Raise Rabbits to Aid
Meet Supply, Says u. S.

Rabbits, which have proved a valu-
able source OF food in Europe during
the present war. may well be raised
more extensively in America by way
OF reducing the drain on the ordinary
meat supply, according to biologists
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture.
The business Of growing rabbits, the
specialists point out, can be carried
on by youths and adults not engaged
In military or other national service,
or in regular Industrial employment.
The animals may be raised in back
yards of cities and towns as well as
on farms.
The Belgian hare. says the state
ment. breeds rapidly. natures quick
ly, and produces a palatable and high
ly nutritious meat. The cost of pro-
duction is less than that of any other
meat. not excepting poultry.

SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS
NEEDED, SAYS BAKER
Secretary of War Speaks at Close
of Engineers Meeting.

The man in the laboratory. although
his work is not very spectacular. is
just as much a factor in the war
game as the soldier in the trenches.
Secretary of War Baker told the So
cicty for the Promotion Of Engineer
ing Education at the closing session
Of its annual meeting at Rauscher's s
yesterday.
"Never before in the history of the
world has science and engineering
been SO vital as now," the Secretary
declared. Our adversary seems to
have gone back to the barbaric ages
in his method of warfare. and to COM
bat him we must bring out all the
skill and ingenuity of our scientists
and engineers.
Nobody knows what the world is
going to be like when the war ends.
Nobody knows how long it is going to
last and what the sacrifices and
losses will be before a just and per-
manent peace comes.
Rehabilitation will be long-dra wn
out" he added, "and in this work the
best thought Of you men will be
needed.
TT is the fixed intention Of the
American people that when peace does
come it must be a just and perma-
nent peace, with all autocracies swept
into the waste basket"
The morning sessions were taken up
with the reports OF the various COM
nittees and an address by Prof A. H.
Blanchard, of Columbia University, on
THE Relations of an Engineering Di-
vision Of a College to the Municipal
Service"
B. G. Lamme, chief engineer Of the
Westinghouse company, and Chris
topher ]. Phillips. OF the British mis-
sion. addressed the delegates at the
final session.
The annual banquet was dispensed
with in conformity with the food con-
servation movement.

Defends TRAINING
Aft. MYER CAMP
Ohcer Says Military Courses Are
Not Too Severe.

Is the training at Fort Myer and
other camps too severe?
Surgeon +. e. Hoffman, Of the
United States Health Bureau, asked
this question at a medical conven-
tion at Rochester, ". Y, a few weeks
ago and the officers in charge of the
training camps have been hotly deny
ing II ever since.
- The training is severe" said one
of the officers in charge at Fort Myer
yesterday, and it has been made
severe because we don't want to waste
time training men who can't stand
UP under hard work. Training the
men are getting now is nothing COM
pared 20 what they'll get when they're
in the trenches and they had better
learn early.
Besides, we have only three months
In which to train the men and it has
to be intensive. 1t would be a diff
ferent matter IL we had plenty of
time to spend on them. We want
men who can think fast and learn
fast, and this severe training shows
them up plainly"
II anything, the training at the
later camps will be even more severe,
50 that the weaklings who get in by
accident will be dropped out sooner,

Fish, Ice Crenm-Occoquan.
Dick Colin ate some Goldfish cakes
and ice cream Friday night and went
to bed. At II O'Clock the hobgoblins
came around and poked their fingers
in his eyes. They danced on his bed
and Dick got up. clad only with a
frightful expression. and jumped out
the second story window. The weather
was warm enough for the September

mosquitoes would not bother him.
Everybody in the neighborhood of
Pleasant Court thought the incident
rather unpleasant. Dick didn't have

Joe WAlers strolled up to Barlow
Matthews and asked him for a match
last Thursday night as Barlow was
about to enter picture show. Joe
didn't want a match as he already
had a pocketful. But he did want to
match Barlow to q fight, and in a
sarcastic sort of way. invited Barlow
to have a drink in his room. 1t seems
that Barlow had swiped Joe's girl.
Joe had this on his mind and put the
matter up to Barlow.
The girl appeared and in the same
way they do In the movie melodrama,
Joe gave the bashful maid her choice
between him and Barlow. And just
for meanness the girl chose Barlow.
Joe said thank you" Che did noD,
and waded into Barlow with a chair.
Then Joe had to shell out ten whole
United States dollars in court. And
there was not even q look of pity from
his lost lady love.

Rufus Harris thought. He had a

friend wife took in enough washing
to pay his fine. But women are fickle
sometimes. and this one threw in the

night Rufus borrowed 90 cents from
wifey and won Is more cents in a
craps game. and then a bartender with
long arm pulled him in.
With Just 35 cents worth OF jag he
went home. and when wifey saw his

darken her door again. A policeman
came in the alley and picked Rufus
up and dropped him gently in the

FORD ANSWERS $1,OOO,OOO SUIT. Acted As Patriot in DenOuncing
 PreDarednoSS Film

New York, July 1O.-Henry Ford filed his answer yesterday to the $1,00O,000 suit for alleged libel brought against him in the federal district court by the Vitagraph com pany of America. The suit is based on the allegation that on May 5, 1916, MT. Ford caused to be published in 25O newspapers an article entitled Humanity and Sanity in which it was charged that the agitation for preparedness was due to the efforts of munition manufacturers, who were merely seeking profit. In the same article the statement was made that a picture play called '"The Battle Cry of Peace," produced by the plaintiff, was inspired by Hudson Maxim and others interested with him in the manufacture and sale of munitions.
 MT. Ford said in his answer that the subject of the published article had been discussed in congress and published broadcast throughout the country, and that, according to these discussions, the proposition for ex- travagant preparedness had the SUD- port of Hudson Maxim and other munition manufacturers. Then he called attention to. the book "Defense- 1eoS A'lellCd' T1lIleH Dy NIT. MdAlH. The picture play, "The Battle Cry of Peace," he said, was based upon the statements made in MT. Maxim's book, and the book and the play, ac- cording to MT. Ford, served to adver- tise each other. In describing the picture play, MT. Ford said it did not represent the true conditions of the country at that time, and was pre- scented at a time when the country had not been, and was not threatened with an attack or with war from any quarter
 MT. Ford said that he considered it his duty as a citizen to publish the ar ticle referred to, that he believed the statements made in his article were true, and that he had acted without malice or ill-will toward anyone. For these reasons he asks the court to dismiss the suit.
