WASHINGTON - When this gets around, the
pigeon protection bill of DR.. Joseph L.. Pfei-
fer, Brooklyn congressman, medico and fan
cier, is probably going to have a lot more
chance of consideration than it has had in
recent sessions.
The news is that the U. S. signal corps is
interesting itself in the registration tfor pos
sible use in defense emergency of the coun-
try's trained homing pigeons. The signal corps
has dispatch riders, telephone and telegraph
lines, wireless and radio, but when all lines
are out, the circuits dead, and riders can't
get through, there's nothing so handy, it seems,
as a homer that can wing its way back to
headquarters.
The signal corps has pigeons-lots of them
but as a means of building a reserve supply,
the corps plans to ask all private fanciers
to register their lofts. This way, the army fig
ures, it could, in an emergency, get about
so, 1000 trained pigeons in no time at all.
USED BY SPIES
Stories keep drifting in from England about
the use of honning pigeons in the present war,
particularly in getting information back from
the continent, where it is reported Great Brit
ain has an elaborate spy system, abetted by
thousands of persons in German-controlled ter
ritory who are willing to take all sorts of
risks to contribute to British victory. There
has been some talk in army circles that car
riers may be supplied to these spies in para
chute cages. At any rate, it is estimated that
20, 900 pigeons now are in use in Great Brit.
ain.
If these were U. S. signal corps pigeons, the
parachutes wouldn't be necessary. Army train
ers recently have made a contribution to mill
tary science which, I'm told, has a lot of fan
clers bugeyed. They are training signal corps
carriers to fly both ways.

U FLY TO FRONT

HS Lue SlSudl corps explains IL, these Two
way pigeons, under modern battle conditions,
would fly forward in groups of IL from the
message receiving point near headquarters to
the front lines or outposts. Having delivered
their messages there, they would be kept over
night in cages and sent on the return trip the
following day.
All OF the signal corps pigeons already have
been trained to do their mile-a-minute stint
at night, a feat which the signal corps of other
wars would have considered impossible.
The signal corps largest carrier cantonment
is at Fort Monmouth, N. j., where more than
600 well trained birds are kept in 20 lofts
pigeon apartment houses. Each pigeon has his
own apartment and his own generous portion
of food and water.
CAPSULES STAY PUT
Never having become more familiar with
pigeons than in making the acquaintance you
strike up feeding them crumbs around til e
White House and State Department building,
l had a lot to learn. For example, the leg
band which homers carry through life is
placed on them when they are less than a
week old, training starts and in another two
weeks the message capsules are attached to
their legs and stay there from that time on.

Old and their usefulness extends to varying
periods. The average is about eight years.
Eight years is mere infancy, however, to
the arnly's most famous pigeon. He's 1.-THE
Kaiser" and probably the only carrier veteran
OF the World war alive today. He got his
name when American troops picked him up
on a battlefield where he had been left by
retreating Grmans. The leg-band he still
wears bears the seal of the Imperial German
army. 1.-THE KAISER no longer flies, of course,
but that doesn't keep him from being the most
popular tenant of the lofts at Monmouth. 4

 Those were modest words Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg - and they proved wrong. For Americans do remember, still live for the ideal he expressed that day: That govern ment of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth"
 Ironic ally enough, Lincoln thought his great address was a failure. Following Edward Everett, featured speaker, Lincoln got little applause. His talk was so brief, few realized it was over.
 Later, Horace Greeley called the Gettysburg address "the finest gem in American literature" and today it is preserved in the Library of Congress-but you may have an ex- act replica of it, to frame for your home!

