The train stopped at the near

The playpen was an ordinary

Around the legs of the table,

Even at the distance from

This frequent but often unnec-

patient nursing, usually by some
member of the family. Even
when the patient is taken to the

The American hawk owl (Surnia
u1ula caparoch) is little known since
1t inhabits the vast forests of Can
ada and Alaska. More conspicuous
in appearance than other forest
owls, it's slender body is about 16
inches long and heavily feathered
as protection against the cold. 1t
is able to hunt both day and night,
useful ability in the long days and
nights of the far north. It's food is
chiefly mice and jennings, but it
eats insects in summer and some
times kills birds the size of the
ptarmigan. Protective of its nest,
its sharp, dangerous claws are used
fiercely against intruders. This owl
is easy to hunt, for its unusual
fearlessness brings it into the open
and it has an misunderstanding
habit of sharply jerking its tail. Dur
ing the winter many of them come
across the border into northern Unit
ed States.

Canada Land Rich in
Resources and Industry

Canada is a bountiful bread-and-
fruit basket; figures its field crops,
farm animals, milk, poultry and
eggs, and vegetables in millions of
dollars; normally ships wheat, meat
and cheese to foreign customers.
Fishing is a major industry. t.
Value of manufactured products
newsprint paper, lumber, chemicals,
textiles, iron and steel goods, ami
NAL and vegetable products-runs
into billions of dollars.
Native fur-bearing animals are
the source of stable income. Foxes,
minks, beavers, muskrats, racoons,
martens, and fishers are raised on
farms.
Bigger than the United States lex
Guiding Alaska), Canada runs the full
topographic scale. From the coast
al plains in the east, the rocky
areas of Quebec Province, the bar
rens north of Lake Superior, the
prairies and western foothills, to the
towering Pacific highlands, Canada
unrolls in a majestic ocean-to-ocean
sweep.

Experiment With Peanut
Hulls to Replace. Cork
Signal Corps Photo

Tons of waste" hulls which &C.
cumulate at factories where peanuts
are shelled for market may soon be
scooped up and made into substi-
tute for cork. Ground into a fine
meal and milled with a liquid, pea
nut hull "cork" may supplement
supplies of natural cork now used
in bottle caps, refrigerator Innings,
wallboards, inner soles, and many
other cork needs.
Numerous attempts to grow the
cork oak tree in America have
been made. Experimental plantings
have been carried on in California
since the 1865 and although strip
pings from these experimental
groves have produced few tons of
disable cork, the Mediterranean area
still holds first place as the worlds
producer of the bark.
Peanuts, on the other hand, thrive
in the United States, from Florida to
California and as far north as WASH
ington, D. c. Yield tops two bill
lion pounds year. The slow-grow-
ing cork oak takes 20 years to pro-
duce its first disable bark.
Peanut shells have been used to
some extent as fodder and fuel.
Some countries extract substance
from them which is used in certain
types of fire-fighting foams. One of
the latest uses of the COOLERS
"coat" in addition to its contribu-
ton to the cork" needs, is In the
cleaning of greasy machinery.
Ground almost powder-fine, the pea
nut cleaner" is shot through an
ordinary sandblast gun to absorb
carbon and grease which accumu-
lates in valves, bearings, and other
machine parts.

REESTABLISHMEN OF LIGHTS
ON WATERWAYS

Congressman David j. Ward an
nounces that the program for the re-
establishment of lights in the var
ious waterways of the Eastern Shore
of Mryland, which had been extin-
guished due to blackout regulations,
has been completed in most of the
sectors of the Chesapeake Bay and
it's tributaries. According to infor-
nation ereceived from Commodor
C. T. Finlay, District Coast Guard
Officer, Norfolk, Va, all lights have
been restored in the Choptank Riv-
er and many of the lights have been
established in the various waterways
adjacent to Tangier Sound.
The program for the re-establish-
ment of all minor fixed lights is be-
ing pushed and is progressing rapid
ly, Mr.. Ward was further advised.

