AMERICAN MOLESKINSSU
PERIOR TOFOREICNP

American moleskins, particularly
those from the Pacific Northwest, are
superior to the moleskins of Europe
which largely make up the world sup
ply for industrial uses, according to
biologists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t should
be profitable, therefore, the biologists
declare, to trap these animals for
their pelts and so establish o new
American fur industry. This is true
particularly in the Northwest, where
the animals are large and plentiful,
and where it is often desirable to
keep their numbers down to prevent
iniudy to filds and lawns. Such a
new industry should be especially de-
sirable for farmers boys as side is
sue it is pointed out.
The habits of American moles are
described and methods of capturing
them and treating and marketing
their skins are outlined in Farmers
Bulletin, Trapping Moles and Utiliz-
ing Their Skins" recently issued by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. The publication also offers
suggestions for the tanning of the
pelts so that they may be made To-
cally into women's neckpieces, muffs,
and coats. Copies of the bulletin
may be had free 81 long as the supply
lasts on application to the United
States Department of Agriculture,

Among the conditions leading to
treatment in hospital are severe colds,

comparatively slight ailments. About
the only serious disease found at any

Even Food Administration Men CAM
Get Their Sugar.

Members of the Food Administra-
tion at Washington, D. c., now have
an added personal reason for urging
conservation of sugar.
A recent canvass of retail stores of
the city showed that of % stores Is
had no sugar. Three had only a small
supply Of cube sugar in packages.
Every store had less than 100 lbs.
and none had prospect of an immedi-
ate supply. OF three wholesalers and
one jobber, two had no sugar. One
had three-day supply.
No relief is promised for at least
six weeks, and Washington will be on
short sugar ration until after
Christmas at least.
In the Middle West and on the Pac-
ific Coast, where reserve stocks are
heavier, dealers generally are respon-
ding to the cry for help by placing
the same limit on sales in use in the
hard-hit Eastern districts-2 pounds
to a customer, providing other pur-
chases are made.

Germans Held in the United States
Number Nearly $500.

Two classes of German prisoners
are now detained in this country
One is comprised of sailors taken into
custody when the United States enter
ed the war; the other consists of
"alien enemies" civilians who have
been arrested and are now being held
under governmental regulations for
various reasons.
The principal detention camp is
at Fort Mcpherson, Ca, where ap-
prOximately $50 war prisoners are
held; at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, there
are 165 alien enemies; at Fort Doug
las, Utah, there are SIT prisoners of
war and 80 interned Germans. Small
detachments are now temporarily
Quartered at Army posts throughout
the country, but their number is rel
atively small.
Altogether there are 2,364 actual
prisoners of war in the CUSTODY of the
War Department and about 400 IN.
termed aliens held at the request OF
the Department of Justice.
1t is estimated that Germany is
now holding $50 sailors taken from
American ships by commerce raiders
and other German vessels.
