THRIFTY YANKS STEAL MARCH ON GOVERNMENT Find That Fresh Water and Soap Oowfl Armw'e Cnnbon vis m 111 j <9 wuiiivwii Cargo. Fishing shirts, vests, soldiers' jerkins, leggings, comfort bags and oth* er clothing from the ocean's bottom has been the latest kind of work for the fisher folk at Vineyard Haven, Mass. But the government has stepped in and spoiled all the fun and all the profit as well. When the steamship Port Hunter, parrvinsr S6.000.000 worth of clothing to Uncle Sam's soldiers overseas, was wrecked off the Cape it was found that salvaged clothing rotted two days after it had been taken from the salt sea. But the thrifty and ingenious Yankees here found that by washing the clothing in fresh water as soon as it was brought ashore it was a? good as new. So the fishermen forgot their trawls and lines and each day a small fleet i put to sea equipped with grappling j hooks on the ends of long poles. At j night the fleet would sail home laden j " tKn ' witn ail sons ot uuiuiug. vu um, beach, with washtubs filled with fresh j water and soap were the thrifty house* wives. Next morning almost every sort of a piece of clothing found on ? soldier or in his kit was flapping from the clothesline. Everything was going fine with the fisher people until a few days ago when the government at Washington, ^which had previously given up the work of salvage, suddenly came to the realization that washing with fresh water prevented tne eiotmng irora roi-1 ting. The war department promptly i issued an order to the headquarters of I the department of the northeast in j Boston instructing an immediate in- j vestigation of the Port Hunter and the possibility and advisability of making an attempt to salvage the cargo. Mean- j while, the army officers were ordered to stop "petty pilfering" of the ship's j cargo. New Synthetic Milk. A recently .patented synthetic milk, [ that can be made into butter and j cheese, is produced by boiling sepa- j rately, in three quarts of water for ' each, a grated coconut and three ounces of a mixture of rice and oat meal, wnen uie water icuuv.cu w i one-half, the two liquids are mixed to-1 gether and filtered. The process seems | to admit of variation, and other vege-1 table material rich in oil may be sut>-1 stituted for the coconut. i tl . n i lie ^ Of 1 1 rt. . londensed Mateme s \ f Aone on#) Tntmcfi LA/ano aim mvwu Liberty Loan Be Overdrafts, secu Cash on Hand a \ 1 Capital Stock \ Surplus and Fro Bills Payable |\ Deposits - JNO.

In spite of the fact that the British have some steam-driven 2,700-ton submarines, capable of a surface speed Of from 23 to 25 knots, the submarine, as a weapon of war, is too slow and too blind when it is submerged to be considered a serious weapon of naval warfare. When it can see, electrically, to a distance of 10 to 15 miles, while it is submerged so deeply as to be invisible to the airscout, and when it can steam 20 knots submerged, it will dominate the naval situation. ?Scientific American. ommercial I Newberry, S. nt of Condition at c March 4, 1919.

Paris?The French government has lecided to install an airplane service :o feed inhabitants of the redeemed ; Jlstricts of northern France until rail- , tvays destroyed hy the Germans iu , :lieir retreat can he restored. With 200 airplanes at least 200,000 i people of the stricken provinces can i >e fed daily. It is believed this nura- | :>er of planes could carry 100,000 x>unds of flour, 10.000 pounds of sugar, i 10,000 pounds of butter, 30.000 pouuds! )f vegetables and 10,000 pounds of con- ! lensed food. While this will be the most gignn- j :ic scale on which airplanes have be^n j jsed for feeding a country, yet the ; system Is not entirely new. During the war.it was successfully ! jsed by the British in carrying food : .0 their trqops in Mesopotamia, Pal- , jstine and Macedonia. In November, 1917, during the French offensive igainst the Chemin des Dames, it was j ised by the Germans. A detachment I >f their troops, completely encircled, j aas kept supplied with food by air I )lanes that dropped baskets containing j jread, kraut, canned meat and other j supplies. j For the airplanes that will be necessary for the new service for feeding ;he north of France, the French government will first of all make use of ts own bombing machines. After this t expects to be able to utilize not less j han.100 planes turned over by Uer- j nany under the terms of armistice. In j iddition, France hopes that both Eng- j and and the United States will place it her disposal a number of their ? -* ? i i iJi. ; ?. ( jomning macmnes now lyiug une iu France.

J SAVE SHOES!1 In a long chase for a criminal, J. E. Jones, a secret service man of Chicago, I wore one pair of shoes with Neolin Soles for nineteen months. This chase J covering both American continents I and Australia, ended in April, 1917. 1 The shoes were then given a mechanic at Clearing, 111., ana were worn oy g him another seven months. M "Until I discovered shoes with Neolin Soles, I bought new shoes about every two months," said Mr. Jones. Twenty-six months of wear under conditions such as these is indeed extraordinary even for Neolin Soles. But Neolin Soles are made by Science to be especially durable. They are^^^H comfortable and waterproof, too.
