The war camp community service started the movement, but the various bureaus have started additional wagons especially for the benefit of their women workers, enabling them to save some of their regular lunch hour for recreation.

FEDERAL AND STATE GAME LAWS Shooting Must Be Confined toTime During Which It Is Not Prohibited by Either Set of Regulations In making their plans to shoot migratory waterfowl, hunters will do well to note the dates of open seasons under both federal and state laws, according to the United States department of agriculture. There is confusion in the minds of some sportsmen in regard to the opening of the season when the dates conflict under state and federal laws. The federal law and regulations limit the seasons before and after which no one may shoot these birds. If a state law opens the season later or closes It earlier than the dates prescribed by the federal regulations, the season in that state Is just so much further shortened. Special attention is called to the fact that the federal regulations do not authorize anyone to hunt or kill migratory birds contrary to the state law. In certain states as for example, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken-; iucky, Missouri and South Dakota, the season for shooting migratory waterfowl under the state law would open prior to the date of opening under the federal regulations were it not for the fact that the federal regulations supersede state laws in such case of conflict and prescribe for these states September 16 as the beginning of the open season. Bread Now Made From Wood Claimed to Be Healthful, WellTasting, Digestible Food The search for new materials to feed the starving stomach of Sweden has, according to Dr. John W. Beckman, a member of the California section of the American Chemical society, again demonstrated that necessity is the mother of invention. Sweden, located as it is in the precarious position between the two fighting groups of nations, has found it hard to obtain its necessities from either of the fighting nations. In times of peace, Sweden has always depended upon imported wheat and other foodstuffs from the East, as well as from the West. "With those imports in many cases completely stopped, Sweden has sought inside of its own domain for new materials. Being a country which is well wooded, It is natural that Swedish chemists should turn to the forests in search of a substitute. This search has proven sucrnssful nnrl a Swedish chemist has devised a method by which wood can f be produced in such a condition that it can be used in bread making. In fact, bread baked out of two-thirds wheat or other flour and one-third spruce flour is a healthful, well-tasting and digestible food. Extensive experiments have been carried out to learn the digestibility of this spruce flour, or cellulose flour, and all of them have proven that fully one-third of the cellulose flour Is absorbed by the human being. The manufacture of this product is now under way in Sweden in sufiicient quantities to supply the needs of Stockholm. It is being sold at the price of about 40 cents- per pound, but tho volume of this flour is about three times that of wheat. Dogs in Holland Have to Work for Food They Eat In Holland the lot of some dogs is not at all a happy one. Many of them have to work very4hard indeed to keep themselves alive. In many Instances the food they eat Is not the same as the American dog has. Some Dutch dogs will eat carrots and turnips In fact, almost anything tbU is put before them. They have to draw the vegetables, milk and other tradesmen's carts in order that mynheer may walk alongside at his ease.

The word lias been wiuely used to describe the productions of the "home builder and the real estate operator," buildings so apalling that we are apt to forget that the bungalow is properly a very unusual and in terestincr tvne of structure and one peculiarly illustrative of the close re lation between climate and archltec ture, writes Austin D. Jenkins, in the House Beautiful. "Bungalow" is the Hindustani word for house, Anglicized to indicate the typical European dwelling in India, us-

ually a one-storied house with veran- cupful of fresh masted peanuts on a da and projecting roof. The chief pur- molding board with the rolling pin impose of the Indian dwelling is to keep til like coarse crumbs, stir into the

out the heat and the tropical rains. The typical native bungalow and its English derivative are in arrangement much alike. The walls are of heavy masonry. Both doors and windows are very large, and open on to verandas which keep out the direct rays of the sun and protect the inner rooms from the glare of tropical nnti-aay. 'ne rooms are arranged in suites, and every possible cross draft is made the most of. Sometimes the root is ot tue, but more frequently of maize thatch, woven on a bamboo frame, ana or great thickness. The eves project far beyond the wall line. ftCrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrt Words of Wise Men.

Ornamental Lamp-Posts Add to Attractiveness vMt of the uP'to?Pate City There is no feature.'of municipal' equipment that adds more to the attractiveness of a citys appearance than do ornamental street lamp-posts of artistic and appropriate design. Just as the effectiveness or interior decorations and furnishings depend in a large measure upon lighting fixtures, so the beauty of the street can be enhanced or marred b Its lights. . In each case a satisfactory solution of the lighting problem consists not only in supplying sufficient illumination but also in providing lighting equipment that harmonizes with its surroundings and possesses a beauty of its own. The oldtime lamp-post in vogue before the days of electricity, writes Thomas J. Davis, in the House Beautiful, fulfilled the second of these conditions, but not the first; for, although the post itself was often a work of art, Its feeble oil or gas flame seldom was equal to the task of Illuminating the street. On the other hand, the modern overhead arc lamp gives a fairly satisfactory light, but the unsightly poles, ropes, wires and other equipment can scarcely be called beautiful., Now comes the ornamental street lamp-post, which combines the beauty of one of its pre

