a. Don't hang them in a hot, dark
closet in summer without airing and
brushing them occasionally.
5. If wool fabrics become wet pro-
tect them against strain. Dry in
moderate temperature; lay them
fiat in shape; or put garments on
hangers.
6. Street dust is harmful to fab
RIGS. Brush carefully to safeguard
the fabric and freshen the nap.
Trouser cuffs need special attention.
7. Clothes made of reused or re-
processed wool should be given extra
care to protect against friction wear,
scuffing and "shine" All clothing
now bears a label giving the per
cent of new and reused wool or sub
stitutes.
g. Coats, suits or dresses whose
instability is doubtful or difficult
to handle had best be sent to a re-
liable dry cleaner.
8. If washable protect against
shrinking and strain; don't use a
hot iron when pressing any wool
fabric or garment.

Council.
Since civilian use of wool has been
cut 500 it is time to make use of all
old wool garments.
Many outgrown garments can be
made over by using special patterns.
A smaller garment can be reknit
from a larger one. Unravel all old
sweaters so that the yarn may be
used again. Any left over scraps
may be sold to rag men who turn
these scraps over to wool manufac-
turers to be reworked.
The Better Business Bureau lists
some points to be observed in the
care of wool fabrics and clothing.
1. "Airing" is good for wool fab
RIGS such as blankets.
2. Keep wool garments on hangers,
and if they are hung away for a
period, protect them against dust
by appropriate covers.
3. Don't hang wool garments near

Work for Summer Easily Sc
cured by Those with Ex-
tended Vacations
Demand for Workers in Wal
Industries Creates General
Labor Shortage

Summer employment = once the
bugaboo of students, teachers and
others with extended vacation per-
iods-is no longer problem.
There are jobs to be had and
plenty of them. With defense in.
dustries and area farmers all ex-
periencing labor shortages summer
jobs may be obtained for the asking
Even as recently as last summer
it was difficult to obtain employ
ment due to the fact that war pro-
duction was not yet in full swing.
Prior to last sumer it was virtual
ly impossible for the student on va
cation to secure any kind of position
for summer unless he had proper
connections with the employer
Now the employment picture is en-
tirely changed. inexperienced work
ers are receiving higher wages in
some cases than the most highly
skilled men were getting several
years ago.
Not only has Bluffton profted
from war business but the town is
strategically located between two
cities, both of which have a consid.
cradle volume of war production
Many Bluffton residents are working
in the Lima and Findlay war manu-,
featuring plants.

NuptidIs Wednesday

Miss Dorothy Burkholder, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Burk-
holder of near Columbus Grove, be-
came the bride of Wayne Holt, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond Holt of
Lima at the parsonage of the Grace
Mennonite church in Pandora last
Wednesday night at 6 o'clock.
The brides pastor, the Rev. For
rest Musser, officiated at the service
The couple was attended by Miss
Helen Ketner of Columbus Grove, a
close friend of the bride and Mr.
Byron E. Watkins of Puerto Rico
cousin of the groom.
The bride was attractively dressed
in a royal blue crepe gown, trimmed
in embroidered lace. Her only orna-
ment was single strand of pearls,
a gift of the groom. Her shoulder
corsage was of white orchid and her
accessories were white.
| The brides attendant was dressed
in a pink crepe frock similar to that
of the bride, her only ornament be-
ing a single strand of pearls, a gift
of the bride. Her corsage was OF
white carnations and delphinium.
After the ceremony a reception
was at the home of the bride for
members of the immediate families
The bride was formerly at the
Triplett Electrical Instrument Co
The couple will make their home al
San Antonio, Texas, where the
groom is stationed in the military
service.

step being to determine the essen
tial characteristics of a helmet. The
problem of obtaining a satisfactory
suspension was attacked concurrent
ly with the development of the he'll
met rather than as an afterthought
as was previously the case. The
World War helmet was taken as the
most suitable for protecting the top
of the head. BY trimming off the
brim and welding to the remaining
dome-shaped piece a visor and skirt
like extensions to protect the sides
and rear of the skull, a pot-type
helmet was obtained, which was then
fitted over what may be considered
a modified football helmet. This he'll
met was then adjusted to give great
er vertical vision and to allow more
room on the side for indentations
caused by missiles.
It was discovered that the foot
ball-helmet type of suspension was
superior to all other methods of
holding the helmet on the head. Ac-
cordingly, fiber liner fitting snugly
to the inside of the helmet, was con-
structed, using the football-helmet
type of suspension. When covered
with Olive-drab cloth, this liner pre-
sented surprisingly neat appear
ance-not unlike tropical helmet.
The reaction to the TS-3 helmet,
! the official name of the new head
piece, was entirely favorable. BY
bringing the sides of both the he'll
met and liner well down over the
head, not only was greater protec-
tion for the skull assured, but, the
center of gravity of the combina-
tion helmet and liner was brought
closer to the center of gravity of
the head thereby allowing helmet
and head to move as a unit. This
eliminated much of the rocking that
was such an unpleasant feature of
the First World War helmet. Ad-
ditional tests showed that the TS-3
helmet did not interfere with rifle
firing from any position; did not OBJ
cure the field of vision too greatly;
and was more comfortable to wear
Service tests on the production
model of the new helmet confirmed
earlier opinions as to the excellence
of the TS-3 design; it was all that
could be expected-and more. AS
for the ballistic qualities, the con
clusion contained in the report sub
mitted by Aberdeen Proving Ground
is as follows: "The experimental
helmet, TS-3, is REALISTICALLY super
ior to the requirements for a mill
tary helmet"
Production of the helmet is now
mounting rapidly--soon it will be a
familiar sight around Army camps
and before long every American
soldier will be equipped with the
finest helmet that science and en-
gineering skill can produce.

