Who First Camouflaged.
A word that has quite a vogue at
the moment, but was probably never
heard of until the outbreak of war, is
"camouflage" -the art of making a
thing look what it is not, Tho word
and, to a great extent, the idea, is
French in o1•igiil. Early in the war a
group of young painters in France
formed what they called the Battalion
de la Comoufie, and their duty was to
"make up" genas, cars, shelters, and
gun emplacements, and whole
stretches of landscape, to deceive Ger- 1
man aviators. •

tive and positive. It nines at making
praetieally invisible what is to be hid -1

White grubs are difficult pests to

of the parent June bugs if this is done
at the season when they are moving.
Boys following the plough can collect
many of the grubs, and turkeys and
