Uncle Sans Cooks

No, you aren't the only vic
tim Of the servant problem.
Here is another sufferer.
Uncle Sam, rich and power
full, good to his help" and the
surest pay in the world, can't
keep his cooks any longer or
better than the ordinary SUBJ
urban commuter. He offers them
good pay, easy hours, and lots
of nights out" but they simply
will not overlook the fact that
they are cooks, bred and born,
and so keep moving on.
United States marine corps
statistics covering the last two
years show a greater percentage
of men deserted who gave occu-
patton prior to entry as cooks"
than any other class enlisted
during the period.
Desertions from the marine
! corps are very light at all
!: times, and we're it not for the
!: cooks, marine-corps officials be-
. lieve that the oldest branch Of
: the service" would have an al
; most clean slate with regard to
assertions.

Old Correspondence Being Saved.

In response to suggestions from
Uncle Sam, many large business
houses are aiding in relieving the
shortage of paper by saving their old
correspondence, which in the past has
been burned. These houses are now
putting old correspondence in with
other waste paper, which finds a ready
sale. One large concern has found a
market in this way for about five hun
dred tons of old correspondence yearly.

Less Canned Fish Imported.

Stavanger, Norway, in a dispatch to
the department Of commerce, says the
exports of canned fish to the United
States have fallen of so per cent with
in a year. This makes a decrease of
practically Is per cent since 1914. An
increased European demand for fish
because of the war is given as the
cause for the decrease.
