Arstocracy has taken up the ''tuber
campaign" and, beginning with the
Countess Of Noailles and the Duchess
d'UEes, chatelaines all over the coun-
try have promised to dig up their
lawns and plant vegetables. Flower
gardens, also. win BE- consented to
the solution Of the economic crisis.
The rose, the vine and the orchard
are not To be touched, but all annual
flowers and all green swards must
give way to the democratic potato, in
the interest Of the national defense.
Since there Is not enough labor for
the farm lands already under cult

army OF a greater number Of farmers
and the Importation Of more Indo-Chi-

pected to count more effectively In
solving the agricultural problem than
the efforts to transform the chateau

been approved by the naval archi-
teot OF the United States Emergency
Fleet Corporation. The awarding OF
contract for tho construction OF a
large number of vessels is now undor

The advantages OF this type Of yes-
scl. according TO It's promoters, are
that il can bo constructed in one

twelve months for other types, and
they could be launched thereafter at
