lost as all had time get life belts.

The boat which ran into the ship
on which the Greenville boy sailed

is unknown, though it is thought that
the ramming of Aliens boat was en-
tirely unintentional and was an un-
avoidable accident.
When the boat was struck, the
crowd on board remained calm ana
composed, each one securing a lie
belt and fastening it to his or her
waist. Allen, according to message
received here from him, was thrown
on the bow of the Panama ship. 9th
er than a few minor bruises, he was
unhurt.
The other passengers on the ship
were rescued and the Panama boat
took them back to New York.
Allen, who is member Of the base
hospital unit, number 8, New York,
will remain in New York till more
equipment can be procured for his
company when il will sail again for
France. The courage and spirit OF
the young Americans in the unit are
undaunted and they still hope to
reach France and be at work within
the next three or four weeks.

HOW 1T IS DONE.

This is how it is being done In
New York and in every other city
and hamlet of the country:
"Take a deep breath
Count one-two-three.
"Take another deep breath"
"Now cough"
Cough again.
Taken in charge by doctor, each
man is first required to answer three
questions: Have you found that
your health and habits in any way i'll
terfere with your success in civil life?
Do you consider that you are nav
sound and we'll? have you ever
been under treatment in hospital or
asylum?
Next his wight and height are
taken and snoted. Then his chest

order 'sTake a deep breath" is given.
There then begins the examination
of the lungs, the doctors tapping the
chest and back in half a dozen places
and applying the stethoscope. This
is accompanied by the order Count
-one-two-three," and many of the
men examined yesterday had to count
half dozen times.
The heart examination is made
generally with the stethoseope and
then the possible conscript is requir-
ed to run around the table, after
which the heart is again "listened

spare and thoroughly fit looking
young fellow-made the trip about the

ORDER FALL FERTILIZERS EARLY
Railroad Service Serious Probe-Fertzer Dealers VIII
Be Required to Accumulate Orders So That Full Carloads
Only Shall Be Shipped-Railway Authorities Say
Fertilizers Can Be Handled i'm Half Number OF
Cars Ordinarily Used-A War Measure
Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga.
: C.. A. Whittle.

The world is hungry. To get more
Sood is an alarming problem.
How can the farms produce more
sood when labor is so scarce?
How can more acres be planted to
aood crops or how can more work be
given the acres usually planted with
ont more labor?
Increase of labor is hardly to be
expected, but there is one important
means Of help which the Southern
zarmes has been utilizing in the
past and that is Fertilizer. But this
100 is beset with difficulties.
Fertilizer can increase production
without increasing labor except at
harvest time. The warring nations
appreciate this, fact, and are giving
all the encouragement they can to the
ase of fertilizers.
The railroads can't do the busi-
ness expected of them unless every
freight car is loaded to full Ca
Dacity. To load them to full capacity
ahe fertilizer dealer must have enough
orders in to make up a full car load
before he can reasonably hope to get
q shipment. The earlier the carload
orders are placed the. better chance,
OF course, of getting a shipment. Be
cause Of the shortage Of equipment,
the railroads should have as much

time as possible to plan for moving the
fertilizer. Early orders will give them
knowledge of the number OF cars
that will be needed.
Government Authorities Backing 1t
The National Council of Defense has
sent out a bulletin on this very subject
urging farmers to order their fall fer
tilizers early so full carload shipments
might be made and the largest amount
Of human food produced.
The United States Department G.

and agricultural colleges and coun

overcome the transportation Difficult.
ties.
Half Cars Can Be Saved
Railway authorities have statistics
to show that half Of the cars ordinari,
ly used for hauling fertilizers could
do the business, if only they are load
ed to their maximum capacity.
Where full car load can not be
made up for one destination, then it
is to be filed with orders for neigh
boring stations along a railroad.
