WASHINGTON, July 2S-Owing to the
ingevailing high price of blackberry jam
the War Department. on recommendation
of the committee on aupplies of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense, is considering the
advisability of changing the regulation jam
ration of the army from blackberry straight
to jams of alternating kinds, including
peach, strawberry and plum.
1T is not difficult to get blackberry jam
for $4,000 men," the committee points out
In its recommendation. but it Is not prac-
tical to attempt to get 1t for more than
100000 men, particularly when some of
the crop has already been put up in other
than regulation army tins. Moreover, other
kinds would prove a pleasant change for
the men,"
The army's estimate of requirements for
100000 men for one year is 220,642 cases,
each of twenty-four tins.
