New York, Dec. Industrious re-
of milk, which is causing the poor to
drop it from the diet of babies and
young children, are reported by the
experts of the National Children's
Bureau, who fear widespread sick
ness and a rapid increase in infant
mortality, unless milk is continued in
the feelings.
That the situation is desperate is
shown in the reports of social work
ers during the past few weeks.
In New York City the Mayors
Committee on Milk, reports that the
total supply has been reduced 25 per
cent and that the consumption of
milk in certain parts of the city has
been reduced by half. In the analy-
sis of the milk consumed by 1900
families it is shown that among them
there were 5438 children under six
years of age, and 1884 from to Is
years old. The milk estimated to
be adequate for these families, was
1924 quarts, whereas the amount act
ually purchased was 1893 quarts. OF
100 families who dropped milk en-
tirely 70 substituted canned con-
densed milk, and 1913 of the 1880
families visited were substituting tea
and coffee. Children under six years
old were found in 214S cases to be
drinking tea and coffee. For babies
under one year old the amount of milk
purchased was less than that of last
year in more than half the families.
twenty-five families with babies have
ceased altogether to buy milk.
Poor Discard Milk.
In Philadelphia social welfare
workers report that many of the poor
er mothers have practically given UP
buying milk.
The Children's Bureau estimates
that every child under six should
have at least pint and a half of milk
! daily.
Cost Is ProhibitiVe.
To meet the situation disclosed by
these reports constant efforts will be
made by the Children's Bureau to in
duce families to buy the required
amount of milk. Except in cases
where the cost of milk is really pro
hibitive for the Gerry poor, it is be
lieved that families can be educated

URGE ADOPTION OF new POLICY
Director Page of Public Roads Addres

Obtain Effective Construction
Effa2a Next Near

Washington, d. c., Dec. 12-Emph.
ASKING the wartime stress being plac-
ed on all transportation facilities in
the United States, and pointing to the
necessary for selectiye highway con-
struction as a means of relief Director
Logan Waller Page of the Office OF
Public Roads and Rural Engineer ng
today sent letter to the states high
way departments urging the adoption
of a definite policy in good roads
matters with view to eliminating
from next years construction the non
essential roads and obtaining effective
guarantees for the construction OF
those which are essential. Need for
efficiency through cooperation Of all
persons directly or indirectly instru-
mental in road construction, is the
keynote of the letter.
Seek ng Better Results
Calling attention to the fact that
road construction throughout the
United States had been seriously ham
pered by reason of excessive costs,
scarcity of labor and inadequate trans
portation facilities, Director Page de-
clares: This situation would be ser
ious even in normal times, but in this
crisis when the public roads must in
addition to their normal troffic be de-
pended upon to relieve the tremendous
strain to which the railways arc sub
jected, it becomes a matter of vital
Importance that some means be found
at least to deal with next seasons wor,.
at least to deal with next seasons wo
so as to assure better results than are
possible under our preent system"
Proposes New Policy
The policy proposed by Director
Page, and on which he requests eX.
preston of opinion, is outlined as
follows:
% The selective consideration OF
all of next years construction jobs in
all of the states and the preparation
of program of road work throughout
the nat on in which program eoch con
struction job would be listed in the
order of its economic importance tc
the particular territory in which it Is
located and to the nation as whole
This arrangement, he points out
would permit of the postponment Of
relatively less urgent undertakings.
(2) A coordination of this selectivt
process with the railway and water
transportation facilities with a view
to insuring an adequate number o
cars and vessels of suitable type, will
proper ditribution to transport mater
ials for the construction of the ap
proved jobs.
| (3) A coordination with the mat
erials industries with view to in
surfing supplies of materials in ad
equate amount. distribution and deli
veries to permit the construction pre-
gram to be carried out.

rotary Baker Was Forced to In
tervene-Board Discharged.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The snail
like pace of congress, the war depart
ment's red tape, the breaking of con-
tracts and the labor situation are all
blamed today by Major General Gro
zier, chairman of the ordnance forces
for the serious delay in getting Amer
lea on a war basis program.
Witnesses Called.
Major Crozier was the first witness
before the senate military associa
ton committee in the investigating
of the war situation. In connection
with his inability to secure the appro-
priations, which has delayed the
starting of an artillery program he
said:
Hard To Get Money
'Tn September we had to get thir.
ty-five million dollars from the one
hundred million dollars emergency
fund which had been granted to Pres
ident Wilson to keep contractors at
work in many of our ORDERS" he
said. 1--WE got one appropriation in
June and no more until October. In
the meantime we discovered that the
program which We had embarked on
was no program at all, particularly as
to artillery.
We Were Helpless.
Manufacturers refused to take the
risk of the contracts before congress
appropriated them the money. There
Efore work did not begin. We were
helpless.
"Bickerine" Made Delay.
Bickering of the ammunition boart
over prices caused the delay" Gro
zier said. This board has replace,
the war industry board several time
because they could not agree on
fair price for steel equipments. Sec
Rotary Baker once had TO step in an,
end one of the chickering's over tn
