C. NAVY MEN RESCUE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS Secretary Danlels has commended H. E. Allen, chief machinist’s mate, and Harry Koppel and William H. Kane, seamen, United Btales Naval Reserve Forcee, for resculog from drowning Assistant Lighthouse Keep- er Austion Foss on June 16, Koppel and Kane saw an overturn- ed boat offshore with a man clinging to it. Fastening themselves together with a heaving line, they waded out to a ledge. - A heavy eurl was break- ing on them, but they swam to anoth- er ledge farther out, which was partly under water but closer to Fosse, From this point they heaved a line to Foss who had sufficient strength to make it fast. By this means they dragged him to the ledge, on which they had a footing, but the surf was too rough for them to attempt the return trip with Foes, Help bad been rummoned in the meantime, and the scout patrol boat Pauline, commanded by Allen, went to the rescue of the three men. The heavy surf made it impossible for the vessel to approach near the ledge, to which the sesmen were clinging with the exhausted lighthouse keeper. Al- len picked op the keepers overturned boat, righted it, and sculled to the ledge, rescuing the joo periled men. STUDENTS WARNED NOT TO BURN MIDNIGHT OIL The supply of kerosene will run short next winter and the Govern- ment is urglog every user Lo do hls part toward masking every gallon to do full war duty by giviog forth ite fall measure of light and beat, Bav- ing can be accomplished, it is said, only if care ls given lamps, lanterns, heaters, and stoves, The director of oil conservation of the United Btates Fuel Administra tion issues these rules for fuel-oil sav- ing: Keep all lamps and lanterns clean, hind smoked and dirty chimpeys, See that burpers and wicks of all oll-burning devices are clean, Clean burners require less oll and give better lighte, Don’t allow a lamp, lantern, heater, or stove to burn a minute lopger than is necessary. Don’t light one you cad do without, Don’t use coal oil for; cleaning pur- poees. Hot water will do the work. ALLIES NOW HAVE BOMBING PLANES WORKING IN SQUADRON There were no serial bombing or- ganizations in the sllied fiylug corpse during the first year of the war Practically all the work In the air was in the nature of observation. No pilots could be spared for soythiog else, To-day probably 25 per cent of the serial arms are bombing fquadrone, 12 machines per rquadron. The first bombing was done by vol- unteer pilots who flaw over the Gere man lines and dropped three or four bombe, made from artillery shells, on concentration camps, and canton: mente, Bhowers of small steel arrow were apilled sometimes on convoye, men. The Germans began day bomb- ing of cities in 1915, and the allies in the same year. tion in organized bombing developed rapidly and the French began night bombing, but this was not undertaken by the Germans until August, 1916, At the present time large groupe, including several rquadrons of bomb- ing machines go over the lines from time to time and completely destroy their ol jective, be it a city or a camp, a column of trooper, or a trench sye- tem. Unfortunately the allies’ air forces have to travel for many miles over hostile territory defended by anti- piroraft guns to attack German cities, while the enemy can atteck French cities by flying only a short distance boyond the allied lines. The allies are developing large bombing planes which carry sufficient fuel for long excursions and armament to protect them when they are attack- ed by fighting airplanes. Bombing squadrons are escorted usually over the line by fset fighting squadrons of 18 planes to » squadron, and then left to their own devices for the fighters seldom carry sufficient fuel to permit them to accompany the bombers on the round trip. The dropping of the bomb is similar to shooting a rifie. First you set your sights and wind gauge, you hold the rifle properly, and finally you pull the trigger at the proper moment, If your ammunition is standard, your sights correct, you hit the target, Bo with bombing. If you set your sights correctly, fly your plane correctly over the objective and drop the bomb at the proper time you will hit the tar ge. Ifthe ammunition mavufsctur- ere gave you good bombs the objective will be destroyed, | IDEALS THAT INSPIRED | RECENT JULY FOURTH | CELEBRATION Jo | New ideals that inspired the recent | July Fourth celebration were outlined clearly to the Division of Women's War Work of the Committee on Pub- lic Information by Miss Josephine Roche, director of work with the for- eign born, Bhe said: “ We proclaim a new Declaration of Independence for the whole world | which all people will share, instead of | America alone. We have always | been proud of Independence Day and | the ideals that brought it into being, | and on this particular Fourth, 1918, if | the women of 1776 could be here they | would realize that their descendents | have not drifted awsy from these | {deals and that the Americans who | have come more recently to this land | have been drawn by the ssme vision | of freedom which the founders of the | Republic had. | “These great groups of our foreign- | born are the people who have been | fighting for centuries for democracy | and liberty in the Old World just as | our ancestors fought here, A wonder- ful faith in America, a trust that they | will here realize their ideals and find for thelr children a better chance, bring them to ue, We are beginning to up- dertand we have as much to learn from them as we have to teach them, and that altogether we must work for the realization of our ideal America. “ Never has there been stich an all | American Fourth' or one whieh re- | pressed so truly and fully the intent of | the signers of the Declaration of Io- j dependence. From all quarters of the | globe America hss *drawn to herself {loyal citizens bringing ber the best | from tbe old land. New faith and |strength will leap in the hearts of {those people fi hting In IKarope | against autocracy and terrorism, when | they learn the tiding of this Irdependence Dsy on which | their former countrymen 8o over | whelmingly resfinm the pledge of | Atneriea to the oppressed of the | world ”". i | MOVIE PICTURES | BENDING LABOR {| TO THE FARM | Nearly every motion-picture theater |in the country is enlisted in the cam- | paign of the United States Employ. | ment Bervice of the Department of | Labor to supply labor to the farms. | The estimated total patronage of these | theaters is about 60,000,000 persons. | Eleven of the largest motion-pictare | mapufsctarers are coopersting with ue Farm Service Division in its | drive for maximum food production. | These film producers are releasing to | their sabsoribere—the theaters—mov- | ing-picture ** trailers’, oalling on all | those who possibly can do so to volup- | teer with the Employment Bervioe ! for harvest work and other forms of emergency farm labor.

Hot air rises, and air that is pot being con- stantly purified by circulation around the blocks of ice soon are unfit to come into contact with the food. When the warm air in the refrigerator rises it carries with it impurities and mole- ture which are absorbed from the sur- face of the food, and which if allowed to remain in the air spoil the food, The air which is warmed by passing over the food comes in contact with the ice where the moisture is conden- sed upon the surface and the impuri- ties are carried off by the melting loe, The air is thus dried, cooled and puri- fied. The cooled air immediately de- soends to gather up more molsture and impurities and thus the process is repeated continually. “It is advisable to allow heated food to cool before placing it In the refriger- ator. If put in when warm it raise the temperature of the refrigerator higher than it should go and melts the ice unnecessarily. The trapdoor through which the meltage passes out at the bottom of the refrigerator should be kept in place, beoatse If it Is broken or lost a constant stream of warm air is allowed to fl yw into the refrigerator, ( Continued on inside page. ) pe i eg A ra RE SUGAR ALLOTMENT ~~ GUT STILL FURTHER Move Necessary in Order fo Feed Our Boys Now on French Battlefields.

Because of the small amount of sugar allotments, somé of these manufacturers already have found it necessafy to close their plants, Many are using gubstitutes in making confections and are adopting other methods that will save sugar, “All hotels and restaurants and pub- lie eating places are rationed op the basis of two pounds for every ninety menls served, effective at once it they exceed this ration their supply of sugar will pot be renewed.
