country over to the next wheat crop.

IN special cabinet meeting to require
important sacrifices.
NO more pastry and no more crackers
or biscuits will be made except for the

Experiences of the past year in
France has shown the impossibillty OF

wheat was fixed at a price equivalent
to SlS5 bushel, in order to avoid an
increase in the cost of bread. The re-.
suit was a great decrease in wheat acre.

and barley that were not subject to
any limitations and brought better pri.

Retail price OF butter on the Paris
market was fixed at the equivalent of
6S cents pound. Immediately the re-
ceipts fell from forty.two tons TO less

The new minister Of subsistence.
Maurice Violette, removed the limitation
and more butter arrived, but the price
went up to dollar a pound at retail.
Most persons interested in the ques.

retary OF war, now are OF the opinion
that neither prices nor supplies can be
affected by DEGREES; that 1t is entirely
a question OF production and economy

only a passing control. This seems TO

The wheat crop OF 1917, according To

Proper Food for Weak s,omaehs.

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t is
also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect.

Now Cut Pics in Seven PIECES.

Chicago, May 31.-Moderate priced
restaurants are now cutting pies into
seven pieces instead OF six as has been
the rule for some time. Other places
are making four cuts to the pie and
are charging ten cents a piece. The
growth toward the penant-shaped cut Of
pie has been gradual from the time
when a pie supplied four pieces, then
five, which became six last year and
now seven pieces have to be taken from
each pie to show a profit for the res.

LESSONS IN AVIATION ARE
LIVELY MOMENTS FOR STUDENT
Instructor Goes Up With Army Re
cruits Of L. s. FLYING School

Chicago, May 31.-One Of the busiest
centers Of activity just now in connec-
ton with the training of men for SER
vice in the United States army is the
aviation field at Ashburn, a part of Chi
cago, about twelves miles southwest Of
the central part of the city At this
station fifty-five men are being taught
how to manipulate army bi-planes. Nine
instructors have been detailed on this
work. Twenty-eight machines, each Of
100 horsepower are in use.
Nearly all of those who are fitting
themselves at Ashburn for commissions
in the aviation section of the signal
corps of the central department, u. s..
army, are from Chicago. All are within
the age limits of twenty-one to thirty
years Capt. j. c. Morrow, who is a
member of the aviation section of the
signal corps, and is chief aeronautical
officer of the central department, says
that the men are OF a uniformly fine
type, that they relish their work and
have show ma splendid patriotic spirit
in applying for enlistment, as many Of
them have left positions with big busi-
ness concerns or have foregone finish
ing college work.
In charge of the Chicago station are
Captain Arthur Christis and two assist
ants, Captain Ralph Royce and Captain
r. S. Brown. All are officers in the av-
iation section of the signal corps, Unit
ed States army.

Soon Go 1t Alone.

The men who are under training at
Ashburn ere given about six hours of
instruction in flying, divided into les
sons of about twenty minutes at a time,
before they are allowed to operate a
machine alone. Instructors 20 with

ing field, and tell the novices how to
steer and otherwise manage the big bi.
planes. The student-aViator sits i'm
front, his instructor close behind him.
There are two sets of controls on each
airplane and If the unframed man han.
dies his levers wrongly the skilled hand
Of the instructor corrects the error at
once by using the auxiliary controls.
After the student has had his full six
hours of experimental training, I'm the
short periods, he is turned loose" as
the aviators say, to finish his aerial
education unaccompanied by an instruc.
tor.
The men have shown great receptivi.
~ and have soon been able to take care
of themselves. according to Captain
Morrow. He explained that the daily
flying periods were made brief because
experience had taught that as much, or
more, could be learned in them by the
student as could be learned in longer
periods and because 1t had been learned
that in other ways the short period ac.
complished more.
The term necessary for study and
practice before the student is ready for
his commission averages about five
months. The greater number OF those
now at the Chicago training station
have already had about two months
schooling. The things in which they
VIII have to make good" before they
can be accepted in the reserve are:
Severe Tests.
Climb out of n field 1000 feet square
and attain an altitude of 500 feet, keep
ing all parts of the machine inside the
square during the climb.
Glide at a normal angle with motor
shut off, spiral to right and left, and
change direction OF gliding.
Cut off motor at 1000 feet altitude
and land within 200 feet Of a designat.
ed point
ASahu over an imaginary obstacle ten
feet high and come to rest within
1900 feet OF II.
Make cross-country. triangular flight
OF thirty miles. passing two designated
points, at a minimum altitude OF $500
feet.
Make straightaway cross-country
flight of thirty miles. landing at a spec.
flied spot, both outward and return
trips to be at height OF $500 feet.
Fly forty-five minutes at height OF
1000 feet.
II the candidate for a commission can
pass all these tests he will be accepted
provided all other qualifications, physi.
cal and mental, be met. All candidates
must weigh not more than 100 pounds.

