SNAPS BIRDS FOR MOVIES
Norman Mc(,'lintock of Pittsburgh,
well-known naturalist and ornitholo
gist, 1h shown here with his movie cam
era all set to photograph birds at close
range. He pitches his tent near the
nest and stays there for hours Inside
It In all sorts of weather. To keep the
click of the camera shutter from scar
ing hl< subjects, he installs a tick
tocklng metronome in the tent. The
metronome, used wherever young hope
fuls bang the piano, ticks so constantly
that the birds soon pay no attention to
It, and Ms noise drowns the click of
the camera.
WOMEN WITHOUT A NATION;
British Take Not? of Peculiar Mar
riage Entanglementa Growing
Out of War.
London.?"For Women Without a
Nation" Is the title of a committee Just j
organized by the American Woman's
club under the direction of Lady Low
ther.
The club, In connection with its war
work, has found that there are a large
number of women in London who can
not claim the rights and protection of
any state; they are citizens of no
country.'
An Instance given by the club secre
tary Is that of an Englishwoman who
married a J^olglan and went with him
to the United States, where he lived
long enough to lose his nationality.
Neither took out naturalization papers,
and they returned to Europe so that
the husband could enter the Belgian
army, In which he Is now fighting.
"We have record of more than a hun
dred such cases," said the secretary.
The club has a committee to help
stranded Americans, to educate Ameri
can children, to maintain work shops
where hospitals are supplied to the
allies, and to manage a knitting fac
tory for the aged.
"DON'T CAN YOUR BEANS"
State of Ohio Is Requesting Oannera
to Use Tin for Other Veg
etables.
Columbus. O.?Requests are being
made to Ohio canning establishments
not to put up hominy nnd beans this
year but to use the limited quantity of
tin available for other foods where
cans are a necessity. Last year's pack
of beajjs and hominy In Ohio amount*
ed to 14^)00,000 pounds.
Beans and hominy can be handled
without canning. Tomatoes and oth
er vegetables must be canned. Can
ners will co-operate with state plans,
their officials said.
They asked the state to aid them In
getting enough acreage to put out to
keep their plants going In the canning
season. The acreage of canning crops
threatens to be reduced this year un
less special work In helping It Is done
at once.

New Methods of Obtaining Ni
trate* Most Important.
Getting Supply From Air Not Only Big
Factor In Nation's Dsfenae But
In Enlarging Crop*. ;
??
The National Oeograph|c society
discussing (he question of the nitrate
1 supply of the world points out that
us a result of the scientific experi
ment* that lmve heen going on for the
pust two or three years, processes for
Hecurlnx nitrogen from the ulr, as well
iin others for securing It from our
coal deposits, promise to give us an
absolute Independence of any other
nation In the world for nitrate supplied
In the future. The bulletin say*:
The much-discussed Issue of a future
nltrogCn supply seems to have -been
solved by scientists here and abroad
Mince the outbreak of the war lu Eu
rope. Heretofore the world has had to
depend mainly upon the nitrate beds of
Chile for the nitrogen. Many processes
for extracting nitrogen from the air
where It 1m to he found In superabund
ant quantities, since It constitutes
about three-fourths of all of our at
mosphere, have been developed, but
most of them have proved so expensive
as to be prohibitive except In times of
emergency. Recently, however, there
has been discovered and put in use
a new process that Is said to reduce
the horsepower required to extract a
given amount of nitrogen to one
twelfth of the former proportion. The
result of this will probably be that in
the years to come tho world will find
a cheaper source of nitrogen right' at
hand In the air than has ever been
found In the nitrate beds of Chile.
It has also been found that through
the cooking process big supplies of ni
trogen can be extracted from coal. En
gineers now estimate that if we were
to coke twice as much coal ns we have
In the past, which would still be less
than 5 per cent of our total coal out
put, the nitrogen thnt we could secure
therefrom would be more than enough
to meet all of our needs as a nation,
either in peace or In war. In the cok
ing of coal a substance is recovered
which Is called by the chemist "ben
zol." The expenses of recovery arc
not excessively great, and just at the
time when our government was an
nouncing that there was no real ni
trate deposit anywhere in sight in tho
United States of really Important
value, the descriptions of the Haber
process of extraction from the air and
of the processes for recovery from coal
have been most timely.
Not only will the new processes of
extracting a bountiful supply of nitro
gen from the air and from coal be an
advantage to us In the matter of de
fending our country, and In putting
it upon an independent basis from a
world standpoint, but It will be an im
mense advantage to us In our agricul
ture. The most expensive element
that we have to put Into the soli to
farm profitably is nitrogen. We ordi
narily buy it In the shape of nitrate,
green bone, or decomposed anlninl mat
ter, and the farmer's fertilizer bill Is
always heavy If he wants to produce
large crops. A cheap source of nitro
gen, such ns we might expect from a
system of cheap filtration from the air,
will enable the American farmer, large
as his crops may have been In the past,
to produce two bushels of grain where
formerly he produced one, and to help
feed a rapidly expanding world popu
lation.
Great Secret Lost.
At Delhi, in India, stands an an
cient iron monument which, though ex
posed to nil weathers, never ru<rs or
decays. Yet It has no protective cov
i eeJng. Flere Is a secret which would
j be simply Invalunble to the world,
t which had been discovered by some
! Indian artificer of old and most unfor
? tunately lost. At a meeting of steel
j and Iron men In London, the chairman
I said that they could face the future
with complacency if they could redis
cover the secret. To shipowners alone
It would mean a yearly saving of mil
lions. Itust Is the great enemy of the

White Bread.
The experiment lias boen tried. A
dog cannot live longer than 13 days
on a diet of white bread. Neither can
a man. A dog or a man can live in
; definitely and fairly well on a diet of
whole wheat bread alone. It is not
tho best possible diet for continuous
service; but it is better than a coi*1
i tlnuous diet of white bread. All you
I folks who gorge yourselves on white
bread and Imagine you are feeding
yourselves are, as a matter of fact*
starving yourselves. More persons who
eat much die of starvation than per
sons who get nothing to eat at all.
