Capps Knows His JO3
Rear Admiral Washington L. Capps.
chief naval constructor. who is to
succeed General Goethals, is a ship
constructor of international reputa-
tion. He represented this country at
the International maritime conference
in 1918 and was chairman OF the con-
ference committee on safety of con-
struction. He was the delegate of the
Navy Department to the international
engineering conference in San Fran
cisco in 1915 and chairman of the Sec
tion on naval architecture and marine
engineering.
Admiral Capps was for four years
chief of the Bureau of Construction
and Repair in the Navy Department.
In october. 1910. he was given a per-
manent commission as chief con-
structor with the rank of rear admi-
raj He is a native of Virginia and
was born in Portsmouth nifty three
years ago. He holds membership on
the Navy Yard Committee, which
passes on the extension of the perma-
nent naval establishment. He served
as senior member of the naval con-
centration board which established
the naval custom of constructing
ships by private plants on a 10 per
cent. profit basis. He also served as
senior member on the committee of
vessel building on the Atlantic Coast
and was associated with the Helm
committee which recently investigated
sites for submarine and aviation bases
on the Pacific Coast.
Daniels In Praice of Capps
Speaking of Admiral Capps selec-
tion. secretary of the Navy Daniels
said:
The most astonished man in Wasn-
ington this afternoon was Admiral
Capps when sent for and told that he
had been selected by the President
as successor for General Goethal 70.
This was absolutely his first intima-
tion that he had been under consid-
GRAFTON for the place. but he said at
once that. although in no sense an
applicant, he was an officer of the
navy, subject to the orders of the
chief. and would de-
vote his utmost energy to the success
ful accomplishment of any duty as
signed him.
Admiral Capps was for many years
chief constructor of the navy, and his
record of achievement in that position
is of the best. He is thoroughly
known and appreciated by the ship
building interests of the country, al
though perhaps not so we'll known to
the general public, as he is not an
advertiser. He served as chief con-
structor from November, 1903, to Oc-
tober. 1910. During this time the ton
mage of the navy was more than
doubled. and the majority of the pres
ent fighting vessels of the navy were
designed by him.

control of the collection work under

lar to the suggestion given by DIR.
Raunick in his report urging the sep
arating of the ash and garbage que>-
tion from health department work.
While the cost of collections per
capita will be increased by the city
taking over the work. the experts
have this to say about letting a con-
tract to a private concern:
Against Contracting Work
I'VE are quite well assured that no
reliance can be placed in any con-
tract with private parties, for efti-
cient work, unless at prices beyono
reason, for the quantities of materi-
ais from which returns could be se-
cured would not be large enough to

In closing, the need of immediate
action is emphasized as the engi-
neers state il will take at least six
months to rearrange and secure need
ed equipment should the reduction
company plant be purchased. Organ
ization of the new bureau and a cam
pain of public education also would
be necessary prior to the beginning
of city collections.
Council will take up the RiversiGe
annexation problem also tonight
with a view TO reaching a definite
agreement with representatives or
that district Months ago when the
question was brought up the COM
missioners would not agree to meet
some of the requirements of the COM
mittee from Riverside with the result
that no further action was taken.

collection and disposal, the engineers
point to existing conditions at the
reduction plant and the waste of
much of the rubbish that is collec,eG
Speaking of this. the report says:
Waste of FIrewood
Enough firewood is wasted to keep
half the poor of Harrisburg in at
least kindling fuel for the winter
season"
The use OF steam heat and gas ex-
tensively in the city, the engineers
say. eliminates the advisability of
building a high-temperature destruc-
tor because the amount of ashes coll
lected varies.
In the recommendations that will
need action by council to change
present laws and establish new rules
the engineers discuss the advantages
of "subways" or the narrow passage
ways built between houses below the
first floor level, but point out that
some of these may have to be wild
ened to permit easy access by csI
lectors.
That these subway" passages
have helped confirm the householders
in the use of nonstandard receptacles
or all KINDS, even baskets, is the
statement on this problem by the ex-
perts.

SOLDIERS TOLEAVE
ON TUESDAY NEXT
ALL GUARDS HAVE BEEN CALL
ED IN FROM THAT DATE AND
WILL GO TO MACON

After next Tuesday the familiar
khaki will not be seen on our streets,
and the city will seem dull for the
time being, as it is understood that
Camp Jowett will be a thing of the
past and the soldiers will be sent to
Macon. 1t is probable the soldiers
will remain in that city only few
weeks before they will be ordered to
the French front and receive training
back of the lines there. In the mean
time, those who are to go to the large
camps will see nard service before
they leave for France.
1t will be source of regret that
the soldiers will leave Brunswick. On
the whole, they have behaved as all
gentlemen should. OF course, some
exceptions are always the case with
a large body OF men, but the excep-
lions here have been very few.

