This is the time to look about the | neighborhood to see whether there | is near at hand any breeding place for flies. It is the time to consider the lid on the garbage can, whether it is tight and whole. look into the back yard of the neigh- bor to seewhether there isthere any- thing which is incompatible with the health of the people in the vicinity. It is the time to look into stables, livery stables, or any place in which whether there is to be found a manure heap kept to see in which the fly loves to breed. It is the time for vigilance and for re- porting to the health department and to the police whatever is not in ac- cordance with the regulations safe- guarding the health of the com- munity. It is not enough to screen the house against the entrance of flies, though that is very important. It is essential that the encouragement to flies be reduced to the minimum. One should approach the question of flies with the conviction that if a city entertains flies it does so be- cause the people in it are indifferent to the public health, insensitive to the presence of filth, for flies tell a story of dirt, neglect and general in- sanitary conditions which is as much 'to be relied upon as a danger signal as an evil smell. ! + + Conscientious Buiccion | The conscientious objector has al- "ways been a troublesome factor in 'war time, and he is not in any sense limited to the men who refuse to don uniform because of religious scruples against killing their fellow men. We have always with us those who are constitutionally opposed to practic- ally anything that means advance- ment or change from established conditions. We have those who are always ready with the suggestions that effort one thing might be spent on another. these conscientious principle, with conscience so attuned disapproval of planned for much better We find any number of objectors on registers 'whatever is on foot.. ie For the 'most part the' conscien- the | will be| Articles | ch this office} for | 1 summer will soon | | and | | It is time to | {two recipes. to self-deception, an to the tious objection is simply an incident | excuse | public for failure to take a proper | part of the work of the world, a | | fiction invented to cover a conscious- take advantage of the undettled con- dition of all activity to point out the 60 comment u in- for pon an excuse nonpar- rein. cientious ul place in is not regarded as a hero, exactly.

[In view of the fact that twilight in | England under the summer time | schedule lasts until ten o'clock, it works out that going to bed when the light fades has come in into vogue. As the London Observer re- marks quite plaintively, "the fireside seems to be the only resort after nine-thirty. The general eflect will be to send us to bed earlier, sumably to get us up earlier in the morning."

If through this simple liv- ing we arrive finally to a new plane of high thinking we shall have much to regard as compensatory in the experiences through which we are passing today. ++ + |: POTATOES INSTEAD OF WHEAT | Potatoes are plentiful but wheat is scarce. We cannot well export po- tatoes because of their bulk, but we can use them at home and save wheat for our boys "over there". Potatoes have high food value and body build- ing properties. One medium-sized potato gives us as much starch as two slices of bread. When you have potatoes for a meal, you need less bread. Potatoes can save wheat. Po- tatoes make good bread and can be prepared in many palatable ways satisfying to the appetite. Here are Use them and ask the War Emergency Union for others. Also write the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington for Bulletin No. 468, "100 Ways to Use Potatoes". It will be sent without charge.

The letter will meet a| daring response in the heart of every foyal)} American. It reads "My worst experience in the air was awaiting me. We flew in the] afternoon. I took the machine and |a parachute and climbed to 1800 me- ters. We were only climb 1400, but I disobeyed probably saved my life. I threw out the parachute and took a couple of | turns at it. After diving at the thing and mounting again, I started into |a round-versment with my eyes on | the parachute. Unconsciously I went | into a loop and stopped in the up- | sidedown position, where I hung by my belt. I took the motor and grabbed a strut to hold myself in the seat. Plane Falls 1000 Meters "The machine fell in its upside- down position, till it gained terrible speed; then it slowly turned over |into a nose dive, and I came out in |a tight spiral, which slowly widened into a circle at ligne de vol, but the controls were almost useless, and it toek all my strength to keep from diving into the ground. You know what 'skidding' is. You can imagine what loss of control in an automo- bile going at high speed would be, but you cannot imagine what loss of control of an aeroplane speed would be, any more than a lumber |iack can imagine a million dollars. | When a machine is upside down the stress comes on the wrong side of |the wings and is apt to spring them. My plane had fallen a thousand me- ters, and the wings had been sprung out of adjustment so that the con- trols were barely able to correct the change. . Feels Death at Hand "T did not regain control of any sort till I was four hundred meters from the ground, and then I could do nothing but spiral to the left. In that fall, when I found I could not control the machine I believed it was my last flight. It was the first time I have ever been conscious of looking death squarely in the face. After the first hundred meters of fall I was perfectly aware of the danger. I tters written by avia- | hospital | 1t, will be of especial | s other | supposed to] and it | | was wholly possessed in turns by doubt, fear, resignation (it was just there that I was almost fool enough to give up. anger that I should think l of such a thing, and finally realiza- 1 that only cool thinking would ing me out alive--and it did. From I spiraled down four hundred meters the | Bi { |'with barely. enough motor to keep i f falling, in order that on the controls would be ium. The old brain was work- o clearly then, for I made a fine al ljustment of the throttle and gaso-! |'le enough to counteract the res stance of controls, crossed in | . | order to counteract the bent wings, and just enough to let the plane sink fast enough so that it would hit the | ground into the wind in the next i turn of the spiral, which I could not | | avoid. Makes Perfect Landing "Allowing for the wind, I managed {to control the spiral just enough to land on the only available landing oround in the vicinity. The landing was perfect, but the machine rolled in the ditch and tipped up on its nose. As I had cut the motor just before landing the propeller was stopped and not a thing was broken. If the wings had been bent a quarter of an inch more they would have carried me home. "The machines they use here are old ones, and that was probably re- sponsible for the accident. The weak spot of the Nieuport caused many to tell what had happened. Again the gods were with me, and I lived to be the wiser. When I undid my belt and climbed out of the machine my hands were never steadier or my mind more tranquil. from the detention camp near by swarmed around and I set them to work righting the plane and wheel- ing it over to a post where an Ameri- can was on guard. "Leaving the machine in 1 his care I hit across country for the aviation field. As I walked through the brush- wood the beauties of nature were possessed with a renewed charm. The sea breeze, perfumed with the scent of pine, seemed a sweeter incense; the clouds wer more billowy. My step was wonderously buoyant for T felt like one to whom the gods had oiven special privilege to return among the treasures of his childhood. The passing of death's shadow is a stimulus to the charm of living." While at the institute Ely pulled on the 1918 Tug-o-war team two years, and was in the 1916 Tech Show. He was registered in Course IV from which he would have grad- uated this June. 15 ounces riced potato. 10 ounces wheat flour. Cook the potatoes without paring until soft, peel and run through the ricer. Soften the yeast in the water, add the syrup and salt. Add the riced potato and stir in as much flour as possible. Let rise until morn- ing (or if started in the morning un- til very light). Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough, turn out on the board and knead in flour slowly until very stiff. Let rise until treble in volume and then make into loaves. The dough softens, so knead in the remainder of the flour at this stage. Put in pans and let rise until double in volume. Bake an hour, starting in a moderate oven (350° F.) and slowly increasing the temperature to a hot oven (425° F.). The substitution of mashed potato for flour is not easy because the amount of water in the potato varies. In this recipe the amount of potato used is one and one-half times the weight of flour. This recipe makes one loaf. While Some One gives his Life-- what are YOU giving ? ----Think a minute All of the Red Cross War Fund goes for War Relief DR. W. W.
