WATER PRESSURE
BY Jim Nance
SIS
The days are growing closer
When your garden will show signs
Of budding bits of foodstuffs Z
And climbing flower vines. \
You'll saunter out to sprinkle
All the growing little rows;
And you'll find the water merely
Dribbles from your garden hose.
P. S. - Complaints from all over
town say more water pressure is
needed in Chicago.
KICKS ON S. CHICAGO MARKET
STANDING IDLE.
On a 100000 piece of property at
91st and Calumet river a $4,000
market was erected in 1915 through
influence of labor organizations and
social workers of the district.
With a population of 100000 with
in less than a mile and rail and wa
ter connections, this structure stands
UnOccupied.
ut is remaining idle and the city
has not established a municipal mar
ket there because the labor CrganiZa-
lions, the wOmen's clubs and the en-
plOyes of the great industries out
there are less influential with the
city officials than the grOcers, butch
ers and produce men," Alderman
James Lawley, chairman of commits
sion which recommended building
market, said yesterday.
There is real need for the public
market in South Chicago. It is a
home of working people.

The first quotation Is from COM

The fine spirit prevailing is evident

The troops are taking their training
with cheerfulnees and are adapting
themselves to the novelty of billeting

the officers say they have made en-

Of the army but is due largely to the
enthusiasm pervading each company

':Don't Waste Food" Campaign
Waged BY British Soldiers

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE. June 30.-The British army
in the field is consuming about Is
percent less of foodstuffs per capita
than 1t did eighteen months ago.
This Is not due to any studied dimiu-
uation of rations, but to more careful
distribution and the prevention OF
waste. 1t 10 very easy for generous
commissariat to supply an army with
more than 1t can use. In the early
days Of the war. this practice of gen.
crosby was well nigh universal, be-
cause 1t was regarded as wiser to pro-
vide too much than COO little. and the
reaching of the exact mean is not a
simple matter. The policy Of oversup-
rly was well enough when foodstuffs
were fairly plentiful. but nowadays,
when the result of the war may de-
pend upon the solution of food prob
lens. nothing is being left undone to
prevent waste.
The British soldier is still the best
fed soldier in Europe, but the supply
departments are gradually rescuing
him from the stigma of being at the

Tue Americans Try
To Stay Kaiser, is
Report in Holland

AMSTERDAM, July 20-An attempt
on Emperor's Williams life by two
Americans was reported today by a
person who states that he knows the
circumstances.
According to his story, two men
managed to get near the Emperor at
Great Headquarters on July 3. before
the emperor went to Vienna. The
men were seized by detectives, the
tale goes, and were found to be in
possession of revolvers.
It is said these men, both Amer1-
cans, had been promised a large re-
ward by an American millionaire for
killing the emperor, and that they
were shot twenty-four hours after
their arrest.
No names or further particulars are
available. and the story has not been
confirmed.
The foregoing is an elaboration OF
Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam last
night, which said the story must be
treated with necessary reserve.

NEW YORK, July 20.-The problem
Of providing 100000 meals day for
the 100000 people in and around
New York city and to have these
meals provided at fair prices with
food in fair proportion to the supply
and demand here and from the allies,
is to be worked out by the central

tributors' association.
Present plans provide for the crea-
ton of an information bureau to keep
the public informed as to prices, sup
plies and the detailed condition of the
markets. 1t was said an average Of
LOO cars of food arrive daily in New
York and the committee plans to re-
cord the arrival of all incoming food
and report to the public its condition
and value.

and unused allowances must be held
over and added to the store for the
next meal or the next day.
The private soldier takes more kind.
ly to the "Don't-waste-food" campaign
than was expected, for at heart the
British Tommy has an aversion to
seeing good food going into the waste
box--he never did 1t at home, and 1t
looks like bad business to be doing it
in France.
1t requires no knowledge Of higher
strategy to see the good sense of the
don't-waste-food idea, and he has taken
on the antiwaste regulations with
more cheerfulness and less argument
than marked the adoption Of the steel
helmit or the gas mask.

In the Matter of Clothing
In the matter of clothing war has
brought the Navy even greater activ-
-iy. This winter for the first time in
many years Uncle Sans Jack Tars
require heavy winter clothing. For
in the peaceful winters since the
Spanish War most of our warships
have spent the cold months in the
West Indies, where chiefly the light
est summer clothing was adequate
and the amount of heavy winter cloth
ing required very small.
Each sailor serving in European
waters will have an outfit of special
clothing designed not only to keep out
the cold but also wind proof and
water proof
The navy has clothing factory in
New York city where it is able to sup
ply the fleet in ordinary times with
everything resuired in way of win
ter uniforms. But when this factory
was expanded to the utmost extent
it could not provide emergency win
ter garments for the navy in war. So
a great many contracts were placed
with outside factories for overcoats,
blue uniforms and special garments.
Even then there was difficulty in OBJ
tanning materials, such as raw wool
and uniform cloth, and it required Wig
liant scouting of wool and textile ex-
perts to dig up the supply and see
that the navy standards of quality
were adhered to.
