But the men and women, among
whom was Mrs. ". X. Vanderbilt, arose
and cheered themselves hoarse at TINS

he continued. Suppose somebody ad-

"Then, suddenly you are awakened

the better of him. would you then say,

Colonel Roosevelt paused, then burst
"By heavens! you've got to use the
poker! Right now!"
The Colonel then explained he had
no idea universal service should be

measure. but for all time to come. lie
said that every young man of the coun-
try should. at the age of eighteen or
nineteen. receive from six months to
one year of military training under as
nearly the conditions he would face IN
war times as possible. He appeared
surprised when practically everybody
in the hall cheered his utterance. -,
I'm mighty glad to hear you applaud

Steel Ship Makers
To Feel u. S. Spur
Administration Plans to Assure
Supply of Iron as Well as
Wooden Vessels

Washington. April Enforcement
plans to increase the output of steel
merchant ships reached a point to-day
where it appeared probable builders Of
this class of vessels will be asked to
come here next week to confer with
members of the Shipping Board and
the Council of National Defence.
The Administration believes that
while it is desirable to build as many
wooden ships as possible to meet the
messing need for vessels to carry food
stuffs and ammunition to Europe. it
also is necessary to keep up the con-
struction CT steel ships to provide for
the future.
The Council of National Defence and
the shipping Board are working to-
gether on the problem. A survey of
the situation is being taken. and off,
Gals think it possible to increase the
output or steel ships. Yards will not
be encouraged to turn from steel ship
building to the construction of wooden
vessels, as facilities for the latter work
can be found elsewhere.

While Colonel Roosevelt is waiting
for the authority he hopes will permit
him TO lead a brigade Of volunteers
into France and plant the Stars ard
Stripes on the firing line, he intends
to eliminate all Injuries from his
household and WELD a hoe in the cam
paign for increased food production.
He so outlined his programme to a
gathering Of Nassau County folk at
the Mineola Fair Grounds yesterday.
But he emphasized the necessity for
getting the flag upon the battle front
did IL so emphatically his hearers left
the meeting convinced his heart would
be in France even when busy in the
peaceful pursuit Of cultivating pota-
toes and beans.
As the Colonel, bronzed and brim-
ming with energy, strobe into the hall
the farmers and other residents Of the
county, including several New York
fnanciers. arose and cheered.
"Are you going to France, Colonel >"
asked Ralph Peters, president Of the
Long Island Railroad and chairman Of
the meeting. +
"By George, I'm going II they'll let
me-" he replied.
The Colonel began his talk with an
invitation to the wealthy men present
TO eliminate Injuries, cease to use for
purposes labor that
should be employed in raising food and
give up automobiling for pleasure be-
cause of the probability that all our
gasolene will be needed soon. Then he
began a plea for prohibition that took
his audience by surprise and won
storm of applause.
A Blow at Liquor Traffic
"While there is such an unprece-
denied demand for grain we should
have legislation that will make 1t i'm
possible to divert it into intoxicsnts,"
the Colonel said. "All our grain is
needed for food. We should have a
law passed at once that will make IT
impossible to transform grain into al
coholic drinks"
Then he suddenly switched to the
naval and military needs Of the coun-
try.
''Your chairman has introduced me
as many former things, but had moth
ing to say about what I am" he said.
"Well. I guess that's about right, for
I'm not even a brigade commander
now"
"But you will be. Colonel" inter
rupted a farmer in the rear of the hall,
while the rest cheered. Colonel

Wastefulness of food products IN
New York City homes is becoming a
thing of the past. Not only is 1000
being utilized to the last mouthful, but
many delicacies are vanishing.
The high cost of living and the re-
cent admonitions of the government to
conserve food supplies on account OF
war conditions are bringing about this
frugality.
The effect here is shown in the
records of the Bureau of Final DISPOSE
ton of the Street Cleaning Department
which has charge Of the collection OF
garbage and refuse. The records OF
the last few months show a gradual
falling off in the amount OF table
waste" collected. What the experts call
the quality" of the garbage, the fats
and other ingredients used IN the
manufacture of by-products, has de-
creased even more.
Little Waste at Present
A few months ago it was common
thing. according to the Street Cleaning
Denartment officials, to find hambones
and even broilers, with considerable
meat left on the bones, in the table
waste. Now there is no such waste.
LARGE quantities of green garbage,
from vegetables and fruit, have almost
entirely disappeared c.-.ln.
p. P. Green, Assistant SuperlntendenIss
If the Bureau of Final Disposition, said
Yesterday that the quantity and quailty
Of such waste collected by the cry nad
become so much smaller and INFERIOR
compared with last year, that the oPer-
ators of the by-product plants on par

ANALYSIS Of Garbage Shows
City Is Becoming More Frugal
Barren Island Rehneries Are Inclined to Complain
Because of Great Decrease in Fats and Oils
in New York's Table Waste

The income to the city from that source
has been affected accordingly,
A large part of the oils distracted
from the city's garbage formerly was
exported to Germany for use in the
manufacture of soap and other prod
ucts. The war has shut off that mar
ket. The oils are now sold to Amerl-
can soap manufacturers, but the pres:
ent amount obtained is far short OF
supplying the local demand.
Greatest Saving in Brooklyn
The records Of collections in the city
for January, February and March OF
this year, as compared with the same
months in 1916, show a falling off of
several thousand loads. The decrease
is greatest in Brooklyn, where it has
been about 1000 loads less. The fig
ures for that borough are as follows:

That GRADUATES

Yale Would Then Know
How Far To Go On Foot
ball This Fall

Walter Camp, dean of Yale football
authorities, has suggested that in or
der to settle the question as to wheth-
er football shall be played this fall or
not, circular letter be sent to grad
yates asking them to subscribe for
seats in case they favor the retention
of the game. He points out that if
conditions should be such as to pre-
vent the contests, provision might be
made that the sums necessary to re-
serve seats could be applied to other
sources such as the continuation Of
teachers salaries.
/. "By adopting this means" states
Mr.. Camp, 'the university authorities
would know positively what they can
afford to expend in preparation, and
in time to act understandingly, and
their word would be accepted Loyalty
If they determined that conditions
in the fall made 1t inadvisable to have
football. No one is DESTROYS of forget
ting the serious business at hand but
q clearer understanding of the situa-
ton would help on all sides. The
chances are that such a course would
clear the way for football and general
athletics Of character less Deepen
dent upon large expenditures, but
quite enough to furnish interest and
relaxation from what would otherwise
be too depressing influences"
