WANTS STR0NG LAWS TO !.
PROTECT NEUTRALITY.
Attorney General Gregory Makes
Recommendations In Annual Re-
port-334 White Slave
Convictions,

Washington. Dec. THE annual
report of Attorney General Thomas
w. Gregory. made yesterday. urges
Congress to take immediate steps to
strengthen our laws so that there will
be less danger of the United States
becoming entangled in foreign COM
plications.
His recommended lions for legislation
follow:
Forbidding interference with the
shipment of munitions, food supplies
or other merchandise from the United
States by hating shipments. blowing
up factories manufacturing the goods,
placing bombs on ships, interfering
with goods in transit by rail or IN
storehousas or in any other way re-
tarding and stopping commerce.
Strengthening the prohibitory laws
against filibustering and provisioning
ships at sea.
Providing for 81 -veillance of in
termed privately owned foreign yea
sells while in American ports, to pre-
vent the Matching OF plots aboard
them.
Protecting wireless from interfer-
ence by foreigners or their agents
and preventing unlawful and unneu-
trail use of secret wireless stations.
Strengthening the passport laws to
prevent frauds upon them and max
ing 1t a crime to misuse the great
seals of the State or other depart
ments of the government
Forbidding the fleeing from their
stations of informed soldiers Or sail
ors of foreign beligerents
Preventing the printing OF paper
money or the coming of metal money
by anyone in the United States on be-
half OF any faction Of a foreign ma
ton where there is factional strife
Providing Federal search warrants
which will enable officers to seize eff
fects or suspected foreigntrs, such as
spies.
Strengthening embargo laws so as
to prevent the smuggling of arms
and ammunition in packages ostensi-
bly, containing other articles.
The attorney-general rem w d
recommend ations he made last year
urging legislation as follows:
More completely to divorce the
transportation business from the pro-
ducing business so railroads cannot
own mines. mills and other industries
producing the goods that are to be
transported.
To strengthen the laws on removal
proceedings so person wanted in one
State can be more readily obtained
from another. This legislation Is de-
sired to provide a Federal warrant
which would run anywhere in the
United States
Providing the al pointment of ad-
uitional Federal judges when incum-
bents are over seventy years of age.
and who. although appointed for life.
are too feeble to discharge their full
duties.
Prohibiting the sending of threat
ening letters through the mails.
Furnishing thefts of government
property by simplIfed procedure.
Extending from one year to three
years the statute of limitations In
bankruptcy cases
Three hundred and thirty-four
white slave cases, instituted by the
Department of Justice. have resulted
in convictions and there were more
than 400 cases pending at the close
of the fiscal year ended June 30 last.

PRODUCTION OF FOODS
KEEPS UP WITH GROWTH
Fears Population Was Outstripping
Food Production Set At Rest BY
Secretary Houston's Report.
CATTLE AGAIN ON INCREASE.
Lowest Point In Alarmin Decline In
Beef Production Was Reached In
19f3-Says United States Can Feed
Large Portion of World.

Washington. Dec 7.-Fears that
the population Of the United States is
growing so fast that II will outstrip
the production of food are set at rest
by the annual report of Secretary of
Agriculture David F. Houston, made
to Congress today
The production of foods in the
United States has held. it's own In
some branches and has increased in
others. The alarming decline in beef
production which set in some time
ago reached the lowest point in 1918,
and since then has increased materi-
ally. At the same time there has been
marked increased in the production
of swine. Sheep have declined slight
ly More of these meat animals have
been slaughtered under government
supervision during the fiscal year
ended June 30. 1916. than ever before,
the report states. The heaviest slaugh-
tering has been accompanied by an in
crease in the number of living ami
mails, however.
Secretary Houston says that the
situation gives reason for the bright
est optimism, ii being indicated that
the United States cannot only supply
its own food needs, but can feed
large proportion of the people of the
outside world
To Increase Food Supply.
The report states that the depart
IN cnt has energeticaily worked
through the eradication of disease
and the development OF stock raising,
to increase the food supply. He rec
ommends the Inauguration of a Wig
orous campaign against tuberculosis
In hogs and cattle which, he esti-
mates is causing annual losses in
the United States of s2500o.000 The
grazing capacity OF the public domain
has been increased from Is to 80 per
cent during the year, the report says.
The perfection of grazing regulation
on an additional 100000, 900 acres of
public lands would enhance the meat
supply says the secretary. Secretary
Houston advocates more sheep rails
ing
The secretary's report states that
the secret of continuing to feed the
world lies in the expansion by the
American people of the acreage OF
tilted lands. Food crops should be
stabilized and better regulated, he de-
ciares. Crops should be rotated
scientifically, the secretary declares,
and the entire business of filling the
soil should be placed on more
scientific basis.
Mr. Houston's report SAYS much
progress has been made in improving
methods OF marketing crops, particu-
larly fruits and vegetables. He tells
OF his market news service by which
news of shipments of crops is dis
tributed to the farmers
a marked Improvement in the quail
ity OF food and drugs offered the
public has been brought about
through rigorous enforcement OF the
food and drugs act. says the report.

pAeEaALL FINE.

The baseball days again have come,
The gladdest of the year;
Again the heroes known to fame
Upon the field appear.
The eager crowds are rushing in,
And stands and bleachers fill,
And over that great concourse sweeps
A wild ecstatic thrill
The cranks and fans Of all degrees
Are there to howl and scream
And here and there knocker wants
To back the other team.
Adjacent roofs and poles display
Bold kids on perches high.
And to each knothole in the fence
Is glued watchful eye.
At last the umpire takes his place.
To be the boss of all;
He swiftly glances round the field,
And then he yells play ball!"
The pitcher sends twister in.
There's rushing here and there.
And whoops and yells and cheers make
plain
The seasons on for fair.
The umpire gets the same old roasts
He often got before.
And Singing the taunts that come
S From rooters who are sore.
A runner spirits from base to base,
And slides across the plate. rs
While rooters yell till they are hoarse
And all hands jubilate.
Each lucky hit is hailed with cheers
The cranks iot down all feats,
And victory stirs frenzied fans
To tear up bleacher seats.
From start to finish there are thrills
And when the game is won
The cranks and rooters spend long
hours
Telling how twas done.
There are some other gamess of course
That men and urchins play;
There are some other heroes VINO
At times are feeling gay.
But they are all forgotten ~when
We come to baseball time
And see the diamond heroes up
4 Fame's shining ladder climb.

Silk From Sawdust,

Making artificial silk from sawdust
and other lumber waste lis the latest
experiment of the United States forest
products laboratory at Madison, Wis.
The use of artificial silk made direct
~ from wood is increasing by leaps
and bounds Originally it's principal
use was in the manufacture Of braids
and trimmings, but recently the manu-
fadture Of hose from artificial silk has
become an industry Of vast import
ance. Other uses for artificial silk are
woven goods Of all kinds, Innings,
tapestries etc. neckties. ribbons,
sweater coats, etc. about 100000
pounds Of artificial silk are used an
nually in the United States. There are
several methods Of manufacture, butt
that from wood pulp is usually made
by treating the wood pulp with caustic
I've to form viscose, which is allowed
to age for some time. Tt is then forced
thru dies to form threads. which are
hardened by trea tment with sui
phuric acid, ammonium sulphate, and
sodium borate, or formlc acid. After
washing and drying, the silk Is ready
for use. The laboratory Is investigat-
ing the artificial silk problem as pos
sibility for utilizing wood waste, and
has on hand variety of articles made
from the material.--Boston Transcript.
