Things look blurry and indistinct. This proves that they need KRYPTOK glasses. The glass es you now wear may be good for close work, but when you look up, you cannot see distant objects clearly.

IN THE DIVORCE COURT Hubby Charges Spouse With Stealing Money and Provisions Two days after the couple was married John Trachsel charged his bride, Marie, with stealing $10 and within a short time butter and cream were added to a list of articles he is said to have accused her of pilfering. They were married February 25, last, and the wife is 65 years old. Cruelty is the ground upon which she seeks divorce in a complaint filed here Fri day. She would resume her former name, Maria Loertscher. When Frieda Brown called R. C. Brown a "lazy fool," and otherwise taunted her hard-working spouse, adding insult to injury by kicking him, according to his complaint, Brown rebelled and Friday he filed suit for divorce in Judge Campbell's court. The couple was married at Tacoma on August 15, 1914. From April 8 to November 5, 1915, Brown alleges, his wife stayed away from her home for some unknown reason, but after he reinstated her in the home upon her return, she continued her cruel treatment, he says. Ernest W. and Emma J. Bailey are not suited to one another; they quarreled continually and their so cial status is widely different, ac cording to the divorce complaint filed by Bailey Friday.

Bailey offers to contribute $10 a month to the support of the child and allow hiswife the custody of the youngster? Courier and Daily Journpl $4.75. Clackamas Farmers Take Interest The local office of the Exteilsion Service of the O. A. C-, working in conjunction with the U. S. Agricul tural department, is fast getting re turns from the various units of the Council of Defense recently organized in this county, and reports, as far as they go, are encouraging. They indicate that the farmers are realiz ing their responsibility in the cam paign of food preparedness and many additional acres will be planted; of ferings of seed are being .made at a satisfactory rate, on the one hand, and many calls for information as to where they can get seed are proving the necessity of this very medium of exchange offered by the O. A. C. service. Prof. E. B. Fitts is anxious to mpress upon the farmers the will ingness of the service to aid them in any way possible, and asks them not to hesitate to write him about their troubles. As fast asthe blanks, which .were sent out to the various units through out the country, are received, the figures are being compiled and the information forwarded to Washing ton. The girls of the Honor Guard have volunteered their services in this work, and are proving a great help to Prof. Fitts and his assistant, Mr. Case.

While They Are Clever at "Spotting" the Submerged Boats, It Is Only by Great Skill and Good Luck That a Bomb Can Be Dropped to Iti Mark. lu some ways an aeroplane Is more effective in locating a sjbuiariue tliau a destroyer or a patrol boat, and it may even lie able tu exceptional cir cumstances to destroy the uudersea vessel, says C. G. Grey, editor of the London Aeroplane. There Is a popular Illusion, which Is not exactly a delusion.' tliut the ob server In an aeroplane can see as fur down Into the water as a submarine is likely to (live. Up to a point this Is true, for tf the water is clear It In pos sible to see some twenty or thirty feet Into It from a point vertically above, and If such water Is only forty or fifty feet deep a submarine is not likely to dive beyond the visibility point. It Is quite unotucr matter, however, where the water is u kind of leaded gray lu color aud where ten feet of water over the periscope Is enough to hide a submarine as effectually as if she were twenty fathoms down Therefore It is fairly obvious that t lie scouting air craft have to depend on surfaco vision quite as much as the patrol boats. Where the difference does come in Is in the angle of vision from which that surface view Is oh tallied. For Instance, a patrol boat mlsht well miss seeing a periscope half a mile away, especially if the periscope were between the bout and the sun. so that the reflection of the sun off the water was dazzling the lookout men. The aircraft observer, on the other hand, perched up aloft, w.mld have a far better chance. The peri scope, cutting through the water, makes a very distinct wake which spreads out on each side so that It makes a light but quite distiuct "uroad arrow" of foam. When the periscope Is above water the top of the conning tower is not far below, so that this also is visible unless there Is a heavy breaking sea. And probably the bubbles from the ex hausting air can also be seen. Thus an escort of seaplanes should have a far better chance of spotting ; the presence of submarines (bun could any escort of surface ships. At the same time it is well to remember that an escort of destroyers or some similar type of armed ship Is necessary, be cause the aeroplane or airship of today Is not capable of carrying guns big enough to sink submarines with cer tainty, and the art of bomb dropping from aircraft has not become suffi ciently a science to make the certainty of the bombs reaching their mark as great as is the certainty of a shell from a four Inch gun doing so. Therefore the aircraft by them selves can only hope to keep subma rines submerged by dropping bombs at them, though they muy sink one here and there by a combination of persoual skill and good luck, whereas by acting as "spotters" for the highly trained gunners of destroyer flotillas they can co-operate very materially In the ac tual destruction of enemy submarines. Where the naval air craft really do come in is In the Immense surface of sea which they can cover In a very short time aud their ability to take enemy submarines by surprise while lying on the surface "airing" them selves aud charging up their batteries A small fast scouting aeroplane does anything between eighty and a hun dred miles an hour, and at a height of 7,000 or 8,000 feet it is fairly i-ard to see. On land one is generally warned of an aeroplane's arrival by the sound of its engines, but at sea the lapping of the water and the whistling of the wind through rigging or around super, structure drowns the sound of the aero engine till It Is fairly close. Conse quently a seaplane has more than a sporting chance of getting within a mile or so of a submarine before it Is seen, and if It gets within that dis tance it should be able to make things very unpleasant for the submarine, even if it has not the luck to sink It outright. . Even at night hi moderately fair weuther, which is uaturully the best for submarine operations, big seaplanes with searchlights could do much to keep submarines under water aud so add to tlrfir troubles by preventing tbem from stopping on the surface long enough to ulr their interiors und to charge their storage butteries.

CHILDREN NOT NEEDED Adult Help, 18 Years and Over, Is Wanted on Farms Answers to questions sent to grange officers by the National Child Labor committee indicate that farm ers do not want or need city children Of the replies received to date, which I cover 15 states, 62 per cent say un I qualifledly "No," to the question, I "Are city school children wanted to work in your district?" An Illinois farmer writes: "Farmers are in need of adblt help, 18 years and over." The Minnesota state grange master says: "Nearly all the work is carried on by either gas or horse power and I find they do not understand how to drive a horse or handle machinery." Of those who mention the lowest age at which a boy is useful, 64 per cent say 14 or over. Those who men tion the need of children say they are wanted for berry picking or truck eardeninir. but only 12 per cent of all the answers say, without qualifi cation, that children are wanted on the farms.
