GOOD PROFIT CAN BE MADE Il.
 FROM MUNICIPAL WASTE

Washington, D. C., March 21, 1916. A survey of the nations resources in fertilizer materials has drawn atten- tion to the large supply of these to be found in the accumulation of gar bage in cities. This waste material contains nitrogen, phosphoric acld and potash, which are recognized as essential to the production of large crops. ValuaDle as these elements are to the farms o1 the country, the garDage m when they are tounu Is a source or trouDle and expense to Lne cities. 1t seems, LnereIore, LnaC Inls garuage can be dIsposed oI most ad- yantageously by returning 1t to the soil Tn the form ot fertilizer.
 m cities of lUO,0OU people or more the reduction ot garbage by methods winch furnish residue nt tor terth- ger use has proved to be a pronraDle mumclpal enterprise, and in smaller communities it might well be self sustaining. Numerous analysis or raw garbage show that, on the aver age, grease constitutes 80 per cent; and or the fertilizer ingredients po- tash, 0.3 per cent; bone phosphate, l per cent; and nitrogen in the form ot ammonia, per cent. On this basls the value of ton of raw garbage IS about 50, the grease being worth S3 and the fertilizer ingredients about S2.
 Since the grease IS of more value than the fertilizer, the reduction pro- cess is primarily designed to recover the grease. There are three principal methods of doing thIs. me garbage IS cooked and steamed ana then press ed dry and degreased Tn gasoline | Or, the garbage IS drled dIrecIiy III rotary hot ar kllns ana then ue- greased Tn gasonne; or It IS aried ano degreased Tn one operation.

 in the Unted States which nave 8 population of 3O,000 or over should adopt this method of garbage dispos- al, the total yield should be from 631 ,5O0 tons to 937,500 tons of fertili- ger per year. This would be worth from S4,7S0,0O0 to S7,OOU.0OO. Addi- tional fertilizer material could also be obtained in the cities from dead ami mals, street sweepings, and stable manure.
 This subject, specialists in the U, S. Department of Agriculture believe, merits careful consideration, because it will be of advantage both to the American farmer and to the cities from which he obtains his fertilizer.

MUST CONTINUE TO PAY
HIGH PRICES FOR MEAT
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, July 6.-High meat
prices probably will continue. This is
the conclusion of the department of
agriculture as set forth in an exhaust
i've report on the situation made pub
lie yesterday. High meat prices pre-
vail throughout the world. One rea-
son for this is the fact that produc-
tion has failed to keep pace with the
increase in population. Other con-
tributory causes given are the in
creased cost of production and dimin-
ishing purchasing power of the money
unit.
An interesting feature of the situa-
ton in the United States is that, while
the production of meat is on the in
crease, it is not yet proportionate to
the growth of population.
While holding but little or no hope
for lowering of meat prices in the
near future, the report says that there
will be a gradual growth and expan-
sion in the worlds production of beef
mutton and pork which may or may
not equal the rate of increase of the
meat-eating population.

MACHINE GUN COMPANY
HAS BEEN ORGANIZED
Jacksonville Metropolis)

(
Col. A. H. Blanding, commanding
the Second Regiment modified at
Black Point, has organized machine
gun company from among the COM
panies Of his regiment, and with its
completion all the necessary units to
complete the regiment entirely are
mobilized and ready to proceed to the
border. The machine gun company
of the regiment is in command of
Capt. Shields Warren of Gainesville.
Quartermaster stores, consisting of
shoes, underclothing and other neces-
sites are being issued to the men to-
day. Ordnance stores are also being
issued. Colonel Blanding announced
today, and it is expected that within
the next several days all ordnance as
well as quartermaster stores will have
been supplied the men.
1t was stated this morning that in
stead of using mules the machine gun
company which has been mustered in
will use motor trucks. Five trucks
and four Lewis automatic machine
rifles will be furnished, but it is
probable that these will not be sent to
the state camp grounds, but to the
border, to be furnished upon the ar
rival of the regiment at the concen-
tration point.

