AT GREAT LAKES TRAINING STATION Fathers and mother. If your boys have the honor to be accepted by our Uncle Sam (or hit navy (or four year, be assured that when the youngster are discharged they will posses a very valuable Industrial training that will help them get on prosperously In civil life. This picture shows a group of student seamen at Great Lakes Naval Training station, In Illinois, building a hydroalrplane on the shore of Lake Michigan for use In training naval aviator. Learning to construct such a delicate and expensive machine, tho boys will learn also the fundamentals of gas-engine building, electrical engl neerlng, mathematics, wood-working, metal forging, aerodynamics, physics and chemistry.

Since shortace of wheat made the price of flour soar, housewives of the country hare been seeking a substitute for white flour. The most practical substitutes are whole wheat flour, shorts, cottonseed meal and cornmeal since they all make palatable bread and may be obtained In most markets. At present prices these materials may be substituted for flour at a decided saving In the cost of bread. The University of Missouri College f .V;rrl culture hns rorcntlv issued Ag ricultural Extension Service Circular ! 25 which discusses a number of substi tutes for white flour and offers recipes for making war breads. Some of the breads which may be made by substi tuting different materials for all or a part of the flour are whole wheat bread, shorts bread, cornmeal and wheat bread, shorts cookies, cohon seed meal gingerbread, com dodgers and Boston brown bread. Whole wheat fl6ur has been sug gested as a substitute for white flour because it offers opportunity for utiliz ing as human food parts of the wheat .grain which were formerly used exclu sively for other purposes. Only about 72 per cent of the wheat grain Is used for white patent flour. The rest is sold ns bran or shorts for stock food. Whole wheat flour contains about 85 per cent of the wheat grain. This means that a given supply of wheat made 'into whole wheat flour will feed a larger number of people than the same amount of wheat made Into white flour. Whole wheat bread Is a better food than white bread because It contains a larger percentage of the mineral mat ter and other valuable food constitu ents than the white bread. Both whole wheat and graham flour have the added advantage of containing a large proportion of the coarse fiber of the wheat Shorts has also been suggested as a substitute for white flour. It may be used in any proportion up to three fourths shorts and one-fourth white flour. It produces a dark, somewhat heavy texture bread which has a pleas ant nutty flavor. Shorts may be used In combination with white flour In grid dle cakes, muffins, bread and cake, and In combination with cornmeal In Bos ton brown bread. Persons who desire copies of the cir cular on war breads may obtain them by addressing the College of Agricul ture, Columbia, Mo. AI Demaree's return to the Giants is another cvldenco of the eccentric whims of John McGraw. When Dcmaree went to Philadel phia In a trade with tho New York club, Gotham fans thought they had seen the last of htm In a Giant uni form, for McGraw seldom turns a AI Oemaree. player loose unless he Is satisfied that the player has outlived his usefulness as a Giant, and he seldom calls a man back. Because of this Deraaree's "come back" marks a peculiar turn In tho administration of the Giants. Only a few times In the history of the Giants under McGraw's management has a player been sold or traded and later brought back to the fold. Charley Ilerzog Is serving his third term as n Giant. lie was brought back from Boston and later turned SOME SMILES f EPIGRHYMES: w ll?

Ono of tho several dis cussions which have been thrown Into the modern hour which breeds dis cussions ns a field does mushrooms Is whether It Is better for u woman to look for quality or for stylo In her clothes, notes n lending fashion correspondent Tho argumentative nnd problemati cal side of tho clothes Is by no means a small issue In the work of winning tho wnr. No woman has n soul so dead that she does not want to con centrate her efforts In tho right direc tion, and to bring to nil the minor phases of life, which she mny have heretofore waved nwny with n care less gesturu the deep thought and high eltlcleucy which tho hour de mands. Once upon n tlmo the tnlk of clothes turned only to fabrics, tdinplng, acces sories nnd colors. This was enough to gossip nbout, nnd It gave tho public and tho dressmakers it lively tlmo. But wo have gone upward or down ward, whlchuver one wishes to cull It In a series of spirals to another stratum of air. Wo nro Intent upon tho discussion of what Is good or bud, what Is cheup nnd nasty ns op posed to what Is cheap nnd worthy in woman's apparel. Intelligent women, and otherwise, find that tho gauntlet of argument thrown Into tho urenu Is Instantly snatched up by everyone who has n voice, nnd tho problemat ical sldo of wnr-tlmo uppnrellng makes an enlivening discussion thnt puts scandal, society and love affairs In tho background. Controversy Between Quality, Style. This problem, which 1ms been pre sented to every woman during the last six mouths, ns to whether she should buy n gown which lasts nnd pay n big price for It, or buy ono which she may discard soon, nnd nt u much low er price, Is of high Interest It Is settled by the Individual nnd yet It Is Important to tho nnss. There Is nn advocate for each sldo in every crowd thnt foregathers to discuss the problem; nnd, more to tho purpose, there nro ninny ndvocntes for each side In the commercial world. The people who do exquisite work aro loud In their claims that It Is bet ter to pay u high price for material nnd. workmanship, thnt will Inst ns long ns economy demands, than to pay a fifth of that price for n ready-to-wear gown thut will full apart ufter a' few months' service. Opposing this argument, nnd con ducting n brilliant nnd usually suc cessful offensive, Is another line, made up of those who Insist thut In a day like this women prefer stylo to qual ity nnd workmanship; that they would rather pay somewhere In tho neigh borhood of $30 for n ready-to-wear frock thnt Incorporates tho newest fashion features and gives ono n smart look, even If It Iiub to bo thrown nwny before loiig. It has always been the method of the woman on u small Income, who wishes to dress fashlonnbly, to cure little "for quality or workmanship nnd1 spend nil on style. It Is for this rea son that Amerlcn presents tho most brilliant nnd dashing conglomeration of young women In thu world. Tho shops cater to this Immense crowd, which prefers five cheap gowns that nro smart to one ndmlrnblo gown thnt Is conservntlve. It looks now ns though American women aro to be divided Into two camps those who put ull their money Into one conservntlve, well-built gown that must last, und those who now nnd then buy frocks thut nre chic nnd thnt Incorporate tho new fashion features. HATS ARE MADE OF COTTON No Apparent Need of Conservation of 8traw, Yet Gingham Headgear Is Popular. There Is uppurently no need to con serve In straw, observes n millinery authority, yet the summer additions to fashionable millinery might suggest thnt straw wit, needed for tho.vlctorl ous progress of tho wnr. At nil events, there nro many hats designed for midsummer wear made of cotton in various forms, und they aro a really interesting donation to tho milliner's stock In trade. There nre, first of nil, tho gingham huts, mudo of glnghums of every de sign und color. These nro sometimes made to match tho gingham frocks with which they ure worn, but very often a pink and white plaid gingham hat, for Instanco, Is worn wlthn white skirt nnd it pink sweater, or n blue und white hat finds favor for weur with n bluo frock.