Need To Be Magician
During 1912 Harvest

Ohio farmers will need the dex-
terity of a magician to manage their
harvest so the grain can be stored
safely afterward. Straw growth is
heavy, the season is ideal for weeds,
labor is scarce, crowded elevators
viii hamper grain drying operations,
and grain weevils are waiting in
thousands of granaries for wet
wheat.
r. D. Barden, agricultural engin-
eering specialist, Ohio State Uni
versity says it is foregone con-
clusion that combines will be used
to the limit this harvest to replace
methods requiring more men in the
fields. This harvest method is COM
mendable when the combine is oper-
ated efficiently and when the cutting
is done at times when the grain is
in proper condition.
Every combine operator should
carefully inspect his equipment for
needed repairs and adjustments. The
machines are built to operate at diff
ferent speeds for different crops, and
many Ohio combines have not been
adjusted since they were used in soy
bean harvest. The manufacturers
directions should be followed for adj
justments and for speeds of opera
ton.
Manufacturers cannot tell farm
ers when to cut grain, but tests
made over a perod of years show
that it is dangerous to store wheat
that contains over 15 per cent mois-
ture. Grain with more than Is per
cent moisture may heat and it is
attractive bait for weevils, which
viii not work in really dry wheat.
Mr.. Barden declares that little
wheat is lost by shattering while the
grain is standing, so it is much
safer to permit wheat to get over
ripe than to cut it too early. Fields
of either wheat or oats which are
likely to become very weedy may re-
quire combining earlier than other
wise because weeds run through a
combine raise the moisture content
of the grain with which they come
in contact.
Oats may shatter quite badly so
Mr.. Barden recommends that ripe
oats be cut even though the combine
has to be pulled out of the wheat
| fields before the harvest of that
grain is completed. The wheat har-
vest can be finished after the oats
are cut.
Most Ohio farmers who harvest
wet grain in 1912 will have to dry
it at home because elevator space is
going to be limited. Grain can be
dried by shoveling it over and over
in a place where there is room to
spread the grain out. 1t is possible
that many neighborhoods can pool
grain that needs drying and in that
way conserve time and labor.

Bluffton Residents Fixing Up Back
Yards For Vacation Time Enjoyment

| During the past several weeks
many a Bluffton resident could be
seen clearing up rubbish, re-seeding
| bare spots in the back lawn and in
general beautifying the back yard
for vacation leisure time pursuits.
Several residents have erected at
tractive picket fences. Others have
either renovated or are construct
ing outdoor ovens and rustic tables
to be used for outdoor eating and
picnic meals.
Merchants here report that sales
of gadgets for the backyard have
jumped considerably. Croquet and
horseshoe pitching sets are being in
such quantities as to almost create
vogue.
Dart games, archery equipment,
badminton and tennis sets are also
in demand, according to reports
Boys in the town are setting up
hoops for practicing basketball.
Gardening is also increasingly
popular this summer and with ex-
cellent growing conditions many peo-
pie here are already getting con-
siderable portion of their table pro-
duce from their backyard gardens
All in all, one effect of the nation
al emergency has been the convinc.
ing of many that there is consider
able opportunity and pleasure, if not
gold, to be had right in ones owr

Ohio homemakers have ingenuity
enough to supply their families with
the customary delicious pastries even
though the rationing of sugar ruins
some favorite recipes, in the opinion
of Geneva Humphreys, Meigs county
home agent, who points out practical
substitutes to replace sugar in bak-
ing.
Miss Humphreys says molasses
and corn syrup not only have excel
lent values for sweetening but also
are rich in calcium and iron. Honey
imparts unique fiavors to foods, and
maple syrup is favorite with many
housewives. Honey about equals su-
gar in sweetening value, maple syrup
is sweeter, and molasses and corn
syrup are less sweet.
The syrups can be substituted for
all the sugar in making quick and
yeast breads, puddings, and cookies |;
and lighter cakes will result if the
substitutes replace only half the su-
gar called for by the recipe. The
amount of water required in the
original recipe should be reduced by
quarter cup for each half or three
fourths cup of any of the four sub
stitutes used in baking.
One precaution mentioned by Miss
Humphreys in using honey or mo-
lasses in baking is to add one-fourth
teaspoonful of soda for each cup of
the sweetening. The soda neutral
ICES acid in the molasses and honey.
Too much soda will reduce the
amount of vitamin B in the -four
Honey and corn syrup also are
useful in canning or making fruit
sauce. An all honey syrup can be
made by using one cup of honey to
two cups of water, or a combination
syrup of honey and sugar can be
prepared by one-half cup of honey,
one-half cup of sugar and two and
one-fourth cups of water.
In making syrups with honey, the
sweetening should be added to water
which is at the boiling point, the
mixture stirred, brought to a rolling
boil, and SKINNED. Honey causes
foaming so the container should be
large.

Colonel Rene Studler Author OF
Article On New Helmet For Army

1910, that the United States was to
have an army second to none in the
matter of equipment, the problem
of new type of helmet was pre-
sented. In the light of events in
Europe, it was apparent that a
washbasin-type helmet, originally de-
signed to protect soldiers in trenches
from fragments of shells bursting
overhead, would not be adequate in
a war of movement where missiles
could come from all directions,
even from below, as in the case of
parachute troops.
The problem of developing salts

Limitation of automobile trans
portation because of tire restrictions
and possible gasoline rationing has
caused numerous residents here to
turn to their own backyards for not
only recreational activities but also
the likelihood of spending their en-
tire vacation period there.
Wartime difficulties of transpor-
tation have brought back the homely
virtues of that portion of mans es-
tate which too often was but fence
to hide a rubbish heap or an un-
slightly patch of weeds.