SITUATION THAT MIGHT
PROVE SERIOUS
Connecting Pipes at the Water Works
Inadequate for Demands of
Large COnfagration

A situation exists at the water
works which might prove very serious
in the event of an unusually large fire
The situation, moreover, has existed
for years. Two four-inch pipes con-
meet the old reservoir with the set
Ting basin, the water flowing by
gravity. Engineer David Henney
called councils attention to this last
night, saying that these two pipes
might fail to meet the demands in an
extraordinary case, and recommended
that the two pipes be replaced at once
with a lten-inch connection. Mr.. Hen
ney pointed out that the two four
inch pipes really gave no more SER
vice that single six-inch pipe.
Another thing which Mr.. Henney
called attention to was the short
stretch of eight-inch pipe connecting
the water works with the ten-inch
main which supplies the city. He
pointed out that no more water could
be put through the ten-inch main
than would be put through the eight
inch connection, and he recommended
that ten-inch connection be put in at
|once.
Superintendent Caldwell of the wa
ter works has instructions to make
the changes.

PHYSICAL PREPAREDNESS

Education


New York, July 6.-The influence
of the war in Europe upon American
schools and the aid the schools may
give in the maintenance of perma-
nent peace, were discussed yesterday
at the annual convention of the Ma
tional Educational association.
Virtually all the phases of public
school education were under discus
sion at sectional meetings. Philander
p. Claxton, United States commits
sioner of education, declared he be-
lieved physical preparedness neces-
sary. He said he was told by re-
cruiting officer for the United States
marine corps that Al, 1000 men were
examined in order.to obtain 1000 re-
|cruits. At that rate, he said, with
Il ,000, 900 men in the United States,

|fense."
"Three hundred thousand children
die in this country every year from
preventable causes he continued. "If
we should be invaded and 100000
children were killed we would dc
something about it, but these children

MOVING OUT OF MEXICO
Hundreds of Refugees Arrived in New

New York, July 6.-The Spanish

here yesterday from Vera Cruz and
Havana.
Passengers from Mexico City de-
clared the conditions there became SO
unsettled that all who could left for
Vera Cruz, in fear that train service
to the latter city would be diseon-
tinued. They said every train was
crowded to capacity, and that all
steamers in Vera Cruz harbor took
aboard as many refugees as they
could accommodate. Those who came
from Mexico City asserted the reason

was that business was at a standstiIl,
money was deprecated and food was
scarce.
It was said that many foreigners
remain in Mexico City, principally
Germans and French, whose business
interests kept them there.

SPEED AND ENDURANCE OF
Dogs

Few people realize of what remark
able speed dogs are capable Some
statistics In regard to this have been
gathered By NJ. Dusolier, a French sci
enlist. After pointing out the mar
velous endurance shown by little fox
terriers who follow their masters pa
tiently for hours, while the latter are
riding on bicycles or in carriages, he
says that even greater endurance Is
shown by certain Wild animals that
are akin to dogs Thus, the wolf can
run between fifty and sixty miles in
one night; and an Arctic fox can do
quite as well. If not better.
Eskimo and Siberian dogs cum trav-
ell forty-five miles on the ice In five
hours, and there is a case on record
in which IL team of Eskimo dogs traV-
eled Vi and a half miles in twenty-eight
minutes According to NJ. Dusolier.
the speed of the shepherd dogs, and
those used or hunting ranges. Is from
ten to fifteen yards q second. Eng
lish settlers and pointers hunt at the
rate of eighteen to nineteen miles an
hour. and they can maintain TINS
speed for at least two hours. Fox
hounds are extraordinarily SWIFT. az
is proved by the fact that n dog OF
this breed once beat Il thoroughbred
horse. covering four miles in six and
Il half minutes, which was at the rate
of nearly eighteen yards second.
GreYhounds are the swiftest of all