The four bin is one of the inn portant arsenals of home nutrition al defense. It is important to know the different types of flour.
 Wheat flour makes large, light loaves of bread. The wheat contains two special proteins. When mixed with liquid they form sticky, elas- tic mass known as gluten.
 Good quality gluten is very elas- tic. It can easily double in bulk" without breaking. lour that contains this high quality gluten is called "strong" flour. It is made from the hard wheat types and is the bakers first choice for making yeast bread.
 In the modern milling process, the four is separated into several streams, each slightly different. The grade of the flour depends on the way these streams are mixed. Pat ent flour is the usual grade sold in retail grocery stores.
 CAKES NEED WEAK" FLOUR
 When you make fine cakes and pastry, you're interested in tender mixture-not in strong gluten. In fact, too much gluten makes the cake tough and rubbery. So, for cakes and pastry, the home baker uses a weak" flour that comes from soft wheat.
 Many homemakers prefer to buy just one kind of flour that will be suitable for anything they bake bread, mullins, biscuits, or cake For them there Is an "all purpose or family" flour-a blend of hard and soft wheat, that has enough gluten to make good yeast bread and will also produce fairly tender cakes and quick breads.
 Rye flour is also used for bread but 1t is usually combined with wheat flour, because the gluten formed is not very elastic. Corn oats, rice, potatoes, soybeans. lima beans and buckwheat Hours contain no gluten. Mix them with wheat flour to make a light loaf of bread
 SET TO MEASURE
 In following a recipe, the exact measurements are important, ano flour is probably the trickiest of the ingredients to measure. If the flour is packed down, you may be able to get as much at 1 1-2 cups into a one-cup measure. That's why rec ipes tell you to sift the flour before you meause it-except coarse whole wheat flour which will no go through an ordinary sitter.
 In making dough, the cook may be puzzled to find that the recipe suggests only an approximate

The jacket is tailored and well-cut-and it's long enough to conceal all your figure problems. Darts at the waist are optional but important for neat semi fitting lines; link-buttOns may fasten the jacket in front. You might let those beautifully shaped revers be of contrast, in print t.. tie-up with the fabric of the dress. Just see how smart the short sleeved frock looks all on its owni It's very simple in style, with a soft cut bodice and darting at the shoulders and above the waistline to keep the fullness just where you need 1t most. Buttons may be sewn down the center bodice seam to breakup" your width across; a single panel gives a slimming effect to the skirt front. Let the belt tic in back or in front. Wouldn't one of the new white-on-eo prints be lovely for the frock, with the jacket of ground color?

 ON BRIDGE
This is the fourth of a series of six articles on the McPher- ran No Trump.
 0e
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

In my previous articles I explain ed that in responding to the original McPherran one no trump bid, the bid of two clubs is forcing and two of a suit is not. Today I want to explain to you the response of two no trump. The hand that calls for this response is one on which you are certain that game can be made, even though your partner holds a sub-minimum hand Type No. l, or a freak hand Type No. 2. This bid shifts the captaincy of the hand from the original no trump bidder to the responding hand.
 When you respond with two no trump, if your partner has the sub minimum Type No. hand. he must bid three no trump. If his hand is the freak type, he simply bids his suit. If he has what would be termed good suit, say, a six-card suit to the ace-king-queen or ace queen jack, he should jump to four of that suit. Here is an example:

THE CACHEXIA OF RIGGS
 DISEASE

In a joint session of medical and a dental society one of the younger dentists, discussing paper, gave some excellent suggestions concerning diet in the treatment of the condition under discussion. He was shushed by an older dentist who reminded his colleagues that dentists must have care how far they go in advising patients about diet, lest they lay themselves open to a charge of practicing medicine without a license. Need I say more?
 Cachexia is a condition of gen. eral i'll health with malnutrition and wasting of the body due to some chronic constitutional affection.
 Sepsis is a poisoned state due to absorption of germs or their pro- ducts (toxins) from region or focus of infection sue has the pus pocket or gum boil'' in Riggs dis ease.
 Sepsis is secondary factor in many cases of pyorrhea and re- quires close cooperation between the physician and the dentist for successful treatment of pyorrhea. But it is certain that infection, in- vasion of the gum tissues or the lining of the tooth sockets or the other tissues involved in Riggs disease or chronic gengivitis is not the main cause of the trouble. Ex- perience has shown the futility of treating the condition on that basis. The main cause is deeper, consti- tutional, cachexis-in short wasting, atrophy, nutritional deficiency. Spe- officially, in my opinion the funda- mental cause of pyorrhea alveolaris, Riggs disease, chronic hterstitial gengivitis, periodontal disease or whatever name you prefer to call it, is prolonged o habitual shortage in the intake of

 Tn malnutrition or cellular vast ing or atrophy due to inadequate intake of one or more of these es- sential accounts for the constitu- tional condition, the cachexia of Riggs disease; it accounts also for the lowered immunity to infection in the gums and tooth sockets this is especially due to the vitamin A shortage.