WETTING SPOILS eggs
One Instance Found in Which
Cleanliness Is Menace.
Uncle Sans Specialists Say Great
Loss Results in Cold Storage
Plants From Washing Shells.

Uncle Sans specialists have dis
covered one instance where cleanli-
ness is not to be desired, where dirt
is protection rather than u menace.
Strange to say, this discovery has to
do with the preservation of one item
Of food supply.
Approximately 100000 dozen eggs
spoil needlessly every year in cold
storage simply because someone has
let clean eggs get wet or has washed
dirty eggs before sending them to
market, according to the experts of
the United States department of ag-
riculture. Careful investigations of
large quantities of stored eggs show
that from II to % per cent of washed
eggs become worthless in storage,
whereas only 4 to 8 per cent of dirty
eggs stored unwashed spoil. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. Water removes
from the shell of the egg a gelatinous
covering which helps to keep air and
germs out of the inside of the egg.
Once this covering is removed by
washing or rain which gets to eggs in
the nest, germs and molds find ready
access TO the contents and spoil the
eggs.
This enormous loss in storage eggs
largely can be prevented, it is de-
clared, If producers and egg handlers
will refrain from washing eggs des-
tined for the storage markets and take
pains to reduce the number of dirty
eggs by providing plenty of clean,
sheltered nests for their hens.
Millions of eggs spoil in storage be-
cause they have been exposed to dew,
rain, dirt, and sun in stolen nests in
the grass or fence corners.
In view of this great loss of valu-
able food, the department urges coun-
try storekeepers and hucksters not to
accept washed eggs for shipment in
case lots. Shiny eggs, especially in
the early spring, probably have been
washed. All washed eggs purchased
should be sold locally for immediate
consumption, it is declared.

NEGLECTED. SOURCE OF FOOD
Sweet Potatoes Can Be Made lmpor-
tant and Cheap Item of Dict, Say
Uncle Sans Farm Experts.

Sweet potatoes can be made an i'm
portant and cheap source of food, say
specialists in Uncle Sans department
of agriculture. 1t Is quite easy to in
crease the acreage enormously, and
the adoption of better methods of
handling and storing would improve
the product to such an extent that the
demand would be greatly stimulated.
Storing sweet potatoes has always
been more difficult problem than
producing them. A large part of the
Southern crop is kept in pits and
banks, with the result that probably
80 per cent of the potatoes decay, and
even those which are fit to put on the
market do not keep well. Moreover,
the pits and banks cannot be opened
during wet or rainy weather without
risk of iujuring all the stock in them.
so that it is not uncommon for grow
ers to be unable, because of weather
conditions, to get out their potatoes
at the very time that the market de-
mand for them is greatest.
These difficulties can be done away
with to great extent by the use of
sweet potato storage houses, 1t is de-
clared.

SAVE YOUR BOTTLES is CRY
Uncle Sans homecoming Specialists
Say They Can Be Used In Place
of Regular Jars.

Homecoming specialists of Uncle
Sans department of agriculture urge
every housekeeper to save bottles
especially wide-necked ones-for put
ting up fruits, preserves, jellies, jams,
and fruit juices. Saving of bottles is
highly important, they say, as there
threatens to be a serious shortage of
regular jars and preserving cans this
season.
The fruit products named, If sealed
with corks and paraffin, can be kept
perfectly in these makeshift contain
ers. Jellies, jams. and preserves can
be kept even in ordinary drinking
glasses, by the use of paper and par
affin. Fruit juices should be packed in
ordinary small-necked bottles.
The specialists are also urging all
members of canning clubs and others
not only to can products, but to dry and
evaporate all such products as apples,
pumpkins and squash. They advise
strongly that If containers are scarce
locally, those in stock should be used
to preserve perishable products which
have the highest nutritive value.
Nothing should be packed in Jars or
cans which can be conserved effective
ly in other ways.
Candy containers or other glass jars
with screw tops or glass shoppers, and
in fact any receptacle of glass, crock
cry or porcelain, can be sealed with
cork or paper and paraffin.
Large tin canisters or tin cans with
removable covers, provided the body
of the container is air and water
tight, will be found useful in cam
ming certain fruit products. Such con-
tainers can be sterilized and their COW
ere Theoretically sealed in place with
solder or wax.