SUMMER FEATHERS FOR
WINTER QUILTS

Warm lightweight comforters and
winter quilts for next winter may be
made at home by saving the small
chicken and turkey feathers. With
larger feathers, the fluffy fibers can
be stripped" from the hard quilts.
This feather material does not COM
pete with the types of feathers need
ed for military uses, or with supplies
of wool for blankets. Down and small
soft, fluffy goose and duck feathers
jackets and trousers and in sleeping
bags for the armed forces, The COM
mercial supply of waterfowl feathers
is all reserved for the military SER
vices. Homemade feather comforters
are likely to be more satisfactory
than old-fashioned feather beds
All kinds of feathers less than IN
inches long, can be cleaned, dried and
used for comforters, including feath-
ers from wild game birds. Large
feathers are hand stripped" by pull
ing off the soft strands from each
side of the hard center quill. These
strips are not as fluffy as down or
per cent small feathers, and they
break down more easily, but if mixed
half and half, with soft chicken
feathers, or even up to 60 per cent
stripped feathers to 40 per cent
small feathers, they make satisfac-
tory quilts.

Growing Gullies

Thousands of acres of land are
growing gullies which should be
growing trees. Because of steep
slopes, poor soil, and other adverse
conditions, much of this. land can
best be used for growing trees.
Many farmers have demonstrated
conclusively that erosion may be
controlled, gullies stopped, and the
land put into production on small
areas by using materials found on
the average farm-plus trees.
In planning to stop the gullies and
plant the trees, it is suggested the
farmer first consult his county
agent. Gullies draining more than
10 acres require planning by an
experienced agricultural engineer.
Final control must in all cases be
accomplished by vegetation.
Young trees, usually pine or black
locust, planted after the erosion con-
troll measures have been taken, will
become established and provide pro-
lection from further erosion.

South American Liberty
Fostered in Colombia

Colombia's first bid for freedom
was manifested in 1881, when the
comuneros, or common people" OF
Santa Fee de Bacata, as the courl-
try was then called, revolted against
excessive taxation and the abuses
of their Spanish overlords. The up
rising was soon quelled, but for the
first time the peace-loving Colom-
bian people were conscious of their
strength as nation.
Despite this reverse, the revo-
lutionary movement against Span
ish domination spread throughout
the country. as series of isolated
campaigns, waged by patriots sepa-
rated by the rough terrain and lack
of roads. On July 20, 1910, the revolu-
tionary junta of Bogota proclaimed
itself the government of Nueva Ora
NADIA, embracing present-day Co
lombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and
Panama. And at Boayaca, on Au-
gust 7, 1919, Simon Bolivar dealt the
Spaniards another devastating blow
which resulted in his entering Bo-
gotta three days later.
A few months later, on December
II, 1919, the independence of the
Republic of Gran Colombia was pro-
claimed. Two years later con-
gress met on January l, 1928, to
determine whether the three depart
ments of Cundinamarca, Venezuela
and Quito should form a highly CEN
tralized nation or a loosely bound
federation Of states. A year later
the infant nation was recognized by
the United States.
In 1929 the Department Of Vene-
zuela broke away from the union of
Gran Colombia and declared itself
an Independent republic. A year lat
er, the Department of Quito followed
suit, as the Republic of Ecuador.
Neither of these separations was
strenuously opposed by the govern
ment in Bogota.

Emphasize Good Features
To Look at Your Best

Some women never get the idea
that makeup is not camouflage and
that ones face is made more at
tractive by accentuating the good
features. Since the eyes are the most
expressive and interesting part Of
the face, special attention should be
given to making them as pleasing
as possible, it's said. A thin, verti-
cal line at the outer edge of the lid
adds glamour. Mascara on the
lashes, especially for evening, lends
depth to the windows of the SOUL"
Eye shadow should be used on the
upper lid only, and lightly applied
for street wear. Color of shadow
should be of the same hue as the
irises. Tones Of mascara should
harmonic with the complexion.
Rouge should be applied on the high
spot Of the cheek bone, fading out
towards the ears and the mouth.
Women wearing spectacles often
can use effectively these visual aids
in improving makeup, it is said.
By careful selection of lens shapes,
good features of ones face can be
emphasized and unsymmetrical
parts can be subdued. By thought
full fitting, long noses may appear
shorter, moon faces made to ap-
pear less rotund, or sharp features
may be mellowed. There's whole
bag of makeup tricks in the art of
fitting faces with spectacles nova

