Sanitary Fountains,

An investigation of drinking foun- tains at the University of Minnesota carried out by the state board of health. led to the rather startling re- suit that the 77 fountains in use at the university, most of which belonged to various supposedly sanitary" types were found to be improperly construct, ed to prevent contamination by the consumer, according to the Scientific American. The principal defect was the vertical discharge of the water, making it necessary for the consumer to place his mouth directly over the point Of discharge. It was found that the majority of persons drank with the lips touching the nozzle. The investi- gators devised a new type of fountain In which the discharge is at such an angle that there is no possibility of water falling back from the mouth up on or near the orifee.

opportunity to go to their home dls- trlcts and look after their elections.

For several years United States army officers have been clamoring for horses. and efforts have been made from time to time to secure or provide for supply. Congress did not heed this demand, however, and the people themselves did not undertake to ere ate q supply of horses because the de mand was not kept up.
 Men from the horse breeding regions have told committees of congress that the use of tractors has had a great eff feet in decreasing horse raising. For n time 1t was supposed that automo- piles had great deal to do with les senIng the demand for horses, but 1t was not until the tractor engines be- came useful on the farms that the horse supply fell off to such n great extent.

AREA COVERED BY OFFENSIVE STANDS LIKE IT DID
 IN 1916.
MANY CONFLICTING REPORTS
French Drive Wedge Into Advancing Line for Six Miles-Germans Widen Operations in thc
 North Part of Line

Slowly assuming the shape of gi- ant plowshare. the German drive in Picardy has come almost to a halt ex- cept at the very tip of the salient driven into the lines of the entente allies. AS the area covered by the Teutonic offensive stands now, it ex- tends, on the south, in an almost straight line from Landricourt. on the old "Hindenburg line," to Mont Didier, well behind the allied positions as they stood in 1916.
 Savage fighting has taken place on the French part of the line The Ger man attempts to advance on the ex- treme tip of the salient driven into the French positions have been fruitless and they have been driven back at the point of the bayoDet The British on the front north of the Scarpe also have repulsed the enemy, but south of this river they have been forced to re- tire
 From Mont Didier the line to the northeast runs with sharp angle to Warvillers and there it turns north ward and passes along the Somme river to above Albert. where it again turns to the northeast until Ii joins the old lines held by the contending armies on the morning of March 21.
 Out of the confuson of the battle, and the contrary claims of the contest ing armies, two new features stand out. The first is that the French. over front of six miles. have driven into the German lines along the southern side of the salient established by the Teutonic drive. The other is that the Germans have begun a new operation to the east of Arras. which may be the inception of widening of the area of battle to the northward

 So we went down to the dock. It was moonlight, and the old launch coming in looking some way romantic. What was she bringing us? Some thing within me suggested food.
 The launch came alongside; a man with couple of grips jumped ashore; then the boat backed away and nmped of again into the darkness.

 "Of course you are welcome" Lu- cile was wondering how she was going to break the news of the fasting to him.

NEW SHEPARD IS EXPENSIVE
Naval Architect Estimates Cost of Construction in Testifying Be-
 fore Senate Committee.

Washington.-Total cost to the gov ernment for constructing the shipyard at Hog Island, Pa. where 120 fabri- cated steel ships are to be built under the agency contract plan, will be be- tween $35,O00. 900 and s4O.0O0. .O00. the senate commerce committee was told by John R. Freeman of Providence, R. l., an expert naval architect, brought here to testify by the contractors.
 This sum includes only the yard construction and does not take into consideration any work on ship con struction.
 An original estimate was made at S21,O00,O00. but officials of the Inter nation corporation estimated it would be much more than that
 Members of the senate committed. have expressed belief that the total cost would go beyond Freeman's est mate.

Secretary Lane of the interior de partment never neglects an opportu- nifty to boost Alaska. One might think that Alaska was his pet province, judg- ing from all that he says about 1t from time to time. In n recent statement he pointed out that Alaska's response to the call to the colors twas character istically snappy. big and effective. The wireless message which told the pio- neers of the far North that their coun- try had joined In the world war against kaiserism at once started men and money to the front"
 With that statement as starter the secretary goes on to tell of the won derful productiveness of Alaska and what 1t Is doing now to help carry on the war.

Secretary Houston of the agricul- tural department is very anxious that the farmers of the country should take an active part in the next Liberty loan and buy extensively the bonds which the government Is going to is- sue. It is the opinion of men who have been in communication with farmers throughout the country that they are likely to follow the advice of Secre- tary Houston and subscribe for the bonds. It Is said that they have not fully understood the matter of Liberty bonds heretofore, but gradually the facts have been circulated throughout the country districts and 1t Is thought that the farmers will come forward pa triotically now that they are better posted and support the government when the next Liberty loan Is launched.

General Pershing Has Some of Best Experts on Duty-Montana Man Ex- aQe
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-Ever since the Over man bill was introduced. that bill which gives the president greater pow CT and authorizes him to reorganize the various executive departments so as to facilitate war measures. there has been much talk of opposition. Con- ferences have been held at the White lives have wrangled over the measure In committee. On account of this kind of talk 1t was assumed that great deal of opposition had arisen and that this bill might fail.
 Senator Overman, however, scouts the idea of there being any difficulty whatever In putting the bill through. He says that 1t is war measure i: that there is one strong prevailing idea in this country that is, to beat the Ger mans; that the president as command CT In chief must have all the power he needs to carry on the war and If the legislation provided for in the Over man bill Is deemed necessary by the president, why that legislation is going to be passed.
 The North Carolina senator Is right Legislation which the president says Is necessary to carry on the war. and which he insists must be enacted, will be passed even If certain senators and representatives have scruples as to its constitutionallty.

It took man from Montana to ex- plain to committees of congress why fhere was a meat shortage. Not only fhp man from Montana, but men from all over the West have given informa- ton to the same effect. The meat shortage of the West, they say, has been due in large part to turning over the grass lands and using them for farms instead of grazing purposes. Grass is as necessary for meat as the feeding of grain to stock before send ing to market, There has been n falling off in stock raising on this ac- count Just now the shortage of food for stock that needs fattening is also contributing to the short meat supply.
 II seems absurd, but even at this stage of congressional action there Is talk about adjournment.

When the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill was being considered in the house Congressman Caldwell of New York and Meeker of Missouri came out strongly in fa- yor of increasing the allowance now paid to members of 2,000 year for clerk hire. Caldwell wanted 1t raised to So. 400. while Meeker valiantly held forth for S320O. One of Meeker's ar guments was that a congressman should not have to look after depart mental matters that constantly require attention, and that he cannot employ sufficient clerical help to look after such matters without going deep into his own pockets to pay for it.
 "The danger to the American con gress today" shouted Meeker. "is that the membership shall become mere de- partment funkeys for their districts and forget the legislative end of it. the thing for which they were sent"
 Although this is true to great eX- tent there seemed to be "hunch" that any increase in the allowance just be- fore election time would have m un- happy effect upon constituencies. and both propositions were rejected.
