High Cost of Blackberry
lam Affects Army Ration.

Owing to the prevailing high
price of blackberry jam, the
war department, on recommen-
dalton of the committee on sup
lies of the council of national
defense, is considering the ad-
visibility of changing the regu-
lation jam ration Of the army
from blackberry straight to
jams of alternating kinds, in
Guiding peach, strawberry, and
plum.
sit is not difficult to get black
berry jam for $4,000 men," the
committee points out in its rec
ommendation, "but 1t is not
practical to attempt to get 1t for
more than 100000 men, par
ticularly when some of the crop
has already been put up in 9TH
er than regulation army tins.
Moreover, other kinds would
prove a pleasant change for the
men,"
The army's estimate of re-
quirements for 100000 men
for one year is 220,642 cases,
each of "a tins.

Measure the juice and return it to the

sugar for each measure of juice. Stir
until the sugar is dissolved. Let 1t
reach the boiling point. but 1t must not
boil or bubble. AS soon as the boiling
point is reached pour the sirup into
sterilized bottles or jars and seal them
while hot.
Two to three tablespoonfuls Of this
flavoring sirup added to glass Of wa

great us uuIluS Oul VNh
Civil war the vast number of COM
batnnts engaged in the great battles
of today has resulted in the loss of
many tens of thousands of arms and
legs. No official figures have been
made public for any of the belligerent
nations, but 1t is estimated that at
least $4,000 soldiers have recovered
from their wounds minus at least a
leg or an arm. While the various
trades Of war are all doing a booming
business some of the collateral indus
tries designed to overcome or anchor
ate the havoc wrought by war are
equally busy. Not the least interest
ing Of these Is the manufacturing Of
artificial legs and arms
OF the hundred or more American
artificial limb factories everyone has
been surfeited with orders, some large
ones having been placed by the Eng
liSh and French governments while
many private orders have been re-
ceived from soldiers themselves.
Large shipments are continually being
made abroad, the British blockade of
course restricting the sales to the sol
diers Of the allies. One pioneer Amer
lean firm has completely equipped fac
tories not only in six large American
cities, hut has found it necessary to
establish branches in London and
Paris, all working night and day in an
endeavOr to meet the abnormal de-
mandS.
1t is somewhat of coincidence that
the crippled soldiers of France should
depend for their best artificial limbs
upon the product of American skill
constructed principally of English will
low, in spite of the fact that the faith
er Of real surgery was a Frenchman,
AMBROSE Pare. It is true that Hip
pocrates, the great Greek surgeon, who
lived 1000 years before Pare, per-
formed amputatiOns but only small
percentage of the patients survived the
shock. Pare's greatest work came on
the battlefield some 300 years ago,
where he performed dozens of opera
tons which advanced the knowledge
warded since the beginning of time.
There he discovered that instead Of
pouring boiling oil in gunshOt wounds,
as had invariably been the custom, a
much greater percentage of rapid re-
cOveries were made when the oil was
omitted and the patients were handled
carefully and cleanly, thus bringing
about the first step toward modern
antlseptlc surgery. Yet while surgeons
from the Greeks down learned how to
cut off legs and arms without killing
u"onle, hut little was accomplished un-
I'll the present generation in replacing
the lost members. Egyptian hero
glyphics show one of the lesser known
Of the Pharaos, who had suffered the
loss Of his legs, struggling about with
blocks of wood held in his hands, not
unlike the street fakirs of today. Even
HE crutch did not appear until the
fourteenth century. and the crude
wooden limb or 'peg-leg" was invented
not until after the time Of Pare.
The artificial limb of today is some
thing Of Il marvel. Many men with a
leg off below or even above the knee

Grass tips or clippings are an excel

Washington, May 9.-The railroads

that the requested 10 per cent increase
in freight rates would fail BIZ at least
S20,6OO.O0O to meet advanced operating
costs already effective end anticipated.

figure was computed By /. +. WettlinG,

into evidence statistical tables to show
that the increased revenue from a gen
cral - per cent advance would mean
IN added revenue to the Western roads
Of $l35, 300 900. Higher cost Of labor
and other items Of operation TO which
the roads already are committed have
increased their expenses by S126.l00,-

that IN 1916, the biggest year of their
history, the Western roads received A
net return Of slightly less than 512 per
cent on the property investment. Mr..
Wettling declared that if the roads had
paid this years prices last year they
would have made profit Of only 31s
per cent.
Representatives of the Western roads
began presentation Of their case late
to-day. after executives of lines in the
Southeast had told the commission that
an increased rate of at least 10 per
cent was necessary COR them to conduct
their business properly.
Joseph H. Young, president of the
Norfolk Southern. said the emergency
confronting the railroads was brought
about by the war. Vice President
kirkland Of the Florida East Coast said
10 per cent was not sufficient to cover
increased operating costs, even though
his road had been able TO reduce its
costs.

Carlstrom Killed
With Army Pupil
AS Aero Collapses
Noted Aviator Falls $500
Feet in Flight Over
Newport News

Newport News, Va, May 9.-Nlctor
Csrlstrom. aviator instructor at the
Atlantic Coast Aeronautical station
here, and Carey B. Eppes, of Newport
News. an army student aviator. were
killed to-day when their machine col
lapged at an altitude Of about 500
feet.
The machine was smashed and the
bodies Of the aviators mangled almost
beyond recognition. Hundreds saw
the accident and children at one OF the
public schools were panic-strcken
Carlstrom was giving Eppes his first
lesson. They rapidly rose to about
5000 feet and were flying smoothly
when the machine suddenly crumpled
and plunged downward. As it fell OBJ
servers saw the right wing sailing after
it. It had given way and caused the
remainder of the plane TO collapse.

fame when he flew from Chicago TO

that he had flown from Newport News
to New York without stop, setting a
record for 'cross-country flying. Carl

for altitude with pilot and one passen-
ger, having assembled to height of
$500 feet here a year ago.
A few weeks ago Carlstrom received
an appointment as first lieutenant in
the army aviation reserve corps. He
was considered one Of the best instruc-
tors and had a large class of army stu

Eppes resigned his position as teller
in a local bank last Saturday and had
arranged to take the aviation course as
civilian until his application had

Wake Up the Nation!'
Is Appeal to Teachers
Defence Council Depends on
Instructors to Impress Wars
Reality on Pupils

Washington, May 9.-Much Of the
responsibility for waking up the ma
ton to its new responsibility" will rest
with school teachers, said DR.. Hollis
Godfrey, chairman Of the Defence
Councils committee on science, en-
cheering and education, tonight in
statement addressed to educators.
Three cardinal suggestions" he
said. might be made to public school
teachers: Get in touch with your state
council Of defence and your state uni
versity authorities; make a careful
survey of the possibilities of your
school and your community for all
kinds of war service, particularly agri-
cultural. so that this information may
be ready for time Of need, and assist
as much as possible in organizing them
locally; use every opportunity to en-
phaslze to your students the meaning
OF the war and the demands for SER
vice which it has brought forth.
THE problem before US is one Of
adapting diversified local conditions TO
national needs. and public school
teachers, both men and women. can be
of the utmost service. "