TO CAN AND NOT TO CAN

Canning is not the only method
of preserving vegetables for future
use and for some products it is not
the most desirable method. The U. S.
Department of Agriculture is empha-
sizing raising vegetables with high
food values in Victory gardens, and
conserving them in various ways. But
it suggests that in addition to can
ming, many vegetables may be stored !;
others frozen, dried, brined, or
picked.
The Department does not recon-
mend home canning of cauliflower,
celery, cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce,
onions, parsnips, turnips or cabbage
Except as saurkraut). The flavor and
texture of some of these vegetables
when canned at home is poor. Cauli-
flower, celery, eggplant and lettuce
are best enjoyed fresh. Cucumbers
can be used fresh or picked. Cabbage
and parsnips and turnips can be stor-
ed in root cellars or pits, onions in a
dry, moderately cool storage place
such as well ventilated attic.
Baked beans and other dried le-
gumes are extremely difficult to pro-
cess at home and the Department
advises against canning them. Dried
beans, peas of various kinds, and
dried soybeans store well, and can
be prepared for the table as wanted.
Vegetable mixtures are sometimes
canned commercially, but they are
not suitable for home canning. 1t
takes special directions for each COM
ditions it is simpler, safer, and more
satisfactory to can each vegetable
separately for such mixtures, and
combine them later.

your Company's properties. The award
indicates a fine spirit of cooperation
of management and employees beyond
the call of duty"
Mr.. Haneke in accepting the award
said, II want to pay special tribute to
the intelligence, alertness, industry
and loyalty to duty of our employees
through whose unstinted efforts this
award has been made possible. They
have had before them the continuance
without interruption of telephone
service so that the ends of our mill
tary and industrial life, during this
period of great emergency, might
function at high speed"
Governor Herbert R. O'Conor in
congratulating the telephone employ
ees said "That the effective work per-
formed by your organization has been
recognized and appreciated fully by
your government is proven by the
National Security Award which is be-
ing presented to you today. When the
final story is written such an organi-
cation as yours will be credited with
great share of the results obtained"
"The Maryland Company, it's men
and women working as a well coordi-
mated team, has had upon it's shoulders
the responsibilities of safeguarding
she telephone speech-ways of this
State. The job that has been done is
real evidence of their loyal devotion
to duty" said Lloyd B. Wilson, Presi-
dent of the Telephone Company.
Mayor Theodore R. McKeldin of
Baltimore in praising the employees
and the Company for achieving the
Award said, "The presentation empha-
sizes the fact that this war is not only
won on the battle front but also on
the home front. For it is in this last
phase that the good work of your
Company and it's employees is dis
played"
In addition to Governor O'Conor,
Mayor McKeldin, numerous high rank
ing officers of the Third Service Com
mand of the United States Army and
the Fifth Naval District and many
leading citizens connected with the
industrial and civil life of the State,
executives and employees of the

"FLOWERs THAT FIGHT"

Writing on "Flowers That Figh
Malaria" in the April issue of Agri-
culture in the Americas, Raymond e.
Culbertson of the staff of the Office of
Foreign Agricultural Relations re-
ports excellent prospects for increas-
ed production of pyrethrum in Peru,
where experimental cropping has
been under way for more than 10
years, and also in Ecuador where
soils and climate are similar. The
quality of pyrethrum produced in Pc
ru compares favorably with that for
merly obtained from Japan or from
Kenya in East Africa. Discovery of
the insect-killing pyrethrum bomb
by entomologist of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture is expected to
increase permanently the U. S. de-
mand for pyrethrum. Of this new
insect exterminator Culbertson says:
1.-THE insect killing pyrethrum
bomb is relatively new and certainly
timely in it's appearance. Now car
ried by our troops as regular equip
ment in malaria infested area this
bomb is light in weight and contains
a solvent under pressure of 80 lbs.
per square inch at room temperature.
The insecticide is released from the
bomb as fog through a valve. A g.
second application is sufficient to give
permanent paralysis to all insects in
an ordinary sized room, and there
is enough fog in an 1S-ounce bomb
for about 200 such applications.
"The stuff is non-inflammable, non
poisonous, leaves no oily residue, and
is harmless to man and beast. 1t is
particularly effective for fumigating
airplanes and tents. When war de-
mands lessen, so that adequate sup
plies can be made available for civil
ian use, this product is certain to
contribute much toward greater COM
fort and better health for both in
door and outdoor living"
