daniels expects to submit to Congress
this week estimates of $3.50. 100000

The money will be used to- expand
existing shipbuilding plants and to
build additional engine and boiler
factories as the destroyer program on
which the ship building industry now
is engaged represents the full charac-
ter of the industry.
Navy designers are preparing plans
for standardized destroyer to facili-
tate the quantity production of the
most successful weapon against SUBJ
marines. Parts of the engines will be
assembled from various factories at
central plants and forwarded to ship
yards building the hulls.
Details of the number Of destroyers
now under construction or the num-
Der contemplated IN the supplemental
program are withheld for military
reasons.
New destroyers will be delivered sc
rapidly beginning early next year that
the supply of trained officers and mer

crews will have to be expanded pro-
portionately.
The $3.50. ooo, 900 estimates. it was
indicated today, is minimum and
may have to be increased substanti-
ally.

Must Save Wheat and Meat.

Columbia. David r. Cokcr, United
States food administrator for South
Carolina, has issued an appeal to the
people Of the state advocating IL n>aot
less and whcaucss day for each week.
The following is the appeal to the
people Of South Carolina:
"The time has come for our people
to prove their patriotism by a little
self-denial. While the soldiers OF our
allies are bravely fighting and our own
splendid boys arc getting ready for
the big push we must do our part at
home to support and encourage them
"The United States food admins.
tration has asked every family OF tho
nation to abstain from using wheat
in any form during ono day Of each
week, and also to abstain from the use
of meat for one day. 1t Is estimated
that S0,000,000 to 90,000,000 bushels OF
wheat and 2,20O, 100000 pounds of meat
would be saved if the entire nation
adopted this program.
"Most Of our people thoroughly ap.
preciate our great cereal, corn, and
1t would be no hardship on them TO use
It exclusively not only one day. but on
several days of the week. With we'll
boiled hominy for breakfast corn
bread for dinner and corn muffin or
spoon bread for supper, none Of uh
will feel the absence Of biscuit or
light bread,
"Thc heed OF saving wheat and meat
Is very great and I, therefore. call
upon the people of South Carolina to
respond to the call Of the national
food administration and abstain from
wheat and meat on one day OF each
week"

This commission met at the govern
or's office last week to discuss ways
and means OF carrying on u statewide
crusade against vice, with more par
ticular attention to the cities whore
thore arc encampments.
Among the subjects which were con-
sidered was that suggested by the ma
tlOnal government Of securing police
women and providing detention homes
for the misguided, in the four rescue
homes In Greenville, Columbia, and
camp cities, the enlargement OF tho
rescue homes in Grecnville, Columbia
and Charleston; how to aid the local
authorities in these and other cities
and to give aid ard encouragement to
! citizens disposed to have evil condi.
tions corrected; to consider State leg
! islation necessary, such as injunction
and abatement proceedings; to put to
full use the present facilities for deal
ing with the vice situation; and to
consider the adaptation to state leeds
/ Of somo act containing the principles
Of The national white slave act.
A. S. tombstone. chairman Of the
commission. expressed himself as
much encouraged by the progress tho
national activities are making notonly
in suppression and corrective meas
ures but diversional measures In pro-
viding recreation for the soldiers, par
ticularly. He was particularly en-.
couragcd by the action OF the general
medical board Of the national council
for defense, which after most care
1uny considering the matter passed t
resolution that Sexual confluence 1.
compatible with health. and the bes
preventative of vencreal Diseases"
, The American Medical Association
has also passed a resolution in prac
tfcally the same language.
The situation in respect to vice IL
very similar to that OF the liquor prob
lcm. 1t is deferred by people OF simi
lar convictions. But those most active
in behalf OF the suppression of both
evils point to the moral and economic
and physical laws which condemn
both.