GOVERNOR CALLS CONSER-
VATION CONFERENCE
Leading Citizens Search for Practical Method of Increasing
Food Productions

Whereas, There is a scarcity of
farm labor and the consequent i'm
possibility of utilizing to its full
the resources even of improved
lands for food production.
Therefore, be it resolved, That
we favor every measure that will
afford a supply Of farm labor and
we petition that in the case of sell
ective CONSUMPTION for war service,
laborers be not withdrawn from
the farms.
After some discussion relative
to the ACCESSIBILITY of including
those working in canneries, the
resolution was adopted as first pro-
posed with an amendment, to the
effect that men to be exempt
should be actively employed on the
farm six days each week.
Josiah Marvel, in a forceful
speech, urged every man to do his
part and get away from the ten
dency "to let George do it." Let
each man do something to bring to
every man in this State the know
ledge that he must make two
blades of grass grow where one
grew before. Mr.. Marvel said, Il
have arranged during the last
week to grow on my farms an eX-
ira hundred acres of corn. We
must get that farmer down yonder
and up there interested-we want
to do our bit. We have one defined
unit that is available for this pub
licity work-the school district.
If the executive committee could
get in touch with every school
board, and get the men of every
school district interested - make
their conversation relate to what
they can do in added bushels of
potatoes, and corn-then the TO-
900 farmers of Delaware would
produce a sum total worth while.
1t is the duty of every man as a
citizen of Delaware to do his bit
by increasing the acreage for food
production.
Mayor Arley B. Magee of Dover,
urged every landowner to assist
the tenant farmer. If he can't af-
ford an added acreage because it
means more seed, more phosphate,
remodel the lease-instead of pay
ing for half, you pay for all, ad-
vance the money for him. That's
patriotism.
DR.. Mitchell spoke on behalf of
the students of Delaware College
saying they awaited the advice of
the committee; they stood loyal to
man, only awaiting the decision
in which way they could help most
as trained agriculturists, or as
men having received military
training, in this department of the
service.
Henry Ridgley declared, eve
must never lose sight of our OBJ
ject-to keep what we have, anc
to get more. 1t seems to me the
matter might be solved by a selec
tive employment bureau, who act
ing as a committee, should find the
names of former farm hands, ant
where they have gone, and make
an organized attempt to get then
back to the farm. The railroads
can better afford, and make better
substitutes than the farmers.

result will be surprising.

Scott OF the City Schools declared
that an appeal to the High School
boys of Wilmington would meet
with an overwhelming response,
but urged that such a policy be
carefully considered, in order to
make sure that the sacrifice should
be warranted. eff you do call
upon the boys" he said, "see that
they work there and live under
proper environment. Make the APP
peal to their patriotism and let it
be known by means of badge or
uniform that the are volunteers in
the service of their country"
In response to the opinion that
city boys would be of little use on
the farm, expressed by Mr.. Hughes
of Dover, Dean Hayward spoke of
the work of the boys at Mount Her.

the Dover Conference Academy,
declared, Boys can adapt them
selves as readily as any class of
people. If the boy approaches the
work in spirit of patriotism he
will stick to it to the end"
In repsonse to an invitation from
the Governor a number Of women
told of work already undertaken
and also of plans for the future.
Dean Robinson of the Women's
College told of the girls at the Wo-
mems College busy cutting ten
bushels of seed potatoes, of the
Junior class giving up their plans
for large dance, and using the
money instead for the employment
, of a Red Cross nurse as instructor
in First Aid Work. A census of
the college has already been taken,
the girls stating wha they can
offer by way of service to their
country. The greatest number of
students volunteer for invalid
cookery, many to run auto trucks,
and assist in the marketing of pro-
duce: others to help care for gar
dens. A number of students have
offered to return early in the fall,
and can fruit and vegetables, I'M
! der direction, for consumption
by the college. Miss Robinson pro-
posed that a census be taken of the
women of Delaware, the data fur
nished to state what training each
one has had, what they are willing
to do, and what time they can give
for the public good.
Mrs. Preston Lea told of the

Mrs. Snyder, of Newport, spoke
of conserving the food for winter

of the work of women, and urged
that every housewife be impressed
with the Importance of thrift.
DR.. Jason, principal of the State
College for Colored Students, urg-
ed that systematic effort be made
to reach the negro laborers on the
farm. Many of these people do not
read the papers, and they are not

the situation; they think that they

MUNICIPAL VOTERS LEAGUE URGES VOTERS
TO WAKE UP AND STOP COUNCIL STEAL

In issuing its report on this years
aIdermanic candidates, the Munich
pal Voters league urges the citizens
of Chicago not to allow the war to
cause them to forget the interests of
Chicago.
"The City Hall crowd is planning
to grab the election by default" says
the league report. "They want to
clean out the best men and replace
them by dummies. This year they
think the voters are asleep and they
are making a quiet but hard cam
paign to get rid of as many as pos
sible of the able and independent
members of the council.
IF you wish to go back to the old
days when franchises were peddIed
through the streets of Chicago and
the council was for sale to the high
est bidder, if you wish to put Johnny
Powers back on the throne and Tele-
