef profiteers, beware The hard
pressed public may decide to let milk
take the place of beefsteak.-Popular

A Possible Election Hitch-Other Items

I'd DISABILITIES growing out of
L the Tennessee suffrage tangle are
being officially considered, notwith-
standing the fact that Connecticut has
since made a ratification of sorts. The
possibilities arise out of constitutional
provisions that candidate must have
a majority in the electoral college to
secure his election. If courts should
declare, after the election has oc-
Cured, that the Tennessee ratification
Of suffrage was Illegal all women's
votes cast under authority of the nine
teenth amendment also would be lille
gal, and there would be nothing to do
but throw out the whole vote of states
where such illegal voting had occurred.
Thus. no candidate would have a ma
iolity Of the electors and the house Of
representatives would elect the presi-
dent.

Milk With a Delicious Sawdust Flavor

nal food was described by e. G. Sher-
rard and G. W. Blanco.
White sawdust, finely ground, is
treated with diluted sulphuric acid in
large boiler known as a digester I'M
der steam pressure. This breaks up
the fiber and extracts the sugar. To
prevent injurious effects, the acid is
neutraliZed by adding lime to produce
chemical reaction.
The liquid thus obtained, when
boiled down, is rich in sugar, and when
mixed with the fiber produces a moist
feed containing about Is per cent Of
water, in which form 1t is fed to dairy
cows.
At the forest products laboratory,
United States department of agrcul-
ture, Madison, Wis, experiments
proved that three cows thrived on this
sawdust ration and not only gave more
milk, but increased in weight. So says
Uncle Sam.
The result was so satisfactory that
the government has decided to take
the matter up on larger scale at the
experiment stations throughout the
country and furnish a detailed report
on the value of hydrolyzed sawdust as
cattle food. So says Uncle Sam.
So there you are. Probably milk,
cream and butter, with delicious saw
dust flavor will soon be added to the

by adding weight to the forward edge.

First Wireless Heard Round the World

THE first message from the United
Il States naval radio station, known
as the Lafayette radio station, at Bor-
sleauX, France, which is undergoing
official acceptance tests, has been re-
Ceived here. The message follows:
This Is the first wireless message to
De heard around the world and marks
A milestone on the road of scientific
achievement"
Secretary Daniels sent the follow
1ng message in reply: "My sincere
congratulations upon the successful
completion of the gigantic radio sta
zion named for that distinguished
Frenchmen whom all Americans honor.
Designed to serve a military purpose,
It will now serve to bind closer the
cordial relations which have always
existed between France and the United
States. On behalf of the United States
lavy | desire to express my pleasure

message to be heard around the world.

-rful signal a symbol of that force
and sympathetic understanding with
which the voice of France shall be
Aeard by its sister republic"
The Lafayette radio station was
built by the United States navy de-
partment, under the direction of the
bureau Of engineering and the bu-
reau of yards and docks. Its cOnstruc-
ton was begun during the war to

maintain wireless communication be-
tween this country and our forces in
France, since at that time there was
grave fear that German submarines
might be able to cut the trans-Oceanic
cables and leave Pershing isolated so
far as immediate communication with
the United States was concerned.
The station now completed is the
largest in the world 1t has eight
820-fOOt towers, and its engineering
features, while in general modelled on
those of our naval stations at Airing
ton and Annapolis, are unique both in
their magnitude and in some features
of their design.
The success of this station in
transmission is eXemplified by the
fact that the audbility of its signals,
as measured at the naval radio labora-
tory in the bureau of standards, is five
times the audibility of the similar sig
nails from the German radio station at
Nauen.

Once More the Nicaragua Canal Project

Alaska to Cape Horn), whereas on
the Isthmus of Panama it was 564
feet.
This is interesting because the Mica
r0ugua canal may yet be dug to sup
plement for commercial purposes the
facilities of the Panama ditch. The
route would be 1884 miles shorter from
New York to San Francisco than by
way of the isthmus; and the canal
would not cost more than One-third
as much as that of Panama-barring
however, the risen price of labor and
materials.
Looking at the map, one sees that
Nicaragua is wide compared with
the Isthmus of Panama. But also
one observes that much Of it's mar
rowest part is occupied by an immense
lake, 100 miles long and 45 miles
broad, out of which q large river,
called the San Juan, runs eastward all
the way of the Caribbean sea. A strip
only u miles wide separates the lake
from the Pacific ocean; three-fourths
of the rivers length is navigable, and
thus, as it might be said, most of the
digging has already been done by ma
ture.. ,..,
There would be, as a matter Of fact,
about As miles Of ditch 20 be dug; but
nearly all of this is through lowlands,
and the job would be CORRESPONDENCE
easy.
The distance across the Tehuante-
pee neck is 125 miles, as. the crow

yUASHINGTON.-Recently the Unit
w ed States government, by a pay
ment of $3,0O0O0O, has acquired the
exclusive right to dig a canal across
Nicaragua-a step prompted by a re-
port that Great Britain and Japan con-
templated the project as a Joint en-
terprise on their own account, anyway,
so says report.
1t was for a long time thought that
we would decide upon Nicaragua
route in preference to that of Panama,
but the final choice fell to the isthmus
mainly because of fear of the Nica-
raugan volcanoes, which are very tenn
peramental and sometimes fiercely ex-
plOSive
Nevertheless the proposed line Of
the NicaraguGn canal passed so miles
south of the nearest active volcano
and the route had certain conspicuous
advantages. For one thing, the high
est elevation to be crossed is only 155
feet (this being the lowest gap in the
