ARTILLERY ENCAMPS
AT St. ASAPH TRACK
Second Battalion Of Third Regi.
ment to Form New Command.

The Second Battalion OF the Third
Regular Artillery is busy today estab-
fishing camp At the newly leased Gov
ernment reservation at st. Asaph's
race track, near Alexandria The
troops arrived last night at the camp
on the forty-five acre tract.
The work OF building Q home will
take two days. and after that the
gunners will plunge at once into their
apportioned task OF expanding to
form the new Twelfth Regiment.
One battery will be sent next month
to Fort Myer to instruct the artillery
company OF student officers. The rest
will stay at the st. AsAph's camp.
The battalion, comprising 446 men,
has been stationed on the border.
At first II had been intended to
encamp the men at Fort Myer. but II
was found there was no available
space there. So the Government was
forced to take over the private prop
erty.
The camp site probably will also be
used to take care OF the overflow
students from training camp to be
established at Fort Myer in August.

reasons: First. because the best in
terests OF the city require Il; second
because this is the Nations Capital
and an example should be set here for
other cities in the country, and third,
because the people OF the District
have no vote, and only through q
powerful, centralized and representa-
tive organization Of this character
can the people here hope to get recug-
milton by Congress and enjoy the
rights to which they are entitled.
There Is greater need today for ef-
fective business organizations than
ever before In the country's history.
We are facing, as a result Of this
war, the greatest changes that this
country has ever seen.
New Conditions Arising.
There must necessarily be auns-
erous readjustmsnts and new con-
ditions will be constantly arising
which the business men OF the coun-
try must meet
at Is clear that, however we'll we
may have been able to get along
until now with these more effective
combined organizations, in the i'm
mediate future we are going to be
confronted with conditions that will
require q very much more effective
work than we have ever been called
upon to do in the past.
There can be no hope Of doing this
work successfully unless all pull to-
gether for our common good. This is
no time for strife among ourselves.
Broadly speaking. the interests Of
all business men are the same. and all
should work together for their mu.
tuaI interests"

FOOD TO BE CONSERVED
BY CAMP FIRE GIRLS
D.. Luther H. GuIick Offers Sug-
gestiOns for Table Economies.

Members Of the local Camp Fire
Girls, in sympathy with a national
movement TO conserve the food sup.
ply OF the country. will Esalously
watch every scrap Of food place on
their tables to see that II IL not vast
ed, according to an announcement to-
day.
Pertinent suggestions were made by
DR.. Luther H. Gulick, president OF the
organization, with headquarters at
461 Fourth avenue, New York.
II was pointed out that every scrap
OF food wasted might have been used
to keep some one OF our allies from
starving.
"we. must feed our friends, the
allies" said DR.. Gulick. I'VE must
feed ourselves. We are going TO take
from four to six million workers
away from their present occupations
and put them into the army or at
work for the army. With this short
age Of labor, we cannot increase the
amount Of wheat, corn, beef, or pork
which, we produce unless every girl
begins to help now"
He concludes that patriotic table
manners" must prevail and that the
Camp Fire Girls should do everything
possible to prevent food waste.
How To Save Food.
Following are some OF the economy
MEASURES urged usss the sisls:
Save and use every scrap OF bread
or other wheat product.
Use meat or eggs but once q day.
Use ali leftover bits Of meat and
bones for soup, stews, and hasheB.
H.. - rIrha ~ 4
siderable extent
Buy only the food which is needed.
Clean out all bread and cake bowls
and dishes used for cooking cereals
with a spatula.
Scrub potatoes and eat the skins.
Do not have many things to eat at
one meal.
Have only two courses at meals.
Use rice instead OF potatoes. Use
rice water for soups.
Spaghetti and mGearoni take the
place OF potatoes.
Use the less expensive and more
nourishing cuts OF meat.
Cutting Down on Butter
Use little butter. Leave no scraps
on your plate.
Don't help yourself to more than
you can eat
When serving food make the por-
tions small.
use vegetables which have been
raised in a home garden.
Can all fruits yourself.
In the fall gather all edible nuts.
Throwing away leftover bits OF
foods is throwing away the lives OF
our friends and allies, in the opinion
of DR.. Gulick.

board made 1t a practice right from
the beginning to assume that the low
er boards were right in disallowlns
exemption pleas until investigation
and, II necessary, additional infoi ma"
ton showed that they were wrong.
1t was assumed that the lower
boards, being on the ground, as II
were, and in perhaps majority of
cases having personal knowledge of
the circumstances of an appellant,
knew whether a plea for exemption
was just.
But where the district board be-
came convinced that an error had been
made il did not hesitate to re,crso
the lower board. The total mum ber
of appeals allowed is not known by
the board itself, because no record
was kept of them, but it is probably
not over one hundred.
Grant Few Pleas.
IT Is doubtful if a district board in
the United States granted as few pleas
for exemption as the Tulsa board, and
it would be a most remarkable thing,
indeed, if it made no mistake in any
one of the thousands of cases II oe-
cided. There is no court OF record in
the United states with such record
and there is not district or superior
district judge OF any United States
court that is not reversed on error
certain number of times out of every
hundred decisions rendered.
The Tulsa board was fortunate In
having as one of its members an able
and experienced lawyer to give It ad-
vice and Judge Harry II. Rogers serv-
ice in this respect proved invaluable
Seven appeals for exemption were
allowed by the board before adjourn
ing yesterday.
Daniel II. Thompson, because his
wife, his wife's father and his brother
are all afflicted with tuberculosis oi
threatened with it, was discharged or
his dependency claim. He lives a.
Paola, Carter county.
Glenn Speer of Bailey was exempted
on agricultural grounds.
Bccson Exempted.
Charles A. Beeson. who operates ar
oil mill at Chickasha, was also eX
| empted on this ground. 1t was showI
! to the board that the company coulc
not find man who could take HI!
place. The exemption was recon-
| mended by the county attorney anf
| others.
The appeal of James r. Walton o
NoWata was sustained. He sought eX
emption because of dependent wife
who, altho an Indian, has lost ne
property because of family misfortune