decessors and the utility of the other. Seaweed Discovered by Japanese as Substitute for Cotton Also a Food Something has been heard lately of the value of seaweed for food. It can also be used, we now learn, says a wrtter in the Manchester Guardian, as a substitute for cotton. An account of this new textile was given recently by K. Hamada, vice president of the Japa nese house of representatives, at a meeting of the Japanese Federation of Marine Industrial associations. The raw material may be obtained from two kinds of seaweed, called in Japanese segumo and gomoguma. These are boiled together in water with wood ashes, and then In water mixed with rice bran. After bleaching, fibers are extracted which can be utilized for manufacturing purposes. The announcement of tills discovery has awakened no little interest on the Pacific coast of America, where the supply of seaweed is almost inexhaust ible. It is along that coast, too, that some of the investigations were car ried out a few years ago by Japanese scientists, whose explanation that their visit had as its object the study of seaweed was received with considerable skepticism. ftft ft ft-ft-ft-ft !

FARMS OF OLD STUMPS Where Tough Obstacles Are Re moved Land Is Available for Crop Cultivation. THERE IS NO "BEST METHOD" Pine and Fir Are Very Resistant to Decay and Roots WIN Remain Sound for Lifetime Best to - Clear Field Gradually. (.Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Stumps occupy valuahle land ; foster the growth of weeds, since In order to keep the land In their vicinity clean much hard labor is necessary ; mar the appearance of otherwise smooth fields, and hence reduce the selling price of a farm; furnish shelter for harmful Insects and animals; and prevent the eflicient use of modern machinery. Stumps may be removed by burning, by explosives, by mechanical means, or by a combination of any or all these three methods. There is no "best method" of ridding land of stumps, and the selection of a method for their removal should be determined only af ter a consideration of factors involved. Hardwoods Easier to Remove. Most hardwoods decay so that they can easily be removed within ten years from the time of logging, provided the stumps are kept from sprouting. Most pine and fir stumps, on the other hand, are very resistant to decay. Their main roots will remain sound a lifetime. The small roots of any stump will decay in a few years and j with them out of the way the cost ot I stumping is reduced.

SOIL BACTERIA FOR LEGUMES IS NEEDED

Provide Essential Organisms by Pure Culture Inoculation. Can Be Accomplished by Spreading Soil From Weil-Established Field Upon New Land Sour Soils Should Be Given Lime. ( Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) For the most successful growth of alfalfa, clover, beans, peas and other leguminous crops the proper kinds of bacteria should be abundant in the soil. When new legumes are grown for the first time in a locality the soil should be inoculated with the proper bacteria by artificial inoculation. In some regions soils are already supplied with the proper soil organisms; 5 V: -SÄ $0 4 I Seed From Which Plant on Left Sprang Up Was Inoculated No Treatment Was Given Puny Plant on Right. for example, in many Southern localities artificial inoculation for cowpeas is unnecessary and in sections of the middle West bacteria which thrive on the roots of clover and alfalfa are already present. Artificial inoculation can be accomplished by spreading soil from a wellestablished field, where the particular legume which is to be grown has been successful, upon the new land to be planted with that legume, and also by the use of pure cultures of the proper bacteria. The United States department of agriculture is prepared to supply enough of the pure culture to inoculate one bushel of seed, and this culture can be obtained in bottles which contain complete directions for use. Application blanks for these cultures may be obtained from the department at Washington, D. C. Pure culture can also be obtained, either free or it small cost, from the various experiment stations. Too much attention cannot be given to the preparation of the field for leguminous crops. In a well-prepared seedbed the young plants get the best start and the necessary bacteria will thrive. Sour soils hinder and often entirely prevent the development of the beneficial soil organisms. To remedy this condition an application of lime is necfssary. Any kind of lime may be used to advantage, but usually finely ground limestone is applied. When a field is known to contain the bacteria suitable for a certain legume cr0p for example, alfalfa shown oy the presence of numerous nodules upon the roots of alfalfa plants growing there, the soil is desirable for the inoculation of other 'fields upon which alfalfa is to be sown for the first time. Such soil, well sifted, can readily he applied to the new field through the fertilizer attachment on a drill.

In converting skim milk into pork there is a loss of material, as all the nutrients In the skim milk are not recovered in the pork. Some are converted into bone and muscle, some into heat to keep the body temperature, and some into i energy for maintaining the functions of the body.
