We suggest that the superintendoiu of each school call his teachers to meet with the pastor of his church and divide up the territory and see that everybody is reached with an invitation for that day. It would be a goui idea to meet for a conference, so that the workers may join their forces. Adopt a slogan, set a goal and try to reach this on that day.

EDISON INVENTION IN USE Smoke Bombs and Smoke Screens A pa Prnvinn ffage Employed to Surprising Extent Washington. ? An encouraging account of the success of the devices being used by American ships as a means of escaping or destroying German submarines is given by Admiral Benson, chief of operations of the navy Several of the methods under trial at present, one of them the invention of Thomas A. Edison, the admiral regarded as inadvisable to describe, but he discussed without reserve the devices in general use on merchant ships and naval vessels. ] It was admitted that the naval conVnv furnished the most effective sr?fe guard against the submarine. Admiral Benson thought that the number off convoyed ships sunk was even less than the average up to a month ago, when It was estimated that only one half of 1 per cent fell victim to the submarine. The impossibility of convoying more than a small per cent of the merchant fleet leaving American shores, however, has made necessary !the adoption of other protective measures. ! Devices Employed. : Among those most in use on merchant ships, the admiral said, were "smoke bombs" and smoke screens. Camouflage also is being employed to a surprising extent, but particularly on naval vessels. The smoke bombs are merely containers filled with chemicals which when cast overboard throw off a dense black smoke, obscuring the ship from an attacking submarine. i A great variety of experiments In camouflage have been tried on naval vessels. They have been painted every hue of the rainbow that might tend to merge the ship in its background and make it indistinguishable to investigating periscopes. Benson said many of these devices had .been demonstrated to be of great merit Warships, too, a?e equipped with detectors which indicate the proximity of other ships. More and more of the merchant ships, of course, are being armed so as to be able to give a good account of themselves - in encounters with the U-boatS, and experiments constantly sroinz on in the navy to improve the weapons of .' offense employed against the submarine. A special endeavor is being made to perfect the operation of depth charges so that it may be possible more frequently to "pot" the U-boats as they submerge or as they run along with only their periscopes showing. Balloons are employed on the ships for observation purposes, but their use is not at all new. It was said today, in contradiction of a recent interesting story, tnat no invention had been perfected in the United States navy which would enable an attacked ship to deflect the course of a torpedo once it was fired. This report, according to Admiral Benson, had no foundation whatever. Bigger Submarines. Another report which has been making the rounds is that German submarines recently have been making it a practice of sparing all passenger ships they encounter. The only basis for this belief, it was said, is the fact that fewer passenger ships have been sunk. Tfiey have been attacked, however, but in most cases have escaped. There have been no German subma rines near the American coast since this nation entered the war, so far as the navy department has learned. A submarine has been sighted nearly in mid-Atlantic, but that is the nearest approach one is known to bave made. The navy department has evidence that Germany is increasing the size of her submarines nearly to the proportion of small cruisers. This evidence was obtained by ocular observation, In part, and also from the fact that the submarines now are mounting guns of civ inches in bore. Fragments ucai Aj of shells falling on merchant ships have disclosed the size of the guns.

Every soldier and sailor is a thousand times sn-fei in this terrible war if he is fighting under the protection of the "Wings of the United 'States." No money is ' wanted, no money is asked, not one cent.

It !s >^ard to realize just what these scraps of precious met.nl will do for our coun_ try and our fighting men. England has accomplished wonderful things this way.
